Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 111 Small Break.

*Ding*

[Congratulations on clearing the Ninth floor. All the rewards will be distributed while exiting the Labrinth.]

[Please move to the next floor.]

"Great, now we just have to clear the Tenth floor," Shin uttered while more notifications started flooding in.

[You have killed 780 Blue Tauruses.]

[You have gained experience.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

You have leveled up.]

[You have killed Miny-Boss Minotaur.]

[You have gained experience.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[+50 Bonus stats for leveling up.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 110 stat points.]

[You have absorbed a new skill 'Horn Rush (B)' X780.]

[You have absorbed a new skill 'Rage (A)'.]

[You have acquired Minotaur's Blood (Item).]

[You have acquired 2 Minotaur's Horn (Item).]

"Great." Shin was very satisfied with his gains.

"Now we just have to collect the horns of all those Tauruses," Shin uttered.

"Right, I'll let my servants collect them," Alice said as she came close to Shin. As she was walking her body transformed back to her normal self.

"Thank you, Alice. I'm glad you are here with me." Shin said with a charming smile.

Alice's lips curled as she blushed hearing Shin compliment her.

'Uhhh, this is unfair.' She pouted while blushing. But she was happy.

At that moment another notification came in.

[For reaching Level 40 your Special ability is ready for the Second advancement.]

[Do you wish to upgrade it now? ]

[Yes/No.]

[Note:- The upgrade will take 6 hours. The host can move freely and the upgrade will continue. If the host wants to skip the time frame. The host will bear some pain as a penalty.]

"Ohh, my Plunder is ready for a second advancement. That means I'm going to get a new special ability." Shin exclaimed with excitement on his face.

The last time he advanced. 'Plunder' ability gave him 'Devourer's touch' ability.

'Devourer's touch is a very useful skill for long battles with a high number of enemies. The more enemies I have more I can fight.'

It was an indefensible skill. But the advancement made Shin think of a certain matter he always ignored.

'Why do my other abilities don't have advancements?'

'Well, it's not like I don't have any idea.' Shin thought while sighing.

Ability is special to different people as they only have one. But Shin can take others' abilities. Normally one person shouldn't have more than one ability but there ate exceptions.

All the other abilities he got are there because of his ability 'Plunder'. So they don't advance separately. It means if he advances his plunder, all the abilities he plundered will also have the same effect after their advancement.

That means his powers will increase. This arrangement does have a problem. Shin can't get the special skills reserved for those abilities. He has to be creative while using those abilities.

"If I can upgrade just like that. Then there's no problem."

"Okay, start the upgrade," Shin said giving his acceptance.

[The Second Advancement is starting...]

[Ability 'Plunder is upgrading....]

[0.1%]

...

...

"Well, that's settled. Now I can focus on other things." Shin muttered while his focus turned to the black figures and Alice who were busy collecting horns of the Blue Tauruses.

"I should help too." Shin activated his extreme speed while he also started collecting the materials.

A while later. All the materials were collected. Although many materials were destroyed. Like burned by Shin's Dark flames or got blasted off with Alice's Soul bomb.

'That was indeed a loss. But we can't do anything about it. It's still better though, we have materials of monsters that are not available on the market.' Shin thought while removing the horn of the monster in front of him.

Shin tightly gripped the horn. But not with too much force as to crush it.

'We are going to be rich.' Shin giggled with a weird smile.

'Why is Shin smiling like that?' Alice was a little weirded(Creeped) out but she decided to not say anything about it.

She had decided to accept everything about Shin. So a little weird(creepy) smile is not a problem.

[You have obtained 2370 Blue Taurus Horns(Item).]

"So there were around 1200 Blue Tauruses win total. Huh." Shin uttered while his raising his finger to his chin.

'Well, it was within my expectation.' He had estimated the number to be around that much.

Shin saw the time remaining for his upgrade to complete.

[Time remaining - 4 hrs 5 minutes]

"So it took us approximately 2 hours to collect those horns. Hmm." Shin murmured.

Shin recovered his exhausted Mana and energy by using the devourer's touch. Alice absorbed all of those bodies in her soul grimoire.

"Should we head to the next floor Shin?" Alice asked as they had already collected the materials.

"Umm, the gate is nearby but I think we should eat something first," Shin suggested to which Alice happily agreed.

"Of course. I have prepared some lunch boxes." Alice said excitedly. She had woken up early just to prepare for this.

Shin was very shocked by her words. His brows furrowed as he thought of something.

Seeing his reaction Alice's eyes turned teary. Could it be she did something wrong? Did Shin didn't like the idea of eating it?

"You don't want to eat it?" Alice asked mustering all their courage while her hands were trembling in fear. She believed Shin had loved her cooking so she wasn't expecting this reaction.

"No No that's not it," Shin replied with a flustered expression. He never expected her to misunderstand him.

Seeing Alice barely holding herself from crying Shin decided to come clear.

"I want to eat it."

"I love your cooking."

"I was just surprised. I mean, where did you keep the boxes?"

"I didn't see you carrying it." Shin gave his explanation.

"Ahh, that," Alice exclaimed as she understood the problem.

"I kept it in my Soul space. After my second advancement, I can keep whatever I want in a separate space with my skill and don't have to carry things around." She explained everything to Shin.

After hearing her explanation Shin nodded his head.

He was very surprised by this revelation. This skill of hers is very handy. She could keep anything within the space of 20 meters cube. This was also a part of her soul space.

"Hmm, wait a sec. If you had this skill all this time why didn't you use it yesterday while I was carrying those weapons we shopped?" Shin questioned her.

"Um, they vanished before I could suggest using my skill. I thought you also had a similar skill to mine. So I didn't say anything." Alice answered while feeling a little guilty.

Shin facepalmed.

'That's right I still haven't told her the uses of my abilities and skills. My status is changing very fast. I should take some time and explain to her these things.'

"Don't worry about it. Let's eat first." Shin said as he patted her head.

Alice smiled back at him and immediately two lunch boxes appeared in her hand.

Inside her Soul space. She can keep things fresh. So the lunch was still hot.

"This is delicious Alice," Shim exclaimed while enjoying the dish.

"Hehehe, Thank you."

"Let me feed you here." Alice got excited and suggested feeding Shin.

He was surprised by her sudden suggestion.

"Maybe it's a bad idea?" Alice thought Shin wasn't comfortable with this.

Shin shook his head and replied.

"I would love to." Shin smiled and opened his mouth.

'Only an idiot would reject this.' He thought inwardly.

"Hehe." Alice was delighted.

"Do you like it?" Alice asked with gleaming eyes.

"I love it. Your food is very tasty Alice."

Alice blushed with a bright smile on her face.

"Of course. I am very good at cooking. Even mom says so." Alice said with a smug smile hiding her embarrassment.

"Yeah, please continue cooking delicious meals for me. For the rest of my life." Shin said while he gently placed his hands on her cheeks.

Alice's face turned even redder. She was very happy.

"Yes, I'd love to."

'I want this happy moment to last forever.' Alice thought while giving him another bite.

They continued eating their lunch with a happy smiles on their faces.

Both of them enjoyed this moment.
