Author's Note:
Hello readers, the author here with an important announcement. I recently did a back read and noticed that Chapters 4 to 5, where the Skill Plunderer was introduced, were incorrect. The skill plundering ability is actually a plunderer skill that can take any attribute or skill from a defeated beast.
However, it can only plunder one attribute at a time, such as strength. The level of strength taken will match the maximum strength of the defeated beast. This also applies to other attributes like constitution and more.
This also applies to skills. For every defeated enemy that is plundered, their initial understanding of the skill will be transferred to him. So if the enemy had reached the peak stage, he will also understand it at the peak level.
I apologize for the mistake. The chapters I uploaded earlier were actually draft versions and had not been edited yet, so please forgive me. I have now fixed the rest of the chapters one by one.
And that's about it, thank you.
...
Feeling the increase in his cultivation level, he smiled brightly, as this growth was truly heaven-defying.
If those people found out about this fast cultivation cheat, they would be jealous to death.
Even someone like him, with trash aptitude in cultivation and comprehension, could become a big shot soon because of this.
"Oh yeah, what does this thing do?" he called out as he touched the blue orb.
The moment he did, he felt his mind refresh. It was as if it had expanded and everything had become much clearer.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that the world was much clearer than before.
This made him wonder what it meant. Liking the feeling, he gathered all of the blue orbs and began absorbing them one by one.
As he did it, he felt his mind expanded and his mind was working much faster and better.
Like an idiot, of course he could feel the changes. "Damn, don't tell me these blue orbs increase intelligence? So the red orbs can boost my strength, constitution, and even my cultivation level. Then the blue orbs might improve the way I think..." he thought, not really sure about the last part.
Then remembering something, he walked toward the beasts and began to plunder each of them.
...
[You have plundered a 'Hopper']
You have acquired: Acceleration | DEF+
You have acquired: Acceleration | STR+
You have acquired: Acceleration | STR+
You have acquired: Acceleration | AGL+
You have acquired: Acceleration | DEF+
...
The messages began to flow like a tide, so he silenced the notifications. Then his Acceleration leveled up 2 points, increasing his speed by 110%, which is a great leap.
When it came to speed, it even surpassed "Stormbreaker", but he knew that it was only because he had not trained that skill yet.
If he did, he felt that it would surpass Acceleration.
Not only that, his defense had become much tougher now. He was even more confident that he could handle a direct attack from someone at the 10th level of the Mana Condensation Stage.
As for the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was also confident, but he had no idea what level of attack he could withstand.
After that, Alexander turned his attention to his constitution. He felt that his body was filled with vigor and life, which made him smile.
He understood that constitution refers to his base HP, as it determines how long his body can last and how fast it can regenerate.
If it is raised even further, he could tank a lot of heavy blows which is already a death sentence to others, and of course that may be possible in the future.
"With the Plunderer, along with the Heavenly Lobby filled with endless dungeons, I cannot even imagine how many skills and levels I will gain in the future," he uttered, swallowing hard as he thought about what was to come.
Even if he did not go out and just stayed at home, surpassing everyone was no longer a question. His greatest resource was the Heavenly Lobby.
Because of the blue orbs, his senses had expanded greatly. His perception now spread across 800 meters.
Smiling he moved forward and every time he moved, beasts began to appear. Even though they were low level, he did not want to let any of them go.
Killing and killing, after crossing a whole mile for an entire day, he found that this grass dungeon seemed endless.
Even after all that time, he had not yet reached the tall grassy plains. He had already lost count of how many he had killed.
His power had risen so high that with just a casual punch, even hoppers at the peak level would die in a single hit and disintegrate.
He had already killed about a hundred hoppers, but it was surprising that his cultivation level was no longer improving at all.
However, he could feel that with his peak Mana Condensation Stage, he might be able to compete with someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After thinking about it he decided to go back, thinking that he might have taken the wrong path.
After traveling for several more miles, he finally arrived at the tall grass area.
"I really went the wrong way," he said with a laugh.
With a burst of speed he did not waste anymore time as he rushed inside, and the moment he did, his body was cut in half in just a mere seconds.
"The... hell..." he said as his upper body turned from the fall.
When he looked behind, he finally saw the culprit. A small rabbit with pure white fur and about four feet tall.
Its eyes were white with a hint of gray and not only that, behind the beast was something like a wheel of wind surrounding it.
It was floating in the air, looking at him like it was a god. Even when it was just floating still, the wind seemed to circulate around the rabbit.
Like it was the ruler of the wind itself, "What the heck is this beast called? A god rabbit?" he cursed.
He really thought that with his stacked power-ups and massive leap of understanding in skills, he could at least fight back against something that had already killed him more than three times.
Then he saw the rabbit slowly fade, as if it were only an afterimage, which shocked him greatly before he finally lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was back on the bed, gritting his teeth from the pain, since it still hurt badly.
Thinking about the pressure from that rabbit, it felt to be on the same level as the woman who had restrained him back in the library, but it seemed to be much stronger.
But that fear slowly turned into craving, he could not help but imagined what would happen if he could plunder that beast.
Just thinking about its overpowered skills and speed made his eyes light up. If he had that, maybe he could roam the dungeon without any problems at all.
[Status:
Name: Alexander Versalius
Realm: Tenth Level of Mana Awakening
Achievements: Traveller
Affinity: Nature (Middle)
Skills: Plunderer | Acceleration [4] | Stormbreaker [1]
Passive Skill: Gentle Regeneration [2] ]
...
Looking at his stats, he saw that his Nature attribute had been raised to the middle level. This was because, during his hunt in the Grass Dungeon, he had spotted many spiritual plants.
After plundering a lot of them, his affinity had grown stronger, giving him much stronger buffs than before.
