I release a sigh as the world around me changes. The temple let me train for three days. It is not that long, but it is enough for me to train and familiarize myself with the technique. It is even level up from the intense training I have done.
[Runic Witch Spear Technique] [Complete] [C-Rank] [Level: 2/30]
At the moment, it is a C-rank technique. When I first got this, it was at F-rank because it was too incomplete, and even after I maxed out the level, it only got to E-rank. However, after you complete the technique, its true rank is SS-rank. A technique or spell will be considered a National Treasure at that rank.
This technique belongs to Scáthach, the famous warrior from Celtic Mythology. She is a famous warrior who teaches an even more famous hero, Cu Chulainn. She is a spear master and Witch who can use Runic Magic.
For now, I need to buy some weapons. Let's get to the Hunter Association.
===
"Welcome to the Hunter Association! What can I do for you?"
I put my identification on the table and said.
"Can I access the shop? I need a weapon."
She checks the ID and nods her head.
"Of course! Please follow me."
I follow her to the back and enter the weapon shop. While the Hunter Association is not the best place to obtain a weapon, the dungeon is better. However, they have a decent blacksmith. They can give a newbie an edge against the monsters in the dungeon.
"What kind of weapon do you want?"
"I prefer a spear, but depending on the price, I am also willing to take a dagger. Before you offer something expensive, I am a beginner and don't have that much money yet."
She nods and takes me to the newbie section. I look around for a few seconds before taking one of the spears. I twirl it around and nod.
[Steel-tipped Spear] [E-Rank]
"Of course! It is seven hundred dollars."
I wince a little and nod my head. I take out my card and pay for the spear.
"Anything else you need? Armor, maybe?"
"Ah, I already have armor," I lied. "Spear will do."
"I see. Then please be careful in the dungeon. Please ask us if there is anything else we can do for you."
"Of course."
I leave the building, thinking of which dungeon I need to conquer. There are many of them here, and I don't know which one I should visit first. There are also many hidden dungeons that the association never discovers. Let's start with that.
Which one is the nearest? I am in Denver, the nearest one should be at Bailey. It should take an hour or so. Better get moving, then.
===
I arrive in the middle of a small clearing in the middle of a forest. I can see the small blue vortex in front of me. That means this dungeon has not yet been discovered, and all the treasure inside will be mine.
I take a deep breath and walk near the dungeon. I can see the portal open up, and I enter the dungeon. Walking through the dungeon, I see the world change into a cavern.
Before I can take even a step forward, I can see five Lizardmen march toward me. They are holding weapons in their hands. I grin and take out my weapon from my back. I let my mana flow through my body and spear, creating a flame-like pattern from the tip of my spear.
With a grin on my face, I dash forward. I thrust my spear at the incoming Lizardmen. The monster tries to block my attack, but it is too slow to block my incoming attack, and my spear pierces through its head.
After doing that, I twirl my spear and block the incoming attack from the other Lizardmen. I swing my spear and cut the arm of the Lizardman to my left before I thrust my spear at it. After that, I kick the second Lizardman and throw my spear at it.
I jump away from another attack from the remaining Lizardmen and use my original Unique Skill.
"Recall!"
My spear flies toward me and smiles a little as it pierces the Lizardman who stands between me and my weapon. This is the power of my first Unique Skill. It lets me recall all the things I throw at the speed at which I throw them toward the location where I stand.
It is a great skill to create a trap, but at the same time, it is dangerous even to me because I need to dodge my own attack if I throw a hundred items around.
After catching my spear, I twirl my spear to disarm the Lizardman and thrust my spear at the monster.
I release a sigh and wipe the sweat off my forehead. The key fighting style of [Runic Witch Spear Technique] is movement. It is a relentless attack that overwhelms even the strongest being. Because of this reason, I need great agility and endurance. Endurance is my stamina and durability, while agility is my speed and reaction time.
I open my status window as I know that I just level up.
|Adrian Bailey| |Level: 5|
{Strength: 21}
{Endurance: 17}
{Agility: 18}
{Mana: 25}
{Stats Points: 20}
|Unique Skill: 3|
{Recall (C-Rank)}
{Temple of Time and Creation (EX-Rank)}
{Record of Creation (EX-Rank)}
Without hesitation, I add ten points in agility and ten points in endurance.
{Endurance: 17 → 27}
{Agility: 18 → 28}
I can feel my body getting more durable and lighter. I jump around, twirl my spear for a few seconds, and nod my head. Not bad. Let's continue.
I walk through the cavern dungeon and encounter another group of Lizardmen. This time, there are ten of them. I grin and dash forward. Appear in front of one of them and thrust my spear. After killing it, I jump and swing my spear at another one. I cut the Lizardman's head, and as I land on the ground, I throw my spear at the next Lizardman.
"Recall!"
I catch my spear and twirl my spear to block the incoming attack before swinging my spear to cut the Lizardman. I duck to dodge another attack and swing my spear upward to disarm the Lizardman before thrusting my spear, killing the Lizardman.
I grunt a little when one of them manages to sneak its way into my personal space and cut my back. I turn around and swing my spear, cutting the neck of the Lizardman who manages to hurt me.
I jump away from them and throw my spear at one of them. The Lizardman dodges, but I use my skill as it charges at me.
"Recall."
My spear pierces through its head, and I catch my spear. I dash toward the remaining Lizardmen and thrust my spear. I dodge and counterattack when they attack me. It does not take long for me before I kill all of them.
I release another sigh and see I get a drop item this time. I can see the scales on the floor. I put them in my bag and move forward. They will get a decent price when I sell them.
I need to get deeper to get better drops.
