Chapter 238: Mist (2/2)
Next, he dissected the monster that looked like a crossbreed of cat and monkey. The name of the monster was Purple Face Cat. It was a rank CC monster based on Sistela's appraisal when he fought it.
The knife drew a vertical wound on the monster's body after he stabbed it and pulled it downward. Although he was careful, the blood still spurted from the wounds and tainted the gloves on his hands. Some even sprayed on the cloth that was covering his mouth.
Without minding it, he placed the knife away and dug his hand into the wound. His fingers scrutinized the inside until it touched a solid object.
When he retreated his hand, it was already holding a rough solid object. He then took another cloth and started wiping it until it was gleaming with crystal-like luster.
He continued what he was doing until more and more rough-round objects were amassing on his bed.
He used his forearm to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
To finish up his work, he cleaned up and placed the corpses back in the collector's mouths.
He stored the blood-stained clothes in his storage and would be going to burn them away later.
When all the work was done, he sat again on the bed. Then took his 5d-Seer to feed it with souls coming from the inner cores.
It didn't take long for the 5d-Seer to absorb enough souls.
After the 5d-Seer's battery was fully-filled, he started playing on it. First, he checked on his Ranker stats.
He leveled up to 3 for the first four matched but the last fight he had was not able to level him. Probably the higher the level he became, the lower he leveled up.
After closing the Ranker Status panel, he received an unexpected notification in the form of a loud tone coming from his 5d-Seer.
No need to ask what it was. Just based on its tone, it was easy to guess that it was a challenge invitation.
However, Yman gawked upon seeing the rectangular box floating in front of him because there wasn't only a single one of them. About ten challenge invitations came at the same time!
Looks like he gathered popularity without him knowing. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. Or perhaps it was a normal occasion.
His mouth broke into a wry smile before he scanned each of them. Most of them were of the same level as him, and some were low-level. He then checked their Ranker Status one by one. He wanted to fight a higher level Ranker, but oh well.
After tapping the choices, it was followed by a rectangular box asking him to Dive in or Abort.
Before clicking his desired choice, he first put away the other things on his bed and laid himself comfortably on the bed.
A misty surrounding greeted him after choosing the Dive In choices.
