YM778.TV Chapter 20 - 20
Chapter 20:
[The pet system seems to be a kind of prisoner of war.]
The shadow fragment skill was the ability to release shadow soldiers from the corpses of enemies.
On the other hand, the pet system allows enslaving enemies without killing them.
The difference between the two was the presence of \'growth\'.
[If you kill wolfie right now and release him as a shadow soldier, he will be a wolf cub forever.]
Gray\'s situation was different from Beru, who was temporarily downsized due to lack of mana.
The moment he becomes a shadow soldier, he would be released from his current weak and young form.
[Of course, as the level of Young Master rises, wolfie will be affected to some extent as well. But, the limit will be clear. On the other hand, if you let them live like this...]
"He\'ll keep on getting bigger and later might become a huge wolf like Broki."
[Yes. By that time, he will be of help to Young Master.]
"Really?"
Hearing that it would help him, Suho smiled and looked at Gray.
[Gray Lv.2]
Fang Wolf
"Hnnggg."
As soon as the madness from \'Skill: Harsh Command\' disappeared, Gray returned to being a worthless one-day old cub.
At first, it seemed like he would die right away, but thanks to the level up, his condition looked much better.
However, the image of him crouching in the corner and turning his gaze in a different direction seemed to be unfamiliar with Suho.
Suho sighed.
"How long will it take until I can use him?"
[He\'s insignificant right now, but wouldn\'t he be helpful if he was bigger? He will earn experience on his own.]
"It\'s like an automatic hunting game."
The problem was that the game was at the level of a mini-game at the moment.
"Alright. Then, let\'s keep raising Gray here."
-I agree. Since he had to be fed three meals a day anyway, an environment like this would be perfect.
"Huh?"
[Hmm?]
-Why? What? Aren\'t we on the same side now?
"..."
Rakan\'s Sword casually added his opinion.
He had been floating around Suho by the Ruler\'s Power.
Snatch.
Suho snatched the handle and said.
"Okay. Then, should I slowly level up, too?"
It wasn\'t just Gray who entered the Shadow Dungeon.
Even after finishing the 4-hour survival quest the other day, the Shadow Dungeon was still infested with wild goblins.
Even if there was no quest, experience would be gained as Suho hunts.
\'Last time I was too weak to run away, but things are very different now.\'
It was also rewarding to level up during that time.
Most of their name tags had turned white.
Suho was confident that he could deal with them no matter how many they were.
However, he had no intention of looking for each one of them hiding in the dark.
"Inventory."
Suho took out an item from his inventory that the goblins had dropped during the last survival quest.
Beru, tilted his head.
[Young Master, what is that?]
"This?"
Suho smiled.
[Item: Horn]
Difficulty to get: E
Type: Instrument
The horn used by the Goblin Commander to summon his men.
"It\'s an item I\'ve already obtained, so shouldn\'t I use it?"
Suho put the horn in his mouth and blew vigorously.
Woo-woo-!
[Use \'Item: Horn\' to call nearby goblins.]
That moment.
Kiek-!
The black-and-white world became noisy.
The goblins hiding in the darkness began to jump out at the same time.
They were angry at the fact that the one who summoned them was a human.
Krrrk, Krrrk! Krrrk!
[Oh! You are truly brilliant! This is kind of reusing!]
Suho fiercely showed his teeth as he watched the goblins attacking him from all sides.
"Beru."
[Yep!]
"Now, it\'s your turn to eat."
[Krrrk!]
Beru smirked with greedy eyes at those words.
The mana stone was good, but eating the magical beast directly was much more efficient to recharge his mana.
Right then.
Ring!
[\'Daily Quest: Cleaning the Shadow Dungeon\' has arrived.]
"Huh?"
A message suddenly appeared in front of Suho\'s eyes.
[Daily Quest: Cleaning the Shadow Dungeon]
100 Goblins: Incomplete (0/100)
10 Goblin Commanders: Incomplete (0/10)
1 Goblin Main Commander: Incomplete (0/1)
"A daily quest?"
Suho\'s eyes widened.
He was going to hunt anyway, but a timely quest just arrived.
"This is great."
Since it\'s a quest, there will of course be a reward.
For a daily quest, it meant that the reward would be given every day.
[Anyway, the system seems to want to make this place completely the territory of Young Master.]
"... It\'s the system my father used."
Suho murmured with a longing expression.
\'I remember when I was little I used to shine my dad\'s shoes and get pocket money.\'
"Okay! Let\'s see how much pocket money he will give me this time!"
Suho swung his sword
[\'Skill: Blade Storm\' has been used.]
A violent storm raged.
* * *
After a while.
"Khiikk!"
[You have killed a Goblin Archer.]
[100 Goblins: Incomplete (89/100)]
"Krrrk!"
[You have killed a Goblin Commander.]
[10 Goblin Commanders: Incomplete (9/10)]
Suho was slaughtering goblins like a madman with two swords.
But, he wasn\'t fighting alone like before.
Suho selected only the largest goblin commanders among the goblins and used them as shadow soldiers.
Seven of them.
[Number of shadows that can be released: 7/7]
It was thanks to his intellect stat rising after catching Broki.
However, compared to the past, Suho was still feeling regret despite the changes that could be called great development.
"At times like this, it\'s a pity that the shadow soldiers disappear on their own over time. You mentioned that my father said he also had a shadow storage skill, right?"
[Yes, that\'s right. His Majesty has commanded eternal soldiers.]
"Can I have it later too?"
[I don\'t know that much.]
Suho licked his lips.
\'Anyway.\'
Despite this, no notice of level-up has been up yet.
As the battle becomes easy, the experience comes in less.
\'This is practically like a morning exercise.\'
It would still be a problem even if the daily quest was too difficult. He would be stressed fighting for his life every day.
But...
\'Isn\'t it worth it?\'
Suho took out the horn again.
Woooo! Woo-woo-!
[Use \'Item: Horn\' to call nearby goblins.]
Then, immediately.
Krrrk! Krrrk! Krrrk! Krrrk!
From the darkness, a new army of goblins began to emerge.
Beru opened his eyes wide and looked at Suho.
[Young Master? Aren\'t you almost done with the daily quest?]
"Who cares? We have a lot of time today anyway, so let\'s go on until we level up."
[Heuk. Young Master is born to be a soldier ant.]
"Is that a compliment?"
Suho smirked and was surrounded by the new goblins.
After which...
[Daily Quest: Cleaning the Shadow Dungeon]
100 Goblins: Complete (107/100)
10 Goblin Commanders: Complete (10/10)
1 Goblin Main Commander: Complete (1/1)
[You have completed \'Daily Quest: Cleaning the Shadow Dungeon\'.]
[The completion reward has arrived.]
[Do you want to check the reward?]
( Y / N )
"... Yeah."
Suho checked the quest window and opened his eyes wide.
Ha didn\'t check the message about the reward as he was frantically fighting with the goblins. But, he found something strange.
[100 Goblins: Complete (107/100)]
\'Why does the record keep accumulating even though I have reached the target?\'
For a moment, Suho\'s eyes glimmered.
Is this really a coincidence?
Slash!
Suho cut the head of the goblin who was just about to attack.
[You have killed a Goblin Commander.]
[10 Goblin Commanders: Done (11/10)]
\'Again!\'
Likewise, the other counts continued to accumulate.
He was puzzled.
\'Up until how much would it count?\'
Suho started hunting the goblins with more enthusiasm than before.
He eventually leveled up in the middle but he did not stop hunting.
As a result...
[100 Goblins: Complete (200/100)]
[10 Goblin Commanders: Complete (20/10)]
[1 Goblin Main Commander: Complete (1/1)]
When it reached exactly twice the target number, no more counts were accumulated beyond that.
\'There\'s something about this.\'
Suho\'s curiosity had now turned to conviction.
[1 Goblin Main Commander: Done (1/1)]
Now all that remains is the main commander.
"Krrrk!"
Killing that guy doubles everything.
\'Then, what will happen?\'
He wanted to see for himself.
"Catch him so he can\'t escape!"
[Krrrk!]
At Suho\'s command, the shadow goblins rushed at the same time and seized the limbs of the large goblin commander.
"Kyaaaagh!"
It struggled a lot.
Suho ran and cut off its head.
Right then.
Ring!
[You have completed \'Hidden Quest: Cleaning the Shadow Dungeon\'.]
[The completion reward has arrived.]
[Do you want to check the reward?]
( Y / N )
"Hidden Quest?"
The moment all counts doubled, the type of quest changed.
Suho was delighted that his intuition was correct.
After killing the main commander, there were no goblins attacking anymore so he decided to check the reward right away.
"Check the reward."
Ring!
[The following rewards were prepared.]
Reward 1. State Recovery
Reward 2. Ability Points +3
Hidden Reward 3.
1) Blessed Random Box (Select)
2) Cursed Random Box (Select)
[Are you sure you will accept all?]
\'There are three rewards?\'
He decided to check the first reward first.
He leveled up in the middle, but after fighting 200 goblins, his body was completely exhausted.
"Accept the first reward."
At that moment, Suho\'s whole body was enveloped in a faint blue aura.
Just like when leveling up, his conditions were back to normal and everything was replenished.
"Oh, this is good."
The moment he felt it, he realized how to use this reward in the future.
He would save this reward and use it in a timely manner so he won\'t have to wait vaguely to level up when he\'s in the middle of a battle.
"Accept the second reward."
The second reward, \'ability point +3\', was also very good.
He tried it today, but the higher the level, the more difficult it was to level up.
But since this was a daily quest reward, he thought that from now on, he could become stronger every day this way.
And finally...
Only the reward for the hidden quest remains.
Hidden Reward 3.
1) Blessed Random Box (Select)
2) Cursed Random Box (Select)
Options were laid in front of Suho.
