While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 25 - Completing Stage 2



Adam stood with his back against the wall, and was covered in blood as he faced off against the slowly approaching final three coyotes.

His daggers dripped blood.

​​

Adam weirdly felt a satisfied feeling after killing and it was almost as though he slightly enjoyed it.

Instead of feeling upset that he enjoyed the thrill of battle and killing beasts, but instead of facing a probable truth, Adam took a therapeutic approach to digesting the realisation.

[It must be due to the Hunter's Mind that makes it so that I enjoy to hunt and it makes it easier for me as I don't feel guilty after killing beasts] stated Adam who avoided the thought of he himself enjoying the battling and subconsciously avoided any thoughts that would bring him a mental crisis.

The three smart coyotes stuck close together as they approached Adam who was also slowly retreating as he planned his next move.

Despite the intelligence stat of Adam and the coyotes not being far off each other, the intelligence was subjective to each race that would vary in application, so a human having a 10 intelligence stat could be comparable to a beast with a 30 intelligence stat in terms of intelligence when it comes to retaining and using information.

However, the intelligence stat is not only limited to mental capability but also includes sensory ability and the use of energy.

So despite them not being as directly smart as their stat shows, they had very sensitive senses and had different applications of their high intelligent stat compared to Adam who had improved mostly on mental capability and sensory ability.

He knew that taking them head-on, although he would still be able to defeat them, would cause him injury and use up his HP and MP that he needed to save for the final stage.

He had the option of using his summons from the Collector Unique Skill, but didn't want to become too reliant on the ability and also wanted to save his MP.

As they continued to approach him and he kept the same distance between himself and them, Adam after a few minutes didn't reach a solution that wouldn't use up his MP and or HP, but had a risky idea that he had thought up that might work.

"I don't have time to waste and need to finish this now" he stated as he burst off his feet towards the left.

As he ran to the side he was running in an inward arc so that he could collide with the beasts in the centre of the enclosed cave they were in, so that he would have space to manoeuvre.

With a 7-metre distance between them, Adam and the beasts were charging at each other head-on, exactly like had guessed.

The beasts expecting to collide head-on for close combat battle were not prepared for the risky move that Adam had planned.

From 5 metres away Adam used all the force in his arms and tried to get the aim and trajectory as accurately as possible as he threw the dagger in his right hand aiming at the coyote in the middle.

The dagger was too quick to be dodged and the coyotes were running in that direction anyway so their momentum would only make the strike more fatal.

The coyote in the middle was trapped with no way out as the dagger struck the middle of his forehead, splitting his head and slashing into the coyote's brain.

Reflexively the two other coyote beasts jumped to the sides and changed the direction they were running in slightly, which is exactly what Adam was planning for as they played right into his hands.

Dashing towards the coyote beast towards his left, Adam was overjoyed that his risky plan that had many uncontrollable variables and contingencies actually went in exactly the way he planned.

Passing the dagger in his left hand to his right hand and into a standard grip, Adam was ready to attack.

Despite becoming ambidextrous as an effect of the Hunter's mind that allowed him to have better control over his mind and body, he still felt more comfortable using his right hand that he had used since birth.

The way Adam would battle was that he would use weapons in the most direct and efficient ways that he was able to and inspired to do from movies and series that you would see on television, but had never had any real training on the use of weapons.

By the time the coyote beasts realised their mistake, it was too late and Adam had already reached the coyote beast he was aiming for that couldn't react before it was stabbed dagger.

As Adam drove his dagger into the beast, it wasn't a sure kill strike and the beast slashed back with its sharp claws towards his throat in a final bid to take down Adam with him.

Pulling back his head with all his force, Adam only just managed to dodge the fatal attack, but was deeply slashed from his lip down to his neck.

The deep slash had split Adam's lip and went down to his neck but luckily didn't slice through his throat otherwise the attack would have been enough to kill him.

If it was his real body would have a deep scar for the rest of his life, but knowing that it was merely his dungeon form and had only lost 20 HP, Adam wasn't overwhelmed by the pain and focused on the situation at hand.

Withdrawing the dagger than stabbing the beast in the side again, Adam repeatedly stabbed the beast's side and each time would receive a notification of how much damage it lost.

Until it died and disintegrated into pixels within his hand and so did the beast that Adam had thrown his dagger into its hand leaving behind the dagger on the ground.

With one beast left it was an easy kill and as he ran towards it he swept up his blade into his left hand.

As he reached closer to the whimpering coyote beast, that was intimidated by the scene of its companions being ruthlessly killed, Adam launched himself into the air.

With the force and momentum of him falling down onto the beast, Adam stabbed his two daggers down with each one piercing through an eye and slashing into the beast's brain, as blood squirted onto Adam's face.

Falling backwards onto the ground Adam had finally completed the stage as the beast disappeared and his blades fell onto the ground, while he lay there.
