Chapter 21: New Record!

Chapter 21: New Record!

Seems like I cant immediately feel the difference.

Opening and closing his palm, Damian wondered about the effect of the two points that he had just spent.

Considering this was his lowest stat, he thought that power-up would be apparent but that didnt seem to be the case. He only felt slightly more energized.

It makes sense.

Unlike Strength which specifically represented muscle strength, Constitution was a much more versatile Stat. Not only did it correlate to stamina and vitality, but it also represented some fringe abilities like endurance and resistance.

Unless Damian had actually been as tired as he was before passing out, feeling the effect of increased stamina was almost impossible, the same could be said even more about the other abilities.

The sturdiness of a character could only be measured by challenging it, and there was plenty of that to come in this unexpected Labyrinth

Despite everything, Damian convinced himself of his choice the more he thought about it. Using limited Stat Points to raise the lowest Stat might have seemed like a waste, but that didnt apply to every character.

Just by looking at Iris initial Status Window, one could see that her Constitutions growth was the worst. Lower Stats were only easier to raise when all Stats had the same growth rate!

Not to mention that Damian was in dire need of prolonged stamina, natural increase wasnt even a viable option. A low Constitution Stat was the first barrier that one needed to overcome before undergoing Stat Increase training.

This wasnt just how things worked in the game, even in the month when Damian went to the gym, he learned that he first needed to build up stamina and endurance before he could properly build his muscles.

Just like that revelation made Damian give up in reality, he wasnt going to corner himself for a month in this dangerous Labyrinth just to start training.

If this barrier could be overcome by just spending these 2 points, then it was more than worth it!

This is pretty much necessary.

Damian didnt think he would change this choice even with a few more retries.

While he had the opportunity to customize Stats for tens of characters in Fates Guide, nothing could compare to living in the characters body.

Damian was basically aware of his biggest shortcoming by default! The choice not only suited his considerations for the future but also immediate practicality!

Time for harvest.

With his thoughts in order, Damian looked down at the Hobgoblin who had collapsed in a kneeling stance.

Since its head had already exploded, accessing the heart from above sounded easier to Damian.

Just perfect.

[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP +1 ]

Before any reaction could be made, Damian went for the obligatory severed head attack, courtesy of Iris Aura.

He then took out a poisoned knife and stabbed it into the second Goblins stomach before running to the other end of the Den.

Shik!

The neck was obviously a better option, but the few extra seconds required for that would have invalidated Damians hit-and-run tactic.

Although a knife in the guts didnt incapacitate the Goblin, it slowed it down as the remaining two Goblins chased Damian.

Back to a 1v2 situation, Damian initiated his already-proven tackle attack and manually severed the third Goblins head all while avoiding the fourths attacks. In the end

[ You have defeated ]

The fourth Goblin earned Damians second Aura slash.

[ You have defeated ]

The slow second Goblin ended up catching up in the end, but all that got him was Damians second tackle.

[ You have defeated a Goblin. FP +1 ]

Although there was one less Goblin, this was definitely a new Den-clearing record for Damian!

{No one is hiding!}

After receiving Iris all-clear signal, Damian only took a quick glance around him to ascertain that there was no longer any danger. This time was really different!

Not only was he not completely out of breath, but he was also

Huh?

Before Damian could reach the end of his delighted thought, he noticed something on the last Goblin that he had just dealt with.

How?

A broken wristwatch was somehow hanging around the dead monsters wrist.
