The Archangel of Death - Chapter 167

167: Level 300 167: Level 300 Chapter 167 [You have killed a lycan (A) x6] [You have obtained 600,000 EXP] [You have obtained 6,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 6 crystals of agility (2)] [You have killed a lycan (A+)] [You have obtained 1,000,000 EXP] [You have obtained 1,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 1 crystal of agility (5)] [You have leveled up] [You are now level 284] [EXP 157,600340,000] Usually, I would have been very happy given the number of monsters at my disposal.

There were at least three hundred of them here and that was just considering the ones in front of me.

There might be deeper into the forest and there was still the boss who should be an S- rank given the current logic unless it is a growth-type dungeon like the ant dungeon back at the tournament that raised the rank of the shapeshifter as well.

But it was highly unlikely because that was planted by someone, this one seemed to be natural.

I would say two dungeons in a row was far from natural but I was sure I didn’t sense any hanky phanky.

This was as natural as natural could get, I only hope this discovery of mine makes this any easier.

There was no way I would be able to kill three hundred mutts on my own.

No matter how strong my gear was or what potions, armor, or anything I used, I was sure I wouldn’t be able to kill these guys by myself or at once.

For now, thanks to the pepper bombs, their sense of smell is disturbed, otherwise, anything from the family of dogs has a pretty good nose and these guys would have been able to trace me.

All I needed to do was to wait for them to disperse and then attack them one by one.

Of course, wolves hunt in packs so even if this herd dispersed, they would still be in groups so I needed to watch out for them.

===== As I expected, a group of lycans separated from the main pack and began to search in the eastern area.

Another two packs left for the south and southeastern areas.

Just like that, after an hour, the group dispersed.

There were a lot of them so I decided to follow the ones with the lowest numbers of lycans.

I also didn’t hold back on MP because their defense was low so why not take full advantage of that?

And also because I couldn’t let them howl and attract the army over again.

Only one problem remained, my smell.

There was no item in the shop that I could use for such a matter.

Of course, there were things that erased my presence to some extent but making me stealthy and erasing my smell were two different things.

As expected, just as I entered the range of about seventeen meters, the lycans noticed me, and the largest of them ignored me and began to howl.

‘Shit.’ I cursed as I rained the magic cannons worth all of my MP on them.

They all died under such rain but once again I felt the ground shake in the distance.

I didn’t wait another minute and left without storing the bodies of the monsters.

I barely got out of the range of the lycans and climbed up a tree.

Thank goodness that the battle ended and I received EXP for that.

[You have killed a lycan (A) x7] [You have obtained 700,000 EXP] [You have obtained 7,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 7 crystals of agility (2)] [You have killed a lycan (A+)] [You have obtained 2,000,000 EXP] [You have obtained 2,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 2 crystals of agility (5)] [You have leveled up] [You are now level 291] [EXP 267,600410,000] I was getting a very good supply of EXP and it only made me happier.

And I was growing along with it so I decided to save the crystals I was getting.

These agility crystals weren’t limited to me so I could give them to Rose, the fastest in my group.

The ones I obtained from normal lycans of A rank would increase my agility by 2 and the ones I obtained from the bigger ones increased my agility by 5.

It would have been my wet dream if I could have obtained them earlier but I didn’t really need them right now.

Soon enough, I would retain my original strength.

It was better to give these to the people who were not fast or were too fast and there was nothing making them a little bit faster.

Though the ones I obtain from the boss of this dungeon would definitely go to me.

Like I said, there was nothing wrong with being more agile.

The pack dispersed again after chowing down the ones that were dead.

They were hungry so it made sense that they resorted to cannibalism.

As the group thinned down once again, I started to kill them one by one once again.

Unfortunately, every time the lycans managed to send out a signal, attracting all the others to one spot but their numbers had begun to thin down one by one.

Of course, the time I wasted was too much as well because I would have to wait for them to disperse every time.

One thing was sure, I wasn’t making it to the tournament.

It looked like the second prince was a lucky bastard.

===== [You have killed a lycan (A) x14] [You have obtained 1,400,000 EXP] [You have obtained 14,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 14 crystals of agility (2)] [You have killed a lycan (A+) x3] [You have obtained 3,000,000 EXP] [You have obtained 3,000,000 coins] [You have obtained 3 crystals of agility (5)] [You have leveled up] [You are now level 300] [EXP 527,6001,000,000] Finally, I reached 300 after a day’s work.

It was a bummer seeing the EXP bar not resetting but given the pattern, it will only reset after I reach level 400.

Another thing was that I didn’t seem to have spotted any restrictions about not receiving EXP from B rank monsters so it was actually a good thing but that was also the pattern for D and C rank monsters so I decided not to get my hopes up.

Anyway, that wasn’t the highlight of the day though.

I finally reached the three hundred level to unlock more of my authorities.

I only hoped the authority of Phoenix was among the ones I needed because that was the one I needed the most in my current condition.

I couldn’t just rely on potions, I needed stronger regenerative powers than I already had. Granted that once my current regeneration skill reached full capacity, it would be way stronger than Phoenix’s regeneration, but right now, it was active, not passive.

I needed something that didn’t consume MP and regenerated my HP for free.

[You are now level 300] [You have left the ranks of weaklings and entered the ranks of the slightly stronger] [You have been granted the skill ‘Merge’] [You have been granted 200 APs] [You can now choose authorities] [Please choose three of the authorities below] [Authority of Fire: Monarch of flame] [Authority of Phoenix: The blessing of rebirth] [Authority of Earth: The Pangea] [Authority of truth: The Blind Hero] [Authority of deception: Power of reality] [Authority of Will: The unbreakable wall] I was given six authorities to choose from once again.

I was hoping for more but this much was enough as well.

First of all, I chose the authority of the Phoenix because that was what I needed the most.

[You have chosen the ‘Authority of Phoenix’] [You possess a skill related to regeneration] [The skill’s nature would be changed to ‘Passive’ from ‘Active’] [You can now fly] [Flying will consume MP by 100 every minute] [The speed of flying is irrelevant to the cost] I couldn’t be more happier by all of this.

The first thing I needed was the regeneration skill but it only enhanced my previous one.

Made sense though since receiving an inferior skill when I already had a superior skill didn’t make any sense.

The flying was just a bonus along with it.

Granted it consumed MP but it was good, the speed at which I could fly depended on my control and my control was pretty good so I could go as fast as a bullet train or as slow as a snail or even remain completely still in the air.

So in this way, the fixed cost was better than the confusion of MP consumption according to the speed.

Moving on, I chose the next authority, the authority of will.

It was basically my will to endure.

It was a defense-related authority and I suspected the skill I would get from it would also enhance my END.

I only hoped it would give me a lot of buff because that was what I needed the most right now.

The reason for my hastiness was simple, I entered this on Thursday night.

It was already a day in here so it was Friday night.

For that, I needed strong defense so that I could endure the hits of the lycans because avoiding and fighting them like this wasn’t working out for me.

It would take too long that way.

[You have chosen the ‘Authority of Will’] [END permanently increased by 300] I waited a few minutes after this one but nothing, I didn’t obtain anything more out of this but this much was enough as well.

Like I said, I needed END and permanent END was better than temporary END no matter how high it was.

Finally, I chose the last one, the authority of fire.

Given that I needed defense, I wanted to choose the authority of Pangea, the mother Earth but I needed more than one destructive skill in my arsenal.

Just ‘Magic cannon’ wasn’t cutting it.

Not to mention that due to my blood, I was compatible with fire as much as I was compatible with life and death.

It’s another story and I didn’t want to think too much about it due to the lack of time.

[You have chosen the ‘Authority of fire’] [Essence of the Celestial dragon has been granted] After the notification, a bead of crimson-red color appeared before me, floating in the air.

It remained in the air, waiting for me to grab it which I did.

I extended my hand and grabbed the marble-sized bead.

It was warm to the touch and gave off a pleasant feeling.

Of course, that was only because of my blood, if anyone else touched it, they would be scorched right at the spot.

Unless it was some dragon-kin of course.

Without hesitation, I brought the bead closer to my mouth, and without hesitation, I swallowed it.

It melted as soon as it passed my throat and warm energy coursed throughout me.

The energy to burn worlds was simply giving me a warm and pleasant feeling.

It was great what one’s blood could do.

The procedure lasted a while.

My muscles rearranged themselves, my height grew and I could also feel a few changes to myself but I didn’t have a mirror to confirm so I left it for later.

All I knew the Hartmann’s suit I was currently wearing was a bit tight and small now.

[You have absorbed the essence of the Celestial fire] [You have become immune to any hot temperatures] [Your skin won’t even melt under heavy heat] [No kind of fire would have any effect on you] [You give off the smell of a celestial dragon] [You have obtained the ‘Dragon breath’] [Dragon breath (Unconfirmed)] [Description: A generic skill of the dragons and since you possess the blood of the guardian of the dragon king, the Dragon Knight, it only makes sense that you possess a skill of the dragon race to prove your presence to them] [Effect: Release fire energy of heat wave from your mouth.

Different types of fires have different effects] [Cost: Depends on the user’s stamina] [Additional information: The stronger the user’s INT, the stronger the effect] “…..Wow.”
