บท 11: Continuous Level Up (1)
While on his way to buy vegetables and fruits for his breakfast, he encountered church executioners. His heart skipped a beat, but luckily they didn't notice anything suspicious about him. He felt relieved that the cursed weapon aura of Tizona remained concealed from the crowd. Wielding a cursed weapon was never acceptable, regardless of the location.
At that moment he realized and was relieved that he didn't have to put any effort and worry about hiding his weapon relentlessly from others since Tizona itself could take care of that.
Finally, he arrived at Eggug's territory.
Eggugs are an inorganic monster. They are shown throughout Melromarc to be one of the weakest monsters along with the Balloon species.
Similar to Usapil and Yellow Balloon, they were commonly found in the forest around Melromarc and come in only two known colors white and blue.
When killed they drop eggs and colorful eggshells. And those colorful eggshells can be sold for a high price compared to the balloon skins.
Although eggshells are more valuable than balloon skins, hunting them continuously reduces weapon durability and sharpness due to Eggug's liquid substance, making it harder to sustain profits.
He came here for their egg drops since they were edible and valuable protein for his growing body.
Plus he can get used to his new weapon as these monsters were weak.
Having just acquired new skills, he decided to try them out. He used his [Brute Charge] and [Heavy Slash] skills simultaneously. The [Brute Charge] skill allowed him to increase his speed and power for a short period, allowing him to easily kill two Eggugs with minimal effort. However, the downside of this skill was that it reduced his accuracy when attacking.
Similarly, the [Heavy Slash] skill increased his attack power significantly, but it took longer to execute, leaving him vulnerable to attacks from the monster.
He hasn't used the [Berserker] skill yet, which could significantly enhance his physical abilities for a brief period. Tizona cautioned him against using the skill unless necessary due to its toll on the body.
It's worth noting that Tizona's [Life Exchange] ability can counteract the adverse effects of the [Berserker] skill.
Despite the system message prompting him to analyze the battle loot, he ignored it and continued killing egg monsters. He practiced for over half an hour, using his newly acquired weapon and skills to become more proficient at taking down the creatures.
Tizona advised him not to worry about its durability. Without hesitation, he killed the egg monster to his heart's content.
After the battle, he gained more than 200 EXP points by killing around 30 monsters. Each Eggug provided 7-10 Experience points based on its level. Today's reward was even more profitable than yesterday's, which was already the most lucrative day of the year since he started his career as a monster hunter. This was a significant difference, and it made Morsan realize the importance of having good weapons.
[Level 2 EXP (541/600)]
"Haha!! Seriously? This is insane!.. Only 59 to go.."
Morsan has collected a total of 12 eggs and more than 30 eggshells so far. Each eggshell is worth around 2 copper pieces. Remarkably, he achieved this new record for EXP farming in under an hour, and he couldn't believe the result was real. His joy was immense. After leaving Eggug's area, he found a suitable spot to cook his breakfast.
He made an omelet with bread and vegetable soup, adding fresh herbs from the surrounding forest, and enjoyed it with some fruit.
He enjoyed his meal, but he couldn't help but feel something was missing. The spices he used to have in his previous life were too expensive in this world, and he couldn't afford them. Suddenly, he heard Tizona's voice in his head, interrupting his thoughts.
"Boy, I'm sorry to interrupt your meal, but you only have a little over 18 hours left to offer the blood sacrifice. It seems like you're spending your time too leisurely, and I don't want you to forget your time limit."
"Even though I said I would lower my requirement, it's not as easy for a young kid like you as you might think. You need to hurry up, kid."
Morsan chuckled wearily at Tizona's assumption that he spent his time leisurely. Every action he took had a purpose. Before he set out to hunt Usapils for their blood, he needed to adjust himself to his new skills and weapon, reducing the likelihood of making mistakes. Although Tizona claimed that drinking the Usapils' blood could help with healing, Morsan was unsure how reliable this ability was in real situations.
He didn't want to risk making any unnecessary mistakes with his life on the line.
Before performing the [Blood Carnival] magic, he needed to eat a full meal. Tizona had informed him that this sacrificial magic could not be halted in the middle, and if Morsan couldn't defeat the monsters quickly, it could take even longer to complete. He didn't want to pass out from hunger while performing this sacrificial magic, as it could result in serious consequences.
After finishing breakfast, he stored leftover food in his inventory before heading to Usapil's territory.
He saw several bushes and numerous holes in the surrounding area.
Without stopping, he ventured deeper into the forest this time. On the way, he killed five Usapils before arriving deep inside the forest, leaving only 2 experience points for leveling up. He stored their corpses in his inventory.
He took a deep breath, as he stood in the big lair of Usapils. He slowly walks towards them while using his [Taunt] skill. The top of the monster's head showed a red mark indicating they were currently hostile towards Morsan.
"Now.."
He heard Tizona's voice.
"Melirunthu ithanai kavanikkum anaiththu aanmaakkalin munnilayil intha sadangai naan thodangukiren... "
As he chants to perform the ritual of [Blood Carnival], he is struck with surprise as he realizes he's speaking in an unfamiliar language. Despite never having heard the words before, their meaning floods his mind. With each word he utters in the unknown language, the surroundings grow colder.
