Chapter IV: Successful Escape

While Algard continued to kill monsters and absorb their souls, the Soul Eater class finally changed.

[ Class: ..., Soul Eater (Medium)]. But what surprised Algard was that weak monsters stopped losing souls, and now he had to kill monsters up to Lv. 10. At the moment, about 80 monster souls have been absorbed by him.

"How strong I have become thanks to the system"

Continuing to destroy the entire population of monsters in this dungeon, Algard finally collected the hundredth soul, after which, most likely, subsequent evolution will be available to him.

[ 100 Souls Absorbed ]

[ Evolution is available! ]

[ Evolution process started ]

"Looking forward to it!"

[ Evolution is complete! ]

[ Class: Demon Bear ]

[ New Skills: Massive Claws [B] ]

"Sort of... Not bad"

Feeling a surge of strength, Algard slowly followed the scent of the only remaining monster. Sensing the sign of victory over this gate, Algard with a roar killed the [Furious Bull] with one blow, receiving a bright red soul from him.

"Hmm? Something new.."

By absorbing it, Algard gained +20 to strength. Algard was noticeably surprised by the awards.

[ Goal completed: Kill all monsters]

[ You can use the [Gate Network] ]

[Gate Network: Allows the carrier to teleport to one of the gates higher in rank of the current one, with the condition of fulfilling the purpose of this gate. Using: [Available] ]

Before Algard could look at the available teleportation gate, a steel arrow flew into his right leg.

"Oh shit... Are there really people?"

[Available gates: Ice Lair [D], Mountain Range [D], Volcano Mouth [D] ]

"I will choose any! I can't handle this archer anyway!"

Algard chose the [Ice Lair] on the boom, and his body began to disappear, gradually moving to another gate. In the process, Algard relaxed a little and fell asleep.

...

...

Waking up, Algard noticed that he was lying in the middle of a large ice room, in the edge of which there were already 3 Ice Golems. Algard immediately headed towards them, prematurely activating [Roar] and [Massive Claws]. While the golems were stunned, Algard completely crushed two golems at a time with his paws.

Algard had to kill the last one, using [Roar] again and destroying the entire body of the Ice Golem.

Having absorbed the souls again, Algard got +15 to dexterity, +18 to endurance, +9 to Mana, +4 to strength in his hands.

After collecting the souls, Algard headed to the next gate room, which currently housed 2 Lv Yetis. 16.

"Damn... Against them [the Chilling Squall] is useless..."

The same thing happened again as with past enemies - the Yetis were torn apart, and only huge, deep wounds could be seen on their bodies.

[ Passed rooms: 2/5 ]

Going further, Algard had to fight with more and more Yetis and Ice Golems until he got closer to the final room.

That icy passage, that room itself-they were all covered with a layer of blood. Algard was also uneasy at first, but after entering the room, he saw a huge monster in the middle of the room.

[ Ancient Yeti [Lv. 23] ]

Algard tried to use [Roar] again to stun the Yeti, but it didn't work, so Algard decided to go on the offensive right away. The yeti howled with a piercing scream, after which he began to hammer with his huge hands on the floor of the room, thereby preventing Algard from getting close.

But, soon after, when the Yeti stopped, Algard took advantage of the moment and, with his claws, he tore open the Yeti's chest. The yeti started screaming even harder, and now he already started throwing huge boulders of ice at Algard, hitting Algard with one of them, he probably would have been already dead.

Thanks to his agility, Algard was able to dodge the flying stones, and again getting a chance to attack, he took advantage of it, continuing to crush the same wound. Algard was trying to get to the vital organs so that he could tear them off and finish the battle.

Now there was an even deeper wound on the Yeti's body, from which blood was oozing. Because of this, the Yeti roared even harder, his eyes turned red, and his body became even stronger than before. The Yeti rushed straight to the bear, simultaneously throwing boulders. When he got very close to Algard, he tried to crack the bear's body, and he succeeded. Huge holes from Yeti teeth were noticeably visible on Algard's body. But, taking advantage of the moment, Algard once again tore a hole in the Yeti, and now for sure the monster's organs were turned into porridge.

The yeti abruptly fell to the ground, leaving a pool of blood under him, filling the entire room. Algard absorbed the monster's soul.
