It turns out that the werewolf Kabarou had such a background. With the use of my "Insight" skill, I was able to gather all the information about him. I must say, the "Insight" skill that the system rewarded me with is truly a marvelous thing, extremely useful indeed.
If it weren't for "Insight" revealing that Kabarou would be immobilized for five seconds after using his ultimate move, I would have been running away from his insane attack by now.
I wonder why Kabarou didn't try to take me out during those five seconds of immobility. But there was no time to waste, so I rushed forward and unleashed a barrage of attacks with my "Double Strike" skill on the immobilized Kabarou.
200, -400, -230, -410. I landed several critical hits, dealing him severe damage. I noticed that my critical hits have a higher chance of landing on slow-moving monsters like Kabarou, especially when my agility and luck stats are high. Each strike was precise, and every hit drew blood. My attack speed was swift and continuous, more like that of an assassin than a knight. It was insane!
400, -500. I have to give it to Kabarou for the power and speed of his two ultimate moves. As soon as the immobilization wore off, Kabarou swung his giant axe and used "Storm of Fury" and "Cleave" in quick succession. The sound of the attacks was like a thunderclap, dealing me a whopping 900 damage and sending me flying.
I must admit, I'm impressed by Kabarou's skills. But instead of feeling intimidated, I'm actually happy to see him use those ultimate moves. It's like Kabarou is giving me the chance to test my skills again, especially now that he's immobilized once more.
I quickly got up, drank a health potion, and launched a relentless assault on the helpless Kabarou. The "Insight" skill also informed me that Kabarou had become more intelligent, having gradually evolved into a humanoid form. But what kind of intelligence was that? Kabarou only used his two ultimate moves again after his immobilization wore off, making himself an easy target for me to practice my combat skills.
This was clearly a suicidal move! If that's what intelligence is, then I must be a great intellectual.
Ha-ha, I laughed triumphantly! As Kabarou's life dwindled to less than a thousand, he became smarter and stopped using his "impressive" ultimate moves. Instead, he resorted to ordinary attacks. But Kabarou had no idea that his high attack power was nothing compared to my high defense.
I felt like I was on top of the world. My skeletal blade became a blur as I attacked with renewed vigor, until Kabarou let out a final cry and died. His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to accuse me of something, but in reality, his ultimate moves were of no threat to a knight like me. In fact, they became his own downfall.
"Congratulations, player Stone City. Your level has increased to 22. Your health and magic points have increased by 10, and you have 5 attribute points to allocate."
"Congratulations, player Stone City, for defeating Kabarou the werewolf. Your reputation has increased by 30."
Haha, while wandering around the third floor of the Blackstone Tower, I cleared out all the monsters and two bosses on the floor, which resulted in me leveling up.
Days when no one is competing for the monsters are truly delightful. I couldn't help feeling proud of myself when I picked up the few pieces of equipment dropped by the wolfman Kabarou.
Of course, we can't let the body of the wolfman Kabarou go to waste, so I used my "gathering" skill on it.
"Ding! Congratulations to player Stone City for obtaining a low-level earth attribute inner pill. Proficiency in the gathering skill has improved."
"Ding! Congratulations to player Stone City for obtaining a wolfman's tooth. Proficiency in the gathering skill has improved."
The low-level earth attribute inner pill is an inner organ that can only be obtained from monsters at level 30 or above. It contains the energy from the monster's cultivation and is a medium-level material that can be used for forging weapons and refining medicine. Its uses are quite extensive.
Compared to wolf teeth, wolfman teeth are sharper and are a medium-level material that can be used for forging weapons. They also have a certain chance of piercing armor.
Medium-level materials are not bad at all. I'll toss them into my backpack and take a look at the equipment dropped on the third floor of the Blackstone Tower. I won't bother with the blue equipment dropped by the small monsters at levels 25 to 30, but I'll only look at the gold equipment dropped by the two bosses, which are top-tier items.
The Cloak of Dark Ghosts: A ghost weapon, level requirement of 20, the effect is unclear and cannot be applied.
Awesome! This female skeleton mage is really generous. She just gave me a ghost weapon, and it's the cloak, one of the rarest items. I bet this cloak would fetch a fortune if I sold it.
I'll set a teleportation point here right away. Female skeleton mage, you're mine now. If I can get my hands on another two or three Cloaks of Dark Ghosts in the future, I'll be rich.
My idea is absolutely correct, but unfortunately, the female skeleton mage is a boss for a mission, the only one, and it can only be formed by absorbing one hundred years of pure Yin demonic energy. Their number is extremely rare.
Skill Book: Dream Body. This advanced skill has been missing for a long time and is a simplified version of the legendary skill that provides physical immunity. There is a certain chance of immune to physical attacks.
Earlier, I admired the skills of the Skeleton Witch's Dream Body, but unexpectedly she generously bestowed this skill upon me. I am overjoyed by my love for the Skeleton Witch, it's truly a dream come true.
In haste, I opened the Dream Body skill book.
"Stone City, do you want to learn the advanced skill 'Dream Body'? This skill book can only be learned once, and after learning the skill, the book will disappear."
"Yes, I want to learn," I exclaimed emotionally, with tears in my eyes.
"Ding-dong, congratulations to player Stone City for learning the advanced skill Dream Body, and increasing your reputation by 30 points."
Dream Body: Level 1, 0/50,000, a passive skill that requires no specific qualifications, providing a 10% immunity to physical attacks.
What's this, a wooden box? I wonder what it could contain. Upon opening it, I discovered a necklace emitting a soft blue light.
Kuikun Necklace: a sentimental item exchanged between the merchant Wang Wu and his beloved wife. It's a quest item with an unknown effect that cannot be used.
Hehe, I obtained the Kuikun Necklace, which means I have completed my mission. The Skeleton Witch's loot only consisted of these three items, but the Werewolf Kabarou gifted me with a few good items.
Kabarou's Board Axe: A golden equipment that requires a level 30 warrior and can only be used with both hands. Its effect is unknown and cannot be used.
Isn't this the same axe that Werewolf Kabarou held? It's over half my height and the axe head is wide, making it look intimidating. I have experienced its power and know its value. It's a weapon that only warriors who can wield it with both hands can use. If I use it, it will undoubtedly add to my prestige.
Kabarou's Boots: A golden equipment that requires level 30 and its effect is unknown, it cannot be applied.
Werewolf Kabarou surprisingly gave me two golden level 30 equipment pieces. Higher-level equipment is harder to come by, so I naturally understand the value of these two pieces.
Looking at these few high-quality equipment items in my backpack, my journey through the third floor of Blackstone Tower was truly fruitful.
