Chapter 53 - The Knight And The Horse (Part 1) (1/2)

[Monster Meats cannot be ingested. The penalty is the reduction of your HP permanently if you do so].

'I don't even know what HP is... What the hell, I'm hungry!' Nhaac! Luke closed his jaw tightly and quickly swallowed a Rabbit's Foot.

[Rare Monster-Rabbit Meat ingested. You will be penalized 3... 2... 1.]

Next, the half-wolf felt his chest tighten like never before, and an atrocious tingling began to spread throughout the entire left side of his body. Within moments, he no longer had the strength even to hold the food, which fell from his hand while his entire body shook with an agonizing cold that penetrated his entire spine.

[His life points were permanently diminished.] He heard the voice say in his head, with a peaceful tone.

After a few seconds, Luke regained his body movements and stood up quickly.

'Okay... I will never do that again in my life.' He said to himself, his hand on his stomach as he felt a lump in his throat.

'You don't like it? Taste another little piece, go...”

A whisper passed by the man's left ear, alerting him. However, when he turned to see where the dull voice had come from, there was nothing. Confused, all his powerful ears could detect next was a draft.

'I have to get out of here before I go crazy.' He thought, believing that the murmur had been caused by the wind's introit.

Now that he was partially fed, Luke was in a bit of a mood to continue, but it was impossible to tell if he made the right choice by ingesting the drop from the Biped Rabbit. The only good news was this new draft, which could mean the surface.

Not wanting to waste much more time, Luke started following the wind noise through the shadows, which would give him an advantage in case any monsters appeared, and he made the right decision by sneaking around because he soon found another horde of Biped Rabbits.

In one chamber, all these white, fluffy, ultra-strong monsters had an established wheel, the center of which was being dominated by two larger Biped Rabbits, who were exchanging kicks and punches.

From his own experience, Luke knew that those white-haired legs were not to be underestimated, so he tried to silently surround all these frightening creatures.

Since the place where the half-wolf was standing was a little higher, he just thought to continue on his way, and for a thief, that was no big deal, he went on silently as always.

When at last the faint sound of wind became a little louder, Luke found a colossal flight of stairs.

”Are you sure you're going to follow? Hihihi!” A thin voice murmured in his right ear this time, causing Luke to immediately poke the air with his sharp fingers, but nothing was hit.

'What the fuck was that?'

The half-wolf's instincts began to alert frantically right after the whisper, urging him not to go any further. However, the man had no choice, because his only clue about the direction of the surface was the air current.

Against his will, he stepped on the first step... and nothing happened. Tap! Tap! He climbed one step after another, not bothering to make any noise because he knew that what awaited him at the end was not good.
