Chapter 30.
After turning two opponents into charred meat skewers.
Eugene's momentum didn't diminish after his massive gains; rather, it increased.
Now, those living beings are clad in armor and wielding weapons.
In his eyes, they had become the most delicious food source in the world.
Step.
Step.
Every step he took forced his opponents to retreat involuntarily.
Crimson blood streamed down the giant horns, which were sharper and harder than fine steel.
This guy is a demon!
We are the ones who truly fell into the trap!!
The remaining four, including Ganu, finally realized.
Why they had been given this inexplicable task.
The enemy had been targeting them from the start!
The purpose of this thing, whatever it was (human or ghost) was to bury them here!
"There's no way... I'll agree to that!!!"
Pushed to the limit by humiliation and crisis.
The aura belonging to adventurers finally surged from the depths of their dazed souls.
The four men positioned themselves at the corners, their falna flaring up, each summoning all their strength.
They fought back against the unknown.
For the first time in a long time, they were adventuring in the Dungeon!
"Use every hidden trick you've got!"
Ganu took the lead, wielding a short blade in each hand, his eyes bloodshot as he charged towards Eugene!
As the strongest member of the team, he activated the Beastman's Frenzy skill on top of his Level 2 status.
He traded off flexibility and judgment in his movements for a significant boost in strength and speed!
"Roar!"
The large Cat Person flashed forward, desperately attacking Eugene without fear of death.
A furious barrage of slashes, silver light flashing, sparks flying everywhere!
It looked incredibly forceful and extremely dangerous!
However, they were unaware.
Eugene's Hardening skill came from the toughest defensive monster on the upper floors: the Armored Armadillo.
Adventurers at Level 1 could barely damage its shell.
Not to mention that through Eugene's frenzied hunting.
His "Hardening" had already evolved to "Hardening V"!
It was several times stronger than the Armored Armadillo's hardening!
Although Eugene appeared to have been struck numerous times.
In reality, all the attacks only damaged the armor; not a single one managed to pierce the interior.
He was entirely confident that, unless they used a second-tier weapon or a magic sword.
It was absolutely impossible to scratch his skin and flesh!
Crack!
Ignoring the frontal slashes, Eugene grabbed out with his reverse hand.
His 1,800 points of Strength effortlessly snapped and tore away the long spear attacking his flank.
The next second, he activated his skill "Casual Strike XV!"
A full fifteen levels of enhancement!
Durability of staff-like weapons increased by 150%!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eugene swung his large hand, and the long spear instantly transformed into an unbreakable, high-grade weapon.
Combined with the skills he had previously extracted: "Longer is Stronger" and "Spear Mastery."
Bundles of spear flowers bloomed in his hand in an instant, then shot straight towards the stunned Ganu!
Phew!
A splash of blood erupted from Ganu's shoulder.
But in his Frenzy state, this was only a minor injury!
"Try this on for size!"
Eugene laughed loudly.
This was a minor move for him, too!
Facing the four-man encirclement, Eugene rapidly pivoted his feet, bursting forth with an agility that belied his muscular physique, like a whirlwind.
At the same time, his grip on the spear sharply retracted backward!
He held his arm straight and shot the long spear out like a snake leaving its hole!
Visually, it looked as if the spear was instantly elongated by a foot!
Phew!
The next moment, huge gashes were simultaneously sliced across the chests of all four men by the spear tip!
Four bloody curtains sprayed out cleanly!
"!!!"
The men, who hadn't even seen Eugene's movements clearly, were violently shocked and retreated backward in unison.
But in this flash of conflict, retreating meant a flaw!
"ORA!!"
Eugene stepped out sideways, and the long spear, which had been resting on his shoulder, was pulled by his immense arm strength, cutting a dark shadow through the air.
Wooooo
It was the air lamenting.
Thwack!
The spear shaft directly smashed into the face of a helmet-less foe, causing a spray of red and white matter simultaneously!
Before he could even let out a cry of pain, his head was flattened by the impact!
"Plunder!!"
{You have critically wounded the target, extracting 80% of their vitality!}
{Acquired target's most prominent attribute - Strength +612! Agility +612!}
Strong Luck Bonus!
Eugene was ecstatic!
He actually gained two attributes at once!
{Abilities: Strength 2416SS, Endurance 1125SS, Dexterity 1675SS, Agility 1775SS, Magic 286G}
Strength surged in like a tide.
Eugene could even feel his own flesh and blood celebrating, threatening to burst through his skin!
This is too much.
This feeling of plundering is truly too wonderful!
Eugene's heart was almost lost to the sensation of gain.
The more he indulged, the more his heart yearned for the next step!
Bang!
Eugene's gaze returned, fixed on the man who had retreated to the corner of the wall!
"Idiot! Get out of the.."
Ganu watched as the fool instinctively raised his thick gauntlet.
But how could such a low-grade item resist Eugene's enhanced long spear?
The muscle fibers in his arm twitched rapidly, veins bulging like blue snakes.
Then, he hurled the long spear!
BOOM!!
With the enhancement of 2,400 points of Strength, the long spear was launched with a missile-like roar.
It was faster than the eye could follow, carrying the force to split mountains and rocks, and arrived before the man almost as soon as it left Eugene's hand.
Puch!
It passed through as effortlessly as piercing tofu.
The man who chose to stand his ground paid the price of his life for his mistake.
A deeply unsettling hole was punched through his arm, chest, back, and the rock wall behind him.
"What, in the world..."
Shaken by the instant scene of death.
Another man's defensive structure relaxed for a split second.
And what greeted him was Eugene's giant, upward-swinging, hammer-like fist!
BAM!!
A massive impact shot through the man's body, and before he could cry out in pain.
It was followed immediately by another punch!
A close-range left hook caved in his opponent's facial bones directly, sending most of his teeth flying out!
Splat!
Eugene's right hand precisely clamped down on the flying opponent, his fingers digging into his neck, producing a chilling grinding sound.
He pressed his last struggling opponent against the wall.
{Ding! You have critically wounded the target, extracting 60% of their vitality!}
The third punch!
A viscous splash sounded against the rock wall.
The struggle abruptly ceased.
Subsequently, the headless body weakly knelt down, slowly collapsing to the ground.
A large pool of blood dispersed wantonly.
Phew...
It seemed like a long sigh of relief after a hearty meal.
"What's wrong, not going to charge anymore?"
Eugene's voice was hoarse and slow.
He turned back, his surging vital energy visibly increasing.
In Ganu's eyes, he had completely transcended the concept of man and beast.
He had transformed into an unprecedented, vicious, evil demon shadow!
