Monster Horde

[Defeated one hundred Orcs]

[Advanced profile of Orcs Available]

[The Orc race is the race of fire. Among all races, Orcs possess the greatest physical strength, with high maximum HP and ATK levels but slow movement, attack and casting speeds]

[Orcs have two Main evolutionary paths.]

-Fighter (1st evolution)

As a basic fighting class, Orc fighters focus on brute force melee combat. At evolution, the orc must choose to journey his path to the warrior as a brutish orc raider.

-Shaman(1st evolution)

Basic spell-casting class, Orc shamans cast beneficial and damaging spells while wielding staffs, magic maces, and swords. Only the talented with high MP levels can have this evolution path

The Orcs comprise 27% of the population of the Beast Empire. The orcs found in dungeons do not possess the ability to evolve beyond their third evolution.

Whoa! That is such a huge information dump, I don't think my brain can handle that much. By the way, what do I need this for?

"..." The system was silent.

Anyway, since the system showed it to me, it should be beneficial for me in some way.

Moreover, I learned something new and vital from it. empires… They do exist; how big or mighty is this Beast Empire?

[Beast Empire exists on the northmost continent ????? with 90% of its population being the beast of different races, and ruled by ????]

Umm… system I know you don't want to spoil me or act secretive, but you could have at least told me their names.

Forget it. The destroyer is the third evolution of the orcs, which means I should not worry when I stumble upon an orc camp in the future. I'm pretty confident in taking it down quite easily with the strength I have amassed.

Well, I do need my other hand for it.

[Host has increased chance of receiving skills of the Orc race when using Gluttony]

Oh ho! I forgot about that part of gluttony. How did my chances increase, by the way?

Considering how important it is to fill up my aura count, and the fact that there are a large number of dead monsters below my shelter, I shouldn't let this opportunity go away.

I try to stay hidden and alert any monster, even though I doubt any of them will even have the time to notice me with how urgent they seem to be.

It doesn't hurt to be careful.

Eventually, I arrived close to the dungeon floor, and a few slower monsters are still following the rest as they follow the rest from behind them.

All of the monsters seem to be of common to rare rank, and while I was watching them from above, I used analysis on any new monster that I hadn't come across till now, not only for information but to hopefully level up my analysis further.

Till now, the strongest monster in the lot seemed to be that guy.

[Chaotic Minotaur – Rare rank]

HP- 1500 CON-150

DEF-290 DEX- 58

ATK- 92 STR-41

MP-50 INT-10

Speed- 36 AGI- 36

Skills- Perception(R) Darkvision(UC) Charge(UC) Dungeon Recall(R) Berserk(R)

[The fur stained with the blood of fallen foes, minotaurs are massive, bull-headed monsters of the Horned King race]

Although I want to try hunting it, I cannot kill it in a similar way as I did with the orcs. That guy is double the height of the orc boss I fought. I am surprised that with such a size, its stats look mediocre.

It must be a shame for such a prideful race. I used to read about minotaurs back in my world, they were strong, mighty beings that could change the tides of war with their presence, but here, they're just a monster of rare rank.

I could use the minotaur's body to reach its head, which is most likely its weak point so that I can kill it in one blow, but with the absence of my right arm, I don't think that is feasible.

There's no need to take a risk on such a small matter.

I will just climb up the dungeon and fall directly on its head. Yeah, that should work.

These are some new skills I haven't seen.

[Perception(R)- the minotaurs instinct allows it to sense danger]

[Dungeon Recall(R)- The minotaur can perfectly recall the path it has travelled]

[Berserk( R)- The minotaur gains a huge amount of strength in return for sacrificing its defence]

The perception skill seems pretty useful, but I want that dungeon to recall skill!!

I wouldn't have to waste time marking wherever I went to remember the path anymore if I had it.

No need to waste time, let's kill this cow and get what I desire.

I have to get that skill, no matter what.

It took me about 5 minutes to make my way to the top of the dungeon floor, using my three limbs to hang on.

I watched as the minotaur moved ahead without waiting for me to kill it.

Damn, it! I never included the minotaur being able to move in my plan! Shit, how stupid and a waste of time.

Fine, I will deal with you later, time to check if any uncommon monsters are included in the pile of monster corpses.

Tch. What was so important was that these small monsters ignored their lives and joined in this type of stampede.

Analyze!

I see a total of eighty-nine uncommon monsters.

Quite a harvest for me indeed.

None of them has better stats than me, but there's always a chance of getting their skills.

I came out of hiding as I went over each of the monsters to harvest aura.

Despite me picking on the corpse, none of the monsters looked back; if anything, they didn't even care in the first place. Large groups of up to twenty are leaving with a higher frequency than I'd seen a few moments ago.

I piled up all the corpses I needed on the side so that I don't get caught up in such a crazy stampede.

It's a good thing uncommon-ranked monsters mostly have small builds so that I can gather them quickly.

Gluttony!

Huge amounts of aura seeped out from the corpse as it seeps into my body and disappeared instantly.

[Eighty-Nine aurae gained]

[Six Hundred Sixty-Seven more aura needed for the host to evolve]

[Gained skill -Hard skin(C)]

Eh, what a surprise I actually got a skill. Which monster is it from?

[Carrion crawler]

Carrion crawler is a burrowing aberration that scavenged the dead and occasionally preyed on living creatures. With an appearance akin to a three- to four-foot-long centipede.

Oh from this ugly fella, its appearance creeped me out when I first saw it, I would have been more surprised if it was the first thing I saw coming into this world.

What is a weak worm like you doing here? Aren't you asking to be killed with such a small body? You even crawl on the ground!

No wonder most of the corpses consisted of this type of monster, they had no choice if a monster like a minotaur stepped on them.

Bah! No sympathy for worms.

I back off to a safe place immediately after absorbing the aura from them. Because I could see large groups of monsters in the distance heading this way.

Screech!

Instantly I use my left arm to strike behind me as my claws passed through the body of a carrion crawler killing it in one hit.

If not for my having adapted to danger and surroundings due to my talent, I would have suffered terribly in that situation.

I can not afford to think lightly of any monster inside the dungeon. The carrion crawler even though it has such low health, its fangs are tinged with enough poison to kill me over three times.

Surprisingly its poison generation is at the Elite rank, which is much higher than my own!

No doubt it had enough poison to kill me—not three times, but definitely once. And it seems like it is not alone. I charge and quickly build up momentum using a dash, I didn't try anything fancy as I barrel directly towards the closest crawler, not giving it time to defend itself. The fangs reach up and try to rip my arm but are simply too slow to do anything.

I darted forward, striking another one.

KO!

[You have defeated Carrion crawler]

I didn't even need to target the head. My claws and attack power after using amplify and enhance at the same time had enough power to tear them in half.

This feels nice.

The remaining crawlers approached me burrowing under the ground to confuse me, but it is of no use, instead of backing away I dashed forward, striking the ground to rip the crawler to shreds.

Then another one to finish off the last of them.

One crawler was writhing on the ground unable to even stand properly. I finished it off with one strike.

This was a slaughter!

They couldn't threaten me at all. I could probably take more of them at once.

This is how much I have improved from the day I came here.

Wait, It seems like I forgot something.

Feeling the ground shake...

Shit run!!!
