Chapter 9: Three against One: Extracting the Voidsting Blade
"Right... that goddess did say I could extract anything," Gabriel muttered in a somewhat lazy voice as he watched the system messages flickering in his retina.
"I can't believe I forgot something as important as this." He pinched the ridge of his eyebrows. "But come to think of it, it's just my first day here... things like this were bound to happen."
Although he was curious about what would happen if he extracted the skill, it had to be put on hold for now—he only had 4 EP left in his reserve.
Still, he wondered if he could use Extraction on a skill even after learning it.
Gabriel decided to take a gamble and learn the skill, [Vicious Pounce].
Fighting with a skill could make it much easier for him to hunt down monsters, and even if Extraction failed, he would just accept it.
Suddenly, just as he was about to learn the skill, his senses tingled—he sensed three presences behind him.
Because his perception stat was still relatively low, Gabriel hadn't sensed them earlier.
Calmly, with no trace of panic in his expression, he turned around, his gaze settling on the three individuals.
"Well, well, what do we have here? A solo adventurer carrying a skill scroll—and it's of uncommon rarity too," said a girl with short, spiky red hair and sharp, playful green eyes.
The man in the middle, a tall, bald guy with thick brows, chuckled as he bumped his fists together. "You know the rules, buddy. Anything you find in this area belongs to the guild. Hand over the scroll, and maybe we won't break a leg."
