Kapitel 30: Strange Mobs

A brown creature now stood in front of Arthur, its claws threatening to slash him but the Black Tear Sword prevented it.

'Let's see what we got here,' Arthur used the Inspect Skill.

~DING~

>Inspect Successful!<

——

Target: Brown Fur Mongoose

Rank: Common

Level: 5

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

——

The level difference had increased greatly and this was just the most basic enemy Arthur was facing in the forest. There were several stronger ones in it too.

Reeeee!

The mongoose let out a cry as its eyes flashed with bloodthirst.

"You're really angry for a small guy, huh." Arthur said, finding the beast to be a little too violent.

CLANG!

Arthur deflected using the Short Sword and pushed the beast to the side, allowing him to go around it. The beast couldn't recover in time and was struck with the blade's edge.

[-10% HP!]

A red streak of blood trailed out from the beast's back making it cry in pain.

[-10% HP!]

Arthur left no opportunity for the beast to respond and struck again, leaving a gash on the beast's front limb this time.

Eek!

The mongoose quickly changed its position while ignoring the pain glaring at Arthur.

As the mongoose monster charged towards the Arthur, its razor-sharp claws and teeth glistening in the sunlight, Arthur quickly drew his short sword back. With a steady grip on his weapon, Arthur braced himself for impact and dodged to the side at the last moment, narrowly avoiding the beast's attack.

Taking advantage of the mongoose's momentary confusion, Arthur lunged forward with his short sword, aiming for the creature's exposed flank. However, the mongoose was fast, and it twisted out of the way, causing Arthur's sword to graze harmlessly against its fur.

Undeterred, Arthur quickly stepped back and assessed the situation.

'It's fast… My agility isn't enough to match it directly. Will have to look for the right moment.' Arthur thought.

The mongoose was agile and quick, but it was also small and vulnerable. With a determined look in his eye, Arthur rushed forward once more, this time feinting to the right before lunging to the left with his sword.

The mongoose was caught off guard by the sudden change in direction, and Arthur's sword found its mark, slicing deeply into the creature's side. With a shriek of pain, the mongoose stumbled backwards, but it was far from defeated.

[-24% HP!]

"Now we're getting somewhere!" Gritting his teeth, Arthur continued to press the attack, striking at the mongoose with quick, precise movements.

But the creature was tough, and its claws and teeth continued to rake against Arthur's armor, leaving scratches in the leather.

"Ugh!" Arthur finally got struck by the beast his HP falling.

[-15% HP]

"The clothes are not enough for this and its claws can get between the leather armor." Arthur said while letting out a breath.

For several intense moments, the battle raged on, each combatant trading blows and struggling for dominance.

[-10% HP!]

[-13% HP!]

[-18% HP!]

But in the end, it was Arthur who emerged victorious, his short sword finally piercing the mongoose's heart and bringing an end to the fierce fight.

[Critical Hit!]

[Fatal Hit!]

[-33% HP!]

As the creature fell to the ground, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, his hand still clutching tightly to the hilt of his sword. A string of notifications popped up and he looked at them briefly.

>Brown Fur Mongoose has been Killed!<

>5% Experience has been obtained<

"Haaah… This is definitely on a different level." Arthur said as he looked around for more enemies.

Having fought the Dire sewer rats, Arthur had become a bit confident, but the Brown Fur Mongoose had shown him that he needed to be careful.

'There are different mobs of different Stat spreads. I need to be careful about which ones I fight head on.' Arthur reminded himself.

There were thankfully no more enemies near him which did make him a bit surprised. Usually there should be quite a lot of mobs in the northern forest.

"Now that I think of it, the Brown Fur Mongoose was a little too aggressive. Do they even attack first?" Arthur wondered.

As far as he could recall the Brown Fur Mongoose weren't like this. They were a common mob that could be found in several areas and were passive mobs that only reacted upon being attacked.

"Did something trigger it perhaps?" Arthur guessed.

It wouldn't be unusual for something like this to happen either. After all, Morpheus Online was ever changing and could be different at different times.

"The inconsistencies are still reasonable so far..." Arthur's face stiffened.

He continued onwards for five minutes before encountering the second mob.

Stepping slowly, Arthur peeked over a large rock.

There stood a large deer with twisting horns. It's horns split into ten and looked rather gnarly, especially with what was stuck in them.

"What the fuck...?" Arthur saw the buck which had several carcasses stuck in its horns.

They were skewered thoroughly while dried blood stained its horns and face. But that was not all, as its eyes gleamed with malice.

This was further amplified with what it was eating, a beast corpse!

"Alright, something's definitely wrong here..." Arthur muttered.

He watched the deer for a few seconds ensuring that it hadn't noticed him. He then used the inspect skill.

>Inspect Successful<

——

Target: Ten Pronged Deer

Rank: Common

Level: 6

HP: 100%

MP: 100%

——

"This doesn't make sense." Arthur said finding the stats to be mismatched to what he was seeing. "are these mobs infected or something?" he wondered.

There were many status effects in Morpheus Online and Arthur had nearly seen most of them.

'But there shouldn't be anything that causes a status like this... They seem to be inflicted with madness.' Arthur thought.

Madness was one of the more rare types of status effects and would usually be seen around areas that were meant for 80-90 leveled players.

This was why Arthur was so confused. He couldn't confirm it either as the Inspect skill was not good enough to get detailed information about the mob.


Kapitel 31: Another Monster Core

With the new discovery, Arthur couldn't help but feel intrigued about the secrets that had been hiding for all this time.

'Never the less, I need to kill it and see.' Arthur thought to himself and got ready for a battle.

Having seen the strange behavior of the Mongoose earlier, Arthur had already guessed that the Ten pronged Deer would react in a similar way.

'If anything, the corpses stuck to its horns and the blood on its mouth speaks enough about it.' Arthur reckoned.

With that in mind, he first moved back and got into a suitable position. Right now the Deer was almost facing him, thus he needed to be on its blind side. But at the same time, he needed to be alert about the direction that the wind was blowing in.

If he stood in wind that was blowing towards the deer, he would definitely be detected.

Many newbie players would make this mistake and get caught by the beasts when they tried to hunt them. Those that were aware of this might be able to obtain the stealth skill that would allow them to do this indistinctly.

'Even if I don't have it, I still know how they work…' Arthur used his experience and circled around the deer.

He was now facing the left flank of the deer while the wind blew towards him, making sure that his scent did not come in contact with the deer keeping him hidden.

"Let's end this quick…" Arthur activated his skill.

[Swing Boost activated!]

With the skill active Arthur rushed towards the Ten pronged deer, the short sword pointing straight towards it.

SLICK!

The Short sword faced no resistance and slid smoothly into the flesh of the deer, penetrating its internal organs.

[CRITICAL HIT!]

[-45% HP!]

HEEEEEEEEEE!

The Ten Pronged Deer let out an angry cry with the pain that was inflicted on it. But at the same time, it wasn't as affected by the pain and was still able to move around without a delay.

"Damn! This is definitely not normal." Arthur grasped.

Due to the complexity of Morpheus Online, every character could respond in a realistic manner. Of course, there were exceptions to it, but they were usually understandable.

The foe in front of Arthur was one that he knew well enough about, but the way it responded was not normal at all.

"There's no doubt, it's inflicted with Madness." Arthur was sure now.

Madness was something that was true to its name. But it was not something that should be found this early.

SWISH!

Arthur stepped to the side while also swaying to dodge the horns of the Deer. It was not one to back down and was ready to skewer Arthur's guts.

KIIIIIIII!

The Deer let out another cry before charging towards Arthur but the man rolled away. The deer struck a tree nearby but wasn't injured. Instead, its horns left deep marks in the tree bark.

Taking that chance, Arthur slashed once more, hitting the deer in its neck.

[-20% HP!]

"Just a bit more!" Arthur took full advantage of his active skill and slashed as much as he could.

Thankfully with the madness status effect, it was still a bit dulled and did not react in the normal way.

[Fatal hit!]

>Ten Pronged Deer has been killed<

With the third and final strike, Arthur had slain the maddened beast.

>6% Experience has been obtained!<

"Haah…" Arthur took a deep breath, and looked at the corpse.

A few thoughts went through his mind before his eyes widened.

"It couldn't be like that, right?" Arthur muttered.

He approached the corpse and used the Butcher skill on it. Having obtained it from his first boss fight, it was now coming into use once more.

A quarter of Arthur's stamina was used up in skinning and butchering the beast. Arthur extracted the organs to prevent it from staining the hide. The hide was separated out before the flesh was removed from the bones.

>Player Arzhur has obtained a low quality Ten Pronged Deer Hide<

>Player Arzhur has obtained Low Quality Ten Pronged Deer Bones<

>Player has obtained Venison x20<

At the end only one thing was left that left Arthur with a pensive expression.

"Another one…" Arthur stared at the small red crystal that he had extracted out of the beast.

He used the Inspect skill on it, showing some information about it.

>inspect Successful!<

>Fragmented F Grade Monster Core!<

The crystal in Arthur's hand was none other than another monster core. He had gotten one from the boss before, but he had not thought he'd get it from a normal mob now.

'Things are certainly not good.'

Having found the monster crystal, Arthur was now sure things were going to get complicated.

"Let's just get to the ruins first."

Once he had a map, it wasn't that difficult for Arthur to get to the ruins. He passed through the forest while avoiding most of the mobs. He didn't wish to waste his stamina or get into a mishap before he found the ruins after all.

'Once I get to the ruins, I'll have a safe spot.' Arthur thought.

After a couple of hours of travel, Arthur reached a large clearing in the forest.

In the center of the clearing stood a crumbling temple, its once-mighty walls now reduced to piles of moss-covered stones.

Arthur approached cautiously, taking in the sight of the temple nestled in the heart of a large, circular courtyard, surrounded by towering trees and overgrown shrubs.

The temple itself was a marvel of ancient architecture, with towering pillars carved in the likeness of fantastical beasts and ornate archways etched with arcane symbols.

Vines and roots had wound their way through the cracks in the walls, and moss and lichen grew in thick, verdant patches along the length of the temple.

"This is certainly as expected." Arthur muttered.

Even if the ruins looked good, he kept a serious expression and was alert for any danger that might appear.
