Karl fell to the ground with the bird. He stayed on the ground and let out a sigh of relief. ”I have a feeling this dungeon isn't gonna be easy. If this is the first level, then what's the last level like?”

Kerym also sighed. He sat down beside Karl, breathing heavily as he tried to catch his breath. He considered what Karl said. If they struggled with the first level, then would they even be able to reach the last? He shook those thoughts away, he would never give up just because it was hard. ”Harder than this, but who cares? The harder it is, the better the rewards.”

Karl nodded. He should've known that going into this, it wouldn't be easy. Taking deep breaths, he calmed himself and caught his breath. As he was laying down, something weird happened. The bird's corpse became bright green. He turned to Kerym and yelled at him, ”Get away from the body!”

Karl and Kerym quickly got up and backed away from the body. They carefully watched the bird's corpse, wondering what was happening.

”What's happening?” Kerym asked.

”How should I know?” Karl replied while holding his dagger tightly.

Dilya approached the two. She also carefully watched the glowing green corpse. ”I thought we killed it?”

The bright green corpse slowly disappeared, leaving a glowing green orb on the ground.

”What is it?” Karl asked, approaching the orb.

Dilya motioned for Karl to stop. ”Wait, let me inspect it.”

”Alright,” Karl replied.

Dilya walked up to the orb and inspected it.

[Orb of Air Manipulation:] This is a rare drop from a boss. Absorbing this orb will give you the ability to manipulate air.

Dilya gasped as she read what the orb did. If it was anything like Karl's ability, she should be able to control air without using mana.

Kerym watched from the side, looking at the orb. ”What? Is it anything bad?”

Dilya shook her head and grabbed the orb, holding it in her hand. ”On the contrary, it's very good. I inspected it and it said that if I absorb this, it'll give me the ability to manipulate air. I would like this for myself, but if you want it, you can have it.”

Karl raised his eyebrow hearing this. 'Air manipulation? Did the bird have that?'

Karl waved his hands in front of him. ”No, you can have it. It suits you more than it suits me. Plus, I already have a good ability.”

”Yay, thank you!” Dilya jumped with joy. ”But how do I absorb it now?”

A screen popped up in front of Dilya.

[Would you like to absorb the [Orb of Air Manipulation]?]

[Y/N]

Dilya extended his finger and pressed yes. The orb disappeared, turning into a green mist. It covered Dilya and disappeared, a window popping up.

[You have learned Air Manipulation.]

”Do you feel any different?” Karl asked Dilya.
