Chapter 42: Darklin, The Gremlin!

This was a giant gremlin. It was level 15, two levels above Roy. The worst part was that it was a boss-type vicious monster. The good news was that because it was too big, fat, and burly, it was slower than Roy.

Roy stood still, watching the monster approach him. The subspace opened and closed in his closed palm.

Left in it was a rune stone.

His aura poured into it, activating it.

A white light shot out of it, enveloping his entire body.

Instantaneously, his skin hardened.

『You've used the fortification rune stone to increase your defense. Your skin has become a shield that will protect you from harmful elements.』

By the time his skin became as strong as his bones, the Giant Gremlin was 16 feet away from him.

"Woof!" It pounced on Roy.

In mid-air, its hand grew to the size of a door, and its nails increased in length to look like a 1-meter blade. Its gigantic claws lashed out toward the invader.

Seeing this, the heart of Roy did a somersault.
