Chapter 54: Chapter 54

After taking the [Death Potion] and getting significantly stronger, I focused on my training again.As for the development of the Territory, in the end, there's not much to do, I need a new territory in a place that I can build a [Quarry] and [Mining Company].

Without Stone and Metal, there's not much to do.

But until the Oasis is not all bad, the fertility of the land is pretty high, which gives a +25% Buff on the speed of crop growth.

Not to mention it produces Salt and Clay, something I wouldn't have in the forest by normal means.

In other words, each place will have different resources of its own importance.

But for now I only have 1 Territory and it is stagnating at the moment.

And well, to help me in my Martial Arts training, I started dueling against Lukaria, she is very strong and has a good control over her body.

She is much more flexible than I initially thought, which helped me a lot during the training.

Lukaria was quite happy to fight me, since I was not the only one progressing, Lukaria is very smart and certainly talented, in the end she is an Elite and has her reasons!

So I saw my [Fighting] Skill continue to rise in level, along with my Martial Arts!

And Lukaria was becoming more proficient and able to handle me in hand to hand combat, something she taught the other Lamias.

After 1 week, I noticed that most of them went up 2~4 Levels, showing that nutrition is very important.

Not to mention that these bastards level up very fast, and they didn't hunt, they just trained!

While they gain XP by training, I only gain by killing.

Unfair, but in the end I have control over my growth, they don't!

And well, after 1 week, Lukaria came to me, asking to hunt!

They need to get stronger, especially since they are now living on a full stomach, they can't relax!

I agreed to this, so I allowed them to hunt in groups, Lukaria being the leader of the hunt.

I didn't worry and just let them do their thing, because soon I stopped training and focused on exploring!

I even told Lukaria to keep an eye out for Treasure Chests and powerful monsters guarding them, she was to report back to me if she saw one.

...

After a few days, the progress was very visible on the Lamias, the weakest of the soldiers being Level 25, the strongest at Level 38!

Certainly this speed is good, but it doesn't compare to me when I hunted in Level 45 Dungeons.

But in the end, they hunt in groups and do not kill as many as 200 creatures a day.

In other words, they kill a lot less and several level up, I kill several times more and rise a few levels, but what an injustice!

But I don't think about it too much, it happens, I've gotten used to it.

And finally after so many days, Lukaria contacts me in a hurry telling me about a Treasure Chest!

Without hesitation I run to the place, where I see the creature defending the chest!

[Mortified Mutant Hyena (Elite) - Level 40]

[HP: 10,000 / 10,000] [MP: 3,600 / 3,600]

It's not that strong, Lukaria can handle it!

But I don't think too much, since he's so weak, I draw my Precision Rifle, then start shooting him, where in 6 accurate shots to his head, he falls dead and turns to dust!

Lukaria staying by my side the whole time, watching the situation unfold and being shocked at how I dealt with the creature.

Without much thought, I look at the Hyena's loot, nothing much, I collect it and go to the chest.

I open the chest and see 3 items inside.

[Great HP Potion: Heals 1,000 HP, Recovers 100 HP p/second, for 15 Seconds!]

Recovers 2,500 HP in 15 seconds, very nice, but this is not the first time I have found this potion.

I leave it in my inventory in an obvious and organized place in case of emergency.

[Vampire Necklace(Rare)]

A necklace made by a Vampire, contains his blood and insatiable hunger for blood!

5% Vampirism!

0/500 False HP!

This is something interesting, if I understand correctly, 5% of the damage I do will be converted into HP for me, recovering my wounds and so on.

If I am at full HP, I think this [0/500 False HP], will be filled.

So I will have my HP +500 if I fill this up using Vampirism.

It is very good, equipei!

The necklace has a very nice ruby, where its center seems to be a drop of blood.

I soon look at the last item, a page, pick it up and see the information.

[Page No. 8(????): Page containing special and ancient knowledge, gather 20 Pages, then the remaining lost ones will come together and form a book, the knowledge inside is still unknown to you!]

I read a little, it looks like something good, but I have to gather 20 Pages, it will take time!

I throw in the Inventory and look at Lukaria blinking beside it.

I think for a bit, pull out a Scimitar from my inventory and toss it to her, who is startled and catches the Scimitar in mid-air.

"That was from your old Matriarch, keep it for yourself, it's better than the one you own!" - I say nonchalantly, I already thought of handing it to her anyway.

Lukaria looks surprised, but thanks me.

Time passed, I continued practicing, hunting and exploring.

I found more Treasure Chests, killed more Elites, and by chance found a BOSS!

The BOSS was a [Dunes Worm, Child(BOSS) - Level 50], it was about 30 meters long and had over 100,000 HP!

I used half of the grenades I had, it had a really high defense, but in the end it didn't do any damage to me, since it wasn't as fast as me. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But what scares me, is the fact that it has [Child] in the name, it means that at this size, it's just a child, imagine the teenager and adult?

I ended up remembering the movie [Dune], but only vaguely.

The good thing is that after his death, he gave me a Legendary item, it was the only item that fell, but I loved it, since besides being my 1st Legendary Item, it is an item that I will use for the rest of this 2nd life, or would it be 3rd?

[Bandage of the Dunes(Legendary)]

Magical bandage made from the extremely tough and durable skin of a [Dunes Worm, Infant], descendant of the [Dunes Lords] and [Desert Gods], having the ability to cover the entire body, serving both as internal armor and to enhance your melee attacks!

+100% Physical Defense!

+80% Magic Defense!

+120% Unarmed Damage!

Cancels 10% of all Magic and Physical Damage below level 500!

Parts covered by the bandage acquire the [Metallic] property!

+300 Constitution!

+300 Wisdom!

+200 Strength!

+200 Agility!

+200 Intelligence!

Skills: [Bandage Control], [Sharpening Bandages] and [Bandage Prison]!

It's so wonderful!

This is actually an internal armor, which can replace my use of clothes, and I can wear them on top if I wish, let alone wear armor on top of the bandages and clothes!

I donned it the moment I got it, where I could choose which parts will not be protected, I chose my head to be unprotected, but otherwise a yellowish bandage covers me.

I feel the tremendous power that a single Legendary item gives me, not to mention that it negates 1/10 of all Physical or Magic Damage below Level 500!

Legendary items are very powerful, it's my 1st and it's perfect for me!

It is 100% sure that these bandages were made for martial artists, even more so because of the +100% Physical Defense, +80% Magic Defense and +120% Unarmed Damage!

That alone shows that it increases my unarmed power enormously!

Next we have the: Parts covered by the Bandage, acquire the property [Metallic]!

This closes a huge gap, something I would never do before because it hurts like hell, what is it? Punching a sword or kicking the point of a spear!

I can stop the weapon from moving forward, but it is my body, I will feel pain and take normal damage!

But this will make my body a real weapon, where I can hit it head-on using my hands and legs, to go head-on against blades!

Wow, I can't wait to unlock my [Chi], with these bandages, it will be so perfect high!

And now with these bandages, which I use almost all the time, I don't think there is anything else in the Dungeon from Level 1~50 that can challenge me.

Soon I will be at Level 100, so I will expand the Dungeon Level from 1~50 to 1~100, I need bigger challenges and rewards!
