The Adventurer System

His left arm was straightforward as he ordered the little girl to use the transparent crystal, so she will be directly teleported to the safe zone.

Yumiro was stunned when he saw the teleportation crystal was unexpectedly dropped by Yuki to the ground. He knew Yuki could easily die if the black reaper slashes her.

"Run, Yuki!" He yelled once again. "Inventory!" Yumiro used the small time to open his inventory, so his fatigue would recover immediately, he then ate one deer meet and drank the sweet beverages.

"No, I can make it!"

The distance of the Hiller Knight within Yuki was around 28 meters, while to Yumiro was 15 meters and increasing.

He tried to stand up, but he stumbled his footing eventually fell to the ground. His knees shivered as his stamina was not completely regenerate.

"I'll not give up, I should think of another plan." He closed his eyes as he wanted to sink in all the possible ideas to survive in this situation.

Ding!

It was like a bulb that popped inside his mind, even though his face was changed into grossed facial expression, but still, he will continue his idea.

"Inventory!" Yumiro clasped the most larger core's inside in his inventory. "I just take away, for now, the value of this core. I should focus to survive in this place." He mumbled while in grasp the monster's core that had the same size as the rugby ball.

A sound of broken glass occurred in the area, as Yumiro aggressively bit the monster's core without making any second thought.

"There's no turning back! This is the only thing that I can do, to repay the little Amiya."

[Core Devourer]

Then suddenly after he swallowed the small parts of the red crystal, his eyes were transformed into glowing yellow eyes, and his skin tone was turned into a green color with a rough texture.

More likely, Yumiro ate the core of the green frog that he got after becoming a popular adventurer.

He didn't waste any amount of time, and also, didn't give a chance to see what was the other skills of this core.

[Ribbit!]

His tongue was quickly expanded that could easily embrace the monster's waist. The Hiller Knight looked as it wondered what was going on.

"Hew, camf back herf!" He couldn't speak properly as his tongue was revealed at the moment.

After those words, the monster stopped moving as Yumiro hardly tugged it back with the help of his bare hands.

Boom!

Since it had the elasticity and the momentum he got from the monster dashed. It strongly bounced back to the concrete wall then created a collision.

He losses the grasped of his tongue to the monster, so he could properly send a message to Yuki.

"Yuki, just hide! Don't say any words, and don't worried about me! I'll be the winner of this matchup, okay?" Yumiro yelled with a grinned on his face, it seemed he was way more confident right now.

Her glistened black hair was a move as she nodded with Yumiro's words. Seemingly she fully understood that her voice could lure the monster directly to her.

'Take care, Brother Grim. Also, I don't want to be the reason, to kill you by that monster.' Inside Yuki's mind.

Some of the torches were passed off since the monster landed at them. However, the place wasn't dark anymore as the ceiling could illuminate some light that came from the outside.

Yumiro glared in front of him, seeing his fight wasn't over. Aside from that, thanks to his [Core Devourer] skill because the bleeding passive effect vanished.

"Now, I know this skill is so strong even though I didn't have any magical poke skill, but still fine" His eyes were showed that he was really by his skill.

Only his long white hair could recognize with him, and the rest was totally different, he way more looked like a demi-monster.

Still, a battle was battle. There was needed to stand out with both of them. Or to be exact, one of them will probably die.

[Hiller Knight    HP:603/800]

"In just one attack, I already deducted his health power by 60. If I continue like this, there's a big chance to survive." He mumbled then started to be aggressive.

Now, Yumiro was the one who decided on this fight since he could fight in close combat even a long range-combat.

[Ribbit!]

Yumiro didn't hesitate to engage the monster, to avoid using its black reaper to make an unexpected counterattack.

[Remaining time: 1:35 hrs and 2 seconds]

The [Core Devourer] skill just had 30 minutes duration, if he couldn't win within the given time. He might be losses the chance to escape in the Lynx dungeon and take another adventure of his VR life with Yuki.

In 15 meters of distance, his expanded was swiftly entered the dust of smoke. It was like a whip that hardly slapped the monster's armor.

He knew his attack was landed since he could hear the sound of metal.

The monster's HP was decreased by 25 health points in each attack. "I'll not stop until I can't see you didn't die." His tongue was stretched into the mid-air, and planning used gravity to increase the damage.

[Slash!]

Then suddenly Yumiro quickly pulled out his tongue as he felt the monster blade was touched on it.

His sense of smell was developed because of the frog's ability, so he smelled a strong smell of iron that hanged in his green nose.

"What's that? What the!" He realised there was the spilling of blood out of his mouth, so he tugged to see it clearly as he bothered what will happen to him if some parts of his VR body were destroyed.

He deeply sighed as there was just only a small slice on his tongue and the main reason why there was plenty of blood because it was the soft part of the body.

"Thanks to the elastic texture of my tongue, the blade is just absorbed the attack. It seems I can't do repeat the same process, this monster easily learns how it can counterattack."

[Hiller Knight    HP:453/800]

"It will not last long, my body is fully recovered." He jumped and reached the 15 meters of distance in just one second, "I understand, I never expect the frog's ability is useful."

In 2 meters, the monster was ready to swing his blade, and when the moment Yumiro came closer. The black aura occurred again in its reaper, seemingly it will launch an attack that way more different from earlier.

[Rising Slash]

The endpoint of the black reaper was pointed to the ground, it seemed the monster plan to separate the adventurer's body into two pieces coming from beneath.

"Do you think I'll let you do that? Inventory!" In his grasp was the Kariki knife, as he knew the monster blade wouldn't penetrate if he successfully deflects it.

[Physical transmission!]

Clang!

The black aura was getting stronger and stronger while the two metals clang to each other.

His feet were slid back, and eventually lifted "No, this mo..."

Boom!

Yumiro's was sent to the mid-air and his back was whacked onto the ceiling and created a large hole that dazzled the monster since strong sunlight touched its eyes. The Hiller Knight dropped its reaper, so it could cover its eyes.

"This is the end! It doesn't matter if I destroy your core!" Yumiro yelled as he didn't take any damages as he was just absorbed the impact because he had the frog body.

[Physical transmission 90%!"

He took away in his mind for saving the core, even though he knew it could help him in the future.

His whole green body gleamed with the touch of light color red that circulating his body. He was like diving in the air while clenching the Kariki knife with both hands.

He was aiming at the left chest of the monster, where was the core position. "I'll put all my strength in this, I hope it becomes successful!"

In just 5 seconds, Yumiro still saw the monster wasn't recovered from the sunlight, so he used that chance to hardly stab the monster's chest.

Swish!

Half of his arms was penetrated inside the monster's chest, in the place, where he could feel the sticky blood that dripping his hands. Also, made him uncomfortable.

Break!

A sound of broken glass, as Yumiro pulled out his arms and destroyed the monster's core without any second thought.

After the big fight, Yumiro suddenly kneeled as his stamina was drained once again. He had snickered on his face, "Yuki is safe now, there's no need to worry about." He said with a weak tone and laid to the ground while seeing a large screen came from the system.

Thud!

Thud!

Yumiro heard footsteps that seemed to rush at him. He clasped his knife, then rolled so he could what kind of monster was that.

"Yuki?"

"Brother Grim! Are you okay?" Yuki said with blubbering eyes and kneeled to the ground.

But Yumiro couldn't answer the question when they heard a dinging sound.

[Lynx dungeon raid successfully!]
