Demon King
Chapter 56 Breakthrough 3F [4]

How many rare monsters have we fought in that short period of time?

There was no time to count them casually. Lee Chan-yu's body became bloody and healed repeatedly, and for the first time, I felt my Advanced Surprise skill was limited. The only hope was that there was still room for growth in the Fairy Tale skill.

However, as the name implies, the higher number of rare species is very small compared to ordinary species or higher. There were only hundreds of rare monsters, and their size made them difficult to gather, so there weren't many monsters that we had to deal with at once.

However, unlike the other monsters we have seen in 2F and 3F, rare monsters show no hostility to each other. They are different from the monsters we have encountered so far. They seemed to be cooperating with other monsters! From now on, we have to fight monsters on the grounds.

Dealing with three to four high-class rare species at one time was extremely difficult, but at the same time, it was a great experience.

As I learned their various skills and techniques, I slowly became accustomed and felt myself developing my responses.

[Predation after hunting high level rare species in Black Palace 3F 500/500]

The search requirements are met even before the pocket watch clock hand spins once. After half a round, there is only one monster left within my Detection range.

It was a gorilla covered in light blue hair. It roared and hit the floor. White frost formed around it, visible through the black fog.

“Quo oh oh oh!”

His fist was the size of a pot, and every time it touched the floor, a huge ice spear rose from the ground randomly within his reach. An unexpected and deadly attack!

Surprise and Fairy tales are useless against this. He attacked everything within his reach mercilessly. He was the most fearsome among the high-level species I encountered here.

“Chit!”

I first strengthened my defense by making full use of the Stone Skin, a skill gained by eating one of the monsters. However, the drawback was that my movements were slower when using Stone Skin.

It was the only way not to die from the spear.

“Quick!”

However, as I approached her slowly with a whip in my hand, Lee Chan-yu suddenly jumped high, ignoring the danger of being pierced by an ice spear.

It happened in the blink of an eye. It was impossible for him to think about it if his regeneration level was not above the Advanced level.

It really happened in the blink of an eye. It is impossible to dream if there is no regeneration above the advanced level.

Kohohohohoh!

Captain, now!

The gorilla let out a terrifying chill that could freeze an opponent just by being nearby, and Lee Chan-yu, who was leaping towards him recklessly, had his lower body frozen in no time. Moreover, two sharp ice spears pierced through his body as he exposed himself in the air.

I don't mean to waste the opportunity Lee Chan-yu got. I immediately took off the Stone Skin, awakened the Surprise and Fairy Tale, and sped towards the gorilla.

I made full use of Leap and Beast Charge to increase my speed. The Shadow Step skill obtained from a rare high-level shadow monster was added to it.

It made my movements more stealthy and faster. If the level of the Shadow Step skill increased, it would be a perfect weapon.

The gorilla, who was eyeing the fallen Lee Chan-yu and his hand raised to the sky, roared without noticing me right under his huge chest.

I felt a terrible chill as I approached her, but my higher tolerance level prevented it from becoming difficult.

Just before the gorilla returned to its position with its front legs on the ground, I jumped while maintaining Surprise and Fairy Tales. I put all my strength on the Blood Shadow sword.

Blood Flame, Black Lightning, Power Attack, Speed Attack .. If the power distribution failed even slightly, the blade would not be able to pick it up and spread all the energy, so it was not as easy as it seemed.

I threw the sword with all my strength at the gorilla's neck. There was no way for him to dodge my attack! In an instant, the Blood Flames with the power of the Intermediate Flame Magic melted the frost he was emitting, and Black Lightning burned his skin.

“Quo oh oh oh!”

“Haaa!”

The next moment, Blood Shadow pierced through his neck. However, the cold air radiating from him became even more intense, as if he used up all the remaining energy!

I immediately unleashed his sword, landed on the ground, and jumped back.

Then, it collapsed with a loud noise.

Somehow, we succeeded.

[You gained 72,171 experiences.]

[You earned 86 silver.]

[Starter Speed Attack became Lv 10 and evolved into Low Speed Attack. The time required to activate this skill was further reduced, and the attack speed increased.]

[You obtained the Frozen Armor.]

[You obtained the key to the 3F boss room in Black Palace District 7]

I looked at my hands covered in frost. That was what happened as soon as I released that flaming sword. Abnormal Resistance and Regeneration worked harmoniously, but I could not help but be afraid.

If I am affected by gorilla ice, what about Lee Chan-yu?

“Are you alive?”

“Entah how.”

Lee Chan-yu responded as he took out a second ice spear from his body. He was used to the pain and had excellent self-healing abilities, but his face wrinkled in pain as he finally pulled out his spear.

“Your advanced skills are truly outstanding, Captain.”

“The same applies to your regenerative power.”

“It comes with a werewolf body, but your body .. you are trained to develop your skills to the Advanced level.”

It does. It would not be possible for just anyone to produce an attack as strong as I did on a gorilla. Quiet and fast movements; one punch that could finish off enemies. It was probably due to my Advanced skills.

Attacking skills, magic skills, secondary skills that complement each other for more intense attacks. The synergistic effect was not just using two or three skills at once. It cannot be explained by numbers.

However, there are two problems with the use of skills simultaneously.

The first problem is that it is difficult to learn two similar skills or two skills that have opposite traits.

It is not easy for someone who has mastered Power Attack to learn Speed Attack.

It wasn't easy for someone who had mastered Leap to learn Beast Rush.

This applies equally to gun control. A swordsman can have a hard time learning archery; a fire magician will have a hard time learning water magic.

Then, the weapon technique expert would have difficulty learning magic skills.

The second problem is simpler. There was a high cost to using multiple skills at the same time. It requires a lot of mana, and in cases like Power Attack and Speed Attack, it depletes stamina as well. It is quite difficult to have many skills and it is more difficult to use them at the same time.

“Do you get the key, Captain?”

“Iya.”

I checked the inventory to make sure. The boss's room key is there. Moreover, there was a Frozen Armor obtained from the gorilla.

There are also shining armored composite coils.

That was the perfect time, I thought, as I pulled Blood Shadow from the gorilla's neck.

Captain, are you going to eat that ice gorilla?

“Of course.”

“You're crazy.”

I ate a gorilla on the spot, hoping to learn the ice spear technique, but was disappointed. I just have to settle for studying the Beginner Ice Magic.

Soon, the time comes. There are no monsters left. Boss battles are waiting for us. There will be no reason to delay what is inevitable.

But before that, I used a composite armour scroll.

[Select the main armor, the five sacrifice armor, and the material. Up to 15 materials can be selected.]

[Sign of Armor:]

[Iron Blood Armor]

[Ezelic Legging]

[Conscious Skin Protector]

[Shadow Protectors]

[Wolf Vest]

[Frozen Armor]

[Material list]

[Memorata Pelcadia (Red)]

[Pelcadia Gem (Blue)]

[Trickster Eye]

[Wolf Man Jane]

[Steel Armored Bear Captain's Skin]

[Black Wood Skin]

[Shadow Spear.].

A scroll that combines six protectors into one?

Originally, I thought it was a unique armour scroll, level after Rare, but now …

I remember Rain telling me about the scarcity rank order. Rare, Unique, then Ancient, Legend, and Epic. Could this be a Legend scroll? No, I received the Legend scroll in 2F. It will become ancient.

“What is it? Composite reels? ”

“Good.”

Without hesitation, I chose the Blood Iron Armor as my main armor. Everything else will be a sacrifice.

I did not expect that the Ezelic Leggings, which were not the protectors of the whole body, would be considered as the protectors of sacrifice. After all, all the sacrificial armor I had was Rare or Unique, so I was happy with the result.

I can choose up to fifteen ingredients. I chose all the best ingredients, except the Pelcadia Gem, and threw them into the synthesis vortex.

Scammer's Eye. Black crustacean. As I put in the ingredients one by one, Lee Chan-yu watched quietly with a strange expression.

Ever since I had Lee Chan-yu, the burden I suffered in 3F has definitely diminished. He was brave and took the initiative to become my tank during the monster attack. The defense of the Blood Iron Armor was almost meaningless against monsters in 3F, but thanks to the help of Lee Chan-yu and my own Surprise and Fairy Tale skills, I was able to survive without any difficulty.

But I can't be satisfied with that. An emergency can happen at any time.

It became clear when we fought the Ice Gorilla. Had Lee Chan-yu not moved quickly, I might have been pierced by an ice spear by now.

If I had good equipment, it would be possible to charge without hesitation without worrying about getting injured or paralyzed.

After a while, light spewed out from the vortex. Then, slowly, the product was revealed, covered in a deep red energy.

Kain?!

I felt blood rush to my face when I saw the product. I must have chosen my main armor to be the Blood Iron Armor, which was made of mail plates!

But what appears now is undeniably made of fabric. The main armor is made of mail plates, but the end product is fabric? I get nervous when I take it and try it.

Not the size of the problem. It fits me automatically. The same thing happened to the Blood Iron Armor, which I used since I became a Hop Goblin, and until now I was a Bugbear.

However, the problem is the fact that the finished product is actually made of fabric.

It was shiny, but the material was definitely made of woven thread with a dark red thread, like blood. It was a simple and practical garment that was tightly attached to my body.

I don't think it looks good to me. There's nothing special in it. Instead, it was even difficult to check my clothes as it absorbed the light around me…

It absorbs the light around me.

I realized that absorbing light was not something ordinary clothes could do.

I hurriedly checked the information about the clothes I was wearing.

[Baptism of Blood (580/580) – Defense 650. Rarity Ancient's. These clothes absorb light, so that others find it difficult to recognize these clothes and the wearer. It absorbs blood, restores endurance, and grows. Increase movement speed by 30%.]

The armored composite roll definitely does its job.

Ahead of the boss fight on the 3rd floor, I got an Ancient-grade armor that, according to Lee Chan-yu, ‘a thousand people had to die to get it’.
