Chapter 56 9 - Defeating Dungeon By Myself! (1)

After defeating the dungeon ten times and spending my whole day here, I gained thousands of goblins and ten goblin bosses with thousands of cores and tens of skills but they are all F to E ranks.

I got one or two skills suitable for me.

[Berserk]

-Rank: E

-When cast all the stats of the caster will increase by 2 times and will feel more anger and rage towards the enemy

-Needs some mana to activate and lasts for 1 minute

[Energy Defense]

-Rank: E

-Creates a barrier of mana around the caster

-Takes mana to activate and lasts until it is broken

-Can only block F-rank attacks or E-rank attacks at most

'These are goods.'

After that, like yesterday, I sold my cores, earned some thousands of dollars, and have more than one thousand cores as spares. I am thinking of consuming them but consuming many cores at once isn't that good.

So, I am putting them off for now. And I am not putting those cores in my wristwatch storage but the stomach of my summons.

And I went to the hotel, order some monster meat, and looked at my status.

[Alan]

-LifeForce: (38)

-Strength: (31)

-Mana: (30)

-Stamina: (47)

[Skill(s): [(Necromancy - Skill Set (+)], (Fireball), (Appraisal), (Magic Arrows), (Heal), (Berserk), (Energy Defense) ]

And with that, today's event come to halt. And I get to sleep peacefully on a fluffy and smooth bed.

'I like this life!'

I thought as I dream of swimming in money. But if this goes on, I won't have anything to do. My life will be boring, and too much money or too much laziness isn't that good. Life will be just.. uneventful.

So because of that...

Here I am today.

At the F-rank dungeon, I beat several times. But that was thanks to my summons hard work, and my laziness. But today...

Best

"I will defeat this myself!"

I announced, as my voice reverberated around the walls.

"Let's do it!"

I clench my fist and wield my sword. I bought this sword today for fifty thousand dollars.

[Sword]

-Created with monster bone and small mana stones

-Can enhance its cut when putting mana into the mana stone

-Rank: D (But can only be used on Rank E or lower monster)

I was agonizing over what to use when going inside the dungeon. Since I don't want to use my summons and they are my weapons, I didn't have anything on me to use as a weapon except my kitchen knife.

So, I went to the equipment shop and wasted 200 thousand dollars on my whole equipment.

[Equipment Set]

-Consist of Full body armor

-Can protect against Rank E or lower-level monster

-Rank: E (Can protect against Rank E monster)

[Mage Gloves]

-Increase mana stats by 2

-Enhance the magic attack

With that, I am full set. I am both a swordsman and a magician. But swords are only when I have to fight one monster.

I can't just charge at a group of monsters with my crappy sword skill... can I? And I don't have any swords skill and I don't want to equip that, since they consume more mana than a magic skill.

And mana is scarce.

'If only I had infinite mana then...'

I would have to work much harder and waste more time in the dungeon... Since I had to kill many monsters and... that would have consumed much amount of time, since my summons can kill them in mere seconds. Not one.. but hundreds of monsters in a group isn't even a threat.

But today, I have to forget about those luxuries and use my powers for once. I can't always rely on my summons.

But said that... I have never even hurt a monster, so... how can I kill them?

Shake! Shake!

I shook my head and step deeper inside the dungeon where I got welcomed by one pack of wolves, i.e five wolves.

They gritted their teeth and made an angry noise. They walked towards me, and as they were about to jump at me...

"Fireball!"

Boom!

I cast the fire and one wolf got burned, but that was not enough to kill it and only injured a bit.

I raise my hand...

"Fireball! Magic Arrows!"

Boom! Shnk! Puk!

My fireball may be small but with magic arrows, it became deadly. Not that much but... my fireball burnt some piece of meat from the monster and my arrows pierced those wounds, killing them instantly.

Huff!

Just killing some monsters made me tired, physically and mentally.

And with that being said, this was just the beginning.

I let out a dry smile and rush inside the dungeon until I noticed I was being chased by 10 wolves in rows.

Swoosh!

I boost my speed a bit, jumped on the wall, and with little parkour, I made it into the back of the wolves. The wolves just stared at the open space and turned back, and still, there was no one.

Puk! Shnk! Shnk!

But from dark spots, I shoot magic arrows and started killing the wolves. Maybe I am afraid of attacking head-on, but I am strongest in dark!

By the way, I am not that strong even in dark, but I can console myself by not being scared. I mean, I have the dignity of a man, how can I be scared of facing monsters, but I am not a warrior so, using these cowardly techniques isn't that bad.... right?

'Who am I even asking to?!'

I slap my forehead, as ten more wolves joined my army but instead of following me, they all went directly to my monster storage.

And so on, my journey to conquering this dungeon began!

The rest of the journey was boring. I defeated monsters, and hide from hunters and groups of monsters that are too much for me to handle.

And with some hardship, I reached the boss floor.

"No matter how much I see it, it never gets old."

I mumble and opened the door that led me inside the spacious room. At first, because of my summons, I didn't think this room was that big, but now since there is nobody except me and the boss, I am amazed.

The size of the room is larger than a triple-room apartment. Anyway, since I am alone this time, it will be a little hard to defeat the boss.

The boss wolf stare at me and without any warning jumped at me. I dodge but I was a little off balance because of the wind, and the dust that blew right inside my eye.

Tears dropped, and opening my eyes became harder. My eyes burned and I ran around the room without knowing what the wolf is doing.

But after a minute, my eyes came back and I can see the scratch of nails around the walls.

'Whew! Thank god, I ran or else...'

I can't even imagine how many pieces of meat I would have become.

Rawr!!

The wolf gritted its teeth and frowned its eyes. It again jumped at me and swipe his claws to cut me. But this time, I took out my sword and...

Clank!

I blocked its attack and manage to hold off with my strength. The wolf jumped back and walked around me, finding the right moment to attack me.

"Fireball!"

As I cast, fireballs came to my palm, but that wasn't enough, I let the fireball float around me using some of my mana and generated more fireballs.

And after a minute, the wolf's eyes widen, and its body trembles. It tried to run, but it was late. Twenty fireballs floated around my back and rotated.

I raise my hand and...

"Fire!"

The fireballs all went straight at the wolf with great speed, faster than a bullet. And...

Boom! Boom!

I felt my body being exhausted, but I wasn't that tired.

In front of me was the pile of meat, that is burnt. But the smell is tasty, but what can I do? The whole piece of meat scattered around the room was a little disgusting.

My fireball killed the wolf, not only that but the wolf blasted and its whole organ got scattered around the room. The sight was way too disgusting, but I didn't have to endure much since the meat disappeared.

'What?!'

My eyes widen.

'I guess... This thing couldn't be summoned.'

I wonder while exiting the dungeon.

'This much for today!'

I am tired, I didn't know hunting alone was this tiresome. My muscles are strained, and my whole body aches. It is even hard to move, and I can't just summon my wolf to carry me.

I call a taxi and return to the hotel. I have little money, so I don't have to sell anything today. And...

'I have tons of skills left. Should I sell them or keep them?"

... Well, I will sell them tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, I enter the room.

"Welcome... F-rank Hunter... Alan!"

"Wha-"

My tired eyes widen. A man with photos in his hands and documents on the table sat on a chair with his legs up. His face was serious and cold. His aura was sharp, and his energy was pressuring me.

This pressure is even more than the boss of the Rank E dungeon.

But somehow, I manage to stand, but my legs are still trembling, and my heart is beating so hard that it can leap out at any moment.
