Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

Chapter 112 Getting Vialmir's Stat



"Elena, handle the one on the left. I will handle the rest of them," Kevin said as little zaps of electricity wrapped around his hand and the tip of his spear.

Kevin's speed was comparable to that of a D-Rank Hunter as he dashed towards a giant spider that was half his size.

*Thrust*

His speed was enough to overpower the low E-Rank Spider Monster as he thrust the spear into its body.

At the same time, Elena chanted multiple fireballs in her hands and blasted them towards the monsters.

Currently, they were in a D Rank Dungeon, and they were hunting E Rank Spider monsters.

"Kevin, above you!!" Elena shouted, noticing a spider creeping on the ceiling above Kevin.

Whenever Kevin used his advanced element, lightning, all his senses were greatly enhanced so he could sense the silent movements of the spider above him even before Elena shouted.

Kevin backstepped as the spider jumped down on him and threw his spear towards the spider. Losing contact with Kevin's body, the aura on the spear dimmed greatly, but the little sparks of lightning were still present.

The spear was strong enough to impale the spider's body even without aura, so Kevin managed to defeat the spider efficiently, leaving the senior who was observing them shocked.

"So, that's the famous Kevin Whiteheart," seeing both Elena and Kevin in action, the third-year boy could not help but accept that Kevin was quite talented.

'But if he is this strong, then what sort of monster Asher Greville is?' the senior-year boy questioned himself.

Right now, Elena and Kevin had killed a total of 30 E-Rank Spiders in a matter of three hours. Going by their speed, there was a chance they could try to take on the boss monster of this Dungeon as well.

"Elena, splash a water spell there," Kevin pointed at the ground ahead of them, making Elena chant a basic water ball spell.

For her, who had an affinity for all elements, it was quite easy for her to use the basic spells of all basic elements.

*SPLASH*

The water splashed as the ground got wet, and three spiders crawled out from behind the spot where the water ball landed.

Kevin's heightened senses allowed his vision to be more clear and precise than other humans near his rank, so he could spot the black spiders despite the spot being dark.

Kevin took his spear and carefully coated it with electricity. He was focusing all his lightning on the spear, and after a certain amount, he threw it very fast at the ground where the water was.

Combined with water, the lightning electrocuted the spiders, but it made the mana inside Kevin's body go down by quite a huge amount.

"Huff, nice," Kevin, who was breathing heavily, fist-bumped Elena.

"Let's aim for the Dungeon Boss as well," Kevin looked at Elena and told her.

"I am ready!" Elena said confidently, and she took a small hand towel from her spatial ring and handed it to Kevin.

"Oh, thanks," Kevin thanked her while smiling at Elena, making her blush a little as he took the towel and wiped the spider's blood off his hands.

These low-level spiders were not poisonous, but their bites could sting an E-Rank hunter. So it was better for them to remove the monster's blood from their bodies.

"I wonder how that bastard would be doing," Kevin was quite confident, thinking that both Elena and he were doing great considering they had killed a total of 33 E-Rank monsters.

And the fact they had a chance to kill the dungeon boss as well made him confident that his performance was quite good so far.

But what he didn't know was that, instead of E Rank monsters, Asher and Alyssa were hunting D-rank monsters and had even fought a C- Rank Vialmir and defeated it already.

*********************

"You can eat," Asher said to Alyssa, who was sitting silently beside him.

"Okay," she replied.

Alyssa looked at Asher, who had no emotions on his face. He was similar yet different from her. For her, masking her emotions was the only way she could live until now. Although the SSS-rank potion had fixed her physical body, Alyssa was even more scarred mentally.

But Asher's indifference was a bit different from hers, but it didn't intimidate her strangely.

"Keep your energy levels high," Asher stood up.

"I will go scout for a bit," he said, while Alyssa nodded at him.

Asher went ahead to look if any monsters were attracted to their presence. Despite the lava and heated climate around them, there was still enough oxygen for them to breathe. The fact that Kirons, which also breathed oxygen, were present in this dungeon was enough proof for them not to worry about oxygen levels for now.

But the heat was affecting Alyssa a bit more than Asher. Her body had become a bit more sensitive now, and the headache from using the spatial ability was affecting her. Until now, she had masked it, but the moment Asher left, she grabbed her head. She summoned small ice shards around her to cool the air around her a bit.

Asher, on the other hand, took out the corpse of the Vialmir in his spatial ring. He looked at the dead monster and put his hand on its body.

"Absorb," Asher said as a red mist came out of his body.

When he had hunted E-rank dungeons before coming to World Academy, he had stopped receiving any stats from them because low-level monsters didn't have similar stats to humans.

But it was different for higher-rank monsters. The disparity grew bigger if the monster was the boss of the dungeon. The boss was always a bit more powerful than the regular monsters of the same rank as itself.

The strange mist covered the body of the Vialmir, and Asher could feel that his mana was increasing.

[Host has absorbed a low C- Rank monster]

[Host has gained +17 mana stats]

'A portion only,' Asher confirmed his theory about his bloodline ability. He was not sure about low-rank monsters, but he was sure that the difference between his and the Vialmir's mana pool was greater than 17 stats.

He was only absorbing around 50-60% of the difference in their stat of the Vialmir, whose mana pool would have been around 120-130. Although it was a rough estimate, but from his rank A mana flow, which increased the level of his innate mana sense, he could compare the stats of the Vialmir to himself.

"ROAAAAAAAAAAAARR," a scream of Hyelther made Asher turn as he took out his sword immediately.

Although still far, Asher could notice the Hyelther running towards their direction.

"Might as well," Asher covered his sword with his aura.

He ran towards the direction of the Hyelther, and after half a minute, he could spot three Hyelthers that were slowly walking towards him.

Asher increased the amount of mana in his leg and ran towards the Hyelthers, the three of them had came out of a big crack in the wall which was probably the direction they would need to go towards to get further into the dungeon.

*DASH*

Before the first Hyelther could react, Asher had already slashed its right leg in half, making the monster lose its balance while it writhed in pain.

Not stopping here, Asher changed the direction of his left foot and used the ground to propel himself towards the Hyelther to its right.

Unlike the previous monster, this Hyelther was ready to attack Asher, but Asher turned his body a bit, making the monster miss its attack on the airborne Asher.

The Hyelther's neck was within Asher's reach as his sword swiftly made a huge cut in the Hyelther's neck. But using the Hyelther's body to slow his momentum, Asher rotated mid-air as he connected the two nodes behind and in front of the monster's face, slicing the head in half.

[Host has gained 500 EXP]

Asher's eyes were glowing in red as his killing intent started leaking out of him. Unlike low-level monsters, D Rank and above monsters never ran away from such bloodlust, but it affected their rationality.

The Hyelther, whose leg was cut, tried to jump on Asher to kill him. But he could not reach Asher as the last Hyelther of the three jumped on the monster on the ground to attack Asher in a frenzy.

Seeing the monster run towards him roaring, Asher sidestepped as he slashed off the hand of the Hyelther.

Alyssa was not here, so she could not see the way Asher truly fought. Not minding the blood that covered half of his body, Asher saw the Hyelther using his other hand to smash Asher, but the monster could not even reach Asher's body as Asher disappeared from his spot and sidestepped, cutting the huge wrist of the Hyelther.

Seeing the two Hyelthers writhe in pain, Asher dashed towards them, beheading them both.

[Host has gained 500 EXP]

[Host has gained 500 EXP]

Asher's killing intent subsided, and his eyes became cold as he looked at his hands covered in blood. It was refreshing for him to finally let himself loose. Dungeons were the only place where Asher could let himself be free.

His endless urge to kill everyone felt sated whenever he would kill a monster. He took the Hyelthers in his spatial ring as he turned to get Alyssa and go further down in the dungeon.

Three days was the amount of time before Asher needed to somehow clear this Dungeon. Their food would last around two days, and venturing deeper, he was not sure there would be many such places to rest and stop due to the biome of this dungeon.

And the fact that there were at least 6-7 Vialmirs roaming in this dungeon was a major concern for him as well. If he could absorb all of them, his mana could rise to the level of D Rank Hunter.

He knew that the mana he could absorb from them would gradually decrease, but that was his only chance to defeat the unknown boss monster somehow if they didn't find the gate before the boss room.
