The days continued to pass and Adolf's situation did not improve but it stopped getting worse. He could already move his poisoned body with a certain degree of freedom, he also began to gain a certain resistance to pain as the days passed.
Adolf had no idea how much time had passed since he arrived in this new world, his mind was always focused on surviving at all costs, so little by little the passage of time became something strange and bizarre for him. the.
But that was not the worst thing that was happening to him.
[Your blood has been totally poisoned]
[Your strength, speed and stamina stats are reduced by 40%]
[Health and stamina regeneration is reduced by 60%]
[Stamina consumption is increased by 80%]
To verify this, Adolf cut his arm and was able to observe how his blood went from being reddish, instead it was now black, and when it came into contact with Adolf's skin, he almost immediately felt that his skin was burned.
This is how Adolf knew that his blood had become poisonous, maybe if he stopped consuming water his blood would detoxify, but Adolf could see something good in that.

Two skeletons were fighting a level 15 goblin [Warrior], both being level 10 skeletons, Adolf watched as it all played out with some problems.
Previously Adolf had tried to ambush the goblin to kill him with a clean blow, unfortunately the ambush failed and it was up to his two skeletons to face each other, when he saw the opportunity he whispered something very softly, after that a totally black arrow that seemed to be ethereal shot out and This impact on the leprechaun's thigh.
The goblin let out a high-pitched squeal of pain and was distracted from the fight, at which point the skeletons knocked down and killed the goblin.
Adolf came out of hiding, his appearance was emaciated and he looked like a homeless man, since he only wore a pair of torn pants, his hair was disheveled and full of dirt, but what made him look more pitiful was his face full of dried blood along with some large baggy eyes.
But Adolf couldn't care less about his appearance, since all his attention was on the system messages.
[You have splendidly mastered your skills. Your class has leveled up]
[Black Mage Level 6 -----> 7]
Lately Adolf how to level up constantly, was to use your class to the maximum expression of him, was to "incarnate" the meaning of the class.
In Adolf's case, his class was [Black Magician], so his fighting style was to use his skeletons as fighters while he in the rear used curses to weaken his enemies and then finish them off with black magic. when they had their guard down.
Thanks to that he was able to raise his class up to level 7, not only had his mana stat increased but it was also getting closer and closer to the time to evolve his class, when that time would come he had to choose the path you would take.
"If he could, he would choose all three paths, but unfortunately I don't think that's possible."
After thinking that, Adolf checked his status window.

- - - - - - -
With the passage of time and thanks to the fact that his health was constantly undermined by poison and mana poisoning, Adolf was able to increase two of his stats, health and regeneration, and thanks to that he was finally able to discover what the regeneration stat was for.
The regeneration stat defined the speed at which he recovered his health, stamina and mana, thanks to having a fairly high regeneration stat his mana and stamina recovered at a good rate, but for his health he had the [Chaos Bugs] like this It wasn't a huge increase or anything.
But another big increase in his strength was because he had been hunting down a lot of goblins, thanks to that he managed to buy the [Dark Arrow] skill.

With this ability Adolf could provide adequate support to his skeletons in battle and tip the scales in his favor.
But something that did catch Adolf quite unexpectedly was his new passive ability, [Sharp Instincts].
- - - - - - -
[Instintos afilados (sin rango - Nivel 5)]: Posees grandes instintos refinados que te ayudan a sentir el peligro o algo que podría to lead the user to an unfavorable situation.
- - - - - - -
A fairly simple ability but that didn't take away from how useful the ability was, Adolf was practically crippled at the moment when it came to his senses, so he began to trust his instincts more and more and took him to the obtaining this skill.
Thanks to that ability, Adolf began to know which way to go to avoid running into a burned knight, greatly reducing the risks and increasing Adolf's chances of survival, also thanks to the ability, he began to know when was the right moment to use magic or a curse.
'With the skill [Sharp Instincts] he began to understand wild animals more.'
That was correct, Adolf at this time was behaving more like a wild animal than a human being.
While Adolf was removing the manastone from the goblin's head, a message from the system came before his eyes, which left Adolf surprised.
[The [Ruler of the Underworld] has issued a quest for the user]
[Does the user want to accept said quest?]
[Yes/No]
Adolf widened his eyes in surprise as he had never imagined that such a thing was possible, then he highly doubted whether or not he would accept the mission given by the [Ruler of the Underworld].
'I bet it will be somewhat dangerous but… the more dangerous the mission, won't the better the reward?'
With that thought in mind Adolf accepted the mission.
[You have accepted the quest]

"..."
Adolf's pupils began to tremble enormously as cold sweat drenched his entire body, but from one moment to the next his astonished and terrified expression turned into an expression of almost uncontrollable anger.
'Damn it.... that bastard God played me, not knowing how serious the consequences are for failing the mission I can't just dismiss it. Besides I can only use passive skills, it seems I can only rely on the [Chaos Bugs] to complete the quest.'
Adolf's mind worked tirelessly as he tried to find a solution to complete the mission, he thought and continued to think of something that would at least give him a slim chance of completing it, but for Adolf that option represented completely ruining his plans.
But he just realized something, plans for tomorrow don't matter if he can't survive today.
With that and a lot of resignation, she began to carry out his plan.
- - - - - - -
The sound of heavy and rigid heavy was audible from a distance, along with another sound that would make an ordinary person fear immensely, the sound of metal being dragged, it was a high pitched screeching sound.
Suddenly the sound stopped abruptly when the burned knight stopped his steps completely, slowly raising his head he could "see" the obstacle that stood between him and his patrol.
As the burned knight looked at the intruder he began to slowly straighten up, when that happened a sharp metallic screeching began to resound in the silent city, with a quick movement he assumed a fighting stance as he prepared to eliminate the intruder.
Adolf, who got in the way of the burnt knight never expected this to happen, according to the little knowledge he had of this he always attacked while remaining hunched over and dragging his weapon, this would be the first time he saw him adopt a posture of Fight.
Adolf breathed in slowly as he normalized his heart rate, then he too took a fighting stance but compared to the burnt knight who was wearing medium-type armor that covered his entire body while carrying a moderately long, double-edged sword that was almost no cross.
The weapon carried by the burnt knight was "Jian" sword.
Neither the burned knight nor Adolf made the first move.
The burned knight at this moment gave the sensation of being like a sword ready to cut Adolf at any moment, while Adolf did not give any particular sensation and his "aura" was immensely inferior to that of the burned knight.
Adolf felt all his instincts scream to run as fast as possible and avoid at all costs facing the burning knight in front of him, but no matter how much he wanted to turn and run he couldn't do it, so he held his ground. fighting stance waiting for the burnt knight to launch an attack for him to counterattack the next moment.
Él stagnation lasted several minutes until the burned knight moved his right foot forward slightly, Adolf tensed his body and sharpened his instincts for what was to come.
But suddenly Adolf felt a great chill run through his body and obeying his instincts he moved as quickly as he could to one side, but it was at that moment that Adolf's body was pierced by the sword of the burnt knight
By sheer luck the sword did not pierce Adolf's heart and instead his left lung was destroyed.
Adolf began to feel like instead of air his lungs were beginning to fill with blood, but suppressing the instinct to go back to remove the sword that was stuck in his body, Adolf held it and with a quick step introduced it until he reached the hilt
He then jumped up and kicked the burned knight's helmet.
During all this, the burned knight did not know how to react to Adolf's actions, it was common sense to freeze or walk away when receiving such injuries, so when Adolf plunged the sword deeper into his body until he left the On the other side of his torso the burned knight was paralyzed for a second, but it was in that second that he received a kick to his helmet from Adolf.
When he managed to stabilize himself after taking a few steps back, he noticed something, the absence of the sword that he always held in his hands, "looking" at Adolf he saw how he took it out of his body before throwing it with all his might towards a building behind him. the.
The sword was stuck in a piece of burned and rotten wood, if the knight tried to remove it, he would do it easily and without any inconvenience, but there was a big problem. issue.
If he were to try to draw the sword he would have to turn his back on Adolf, in a fight turning his back on an enemy was no different than asking to be killed, a knight with his experience and skills naturally knew that so he instantly gave up his weapon and decided finish off Adolf with his bare hands.
Adolf wasted no time and bolted towards the burned knight.
The burnt knight also wasted no more time and also ran towards Adolf.
Both raised their fists with the intention of hitting the other, when their blows collided the burned knight remained intact while Adolf was forced to take a few steps back, but the worst thing was that his arm was totally destroyed.
The bones of Adolf's arm had been shattered and it tore into Adolf's flesh, various bone fragments could be seen from Adolf's bloodied arm that was bent in impossible directions.
The burning knight did not miss the opportunity and instantly launched a new attack, but it was at this moment that Adolf launched his attack again, both fists collided and again Adolf was pushed back with his arm torn to shreds.
But the burned knight noticed something strange immediately.
Adolf's arm that was destroyed was his left arm, so the knight took advantage of this and launched an attack on Adolf's left flank, but he fended off the incoming attack with his left arm, the same one that was destroyed. a few moments ago.
plic.
Hearing the sound of a drop of water falling, the burnt knight looked up to find the storm clouds, but he was greeted with a clear and cloudless sky, then he looked at his right arm and there he could see that some drops of blood were coming out from between the cracks in his armor.
He then looked back at Adolf only to see him with both arms in perfect condition, Adolf looked back at him before giving him a scornful smile.
Adolf, although he was smiling inwardly, was nervous, it is supposed that just like what happened to him, the burned knight should have at least major injuries on his arm but it was not like that, he only had a few drops of blood that did not affect his ability to combat in the least.
'It seems that his defenses are much greater than what he had originally thought.'
After that Adolf charged back towards the burned knight without caring about anything, when he arrived in front of him Adolf moved towards the right side of the burned knight and with the same turn on his own axis while launching a kick directly to the part back of the helmet.
Just as he was about to land Adolf's kick a hand appeared and stopped the attack, Adolf couldn't retreat in time and in the next moment the burnt knight grabbed Adolf's leg before lifting him up and down with great force.
BOOM!!!
Adolf's body hit the ground hard, a sound of flesh being crushed and bones being smashed resounded.
"COF cof".
Adolf coughed up a mouthful of blood as he felt the tremor of his internal organs, but as quickly as he appeared it disappeared.
The [Chaos Bugs] healed Adolf's body and returned it to his original state.
The burned knight noticed that the enemy in front of him had fully recovered, but this time he was not going to let go so he held onto Adolf's leg tightly before lifting his leg up and then lowering it with all his might onto Adolf's abdomen.
The burned knight's foot easily pierced Adolf's body, his internal organs and his spine were immediately turned into a bloody pulp.
Adolf held the burned knight's leg with all his might trying to get his foot out of his abdomen.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead but strangely they were red.
In the end, with a lot of effort, Adolf managed to get the foot of the burned knight out of his abdomen, then he rolled and with it he moved away and created some distance between himself and the burned knight, the knight looked at Adolf as if he were looking at a corpse, because he was not there was no one who could survive with such a wound on his body.
But then an unpleasant scene happened, the [Chaos Bugs] began to heal the wounds on Adolf's body, but it was not pretty to look at, hundreds of thousands of bugs of different shapes, sizes and colors but all bizarre looking. and indescribable twisted in the wound before making it disappear in the blink of an eye.
Then something happened that left the burned knight even more surprised, his leg with which he crushed Adolf and opened a hole in his abdomen was inexplicably injured, large lines created from his blood were created under the stunned gaze of the burned knight.
The burned knight then turned back to Adolf only to see Adolf smile with great mischief and happiness drawn on his blood soaked face.
