Chapter 67
Smiling, I turned around to face the jungle. "Let’s keep going, then."
We advanced through the jungle killing the beasts. Since my method was too flashy, it was decided that it’d be better if I just kill them quickly and move on to the next. I stored the bodies for Bonte to butcher later and the stalactites dimmed again at around eight.
We set camp and the Tigea worked on the corpses: skinning and butchering.
That night, Alyssa, Lapia, and Yolin kept watch in turns. I had a comfortable rest and visited my boys, the demons.
A few days of thinning the Uger population went by and we stopped when we found the nests. They were caves on the walls of the dungeon floor. Stronger beasts patrolled around them, and we retreated to let them repopulate. Extinction wasn’t necessary since the hides were useful for a lot of craftsmen, and we’d be fined if the Watchers found out. Not worth it.
We made camp and I took watch. Since the dungeon floor was mostly empty after our bloodthirsty quest, I sat down and read for a while. My eyes glowed and illuminated the pages. I thought back on the first nights I spent on this world and chuckled at the need to use a lamp.
I finished Kingdom Fall, the ending was pretty dark. The lovers of the Queen grew jealous of her giving too much attention to a man long dead. Turns out, it was the harem that killed Rinal at the beginning of the story because he had gotten the Queen pregnant ’too many times’. In her despair, she sentenced them all to death. They didn’t like that, so they killed the Queen. Truly a tragic tale.
Surprisingly, their species were never mentioned. Only eye color, voice, and height were described.
I shrugged it off and opened the book Lapia gave me.
After a few minutes of reading, a few things became clear. All skills could be improved to Rank 3. I only had three such skills. To do that, I would need to add something to the skill according to the book.
That was a little problematic. Some of my skills were useless. Shielded Thrust was similar to Coiling Attacks, they both gave me ’knowledge’ of parrying, blocking, and stuff.
