Blood Crystal

Leo quickly went to the front of the two corpses in the corner and searched their bodies thoroughly to see if there were any useful things to save him from his current situation.

And when he found another sword and two armguards from the dead body and touched them, a new message popped up before him.

''What +30

After seeing the status of the sword and Armguard ,he equipped them immediately with his arms.

Then he heard a sound

"Awoo!

And looked back ,then found out that, three wolves are coming out from the darkness.

He didn't panic and held the two swords tightly in his hands and observing them closely as they are coming slowly towards him.

These Blood wolves were 1 meter tall and looked extremely threatening with their mouths opened and fangs revealed.

Leo got the smell of blood in the air, and he realized that these Wolves must have smelled the blood and came for him.

when these wolves saw their dead kin. They were both shocked and angered, and glared at Leo with anger.

For some reason Leo not liked the way these wolves were looking at him. It's like their gaze telling him that how dare a weak human like you kill our kin. There were looking at him like he was their prey.

which made Leo very angry. How dare you to look at me like that.

Come on then,

''I will show you'' who is the prey and who is the hunter?

"Awoo!

"Awoo!

"Awoo!

The blood Wolves howled like crazy and rushed at Leo from three different directions (Left, front, right) . Instead of retreating, gripping the swords tightly, Leo also charged forward.

when the blood wolf at the front came near Leo, he did not dodge. Instead, he used the sword in his right hand to stab at the wolf chest. And swung the sword in his left hand in an horizontal arc to towards the lift side wolf neck.

'Ding,

['You've killed a Blood Wolf'.]

[You Gained Experience points.]

Just like that, the blood wolf at left side died. But the one at front didn't died as it catch his sword with his mouth.

However, Leo was not afraid at all. He immediately let off his sword and swung the sword in his left hand in an horizontal arc to towards the blood wolf neck. Separating the wolf's head from its body.

'Ding,

['You've killed a Blood Wolf'.]

[You Gained Experience points.]

At this moment, the blood wolf at right side also pounced forward and tried to bite his shoulder. Leo used his right hand armguard to block it.

Leo felt a wave of pain, but at this moment, he had no time to think about it. He gripped the sword in his left hand tightly and stabbed it at the blood wolf's chest, and the blood wolf gradually loosened its bite and fell to ground.

Leo worried that it wasn't dead yet, so he went up to stab it a few more times.

'Ding,

['You've killed a Blood Wolf'.]

[You Gained Experience points.]

[You have leveled up.]

[All stats increased by 1.]

[You get 2 Free stat points and 1 skill point.]

After system notification Confirming that the blood wolf was indeed dead, he finally let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, Liu Yan felt a warm current flow through his entire body. The strength in his body had clearly improved.

Other than that, he felt that his body had become much lighter, which meant that his speed had also increased significantly.

When he looked at himself again, he realized that he was covered in blood, in a sorry state.

Leo checked his forearm. Under the protection of the armguard, he hadn't been injured, which was a relief. The armguard had decent defense. To think it could withstand the bite of a blood wolf.

After his second battle with beasts, Leo gradually gained some confidence.

Although the beasts were powerful, they were not invincible. As long as he could overcome his fear, they were actually not that terrifying.

It would be fine if he encountered weaker beasts, but if he encountered a stronger beast than himself, it would be troublesome.

"It seems that I have to continue improving my strength. Although my strength has increased with level up, it's still not enough", Leo thought to himself.

After roughly cleaning up the blood on his body and putting away the swords, Leo got up and was about to leave.

But when he noticed the wolves corpses.

Hang on, do these things give away things like magic crystals, too?'

The sudden thought popping up in his head stopped him in his tracks.

Monsters appearing within the dungeon all possessed one, or sometimes, several, magic crystals in them. If one got lucky, a Rune stone might drop, too.

Magic crystals could be used for a variety of purposes and they alone exchanged hands for large sums; no need to even mention the Rune stones, which could be used by Awakeners to learn brand new skills.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the reasons why Awakeners participated in raids was not just because of the promised payment from the related guilds, but also these magic crystals, as well.

But, I don't remembered, anyone obtaining a magic crystal inside the ''Temple of Awakens'' from dead Leo memories.

Feeling a little hopeful, he sliced open the Blood wolf's stomach, but it turned out to be a waste of time. It seemed that these creatures were fundamentally different from the regular monsters.

Leo dusted his hands and was about to stand back up, but then….

"Mm?"

He spotted something glittering within the dead Lycan's Heart. So, he sliced opened the wolf's Heart. In it a red crystal was emitting a red beam of light. When Leo reached out, a new message popped up before him.
