Chapter 311: Hell Tree (7)
...Pow!
The last of Cerberus' heads exploded.
kung-
As the monster's massive body fell to the floor of the ruins, a slight earthquake occurred.
The sulfur and blood that spewed from Cerberus' bursting belly swept away the perfu and ginkgo scent from the floor of the shop.
-Ding!
['Level 1 Warrior' Vikir has successfully hunted the 'A
Ranked Monster Cerberus' for the first ti!]
[Rewards are given for 'aweso' achievents!]
A loud beeping sound erupts.
"...Huu."
Vikir sat down with a tired expression.
Catching Cerberus with a body that was 100 tis weaker was definitely hard work.
Then Grenouille, who was beside him, said with a tired expression.
"You're usually called persistent, aren't you?"
"No. I've never heard of it."
Vikir turned his head toward Grenouille and continued.
"I killed them all before they could say that."
Grenouille felt a shiver run down his spine.
Just then.
[Ehhh? Did you cat ch th is on e ? ]
The fairy who had appeared out of nowhere began to fuss.
[Huh la la? Is th is yo ur fir st ti
pass ing li ke th is ? ]
The fairy's attitude is that it didn't expect Vikir to actually complete the mission.
That's why the fairy seed to be quite flustered.
[Wh at sho uld I do? In the begin ning, the rew ards th at can be giv en are limit ed? ]
Then Vikir spoke up eagerly.
"Do you happen to have any artifacts or items that you can give away? I don't mind if they're consumables."
[ Mm mm mm mm mm mm ? ]
It looks like it isn't there.
Vikir opened his mouth as if there was nothing else to do.
"Oh well, it's not a mission I'm supposed to complete, so I guess they didn't think of a proper reward, just a way to make fun of the people trapped in the tower."
Then Vikir spoke up, sounding very offended.
"But you know what? A craftsman who could create such an elaborate system would be very particular about his output. He must have selected only masterpieces for each floor."
[ Mmmm mmmm mmmm ? ]
"But isn't it a little strange that such an error occurs from the very beginning of such a result? Could it be that the one just now was an extra-standard mission that soone did for fun? He exercised his authority purely out of his own power...."
At those words, the fairy looked extrely hot.
It was trying to look calm and avert its gaze, but you could see the heart pounding furiously in its cleft stomach.
Vikir cut in.
"You don't need any rewards for this bonus stage. Instead, I will file a claim against the tower's administrators when I see them later. I'm going to complain, and I'm going to complain loud and clear."
Then the fairy cried out urgently.
[ Is the re a rew ard? Are you rea dy for yo ur rewa rd ? ]
It was only at the ntion of a reward that Vikir smiled.
"Then give it to . Reward."
[But the rew ard th at can be giv en in the begin ning is limit ed ? ]
Vikir knew very well that the only reward a fairy could give in the beginning was a strange candy.
So Vikir was able to say firmly.
"I'm quantity over quality."
[You do n't hesit ate to say th at ? ]
"That's right. As long as you don't mind the quantity."
Before Vikir could nod, the fairy opened its mouth so wide that the corners of both mouths were torn open and blood gushed out.
[ Bweh ee eek ? ]
Then, the fairy began to spit out a huge amount of candy from its mouth.
Red, green, and blue candies poured out of her mouth.
Grenouille's eyes widened at the number of candies, which must have been hundreds.
"Oh my God! Look at all these stats! If I eat all these, I'll be strong in no ti!"
But Vikir just shook his head as he picked up the candies.
'... Not even close.'
The color of the falling candy is random, but red candies are the most common, followed by blue, and then green.
This ans that strength stats are the most common, stamina stats are common, and agility stats are rare.
In fact, most of the candy the fairy spit out was red and blue, and not much green.
Just then.
"...!"
Vikir's eyes widened.
Vikir quickly reached out and grabbed a candy that was stuck at the bottom of the pile.
It was the only other color among the red, green, and blue candies.
'I can't believe I got this here!'
Vikir exclaid inwardly, examining the candy with a nonchalant expression.
- / Physical Resistance / Black
A candy that increases Physical Resistance by 1.
Tastes spicy.
1 Physical Resistance
Black, like a concentrated form of darkness. At first glance, it doesn't look like any other stat candy.
Vikir regained the knowledge he had gained before his regression.
'According to the moirs of the Great Heroes, there are six types of stats that can be raised inside the tower: Strength, Agility, and Stamina, which can be raised early on, but the other three stats can only be raised later in the stage. The drop rate of candy is extrely low to begin with, so it's possible that you won't get any at all on your way to the top.'
Six stats. Three of which are Strength, Agility, and Stamina. They were 'ultra-rare talents' that even the most heroic of heroes had never managed to blossom on their way out of the tower.
And one of them, Vikir had already gained.
'Physical Resistance. A stat that reduces the damage taken by an attack.'
Without thinking twice, Vikir ate the black candy.
Gulp!
As he passed the candy down his throat, he felt a pungent flavor that burned his tongue and throat.
-Ding!
The status window changed.
.
-LV: 1 (%)
-Title: 'Gutter Rat Hunter', 'Hell's Dog' (NEW)
-Stats.
Power: 230
?Agility: 219
?Stamina: 244
?Physical Resistance: 0 ( 1) = 1
??: (Locked)
??: (Locked)
Unlike the base stats, which are above a certain number from the start, the special stat, Physical Resistance, starts at 0.
This is because this stat is an innate talent that cannot be raised in the real world.
It can only be raised in this tower.
'Once you've eaten the candy and unlocked it, your stats will naturally increase as you level up. If you leave it alone, it will grow with your level.'
To be able to bloom and grow this stat so early on was an incredible stroke of luck.
Plus, it gave us a new title: The Hell's Dog.
-New Title: Hell's Dog
? Deal massive additional damage to creatures in dog form.
Taunt, Confuse, Blind, Bleed, Burn, Poison, and other status abnormalities last slightly longer.
'Title perks aside, unlocking the Physical Resistance stat early on is a huge opportunity.'
In fact, the whole point of trying to get to the bottom of the tower is to complete the big six stats.
While leveling up is important, it's actually more important to complete these six stats.
Six types of stats that you can take with you outside the tower. But collecting them all was a feat that none of the great heroes before the Regression had ever accomplished.
Then.
A fairy spoke to Vikir, who was sitting still and lost in thought.
[Ov er the re ov er the re? Do you by any chan ce ne ed a can dy sto re ? ]
After speaking, the fairy stretched out a finger and brought up a status window.
