Oooh! Looks like I also go the Titles anyways. Because we are all in a big party, those kills also seem to count for me at the end, I got all the three new Titles he got that aren't unique to his race, amazing. I even got some EXP out of it all, well, it is not near as enough to level up yet, I need millions of EXP after all.

Let's check them out alongside another Title I got earlier…

-----

[Calamity Kindergarten: Lv1]

A Title Skill only given to someone unique that has raised entities with enough power to be considered Calamities of the world. The more the user raises, the stronger it becomes alongside boosting such growing Calamities growth speed.

Increases the user's Stats by +1% every 10 levels a Calamity raised by them has gained. This is an invisible buff that cannot be shown in the Status. Does not affect Aether Stat.

Additionally, any Calamity class entity raised by the user will gain +25% more EXP and require -25% less EXP to level up. Stat growths will also increase according to the title skill level by +5% with each Skill Level.

Non-Calamity class allies receive only 1/3 of these bonuses, including the user.

Oooh, this must be the one that helping Root grow so fast as well! I learned it when I picked him up back in my Dungeon, I guess it is really shining brightly now that he's grinding EXP like crazy- But wait, doesn't this also affects everyone else too? So all of us are earning more EXP and now require less EXP to level up, that's pretty nice!

Looking at my status, the 10 million EXP requirement went down as well, I guess I might be able to level up with small fry, but I still need to kill thousands of them. I doubt there are so many monsters inside this dungeon…

Nonetheless, even Nyx is being boosted by this. She had been playing around by imitating my Shadow Threads into a net and catching fishes, and then killing them all instantly by sucking their souls out of their bodies and eating them happily. I think she has leveled up once or twice already.

Anyways, there are other Title Skills to check left.

-----

[Merciless Killer: Lv1]

A Title Skill only given to those that mercilessly kill their foes, always aiming at their weak points for a single lethal blow. A Title Skill often wielded by skilled Assassins.

Enhances Lethal Blow Damage by +50% and increases Stats by +5% while sneaking behind a foe to deal a Lethal Blow with each Skill Level. Additionally, Critical Hit Chance is increased by +5% with each Skill Level. If the user manages to kill a living being with a single Lethal Blow, EXP earned is multiplied by x2.

-----

[Fish Slayer: Lv1]

A Title only given to those who have slain a large amount of Fish-type Monsters mercilessly.

Increases Damage Against Fish-type Monsters by +25% with an additional +10% with each Skill Level.

-----

[Amphibian Slayer: Lv1]

A Title only given to those who have slain a large amount of Amphibian-type Monsters mercilessly.

Increases Damage Against Amphibian-type Monsters by +25% with an additional +10% with each Skill Level.

-----

Merciless Killer seems interesting, and it is yet another Skill increasing EXP earned. I guess the System by be trying to do something to compensate for the insane amounts I need to Level Up now! I wonder… Also, the two Slayer Skills seem pretty alright, more damage boost is always nice, especially for Root who's just starting, I can tell Nyx got the same skills as well.

"The fish seem to have finally calmed down?" Wondered Partner.

"There's no more coming out right now…" Emeraldine said. "Perhaps it is finally done?"

RUMBLE!

However, right before we could relax, the waters once more trembled, and from within, another hundred fishes emerged, furiously rushing towards us!

Wait, is this caused by Root's sweet aroma, by any chance?!

And these fishes were larger than the Arrow Fish, by three to four times as large! They were as big as two meters each, and held sharp spear ends at the tip of their heads.

"T-Those are Spear Fish!" Helga said.

"Spear Fish?!" I asked in surprise. "They're way stronger than the others… Root, watch out!"

"Gyuuuuh!"

Suddenly, a dozen of Spear Fishes rushed towards him, their spear heads were way sharper, easily piercing through his defenses!

CLAAASH!!!

"G-Gyyuuuhh…"

Root began to tremble as his body gained several cracks, he was impaled by a dozen of these fishes!

I quickly flew to help but out, generating barriers of darkness around Root to protect him.

"Root!"

I tried to heal his wounds, however, he quickly extended a branch towards me, as if trying to stop me.

"This much, I can handle it…! Gyu!"

The five Spear Fishes suck into his body were suddenly pierced by countless of sharp spear-tipped roots, as their life and mana was absorbed out of their still living bodies.

The fishes began falling one after the other from Root's body, as his body continued cracking, until it suddenly crumbled apart!

CRAAASSSSHH!

"ROOT!"
