Chapter 24 - Chapter 23: Su Mo's Skills—Unmatched Power!

After waiting for a bit, and making sure there were no more system notifications, Su Mo felt a little disappointed inside.

Back when he was cutting down the Fear Scarecrow, the system prompts popped up like crazy.

And now you're just giving me this little stuff?

I mean, the attribute points aren't bad, but Ten-Mile Slope even gave me two achievements.

Su Mo shook his head and pulled up the system menu.

[Name: Su Mo]

[Level: 8]

[Awakened Ability: Absolute Defense, Heart of Slaughter]

[Strength: 728] (Base Attribute 721 + Level Up attribute 7)

[Defense: max]

[Speed: 70 (63+7)]

[Constitution: 87 (80+7)]

[Critical Strike: 13% (12%+1%)]

[Spirit: 18 (11+7)]

[Skills: None]

[Assignable Free Attribute Points: 280]

Dungeon gave 160 points of assignable free attribute, and Heart of Slaughter even directly gave 120 points.

It's still not as much as the assignable free attribute points I got from the Ten-Mile Slope dungeon though.

But compared to the Goblin Dungeon, it's a hell of a lot better.

Without a second thought, all 280 free attribute points went straight into Strength.

Ever since running into that boss with over a thousand Defense Attribute, Su Mo's developed serious DPS anxiety.

728 Strength Attribute plus these 280 assignable free attribute points, instantly shot his Strength up to a terrifying 1008.

Breaking a thousand Strength Attribute before level 10!

He doesn't know if anyone else will ever manage this after him, but before him? No way in hell.

But even now, with over 1,000 Strength, he's still not satisfied.

After all, last time the Duke of Furious Fang had over 1,500 max Defense.

If he comes back to farm this dungeon, he'll probably be scratching that boss again.

To be honest, he did think about stacking his Critical Strike up, since that could land some juicy crits.

But after thinking it over for a bit, he bailed on that plan.

Crits are just luck based, nothing like my real, meat-to-the-bone True Damage punches.

The Duke of Furious Fang's corpse—big as a hill—was quickly fading away, leaving a massive golden chest shining blindingly.

Su Mo rubbed his hands together, blew a little warm breath into his palm, then went to open the golden chest.

Instantly, five items wrapped in "fifty-cent-special-effects" rainbow glows flew out of the chest.

Two scrolls, a piece of leather armor, a fang, and a giant axe.

Su Mo really wanted to see what's actually in the Skill Scrolls, and if he can use them himself.

But he thought about it, and decided to save those for last—good stuff should always come last!

So first up, Su Mo clicked on the leather armor he'd probably never use.

[Duke of Furious Fang's Leather Armor: Defense +68, activates Fury Attribute, Fury Attribute +4%, Required Level 20]

Level 20 gold-tier gear, +68 Defense Attribute. Pretty solid, but he can't use it himself—too bad.

Still, this thing should sell for a decent amount.

Next, Su Mo looked at the second item.

[Duke of Furious Fang's Fang: Indestructible, breaks through anything, prime material for weapon crafting, can be made into top-grade golden weapons.]

[Duke of Furious Fang's Fang Description: This is the hardest, sharpest thing from the Duke of Furious Fang. Whether you use it to make a weapon or a shield, it's incredible material. That's if you can even lift it.]

Su Mo glanced at the giant fang in front of him, about two meters thick and eight meters long, and tried lifting it with his hand.

With Su Mo's Strength Attribute now over a thousand, just his raw strength alone was nearly 20,000 jin.

20,000 jin is 10 tons. With 10 tons of strength, Su Mo could probably toss the biggest blue whale that ever lived on Earth for fun.

But even so, when he picked up the fang, he still felt like he was struggling a bit.

Looks like my Strength Attribute just isn't enough yet!

Might be useful to bring this thing back for later.

After checking out those two items, Su Mo's gaze moved to the giant axe.

This was a double-bladed giant axe. The blades together were basically as wide as a door.

The handle was just over a meter long, and with those door-sized twin blades, Su Mo figured you could stand this bad boy up and use it as a shield.

[Duke of Furious Fang's Battle Axe: Strength +120, activates Fury Attribute when equipped, Fury Attribute +5%, Required Level 20]

[Duke of Furious Fang's Battle Axe Description: Made from one of the Duke of Furious Fang's fallen fangs, the insane Strength Attribute boost makes Berserkers drool for one. Only downside—it's heavy as hell.]

Su Mo felt a twinge of emotion reading this description.

Heavy? That's not a downside, that's obviously a selling point!

Su Mo hoisted the giant axe, testing its weight—it had to be over 10,000 jin. Feels just right! Too bad it's enormous.

Plus, if you swung this thing around in public, people would totally think you're just some big dumb brute.

As for that +120 Strength Attribute boost—he didn't get any of it.

Because he hadn't met the equip requirements. Right now he's just carrying the weapon, not actually "equipping" it.

After swinging it a couple times, he tossed it aside.

Meta or not is a patch issue, but looking cool is for life.

Not like I even need that extra 120 Strength!

Who do you think you're looking down on?!

Finally, Su Mo locked his gaze onto the two Skill Scrolls. He rubbed his hands again, a bit nervous inside.

Back when he fought the Fear Scarecrow, that boss was a Spiritual Series type, so even if he got a skill drop, he couldn't use it anyway.

But you, Duke, are a whole different deal! Whether I get a good skill is all up to you now!

[Skill Scroll: Mountain Collapse and Earth Split—Use this scroll to learn the Mountain Collapse and Earth Split skill (Requires 800 Strength to learn)]

[Mountain Collapse and Earth Split: Swing a weapon mightily, dealing massive damage to all enemies in a cone in front of you. Also causes an earthquake effect, making it hard for enemies to stay standing.]

The second Su Mo saw this skill, he got hyped as hell.

Group Attack Skill, meets his Attribute requirement, and best part—no level requirement.

This is literally made for me, man! Once I learn this, clearing mobs is gonna be a total massacre!

This kind of skill is just perfect for a powerhouse like me. And the name—chef's kiss.

Duke, you really didn't let me down!

Su Mo picked up the Skill Scroll with glee, then checked out the final Skill Scroll.

[Skill Scroll: Destructive Strike—Use this scroll to learn the Destructive Strike skill.]

[Destructive Strike Skill: Instantly triple your Strength Attribute and unleash your strongest blow. Cooldown: 30 minutes]

Su Mo felt like running over and giving the just-slain Duke of Furious Fang a big old kiss.

Duke of Furious Fang just treated him way too well. Even dead, he still dropped so much sick loot for him.

Gear, skills, materials, everything he wanted—all at once this run.

Su Mo held a Skill Scroll in each hand and started learning straight away.
