Rat Ogre LV6
[Mad Beast]
"Hell." Issei cursed mildly as his [Gar's Mind] kicked in and cald him down from his rising panic.
With another loud roar, the Rat Ogre leapt at Issei with both arms extended, attempting to grab him. With a curse, Issei leapt to the side and lashed out with his bronze sword at the arm of the Rat Ogre. It bounced off the skin of the monster like it was steel.
"Bloody bastard hell!" he cursed before dodging another swipe of a clawed paw. Those claws were the sa size as carving knives and looked just as sharp, if not sharper.
This ti he attacked with the steel sword he had taken from Byral, scoring a hit down the monster's right underarm. Then, to Issei's surprise, it just regenerated the wound in seconds.
"...you have got to be freaking kidding !" Issei yelped as he dodged another clumsy swipe from the Rat Ogre, "It's strong, fast AND it regenerates?! C'mon, gim a break here!"
An idea ca to mind. Issei returned the bronze sword to his inventory and drew out one of the Iron Daggers he had taken from the Packmasters. He held it clumsily and threw the knife at the Rat Ogre's face, scoring a hit just below the eye that made the monster recoil and cover its face with one massive paw.
Quickly, Issei ran around to the back of the Ogre, leapt into the air, drew back his sword and brought it smashing down on the machinery attached to its back with a yell. The steel blade cleaved the machinery in half and set off an explosion that sent Issei flying back into a wall.
-60 HP!
You have crippled the Rat Ogre! -70% Movent!
"Ow...!" Issei moaned as he shook his head to clear it. The Rat Ogre was slumped over, twitching, where it had fallen. The arcane device on its back was a lted hunk of lted scrap tal and plastic tubing.
Staggering to his feet, Issei walked over to it and looked down at the struggling monster before raising his blade and ending it by decapitation.
You have slain a Rat Ogre! You gain 380 EXP!
Issei cocked an eyebrow when no offer to loot ca up. After recovering the dagger and stowing it in his inventory, he peered back into the Rat Ogre's forr cage and spotted a chest, similar to the one at the entryway. Opening it, he beheld a circular item that looked suspiciously like it should fit the clasp of his cloak. He picked it up and placed it into the slot, making a screen pop up.
[Do you wish to add the [Eye of Obscurity] to the [Cloak of Obfuscation]?]
Y/N
"What does it do?" Issei asked plaintively.
[A part of the Unknown Set. Adds the ability to muffle sound to the cloak. (Does not include voice)]
"Better." Issei said with a nod as he hit the 'Y' key.
Effect added to [Cloak of Obfuscation]!
- Suppresses all sound from the user by 50%. (User voice exempted).
"Useful."
With that, Issei turned to the other two doors. He did not want to have to fight another Rat Ogre, even although he now knew how to fight the bastards. He was down by 145 HP as it was. He had to be careful as he only had 155 left!
"Let's see here..." Issei looked between the door on the left and the middle door, "The obvious location for a door to go onwards is the middle one, which is a clue that it isn't the way. So, left it is."
Thankfully, as the left-hand door clanked open, there was a conspicuous lack of Rat Ogre behind it, much to Issei's relief. He pulled his hood up and ran down the corridor, which was weird because his footsteps made no sound whatsoever. Talk about freaky.
Issei slowed down when the stone bricks around him turned into rock abruptly. This was obviously an older part of the dungeon.
Looking around, Issei spotted two more chests, on either side of a large stone door with the face of a large horned rat carved into it. Moving to the chest on the right, he opened it to find a plain steel short sword, basically the sa design as his bronze sword. Hastily equipping it, he pulled up its stats.
[Steel Short Sword]
A short sword forged from steel. It bears no makers mark, but is in excellent condition.
Short Sword
Slashing Damage: S 18
Piercing Damage: S 14
Rather pleased with this prize, Issei moved onto the last chest. Opening it, he blinked as a pair of arm bracers, made of so kind of red tal, appeared.
Equipping them, he once again accessed his equipnt screen in order to find out what it did.
[Bloodtal Bracers]
Light armour made from Bloodtal, the na given to steel that has been anointed with willingly gifted dragon blood and enchanted by a powerful magician. It offers decent protection for the forearms, but its true value cos from the effect it has on draconic abilities.
Light Armour
- Grants 15 Armour to covered locations.
- All [Draconic] skills gain 5 to their effects and gain 25% more experience while these bracers are worn.
"Nice!" Issei grinned, before a frown ca upon him. If he was getting not one, but two cool pieces of equipnt, that almost had to an that the boss was behind that door. There was no such thing as a freebie in a dungeon, after all.
Drawing both of his swords, he approached the door cautiously and examined it for a way to open it. Seeing that there was a raised button in the centre of the muzzle, he pushed it with the butt of his sword until he heard a 'click' sound.
