As Rahul canceled the darkness extraction, all the dark bony structure skeletons crumble bit by bit and disappeared in the air.
Timely, a prompt appeared before his eyes.
[World System]
[As a Darkness Ruler, you can't owe others]
[40 skeletons returned to the embrace of darkness instead of &^*&&&7]
Upon seeing the prompts, he became confused for a moment, "What is this? And this code word?" as he never heard or knew from anyone but since his attention demanding most on important matter, so he decided not to dwell on it. Instead, his focus shifted to the 19 E-rank players.
An idea sprang to mind: "If I use Darkness Extraction on these 19 E-rank players, their ranks should increase by 1."
With this thought, he didn't hesitate and activated Darkness Energy, converting mana points into darkness energy. Soon, his mana was drained from him. Without further delay, he consumed a mana potion, restoring all of his mana points.
With his mana replenished, Rahul approached an E-rank player and initiated Darkness Extraction. A smile lit up on his face as he observed the results of his actions.
[World System]
[You have supplemented Darkness Energy to the E-rank player instead of mana points]
[Darkness Skeleton rank increased by one]
[You have extracted a mid-D-rank skeleton]
[Darkness Extraction has taken effect]
[You can name this monster]
[Named monsters have a chance to grow]
Along with the prompts, skeletons also appeared before his eyes, but they consisted of darkness, as if they were blended with the shadows. However, Rahul, upon seeing this, was extremely satisfied because he was now cursed, so his skeletons were going to be a big help in his upcoming journey.
Satisfied, Rahul employed 'Darkness Extraction' on all remaining 18 E-rank players.
[World System]
[You have supplemented Darkness Energy to the E-rank player instead of mana points]
[Undead Skeleton rank increased by one]
[You have extracted 18 D-rank skeletons]
[Darkness Extraction has taken effect]
[You can name this monster]
[Named monsters have a chance to grow]
This entire process took around 30 minutes, but the benefits were also significant. Since he had temporarily cleared the hindrance, he decided to proceed to the second floor and focus his attention on the boss skeleton.
With this plan in mind, Rahul ordered all the skeletons to eliminate every undead skeleton. A multitude of notifications appeared before his eyes, culminating in a satisfying one.
[World System]
[You have defeated 30 peak F-rank undead skeletons]
[They dropped 30 stat crystals, 60 gold coins, and a heap of bones]
After defeating the normal skeletons, Rahul soon reached the boss location with his 19 early D-rank skeletons, and the results were also the same.
[You have defeated one peak F-rank boss undead skeleton]
[It dropped 5 F-grade stat crystals, 10 gold coins, and bones]
Rahul proceeded to use 'Darkness Extraction' on the piles of bones and also used 'Darkness Energy' in place of mana points.
[You have supplemented Darkness Energy to the peak F-rank skeleton (boss) instead of mana points.]
[Undead Skeleton (Boss) rank increased by two.]
[You have extracted peak D-rank skeletons.]
[Darkness Extraction has taken effect.]
[You can name this monster.]
[Named monsters have a chance to grow.]
A smile lit up on Rahul's face.
"This is the benefit of extracting the boss," he muttered.
He gazed at the skeletons standing before him and, without delay, compared the stats between the boss and the player.
[Darkness Skeleton: Can be named]
Rank: Mid D-rank
STATS:
Strength: [100/160]
Constitution: [80/160]
Intelligence: [47/80]
Spirit: [51/80]
[Darkness Skeleton: Can be named (Boss)]
Rank: Peak D-rank
STATS:
Strength: [130/160]
Constitution: [140/160]
Intelligence: [10/160]
Spirit: [101/160]
Upon seeing the boss's stats, all of Rahul's fatigue disappeared, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
"Man, even after the two-rank increment, all of the stats are still at max!"
But soon, he calmed down, and a capitalist idea came to his mind—yet he quickly dismissed it, saying, "Nah, it's still early."
He gazed toward the blank floor, "Let's try to tame every dungeon boss."
After numerous calculations, Rahul decided to attempt this feat within the week. But before embarking on that endeavor, he decided to celebrate his small success.
"Hurray!" he exclaimed, having single-handedly cleared the dungeon, which would have required a team effort for many players.
He then put away his concealed mask, drank an energy potion, and once again donned the mask on his face.
.....
This scene unfolded within the F-grade dungeon.
Regarding those who had sought his demise through these pawns, he vowed viciously, "I will make them pay," his expression growing even colder. However, he couldn't deny that he had also gained 19 mid-D-rank skeletons.
For now, though, he needed to regain his composure. It was already 8:30 p.m., and he found himself thinking about dinner.
25 minutes later…
After finishing dinner, he decided it was time to study.
Butler's POV
Inside the room, two men were present. One was busy reviewing the document, while the other knelt before the butler.
"Report to me without missing any details," the butler said calmly as he continued to review the documents.
The middle-aged man's body quivered, recognizing that the butler was extremely angry.
"Sir, the Devil Emperor cult sent 20 mercenaries into the dungeon."
"I didn't ask about the mercenaries; I asked about the 'young master's' details," the butler interrupted.
The man then proceeded to elaborate on everything that had transpired in the dungeon.
"The young master successfully eliminated all the mercenaries, including their leader, and his 'Profession' is extraordinary," he reported.
"Ohh!" The butler was surprised and thought to himself, "The young master didn't tell me anything."
"I believe you all know when to take action, and I want everything about today's events kept secret," the butler replied.
"Understood," the man said before disappearing from the room.
"It seems the young master doesn't wish to confide in me," the butler sighed, contemplating.
"It appears the young master has grown up now," he thought with a smile, reminiscing about past events.
