Chapter 46: Skill Book

Although confused he didn't panic or anything, since he still has Lily he can ask.

"Lily? Do you know when I finished the two achievements?"

『Masta finish it just now~』

"What!? Do you mean that I was at the Floor Boss all this time? Then those 5 idiots were the boss monsters of this Dungeon ?"

Ian was surprised, really surprised. He didn't think the 5 idiot ogres were the boss monsters. 

"Haaaaiiissst!"

He sighs exaggeratedly. Here, he was excited to fight a Boss Class monster to witness the boss room with a boss monster sitting on its throne with a weapon standing on its side.

With minions on his throne left and right ready to sacrifice their life for the thief king while waiting for him who cleared the rest of the level.

But all his expectations shattered like an egg of a man that made him boil in anger, he was about to vent his anger on the poor ogre body that still wasn't vanishing but stopped when he heard Lily's voice.

『 No, Masta~ The Boss Floor was on the 20th floor 』

Hearing Lily made his anger subsided a lot. But he was still confused if it's true.

"Then why did you said that I already cleared the dungeon if I am not even on the boss floor lest defeat the boss when I am not even on the Boss floor?"

『Masta cleared the dungeon because he destroyed the core of the dungeon that made Masta cleared it. So even without going to the Boss Floor masta already cleared the Dungeon. Which also made you receive the Dungeon Destroyer. 』

"What!! So the Core was on this floor? What a surprise! I didn't think I could destroy the core by coincidence.." 

Ian was really surprised. He didn't think the massacre he did to the goblins will be wiping their existence in this dungeon.

Looking at the mess he made, Ian whistled from how the forest became a place where a typhoon passed for a few seconds that made the trees that were standing tall now lie on the earth with their body in half or destroyed.

Now that he knows the reason for his achievements Ian strides for the next floor. He needs to fund the Portal leading to the Boss Floor for him to return to the surface.

Funding the Portal was not hard, it only takes him five minutes before entering it. Of course, he didn't forget his loot from the monsters he killed.

All the monsters already disappeared while Ian was resting so he just needs to pick all the weapons dropped and the crystal core from the monsters.

What he looted was of course the Crystal Core with different kinds of sizes, like the CC of the ogres that have the same size of a fist which is the biggest CC Ian saw in his career as a porter and being a recent raider.

For the Weapon Dropped, Ian's got a lot of Assassin daggers and out of five Ogres, only one of them dropped a Shoulder armor protection.

He wants to inspect the armor for how the bullets are not working on them but alas he doesn't have those skills or abilities at the moment so he just keeps it in his inventory and later asks Miya to hire an analyzer for more details.

Another five minutes before he finally locates the Gate leading to the Boss Floor. But instead of Portal Gate, it is a huge Gate made of unknown metal that is colored red, which gives an ominous feeling from just staring at it.

Pushing the gate with both of his hands, Ian didn't feel any resistance at all, as if the gate was made of paper despite its appearance. But Ian didn't care about it and entered the room.

What he saw inside was like how he visualizes the room of the boss floor. A throne in the middle but without its boss. Instead, there is a book on the throne.

The monsters protecting the king were also gone, but remains from them remained signifying that there is a monster protecting it.

It's not unusual for the monsters to disappear after the core of the dungeons was destroyed. The monster comes from the Core and the core was like the heart of all monsters, so destroying the core not only means the destruction of the dungeon but also the downfall of all the monsters living in the said dungeon.

But Ian's mind was not on those trial things, instead, he was focused on the book that was on the throne where the Boss on this floor was supposed to be.

The only conclusion Ian has is the book was Item dropped from the Boss after it disappeared.

Without thinking, Ian was already hovering in front of the throne with a thin book in his hand. 

"Hahaha!! It's a skill book~!"

Ian laughed echoed in the room, he didn't expect a Boss would drop a skill book after it disappeared. Ian knows how lucky he is for obtaining a skill book from a monster since it was a rare occurrence. 

A skill book won't appear if the monster was not intelligent enough to wild magic. Because only those monsters that have the same intellect as humans adults or above can conjure magic since it needs a high INT and also a huge amount of energy reserve, that's why Mage was rare even on the human side.

Although the human has high INT they don't have vast energy reserves like the monsters that were gifted by energy since they were born from that energy.

While Monsters, although they have a tremendous energy reserve their INT was low the moment they were born.

Different creatures with different weaknesses but have equivalent problems needed to become a Mage.

Ian who can't wait to know what kind of Skill it contains directly rip the skill book apart.

Ian read on the internet that ripping apart the skill book was the only way to obtain the skill on it so he did it.

At first, he was also skeptical when he saw it, but after confirming it with his manager Miya, that ripping it was true he finally believes it.

*Riiiiiippp~ Booooom!!*
