Doggie Level Up! Soul Blast!

Gabriel and Doggie arrived at the mine through the marks they made along the way last time.

Gabriel once again arrived at the entrance of the enclosed space, but this time his target was the endless tunnel on the left side of the entrance.

After packing up all his equipment, Gabriel lit his torch, and the flickering flame illuminated the path ahead for him.

When he entered the tunnel, he noticed something was wrong.

"Someone has been here before?"

He leaned the torch against the stone wall and a mural appeared in front of him.

On a throne sat a queen.

The queen drank a bowl of ordinary spring water, and the spring water turned purple!

Then, she distributed the spring water to her people.

Those who drank the water turned into zombies, and some even turned into skeletons!

After looking at the entire mural, Gabriel felt a chill down his spine.

What kind of medicine was that? The effect was so strong!

"Natives."

Gabriel muttered and continued to walk forward.

What he did not know was that not long after he left, the eyes of the empress, who was originally carved on the mural, actually flickered with a red light. In just a second, her eyes returned to its original appearance.

After walking for a while, Gabriel heard a familiar voice. It was the roar of the zombie.

"It's finally here!"

Not only was Gabriel not afraid, he was actually excited.

Ever since he knew that killing these monsters would improved Doggie, he had been crazily paying attention to the information of the undead such as zombies and skeletons. This was like a gift that came to him. It would be a waste if he did not take it!

"There are a lot of them. I guess more than sixty of them."

Gabriel rubbed his chin and said to Doggie, who was about to lose its patience.

After receiving the order, Doggie once again fought on the battlefield.

As the number of battles increased, Doggie's control over its own strength became better and better.

Just as the number of monsters in the tunnel was reduced by half, a notification sounded from his bracelet.

[Notification: Nether Hound has killed many monsters. Its level has been raised to LV5.]

[Notification: Nether Hound has reached level 5. New skill gained: Soul Blast.]

[Soul blast: Nether Hound can inflict heavy damage to the souls of enemies within a certain range.]

Doggie had leveled up!

It had awakened a new skill!

It was a skill that could damage the opponent's soul!

What a useful skill!

At this moment, Gabriel saw a short body appear in the middle of the monster crowd.

This little guy was as green in color, and it had a small body. It was holding a book, and the book looked quite old.

[Short Mage]

[Quality: E]

[Level: 4]

[Weakness: Weak body.]

[Skills: Magic Shield. Magic Spear.]

[Description: an evil mage trained by the Queen of Scorpions. He can use magic to attack enemies. He is agile and can command other zombies and skeletons.]

He could use magic?

Gabriel had a bad feeling when he saw the description.

If this monster targeted Doggie, something bad would definitely happen.

Doggie's Spirit Body was only immune to physical damage, not magic damage.

He was about to remind Doggie, but the monster had already used its magic power to condense an arrow that was one meter long and shot at Doggie.

Fortunately, Doggie's reaction speed was fast enough to dodge the fatal blow.

Gabriel raised the Hunting Rifle in his hand and prepared to kill that b*stard that was hiding among the undead.

The moment he pulled the trigger, the mage responded.

It crossed its arms in front of its chest and drew a round shape. A few shields appeared in all four directions!

The bullets hit the shields and created a flame!

The flames burned very quickly. In an instant, two of the shields were completely incinerated, as if they had never appeared.

The mage was also stunned for a moment, but its short hands were still sliding around non-stop.

How could Doggie, who had been lurking at the side, let the mage go? It pounced forward and cast its newly awakened skill. Soul Blast!

As the skill was cast, the air shook.

The wave rushed toward the mage who wanted to cast a skill.

The monsters under the mage's control also fell to the ground under the effect of Soul Blast. They were no longer moving.

Even the mage spun around before it completely fell to the ground.

It happened rather quickly. The mage was still casting skills, and in just a few seconds, it was killed by Doggie.

"Doggie, you've got yourself a good skill, huh?"

Gabriel shouted at Doggie who was far away.

He had another envious thought.

Hearing this, Doggie once again returned to his usual mischievous appearance. It ran toward Gabriel and jumped left and right, looking very much like a child who did a good deed and wanted to be praised.

[Notification: Undead corpses detected. Do you want to dismember them?]

[Notification: Short mage's corpse detected. Do you want to dismember it?]

Gabriel chose to dismember the mage's corpse first. Monsters with magic power should not be too bad after dismembering.

[Notification: Fragment of magic book (Magic Shield) +1.]

[Notification: Obtained a tattered robe +1.]

[Notification: Rotten meat +50.]

Gabriel filtered out the last two notifications and focused his attention on the first notification.

[Fragment of magic book (Magic Shield)]

[Type: Item]

[Usage: 3/3]

[Description: because it is a fragment, you have three chances to release a magic shield.]

Gabriel carefully put this thing away. It was definitely a good thing.

Just the defensive power of the magic shield was a little shocking to him.

If not for Doggie's help, he would have needed at least two bullets to kill it.

The power of the Hunting Rifle was needless to say. From this, it could be seen that the power of the magic shield could block almost three fiery red bullets!

"It's an escape weapon!"

Gabriel sighed. He had to make good use of the three remaining opportunities.

Maybe in the future, when his life was in danger, he could still save his life with that skill.

Maybe when the Wolf King attacked again not long later, he could hope for a miracle. After all, the defensive power of the shield was not to be underestimated.

After pondering for a moment, Gabriel dismembered all the corpses and continued to walk forward.

The mission for Doggie's upgrade had been completed, but his mission had not been completed.

At least he had to obtain a treasure box. Otherwise, it would be a wasted trip.
