Blood Assimilation

Chapter 193 - Quest Rewards And Picking An Occupation

After confirming that he needed to kill more beasts to complete the quest from his system, Randy was resolved to complete it no matter what as the system's reward might be something valuable that he could not give up on, and if he did, he might end up regretting his decision in the future.

Therefore, he had been clearing the dungeon over and over again without stopping to take a break to rest. The only time he rested was when he went inside the safe room for a few minutes to eat his remaining rations and drink some water to relieve his moderately parched body.

…

A few hours later.

At this point, Randy was still fully immersed in killing the beast without stopping, up until the system flashed across his vision, announcing something to him. 

[[The Quest, 'Kill 1000 Dungeon Beasts' have been completed]] The system stated.

Despite seeing this, Randy did not stop hunting the beast as he was currently on the tenth floor, and he was trying to be meticulous with what he had started, and thus, he finished all of the remaining dungeon beasts off before departing the dungeon. 

At this moment, he was facing the strongest beasts in the dungeon, which were elemental beasts with attributes like fire, water, wood, ice, lightning, earth, metal, wind, and there were even darkness attributes beasts. 

Although for some reason, there was no light attribute beast in the dungeon, puzzling Randy as to why that was the case, but he did not think much about it as he had long since noticed this from before. 

However, the good part about this discovery was that the dark attribute beasts were weak against his light attribute mana. 

With that discovery, Randy had made the habit of getting rid of the pesky dark wolves and the other dark attributes beasts that kept sneaking in the dark and trying to attack him from his blind spot. 

[Sacred Sword Skill Activated]

A beam of holy light glowed from Randy's sword and extended for about meters long before stopping. 

Afterward, Randy observed the beast creatures in the distance, about 20 meters away from him, and then without hesitation, he swung his sword horizontally at a speed that the beast creatures could even follow, not even the swiftest beasts could evade the incoming attack, was instantly sliced through by the beam of golden-yellow sword light.

Cleave!

BOOM!!!

A huge explosion occurred shortly after with the surrounding mountain cleaved into two halves from Randy's sword skill just now.

'This skill is really awesome, but it drains too much of my mana points, so I have to sparingly use it in battles. Otherwise, I might risk getting killed when I run out of mana points afterward.'

After a while, when everything settled down, Randy observed his handiwork for a while longer before turning his gaze away, and then looked on the blue screen on his left vision before urging the challenger's system shortly after.

'Challenger's leveling system, I have cleared his dungeon more than 20 times, so is there some sort of reward for clearing the dungeon besides what I was promised? After all, there's no way that there'd not be any reward after this kind of achievement, right?'

[The user would be given his rewards after exiting the dungeon]

"After exiting the dungeon? Well, alright. I am so tired right now… not physically but mentally. This is my first time killing so many creatures. Oddly enough, I don't feel anything despite killing this many living creatures… Are they even living creatures?" Randy pondered to himself for a few moments.

"System, the reward better be worth the pain I have to go through" Randy looked at the golden screen on his right as he stated these words.

Soon after, Randy got out of the dungeon through a yellow portal that appeared behind him, and very soon, he was given his reward as promised.

[Congratulations to the user for being the first challenger to clear this dungeon on the first attempt]

[Reward: Fangs and Furs of the hunted beasts. Additionally, some elemental beasts had mana cores within their body and thus was included in the rewards]

'What? That's it? What happened to the rest? Isn't this reward simply what I was promised to obtain?' Randy expressed his doubt as he was expecting to get some treasure like a gauntlet or a useful sword. 

Although he had that blonde man's sword with him, he did not want, no, he did not dare to openly use it without making sure of its origin beforehand, so he needed a replacement for now.

However, the next moment, he was shocked by what he saw displayed in front of him. 

[The rewards for clearing the dungeon of beasts would be a Legendary-rank 'Shadow beast leather armor', an S-rank 'Glacial Beast Sword', and an additional reward, a spatial artifact containing all the beast furs and fangs that has been processed by dungeon]

[Furthermore, you have been awarded the title 'Beast Slaughterer" for your feat of killing more than 1000 beasts within the dungeon of beasts in addition to your already granted title 'Dungeon Conqueror' for clearing the dungeon in one single attempt]

[Beast Slaughter]

[Title Effect: When you engage in a fight with beast-type creatures, your attack damage would increase by 10%. Furthermore, this title could evolve in the future, which would depend on the amount of beast-type creatures you kill in the future] 

Randy could not hide the smile on his face as he saw the rewards, especially after seeing the armor and sword. 'Those were S-rank and legendary-rank treasures. Although I have no idea how much a legendary-rank treasure is worth, I can somewhat attest to an S-rank treasure. But why did I receive shadow beast armor? Isn't that useless when I am using my light attribute sword skill or any light attribute skill for that matter? From the name, I could tell that it was made from the dark attribute beasts within this dungeon. 

Randy uttered shortly after: "How do I receive this reward?"

[The user only needed to check his spatial ring. All the items received are placed inside the subspace within the ring]

"The spatial ring…?" Randy frowned, looked down at his hands, and then said in a clear doubt: "But I did not receive any ring… Oh, when did this get on my finger?'

Randy was inwardly shocked that he did not notice it when something had attached itself to his finger.

[The user does not need to worry. This spatial ring has the camouflage and silence property, and it can attach itself to the owner without causing any discomfort]

"Oh, is that so." Randy said, clearly still taken aback by all this. He thought he was vigilant enough, but it turned out even a simple ring could evade his vigilance. 

With that out of the way, he proceeded to head out of the dungeon by tracing his way out through the hallway from earlier, and very soon, he reached the other end of the long hall.

At this moment, he recalled something and said: "System, can you tell me about the valuable information when I get back to the city?"

[[As the host wishes]]

[Ding!]

At this point, the challenger's system notification rang inside Randy's head and ears with a few lines of texts scrolling on the blue screen on his left vision.
