Death's Dance
[Lv.1 Death's Dance]
D++ Class
You pass by your enemies like a shadow taking their heads with you. Your movements are elegant and swift seemingly like a dance. Each attack you make injures heavily and leads to death. This skill is specially customised to the owner bringing out of his potential.
It has two parts to it, one that buffs the owner, the other that allows the owner to see weaknesses. The skill when activated continuously drains mana from the body until it is deactivated.
Effect 1: [Murderous Blade Dance]
A self-buff skill made for fast killing. You fill with murderous intent boosting your attributes immensely.
Strength +25, Agility +40, Sense +25
Effect 2: [Critical Hit Eyes]
A special skill that allows you to see the weakness of the world. You see all in black and white except spots of weakness. These spots are highlighted in red. The deeper the red the more fatal the weakness.
Skill Cooldown: 20 minutes
Noah was satisfied with the skill.
It gave an incredible buff almost doubling the agility he had. His strength boost had reached level 5 as well and now gave 15 points into strength. With it layered on he would have almost a hundred per cent increase in strength as well.
Other than that it increased his sense attribute which greatly helped in fights. The sense attribute contributed to how strong his spatial sense was. So the higher the sense attribute the greater range and strength his spatial sense showed. For fighting multiple monsters it allowed him to have no blind spots.
What was really interesting was its second effect. The ability to see weaknesses was something he needed. He didn't have the time to sit and study the physique of each monster to figure out its weakness. Being able to know where he should attack to kill monsters quickly was exactly what he wanted.
"I should try it out." He then looked to the door that had a dungeon lord on its other side. He sat down and rested to recover the mana he had used then walked to the door.
He pulled out his weapons and walked out of the area.
Aaawwwoooooo!
Intimidation Howl!
His attributes dropped. Noah shot at the wolf, with his E class gun mastery he kept the wolf at a distance as he moved around the area waiting for the debuff to fall.
The debuff wore off he immediately activated all his buffing skills: Cold Mind, Strength Boost and Death's Dance.
The world around him lost all colour as it turned to shades of black and white. The large black werewolf was now coloured in red. Most of its body was a pale red showing that it wouldn't do much damage. But around its neck, head and the right side of his chest were a dark blood red.
Noah dashed forward, his body astonishingly fast. He reached and left two streaks on the werewolf passing by it. A deep gash in the form of a cross formed on its chest directly over the place that was its heart. His high strength had allowed the sword's blade to pass through like its iron-like muscles like mud.
The wolf howled in pain, it quickly followed with the use of a skill.
It opened its mouth.
Black Wind Burst!
Quickly after it followed.
Full Moon Howl!
It buffed itself and attacked Noah.
Noah dodged the Black wind and launched himself at it again. He lightly twisted letting his body letting the werewolf's arms pass by and hit the floor, he then stepped on it and used it to jump towards its head. He then thrust his sword through its throat killing it. He then pushed out with his legs pulling the sword out.
He landed on the ground with the backflip as the dungeon lord's body fell to the ground.
[You have slain the Dungeon Lord!]
He then felt exhaustion fill him. All the skills were deactivated and his mana had completely drained.
"I wasn't even able to keep it active for a minute. The mana cost isn't I can handle for a prolonged fight."
Noah got up and walked to the dungeon drops. Other than silver only one more object had dropped it. It was a hunting rifle.
[Black Wind] (F+ Class)
Intelligence +10, Willpower +10, Sense +20, Mana +5
25% increase in magic damage
15% decrease in mana usage
20% decrease in cast time

Active Skill 2: [Black Wind Burst] A black pullet embued with the power of wind causes more damage and knocks the enemy back.
cooldown: 2 minutes
Noah picked up the gun and shot with it. Bang! Bang! Bang! The bullets he shot were stronger than the opens steel magic gun shot.
"I got lucky this time, this gun's exactly what I need."
Noah opened his status page.

His attributes had a decrease in agility and an increase in all his other attributes except the first three. Other than Black Wind had a higher increase in magic damage dealing 15% more than the Steel Magic Gun. Contrarily it didn't decrease the mana usage as much as the Steel Magic Gun and the biggest change was the cast time reduction was only 20% compared to the Steel Magic Gun that halved it.
"It's nice that it causes more damage. The change in the decrease in mana usage isn't significant. Currently, only strength boost has a cast time, it'll take a bit longer to cast. I still can't make use of the attribute increase since I don't have any attacking magic skills."
Till now only one spell had dropped and that was the fireball spell Alice learned. He wasn't concentrating on attack power for ranged combat so he didn't think of learning it. Although he would be able to do more damage with the spell, it was better that Alice learned it to remove the weakness of not having any ranged spells.
He walked out of the dungeon and got back onto his horse and made his way back to camp.
