"Your mother's f*cking bullshit!"
He pulled out another bee stinger and stabbed again.
"AAAAAAHHH!"
Ethan started wailing again like a ghost or howling wolf.
Because the moment this bee stinger was just stabbed into his body, there was this super intense, aching sensation in his nuts.
Then the aching sensation would disappear within three seconds.
[Posion Resistance +2]
"Whoosh!"
As the aching sensation disappeared, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief again.
He glanced at the experience points; he was still 5 points away from leveling up to level 4. He gritted his teeth!
"Bring it on!"
"Ah~"
[Posion Resistance +1]
"One more time!"
"Ah!!"
[Posion Resistance +0.8]
[Posion Resistance +0.5]
[Posion Resistance...]
[...]
Although Daji was petrified.
It could still see what was happening outside. To be precise, it couldn't really be called seeing.
It was more like sensing, or perceiving with its spiritual sense.
Anyway, its brain could clearly perceive the surrounding situation!
But at that moment...
Watching its master's actions, it was once again filled with confusion.
Could it be that the master liked this kind of thing?
Why hadn't it noticed this before?
Today's master...
Had also smelled that stinky fart.
And not only did he smell it while retching, but he hadn't even gotten enough of it outside, so he had to come inside for a deep sniff.
To say the master didn't have some kind of issue, it really found that hard to believe!
Even if the master wanted to eat farts, that was one thing.
But why did the master also like abusing himself?
Who in their right mind...
Would stab themselves with a needle?
It was just too strange!
"OH OH OH!!!!"
(๑१д१)
The master let out another inhuman scream.
Just watching it hurt Daji!
But the master, at this moment...
Actually revealed a strange, delighted smile!
٩( ๑╹﹏╹)۶
"Finally... finally, goddammit, I leveled up!"
[Posion Resistance Level 3 -> Level 4, obtained the title: Poison King]
[Poison King: Allows the user to ignore poisonous plants and animals, and also possesses a certain degree of resistance to magical poisons.]
[PS: Low-level poison attacks even have a certain probability of being converted into a healing effect.]
'Holy shit. This is awesome!'
Being able to automatically convert poison attacks into HP? If he had a health bar, as soon as the enemy released a poison, it would be like healing him.
This was simply invincible.
'Alright!'
"Meow?"
Seeing the master was in a daze again, Daji, afraid he had inhaled too much poisonous gas and gone stupid, quickly called out to its master using its spiritual sense.
Ethan finally snapped back to reality and said, "Right, right, we'll go back and study this slowly later. Let's move on to the next level first."
Ethan then picked up Daji and walked towards the back of the beehive.
Behind the beehive—
Sure enough, there was a new stone door, and inside, many red exclamation marks still appeared.
[Shadow Guard: Behind this door, many Shadow Guards are hidden. If your shadow is cast upon the ground, you will become the target of the Shadow Guards' attacks. Unless you can use Holy Radiance, don't easily provoke the Shadow Guards.]
[PS: Don't ever try to walk in darkness without lighting a lamp, because darkness is the domain of the Shadow Guards.]
"Shadow Guards?", Ethan raised an eyebrow.
Then a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Looks like this level couldn't be simpler."
["This next level is simple?",] The Scarecrow was surprised when it heard this, ["I thought each level would be harder than the last, but it actually seems to be getting easier instead."]
"Heh! Heh! It's only simple for me. For you, not necessarily."
Ethan chuckled, full of confidence.
Seeing Ethan's confident look, the Scarecrow became even more disdainful, ["Hmph! When it comes to avoiding harm, I'm way better than you."]
["Look, with all those poisonous bees up ahead, you didn't dare come in, did you? You only got through that level because I escorted the Queen Bee."]
["Let me tell you, apart from fire, there's no attack that can stump me."]
["Not even curses can. If you think it's easy, then I'll definitely find it easy too."]
["Unless the next level is a fire attack."]
"It's not a fire attack," Ethan shook his head, "Fire attacks are also very damaging to me; I don't have the ability to negate burns either."
["Then you're talking crap for nothing,"] The Scarecrow's expression was full of confidence, ["Since it's not a fire attack, I definitely won't lose to you."]
"Alright then, let's go in together."
Ethan hadn't originally planned to bring the Scarecrow, but since it was this confident.
He didn't mind teaching the Scarecrow a lesson about how things work.
["Hmph! Who's afraid of who? The turtle fears the hammer!"]
["Ee-yay!"]
Ethan pulled open the door.
Then, Ethan made a 'please' gesture and said, "You first."
["What about you?"]
The Scarecrow asked, puzzled, ["Didn't you say this level was no problem for you? Then why don't you go first?"]
"Aren't I giving you the chance to be the hero here?", Ethan smiled, "Otherwise, how am I supposed to tell the Attendant Lady about your heroic deeds when we get back?"
["Makes sense!"]
The Scarecrow agreed wholeheartedly.
Then, it proudly hopped forward, jumping straight into the Shadow Guards' territory.
Behind the Scarecrow, Ethan released a Great Fireball Technique.
๛~ก(ｰ̀ωｰ́ก)
Up until now, although Ethan's Great Fireball still wasn't as fierce or as strong as White Eagle's, but because his proficiency had increased, he could now control the speed at which the Great Fireball shot out. For example, he could shoot it out with a 'whoosh' like playing ping pong.
Or he could make it drift slowly like releasing a balloon.
At this moment, Ethan released the Great Fireball Technique to provide light.
He naturally let the Great Fireball drift forward slowly, just to illuminate the Scarecrow's path ahead, and also to confirm the Shadow Guards' attack pattern.
["Hey! Even helping to light my way,"] The Scarecrow saw a Great Fireball drifting in front of it and was overjoyed, ["Thank you very much."]
"You're welcome."
Ethan responded casually.
But his eyes were completely fixed on the Scarecrow's shadow. Then he saw a dark shape quickly flash across the shadow beneath the Scarecrow.
Immediately after, Ethan heard a 'smack', like something had broken.
By the time he looked up again, he saw that the lower half of the Scarecrow had been sliced in two by a shadow again.
Then the Scarecrow fell entirely to the ground.
["Ah! What's going on?"]
The Scarecrow yelped in surprise.
It seemed not to have even realized how it had fallen.
"You got attacked."
After confirming the Shadow Guards' attack pattern, Ethan put his Invisibility Cloak back on, hugged Daji to his chest, and slowly walked forward, saying, "To be precise, you were attacked by a shadow."
["A shadow? What shadow?"]
The Scarecrow was dumbfounded. It hadn't expected that being attacked by a shadow was even a possibility?
Although physical attacks wouldn't kill it, that didn't mean it couldn't be crippled.
"Here."
Ethan cast another Great Fireball.
He illuminated the entire stone chamber hall again. Only then did the Scarecrow finally see, in the very center of the stone chamber, two enormous stone statues standing.
