Infinite Evolution (Azzurum) Chapter 5: Grinding

Σ>―Noah Solomon->

[Dungeon of the Titan] I found this hidden dungeon accidentally when I was a child.

Ever since I've been challenging this dungeon. I only got this strong because I repeatedly challenging this dungeon for 19 years. But I couldn't pass through the dungeon's 100th floor no matter how many times I got stronger and thinking of ways in defeating it. The results is me always losing. I just can't picture myself defeating that being. It was too FREAKING OP.

The dungeon's 1st to 10th floor looks like a forest and have some caves. It even have an artificial sun made by magic.

The monsters wandering in the 1st to 10th floor of the dungeon are [Vicious Giant Rat], [Slime], [Zombie], [Skeleton], [Goblin], [Gnoll], [Kobold], [Orc], and [Ogre] and every 10th floor there is a powerful boss guarding it. If I'm not wrong the boss in the 10th floor should be a [Lich].

Some of them sounds weak but they're levels are 1-50 and far stronger and smarter than your everyday monsters you found in other dungeons, so better not understimate them.

[Day 4]

I killed some skeletons and slimes and taken their equipments. I was smoothly conquering the 1st and 2nd floor until I entered the 3rd floor.

*Shing*

[You have killed an Skeleton]

It dropped his weapon.

"[Appraisal]" I said then a status pop up.

[Status]

Name: N/A

Status: Old and rusty

Rank: F

Attack: 10

Defense: 10

Description: A sword of a fallen warrior.

"Nice, I can now deal more damage." I can handle 1 to 2 monsters at the same time but I will die if it's higher level than me. A weapon is a big boost to my strength. It will be more easy killing them especially the slimes.

As I was walking around exploring the third floor I found some [Wild Berries]. Then an idea popped up at my mind.

"This might worked." I showed a wicked smile well in my mind since I'm a skeleton. I sat in the nearby tree and placed the [Wild Berries] close to me.

I pretended to be dead and waited for a monster to take the bait. After 30 minutes of waiting I saw a [Vicious Giant Rat] cautiously approach the berries. It worked!

"[Appraisal]" I said quietly.

Title:

[Leader]

A [Vicious Giant Rat] Pack leader have longer tails and poor eyesight, but excellent hearing, smell, taste, and touch. They are skilled jumpers, climbers, and swimmers which helps them sneak attack at their opponent. That's why I was afraid to take risk at attacking it.

"D*mn! A pack leader right off the bat. Do I attack it or not? But if I killed it I'll level up quicker and will have easier time to deal with the other monsters besides hes not with his pack." I clenched my teeth in frustration because of my bad luck.

Because of my greed and thirst for strength I decided to attack it. Then I remembered that I have a skill that can kill higher level monsters.

I willed [Eyes of Verita] to activate, and I saw many black gas in his body and the biggest one is in the brain and heart. I assume that those black gas are their weakness. The larger the gas is their most weakness.

The rat lowered his guard when he saw me not moving. The moment he ate the berries I immediately slashed my sword in his chest but it wasn't deep enough to penetrate the heart. He was unabled to dodge it in time because of my suprise attack.

[-30] Critical hit!

[Bleeding effect has been activated]

[-5]

I was able to deal a critical hit, but unfortunately my sword snapped. While the other half of my sword is stuck the rat's chest.

"Who dare attack me when I'm eating! IT HURTS!" The rat squeaks loudly the rat was discombobulate at the sudden pain it felt and panicked he was jumping around and smashing himself in the trees like an idiot thus making it damage himself.

"Did the rat just talked?! Oh yeah I forgot my skill [Universal Language]" I said.

[-5]

Now it only have 20 hp left. The rat calmed down and look at me angrily. It hissed and used [Posoin Fang] at me. I tried to dodge but because of his agility is higher than mine so I was grazed by it.

[-10] damaged received

[Poison was nullified due to your nature of being an undead]

"Ha! Idiot I'm a skeleton remember?" Then the rat squeaked angrily

"Tsk! I can't win. I'll come back with my pack and kill you in the most torturous way!" quickly retreated because it realized that he will die if this continues.

But ofcourse I didn't let it happen and cornered it. It tried to use [Call] when I noticed what it was trying to do so I punched it again and again and again the broken sword in his chest because of that the sword got deeper and it peirced the rat's heart. He was huged so it was easy to hit him.

[-15]

[-30] Crititcal hit!

"My fooooooood!" The rat squeaked in pain as he died.

"Wow seriously? He's last words are "my food"? I chuckled.

[You have killed an Vicious Giant Rat!]

[Level Increased 6 > 10]

[Because of your genius strategy you have received the title {Strategist}]

I leveled up 4 times! Nice will I evolve now?

Then a glowing orb entered my body, [Skill learned]

Cost: 50 mp per summoned undead and reviving the dead depends on the strength of the monster.

"I can use this to revive every boss that I killed in this dungeon, perhaps with this I can finally kill that being." I evilly smiled

I picked up the loot dropped by the rat and inspect it "[Appraisal]"

[Troll] [Gnoll] [Ghoul]

"I choose [Ghoul]"

[Are you sure you want [Ghoul] as your new race?]

[Y/N]

"Yes!"

[Congratulations! You will now evolve as a {Ghoul}]

A fleshed was suddenly starting to form in my right hand I panick and accidentally touch my head. My hand was glued in my face so when I tried to forcefully rip it out when I ripped it out my face now has gained a flesh too. It slowly it covered my whole body. My boneless body is now have a flesh and a durable body and my skin is turned pale and hairless, I have now a strong and sharp long claws that have strong paralyzing ability. Good thing I can control my claws to be long or short so I can use the great sword I got from the [Vicious Giant Rat]. I have a bit resemblance to my previous human face. The feeling of hungriness emerged from me and I have an urged to eat any living things especially human flesh...
