YM778.TV Chapter 100 Beastkin
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, I had already found shelter, a good source of water nearby, and a sustainable amount of animals and beasts nearby that I could kill and eat.
However, after a few more days of this, I finally chose to create a hut out of wood that I chopped down with my blood claws. While the cuts were not the best, they still did the job, and that\'s what mattered.
I quickly created a bit of furniture with things like a small table, a simple chair, and a futon mattress since those were easier to make than an actual full-blown mattress.
[Craftsmith has reached level 5
Sitting down and relaxing for what seemed like the first time in a week, I opened my system again before quickly taking a look at the shop

I continued to read through the contents of the shop, my surprise increasing more and more as I got down to the Mid-Mortal items that only cost about 1250 points, a fraction of the 10000 which the reaper blades cost.
"If only I could convert these points into immortality tokens. It wouldn\'t be beneficial when completing the three-part mission, but it would have been instrumental in the future. Plus, why complain when I have a couple of extra lives?" I chuckled before finally turning away from the item page and opening another one
I would go on to spend the remainder of the day trying to find something that suited me, and eventually, I made a few eligible purchases that threw me down a few tens of thousands in points, yet in my opinion, they were more than worth it.

While I could have chosen to go for a few more items, techniques, skills, or even some of the \'other\' available things, I still chose not to since I knew that overspending was never a good idea, even if my life would be threatened.
I continued how I was as the rest of the week vanished before in the blink of an eye. After a week, I chose to take on several other dungeons that all immediately turned into hell-mode dungeons when I entered them, which only served to verify the theory that Gaia was watching my every move.
Quickly conquering the dungeon, I left within 30 minutes of entering and began to run around the forest in hopes of finding another dungeon, but after a while, my search did not bore any fruit, so I went back to my hut and fell asleep.
**
Five days after my last dungeon, I finally saw something light up on my map with a red dot, an indication that there was a dungeon nearby, and by looking at the map, I quickly found the fastest path toward the dungeon
*Swoosh
*Thud
My silhouette appeared before the dungeon portal with a stoic expression on my face. While I had become used to speaking to someone every day without a care in the world, this became my weakness in the past few weeks as I had no one to speak to other than myself.
This had taken a significant toll on my mental health, and before I knew it, I had regressed back to the person I was before having met Blanca.
Sighing after being reminded of the memories between Blanca and me, I walked into the dungeon and looked around for a few moments before realization hit me.
"So this is my second last dungeon..." A cold smirk stretched out from the corners of my lips before a solemn expression remained on my face as I did nothing but look forward and cover myself in mana
Snow shot from the sky and pierced the winds as if every snowflake had been a dagger in disguise. For the moment where my mana hadn\'t been covering me, I felt light stings all over my body despite having an elemental earth body that would have made something as insignificant as snowflakes, not even itch when hitting my body.
I had chosen against wearing my armor since I wanted to train myself to dodge, but I still had the armor on standby if I were to enter a situation where I was forced to equip it.
From my tests so far, my body alone was capable of taking a fully powered hit from an early liquidous stage without receiving a scratch. If I were to have my armor on, I could only imagine what point my defense would reach
I held my two new reaper blades firmly while a wave of killing intent exploded out of me and covered a large portion of the area around me
"Well, that\'s not normal..." I narrowed my eyes as I looked into the distance. Several corpses with blood and guts splattered all over the ground lay a few hundred meters away. The blood had begun to fade due to the snow covering it, allowing me to conclude quickly that the corpses were fresh and had died about 10 to 20 minutes ago
"Someone has been here... And they haven\'t gotten very far yet.
*Snap
My body disappeared before a snap thundered through the air while the snowflakes around me vaporized on the spot
When I appeared again, steam could be seen coming off me, but that was the least of my problems
My eyes narrowed as I looked down at the corpses below me. I could see several gash marks and cuts all over the bodies of the creatures below me, and while I usually would think that my real problem would have been the boss and the people that entered the dungeon, a slight frown appeared on my face as I looked at the creatures they killed
"Polar bears... Well, polar bears with mana, and these are at least a few times bigger than average polar bearsThe mana crystal in the center of their chest releases mana at the same scale as that lightning leopard. While. While I am more than sure that I can take them on even if there were 3 of them attacking me at the same time, the mini-bosses and the main bosses are on another level on their own." I paused and activated my blood eyes. Instantaneously, red footprints appeared before my eyes as each lit up with different vibrancy. While the older ones were under the snow and were dimmer while the newer ones shone brightly, allowing me to see them even though some trailed for hundreds of meters
"Human footprints... Or at least footprints that look slightly human." I frowned again, but something became apparent at a second glance
"Claws... Beast-kin huh... Well that explains why hell mode hasn\'t activated yet." A sly smile appeared on my face before my body flickered again, steam exploding from where I had been standing before my figure disappeared into the distance.

"Ryla! We can\'t do this anymore! The Blizzard bears are getting to vicious and their nunbers are continuously increasing. If we don\'t run-" A man with silver and black hair pleaded, his cat ears folded back as several wounds gushed out with blood that soaked his coat
His words got stuck in his throat as he received a glare from the woman he was talking to
"I know, but if we don\'t show our worth soon, our life might as well be over!" Ryla hissed back while slashing down with her magi-steel blade
"That\'s not true!" Another boy shouted as he struggled to stab a spear through the beast before him
As the beast saw the spear that had stabbed halfway inside its body, it let out a sky-shaking roar that caused all the snow in the area to dissipate for a moment.
A giant ball of ice mana began to form within the maw of the blizzard bear and in the next second, a silver-blue beam of mana shot towards the boy who had been frozen on the spot.
"Zyder!" Ryla roared out before she levered on her foot and shot towards Zyder at blurring speeds.
"Don\'t worry..." A voice rang out and before they could understand what had happened, a muscular man with black hair and a pair of furry cat ears appeared before the beam of ice mana.
*Boom*
The man slammed the back of his hand into the beam of ice mana and shot it into the distance.
"Klive! You\'re here?" Ryla asked, causing the man to turn back to her with a smile on his face.
Klive looked back and took a glance at Ryla with a warm smile.
"I would never allow you guys to go out and get yourselves killed." Klive replied.
