Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

Luke disregarded the fact that the distance between them had not yet increased, and slammed the fireball in his hand directly onto the Fang of Yenogu.

"boom!"

With the addition of kerosene, the power of the flames this time was quite considerable.

It even exploded in a small area, forming a huge fireball, which engulfed Luke in the flames.

Luke's temples throbbed as he forcefully used the Three Fireballs spell, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.

However, he did not stop, continuing to swing the double-bladed axe towards Yenogu's neck.

The gnoll's wounds from the previous battle were further aggravated by the impact of the fire explosion, causing the wounds to open up and a large amount of black energy to leave its body.

Feeling the intense struggle and heart-wrenching screams beneath me.

Luca kept using his combat skills, his body was drained to the point of near limit.

Almost entirely by willpower, he repeated the movements again and again.

Until the black aura surrounding the opponent completely dissipated, the hyena-like head was sawed off by a serrated axe blade.

Luke released his grip and collapsed, utterly exhausted.

Il rushed over first, hugged Luke's body, tears welling in her eyes, and chanted a spell rapidly.

A vibrant, pure white light enveloped Luke.

As the light continued to flash, Luke's wounds began to heal rapidly.

Although the ogre's power had disappeared, Luke's 7 points in Constitution, combined with the 20% fire resistance from his feat [Ember], meant that his injuries were not as severe as they appeared.

His injuries were not as severe as they appeared.

However, Irene still activated a first-level spell that can only be used once a day: Healing.

As the spell ended, he took out a healing potion from his pocket and kept pouring it into Luke's mouth.

After confirming that he was not in mortal danger, Elle ran over to check on Tina and Eric's injuries.

Tina is alright. After drinking the medicine, she only has minor injuries and just needs some rest.

As for Eric, although Tina promptly administered a healing potion and he regained consciousness, he was still unable to move on his own.

We can only wait until the next day to let Yier cast the healing spell again.

The entire battle, from start to finish, probably lasted less than ten minutes.

But everyone in the team seemed to have experienced an eternity, and for a moment no one spoke.

Everyone is still savoring the complex emotions of surviving the ordeal.

After a while, Luke was the first to get up.

Although he was mentally exhausted, after drinking two bottles of healing potion and with the help of Yi'er's healing magic, his body was no longer in any serious condition.

Looking at Yenogu's headless body, he was somewhat troubled.

The demonic creature that Marilyn, the owner of the Moss Hut, needs is right in front of her, but what exactly does she want?

Are we going to have to carry the whole body back?

Tina, who was standing nearby, noticed Luca's dilemma and asked him softly why.

Luke told the other party about his request to be tainted by a creature with demonic aura.

After hearing this, Tina pointed to the chest of Yenogu's Fang:

"The book says that the demonic power of the Fang of Yenogu mainly comes from its heart. You can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Luke drew his dagger and began to do as instructed.

The wounds on Yenogu's Fang were much more serious than Luke had imagined; the spiderweb-like cracks spread from the inside out.

The other person's body seemed to be on the verge of falling apart even before they encountered Luke and his group.

Even with his body at its last gasp, he still nearly wiped out the entire squad.

Without the support of the black aura, the physical strength of Yenogu's Fang plummeted.

After making several forceful cuts along the wound, Luke successfully ripped open the other man's chest.

A shriveled, black heart is attached to the chest cavity.

Even though the host had been dead for a long time, this special heart would still beat occasionally, as if it still had some life force left.

After the heart was removed, Yenogu's body seemed to become even thinner.

The deep black-red hair gradually turned sallow and lost its luster.

"This heart is very important to me, and I will convert the corresponding reward into gold coins and distribute them to everyone."

Luca carefully wrapped the heart of the Fang of Yenogu, making his stance clear.

The rest of the squad said Luke didn't need to do that at all.

Although the rule for adventurer parties is to split the rewards equally, it also depends on the individual's special contribution to the mission.

If Luke hadn't turned back, the other three would probably be dead here.

Luke did not mince words or feign modesty, but readily agreed.

Unlike his generous teammates, he came out as an adventurer to make money.

After a short rest, everyone except Eric began to scavenge the camp.

Gnolls love to plunder, so their collections are far richer than those of goblins.

In several tents, a total of more than eighty gold coins were found.

In addition, there were some weapons and armor.

Gnolls don't maintain or care for their equipment, so the quality of these items appears to be rather average.

Moreover, they couldn't move all the wounded people with them.

Ir suggested that they go back and talk to the captain of the guards to directly convert the reward into gold coins.

Including the loose coins, a preliminary estimate of the harvest is that there are about one hundred gold coins in total.

Of course, this does not include the heart of the Yenogu's Tooth in Luke's hand.

Luke originally intended to remove the enemy's fangs, but after removing the heart, the enemy's fangs also aged rapidly.

He pried it open with force, and it shattered instantly.

After looting, the team prepared to return to Wulan Village to rest.

On the way back, Luke carried Eric, who was temporarily unable to walk.

Yi'er bowed deeply to Lu Jiashen, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Thank you, Mr. Luke. Without you, we would likely be in grave danger this time."

Tina also bowed to Ryoma.

The young swordsman, who had always been proud and arrogant, now had an incredibly determined expression.

"Thank you for saving me and my friends. You will forever have the friendship of the Brand family."

After drinking the healing potion, Eric slowly regained consciousness.

Although he was unable to get up, he witnessed what Luke had done.

The opponent's fierce momentum, superb combat wisdom, and control of the battle opportunity, including their decisive and unwavering advance.

He completely won over the heart of this young, noble-born knight-errant.

Eric was convinced that this was what an adventurer should be like in his mind.

Luke said not to worry about it, he just made what he thought was the right choice at the time.

That is indeed the case.

If Luke continues to run, they will only be picked off one by one by the Fang of Yenogu, their throats crushed.

However, choosing to fight back head-on can bring incredibly rich rewards if successful.

The reward for the commission is 100 gold coins, of which Luke will receive 25. Previously, the reward for joining the party was 20 gold coins.

You can also get 25 gold coins for looting from the gnoll camp.

Adding the heart of the Yenogu's Fang in his possession, it's worth at least 100 gold coins at the Moss Hut...

Yi'er tilted her head, looking at the black-haired youth beside her whose mouth was almost stretched to his ears, a hint of doubt on her face:

Mr. Luke seemed particularly pleased?

...

Upon returning to Wulan Village, I heard that the jackal people had been completely eliminated.

In high spirits, Captain Simon of the Guards immediately agreed to the squad's request to cash out the gnoll equipment.

They did indeed need that equipment, so the Baron decided to recruit a few militiamen from the village to arm them.

After training this group of militiamen, he could return to the baron's territory with honor.

The next morning, after receiving treatment from Il's healing magic, Eric, who was able to get out of bed and walk, thanked Luke again.

After resting, the team boarded the horse-drawn carriage that was waiting for them in the village.

We set off on our journey home, facing the rising sun.
