second day in tower

The next day, Ryan entered the tower from his home. He is wearing his usual hiding mask. As Ryan is running towards the toxic forest to kill the mini boss today, he met Maria and her team on the way. He just looked at them and ran towards the deep side of the forest. As he entered it, he is ambushed by serpants from left and right. But he started killing them and created a massacre there and used the necromancy skill to raise their skeletons. This phase has no need for undead. He needs the undead for later.

As he is running through the forest killing serpants and using Gluttony he observed a notification that's not there before :

[ Demonic Power +0.01 ]

Demonic power is growing. Although it's slow and low, this may be a good thing. Raising stats without assigning them. And demonic power and holy power are different from other stats you need to use 2 points to raise one point in them. Ryan is vary of this power.

Ryan's dagger edge gleamed with a cold light as it spinned and cut open the scales of serpants and killing them. As go deep into the toxic forest he came across the swamp. The mini boss resides in this swamp. The poison known to shut down one's nervous system and burns their blood like lava in the viens. In the end once this serpant bites you if you don't treat yourself in half an hour. You can book a ticket to underworld. The boss monster of toxic forest,

Red serpant of the swamp, Blood Viper lv 15 :

It's the 5 levels higher than the goblin chief and more swift. The blood viper hissed at him and charged at him. Ryan at the huge serpant that's almost twice as a wide as him and stretches to at least 10 meters easily. He parried the head on blow and tried to cut open the scales. But the scales are tough. Only dents are formed. Ryan cursed and jumped up dodging the coil.

Ryan saw the blood viper trying to swallow him. As it's mouth reached him to swallow in mid air. He smirked and used the dark flames on the mouth of the blood viper and then used a big ice shard to cover it's mouth. An explosion occured, one side of the blood viper's mouth is scarred and torn. It roared in pain.

Ryan though didn't stop, he started meking dents on the same spot again and again and eventually broke those scales. But he is caught off guard by one of it's tail swing which dodged but it swung it's tail in reverse which hit Ryan's body. He flew and hit the nearby tree.

He stood up trembling and muttered while wiping the blood from his mouth," it looks like I need to blind you first ", he used dark flames on the viper bombarding it. Then followed by ice shards on it's eyes. The viper closed it's eyes andprotected itself. But then, Ryan jumped on the viper using wind boost and accelerate.

Then when it opened it's eyes he created another dagger in his hand from frost and pierced both it's eyes. It roared in pain and swung it's head around hitting the tree and boulders to get rid of Ryan on top of it. But Ryan is already left the head and instead focussed on the charred part of it's mouth.

He pierced the skin there and dragged the dagger in the opposite direction slicing the side of it's mouth. Then dodged it's tail swings and charges. It seems it's tracking him with seismic sense. Ryan used Frost Control to hit the wounds on the viper while it charged at the direction of the attack.

Jumping on a tree he avoided the blow and climbed on the back of the viper. Running on it he coated his dagger in dark flames and dug the dagger once again at the wounded part of it's mouth. Pushing it further he sliced a section of it's scales and neck. It hissed in pain and tried to bite him which he avoided with frost spear in its mouth. As the spear pierced it's mouth from inside it broke but did some damage to the viper.

As it opened it's mouth Ryan once again fired frost spears into the viper's mouth. The spears injured the viper further making its moments sluggish. Ryan moved up and slammed the viper's head with the dagger concentrating every single bit of his strength. The shell made of scales on its head is broken and the dagger dug into the viper killing it.

Ryan landed on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to see the blood viper lying dead, he used necromancy on it and store it away in the undead pocket too. Then he noticed something shining on the ground. Going there he saw a small red stone like orb which made him smile. He picked it up and saw the description :

[ Gem of Red Viper

Rank : C

Effects :

- adds the trait "Blood Poison" to your attacks

- attack +10% ]

It's an enchanting type of equipment. Can be used as both material or an enhancement gem on weapons. Ryan prepared to sell this off. He already got the blood poison skill. Ryan plan sell this off. But who will give him a good price for that. As he is thinking Maria appeared with her team. Their weapons and clothes are bloodied.

Ryan asked," the boss is already dead ", Maria looked at the item he is holding and asked," what is that you're holding? ", Ryan shook the stone in air and said," oh this. This is the Gem of red viper. Do you want it? ", Maria scoffed and said," I can ask my father and get it myself ".

Ryan turned around and said," good luck ", he started walking away while Maria asked," wait ", she bit her lip and asked," what do you want in return for that? ", Ryan smiled and said," I want the potion of holy light ", Maria looked at him with a dull gaze. A gem of sacred light is equal in rarity to the gem of Red Viper. Just one difference, it's rarity is outside the country. But in silver alliance, you can dungeons with monsters dropping them. Although the drop rate is low, you can find the gem of sacred light if search hard.

But the gem of Red Viper is a very are one compared to this. Only one dungeon spawns the boss monster with this gem and the bid is also very high. This gem is good enhancement for equipment due to it's guaranteed blood poison effect. Gem of sacred light allows one to get light attribute on their weapons. But if you can get holy power too if you know an alchemist and and made a deal with him to get the potion of holy light. A B rank difficulty potion that priests and bishops pay to get a large holy power boost for short time or get holy power stat in their status.
