Novel Bin Chapter 71 Rewards And Loot
Pushing the rubble away from me, I used the walls to pick myself up and off the ground. I could see a giant crater that had formed on the wall after I clashed with the hound, and while it might have had a 3x boost in strength and doubled strength from the berserk state, it still seemed to have ended with a draw.
Well, that was what I thought until I looked into the other side of the throne room at the collapsed hound that was taking in shallow and pained breaths. It looked like every breath it took made it feel like its lungs were catching on fire, yet it did not stop breathing and decided it would rather go through hell than die to me.
\'Good thing I had enough mana to do that though...\' My eyes fell upon the towering earth spire that seemed to go from the ground to the roof of the throne room as if it was a vital pillar that kept this room from collapsing.
Lifting its paw and slamming it into the ground with all its power, it tried to get up but after its forelegs shuddered and shook for a bit, the hound eventually fell to the ground and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Looking to its right, I could see a blood splatter double the size of the current one and I could only guess that it had come from its mouth rather than its body since it did not have any visible wounds.
However, while the body of a hound that almost killed me would have been something cool to stare at until it died a slow and painful death, I decided that the best course of action was to end its misery and reap more rewards while doing so.
[Life Drain Activated]
The moment I activated life drain, I could feel my blood eyes waver while pinpoint had already disappeared since I didn\'t need it anymore and it would only drain me of more mana by the minute if I were to keep it on.
After waiting for almost half a minute, I finally heard a ding within my mind, a sound that caused me to look at the subsequent notification that made me smile from ear to ear.
[You absorbed the soul core of an Alpha Hound]
[Learnable skill has been detected]
[Would you like to learn the skill \'quick claw\']
[Yes] [No]
\'To think I could even gain skills from soul cores... How useful this ability has come to be. I wonder if anyone else has it or if it\'s just something that I have.\' I quickly shook my head and looked at the options with a bright expression.
My smile did not waver for a second as I unhesitatingly chose-
[Yes]
A surge of information shot into my mind and unloaded itself into my brain, yet even though the information was a lot for me to handle, it was not as bad as the amount that had been unloaded on me when I had first learned both Arsis and The Art of Wind...
\'Or I think that\'s what it is called.\'
Eventually, I stood up and walked towards the goblin chief that lay dormant, a horrified expression on its face that had been frozen in both horror and fear.
\'Should probably take your weapon first...\' I thought while shifting my body to the left and looking at the spear it once held. The spear let out the same vicious energy that it had before, but this time instead of it being directed towards me, I could feel that it was dormant and not being used in any way.
Grabbing the spear, I inspected it while walking back to the corpse before putting it in the weapon section of my inventory. While I wanted Za sword or maybe a pair of daggers, it seemed fate was against that decision and instead gave me a spear.
"Seems like I\'ll have to get used to using a spear again, not that it had been long since I stopped using one..." I chuckled to myself and looked at the corpse once again before kneeling.
Touching the corpse with my hand, I went back to the void world and moved my consciousness through the void, and towards the large red rune, I spotted something.
\'A third? What\'s this about?\' I asked myself, and as if the system could hear my thoughts, I heard a soft ring before a screen appeared in front of me.
[Unable to learn quick claw]
[Blood energy has reacted to the skill]
[Skill evolution shall now commence]
[Skill evolution complete]
[New Skill: Blood Claws (Lvl 1)]
[Information: Create claws out of blood energy that have the hardness and sharpness of an enchanted diamond, allowing them to cut through almost anything not infused with mana.]
"Holy crap, that is amazing." I exclaimed aloud, before tiring to supress the excited smile that took over my facial expressions.
However, after analyzing it for a bit, I forced myself to look away and finally activate my other skill.
I watched as my veins began to glow crimson while different runes traveled down my arm and imprinted themselves onto the body of the goblin chief.
After a few seconds of watching my hp rise once again, I let out a sigh and turned my head to the right, expecting a new notification to show up. However, my expectation of just a kill message shattered before my eyes, and something completely unexpected slashed through my eyes.
