Chapter 67: Power Surge
Chapter 67: Power Surge
As he looked, the words 'Smith's Strength' transformed into 'Power Surge', which surprised Rain.
There was even such a change!
【Core Skill: Power Surge (Active)】
Effect: Upon activating the skill, your strength will multiply!
(Note: This skill originates from Smith's Strength at its maximum level. The duration is proportional to the user's Constitution and Spirit. Note: This skill cannot be further enhanced at this stage.) Rain noticed that after Smith's Strength evolved into Power Surge, not only did the name change, but the 'LV' symbol also disappeared. This indicated that, like Dark Vision, Power Surge could not be enhanced further with skill points.
Furthermore, the skill's description underwent a significant transformation, changing from 'significantly increasing' to 'multiplying'.
This change perfectly fit the rule, "The fewer the words, the greater the impact!"
Multiplying his strength...
Rain's decision to not seek out Hamilton seemed correct.

He looked up, and to his surprise, the dark and gloomy sky had started to drizzle.
There was a tiny notch on the greatsword's blade, a damage inflicted by the black dagger during his battle with the assassin.
This strength surpassed even that of a formal Knight, rivaling a Rampage Werewolf, and possibly even exceeding it slightly! What did this mean? It meant that as long as the enemy's strength was below that of a formal Knight...
Additionally, Rain had spotted several dog houses in the fruit forest.
It seemed highly likely that the Jackal Gang had powerful backers.
If one were to be caught in this trap, a broken tibia was almost certain, unless one was a Knight wearing sturdy Plate Mail Boots.
Previously, when Rain interrogated the leader of the Jackal Gang in the dense forest, he asked about 'Dog King' Cole's strength:
"Is your boss, Cole, a formal Knight?"
After a moment's thought, Rain quickly circled back to the main entrance of the Fighting Dog Manor. Although it was late, he could still faintly hear the cheers coming from within.
In the end, Rain poured out about a third of the bottle, which was just enough.
But now, these Jackal Gang scoundrels were bringing trouble to his doorstep?
After some consideration, Rain decided to wait a moment before taking action.
This meant that during the skill's activation, Rain's current 10 points of strength would instantly surge to 20 points.
His heart raced slightly as he carefully avoided the patrolling Night Watchmen, swiftly making his way towards the capital city.
However, the Jackal Gang's continued existence must have a reason.
No.
This was a good omen! A rainy night left no traces of murder.
He focused on the blade's edges, especially the sides.
Too merciful.
If this could be done, Hamilton would have done it already.
With his Dark Vision, Rain quickly identified the problem.
Was this the end?
Revenge should not wait! Rain planned to strike while the Jackal Gang was still unprepared, to turn the tables! Previously, Rain had been seething with rage over the assassination attempt within the Harris family.
As long as he could still breathe, his practice of the breath technique would not cease.
His fists and songs were always ready.
This indicated that at least some noble heirs would come to Cole's Fighting Dog Manor.
Initially, Rain had planned to climb over a fence and directly enter the manor.
After turning right at the sign, he would reach the manor in just five minutes.
Apply Wound Poison?
The sound of the rain, "patter-patter," masked Rain's footsteps and scent.
However, Rain skillfully gauged the situation, adjusting his body to peak condition. After his family fell asleep, Rain quietly left through the second-floor window.

Apply Paralyzing Poison?
Rain, possessing the Night Watch core skill, Dark Vision, felt no discomfort; instead, he felt a slight thrill.
As the greatsword was polished on the grinding stone, the tiny notch on the blade soon became imperceptible, returning to its razor-sharp state.
Rain carried a large sword wrapped in sheepskin, and he first circled around the Fighting Dog Manor from a distance.
The night rain grew heavier!
Apparently, there was still a dog-fighting match going on inside the manor.
Soon after, he picked up the steel greatsword and began sharpening it with a whetstone.
This was a little later than Rain had anticipated.
During the duration of the power burst skill, Rain's strength was almost unbeatable!
In the forest behind the fence, there were many large boar traps on the ground, covered with leaves. If one didn't look carefully, they would be hard to spot.
After walking for some time, Rain suddenly felt his face getting wet.
At the same time, a plan slowly formed in his mind.
This was self-explanatory; Rain licked his lips and smiled slightly.
After all, from a security perspective, eliminating the Jackal Gang would be a remarkable achievement.
Rain took out a small black bottle, poured a few drops of brown poison onto a small piece of cloth, and then carefully wiped the steel greatsword with it.
Hmm? It wasn't enough! Rain realized that applying poison to the greatsword required a significant amount of poison.
According to the information obtained during the interrogation, he needed to follow the main road north for about an hour, and then he would see the eye-catching Fighting Dog Manor signboard.
Not all the participants in the dog-fighting event were from the Jackal Gang; many were customers from the capital city.
But it was still a considerable sum.
However, Rain, who possessed the passive ability 'Danger Sense lv1', felt something amiss as soon as he approached the birch fence.
Therefore, lethal poison was the best choice!
These half-meter-high doghouses were almost full, housing malevolent dogs with smooth, shiny fur.
Looking up, Rain saw that the night sky was pitch-black, devoid of moonlight or starlight, instead covered with dark clouds.
Rain applied the poison to both sides of the blade, and as he looked at the steel greatsword emitting a faint greenish glow, he nodded in satisfaction and wrapped the sword in sheepskin again.
The other party shook their head.
Everything was ready! Before setting off, Rain continued to practice the Mammoth Breath Technique for a while.
"You've come at just the right time!"
Lord Hamilton, the Viscount and the town sheriff, might agree to protect his family, but he would never directly offend certain nobles in the capital city and eliminate the Jackal Gang for Rain's sake.
Rain even spotted several carriages with intricate patterns, each representing a noble family's crest.
He checked again and seemed to remember something. He took out a long, gray cloth strip, made some markings on his face with it, and then used a black dagger to make two holes in the middle before putting it away.
It would be better to wait until the dog-fighting match inside ended and the crowd dispersed before taking action.
This allowed Rain to observe the Fighting Dog Manor from the outside calmly.
But there was no other choice; the situation was stronger than the man!
Since 'Dog King' Cole's strength wasn't that of a formal knight, there was nothing to be done.
He had a premonition that if he climbed over the fence, there would be danger.
Thinking about it, Rain took out a small whetstone he had purchased from the blacksmith Boris, added a few drops of oil, and began sharpening his sword.
At this moment, Rain's heart was filled with determination!
Even after adding poison three times, it still wasn't enough.
So, Rain stood outside the fence, carefully observing the manor.
Rain was always patient when it came to important matters.
After more than an hour, the match inside the manor seemed to have ended, and the carriages at the entrance returned to the capital city with their respective owners.
The Fighting Dog Manor regained its rare tranquility.
Since it was already late at night, and the rain was still drizzling outside, the two young gang members responsible for guarding the manor were resting lazily under a nearby shelter, not even bothering to close the manor's gate.
