I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

Chapter 61

61 – Drop Items

“Guruaa——!!!”

I watched the play of the steel mane burst out with a roar mixed with feeble brain energy.

Blue sparks constantly emanated from his whole body, scattering electric light.

The spark must have burned dirty impurities, and its fur had changed from a dark gray to a pure silver gray.

Every time his fingernails curled in the air, the blue afterglow remaining in the trail was dimly shining.

Muscles activated to the point where you could immediately see them pulsating on the skin, taught that the guy’s physical abilities had risen to the extreme.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this guy is a completely different monster than before.

And, looking at that guy……

Ssiik-

Laugh like a beast that found a desirable prey.

******

“Guruaa——!!!”

In the glow of the steel mane, Cantata let out a roar of joy without realizing it, intoxicated with the tremendous power felt throughout its body.

It is no exaggeration to say that the unknown power that pulsates wildly and invigorates the limbs is truly a blessing from God.

The subordinates must have noticed that kind of power, and all at once let out a howl filled with feelings of awe.

“””Ahhhhh——!!!”””

And Cantata, who gained great confidence from the awe of his subordinates and the enormous power felt in his whole body, glared at the hated enemy who took the life of his cherished concubine with eyes overflowing with murderous intent.

“…….”

Her lover’s enemy must have felt fear from the divine power of the rain clouds that shook her whole body violently and from her blazing murderous intent.

“Grue, Grureuk!”

Cantata drew a sadistic smile as he looked at the enemy who was holding his breath and paying attention to his every move.

He tried to stand tall, as if he was trying to hide the fear he felt….

It is clear that he is in deep despair.

He must be regretting that he hurt his beloved concubine, and he must be lamenting over his arrogance that ridiculed and attacked him.

But even so, he would never have mercy on himself.

Because only the painful death of a hateful enemy can soothe the soul of a miserable concubine.

This is because only the blood and flesh of the arrogant can make up for his damaged authority.

I’ll rip off his limbs, open his belly, take out his entrails, and tear him to shreds.

Chewing the intestines while listening to the pain-filled cries of the enemy must be the sweetest thing you’ve ever eaten….

Just like that, the moment when Cantata tried to attack Seonwoo Lee with her saliva hanging down imagining the communion to come after the battle……

“Hey, battery kid. Are you using a good one?”

“……That’s right?”

Seonwoo Lee smiled mischievously and addressed him.

“Grrr… Kreuaaa…!!!”

The moment he was about to run, he flinched and stopped at the spoken words, but soon after thinking that Lee Seon-woo had lost his mind in fear, the cantata rushed forward like a flash battle with lightning around him again──

Bahahahahah—!!!

“──Kang?!?!”

──I was struck by Lee Seon-woo’s punch, and bounced back faster than I had charged.

“So…, Let me share it with you.”

Lee Seon-woo’s fist saying that——

Kurleung─!!!

──Roughly shimmering ‘blue lightning’ was wrapped around it.

******

Craft!

“I got better than expected.”

Looking at the ‘blue lightning’ all over my body, I smiled with satisfaction.

I thought I would be able to copy the gift in this boss battle, but I got a higher grade gift than expected.

Yes. I already knew that this dungeon’s boss, Steel Mane’s play gift, would bloom.

‘To be precise, ‘certain conditions’ were met to make them bloom with certainty.’

I called up the part where the specific conditions were written in the strategy guide.

Diring!

『The boss of this dungeon, Steel Grinding Nol, is said to have an extremely rare chance of blooming attribute-type gifts….

In fact, there is a hidden condition that makes the Gift of Steel Grind Gnoll bloom with certainty.

The first condition is to ‘provoke the play of the steel grind as a by-product of the singular object, making it a one-on-one duel situation’

The second condition is to make the iron mane gnoll a ‘dying’ state with an elemental attack.』

『When the above conditions are met, Steel Mane Gnoll will bloom a gift of the same attribute as the one that drove him to death. )

It is said that the closer you are to death, the higher the grade of the gift that blooms. (The highest grade is C+ grade)』

‘That’s why I deliberately didn’t use his weakness, fire magic, and used brain magic to put him to death. Fire-type gifts can be found fairly easily, but lightning-type gifts are rare, so there are not many opportunities to copy them.’

I uploaded the gift information I copied this time.

Gift: [Absorption]

Rating: B

Proficiency: (00.00)%

– Increases resistance and affinity for brain properties.

– Absorb brain-attributed mana to strengthen physical abilities.

– The more magical power of the lightning attribute that is absorbed, the higher the body strengthening rate.

‘In the strategy guide, it was written that the gift that the boss can bloom is up to grade C+, but I never thought he would bloom a grade B gift…. Thanks to that, I copied the B grade gift.’

… No, was it thanks to the brain magic that had been added and subtracted to a certain extent as directed by the And put it right on the verge of death?

‘If you look at it numerically, it had only 1 stamina left. ‘

That’s why the highest-grade gift that other users have never seen before came out.

That’s when I was looking at the system window,

“That, Grrr…?”

I heard a trembling cry from somewhere and turned my head to look at the source of the cry…

There, I saw a guy with one hand on the belly that had been hit by the counter and standing up, with a look of astonishment that I could tell at a glance, despite the dog’s head.

“That’s right…?!”

As if someone had seen something unbelievable, the guy pointing at the lightning bolts wrapped around me with his fingers trembling.

His face said, ‘Why is that coming from you… ?’ It seemed that the inner thoughts were written.

To that guy, I said with a friendly smile.

“Thank you. I got this thanks to you. I will use it well in the future!”

“That’s right…?!”

A guy who opens and closes his mouth at my gratitude and can’t hide his devastated feelings.

I didn’t care about that guy’s feelings and continued talking.

“Ah, thank you for that too. Besides this, is there anything else you have to give me?”

Kwaak-

With a bright smile, I drew the longsword from the weapon predator, holding it firmly in one hand.

‘「Explosive thunderstorm」.’

Kwareung──!!!

From noble mtl dot com

I used intermediate brain magic on myself, and absorbed it with [Breaking Lightning], Raising my physical abilities to the extreme.

“You know what? They say that the materials of monsters that have awakened gifts are very useful. There are no unused parts. That’s why…”

“…Grrr.

Wheek-!

Perhaps he sensed something ominous, before I could finish my words, the guy wrapped himself in lightning and desperately ran away.

That speed was the fastest I’ve ever seen, but….

It’s already too late.

“So… Leave everything from head to toe.”

I caught up with him in an instant with my [Absorption]-Enhanced physical ability, and struck the sword.

Title:

Rating: C

Description: A person who hunted thousands of gnolls in a short period of time and became their nightmare.

– Grants Status to gnolls encountered.

I was sitting on top of a mountain of gnoll corpses, looking at system messages.

The state has finished hunting all the gnolls around here.

The remaining remnants are also hunting while flying around.

‘… Hmm. Perhaps it’s because it’s a real battle, compared to the effort put in, the growth rate of ability and function is quite good.’

Not only fighting in this dungeon, but also fighting the platinum mercenary Gapera Denmari in the mercenary guild, but his magic proficiency went up a lot. It must have been thanks to the maddening use of magic.

Perhaps it was because he copied the posture of Duka, famous for the javelin, as much as possible, his skill LV went up 2 at once.

Of course, the higher the skill LV or ability level, the faster the skill level will increase.

‘Come to think of it, didn’t I say that you get shop points for catching named or boss monsters? The guy I hunted this time seems to have doubled his points, probably because he became a named after having his gift bloomed while he was a boss.”

We will continue to attack dungeons in the future, so the points we collect little by little will become an amount that cannot be ignored later.

At that time, I saw white noodles flying from far away.

“Beep! Beep, beep! (Master! I caught all of them! I also collected all the magic stones and put them in the subspace!)”

“Oh! As expected, Baek Yi is the best!”

The white face sitting on my shoulder told me what he had done and sent me eyes full of anticipation. I praised Baekmyeon and gently stroked Baekmyeon’s head.

“Beep ♡ (nihihi♡)

The back side that I like to twist my body.

I looked down at the cute figure on the white side with satisfaction… I moved my feet to the place where I hunted the steel-maned gnoll, Cantata.

Ugh-!

At the place where Cantata was hunted, there was a sphere the size of a human torso, tinged with mysterious light, floating in the air.

That is the ‘dungeon core’.

It is the source of dungeons that maintains the other world called dungeons.

Except for very special cases, it is impossible to find the dungeon core because it basically exists in a different phase.

So, first of all, it is necessary to make the dungeon core appear, and the method is to connect the core and the thickest line to the monster…

──Generally speaking, if you hunt a boss monster, the dungeon core will appear in the current phase.

And if you destroy the core that appeared….

“The dungeon is closed!”

I raised my sword and struck it at the core.

Weiying—!

Immediately after I felt a very strange touch at the tip of the sword, as if it were neither solid, liquid, nor gas.

The dungeon core spewed out an enormous amount of light, shattered, and began to melt into the air.

And when the dungeon core disappeared, what remained was….

It was a gate leading out of the dungeon and a ‘ring’.

‘… Oh. Is this the ‘drop item’ that appears when the dungeon core is destroyed?’

Drop items. A lump of chaos created by the remnants of the dungeon core being destroyed.

─So-called reward for clearing the dungeon.

Because the form of the drop item is not fixed, it is said that the item that comes out is sometimes equipment, sometimes potion, and sometimes even material.

And the grade of the item that comes out is the same as the level of difficulty of the dungeon you conquered, or it differs by about one step.

‘To put it simply, this dungeon was a C-grade dungeon, so the drop item’s grade is between C- and C+.’

I picked up the ring and used the [Emotion] Gift.

Diring!

『Item: NO. 1 Red Flame Ruby.

Rating: C+

Description: An impressive ring with a bright red ruby that looks like a burning flame.

This is the first ring in a series of seven colors made by an unknown craftsman of magic tools.

It’s a magic tool that’s powerful enough with just one, but… It is said that when all 7 rings are collected, the final piece created by the artisan using all his abilities can be obtained.

– Slightly reduces magic power consumption when using fire-type abilities.

– Slightly enhances control over flames when using flame-type abilities.

– Slightly enhances the purity of firearms when using fire-type abilities.

– 【NO. 0】 : The true form of the ring that appears when 7 colors are gathered.

‘… A set item?’

I gripped the ring tightly with a little pounding heart.

The ring was very useful as it had only the functions necessary for a flame-type supernatural person.

More than anything else, what touched my heart was that it was one of the items in the series.

Because, actually, I really like collecting set items like this.

It could be said that he has a bit of a collector’s temperament.

“…Okay. Let’s go to the next dungeon.”

Even if it wasn’t so, I was going to continue raiding the dungeon until it was time to return to the academy.
