Chapter 11. Clearing the Fourth Floor.
____________________________________________________________________________
First, I will look for a defensive skill.
[ Skills: Hard Body ( F-Rank )
Iron skin ( E-Rank )
Barrier ( F-Rank )
Energy shield ( E-Rank )
Damage Sacrifice ( E-Rank )
Water Bubble ( E-Rank )
Earthen Cover ( E-Rank )

He tapped on the energy shield to check its power.
[ Energy Shield (E Rank):
An Energy Shield is a basic defensive skill that creates a protective barrier around the user using concentrated energy.
Required skill coins to buy: 25 ]
[ Damage Sacrifice (E-rank):
The user can sacrifice parts of the body, ranging from hair to limbs, to withstand damage without any pain or damage. Sacrifice depends on the amount of damage.
Required skill coins to buy: 25 ]
-----

[ Fire Claw ( E-rank ):
The user's claws get stronger and are accompanied by flames. Flames are strong enough to burn rank 1 severely and rank 0 beings to death instantly.
Required skill coins to buy: 25 ]
[ Iron Claw ( E-rank ):
The user's claws get sharper and stronger, which allows them to cut iron like butter. And also increase claw attack speed. ]
No D-ranks and above rank skills.
He wanted to exchange D-rank skills and even greater rank skills since he had more than 100 skill coins.
[ Skill Coins: 117 ]
Hmm, let's take the energy shield and iron claw. One for close combat and one for defence.
He decided the skills that he wanted to take after thinking for some time. One skill is for defence and another is for attack. From the beginning, he had only one skill to attack, which wasn't good for his development.
[ Ding! You want to buy Iron Claw ( E-Rank ) and Energy Sheild ( E-Rank ).
Required Skills Coins: 50
Proceed? ]
Kiran spent 50 skill coins to buy them.
[ Skill Coins: 67 ]
[ Skills:
Slot 1: Thunder Shock ( E-rank )
Slot 2: Lucky Aura ( F-rank )
Slot 3: Flutter Step ( F-Rank )
Slot 4: Energy Shield ( E-rank )
Slot 5: Iron Claw ( E-rank ) ]
Let's level them to the max before facing the second-floor boss.
[ Skills:
Slot 5: Iron Claw (E-Rank)
Level 1: 0/100
Required SP: 20 ]
"Iron Claw." He activated his skill to check its power.
His claws turned black and emitted a little blue energy.
Swipe!
He swiped his claws in the air as three energy scratch marks appeared in the air, which fell on the purple crystal.
[ Ding! You used 'Iron Claw' ]
Crack!
Three big scratch marks appeared on the crystal.
Good, it's perfect for close combat.
He then went to train it to the max level.

[ Ding! You used 'Energy Shield' ]
Once he activated his defensive skill, he was surrounded by a light blue, transparent energy shield.
Boom!
Boom!
He smashed himself into the purple crystal to check its defence.
After five strong clashes, his shield was shattered.
Good, it can withstand E-rank skills three times.
He estimated its defence.

After a few days, he maxed out two skills he had acquired.
How should I max out this skill?
He rubbed his cute head with his paws, looking irritated. He was very cute from a human perspective.
[ Skills:
Slot 2: Lucky Aura (F-Rank)
Level 1: 1/10
Required SP: 10 ]
Lucky Aura can only be used once per week, and to level up skill proficiency, Kiran needs to use it multiple times.
He needs ten weeks of time to reach level 2 in the lucky aura.
[ Ding! You can use skill coins to level up a skill! ]
Suddenly, a notification popped up informing him of how to level up those kinds of skills.
Skills Coins, I need them for evolving.
He wondered whether it was even worth using skill coins.
"Tch. (Eevee)." He decided to use them at the end, as he would get more opportunities to earn skill coins.
If I use Lucky Aura at reward time, I might even get more skill coins.
He smiled, thinking that he had found a trick.
[ Ding! You have used ten Skill Coins.
Proficiency +100
Ding! 'Lucky Aura' skill levelled up!

He calculated the amount of proficiency he could get from one skill point.

Kiran felt that he was becoming a little spendthrift.
He fell asleep instantly due to training.
The next day, in the second dungeon boss room. ----

Kiran took one last glance at the fallen green snake king, which was torn in half by his claws. It was once a big, majestic, ten-meter-long snake.

[ Ding!
You have entered the Fourth Floor of 'Silver Serpents Dungeon'

He rushed in with the intent of clearing the floor quickly.

He ran into the gang of ten serpents as he reached the last quarter of the hall. Seven out of ten were level 14, and the last three were level 15.
"Iron Claw, Energy Shield, Flutter Step (Eevee, Eevee)." He activated all his close combat skills and rushed towards them.

Another level up.
He felt happy looking at the last three serpents.
He held two of them with his 'Iron Claw' as they slowly bled to death, while the last serpent tried to break his 'Energy Shield' with its 'Bite'.

They were easily killed by Kiran. Though there were ten of them, it was a one-sided battle.
He rested for some time while eating, and then he rushed to clear the floor as he was just at the end.

Slice!
He sliced apart the last serpent of the floor into two, killing it.
It was thrilling.
He looked at the portals, waiting for a reward. All the snakes were massacred by him. They weren't able to resist him. At least snakes on previous floors were able to hold on for one minute.
[ Ding! You used 'Lucky Aura' ]
[ State: Lucky (Once) ]
He didn't forget to use his broken skill to his advantage in reward.
He cleared this floor rapidly due to having a perfect arsenal. It was his iron claw that made him very powerful.
[ Ding! You have cleared the Fourth floor of the 'Silver Serpent Dungeon'.
+ 250 Exp
+ 200 Skill Coins
+ 1 Skill Evolution ]
Huh, skill evolution instead of levelling up, looks like Lucky Aura worked.
He didn't care if he missed level-up rewards as skill evolution costs more then simple level up.
