Chapter 147: God Speed-Exceeding Level-Up ①
“Oops, although continuing my capture just like that is okay, before that, I have to check this too”
Muttering like that, I opened my status screen, and looked at the skills that I acquired yesterday.
—————
Perseverance Lv10: Endurance +2750
Adamantine Body Lv5: Endurance +50% (Consume 10 MP per second.)
Mental Strengthening Lv10: Mental Strength +2750
Indomitable Lv5: Mental strength +50% (Consume 10 MP per second.)
—————
These are skills that raised the value of mental strength and endurance. They’re like another version of [Gale] which is an upgraded version of [High-Speed Movement].
“I can’t always rely on Time Zero and Cladding Barrier after all.”
It is true that as long as I used Time Zero and Cladding Barrier, I could avoid the enemy’s attacks or negate certain damage. Compared to ordinary skills, these two are by far more superior. However, the fact that those two skills are powerful is also the problem.
“Time Zero can only be used inside a dungeon, and it has an intense MP consumption in the first place. If I used it too much, it could consume nearly 1,000 MP in a second. Thus, I should also have to get used to fighting without using this.”
Besides, battles don’t always take place only in dungeons. When monsters appeared on the surface, it wouldn’t be funny if I couldn’t do a thing. Therefore, I have to be prepared if such times come as well.
“When I can’t use Time Zero, naturally, I can use Cladding Barrier. That can nullify some damage but… there is a problem in that too.”
[Cladding Barrier] has a minute cooldown time to re-activate it. At first glance, it may not seem like a big deal, but when it comes to a high-level battle, the winner could be decided in less than a second. In the case the enemy’s attack is unavoidable and [Cladding Barrier] is destroyed, it would be risky if my body was attacked while waiting for the time for its re-activation.
For that reason, I acquired the skills that could raise the value of my endurance and mental strength. Truthfully, it would be the best if I could fight without ever using these two, but I decided to acquire it in case of emergency.
“Leaving aside the Cladding Barrier, it may be a good idea to challenge the High Ogre while sealing the usage of Time Zero, since I have memorized some of its patterns in the two previous battles.”
Now that it has been decided, it’s time to try it. As follows, I went to the 30th floor and fought the High Ogre for the third time. In terms of power, it was still considerably higher than me as usual, but when I calmly observed its movement, I found a considerable chance to attack. Then, by taking appropriate measures, I succeeded in inflicting damage little by little.
And about 3 minutes after the battle started, the corpse of the High Ogre was already rolling in front of me.
『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 1022』
『Dungeon capture reward – Level has increased by 100』
『Extra boss subjugation reward – Level has increased by 200』
“As usual, what a ridiculous amount of experience points…”
Thanks to the easy conditions for generating the extra boss, I could get 300 level-up rewards each capture. Furthermore, because the level of the High Ogre is considerably higher than me, the level-up I got from experience points also greatly exceeded.
Even the levels that could be raised with just one capture was something that ordinary adventurers desperately wanted. And I could get it as many times as I want in a day thanks to [Transfer Within Dungeon].
Once again, I realized the excellent-ness of this unique skill. The more I level up, and the more I enter dungeons that give excellent capture rewards, the more this skill shows its true value, making me able to raise my level several times faster than before.
And in the end after that, I captured the dungeon once again, causing my level to increase in a surprising amount in just one day.
『Level: 19438 →23413』
(Today’s level-up, 3975 level)
