Both skill books were ones that Lu Ming had already mastered, so he first had Benjamin, who might cooperate with him in the future, and Agardran, who had come to help, learn them. Then he let Sham and Philner choose for themselves, although he didn't really want to give it to Philner. But at Sham's insistence, he had no choice but to do so.
Just as Lu Ming had thought, the gravedigger, Agdran, had not learned the grating cannon, but only the metallic sound.
After Benjamin and Agardran finished learning their skills, Sham had Philna take both skill books, but she herself didn't touch either. This puzzled Lu Ming, but Sham never did anything wrong, so he could only assume she had some ulterior motives.
Chapter 11 - BOSS [Vestad]
Standing in the hall, after distributing the spoils, Philna looked at the white mist gate with great confusion, not understanding what the white mist was or why it was condensing at the gate and not dissipating.
Meanwhile, Sham also began to inquire about Lu Ming's strategy for using the 'King's Shield' behind the fog gate.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming had never actually played the game, and he didn't remember anything from the video walkthrough. So he could only make things up: "I'm from Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, and this is Dorangreg. How could I possibly know everything?"
"So, you mean we have no intelligence left?"
"Yes." Although he was helpless, the dungeon still had to continue, so Lu Ming could only give Sham and the others some advice.
"The Royal Shield Vestad wields a hammer, so we must avoid its attacks as much as possible. Getting hit will be fatal. Also, it might perform a few miracles, so be careful."
“Once we enter the White Fog Gate, you two, Agdran and Benjamin, will keep Vestad's attention. I'll freeze its legs with ice magic, and then Sham and Philna will attack it from behind!”
Finally, remember to be careful!
After assigning their respective tasks, Lu Ming and his three companions, along with Agardran, who believed that Vestad would violate the rules of the Undead Temple just like the Dragon Riders, entered the White Mist Gate!
As soon as they entered the White Mist Gate, a tall knight with his back to them, kneeling on the ground and praying, came into view.
"You shouldn't have disturbed the King's contemplation!" Seemingly having noticed Lu Ming and the others, Westard picked up a large hammer that looked like a holy bell and slowly walked over.
It coldly stared at Lu Ming and the others, and loudly proclaimed, "Perhaps you have your own reasons, perhaps you are that woman's people. But whatever your motives, I, one of King Vandrak's three knights, King's Shield Vesterda, will never allow you to come near my king!!"
"A loyal fellow? Too bad, you make it sound so nice, but I wonder if you were planted by Du Na Xiang Zhuo!" Lu Ming smiled slightly and casually threw a Franz short arrow at Westad's fairly decent face.
"Is that so? In that case, you may stay! Leave your corpses behind!!"
Touching his face where he had been struck by a Franco arrow, Westard saw the blood on his fingers and charged at Lu Ming and the others with a roar.
"Spread out, don't stand together!" Lu Ming immediately ordered the other commanders as Westerstad charged over.
He then used his high-speed movement to dodge Westerd's heavy hammer.
"The Royal Shield, is it?" After dodging Westard's attack, Benjamin quickly found a favorable position, drew his dragon-hunting bow, and pointed the dragon-hunting arrow, which resembled a short spear, at Westard: "I don't know if you're stronger, or Lord Dragon Hunter Onstan. But neither of you can withstand this arrow of mine!!"
With a roar, Benjamin fired a terrifying dragon-hunting arrow.
The great arrow pierced the air with a deafening roar, and like a shooting star, it tore through the armor of the Vestergaard as he raised his hammer to strike the Vestergaard of Agardlan, piercing its right lung in an instant!
"Cough!" The damage to its lungs almost caused Vestad to collapse heavily, but relying on its strong willpower, it endured the excruciating pain and still managed to bring down the heavy hammer.
However, thanks to Benjamin's shot, Westard's attack was dodged by Agdran. Although he was shaken by the shockwave from the hammer slamming into the ground, it was much better than being hit squarely in the bullseye.
"Fine Snow!!" On the other side, Lu Ming saw that Westard had been injured by Benjamin's Dragon-Slaying Arrow, which was more terrifying than those of the other Silver Knights. He immediately exhaled a sharp blast of cold air, freezing a thick layer of frost on Westard's legs, making Westard's already unsteady steps even more disordered due to his injuries.
"Damn bastards!!" Westard roared, his legs bound by frost and his right lung ripped apart by a giant arrow. He then slammed his massive hammer into the ground and shouted, "Earthquake!!"
Instantly, a yellowish-brown energy wave spread outwards along with the violent shaking of the ground, striking Lu Ming and the others.
Without hesitation, Lu Ming immediately shouted to the others, "Jump up!!"
Hearing Lu Ming's shout, everyone jumped up and dodged the energy wave of the earthquake.
However, because he was trying to warn others, Lu Ming didn't have time to jump up and was hit hard by the energy wave.
Lu Ming, who had been knocked flying and crashed into the wall, struggled to his feet. He wiped the blood from his mouth and glared fiercely at Westard.
"Ground-type skills? Too bad they're not very powerful!" After slowly chugging down a bottle of elemental flask, Lu Ming, holding the Irithyll Straight Sword and the Aries Staff, walked step by step toward Westerstad.
"Then what kind of magic do you have?!" In response, Westard raised his heavy hammer and smashed it down on Lu Ming.
Unfortunately, Lu Ming only took one step back to dodge Westerd's attack.
"Catch it!! Crystal Soul Gun!!" A black-robed woman's phantom suddenly appeared beside Lu Ming, and together they raised their magic staffs high. Each of them fired a Crystal Soul Gun, which struck Westard's right arm, tearing it to pieces in an instant!
Because his arm wielding the heavy hammer was blasted off by the Crystal Soul Spear, Westard hurriedly caught the hammer with his left hand, then shook the holy bell on the hammer and sneered, "Dark Storm!!"
Suddenly, an unimaginable darkness erupted from beneath Westad's feet, transforming into a storm that raged through the room.
But just when Vestad thought Lu Ming was doomed, it heard a strange smile on Lu Ming's face and immediately realized that Lu Ming was just bait and the real killer was not him.
Unfortunately, by the time it realized what was happening, a sharp sword pierced its neck from behind. The razor-sharp blade shattered its cervical vertebrae, leaving it barely clinging to life.
However, at that moment, a bright light suddenly flashed from Vestad's body, and terrifying energy was gathering in its heart.
"Not good!" Upon seeing this, Lu Ming immediately rushed towards Philner, who had plunged Hyde's longsword into Westard's neck...
With a deafening "BOOM!!!", everyone was thrown to the ground by the shockwave, but Philner, under Lu Ming's protection, was not harmed by the final explosion in Westard.
As she lay on the ground, she discovered that Lu Ming, who had been protecting her while lying on top of her, was seriously injured!
Before Philner could react, Sham scrambled to his feet, rushed over, helped Lu Ming up, and helped him swallow the Element Bottle.
Seeing Lu Ming, who was seriously injured because of her, Philna was deeply moved, but for some reason, she did not express it. Even after Sham helped Lu Ming drink two bottles of elemental vials mouth-to-mouth, which almost healed his injuries, she did the same.
“…” Sham glanced at Philner indifferently, his brows furrowed, and he didn’t say a word.
Meanwhile, Agdran and Benjamin had already gotten up from the pile of shredded flesh and picked up a skill book, handing it to Lu Ming, who had recovered somewhat.
"The earthquake skill book?" With Sham's help, Lu Ming struggled to his feet. After glancing briefly at the cover of the skill book, Lu Ming asked Agardran and Benjamin, "Have you both learned it?"
“We both learned it the moment we touched this spellbook,” Benjamin and Agdran said after exchanging a glance.
Lu Ming nodded slightly, used the skill book, and then turned to look at another room in the room.
After glancing at Vandalek, who had transformed into a giant ghost, Lu Ming had Sham help him around Vandalek, who was pacing back and forth in the room without the slightest aggression, and brought him to a pile of ornate clothes.
After taking a ring from inside, a campfire suddenly appeared nearby and burst into flames.
A monster, seemingly formed from intertwined tree roots, slowly emerged from the campfire.
“Andil, the scholar of original sin.” Lu Ming, holding the ring of Vandrak in his hand, looked at the monster emerging from the campfire and said subconsciously.
"You know me? Very well!" Andyl looked at Lu Ming with eyes burning with the First Flame, and said with a smile, "Lord of Cinder of the Undead Legion! When was it that you too were consumed by self-immolation, and what do you see now?"
"Is it firelight, or the abyss of darkness?"
"It is a cycle! The fire will eventually be extinguished. And at the end of the next era, the fire will burn again in the abyss, and even more fiercely."
"Hehehe! Lord of Cinder! What you see is so far away. It's a pity that my foolish brother didn't meet you at the last moment of his life. What a regret!" After receiving Lu Ming's reply, Andil stretched out a flame from the ground and injected it into Lu Ming's body.
"Now you've left that cycle of reincarnation, no longer bound by the Undead Legion. Go! Go see the original scene, carrying Vandrak's last wish..." After a burst of laughter, Andil burrowed beneath the campfire and disappeared.
Immediately after Lu Ming and the others arrived, they had Benjamin relight the campfire that had gone out because of Andy's departure.
As soon as they sat down by the campfire, Lu Ming, Sham, and Philner lost consciousness.
-----------------------------------
Upon returning to Plu, the first thing Lu Ming did was take out his phone to check his profile and see if there had been any changes due to Andil.

'All attributes increased by 10, plus another strange thing in parentheses?' Lu Ming thought to himself as he opened the attribute panel.
Then he discovered three new messages on his phone.
Upon opening the message, I saw two achievement messages and one from Du Na Xiang Zhuo.
"Congratulations on obtaining the achievements: [Torch], [Scholar of Original Sin], and obtaining Miracle Lightning Spear x1, Giant Lightning Spear x1, Sun Spear x1, and Spell Seal Sun x1."
"I really have to thank you for taking down Weststad. But if you think I'll let you off the hook, you're sorely mistaken!!"
From: Du Na Xiang Zhuo.
Lu Ming chose to ignore Du Na Xiangzhuo's threats.
The Thunder Spear, Giant Thunder Spear, Sun Spear, and Sealed Sun, which are achievement rewards, are directly added to the skill bar, just like the Dark Orb and Soul Resonance before them. Therefore, they don't require any special conditions; as long as the catalyst is available, they can be used. However, Lu Ming doesn't have the Cursed Fire, and Bajeton only has one left, so it's impossible for him to get it. This means that Sealed Sun is currently just a skill that can be viewed but not used.
With a slight sigh, Lu Ming got out of bed and started getting dressed.
As Philna watched Lu Ming getting dressed, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes from under the covers, which Sham noticed.
Just as Sham was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Oh no, sister! Zalak has been captured by the hunters!"
The person knocking on the door was Philna's sister, Shumira, and the Zalak she mentioned was Philna's brother!
So when he heard Shumira's shout, Mingfeier hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and planned to go to the hunter's secret hideout to check the situation.
“Leave Zhalak’s matter to me. You’d better not go to the (hunter) camp lately, lest the Grand Duke think you’re planning something again.” Just as Philna was about to open the door and leave in a panic, Lu Ming suddenly grabbed her.
After glancing at Lu Ming, whose face didn't show much expression, Philner thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and handed over the matter of Zalak to Lu Ming.
Seeing this, Lu Ming, who thought Philner would refuse, was slightly taken aback, then laughed, kissed Philner and Sham who came over wrapped in a blanket on the cheek, and then opened the door and went out.
When Shumira saw that the person who came out of her sister's room was a man, not her sister, she was taken aback at first, and then respectfully called out, "Brother-in-law!"
"Hmm. Shumira, right?" Lu Ming smiled as he glanced at the little girl who bore a resemblance to Philna.
"Yes!" Shumira nodded heavily.
As Lu Ming walked downstairs, he said, “You and I are going to the (hunter's) camp. Also, remember that you are going on behalf of the Grand Duke. You must tell the Grand Duke everything you see there.”
"why?"
