Chapter 24: Bonus

Phoenix: (Those bones are immune to my fire because of my own blood, which the old dragon stole and integrated into his bones, which then broke a little and fell off and fused with many races until some lucky people were born with them.

Basically, they're just fake bones but there's still the power of my blood hidden in those bones so my fire power doesn't subconsciously attack them.

The main factor is actually just because your control is still lacking due to the lack of your Intelligence Attribute. You should be able to attack those bones with my fire if your Intelligence Attribute exceeds 35.

For the time being, there is no solution. However, my fire doesn't just attack the physical. It can attack the soul and no soul is immune from my fire. @Oliver, since the monster has no flesh anymore, if you observe it now, you should find a hidden beam of light. Attack that and the monster will definitely die.)

Phoenix explained everything in detail. It seemed that she didn't want her fire reputation to deteriorate because of the appearance of those bones which were actually mini versions of the bones of the Primordial Azure Dragon.

After reading all that, Oliver made observations of the monster again.

As it turned out, there really was a small beam of light hidden in its chest, almost invisible because the gaps between the arrangement of its bones were too small.

'I understand now.'

Primordial Azure Dragon: (Hahaha, if it's me you're facing, I'm afraid there's no chance for you to attack my soul. @Oliver, if you kill that monster in one attack, you will gain a skill from me, a skill that makes you possess my bones. Give me permission to watch over you...)

The dragon spoke, but it was unclear who he meant had no chance of attacking his soul as he did not mention anyone's name. Was it him in case he fought him or Phoenix?

What was interesting to him was the gift from him.

When it came to the notice that he wanted to keep an eye on him, he didn't mind accepting it. That did not matter either.

If he obtained the dragon's real bones, his defense power would probably become unparalleled.

'Just one attack,' he thought with narrowed eyes as he strategized.

Fortunately he had a great advantage with his water skill. Quickly, he came up with one strategy that he thought was very good.

After thinking about it, he jumped into his own water.

In there he didn't even need to swim. He could make the water move his body at high speed.

However, he made the area around his right palm waterless.

At the same time, he released flames and gathered them there.

He would insert the flames into the crevices of the monster's bones.

Shua!

He moved quickly in the water and the monster looked at him expectantly. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It seemed to be happy to know that he had decided on a direct fight.

In no time, he arrived in front of it.

Without hesitation, he placed his right palm on the monster's chest while its both hands tried to attack him.

Of course, it wasn't easy as its movements became extremely slow with layer upon layer of water blocking it.

On the other hand, his palm reached its chest in just an instant.

His eyes became extremely focused as he controlled his flames to enter the crevices of his bones.

That turned out to be a little difficult as those crevices were protected by a very strong layer of energy.

He would not be able to penetrate it with ordinary fire.

Fortunately, Phoenix's fire was powerful.

In no time at all, that layer of energy was eventually burnt to ashes.

Whoosh!

Without control, the flame entered the monster's body, attacking the beam of light that was its soul.

It just so happened that the monster's two hands almost slammed into his body. However, it suddenly trembled.

"Ahhhhh..." A loud scream echoed from its mouth.

It was apparently still able to make sounds despite having no body but bones. Perhaps it was its bones that were making the sound.

DING!

(You have killed a Level 7 Dragozilla General!)

(You get 25 EXP. You advance to Level 5. You get 50 Points that you can use to raise your stats, which you are free to choose.)

(You gain 100 EXP. You advance to Level 6. You get 60 Points that you can use to raise your stats, which you are free to choose.)

(You gain 13 EXP.)

DING!

(Because you managed to kill a Level 7 monster general of the physical strength type single-handedly with your level 4, you gain 20 Points for Physical, Strength, and Defense!)

"What?"

Oliver was very surprised by the last notification because of the ridiculous increase, which instantly made each of those attributes change to 31 from the original 11.

Because of that, they became higher than any other attribute except the Mana attribute.

BANG!

When he dispelled the water, the Monster General's body fell while its bones separated from each other.

However, something then came out of it.

It was a shadowy figure with the exact same shape as his monster form, an 8-meter-tall Dragozilla wearing armor made from an array of bones.

Oliver kept activating the skill of the Underworld Lord when killing the monster because he thought it was very strong.

After that, a ball of light appeared above the corpse.

It was dropping an item.

In this kind of situation, he first thought about the stats, of course.

'It might be better if I even out the stats of all my attributes,' he thought.

He chose this method not without reason because he would practically have skills from different attributes, not just skills that required Mana specifically.

Since attribute improvement wasn't only by leveling up, he didn't have to worry so much about evenly distributing all his attributes making his average attribute lower than people with only a few attributes to focus on.

The important thing was that he had to level up by defeating at least General Monsters, ignoring regular monsters. That way, he would continue to earn extra points.

In addition, his strong skills made the skills he released still stronger even with fewer attributes.

There were now 110 Stat Points in his possession.

He immediately began to divide, but because calculating them was too complicated, he was unable to completely distribute them evenly. To be sure, he gave each attribute a point.

DING!

Overall, there were 170 Points that he increased. 110 from leveling up and 60 from the reward of killing the Monster General.

When his stats changed, he immediately felt a drastic change in his physique.

His body remained small, but he felt like a giant where the world seemed to become a little smaller from his perspective.
