Chapter 37 - Dragon pet. (Patreon)

I didn't know what was happening but knew my familiars had done something. That's good, that's wonderful! I had finally reached level 6 and was close to getting 1,000 points.

And when I got those points, I would buy the [ Pride ] skill permanently. Seriously, I'm looking forward to it.

I want to use the "slot" I'm using to keep it with another skill. I need lots of other skills...

I'd like... one to improve my skill gain and also a skill that allows me to steal skills.

If I'm correct, the [ Greed ] skill allows me to do something like that. But I'll have to check it out later.

'Right. Now, let's get on with our plan to kill some monsters. The problem is that there aren't many monsters to kill in this area.'

Kumoko was staring at me and waiting to know what I would do. I nodded to her and started running. Of course, I didn't use all my speed, as she might be unable to keep up with me.

But I was worrying too much. I forgot that Kumoko is very fast.

After running for a few minutes, I decided to take a different route that I hadn't taken before. 'Ah, it's true... My monkeys didn't find their way to the middle of the labyrinth. They didn't come back.'

From now on, I'll send all the monsters we kill to search for the middle layer of the labyrinth.

[ We'll keep going until we find a strong monster ]

Writing on the walls was becoming increasingly difficult and time-consuming, and the sentences were getting longer and longer. And it wasn't often that Kumoko managed to understand what I meant.

She tilted her head, confused.

[ keep going ]

I pointed to that part, and she nodded. Then we kept running until we bumped into a small group of monsters. I stepped back and let Kumoko take care of them.

She killed them all mainly using her poison.

Once they were dead, I approached them, changed all their statuses to [ Alive ], and ordered them to search for the middle of the labyrinth.

I started doing this with various monsters until we finally found something I wanted. 'Finally, a strong monster after all this time!' Yes, it is a dragon. But it's not Araba.

He was far away, so I couldn't see his status. But because of its appearance, I'm sure it's not him.

I looked at Kumoko, and she seemed a little worried.

[Do you want to fight?]

I asked.

Kumoko stared at me briefly, then scratched the ground with her leg.

[ YES ]

She's excited to fight! I should let her have some fun.

[ Okay. Be careful. ]

Kumoko pointed at [ YES ]. I smiled at her, and then we left our hiding place. As we got closer, I could finally use my Appraisal skill to see his Status.

And as I imagined, he's weaker than the others.

In addition to his base Status, he had some abilities similar to those of Gehre and Kagna. He was like a mixture of the two, but his abilities were much weaker.

If I edited my Status to 20,000 and hit him, I could kill him easily.

'I should let Kumoko have some fun, though.' I looked at her, and although she was nervous, she seemed excited. Maybe she's only confident because I'm here with her. I'm sure if she were alone, she'd be scared.

And then, as Kumoko walked beside me, she suddenly hid behind me. Fuit turned to face us.

'Don't be scared.' I nudged her with one of my legs, and Kumoko gave me a few "punches" to leave her and concentrate on the battle.

'System, edit my strength and speed to 5,000.' I don't need to exaggerate.

When my Status was at 5,000, I ran toward the dragon. Fuit, who didn't think I would attack suddenly, tried to counterattack.

However, I managed to hit him with ease. I punched him in the face and threw him back against the wall.

HP 1.634/2.898

'Opss~~' My attack turned out to be stronger than I expected. Even his defense and resistance couldn't help him.

Kumoko, who saw Fuit lying motionless on the ground, decided to make her move. I watched as she used her cobwebs to hold him to the ground.

When he was already trapped, Kumoko bit him, injecting her deadly poison into him.

'She's doing it~~~'

Fuit's HP was being drained rapidly. After the attack I gave him, he practically lost consciousness. I thought this dragon was a bit stronger.

'If I'm not mistaken, he's a young dragon, so it makes sense... But I didn't think it would be so easy. '

And then Fuit's HP reached 0.

When it reached 0, I used Appraisal on Kumoko and noticed she had gone up four levels with the dragon's death.

[Great, let's continue.]

But Kumoko refused to continue. She wanted to try that dragon's body.

But... I remembered something.

[ No, you can't do that. ]

I approached Fuit's body and changed his body's Status to [ Alive ]. Since I hadn't hurt its body, it was practically whole. It even looked like a dragon that had never been killed.

'It's a shame that all the stats have dropped so much... But fortunately, some skills have been kept. And some very good ones.'

'They're all low-level, but there are a lot of them... That's wonderful. I should increase his life a bit. I don't want him to die quickly.'

I increased HP, SP, and strength to 30.

When the dragon roared in front of me, Kumoko hid behind me. I smiled, and then the dragon bent down to show it was submissive.

'Good boy.' I said to the dragon, and he looked happy. 'Come with us for now, but don't do anything. I don't want you dead.'

I didn't think getting a Pet dragon would be so easy. I hope to evolve him as soon as possible.
