Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

Over the next two days, the guards and adventurers discovered several more black stone tablets.

However, the presence of these ghouls will not have a significant impact on the battle.

Two days later, the last village occupied by the monsters was completely wiped out.

The monster extermination campaign has officially entered its final stage.

Near the outpost, a group of people were heading towards a huge abandoned manor.

There were about ten people, all wearing heavy silver-white armor.

These people had identical badges inlaid on their left chests.

It was a sun that had just risen halfway above the horizon, surrounded by a rose-colored, gilded backdrop.

The rosy dawn symbolizes the sunrise.

The identity of this group was self-evident; they were from the Church of Dawn.

As they approached the manor, the captain of the guards, who had been waiting there, immediately went to greet them.

"Your Excellency, you've finally arrived!"

Leading the group was Wyatt, Ir's mentor and one of the priests of the Dawn Church in Ryan City.

Wyatt dismounted and, without any further pleasantries or small talk, went straight to the point:

"Where is the black stone tablet?"

"plz follow me."

The captain of the guards dared not delay and immediately led everyone to the entrance of the underground fortress.

After careful searching and investigation, a total of seven altars were discovered near the destroyed villages and manors.

This underground fortress, which was initially discovered by the captain of the guards and the adventurers, is the largest of the several altars.

Unfortunately, the altars in other places were only inhabited by a few ordinary ghouls.

Demons and ghosts have appeared in this area that is only under the jurisdiction of the captain of the guard.

If it weren't for the young, black-haired adventurer who came to his rescue, he would have lost his life right there.

The guards nearby moved the huge rock that was suppressing the crowd, lifted the cover, and the group immediately went down.

Two heavily armed knights, wielding greatswords, flanked Wyatt.

However, at this moment, the priest was also wearing heavy silver plate armor and was holding a huge mace in his hand.

He looked even more robust than the knights on either side.

Smelling the fresh flesh and blood, the ghouls in the darkness crawled out restlessly.

Then, under the dazzling holy light, the ghouls began to fall in droves.

Some ghouls that managed to escape the divine spell were smashed to pieces by the mace.

Or his head might be easily chopped off by two paladins.

The ghouls that had previously been able to repel a group of thirty people were now even more vulnerable than goblins.

Before long, the entire underground area was cleared away.

Wyatt also found his target: those black stone monuments, each about half a person's height.

Ordinary people who rashly destroy such creations of necromancy are likely to be cursed.

This is also why the Church of Dawn was invited.

The purification ritual is very simple.

After a brief prayer, Wyatt was enveloped in a faint white light.

Then, he approached the black stone tablets and raised his mace.

The immense force shattered the stone tablets instantly, and wisps of black energy seeped out from the cracks in the tablets.

But faced with the holy light surrounding Wyatt, the dark energy melted away like ice and snow, and was completely annihilated.

After the purification was completed, several church novice knights stepped forward and began clearing the mountain of bones.

As with other altars, these bones crumbled at the slightest touch, like dehydrated biscuits.

However, they soon discovered the anomaly.

At the very bottom of the pile of bones, there was a complete skeleton with a bright white color.

Compared to other bone fragments that crumble at the slightest touch, this skeleton is clearly unusual.

"Your Excellency, look here."

Following the direction pointed out by a trainee knight, everyone noticed that the seemingly complete skeleton was missing a hand below its left arm.

At Wyatt's signal, a novice knight attempted to pull the skeleton out.

Unexpectedly, with just one touch, the skeleton's originally bright white texture instantly turned dark gray.

In an instant, as if weathered for many years, it became no different from other bones, shattering into dust.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, Wyatt had no choice but to give up.

Back on the ground, a messenger on horseback was waiting outside.

Upon seeing Wyatt, the messenger immediately went to greet him:

"To express his gratitude to the Church of Dawn, the Lord has donated a sum of money to repair the church's old facilities. If you have time, High Priest, there is a banquet tonight that you would like to attend."

Wyatt did not refuse and accepted the invitation.

As the priest and head of the largest church in the city, strength alone is not enough; good interpersonal relationships are equally important.

With the last altar cleaned up, the matter was temporarily resolved.

The origin of these black stone tablets was subsequently investigated by other individuals.

A barely perceptible hint of worry flickered in Wyatt's eyes.

Although Ryan City appears prosperous and stable, undercurrents seem to be stirring in the surrounding area...

...

The second floor of the Adventurers' Guild in Ryan City.

Luke was taking stock of the gains from this commission.

His mission log included discovering two altars, killing several ghouls and a ghoul, as well as a considerable number of goblins and goblins.

After settling all the records, he received a total of nearly three hundred gold coins and 40 honor points!

Of course, such high-yield commissions are not available all the time.

Including previous savings and the compensation earned from escorting the caravan on the way here.

Luke's total assets have reached six hundred gold!

If you take into account the equipment and items he has, his net worth is now over a thousand gold coins!

This is the nature of adventurers: high risk, high reward.

Besides the monetary gains, Luca's combat skills also improved significantly after several battles.

First, after he developed the combined use of [Crimson Rampage] and [Gluttonous Slash].

His proficiency in these two combat skills improved once again.

The skill [Gluttony Slash], which was already improving very slowly, suddenly gained 3 points of proficiency, reaching (8/40).

The proficiency of 【Bloodstained Rampage】 has also increased significantly, reaching level 2 (10/20).

As for [Stealth and Evasion], it's just one step away from being upgraded.

After repeated testing, Luke was able to confirm that the side effects of this combat technique had indeed been reduced considerably.

It was not caused by Irene's blessing spell.

Therefore, he put the training of this combat skill on his schedule.

At this rate of improvement, Luca felt that it wouldn't be long before he would be able to reach level 3.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Luke."

Not far away, a staff member walked over carrying a scroll, interrupting Luke's daydreams about the future.

What the other person was holding was Luke's main objective in coming here.

Combat Skill: [Mind's Eye Sword].
