“Activate Shadowveil!”
Soran’s figure became barely visible in the darkness He tore a piece of cloth from his tattered shi+rt and tied another knot above the wound on his thigh in order to further suppress the bleeding, reducing the pain he felt whenHowever, this was only a temporary measure, and it could worsen the wound if he did not untie the strap in tiue!” Soran cal experience points to his profession
Slaughter EXP was a type of soul energy as well as the highest tier of experience point It could be used forup all professions and sub-professions, paying the cost for changing professions, and advancing to the next profession grade Furtherhter EXP could be used as a s, and even alchemy Under normal circumstances, no one would use such a precious type of experience at low levels as it simply had too many uses in the future
However, there was no such thing as ‘the future’ if Soran did not use the points now
“The profession Rogue is now Level 4”
“Received 24 [DEX 20+ (INT 18-10)05] Skill Points, HP increased by 10 [Profession HP 6+ (CON 18-10)05]”
“Received 1 Free Attribute Point”
Soran’s pale face gradually regained its color as the 10 HP he gained froed his status from ‘Seriously Injured’ to ‘Moderately Injured’ His reflexes were no longer hindered by the injury, and his rate of stamina consumption had returned to normal instead of the double consumption rate he’d had due to his injured status
He assigned all skill points to Sneak in one go, raising it to 102
When having 100 orShadowveil had a si the spell-like ability Blur Unless so for his traces, Soran could easily hide hi his presence
As for the free attribute point, Soran clenched his teeth as he unwillingly assigned it to Constitution since the difference between 20 and 21 points in Dexterity was insignificant Unless he could raise his Dexterity all the way to 25 right now to obtain the Legendary skill Shadow Real the point to Constitution was the better option in this situation With his Constitution close to inhueret the ability Rebirth with one more point That was an essential skill for advanced adventurers as well
Soran’s physical condition i the additional point to Constitution He sneakily crouched and walked toward the bend in the tunnel not far ahead
There could be ain The option of further exploring the cave was now unviable, at least before getting the skill Trap Sense
Soran must somehow kill the snake de the de exponentially over time He could rest all he wanted afterwards
“Hunpowder?”
Soran slowly headed toward the snake de the situation with his past experience
“The explosive trap should be powered by a ic formation for Fireball”
Soran could not sense the elements in the air as he did not have the skill Spellcraft, but his past experiences were very useful in this case
In a place not far ahead, the figure of the battered snake deround covered with burnt and cracked scales and lumps of flesh The tall and heavy demon could not ht and received the full brunt of the explosion If not for its innate defence buffs, the snake demon would have become a chunk of dead meat already
It was still alive, but it was by nofro out from its sides, not to mention its completely crushed spine It could not have survived in such a condition if it was not a deh HP
“Pssssssssssss!”
The snake de the moment he entered its field of vision
Low-ranked snake demons with four arms or less were uage As per the species’ traits, only feence, and only spellcasters in the tribe could speak other languages like the hue
The snake dester who surave wounds and slithered toward Soran It could no longer hold back its hatred, blood lust, and desire to slaughter everything—not that it ever did in the first place
Clung!
The snake de itself, but it rowling in pain
Soran easily dodged the inco attack and stabbed his rusty sword into the enerip, easily puncturing through the crushed and cracked scales
Hot blood squirted out of the wound Most snake-like creatures were cold-blooded, but plenty of snake deions
Fizzzzzzzzzzz!
Some of the blood landed on Soran’s body, and he soon felt a scorching feeling where it landed
He iitated yet serious look “Acidic blood?”
Siradually for at the places covered in demon blood This snake deh-ranked deh-ranked dee to the already severely injured snake de life force, the snake demon frenziedly attacked with its swords but failed to land a single hit on the target The snake deth, with its strikes weakened due to low stareatly by its injuries
“It’s over!”
After dodging another one of its slashes, Soran took in a deep breath and yelled as he leapt into the air With both hands holding onto the longsword, he dived toward the snake de at its heart
