Chapter 32: Item Drops
Slash! Splat!
With a simple slash, Henry was able to dismember the bear. Since it was just an unranked creature, with his prowess as a level 3 mutant warrior, this was something easy for him to deal with.
But, the bear wasn't the only apocalyptic creature that he was facing this time. Instead, it was a large group. But, due to the advantage of the area that they were in, having several buildings closely packed together, they were able to prevent all the monsters from charging forward at once.
For that reason, the number of monsters that they faced at a time was quite low. But, as Henry looked towards the side of the group that he had taken in, he found out that some of them had already been killed.
This was to be expected as the group didn't possess any weapon on them. But nonetheless, that was something that Henry didn't care about. So, he decided to focus on himself first.
Henry stood tall, his sword already unsheathed from the scabbard, as a large group of apocalyptic creatures lunged at him from all directions. The wind that had appeared from nowhere whipped through his hair, adding an air of intensity to the scene.
With a focused determination, he gripped his sword tightly and conjured the power of fire within him. Even though he was not going to start using the mage path at this moment, he was prepared to use them after all.
Even though it was true that he possessed only a single skill, the fireball, the destructive power that it possessed was enough to deal with a large group of monsters.
So, he had already began mobilizing the energy in his body, ready to summon the fireball at any moment.
As the apocalyptic creatures charged, Henry's instincts took over. With swift precision, he swung his sword, the blade effortlessly cutting through the air. The clash of metal filled the surroundings as he parried the sharp teeth and claws of his assailants.
Even though he was facing a large group of apocalyptic creatures at the same time, with his instincts fully activated, he was able to dance within the large group of monsters easily.
With each swing of his sword, he was able to reap a life of a monster. Blood had already begun spilling on the floor, as the bloody stench began spreading in the air.
As he tirelessly swung the sword around, he could feel that the energy in his body had already began building up. Even though it was true that there was a big level difference between him and the unranked creatures, they could still be utilized to recover the energy that he was using.
Harnessing the energy within, Henry unleashed a fireball spell that exploded forth, engulfing his enemies in a blazing inferno. Flames danced across the battlefield, illuminating the grim determination in his eyes. The heat radiating from the magical flames seemed to intensify his focus, guiding his strikes against the remaining animals.
With each swing of his sword and every burst of fire, Henry displayed a remarkable combination of magic, skills, agility, and raw power. Henry's mastery of combat allowed him to skillfully dismantle his adversaries one by one.
The number of bodies that were piling around him had already began forming a small hill. But even so, none of that hindered his movements at all. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
With the skills that he had gotten from the system, it wasn't just a matter of using a sword in his hand. But, it consisted of the movements that he was supposed to make during attacks.
As for the other group, even though they were holding on, they were barely doing so. Not possessing any incredible weapon or armor, they had already suffered several injuries.
The number that was previously over 20 had already been reduced to only about 17. Each and every person that was left had already chosen a profession.
As they fought, they gritted their teeth as they tried to persevere. Some of them had already suffered wounds that were so deep that even their bones could be seen.
But even so, they continued fighting. They themselves could already feel that, they were getting stronger. That feeling was so addictive, that they were not willing to stop.
But of course, the main reason why they were fighting so desperately was simply because, they had already seen their fellows dying under the claws of the monsters.
For that reason, since they didn't want to have the same fate, then they had to fight. They didn't want to depend on Henry and Adam to save them. They could already see that those people didn't care about what they did.
Even though they were anxious, if they wanted to get back at Henry and Adam, they would have to get past the monster tide first.
After about 10 minutes, several people began leveling up. From level 1 to level two, and there was even one of them that had a managed to reach level 3.
With the increase in strength, they had thought that they were going to be able to easily handle the monsters in front of them. But, they were wrong.
As they fought, they continuously felt that the strength of the monsters that they were facing was increasing. Even though it was at a slow pace, they might finally come into contact with monsters that would at times evade their attacks.
This had drastically increased the challenge they were facing. But, it was also during this period that something incredible happened.
After one of them managed to kill a lion, it was enveloped by a bright light and disappeared. In its place, there was an iron sword.
Even though the youth was stunned by the scene, he hurriedly picked up the sword and began using it to attack. With the weapon in his hand, he found that it had become easy for him to deal with the monsters.
That was not the only thing that had dropped. Instead, as they continued fighting, knives, bows, spears, great swords, scrolls, and many other things began dropping.
Had it not been for the fact that these youths had their hands filled up with the monsters that were continuously attacking them, they would have definitely tried inspecting these things well.
But, they had no choice but to continue fighting. They could only look at these things after they were done with fighting.
Henry had also noticed this. His expression turned strange. He couldn't help but wonder, 'Why is all of this turning into something like a game?'
