Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 014: Kuro's
Ayumi again touched the skill book she had read earlier, and as she read for the second time, it emitted a white light that was bright enough to make her close her eyes. When he opened his eyes slowly, all the books disappeared and in front of him appeared an interface screen that told him that all the skills had been learned.
To buy their own skills or abilities must be players who have reached level 50, and therefore those who are below that level but want to have additional skills, must ask to be bought, and therefore those who are below that level, or buy from another player.
The skills purchased must also be interconnected with the Job owned, can not just buy at will, like Archer who bought the Back Stab of Assassin.
Natan himself continued to obtain the Passive Skill that he had allowed to improve by himself, and he only increased the skill that he had always used and needed.

Natan smiled smugly looking at the interface screen that displayed his current strength stats. Without realizing it, there had been a lot of increases from each action he took, and this made his spirit to continue to raise the level even stronger.
The skills purchased for him alone were only two, Shooting Range and Back Stab. For other skills he got when trying to flow the Mananya, or take actions that trigger the creation of new skills. From the purchase at the NPC Shop, he also obtained explosives that could be used instead of hand grenades.
"I'd love to change my Job Mage, because it doesn't match my fighting style with long-range weapons or swords." Nathan shifted the interface screen to close it.
"Have you improved all your stats?" Natan turned her head to look at Ayumi who was touching the interface screen.
Ayumi shifted the interface screen, then turned to the right. "Already! Ayu raises STR, VIT, AGI, INT and a little for Luck, so Ayu gets a little lucky." He smiled brightly as he ended his speech.
Natan smiled warmly, then again asked, "Have you obtained any information after improving Magic Knowledge?"
Ayumi nodded her head excitedly. "Already! Ayu gained knowledge of the Fire Ball Skill! Ayu can create a fireball as big as a fist, and it gets bigger as the level increases."
Natan nodded her head, then turned her face and focused on the road ahead. He also continued to hold Ayumi's right hand so as not to separate, even though there was no one here but the two of them.
By the way, the weapons that Natan had brought before had been reassembled as before, when he had not yet entered the Military Base. Sniper hanging on his back, black sword hanging behind his waist horizontally, gun on both thighs, and spear in his right hand.
He is sometimes confused with his Job which is only one that is in accordance with his current situation, namely Archer. He had a Job Assassin, but instead chose to use a sword and spear instead of a dagger.
The two continued walking, either on paved roads or jumping on overturned cars, and sometimes met with monsters that numbered only a dozen. Which all the monsters were given to Ayumi to level up.
The material was like Wolf Taring or his skin, Goblin Eyes, there was even Zombie Meat.
Of course they took the dropped item, but not with the disgusting Zombie Meat.
The two continue to hunt in turn, until Ayumi has reached level 30, but both have not utilized Team features. That's because the difference in the levels of the two is too high, so the income from Point Exp is uneven.
On the two-kilometer journey, they had yet to find any other living humans. There were only wandering monsters and corpses lying around, as well as overturned cars the closer they got to the city center.
When the Sun is already above the head, indicates it has entered the middle of the day. Finally, the two of them decided to rest inside the empty house.
"Ayumi, can you really cook wolf meat?" Nathan handed over the wolf meat wrapped in lotus leaves.
Ayumi gave a small nod with a bright smile engraved on her sweet face. "No idea, but there's no harm in trying. Ayu has also learned a lot about cooking, and this meat has the same fiber as cows. We can't be voters under these circumstances either." He opened the leaves that wrapped the flesh.
Natan smiled thinly, and gently rubbed the top of Ayumi's head. He did not expect Ayumi to be so mature after a long time without seeing each other.
Ayumi gave a small laugh as her head was rubbed by Natan, then she started preparing a simple meal of wolf meat. It cuts it in the form of dice, and is seasoned with salt, lemon juice, coriander, grated ginger and turmeric.
Then it is burned on coals and smeared with a mixture of other spices, such as sesame oil, sweet soy sauce, and garlic grind.
Ayumi smeared it thinly to keep it feeling good, and not too greasy or too sweet because of the soy sauce.
Natan who was waiting for Ayumi to finish was standing behind the window, she observed the situation outside with a long-range firearm in both hands.
[Kuro will Complete his Evolution stage]
[10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... 6 ... 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1]
The shadow under Nathan's feet began to twitch and move to his left, forming a fairly large four-legged animal, with a height around his chest.
As the burning fire-like shadow disappeared, it appeared to be its true form.
"Black Panther?!" Natan couldn't help but sound her voice when she saw the information about Kuro. "But why does your head look like a lion? Your face is still as soft as it used to be." He touched Kuro's face with both hands.
Ayumi turned her head back. "Who are you talking to?—" He stood suddenly in the position of the horses ready to attack Kuro, carrying a sharp knife in his hand.
Nathan pointed his left hand towards Ayumi. "Wait on! He's our friend, he's the black cat I live in, and now it's done evolving after waiting a whole day."
Ayumi was still in position for a while, then lowered her knife and returned to pick up the skewer meat.
Kuro runs away from Natan and approaches Ayumi, eating most of the cooked skewer meat.
Natan who saw that was a little surprised, but tried to remain calm and take out the mountainous Monster Core. "Kuro, eat this to raise your level."
Kuro went back to where Natan was and swallowed all of the Monster Core without chewing it first, making his body undergo a slow, yet definite change.
The first thing that grows is a sharp fang that comes from the upper jaw, then the feathers of the legs, tail and neck turned red orange like the color of fire. His level also increased to level 50, and gained some skills like Shadow Binding, which cast shadows from under his feet to bind targets.
Natan continued to observe Kuro's changes, and was surprised to see Kuro's seemingly familiar movements. Kuro is seen operating the interface screen. He also saw the statistical changes of Kuro's.
"Do you understand how to operate the interface system?"
Kuro nodded his head many times, then jumped crashing at Natan.
Natan catches Kuro and hugs him. If he hadn't added VIT, maybe he wouldn't have been able to contain Kuro and lost a lot of blood. "Alright, let's eat first, after that we go back to continue the journey."
The three began eating food cooked by Ayumi, as well as eating instant food that was still a lot and enough to be eaten for eight months for the three of them.
After replenishing the power, Natan and Ayumi continue the journey by riding Kuro, by walking through the roof of the building or jumping over a large car.
"Waaah! It's fun!" Ayumi screams in joy as Kuro jumps from one building to another.
Natan smiled warmly at the delighted Ayumi. But then he turned his face and shot every monster he met.
