Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

The horns were so delicate and small that they had remained hidden under the red hair and had not been noticed before.

Veronica noticed Luca's slightly surprised gaze and quickly dropped the vines she was holding.

Then, in a panic, he pulled up his hood and put it back over his head.

In the camp, the battle was slowly drawing to a close.

The guards hired by the caravan, who could travel such a long distance of nearly ten days, were certainly not some worthless scoundrels.

Although there were no professionals among this group, they were all seasoned veterans.

There are quite a few experts who have already mastered combat skills.

They not only demonstrated formidable combat power, but also excellent teamwork.

In addition, these adventurers were all confident in their own abilities, which is why they dared to follow the caravan and take a detour.

Their combat capabilities were by no means weak.

After initially panicking at the surprise attack, the people in the camp quickly regained their composure.

With Luke having single-handedly killed three goblins riding dire wolves, the remaining two goblins had long lost their will to fight.

While ordering the goblins to advance as cannon fodder and die, they had already begun to fight and retreat.

They deliberately chose a route to retreat that was furthest from Luke.

They were terrified that this killer would come after them.

Soon, the fleeing goblin disappeared into the wilderness.

The remaining goblins naturally became the adventurers' spoils of war.

After the battle ended, Fernando, the person in charge, began directing everyone to clean up the scene.

They dug a pit and buried the corpses of the goblins and goblins whose left ears had been cut off.

At the same time, they stripped some of their decent equipment and weapons.

As before, Fernando directly converted all these items, including the goblin's left ear, into currency and promised it to everyone on the spot.

This can be considered as doing the adventurers a favor.

After all, in this season, carrying a goblin's left ear around your neck will cause it to rot and stink within two days.

The battle did not result in significant losses.

Apart from the Night Watch adventurer Ral, who was previously ambushed and killed, there were no other dead.

However, several were injured, and it was they who held off the remaining two goblins' attacks.

He is currently applying herbal medicine and resting in the camp.

Fernando went to Luca's side and bowed to express his gratitude.

In the battle just now, it was Luca who stopped the goblins' first sneak attack.

In addition, he directly took on some of the opponent's strongest combat forces, laying the foundation for this victory.

When calculating the value of Luke's spoils, the person in charge deliberately added a few extra gold coins.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the convoy did not travel through the night, but continued to wait for dawn.

The goblins are very cautious, and after this failed sneak attack, they will definitely not attempt another attack anytime soon.

However, the team still increased its night watch arrangements.

Although it's based on experience, no one would choose to joke about their own life.

There's a saying that goes something like this: those who drown are often the ones who know how to swim.

Over-reliance on one's own survival experience often leads to setbacks.

Standing by the campfire, Luke looked at Veronica, who was curled up in a ball, and spoke first: "Thank you for everything."

Although Luke was able to dodge the goblin's sneak attack, the goblin did indeed help him.

Veronica trembled upon hearing this and said:

"No...it's nothing."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "No...you're welcome."

Seeing how much effort the other person was putting into speaking, Luke realized that this red-haired woman hadn't been aloof at all along the way.

It might just be that they're not good at talking.

He did not ask the other person about the horns on their head.

It's clear that Veronica is very concerned about the strange looks she gets from others.

Luca had already guessed the other party's race.

Possessing the blood of the devil, he is regarded by most factions as an ominous and evil being – "Tifflin".

This race, like the half-drow nomad Tina we encountered before, is at the very bottom of the continent's racial hierarchy.

Tina is alright; female drow at least hold a respectable position in the Underdark.

Tifflin, on the other hand, was completely rejected and marginalized.

Because of their distinctive appearance, people tend to point the finger at them first when something bad happens.

Therefore, tiffs are often unable to engage in normal professions and are forced to become criminals such as swindlers and thieves.

Furthermore, the fact that most Tieflings could only engage in criminal activities greatly reinforced this prejudice.

It has become a vicious cycle.

However, this Miss Veronica did not have the devilish red skin described in the book, so her identity was never exposed along the way.

I wonder if the other side has a tail?

Luke started to have his own impolite wild thoughts again.

With some time still to go before dawn, Luke did not continue participating in the vigil.

He cleaned the blood off his armor by the campfire while glancing at the control panel.

The [Miracle Fantasy], which has been dormant for a long time, finally has an object to be materialized:

[Miracle Fantasy successfully materialized the projection of a warg]

[Gained Specialization: Enhanced Sense of Smell]

[Smell Enhancement: Increased sensitivity to odors]

Luke was quite pleased with this passive ability.

Like dark vision, enhanced sense of smell can also improve his ability to perceive his surroundings.

The camp still smelled of blood, the sweat of adventurers, and the grease dripping from the campfire.

And not far away, Veronica's unique, fresh scent...

Various smells that he wouldn't have paid attention to before now clearly flooded into Luke's nasal cavity, some of them pungent.

It seems he needs to get used to this ability a little longer.

Now that the projection of the dire wolf has been materialized, it's only natural to try out the ability of [Imaginary Manifestation].

Luke walked to the edge of the camp, to the edge of the weeds, and with a thought, he enhanced the dire wolf's abilities.

This time, no improvements were displayed on the panel.

But Luke could clearly feel that the muscles in his legs became firm and full of power in an instant.

As long as he puts his foot down now, he will instantly sprint away.

Just like the agile sprint of a dire wolf, [Imagination Manifestation] grants him an enhanced ability to run.

This explosive power in running is not just about increased speed, but more about a sense of control over the ground.

Even in complex terrain, he can sprint at full speed to escape danger.

This enhanced state lasted for about ten minutes before disappearing, and it also had a cooldown period of once a day.

In terms of escape skills, Luke now possesses a very comprehensive set of abilities.

It not only possesses psychological deterrence, but also long-range attacks and full-speed sprints.

Even if we encountered another evil ape demon now...

Thinking of this, Luke looked around warily.

He then found his neuroticism laughable.

It seems that the demonic giant ape left him with some minor trauma.

"Forget it, I'd better hurry back and get some sleep..."
