Chapter 96 (1/2)

“Hooo.”

I don’t intend to go straight down. Among the 100 monsters with vampires, going down without any preparation is a reckless act, suicide attempt.

In the meantime, I need to raise my power to the highest level.

I took out Kelby.

I quickly caught his snout before he barked.

“Be quiet, okay?”

He looked at me and nodded.

He breathed deeply and looked around.

“I’m alone now.” I said to him.

He bowed his head like he was very disappointed. He’s a little hurt.

I checked his status through the manual. The amount of items that he ate is quite a lot so there’s probably a change in growth rate. It was in the list of items and all the things in his stomach were digested.

—

Hell Keeper Cerberus (0)

Growth: 41

Special Abilities: Eat items to grow. The higher the level of the item, the more it grows. It cannot die. Gain additional abilities by growing.

Additional abilities: It can eat monsters.

—

This guy’s skill is always focused on eating. Actually, he might be a pig, not a dog.

The items that he ate were already digested, and these and other abilities will be attached. It is not listed in the manual, but I believed that he knew it well and will use it.

Next up is the upgrading of the dancing sword. I put it off for a while. The upgrade of the dancing sword, which initially required 50 ore, now requires 500. I now have about 700 ore left.

– Would you like to upgrade your Blunt Dancing Sword (0)?

A green message appeared in the manual, I chose ‘Accept’ and waited for the work to finish.

10% ….. 15% ……

It will take a little longer this time than I thought. In the meantime, I watched the monsters carefully. It’s easy to distinguish the vampire base from their exceptional appearance.

According to the manual, there are:

Level 1 (five monsters)

Level 2 (two monsters)

Level 3 (two monsters)

Level 5 (one monster)

Other monsters were mixed from level 1 to level 4. I didn’t saw any monster higher than level 5 that can defeat the level of the Count vampires. Maybe there are not here, or maybe they don’t exist.

Now, let’s plan on how I should fight them.

At present, I think that my level of skills, including equipment, goes beyond level 7. But that doesn’t mean that I can easily deal with 100 monsters below level 5.

The counts are mixed with other vampires, and many monsters are unknown. Without knowing exactly what the enemy is capable of, the battle will only prompts the opponent.

I will hit the weakest part and break the portal and escape immediately. This operation is possible since I have the Escape. I don’t need to worry about being surrounded and killed.

The next question is how to break the portal made of that stone.

On the surface, it looks like a brick stone, but the rectangular shaped passage has a vast amount of magic waving in red.It’s not difficult to break it down if the structure itself that gives the power is damaged. If I am going to hit it with the Toyul hammer, I have to think about how the aftermath will be to me. The only way for now is to believe on the black plate armor.

At this time, I think I need a modern weapon. If I had a missile, I can definitely blow it away.

I suddenly remember Soo Ah’s face.

If she’s here, she might just suggest to push it using the 10-person Van.

– The Blunt Dancing Sword (0) has been upgraded to a Heavy Blunt Dancing Sword (0).

The upgrade of the dancing sword is over. I feel like I’m stuck with something that is useless, but I wasn’t disappointed and looked at the item through the manual.

—

Heavy Blunt Dancing Sword (0): Stays around the user and attacking or defending the target. Depending on your settings, you can use a variety of attack methods. It is very heavy.

—

“Is it really all this?”

I invested 500 ores…. Is this all? It’s a waste of investment simply because it gets heavy.

I picked up the floating dancing sword in the air. I was thinking of seeing how heavy it is.

Grab.

“Owhh…”

Wow! I can lose my shoulder with this! If there’s no Soo Ah’s buff on my strength, it can weigh about 300 kilograms with one hand.

This weight itself becomes a weapon. The speed is still the same, but it weighs more than ten times the original weight. That means that the destructive power of the dancing sword itself has increased ten times also.

I like it very much.

The only disadvantage of a dancing sword is its weakness. It’s difficult to deal with the enemy unless it was aimed at the enemy’s carelessness or he was completely unprepared.

***

I stepped on the axle roughly. The huge wheel of Humvee (as Manager Kim said, the 10-person van is almost look like a Humvee) began to fiercely accelerate on the hill, rough ground.

“Raaaarff!” At the same time, Kelby began to disturb the enemy on the other side.
