Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

[Stigmata Attribute: None]

Lynn was stunned when he saw the system, especially the skill level system.

Lynn wasn't too surprised that his erudite mind had improved by learning about the arrow frog.

But after that failed ambush, Stealth quickly improved to level 2, far exceeding Lynn's expectations.

He gained 13 experience points all at once?

Such a rapid improvement?

That means... Lynn immediately realized something and turned to look at the corner.

Listening to the croaking, Lynn's eyes flickered uncertainly.

His previous failures have left him somewhat bewildered.

But considering the benefits of this skill...

After a few seconds of silence, Lynn gritted her teeth, crouched down, and chased after him.

Meanwhile, Mira, who had returned to the front of the arrow frogs, was strolling through the maze corridors with great interest.

Behind her, the arrow frog, completely unaware that Mira had turned back, was frantically puffing out its cheeks and spraying acid at her!

However, those arrow-like shots of acid only ended up hitting the walls and the ground; none of them managed to get within three meters of Mira.

"Quite active, it seems the dungeon is in a period of high activity lately."

Mira turned her head and glanced at the arrow frog behind her, her body moving through the maze as if gliding.

For a seasoned adventurer, memorizing the map of the first-floor labyrinth corridor is a fundamental skill.

Therefore, even though the hundreds of arrow frogs that had been attracted by the scent were croaking loudly, they were unable to catch up with Mira's pace, let alone intercept her at the fork in the road.

"However, there seem to be too many arrow frogs this time. It might put too much pressure on newcomers trying to stay in stealth mode..."

Mira, her feet barely touching the ground as if gliding, said thoughtfully:

"The guild's dungeon entrance also needs cleaning up. Let's do that later so the others don't have to clean up the monsters on this floor when they come down..."

Just as Mira was muttering to herself, she suddenly noticed that the arrow frog following behind her was making a strange cry.

That's the cry that comes when a companion is killed!

[Ding! Basic Swordsmanship +3]

[Ding! Stealth +5]

Lynn, who had pierced a sword frog through the back of the head with a one-handed sword, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The second attack went exceptionally smoothly.

Stealthily approach, aim for the center of the head, and thrust out!

Lynn turned a sword frog into a 'kebab' with almost no effort.

After succeeding, Lynn did not covet the opportunity and immediately prepared to retreat.

"Let's get out of here, we'll come back next time."

But at this moment,

"Quack quack quack!!!"

A sharp, piercing scream came from the one-handed sword!

Seeing the arrow frog hanging on the sword in front of him, constantly croaking, Lynn's expression changed, and he immediately cast an Appraisal spell on it.

[Ding! Appraisal skill +10, Appraisal skill up, Current level: Lv2]

[Wail: The final mournful cry of a dungeon monster when it senses its impending death; it has the function of attracting other monsters of its kind.]

"Dying actually gathers monsters? Isn't this dungeon a bit lame? Is this Miyazaki Hidetaka's smile?"

Lynn, holding the still-crying arrow frog in his hand, suddenly looked up and stared straight ahead.

Directly in front of him, a group of arrow frogs hopped on the spot, turned 180 degrees, and stared intently at Lynn with their large, emotionless black eyes.

As Lynn flung the dead arrow frogs off his sword, he gritted his teeth and said:

"This is a disaster."

There was no other way... Lynn narrowed his eyes and mentally activated the skill level system.

Although he could wait for Mira's rescue, Lynn dared not gamble on the possibility that he might be killed by the monster before the rescue arrived.

so....

System, let me see your potential!

Chapter 10 Be careful not to become a lazy, pig-like adventurer who only knows how to level up!

"Croak! Croak! Croak!"

The cacophony of frogs assaulted my face.

After spotting Lynn, at least 40 arrow frogs abandoned their pursuit of Mira and turned to pounce on Lynn.

Above your head, on the left and right walls, and under your feet!

As if glued to it, the arrow frogs surged towards Lynn like a writhing wall!

When Lynn faced the green frog wall, his face turned almost green.

Only when facing this horde of monsters did Lynn understand what it truly felt like.

My heart was racing, my legs were cramping and felt weak, and my brain was temporarily unable to think.

On the one hand, they were frightened by the unexpected situation.

On the other hand, the stench that wafted over when the arrow frogs swarmed in made Lynn extremely uncomfortable, as if he had a mouthful of mud in his mouth.

'Damn it, system, downgrade all my skills right now!'

[Erudite Mind: Lv5→lv1]

[Identification Skill: Lv2→lv1]

[Ding! You have gained 2 skill point.]

[Stealth Lv2 → Lv4!!]

In that instant, Lynn felt as if a pot of hot water had been poured into his brain, scalding his eyelids and causing them to crease violently.

Those things about breathing, gait, and center of gravity were forced into his muscles.

Lynn even felt his feet instinctively adjust their angle as they landed, as if his body was negating his previous thoughts based on its own experience, directly changing his logic of action.

"Quack quack quack!!"

The frog wall is closing in!

With his Lv4 stealth skill, Lynn glanced at the arrow frogs and could immediately tell that his chances of escaping from this wall of frogs were less than 20%.

No!

Your level isn't high enough! You need to level up again!!

After realizing this, Lynn hardened his heart.

'System, lower all my swordsmanship! Put the points into stealth!'

Faced with so many monsters, Lynn didn't think his swordsmanship was good enough to break through the encirclement.

With so many arrow frogs, he would have died long before he killed them all.

Besides, Lynn understood that Mira wouldn't let him die right under her nose.

Therefore, as long as Lynn runs fast, he can stall until Mira's reinforcements arrive!

All he had to do was avoid dying before Mira arrived!

In that case, all skill points should be put into stealth!

[Swordsmanship Basics: Lv4→lv1]

[Ding! You have gained 1 skill point.]

[Stealth ↑]

Stealth reaches level 5, Agility +1, Stamina +1

in an instant,

Lynn's breathing rate suddenly changed!

The continuous notification sounds in his ears did not affect his mood.

He suddenly crouched up, turned his toes, and charged out like a leopard in the direction he had come from.

"Ok?"

Mira, who was observing from the crossroads behind her, glanced in surprise at Lynn, who rushed out in front of her. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Lynn's fast-moving yet light-footed figure.

"This is... the official start of stealth?"

Mira was stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Lynn had already disappeared from her sight.

"He seems to have run towards the isolation barrier... He remembers the route quite well."

As Mira spoke, she turned around, and with a gentle grasp of her hand, she caught a white light.

She turned her gaze to the encircling wall of frogs, a smile appearing on her face:

"It seems the teaching results are exceptionally outstanding."

"Quack quack quack!!"

The croaking of frogs seemed to be echoing her speech.

At that moment, the croaking of the arrow frog also attracted Mira's attention.

"Is that about it?" Mira glanced at Arrow Frog, then muttered to herself, "Being attacked twice at the same time will cause him mental problems... It's time for him to rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white light in Mira's hand condensed into a slender and exquisite one-handed sword.

The next moment, Mira crushed the white light that had gathered in her hand.

The white light dissipated, like a handful of sand gently slipping through your fingers.

When the white sand landed, all that remained on the ground were the mangled bodies of a group of arrow frogs.

"It's time to go and comfort the poor newcomer who's been scared."

Mira chuckled softly, and her figure disappeared into the maze-like corridors.

-----------------

Next to the isolation mirror.

Lynn leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

"Holy crap!!"

"You almost scared the hell out of me!!"

"Luckily I ran fast!!"

"Would you like some water? But remember to hold it in your mouth and don't swallow it. Just moisten your throat."

The sudden sound made Lynn's face stiffen.

He turned his head and glanced at Mira, who was standing not far to his right, holding a brown water bag. His lips twitched slightly.

What are you doing here?

“Of course I came after you,” Mira said with a smile, her tone relaxed.

"What about those arrow frogs just now?" Lynn pointed behind the isolation goggles.

“Of course, everything has been resolved,” Mira said with a smile.

At this moment, Lynn looked at Mira with a very subtle expression.
