Chapter 41 - Charmander VS Infant Dragon!
Ethan woke up early on the second day.
His first action upon waking up was to plunge into the dungeon.
His objective was to test Charmander's strength, as he had high hopes for it, being his first creation.
Moreover, he made several adjustments to Charmander last night.
After entering the dungeon, Ethan felt a bit excited.
After all, this was his first time controlling a cursed corpse to fight.
As for letting the cursed corpse fight on its own, Ethan can't do it yet. He needs to be more proficient in the technique before he can try it.
Upon entering the dungeon, Ethan stopped on the first floor.
Today's goal was to test Charmander's combat capability, much like a newbie adventurer, the initial targets for testing would naturally be the weakest goblins.
"Ya ya ya—"
Shortly after stopping, goblins started spawning out of the dungeon wall.
Ethan looked at these green-skinned little monsters and chuckled. They spawned at the right time.
"Swish—"
A half-human-height fissure tore open the space in front of Ethan, and then a round-headed orange-skinned Charmander walked out, albeit with some stiff movements.
Ethan had grown more proficient with 'Imaginary Space' and 'Imaginary Number Magic.'
Before, Ethan stored weapons in the 'Imaginary Space'. Now, he has changed his mind.
Instead of storing weapons, he wants to store an army of cursed corpses.
When the time comes, he will wave his arm and summon thousands of troops!
"Ya—"
For goblins, it didn't matter whether it was humans or other beings; they were all enemies, objects to be killed.
Thus, the goblin charged towards the Charmander, wielding a wooden stick, intending to bash it.
"Snatch—"
"Plop—"
In the next second, Charmander raised its tiny claws, looking adorable, but when it struck down, it tore apart the goblin's body.
The nearby goblins were startled, and they all froze, too scared to move forward.
Although monsters lack intelligence, they still have the basic instinct of 'self-preservation,' the most classic example was the incident when the protagonist Bell and the female lead Ais met, due to her pursuing the fleeing Minotaurs.
"Tackle and then Crunch it!"
The Charmander's body consisted of materials dropped by various monsters, bones forged from metal alloy, and its core made of Magic Gem worth five million Valis, plus filling and connecting with black mud.
Even if it stands still, the goblins wouldn't be able to land a single scratch on Charmander.
"Plop—"
At this moment, Charmander chomped down half of the goblin's head.
Watching this scene, Ethan felt joy well up inside, Charmander's teeth were all made from Hellhound's Fangs, which only appear in mid to upper floors.
Its sharpness was undoubtedly high.
In a matter of seconds, all the goblins were swept away.
This overwhelming victory couldn't show Charmander's strengths, so Ethan continued to advance with Charmander.
During this time, Ethan's control over the cursed corpse became more skilled and smoother.
Various goblins, orcs, and killer ants, and a series of monsters were killed under the claws of his Charmander.
Of course, some monsters couldn't be handled easily, like War Shadows, whose agility was significantly above Charmander, making it difficult to attack them.
During this period, Ethan also discovered some other problems, which he noted in his mind, planning to review them after he got back.
'Boom—'
On the twelfth floor, as Charmander tackled, its round little head directly killed an imp.
With dark appearances and slender bodies, they looked malnourished, but these little creatures were very agile, easily sneaking and attacking from behind if one was not careful, though their strength was not considered strong.
'Boom—Boom—'
In the mist-like surroundings, a vibrating sound came from the distance.
'Roar—'
A pair of crimson eyes appeared, and a roar came from there.
Ethan looked over, in mid-air was a massive figure, but after a moment, he could clearly see the other party's appearance.
It was a creature with a body structure somewhat like a mini dinosaur monster, with something similar to dragon horn on its head, but no wings.
At first glance, it looked like a large lizard.
An Infant Dragon, a rare and powerful monster found in the upper floors, tough for an ordinary lv1 adventurer to deal with.
However, after being defeated, it would drop a lot of precious materials, such as its hide, teeth, bones, etc., which could all sell for a good price in the market, after all, having the word 'dragon' associated with it naturally wouldn't be bad.
And the material of Charmander's hide was also made from Infant Dragon's hide.
In a way, the two even had a bit of 'similarity'.
"This is indeed a good test subject."
Looking at this Infant Dragon, Ethan smiled, he was worried about not having a suitable target for experiment, and here it was, coming at the right time.
'Roar—'
At this moment, the Infant Dragon let out an angry roar, and then charged with heavy steps.
The opponent's size far exceeded Charmander's.
However, Ethan was confident. After all, Charmander was not cheap, and it had also been strengthened by Ethan's Cursed Technique.
If it failed, then Ethan would have to reconsider the effectiveness of his technique.
"Tackle—"
'Boom—'
Directly a fierce tackle, this sudden attack directly repelled the Infant Dragon by two steps.
However, the size advantage was there, Charmander's hit did not actually cause any damage.
'Boom—'
At this time, the Infant Dragon began to condense flames in its mouth, and then directly sprayed it out.
Charmander was directly engulfed by the flames, but Ethan was not worried at all, even a slight smile appeared on his face.
As the user of 'Cursed Technique: Puppet Manipulation,' Ethan could control everything about the cursed corpse and perceive all changes in the cursed corpse.
The Infant Dragon's flames also didn't cause much damage to Charmander.
After all, Charmander's skin, after being strengthened by the black mud and his Cursed Technique, was just as tough as the Infant Dragon in front of it, or maybe even tougher.
With its superior hardware and innate advantage, Charmander is truly in an unbeatable position.
"Crunch—"
'Boom—'
Charmander burst out of the flames and directly bit the Infant Dragon's neck.
'Roar—'
Being bitten on the neck, the Infant Dragon also let out a roar.
