chapter 019

I am in deep shit. From heels till ears. Reason? First – I am a disgrace as fire mage. My spells are greatly restricted. Without a chant they do almost nothing (except explosive one), and the chant…  well it take long, way too long to be useful in real battle (maybe during wars it could be used as artillery) but… IT ALSO MAKE IT TOO POWERFUL! I am in bloody cave (hehe, it’s bloody literally… crap, poor joke)! Have you ever seen someone using explosives in caves? No? you want to know why? Because they never lived long enough to tell about it to anyone else!

And another reason – there are undeads here. If you could pick a weapon to fight with undeads, what would it be? Axes? Sure! Hammers? Oh, hell yeah! Swords? Would be enough!

And now, why would you use them, and no daggers or bows? For those deals stabbing type damage! And stabs are used to bleed enemy out or to pierce through organs of your target. And here we have that asshole. No bleeding, nor working organs. So here we are. My magic is weak and weapons useless. Sebastian… Walter… we will have a small talk. We will see how fast can your grown your feather back after I will pull off every one of them.

Kaito was jumping forward and backward repetitively to annoy undead as much as possible, while ravens were aiming for most valuable place – its eyes. Oh Sebastian managed to completely destroy one if its eye. He looked like he didn’t even notice it missing. Damned pain resistance!

-         Boys! Step aside!

As only they give me some place I fired an arrow. The tip of it was glowing in orange flames pulsating all the way of its flight.  With one eye nonfunctional it was hard for him to react on time. Oh, he did dodged… partly. What fun it would be if he would die in one go? The arrow hit its leg. Upon contact the explosion was triggered and it (the leg, not arrow) was blew in all direction. So this is one way  to paint this whole cave… what the hell? Dude.. you do know you don’t have leg?

You are fucking kidding me. he was still supporting his body like nothing happened! He rushed in my direction. He was fast! I have no idea how some undead without one leg can be fast! It not normal! You asshole! Stop cheating! I dropped bow and pulled dagger. Kaito was at his tail, as he wanted to stop his charge. Crap. No point in running now, he is still faster. Wait for him to attack… then react… I hate it. I hate to wait for someone’s move! As he was 2 meters from he jumped. So…  he look to be brainless and controlled by most primal aggression. I ducked under him, rolled and raised as fast as I could.

Not fast enough he pinned me to the ground. The ETREMELY fast in its description was not a joke! Oh god! The smell from his maw! What did you eat?! Wait, I don’t want to know!

I guarded my face with hands, this time I didn’t put it into his mouth.  With one hand I was pushing it away and with other I buried dagger in its neck. Oh he didn’t care. The only thing that occurred was, that now some yellowish-greenish-shittish (yes Kandoral, I know the last word does not exist :P) liquid was all over my face. Oh crap! Was it the substance that replaced its blood? No! I didn’t ask! Don’t answer me!

Kaito jump again moving beast away from me. HOW DO I KILL IT?! So bro, we will cut you bit by bit, till you won’t be able to move any longer. Now he was pinned by Kaito, as he was biting its neck and holding at the ground restricting movements. This abomination is fast, but looks like it has no much strength. His weight seem to be reduced too, as most of his insides were missing.

I cut off remaining legs. Now, how will you move now, bitch!?

-         Kaito, step aside. Listen to me, pretty boy, I would gladly gut you alive… but first – you have no guts, second – you are not alive, and finally – you are still biting . this is why we will roast you. It gives me no joy… fuck, I am lying. I will love to burn you, but as I am shitty with it, it will take some time… so tell? Are you in hurry, or do you… hehe… have some place to go?

No reaction, he was still glaring at me with hunger in eyes… pardon me, eye… crap… I do really enjoy tormenting this pal… it would be more funny if he could react… kay

I set wolfie-chan on fire

-         I seeeet fiiireee to the rain… Waatched it pour as..

You have slain [Shade Wolf Abomination level 19]You have obtained 28 exp + 5exp + 28 dungeon exp boost

-         OH COME ONE! So fast?! I didn’t even start the song! Stupid shitty shit wolf. Aaaand now, Sebastian, Walter… I wanted to do it later… but can I ask you two to come a bit closer to me? I only want to talk… YOU FUCKING BIRD BRAINS! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THIS SHIT-HOLE?! I mean.. honestly! You better pray to the devils bellow, for gods will definitely not protect you from me!

I am to soft for them, I scratch them, I pet them… DAMN! I even cook for them! Yes I do. Yes they don’t need to eat, and one more time – yes, even as they eat for fun they can it meat raw. But they looked so adorable as they ate meat I cooked for them! And now… those meanies… snif, they hurt my feelings. First Ruby, now those two… fuck. Okay. Screw this. I will become a hermit. A grumpy one. If someone would ever  visit me I would scream: “WHO DARE TO WALK UPON MY LAND! LEAVE ME ALONE” and shout the door. But I would be a genius potion maker, and 100 of those would come to me to study, and I would put them to some cruel testes, and…. Why the fuck am I “anding” (same situation like with shittish word…put your pitchfork aside) such story?! Who want to be a hermit?! Please… help me… I am losing my mind here… I just want to cuddle… sniff… ( I really want to cuddle :C <- author). And I want a friends too! Some that would not look at you as on some monster, nor throw you to dungeon of sure death!

I will get off of this dungeon, go to Aira place, drink some tea, burry in skin and go to sleep while cuddling. I have already enough if all this shit.

Kay. I am going forward. And I don’t care if you would be some kind of devil or dragon, if you cross a path between me and my cuddles and tea I will rip you apart!

But… it’s dark here, and if I keep just spamming those orb of fire I will just attract more monsters… and it’s getting late… and… oh, is it a core?

You have found [Lesser-Low Monster Core]This Core belonged to abomination wolf-type monster found in Dungeon [Wolf King]

Once shiny, but now corrupted by evil turned purple

Contains Elements: [Earth], [Chaos], [Death], [Blood]

… maaaybe I will NOT  eat it? This whole corruption and stuff sounds cool… ups? Did I drop it? oh, and completely by accident burrow it under the ground? What a shameful and clumsy person I am!!! okay, maybe we should…. Camp here? Oh I don’t like this idea either. But first all this march through the forest, then some hunting and now I have met my first undead. Sebastian and Gilbert has a Night Vision skill, so it’s not like I will have completely no idea if something would be creeping in my direction.

I ate some food from bag (always carry some with you, guyz – you never know when you can find some wild dungeon full of undeads, so always stay prepare!) then I turned lights out (yes fire orb) and while pushing my backs on dungeon wall I turned on my meditation. Both to relax a little and start creating cores. It’s better to have them, and never use them, then to not have them and be in deep shit when the time of Shitocalipsa comes.

You entered [Meditation State]Your mental attributes will rise now

Your mana recovery will rise now

Creating [Monster Core] in process. Current progress: 0.02%

Tsh, it will take some time. I doubt that I can finish it in one go. I didn’t even knew when the tiredness hit me. I have no idea when I felt asleep.

I woke up with my body stiff and in pain. Meditations turned itself off as I was no conscious… yeah, that would be broken if I could just grow them as I sleep. What’s my progress then?  47.9%? something about it. I have stayed few hours in the end… there are three factor that are responsible for speed of my monster core creation.

1.      The number of already possessed cores

2.      The level of Meditation

3.      The quality of core. Now I can create only lesser. It will change with meditation as well

You have learned [Night Vision] skillNight VisionLevel 1Allows user to see better in dark places.

This skill has merged with [Predatory]

Hmm, oh no, it’s not like I can see all clearly now… it’s just not as bad as it used to be.

So, before we march on, let’s check our possessions! Two shitty ravens that wants to kill their master? CHECK! One wonderful doggie, that actually is useful and protects his owner? CHECK! Bow and dagger? CHECK! Arrows? 11 – check!... why 11? Oh, you didn’t perhaps thought, that after casting explosive magic on it and blowing wolf’s leg away it would stay intact? This is also a reason, why I don’t want to fight with undeads.

Okay boys! Move on! We walked into some abandoned chamber, there was nothing interesting here… but something changed and it was not letting me to stay calm… what’s wrong?!

We walked to the next roo… Ow, bloody fuck. It was not a room… the dungeon just got new meaning… I mean… have you watched all those Lords of the Rings movies? Oh, I bet you do, you bunch of nerds, then you should know how Dwarven castles where build. Cover it all in vines, add a shitload of wolfs everywhere… oh and walking human corpses… and you have what I have seen. It’s huge! There was a lots of some… well calling those bridges would be an exaggeration. Just some passages hanging in midair, and if you would look below, you could see many of those going deeper, deeper and deeper. Let’s just say that if you would fall, you would have plenty of time to re-think your life… like 20 times before you would die.

I headed to the entrance to the other room there was nothing and no one here too… if there is no…

-         H…Help me… - I jumped terrified. How the… oh, I thought it was some kind of sculpture covered in vines. But it was a person cov… connected to vines. Literally, they were entering his body. Wait… I think I know this men… - W..witchboy? is that you?

-         Yes, it’s me. Who are you?

-         I am one of the hunter…Greg… t..they told me… That I shouldn’t.. enter the forest… Please… kill me..

-         I will help you, but definitely not kill you! Tell me better how can I release you from those vines…

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

-         Ha..boy, I am already dead. Those… things… are only supporting me from collapsing. Thehe…

Now, I have just noticed… he… he is no longer human… his teeth are sharp… his nails longer and he has some fur clumps in different places of his skin, what the…

-         T..this is a Wolf King Dungeon… The Wolf King is a Dungeon itself. I am connected with it… I see what it is… he was… a druid… long time ago… ugh, it’s no longer important… he lost his mind… he think that wolfs are mightiest creatures of world… but they lack… aggression… he tempt them inside… and corrupt them… and I know how powerful his minions are… you have no chance… maybe, if you turn around now, you will manage to run… maybe… but please… kill me… burn me…

-         Just tell me where this motherfucker is...

-         I am dead you fool! He… he is done with wolfs as they are now… he want to… empower them… the most wonderful hunters… the one that can take form of humans… but as he don’t want to sacrifice wolfs… he first tried to turn me in a wolf… and I am a failure. I am dead, my organs aren’t working… but he kept transforming me… it’s so.. so painful… even if you would kill him now… I would just simply die… but I can’t wait any longer… just please… have mercy boy…

IT’S FUCKED UP! I will not kill a human! I will not…

-         Please boy… - he was crying… fuck…

His body and veins caught a fire. The smell of burning flash filled my nose… DAMN! SHIT! FUCK!

-         T..thank you… - YOU ARE NOT HELPING WITH THIS “THANK YOU” YOU IDIOT!

Fuck… FUCK! This fucking dungeon… I will fucking burry it under the ground!

You have slain [Human] level 6You have obtained 60 exp + 5 exp + 60 dungeon exp boost

SHUT THE FUCK UP! I had no other way! I could kill him or let him suffer! I know the pain that makes you ask for death! But still! I am not sad. I am angry.

Growling could be heard from around a corner.

Mad Black Wolf level 14HP: 192/200Higher form of Shade Wolf. Because of spirits influence it lost its mind turning into blood lusting creature

This monster forsake its agility for pure raw power to rip preys apart

Right on time. I just really need to distress myself. Familiars rushed at it and gave me time to aim… but my arrow flew before they reached a monster. I shoot almost without aiming at all. This also the reason why arrow instead of head hit it’s back. Almost no damage… who care. It ignored ravens, pushed Kaito aside, and charged at me. once again drop the bow and pick dagger… but I do intend to feed you with something else. Just come closer you fucker.

Do you know other attack pattern, then just jumping like mad?! Whatever. I didn’t move. Just stab its belly and lifted is as much as I could.  Oh, boy. I wanted to use it for so long, I was just afraid of side effects. It pinned me. I burrowed hand under it neck and spit words

-         Mana Shock Wave… Motherfucker… - 50 mana was channeled. I felt burning sensation traveled from my heart, through  arm and hand all the way to fingertips. And in very next moment its head was blew away.

Thanks for info! I couldn’t say it, if not your help! This monster also contained a core… I have no willingness to appraise it. Oh, how do I know there was a core? I was so pissed off that I ordered Kaito to eat this fucker. Core and bones were left.

With my right hand I pulled out Recovery potion I have no idea how much time it will take to cure it, but I have no other way, as I can’t put my fingers back to their place… yes yes, I cannot set them back… I mean I can… but it hurts like a bitch, so I won’t. Am I a pussy? You called me a pussy? Go dislocate your fingers and them put them back by yourself! I am not a Steven Seagal to take away 20 bullets from my stomach, then pull katana and kill solo remaining 50 enemies.

I drank potion in one go…. YEAH YEAH RECOVERY 320% UP! WE KNOW!... now… let’s kill few more birds with one stone… natural healing magic on, meditation on…

Now… recovery magic improves effects of potions, and meditations improves effects of magic… meditation will also improve my mp rate so I can go longer… and make core in same time…

My fingers started to itch… it’s a bit uncomfortable… I really want to scratch them… and this not nice heat sensation… SNAP! One of fingers went back on its position. NOT NICE FEELING! I want to move it… guh… don’t wait for me guyz, it will take some time.

I am back guyz. All fingers are back were they should be… but I have 97% of monster core progress so I will wait a little bit longer… in the end there is something I want to do… Can you give me 10-15 minutes more? Thx pals.

You have succeed while creating [Lesser Monster Core]This is smallest possible to create jewel.

It was made by [Divine Chimera], so it can store much more mana then others cores

It is very valuable and lots of Magic Associations may pay fortune for it.

It will allow user to store DNA of monster he eats. Please take a note that most of DNA is located in brain, heart, bone marrow, liver and monster cores

Great. Sweet. Now… I grabbed monster core of Mad Wolf… they are all small… just enough to swallow… GULP

You have consumed [Lesser-Low Monster Core] of Wolf-kinDo you want to absorb this monster traits?

Just change me into those fuckers already

You have absorbed Wolf-Kin TraitsAs it's you first monster eaten you have to be aware of conditions of absorption

Depending on rarity of monsters and their magical power you will need to eat  exact amount of them to gain all of traits that this race can offer.

In this case your attributes will raise in different speed. It will also may take more time for you to receive Racial Skills of those races

You have two [Monster Cores] filled with DNA of different racesYou have gained access to your Body Forge

You can gain access to Body Forge by [Meditations]

Then you will be able to create various Avatar Types, that you will be able to change into

Having already prepared Body structures is a great convenience, because it will allow you to change your form by will, even in the middle of battle.

This will allow you (as you gain more DNA to combine) to switch your fighting stances between assassins and tanks, or combinations of those and many more

You have consumed the body parts of different Race.Dexterity: +1

Reflex: +1

There were so many notifications, that I allowed myself to skip them… Do you wish to open Body Forge now? Blah blah… SURE I DO!

And… as I have not much things to combine I just added as many traits to my human form from wolf as only I could. And… I saved is as “Newbie wolfie”… yup, I know.. but as I will have more of them at once, I can switched between those by will! They have to have obvious names so I can remember them! If I would have like 3 forms of werewolf named A, B and C… well let’s just say I can screw up. And it’s temporary… oh, I have full “human” too… just in case.

You are shapeshifting into [Newbie Wolfie] formStrength: +1

Dexterity: + 2

Reflex: + 1

Vitality: +1Your skill [Night Vision] that is part of [Predatory] will be improved

Your skill [Enchanted Senses] that is part of [Predatory] will be improved

My nails grew longer and became harden. I could feel same thing happening to my teeth. My pupils became vertical helping me to see better in dark. The smell of blood and rottenness was stronger now… but it was way less irritating.

-         So… Wolf King… you wanted to change a human into wolf? Let me show you how it’s supposed to be done!

Kay guyz... sorry for delay... but i had really shitty day today,and this may be also a reason for using word "shit" and it's varriation so many times.

Can you praise me? just a little? please ?  :C

Kya
