Chapter 20

Muhyuk’s hands are busy.

He grabbed the Skeleton’s bones and pulled them out.

[Skeleton Warrior 1’s health decreases.]

[Due to the influence of Dexterity, a decrease of 0.07 occurs.]

Afterward, he inserted the Goblin Warrior’s bones into that spot.

[Skeleton Warrior 1’s Strength increases.]

[Due to the influence of Dexterity, an increase of 0.23 occurs.]

Currently, the Dexterity stat is 34.

It’s the period when the correction value is applied as 3.

Thanks to that, in a situation where 0.1 should have decreased, only 0.07 decreased due to the correction of Dexterity, and in a situation where 0.2 should have increased, 0.23 increased due to the correction.

[Skeleton Warrior 1’s Strength decreases.]

[Due to the influence of Dexterity, a decrease of 0.17 occurs.]

[Skeleton’s Strength increases.]

[Due to the influence of Dexterity, an increase of 0.08 occurs.]

Even when failing, the risk became lower.

Originally, a loss of 0.15 should have occurred, but thanks to Dexterity, only a loss of 0.09 was incurred.

Of course, raising Dexterity will become very difficult in the future.

It can’t be increased with items either.

Only when learning a skill related to Dexterity or when the level of that skill increases.

If not, the only way is to obtain and solve a special quest.

What about learning other auxiliary skills?

That’s also difficult.

For example, tailoring skills. It is also related to Dexterity, but broadly speaking, it is included in crafting, so even if you learn it, there is no additional increase in Dexterity.

What about raising the skill level?

Even if you do that, Dexterity will not increase until the tailoring skill surpasses the crafting skill.

In other words, learning it is not very meaningful.

There are still artistic fields left.

It was a problem that needed more consideration.

He organized his thoughts and continued assembling bones.

The bones of the Goblin Warrior and Orc that he hunted with the NPCs were more helpful than expected.

The result of focusing for over an hour appeared before his eyes.

(Skeleton Warrior 1)

Level: 15

HP: 560

MP: 315

Strength: 12

Agility: 10

Stamina: 14

Knowledge: 7

Wisdom: 7

Bonus Stats: 0

(Skeleton Warrior 2)

Level: 15

HP: 595

MP: 315

Strength: 11

Agility: 10

Stamina: 15

Knowledge: 7

Wisdom: 7

Bonus Stats: 0

Skeleton Warrior 1 had 1 Strength and 2 Stamina increased, and Warrior 2 had only 3 Stamina increased.

Currently, Muhyuk’s Strength stat is 27.

The exact Strength stat of the Skeleton, which received an additional 30 percent from here, can be seen as 11.4.

Since 0.6 was empty, he was able to easily increase one stat thanks to raising it.

Muhyuk’s Stamina stat was 16, and if you add 30 percent of that, the exact Stamina stat becomes 10.8.

In other words, he was able to increase Stamina by 2 and 3 because he only needed to raise 0.2 to add 1 stat.

Of course, the characteristic of the Goblin Warrior’s bones being Stamina also played a part.

The remaining stats also increased vaguely, but there was no change because they had not yet reached the level to increase by 1.

The other Skeletons were put on hold due to a lack of bones.

Muhyuk, who was looking at it with satisfaction, placed his hand on Skeleton Warrior 1.

When he stayed still, a message appeared.

[Do you want to change the name?]

[Yes/No]

He selected Yes.

[Please name it.]

Naming them Golgol1 or Golgol2 is confusing.

A distinction between Warrior and Archer was needed.

Hmm.

The deliberation was short.

“Sword Bone 1.”

What’s the next order?

Of course, it was Sword Bone 2, Sword Bone 3, Sword Bone 4.

He also changed the Archer’s name.

“Bow Bone 1, Bow Bone 2.”

It was a childish name that anyone could hear, but Muhyuk himself nodded several times as if he was quite satisfied.

Good, very good.

But are the summoned Skeletons not satisfied?

Kilik, kiririk…….

They were emitting their unique sound mournfully.

The target was immediately decided.

Level 32 Steel Ant.

If he hunts it, he can level up to 30 quickly.

He also knows the weakness.

He decided to go to the smithy later.

Now was the time to hunt.

He headed to the nearby market and bought food ingredients. It was essential to endure long hunts.

Afterward, he used the auction house system.

It was to check the current prices of the items he had listed and whether there were any good items.

[Cold Iron Sword]

Attack Power 16

Strength +1

Durability 60/60

[Auction]

[Starting Price: 10 Gold]

[Current Bid Price: 27 Gold]

[Remaining Time: 3 hours 28 minutes 11 seconds]

The Cold Iron Sword and the Vigorous Iron Sword were already exceeding 25 Gold because they increased Strength.

The Light Iron Sword was a little over 20 Gold because it increased Agility.

The effect of the Agility stat increases exponentially as it accumulates.

But in reality, Strength or Stamina were better to feel immediately in that spot.

Still, it’s a good price.

The three swords seemed to be sold at a considerable price.

He was satisfied enough.

Now, next is…….

It was time to check the Poison of Hallucination and the Poison of Slowing.

“Heo…….”

An exclamation naturally came out.

The price of the sword?

Of course, it was good, but the Poison of Hallucination and the Poison of Slowing gave him even greater pleasure.

[Poison of Hallucination (x10)]

A newly created poison with special additives included in the mixture of Molly, Creas, and Vir. Illusions are seen when it touches the body, and continuous damage is inflicted. However, it is not applied when a certain amount of HP decreases.

[Auction]

[Starting Price: 20 Silver (x10)]

[Current Bid Price: 78 Silver (x10)]

[Remaining Time: 4 hours 5 minutes 47 seconds]

Poison of Hallucination is 78 Silver.

Poison of Slowing was a whopping 95 Silver.

How many times the business is it?

He checked the remaining two items.

He made 100 of each, used 5, and listed 10 on the auction house.

Currently, 85 remained.

I have to use it too.

He decided to leave 35 and list 55 more.

The time was set to 6 hours.

The starting price was set at 80 Silver.

Then I have to go now.

He turned off the auction house system and headed to the Warp Gate.

“Where shall I take you?”

“Arsen Kingdom.”

He returned to the place where he first started.

He immediately left the east gate.

The middle point between the Orc settlement and the Steel Ant colony.

He arrived at the Lizardman lair.

How far did he go?

Kuluk, kuruluk!

He ran into a Lizardman head-on, who was hidden by a tree.

Muhyuk and the Lizardman were both startled.

Pabat.

He hurriedly distanced himself.

He calmed his excitement and summoned the Skeletons.

“Skeleton Warrior Summon. Skeleton Archer Summon.”

Six Skeletons appeared.

Position.

Kiririk!

The Skeletons vigorously bumped their jaws and took their positions.

Sword Bone forward. Shield mode.

The four Sword Bones stepped forward and held out their shields.

The two Bow Bones took their places behind them and suddenly pulled out their ribs. Then he put it on the bowstring.

Bow Bone 1, 2. Arrow attack.

The two Bow Bones, who had been still, released the bowstrings.

The Bone Arrows cut through the air and hit the Lizardman’s chest and abdomen.

Kuweooo!

The guy screamed and charged.

Sword Bone 1, 2 forward.

Two Sword Bones move.

Defend with shields.

They blocked the Lizardman’s spear, which was charging and stabbing, with their shields.

The remaining two Sword Bones aimed for that gap and stretched out their swords.

Attack again.

Muhyuk commanded with his thoughts, and the Skeletons followed his simple commands well.

As the damage steadily accumulated, the Lizardman’s entire body was dyed silver.

Kuweooo!

But it was still a level 27 monster.

It didn’t die easily.

The destructive power emanating from the body, which was even larger than an Orc, was definitely difficult for the Skeletons to withstand.

Around the third time they defended with their shields, Sword Bone 1 could not withstand the impact and was pushed back greatly.

Several bone fragments scattered in all directions, but it was not reverse summoned.

He immediately got up and rushed back to the Lizardman.

Now that it has come to this, he decided to give up Sword Bone 1 and inflict more damage.

After all, the angry Lizardman was only looking at Sword Bone 1 and rushing at it.

Concentrated attack.

Two arrows flew into the Lizardman’s torso, which was trampling on Sword Bone 1.

Following that, three swords were embedded in the guy’s thigh and side.

The Lizardman, who kicked Sword Bone 1 away, writhed in pain.

Then, Sword Bone 3 was hit by a blind spear wielded by the Lizardman, and one of his right arms became unusable.

However, Sword Bone 3, who could not feel pain, abandoned the shield in his left hand, picked up the sword that had fallen on the ground, and swung it forward again.

Sword Bone 2, 4 to the back.

Bow Bone Rapid Fire.

Sword Bone 2, 4 defense mode.

Approach the Lizardman in that state.

Sword Bone 4 moves behind Sword Bone 2.

Sword Bone 4 attack.

The movement continued not badly.

Thanks to that, the wounded Lizardman’s movement became a little awkward.

Muhyuk, who thought he had seized the opportunity, continued to order attacks.

Around the time Sword Bone 2, 3, and 4 were almost destroyed by the Lizardman’s rough movements.

[You gain experience.]

Finally, the guy fell.

He dealt with a level 27 Lizardman with only Skeletons.

Without using Poison of Hallucination or Poison of Slowing. And quite smoothly.

Smiling with satisfaction, he approached the Lizardman and performed corpse decomposition.

He was able to acquire unique giant bones and tough leather.

[End corpse decomposition.]

He turned his head and looked at the Sword Bones, which had become wrecks.

If I participate in the battle?

It seemed that even two Lizardmen could be hunted.

Although the level was only 20, he could feel that he was definitely superior to other users of the same level.

Reverse summon.

But it’s still not enough.

The gap with the Ranker was still severe.

Not to mention the level difference of over 30.

In addition, the top Rankers in the top 100 would already know about the existence of the Dungeon even if they did not belong to a guild.

Perhaps they have cleared it more than once.

Twice, three times is also possible.

Muhyuk felt the need to hurry a little more.

First of all, from level 30.

He moved forward again.

Towards the Steel Ant colony.
