Chapter 42: Class Advancement

Elior sighed in relief. He was right. There really was a hidden reward for killing a higher-order boss alone. Though he got this type of reward before in the previous timeline, he was not sure if there was a reward for an apprentice who has not reached the first order yet. Turns out there was.

+50 Mana and +50 Health. That was 10 free attribute points if he used in intelligence and constitution. Though it was little compared to the rewards of higher-order dungeon master, it was still generous enough. Elior welcomed all the rewards; after all, every little drop of water made the sea.

As for the title, Lizards Killer—it was almost useless at the moment. He already found it easy to kill what this Title could do.

Now there were a few things left. First, Elior moved to the dead dungeon boss and cut its head with the sword. Blood sprayed in large amounts and he did his best to avoid it. He cut further until he found what he was looking for. It was a small black ruby, even smaller than his nails, glittering a little in the dark.

[Chaotic Mana Core:

Grade: 1. Mana Condensation: 2.78~3

After a chaos fiend had their first evolution, a mana core started to form inside their body, but as the Chaos fiends were tainted by Chaos, their core turned into a Chaotic mana core—though very few had a working mana core.]

This thing would sell for about fifty thousand guardian credits, though he had no intention of selling it. Even though the mana core was tainted with Chaotic aura, it was still useful in many ways such as artifacing or alchemy. But its most important usage was in the Chaotic arc reactor. That was a revolutionary thing that still had not been properly invented yet.

After that, Elior dealt with the other lizards that were remaining. He had found a couple more chaotic mana cores inside the other lizards—those who were capable of using the poisonous breath, but their mana condensation was even less than 1. The bodies of these lizards would have been useful in some way and could have sold for some price, but he had no way of carrying it out—not to mention what he would say when selling. He could only abandon them.

The fever was rising inside his body. The poison was causing its effect. He needed to leave the dungeon soon, but before that, he needed to destroy it.

There were few ways to destroy a dungeon. The brute way to do it, was just to destroy it with raw mana force though, very few used this way. The other way was to kill all the monsters inside the dungeon, including the dungeon master, and the dungeon would dissolve by itself.

But in some cases, if there was some candidate left who could succeed in being the dungeon master, then the dungeon, the chaos wall would not dissolve. The dungeon would have weakened for a while, but it should still be a threat.

Elior had no plan on finding every lizard that was living inside it and may even be the eggs. And it's a little peculiar here. Considering some outsider tweaked the dungeon, both the way might not work.

So he would go the third way. Find the core of the dungeon and destroy it. Finding the core was not a hard job, usually. It was the place where the dungeon master stays most of the time.

Only after moving to the centre of the region did he find a cave inside the cave. He went inside the murky and slimy cave and found a few lizards inside those who were mostly small and incapable of fighting, but still came at him squeaking.

Elior clicked his tongue and moved to the centre. The chaotic mana density raised the further he walked. After reaching the end of it, he found what he was looking for. There was a small stele glittering with blacking red and purple runes. Without considering, he slashed his sword and destroyed the pillar.

Abruptly, the chaotic mana inside the dungeon twisted in a swirl as it was emptied into a black hole, though it was quite slow. It would take a couple of hours to dissolve the dungeon entirely. The little thing he just destroyed was the dungeon initiator. It was a cryptic rune device that could transform any region into a dungeon over time.

Someone must have hidden this dungeon initiator here. Probably some lackeys of Shadowblood. He rested the thoughts there; he was too tired to contemplate that even though it was an important business

Elior focused on something that would help him in brightening the mood.He walked out of the soon-to-be dissolved dungeon and found his bag on the ground outside. And finally opened the status window.

[You have cleared the grade-1 Dungeon, Lizards Cave.]

[You have gained 2 Million guardian credits.]

[Hidden rewards Unlocked! You have cleared a grade-1 Dungeon on your own. You will have the privilege to choose a Normal grade ability.]

[THe list of suitable classes is available now. Please make advance to the first order.]

Now, it was time to choose a class, but before that, he needed to choose an ability. Fortunately, he did not have to ponder over what he needed. He scrolled to the window of the ability and searched in the tab with the keywords, Poison resistance.

A few options opened and only one among them was normal Grade Poison resistance. Elior chose it with no second thought because there was no better ability he currently needed other than the poison resistance.

[Congratulations! You have gained Minor poison resistance LVL 1.]

Elior revolved the mana inside his body as the poison resistance worked against the chilly poison that infected him in faint proportion. He would probably be cured in a couple of hours.

Dealing with the poison, Elior then examined himself. Other than the pain in the back, there was no injury, but he was smearing in filthy, tainted blood of the lizards. Before, he had no time to clean it. He stirred the mana inside his body and forced out the filthy blood from his skin. It worked like a charm, though he was still reeking of the stench of blood and his clothing was still stained with blood.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to bring spare clothing with him. He opened the bag and looked at the cell phone to find it was about 3 a.m. It took him a little less than two hours to clean the dungeon. A good productive night.

Now all that was left was changing into better clothing and choosing a class. Elior stripped down and collected the blood-soaked clothing in the bag in a plastic container. It was not good to leave evidence at the crime scene, though it was not a crime scene. At least not his.

After changing into another hoodie and trousers, he finally opened the window where the list of classes was shown. His lips curved up into a sneer the moment the text appeared in his eyes.

[Most suitable class for Guardian Apprentice Elior:

- Knight of Faith

- Magic Lancer

- Magic Swordsman

- Mage

- Swordmaster

- Berserker

- Magic Engineer

- Rampager

- Rune master

. . .

- Apprentice Mage (Beginner)

- Artificer Apprentice (Beginner)

. . . ]

On the top of the list was the class 'Knight of Faith' written in golden lines. Below a few of the classes were silver-coloured, and the rest were the yellow or normal white test. Golden implied it was a legendary class, silver for Unique ones and yellow for the special ones and the rest were for the normal.

For the first class advancement, there was more path than he had ever seen. And the first few were not beginner classes. Fortunately, the system calculated well or he would have to make way for a beginner class like the previous timeline.

The class he had chosen for the first was Artificer Apprentice—a beginner level auxiliary class, but this time he needed something else.

He eliminated the first golden lined class without considering it as it was not the first time he was offered that class. It was the same class that he had chosen for his fifth class in the previous timeline, and he knew it was just a trap to bind him to the deities. They had tried it at the end of the trial and now again.

Though that was entirely a bad thing, it was still something he would rather not do. There were few things that he needed to do and being the apostle of the deities will disrupt it.

After considering for a moment, he came between three options, Magic lancer, Rampager and Berserker. Magic lancer because he cultivated Spear the most in his previous timeline, while Berserker was his third class. And lastly, Rampager went along with Berserker, though it was more violent and wild.

His eyes narrowed, and in the end, he chose Berserker. Magic Lancer would give him more mastery in the way of the spear, but he was more familiar with the Berserker class. It gave him only one ability, but it was worth it compared to the lancer class. After all, a Berserker was known for its overwhelming power.

[You have chosen the Berserker Class. Please be still and calm for a few moments. The succession process will start immediately.]
