Eric didn't forget to poke around during the day for information on the lower-ranked chimeras.

Knowing what Lucia's next experiment was related to was important to Eric.

Last time, it was because he had inquired about the experiment being related to fire and thus collected the appropriate skills that Eric had survived that demon's torture.

With Eric's active inquiry, he finally managed to figure out the information about the next experiment.

This time it wasn't fire, but earth.

[Toughness] [Hard Bones] [Self-Healing] could all be saved and continued to be used, he now needed to find [Earth Resistance].

Finally, he found a lv6 cutie.

It possessed [Earth Endurance] and [Mega Strength].

Having two skills was a rarity amongst low-ranked skeletons.

There was no rush to fetch them first, his [Creeping Foot] would continue to be used for a few more nights so that he could gather enough experience to upgrade.

The last time he made it through, he ended up relying on free attribute points to add them in time.

So it was best to upgrade one more level before Lucia came back to get the free attribute points more securely.

Last time, his physique was 5, this time his physique was 7, so maybe this point of free points could be saved or not.

In short, it was important to prevent accidents and be prepared to deal with risks.

At night, lightly touching the skeleton he had identified in advance, flames jetted in towards the eye sockets and chest, burning madly.

[Ding, killed a low-level skeleton, experience +6.]

Then, it was dismantled, incinerated piece by piece, thwarting the bones.

"That bone dragon has been sleeping for the last capital, master."

Eric winced in shock, scattering the last handful of ashes as he wandered around pretending as if nothing had happened.

He also tucked the last of his finger bones into the bony crevices of his arm bones.

"Who's there!"

A chirp of suppressed voices rang out, and sure enough, he was discovered after all.

Soon, a chimera stepped out from the corner in front of him, and at his feet, slime-like black shadows crept out.

"Just a low-level skeleton."

The chimera saw Eric's appearance and quietly sighed in relief.

After all, who would worry about their conversation being overheard by a skeleton that only acted on instinct?

Eric also realized that he appeared to have heard something unimaginable.

"Master, it's getting late today, so I'll let you know again if there's any news from Pound."

"If there is no news, the master will follow the predetermined plan and crusade against Pound in January."

The chimera bent down respectfully, saluting the slime-like black shadow at his feet as if it were a salute.

Eric's spirit lifted.

The crusade against Pound!

There was this good thing, wasn't this the time he had been waiting for?

At that time, muddling through, accumulating power for so long one's self stormed up, there might not be any chance to get out of this quagmire.

And the black slime at the bottom of the chimera's feet squirmed for a while and disappeared into the shadows.

It hadn't said a word from the beginning.

Perhaps the restriction between them allowed the chimera to only unilaterally transmit words but not receive information.

Even after the black slime disappeared, the chimera remained in place in a respectful posture without moving.

Eric pretended to casually turn around and wandered into the distance.

Then when the chimera was about to look over, he also performed a flat fall, climbed up, and then switched directions to continue wandering.

The stupidity and harmlessness of the low-rank skeleton were shown to the fullest.

Eric had lived with the low-ranked skeletons and performed low-ranked skeletons day and night.

He, at this moment, was the Low Order Skeleton.

Phantom also withdrew his eyes from Eric.

He originally wanted to finish Eric off, after all, with so many skeletons, Lucia wouldn't care if one or two were missing.

But Eric was, after all, the only skeleton that had survived the first round of experiments, and who knows how deep an impression he left in Lucia's heart, so she didn't make a move.

Burning the last of the finger bones stuck in his arm bone to ash, Eric began to rest.

Anticipating Lucia's return the day after tomorrow, he was going to lay his hands on the colleague who held [Earth Resistance] tomorrow night, while raising his level to lv4.

The next night, he lightly took care of a skeleton first and burned it to ashes.

Then without resting, he touched in front of the skeleton that held [Earth Resistance].

It was burned again.

[Ding, leveled up to lv4]

[Free Attribute Points +1]

Feeling the quick sensation of the Soul Flame rising after the upgrade, the mental exhaustion was slightly recovered.

He removed his left leg and installed it on his left leg.

Failed, gleaned the [Strength] out of this skeleton's two skills.

Damn, hate multi-skill guys, Eric once again ripped off his right leg, ripped off his right leg, and installed it.

[ding, gained skill earth resistance lv1]

But the skill [Toughness] he carried on his right leg was gone.

Just in case, he now had to find a guy with [Toughness], remove his left leg, and install it on himself before he could do so.

He destroyed the wreckage in front of him, and a strong sense of exhaustion surged up.

Steeling himself, he searched through the pile of skeletons, his spirit tiring with each use of [Appraise].

"Finally found it!"

When he found the [Toughness] skill guy, Eric even let out a low "gah" sound.

Quietly, he touched over and pressed the head.

"Incinerate!"

[Ding, killed low-level skeleton, experience +5.]

The spirit was almost drained.

Replacing the leg bones on it, he now had no energy to deal with the wreckage.

He could only burn the skeleton over with the flame at low temperatures, simulating it as bone deterioration and death.

[ding, spirit +1]

Finding a corner, he fainted on the ground, and before passing out, he vaguely heard a beep.

When he woke up, the surroundings were as usual.

The skeleton's remains had disappeared, probably treated as bone deterioration and disposed of by the chimeras.

Lucia hadn't returned yet, so it seemed early.

Eric looked at the panel, the spirit had been raised to 9 points.

At the moment, [Hard Bones] [Toughness] [Self-Healing] [Earth Resistance] are all there, and his Physique is "up" to 7 points, with a little free attribute point.

Eric, very confident, even wants to shout, who can kill me?

Now he even began to expect Lucia's sister to come over and torture herself.

At that time to give himself the whole earth magic, he later developed back to revenge, must give the lovely Lucia sister a pain.

Sure enough, by the time it was noon, the depths of the canyon also penetrated a few minutes of sunlight.

Sister Lucia fluttered her beautiful bat wings and descended to the bottom of the valley.

Her big, beautiful, deep purple eyes swept over the group of skeletons, about to deliver his long-awaited earth magic.

She waved her jade hand, and two lovely chimera sisters held up a skeleton, ah, that skeleton is me alas.

It seems that Lucia's sister still remembers me, and grabbed me up as soon as she came.

Looking at the skeleton in front of her, Lucia saw anticipation in the soul flames in his eyes.

She shook her head, probably an illusion of her own.

"I hope you can pull through this time as well."

Lucia spoke.

Then.

"Winds of Aeolus."

The gale engulfed Eric like a whirlpool.

Every inch of bone felt as if countless knives were cutting it.

"This bastard bitch demon! What's with the wind!"

Eric cursed Lucia and all the chimera present ruthlessly.

He just felt like his soul was going to be blown out of his bones in general.

The [Earth Patience] that was prepared was now like a joke.
