The first baseuration than the first floor
The interesting configuration with ate felt like a basement prison
The map worked in a systeht, the door to the next area would open Because of that, there was less need to move with consideration in battles compared to the first floor
The her than the ones on the first floor, but Ian could hunt more safely
“Good, good As expected, the first discoverer buff is like honey!”
At the endlessly surging EXP, it was to the point where it was difficult for Ian to maintain his composure
He wasn’t able to gain even one useful item yet despite the doubled item loot rate, but he wasn’t very sad about it
Ian repeated battle after battle and sloent to the deeper end of the dungeon
And he discovered an enorate different from the ones from before
“Bbookbbook, it looks like there’s soht?”
Bbook-?
Ian, as about to open the door just like he did with the ones before, momentarily stopped
It was because he somehow felt that there would be a Boss-rank monster inside
‘I’ll have to ’
Ian was someone who trusted his intuition
‘It’s also almost time for Ly’s Berserk skill’s cooldown time to be over…’
While Ian was checking the monsters’ conditions, he discovered Bbookbbook’s Potential had hit 20
‘Huh? Why is his Potential already at 20?’
And after thinking about it for a bit, he was able to figure out the reason
‘Oh, right, he ate a Mandragora yesterday…’
For a split second, he felt regret towards the Mandragora, but he quickly forgot about it
And since the situation was already like this, Ian decided to use Skill Grant on Bbookbbook before they opened the doors and went in
“Bbookbbook, come here”
Bbook-?
Bbookbbook crawled over to Ian
Through Ian’s constant praise and ifts, Bbookbbook was quite obedient now
‘It would be the best if an aggro skill came up’
By an aggro skill, hethe skill’s caster turn their attention to them by force
It was a skill that you could call a necessity for a Tanker
‘Although, Bbookbbook’s unique cry is a decent aggro skill as well…’
As Bbookbbook’s cry didn’t pull attention forcibly, there were tilance at him no matter how much Bbookbbook yelled and ran around
Because of that, Ian desperately wanted an aggro skill and cast Skill Grant
“Familiar Skill Grant!”
And as Ian cast that skill, a white bundle of light was sucked into Bbookbbook
And a systee popped up
You have used ‘Familiar Skill Grant’ on ‘Bbookbbook’
20 of Bbookbbook’s Potential has been consumed
Familiar ‘Bbookbbook’ has obtained skill ‘Shell Expansion’
He did use Skill Grant without much expectations, but Ian felt an unknown nervousness at the name of the skill, which looked like it wouldn’t have much use
And then the skill information popped up
Shell Expansion
Classification – Active Skill
Skill Rank – Common
Requirement – Can only be invoked when inside shell
Cooldown Time – None
When in Shell Expansion state, Vitality and Defensive Power increases 100, and becomes immobile
For the duration of Shell Expansion state, perceived as an inanimate object
When skill is used again, Shell Expansion state is released, and body returns to original size
Ian, who read the skill information, had a dejected expression
He did desperately want an aggro skill, but he thought any other normal skill wouldn’t be that bad, either
Realistically, the chance of getting a skill related to aggro-ing ah
And if a decent skill ca it with the knuckle’s inherent ability, so he thought it would be helpful in his fighting power
However, this Expansion skill couldn’t be invoked due to Ian’s body condition, but even if it could be invoked, that would be a bigger problem
To Ian, who didn’t fight by taking hits froility-based co fast to attack weak points, this skill was basically equivalent to a debuff instead
“Ha…”
A deep sigh left Ian’s mouth
“What the hell is perceived as an inani dead?”
He felt that if Bbookbbook were to use Shell Expansion from now on, he wouldn’t die no matter where Ian threw him
‘Is there nothing like Skill Deletion?’
There was no way for hi like that
In order to delete Shell Expansion, the only as to collect Bbookbbook’s Potential again and use Skill Grant on hiain
Ian thought deeply
‘Is there any way to make this Shell Expansion skill useful?’
Ian gazed at Bbookbbook with a distant look
Bbook-?
At Bbookbbook’s expression that seemed to say he didn’t understand the circuth drain autoive up
He wanted to find a way to use Bbookbbook in battle no matter what
“Bbookbbook, let’s try using the new skill you learned”
At Ian’s words, Bbookbbook nodded his head and cast the skill
Bbook-
The fact that Bbookbbook listened to commands well could at least be considered consolation
“Hmm…”
As Bbookbbook used the skill, Bbookbbook’s head slipped into his shell first
And his body slowly got bigger, where the se shi+eld
Ian let out a deep sigh
‘It’s exactly the size of a round shi+eld’
