As I finished my thoughts, the thing showed itself. I immediately conjured modified
Lightning Arrows made them bigger, better, and more powerful, and then launched that went for their necks.
"Swiss Swiss Swiss Swiss
⚡️⚡️Clang! Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!⚡️⚡️"
clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…
A rain of Lightning Arrows struck them all rendering most of them dead and Their dead bodies fell down. like a bird whose wings have clipped, After all, it's a known fact that thunder and armor are something that shouldn't be around each other.
The sound of metal striking the floor rang loudly from everywhere.
clang, clang, clang!
And the Knights who didn't die had a hard time to even standing some even fall as it wasn't just about thunder damage where the arrows hit the armors it melted the armors by the sheer heat released from arrows.
The knight vigorously tried to move but the next second I chanted "Death Ray," and a black beam of light fired on one that was near me.
And just after the beam hit him he was gone there was no struggle he just died so do some experiments with new spells I cast multiple Death Rays, killing all of them.
As I wanted to see what it meant when the system described death damage. But to my shock they died there was no damage on the armor and it's not like I only fired one death ray. No, I fired multiple of them but there was no damage on the armor.
Which concluded that either there must be creatures with skin to see the damage or it just drained 1000 hp without any signs of physical damage.
thud thud thud thud thud thud
The quest was going smoothly so far.
Was it because of the restrictions?
The drop rate was good. He had only taken down thirty knights, but two of them dropped an item. It was a drop rate of 66.6%. I had not seen a rate like this anywhere else before.
If I didn't count Labyrinth but even then all its treasure was hidden. On top of that, most of the items dropped in Labyrinth and Dungeons were trash that was sold to the shop. This was not the case here.
You've found a "High-level Knight's Breastplate"
Would you like to acquire it?
'Of course, I would.'
The breastplate of the third knight I took out slowly disappeared then reappeared in front of my feet.
thud
The equipment's information popped up.
High-level Knight's Breastplate
Rarity: B
Type: Armor
Physical Damage Reduction +7%
(If your strength is below 80, your movements will be slowed.)
7% physical damage reduction! Combined with his natural buff, he could increase his damage reduction to a total of 37%.
'If I reach 100%, will I just become immune to physical damage?'
Highly unlikely.
I dismissed the thought after realizing that B-rank equipment only gave 7%. If the pattern stuck, A-rank equipment would probably not give a 30% or 40% reduction, so reaching 100% would be impossible By normal means at least.
'Still, every little bit counts.'
Gathering the boosts bit by bit would have a great impact down the line.
I held up the breastplate. As expected, the System asked me with a message,
Would you like to equip the "High-level Knight's Breastplate"?
Just looking at the armor, it was not something I wanted to be seen walking around in. If it wasn't for my experiences with "Gatekeeper's Necklace and Minotaur's Cape", I would've been a lot more hesitant...
'Yes.'
Ding~
The "High-level Knight's Breastplate" has been equipped.
The breastplate was invisible to the eye. I opened up his status screen to confirm the benefits.
Physical Damage Reduction: 37%
I felt my chest; I did not feel anything there. I twisted and stretched my body but did not feel the armor hinder me. It was almost as if it wasn't there. It was the same as the time I equipped the Gatekeeper's Necklace or cape on my back.
'Good.'
I turned my gaze to the other knight, crumpled up in a corner. It had many holes in its body and its melting, form sparked with the light of a drop.
You've found a "Leather Pouch"
Would you like to acquire it?
I stretched a hand to the light,
'Acquire.'
You've opened the leather pouch.
There was 30,000 gold inside.
You've acquired 30,000 gold.
'Huh?'
Without even appearing in my hands, the leather pouch was just opened. It appeared that this was a little different than the other items. I opened my inventory and confirmed that I had received the 30,000 gold.
Current Gold: 3,666,357
' This time thirty thousand in one go, eh? The last one gave twenty thousand'
This was good news. There were still many things I wanted to buy with gold, it was not just for me but also my shadow soldiers. and it would be good if gold kept dropping this way.
'Anything else I could take?'
They say there was no end to man's greed. I looked around with greedy eyes. The knights' armor was all filled with holes by me and did not look usable…
As I reached for one of the armor and was about to pick up the armor to store their inventory but before my hand could reach it, out of nowhere I felt a weird feeling and I stopped as if something could go wrong.
I didn't know what the feeling was and how it came to be. I did have some clue what it could be and to confirm it. my gaze fell upon their swords.
A clean longsword that looked new. Since it was not a dagger, I didn't plan on using it, but he could probably sell it in the shop or to other Hunters. I picked up the sword. However, the moment I raised the weapon, it rapidly rusted and then turned to dust in his hands.
"Shit…"
It happened in a blink of an eye.
'It won't let me obtain anything if it's not a drop?'
Regrettable, but there was nothing I could do. It was good that I didn't touch the armors to pick them up. My valuable soldiers could have turned into dust.
So this is how the skill works.
Ding~
[Intelligence stat has reached 200. You have gained the passive skill "Close Call"]
Ding~!

Skill Type: Passive
Mana Cost: None
AOE: None

Damage: None
Effect: Gives a bad feeling when the player is taking a wrong path or doing something that could give a loss be it items or exp or something related to the player or wasted time.
Note: The skill works in best effect when combined with 3 other skills of the same nature]
It's amazing after I just saw or felt for my case its effects I got after I leveled up by killing all the knights.
And now I know there are four more skills of the same nature. I can't wait to see what they might bring to my table.
I again lit a fireball on my hands.
Turning around the corner to where the knights had come from, I saw yet another deep, dark tunnel.
"..."
clang, clang, clang!
clang, clang, clang, clang!
After doing it I walked forward while also clearly hearing more knight's coming my way.
I smiled at the approaching knights.
It seemed that there was still a long way to go...
It was funny, but it almost seemed like I had to study the encounters like a test. After about one hour of wandering the Dungeon, I had come across 4 types of monsters:
Knights, Mages, Assassins, and Archers.
"Is it 'Stealth' this time?"
The assassin had disappeared before my eyes. Without panicking, I just stood in my place the enemy approaching from my back. And I can clearly sense his moment when my sense stat is way past 100.
"Bang Boom"
And when I sense that he was about to stab me I turned around and punched him so hard that his whole armor was obliterated.
You've defeated the Assassin.
After receiving not so much as a fatal blow but a death sentence, the assassin turned into black smoke without so much as a scream.
thud
All that was left in its place was the leather armor it was wearing.
'I wonder why they're all humanoid.'
I thought this every time I defeated one of them. I did not get to see their faces when they fought. The knights had their helmets, the assassins and archers their leather hoods, and the mages covered their heads with the hood of their robes.
I turned to continue on my path.
Suddenly, a flash blinded my vision. A mage that hid its presence had completed casting its light-element spell.
Bang!
It was an explosion that pierced the ears!
But I had already moved behind the mage.
"...!"
The mage detected a presence behind it and quickly began to cast a spell, but I had already brought down my fist down upon it. The mage disappeared with a cloud of black smoke.
thud
I stared at the robe that lost its owner.
'I was hit by an attack like that before, you see.'
In fact, I was already preparing to move when I felt the collection of mana from a distance. Jo Gyuhwan's light-element magic. I was not as naive as to be struck by an attack I was hit with before. This was the meaning of studying encounters.
'Not only that.'
Each of the monsters needed a specific stat to deal with.
Knights with strength, assassins with sense, archers with agility, and mages with the constitution.
Of course, this could always be a walk in the park if you can cast spells of mighty power, no number of these things could stop me.
You've opened the leather pouch.
There was 20,000 gold and a "canteen with warm water" inside.
You've acquired 20,000 gold and a "canteen with warm water".
I opened my inventory and took out the canteen and drank from it.
"Whew-"
'How much longer do I have to go?'
I am running out of time before it would be forced teleported into the penalty zone.
I dropped the empty canteen and stood with my hands on my hip. It's been 1 and half hours since I started the quest.
'Status screen.'
Ding~
Fatigue: 02
His fatigue had almost not gone up.
thwip-!
A sharp sound flew across the air! With my agility stat slowing down the world so slow that I saw the arrow that was heading towards me at the speed of a tortoise, I was easily able to grab the arrow that was flying towards me.
grab!
crack!
The breastplate caved with his whole armor devastated at my punch, and the knight peace struck on the wall.
Ding~
You've defeated the Knight.
You've leveled up!
Finally, I leveled up again, this should be my 70th target that I killed after my last level-up. It's getting harder and harder to level up with every level.
Thankfully, they did drop a lot of items.
Equipment
High-level Knight's Breastplate (B)
Mid-level Assassin's Shoes (B)
Low-level Archer's Gloves (C)
High-level Mage's Ring (B)
High-level Assassin's Ring (A- -)
Other than what I had equipped, there were several items that I put away in his inventory as well.
Plus the gold I get is also a huge amount.
'Wish they dropped a usable weapon.'
Unfortunately, the daggers dropped by the assassins, while having a similar attack power as Casaka's Poisoned Fang, did not have any special effects so could not be considered an upgrade.
'Alright, what've you got?'
I stretched a hand toward the light from the fallen knight.
Ding~
High-level Knight's Gauntlet
Rarity: B
Type: Armor
Physical Damage Reduction +3%
Additional effect: Protects the hands from injury
