Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Naturally, killing it normally would be a pain in the ass. But that was okay since, in the end, this was nothing but an elite monster that he could instantly kill if hit at the right angle. Though, it's a bit stronger than the two I just killed, and it's definitely not going to be easy, Rael thought, amused. Amused for the sole fact that despite this monster being strong, there were weak spots he could exploit. On the cave's ceiling, there were countless stalactites, and if even one of them landed directly on the wolf, it would inflict a fatal blow. Therefore, Rael got moving, and while the wolf still eyed him as though he were food, he ran into its range and unleashed a few skills. [MP -127,500 144,100/271,600 (x5 Fractured Prism)] They were there just to act as a distraction and they dealt a fair amount of damage, but… -166,365! (5x Fractured Prism) They weren't even critical hits, as the wolf merely cushioned the attacks with gusts of wind and shattered the shards before they could explode. But that was fine, as the only thing Rael wanted to do was draw its aggro toward him. Also, it was about time he used a skill he had been holding back on. The Storm Wolf opened its mouth, and in an instant, Rael could see thunder gathering. However, he didn't panic, as he had just the fix for this. Stealing was surprisingly cheap, but if he were to do that, then he would have no more money remaining to level up later. Therefore, he chose the first option. In the very next instant, the thunder that had been gathering in the Storm Wolf's mouth dissipated, leaving it confused. Rael decided to use that confusion by sending the next five shards directly at its balls. -261,990! Critical Hit! (5x Fractured Prism) Sucks to have balls, don't it? Rael snickered inwardly as he glanced above. There was a stalactite right above the whimpering wolf, and by merely aiming his staff upward, he shot out a fireball directly at it. [MP -800 143,300/271,600 (x1 Fireball)] It made contact with the very top of the stalactite, and it immediately crumbled down, its sharp edge heading straight for the wolf's backside. However, despite worrying about its balls, the wolf managed to dash forward. But of course, it didn't dodge the attack fully, as it was now pinned by its tail, unable to move in the slightest. Surprisingly, the wolf tried shrinking itself to normal size in order to escape, but that didn't do much. And soon, the explosions rang out. -90,445! Critical Hit! (5x Fractured Prism)

—Ball Destroyer: 5→10% increased damage when attacking the testicles of an enemy.

Rael sighed, ignoring that for now, as he focused on the wolf, which had no way of escaping and whose balls were destroyed.

Another round of shards shot out, perfectly piercing its normal-sized eyes.

-250,685! Critical Hit! (5x Fractured Prism)

Now, he did feel a little hungry, therefore, he began blasting the wolf with only a couple of cheeky fireballs.

[MP -53,600 89,700/271,600 (x67 Fireball)]

The massive fireballs came flying out of his hand one by one, and each of them impacted the wolf's skin, until eventually, the first round of damage was finished.

-599,421! Critical Hit! (58x Fireball)

-44,998! (x9 Fireball)

Despite the damage seeming low, the wolf's skin was literally melted, as the shards inside its eyes began glowing brighter.

Almost as if they absorbed the energy from the fireballs.

Soon, the biggest explosion Rael had seen by far happened, making him skid backward.

[HP -5,664! 104,236/109,900]

[HP -500! 103,736/109,900]

Bruh. Rael grumbled as he began rolling on the ground.

No point buying an extinguisher when the only thing on fire were his clothes.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to fight the wolf.

But as the dust faded, only then did he glance to the side, where a massive chunk of damage was displayed.

-2,231,086! Instant Kill! (5x Fractured Prism/Fireball)

—Storm Wolf (Vice-General Class Elite) [Level 60] Killed! Experience: +102,056>

<+51,028 Trell Acquired>

<+1600 Trell Bonus>

That was much easier than I thought... Rael thought as he stretched his back and turned toward his experience bar.

Rael took a deep breath as he opened the conversion interface.

His trembling fingers moved toward "Yes," and he immediately pressed it.

Level: 49 → 50

For a moment, nothing happened, and Rael honestly thought nothing would.

But soon...

"Temporarily forfeit? I won't lose out on any first-time bullshit, will I?" Rael asked, and just as he thought, the system definitely heard him.

He nodded in confirmation and decided to delay it.

There was the envoy he had to deal with, and he wasn't sure how long this quest would take.

"I'll postpone it. Give me my rewards," Rael said out loud, and after a few seconds, several columns of system messages appeared, each detailing the new changes.

To his surprise, they were even better than he thought.

Huh?
