Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

After each bloody battle, the loot settlement process allows Luca to quickly recover his energy.

Although this time the enemy they faced was a group of giant sewer rats that didn't even have any equipment.

And a skeleton mage who has no equipment, not even skin or flesh.

However, the overall returns are still quite good.

The first thing is the commission payment from the Gray Rat Gang.

After listening to Luke's general description of the depths of the sewers.

The leader of the Gray Rat Gang, the Big Rat, gave Lucas an extra 20 gold coins on top of the full reward.

A total of one hundred gold coins.

If we include that necromancer in the difficulty assessment of this mission, then one hundred gold coins are clearly not enough.

But for a low-level gang that makes a living in the sewers of a slum.

This price is already very reasonable.

Luke readily accepted.

Then there was the corpse of the rat-man, which had turned into a giant blue rat.

Perhaps due to the influence of necromancy, the other party did not revert to human form after death.

This made it easier for Luke to drag the body out of the sewer.

Veronica only took one of the ratmen's fangs as proof to return and complete the mission.

The rest were taken back to the Adventurers' Guild by Luke in exchange for a bounty reward.

The red-haired Miss Typhlin refused Luke's offer of a share of the bounty.

She wasn't there to make money, and she hadn't even registered as an adventurer with the association.

Moreover, she is really not good at talking.

The dark environment of the sewers only temporarily lowered their guard.

After returning to the ground, she once again wrapped her hot body in a loose robe.

After a brief farewell to Luke, he hurriedly disappeared into the alleyways of the slums.

Finally, there was the necromancer who had completely lost his life force, leaving only an empty skeleton.

This necromancer is clearly closely connected to several altars previously discovered outside the city of Ryan.

Luca also chose to take him directly to the Adventurers' Guild.

Although he hadn't seen any related bounty commissions before, he figured he could get a decent reward in return.

Sure enough, after he described what had happened in the sewers to the receptionist on the second floor,

The association has attached great importance to this matter.

They immediately decided to reassess the commission level and told Luke to come back in a few days to collect the bounty.

After the profits were settled, Luke summarized the losses caused by this commission.

First and foremost, of course, is the hand-and-a-half sword made of fine steel, which I bought from my good friend's blacksmith shop.

It was worth 35 gold coins and was completely destroyed, making it impossible to recover.

Add a healing potion from Irontooth Alchemist, 10 gold.

That's all the loss; it's negligible compared to what we made.

Moreover, besides the gold coin rewards, the other gains are also considerable.

After being empowered by the god of death, Crane, Luke gained a completely new understanding of how to unleash combat techniques during battle.

[Gluttony Slash Lv.4: Proficient (13/40)]

【Imagination Manifestation lv.3: Proficient (16/30)】

【Crimson Rampage lv.2: Beginner (16/20)】

The proficiency of both [Gluttony Slash] and [Imagination Manifestation] has increased significantly.

【Bloodstained Rampage】is about to reach the level 3 proficiency threshold.

At the same time, [Stealth and Evasion] has finally broken through to level 2.

Even the skill he just mastered, [Mind's Eye Sword], is approaching level 2 in proficiency.

Despite having a panel, Luca's speed in improving combat skill proficiency has always been terrifying.

But this time, he mainly benefited from the influence of the long-sleeping guide named Derian, which boosted his overall combat power.

If only I could experience that strange state of being filled with divine power again.

Let alone breaking through to level 3 in his profession, Luca could potentially level up two or even three levels at once.

Of course, such things are rare and can only be encountered by chance.

Thinking of this, Luke looked down at the bronze ring he was wearing on his index finger.

Since killing that necromancer, this ring, formed from "Fatal Touch (Imitation)," has fallen into complete silence.

Perhaps I should try to find a place with a large amount of death energy to see if I can reactivate it?

Luke stroked the outer ring of the ring, feeling a ticklish sensation in his heart.

Not to mention the ability of this special longsword to be imbued with divine power.

Its strengths lie in its ability to deal extra damage to undead creatures, coupled with its already top-tier forging craftsmanship.

The extremely comfortable feel of holding it in his hand was already making him extremely envious.

Unfortunately, it's all just empty talk now.

Luke had no choice but to prepare to buy a new, suitable weapon in the city of Ryan.

But before that, he had something more important to do.

[The Miracle Fantasy successfully materialized the projection of the necromancer Klek]

Luke had already reached a conclusion through numerous previous experiments.

Miracle Fantasy cannot be applied to the common civilized races of the continent of Rildran.

Whether they are humans, dwarves, halflings, elves, or orcs, including Veronica, who is a Tyflin, etc.

Whether dead or alive, they cannot become objects for Luke to replicate.

The necromancer named Klek transformed himself into an undead creature at the end of the battle.

With a try-it-out mentality, Luke actually managed to activate his talent and materialize the other party's projection.

It seems that the other party has been identified as a special monster by the panel, and even its name has been thoughtfully marked.

The abilities Luke gained after copying the projection also brought him some surprises:

[Gained Attribute: Perception +2]

This is the first time Luke has encountered a projection that can directly increase his attribute points since the "Ash Lord".

Only after becoming a professional did he realize how difficult it was to acquire attribute points.

Without the help of external aids such as medicine or magical items.

The main source of attribute points is still obtained by increasing job level.

Even a physically strong adventurer would need at least several years of training to gain one or two points of improvement in attributes such as strength, constitution, or agility.

Not to mention the intelligence or charisma attributes required by the spellcaster.

Ultimately, one's potential is largely determined by talent.

Luca also maintained a rigorous training regimen and never stopped fighting monsters.

But perhaps because the time was too short, apart from his body becoming a little stronger than when he first transmigrated, he was still able to survive.

They still haven't improved any attributes through their own efforts.

This time, by replicating the necromancer's projection, I immediately gained two attribute points that directly affect the panel.

Enhanced perception attributes, although they do not directly improve physical fitness.

However, the ability to observe details, the insight to understand people, and the ability to save against control spells, etc.

All of these are closely related to it.

Luke could clearly feel that his observation of subtle things had become more accurate and keen.

This is a significant improvement for the combat skill [Mind's Eye Sword], which requires observing the opponent's movement trajectory.

Gaining proficiency in the future should be much easier.

The ability to enhance a necromancer's power through [Imagination Manifestation] is also very useful.

A beam of green light shot out from Luke's fingertip.

It was that spell, improved and upgraded by Klayk, that could be used at a ranged distance within a mid-range area:

"Trembling Touch - Revised".
