Vol 17 Chapter 2 (2/2)
<spiritual power=”” +1=””>
“As expected!”
Ark was convinced once the e wasn’t just decided by defense and attack power The attack and defense power displayed in the inforure Hoas applied depended on the situation It was coo was a soul monster while invalidated physical attacked by 50~80 Yet Ark had overlooked one iic And he was dealing with a monster with a soul body When used on a nore and soul absorbed wasn’t that much
‘Soul Extortion is a skill which shows its pri soul monsters!’
Once confirrees Before now Ark had only thought about heading to Dragonian He had thought it was a waste of tioes
“But if I use Soul Extortion on the wendigoes then I can extract dozens of Spiritual Power Then……”
Ark’s eyes widened The quest wasn’t a problem anymore It wasn’t necessary to say but the aarded Yet he couldn’t put stat points into Spiritual Power and he hadn’t seen an item to increase it In the end, Soul Extortion was the only way to increase his Spiritual Power Although it had seemed inefficient, he used Soul Extortion in his desperate situation
“After changing to my 2nd profession, my skills require even more Spiritual Power But Soul Extortion only increases by 1 so it would take several days to increase it by one hundred…”
So this place here he could get the maximum effect for Soul Extortion Furtheroes in the chaos space that it was al Soul Extortion than how much would his Spiritual Power increase by?
“I need to grind to raise my Spiritual Power
A…this is a jackpot!”
Ark felt like dancing He could solve his proble his Spiritual Power here
“If it is 3~4 opponents like now then hunting won’t be a problem……”
The probleed in a wide place If there are 30~40 in a limited space then he could use Blade Tempest but it would still be difficult It wasn’t necessary to say but he had to use Soul Extortion in order to increase his Spiritual Power by 1
“Should I reduce the number and then absorb the rest of them?”
But the wendigoes were similar to cockroaches even if there was a lioes forever When he killed 5 wendigoes he only received 1 spiritual power
‘That absolutely can’t happen Despite thesea bonus, he couldn’t just rush in to kill the Soul Extortion But to deal with 30~40 wendigoes in a limited space……”
Ark looked at his su Taunt That left 25~35 opponents left Ark wouldn’t be able to deal with the re He had to think outside the box
“I need to have Racard somehow lure half of them…”
Ark murmured until he had a brilliant flash in his
“Aha, why did I forget about that?”
“What? Why? Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
Racard averted his gaze with unease at Ark’s expression Then Ark turned his head and showed off his neck
“Racard, suck my blood!”
“Eh? Really? I can eat? Really? It’s not a joke?”
“Don’t talk nonsense and just suck!”
“Ohhhhh, understood I definitely won’t be in trouble later on?”
Suck, suck, suck, suck
Racard instantly flew to him and bit his neck
‘Ugh, this dirty feeling… But…Huhuhu, today’s suffering is tooes won’t be a problehosts will die I’ll catch you and devour you all!’
Ark’s face became pale as blood drained from him
—————————————————————————————————-
“Oh, I’m dizzy…”
He naturally frowned as he experienced dizziness He had anaemia because Racard sucked his blood thirteen times
“Still, it is lucky that he succeeded on the thirteenth time……”
Anyway, Ark’s accoht his prelio hunt
“Now shall I begin?”
Ark looked at the approaching land and laughed As soon as he stepped on the land y started to rise froround With a black foroes! The space soon filled with 30 wendigoes as they surrounded Ark At any other time Ark would be filled with tension But this time his mouth overfloith saliva from the anticipation
“Huhuhu, give me Spiritual Power!”
Ark instantly showed his teeth when the wendigoes appeared
“I’ll grab and eat all of you!”
Kukyakyakyakya, kukyakyakyakya!
The 30 wendigoes shrieked as they responded to his voice and ran up to him Ark wiped at the saliva on his teeth and smiled
“Racard, it’s starting! Use your Blood-sucking skill!”
“Ohhhh, Blood-sucking skill activate!”
Racard opened his wings and flew froht as he used the skill Then the ring of light moved up and down Racard’s body before it turned into the shape of a bat The ring of light split into three Then four bats flew around the wendigoes and shouted
“These trivial boogeyry then eat my shi+t!”
The wendigoes flinched and stoppedTheir eyes followed Racard before the shrieked and started running after hi
“Cherish your life and run away!”
The three bats scattered at Racard’s order
While sohed before running away The wendigoes scattered as well and started running after the bats
“Huhuhu, this is an easy method……”
Ark watched the scene with a warm expression This was the oes Just use the ‘ Vaht fires
‘There is no place to hide frooes here so all I can rely on is Racard’s TauntBut Racard could only lure 5 monsters with Taunt Racard wouldn’t be able to draw all the wendigoes away’
Then Ark caht Illusion Wouldn’t it be different if he could increase the nuoes then it didn’t ht Illusion But the probleoes The alter egos created by Moonlight Illusion didn’t have any battle ability If he tried to go around in such a soes and destroyed However, Racard’s alter ego could fly so it was different It was possible to avoid the attacks fro about the limited space and terrain
‘If I use Racard’s Blood-sucking skill then there is no need to wait for the cool down time!’
Originally Moonlight Illusion was a skill that was only available once a day But just like when he used Slime’s Ti skill
“If I use this method then I won’t have to suffer”
He thought as the stupid wendigoes ran after Racard However, Ark still didn’t take anything for granted If he just went directly to Dragonian that he wouldn’t need to devise such a strategy The game was a place where soos flew around the area, 20 wendigoes chased after them so 10 were left It was still a lot of opponents even when the numbers decreased by 1/3rd If the 10 of them turned into one solidpushed off the cliff like before However, Ark already took precautions against that
“They’re surging! Razak, defense stance! Prepare for impact!”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
Razak stood in front of Ark with his shi+eld in front of him and took a stable stance With one foot forward and the other back, it was a stable stance The 10 staoes ran into that stance and there was a loud ringing sound While Razak flinched, he wasn’t pushed back by the charge His stance had taken the impact
Clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
After Razak fended off their assault, he then swung his shi+eld There was a clanging sound and 5 of the wendigoes were thrown Thanks to the affection stat Ark poured on Razak, his shi+eld Stroke had risen to Advanced level
-The level of your pet Razak’s shi+eld Stroke has increased
shi+eld Stroke (Intermediate, Passive): your ability to handle the shi+eld has become more precise and you can now push the enemy more effectively You can also use shi+eld Stroke to strike five enemies at the same time If all five attacks succeed ten the distance pushed back will increase
<the defense=”” of=”” the=”” shi+eld=”” increases=”” by=”” 30=”” dae=”” to=”” enemy=”” when=”” struck=”” with=”” the=”” shi+eld=”” +45,=”” probability=”” of=”” stiffness=”” increased=”” by=”” 20=”” and=”” advanced=”” shi+eld=”” stroke=”” can=”” be=”” used=”” 5=”” times=”” in=”” a=”” row=””>
‘It is good that I raised Razak’s skill’
In fact, Ark had worried for a while about whether to use his Affection stat on Racard’s Taunt or Razak’s shi+eld Stroke He had 134 Affection but unlike rising froinner to intermediate, it cost 100 Affection to raise a skill to advanced After conte Razak’s shi+eld Stroke skill While the number of monsters lured would increase with the skill level Racard’s body was insufficient to deal with the nued that it would be better to increase Razak’s skill and have him back Ark up
…It was an excellent choice
Razak hitting 5 of them with his shi+eld meant that 5 monsters would be tied up With both Racard and Razak, Ark only had to deal with 5~6 opponents
“Okay Well done Razak!”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!
Razak’s spirit increased froetically Meanwhile Ark extended a hand and shouted
“Soul Extortion!”
A huge, transparent hand was released frohtly different frorew like the hand of a devil It wasn’t only the appearance that changed The speed which it flew at the target was faster and it also grabbed a larger piece of soul The hand of a devil grabbed the wendigo and tore off a piece of its shoulder The wendigo lost 20 of its health from the attack
‘As expected, increasing it is good!’
Ark laughed at the tattered sight of the wendigo Ark’s preparation wasn’t just increasing the skill of his suree of proficiency in which Soul Extortion rose was actually pretty slow Despite using it hundreds of ti Mountain, it only increased to 30 Well, he hadn’t thought it was useful at the time so he hadn’t really been interested
‘If the level of Soul Extortion increases then wouldn’t the Spiritual Power absorption be more efficient?’
It was a perfect chance for some investment So Ark invested the 80 skill points he had saved into Soul Extortion
-Soul Extortion (Inter increase et e to the target won’t increase but the aathered will increase In addition, the souls draill be more easily absorbed and will increase your Spiritual Power more quickly
<inter=”” soul=”” extortion,=”” there=”” is=”” a=”” 2=”” chance=”” of=”” causing=”” a=”” low=”” level=”” curse=”” for=”” 10=”” seconds=””>
Soul Extortion will succeed when it deals 70 of the dae if they die and the resurrection time will be increased to a maximum of 96 hours
It orth investing points in the skill Before this he had to catch 5~7 wendigoes before his Spiritual Power increased by 1 Now that it increased to intermediate, he only had to catch 4~6 The absorption rate had become better
‘There is only a difference of one but that difference will have a huge i dozens of monsters!’
Now there was also a chance of inflicting a curse on the wendigoes The curse was one which decreased stats Even a low level curse would decrease stats by 10
‘It is a surprisingly hile skill to grow!’
“Soul Extortion! Soul Extortion!”
Ark looked around with an excited expression as the soul of the wendigoes was eaten The wendigoes instinctively felt fear and hurried away but with Lock on, Soul Extortion had a 70 chance of hitting! Besides, the area was only 50 e of Ark’s Soul Extortion was 30~40 reat space for hio and tore a piece of its soul
Kiiiiik, kiiiiik!
After he grabbed it a few ti such a shape, it was slightly pitiful But Ark had no pity in these circumstances
“Don’t pretend to be cute! Soul Extortion!”
Ark transferred the hand to the wendigo and picked it up After the small eyeball was taken care of, he looked for other prey The reainst 1 was slightly burdensome on Ark But Ark had already taken counter measures for the problem
“Not a chance Dark Dance!”
Ark’s feet host
-Dark Dance’s percentage of completion: 60!
As soon as he used Dark Dance, his degree of completion reached 60Fortunately his evasion rate rose sharply but Ark shook his head
‘No, it’s not enough I’ree of completion increases even more!’
Dark Scale was triggered when his percentage of completion on Dark Dance surpassed 70 And Dark Scale decreased his evasion while increasing his defense by 30 It was good up to that point The proble attacks That was unacceptable if Ark wanted to eat 100 of the wendigo’s soul So Ark deliberately made mistakes and maintained his co as ht
“I can’t waste even 1 point of Spiritual Power on Razak’s shi+eld Stroke!”
Already the wendigoes weren’t y to increase Ark’s Spiritual Power
“Huhuhu, your actions are futile! I have to eat your souls before your health decreases more! Soul Extortion, Soul Extortion!”
Ark went around like a ghost without resting and sed the souls of the wendigoes And the fist continued chasing after theoes ran away He didn’t care which oes after 5 minutes but he had lost 30 of his health In theoff the wendigoes But that wasn’t a proble with the wendigoes was up to now Racard and his alter egos had lured oes But noas simple to handle them
“Racard, take care of all of them!”
“I understand Alter ego no 1, attack everything!”
This was a coht with the eneos ioes However, they disappeared with one hit froue
“Ohh, it is htly ill for some reason?”
Racard rubbed his cheek and o disappeared, Ark and Razak looked at the wendigoes with sparkling eyes Yes, when an alter ego disappeared then Ark would take care of the 5 wendigoes that it lured
“Once againBe prepared Razak!”
Clack clack clack clack! Clack clack clack clack!
It was obviously much easier to care for 5 opponents than 10 Razak easily blocked their charge and Ark started to eat again After eating those 5, he o disappear and took care of the next 5…… So Ark oes after 30 minutes
“Huhuhu, it’s pretty salty?”
Ark clicked his tongue andcare of 30 wendigoes And his Spiritual Power had only increased by 4 after 30 minutes It had been around one week since he first learnt the skill and ca that time Soul Extortion only increased it by 7 It really was a reckless growth rate However, there was no compensation in return
“Master, I’ve already used all the Moonlight Illusion…”
Racard approached Ark and er Ark’s satisfied face instantly turned pale All the skills obtained by Blood-sucking had been used In other words, he needed to suck blood to obtain new skills Yes, that was the only fear Ark had about hunting for Spiritual Power Racard’s use of Moonlight Illusion was essential for hunting the wendigoes And Racard had to suck blood froht Illusion The problem was that the skill absorbed was random He didn’t knohat skill would be absorbed Previously Racard had to suck his blood thirteen times before his slots were filled It would have to be repeated oes Thanks to that, it was like Ark had been caught by Karakul again Ark frowned as he looked at the approaching Racard
What do you mean? No skills? Didn’t you fill two slots?”
“Eh? Didn’t you know? One of the alter egos died when Master was fighting against them So I quickly renewed the skill for Master Didn’t I do well?”
‘This guy……’
Ark had wanted to diligently save Moonlight Illusion However, Racard had tasted his Master’s blood and ended up using the Moonlight Illusion in both slots during the battle Noas free to request blood Ark could clearly see through Racard Perhaps he even let his alter ego die on purpose However, he had no evidence to prove it
“You…aren’t you afraid for your future?”
“What do you erous I am a loyal summon”
Racard retorted with shi+ning eyes On the other hand, Ark’s eyes were filled with bitterness and a desire for revenge
“Dammit, I understand Let me just quickly do this”
Ark sighed and made a meal He needed to resupply his herbal decoction which would prevent hi the herbal medicine, Ark stretched his neck for Racard who muttered with dissatisfaction
“Eew, you have a herbalme uncomfortable……”
“…Do you want to die?”
“U-understood! Okay I’ll just start eating I’ll eat well Aang!”
Suck, suck, suck, suck!
Ark sighed as he started to feel dizzy This tiht Illusion was absorbed Radun and Razak looked at hiretful eyes as Ark turned pale But Ark clenched his teeth tightly and raised his body
“Uhh, there’s no ti Spiritual Power I have to quickly fill my Spiritual Power!”
“Hihi, okay Let’s hunt quickly Master I want to hunt!”
Racard wiped his mouth and smirked
Ark had goose buhtened of his summon
