Chapter 111
Translator: similarTIGER

The other werewolves undergoing their transformation could not dodge the spreading poison chain . But the one already in its human form could move and avoided the chains .
However, the chain swiftly changed its direction towards the werewolf .
‘Is it because it leveled up?’
The speed the chain could change its direction became pretty fast . The proficiency must have
had something to do with it .
– What?
The werewolf thought he managed to dodge the chain, but he eventually got caught and
dropped dead .
– Werewolf’s Foreleg x3
– Werewolf’s Canine tooth x2
– Werewolf’s Tendons x2
Soo Hyuk checked the dropped items and grinned .
Werewolves were rare monsters . Therefore their loots were highly-priced . The tendons were an especially hot item . The werewolf’s tendons were much tougher than an ogre’s . The NPC and the defense item crafters had many uses for it .
Soo Hyuk received the drops, and the items went into his inventory .
Passing the carcasses, Soo Hyuk walked forward .
“Poison Storm . ”
“Fire Storm . ”
“Poison Storm . ”
“Fire Storm . ”
Soo Hyuk used two spells alternately every time he met a group of werewolves .
He could have just used one . Unlike the group of goblins and orcs that appeared before the skill’s cooldown was done, the distance between each pack of werewolves was far apart .
‘It’s getting further . Does it get further every time?’
Soo Hyuk thought that the distance between each pack gets further each time .
‘If that’s the case…, should I finish that quest first?’
〈Special quest – The Sage’s Wisdom〉
Meet the conditions below! And you’ll receive the Sage’s Wisdom .
[Read Books: 100 / 100]
[Mana exhausting skill exhibition: 1621 / 2000]
Quest Reward: Increase Wisdom Stat .
The completion conditions were to read 100 books and use mana exhausting spells 2000 times, and the reward was an increase in Wisdom .
‘379 more times . ’
Soo Hyuk already finished the first condition, now all he has to do is to cast less than 400 spells .
‘Yeah, I can do it along the way . ’
Soo Hyuk had nothing to do while walking to each pack . He closed the quest window and began to cast various skills .
“Fire Spear . ”
“Poison Spear . ”
“Poison Ball . ”
“Pool of Poison . ”
Soo Hyuk didn’t use the storm skills, so he could use them when he encountered the werewolves .
The bombardment of spells made a loud explosion .
‘I should be careful with the noise . ’
The sound was loud . There was a possibility that the werewolves ahead heard the noise and came to Soo Hyuk .
Soo Hyuk refrained from using skills making loud explosions and cast spells that didn’t make noise .
“Heal”
“Poison Fog . ”
Currently, Soo Hyuk has access to three magical properties; Fire, Poison, and Healing .
So the only choices that are silent are Poison and Healing .
For Healing, Heal was the only skill, but for poison, all of the skills were silent .
So Soo Hyuk kept casting Heals and Poison skills .
‘200 more to go . ’
– I smell a human!
– A human?
– Over there! It’s coming from that direction .
– Maybe it’s our kin, who caught a human .
– No, I don’t smell one of our kin .
Soo Hyuk was now encountering the sixth group .
‘Eight?’
This was the pack with the most werewolves until now, but that didn’t change anything .
“Fire Storm . ”
– Werewolf’s Foreleg x6
– Werewolf’s Canine tooth x5
– Werewolf’s Tendons x6
The drop window appeared, and Soo Hyuk accepted the items .
‘Now, If trolls come out…’
This was the sixth group of werewolves . According to his hypothesis, the next monsters should be trolls .
‘that should mean there are six groups for each monster . ’
Finishing his thoughts, Soo Hyuk began his repetitive casting .
’40 left . ’
Soo Hyuk paused .
‘So it is six groups . ’
Three trolls were ahead, and that proved Soo Hyuk’s hypothesis .
“Poison Storm . ”
Soo Hyuk cast Poison Storm that he saved for the monsters .
– Troll’s Blood x2
The trolls were the same as the rest of the monsters .
Soo Hyuk thought as he was staring at the dead bodies .
‘This is too easy . ’
He expected the trolls to be somewhat challenging since he came in this far, but they were still too weak .
‘If it’s this easy… I don’t think the reward will be that great . ’ Soo Hyuk had an ominous feeling .
It wasn’t always this case, but usually, the scale of the reward was directly correlated with the area’s difficulty . So seeing the current difficulty, Soo Hyuk didn’t expect the reward to be that great .
It was way too easy . He had this thought on his first encounter with the goblins, but just let it slide because it was the first monster .
He expected the difficulty to increase as he went in, but they were all the same .
‘Will there even be a reward?’
It was a secret cave, not a cave of treasures .
‘Even if there is one, I don’t think there will be a lot . ’
The difficulty made it unreasonable for the rewards worth to be high .
‘We’ll see . ’
Soo Hyuk hasn’t reached the end yet . The difficulty might increase from now . This may just be the beginning section, and there may be many more monsters from this point on .
Deciding there was no point in tackling this question any longer, Soo Hyuk passed the trolls and headed deeper in .
“Heal . ”
“Poison Fog . ”
Of course, he didn’t forget to cast spells .
A few moments later, Soo Hyuk stopped . Not because of a troll, but because he finished the quest,
‘Finally,’
〈Special quest – The Sage’s Wisdom〉
Meet the conditions below! And you’ll receive the Sage’s Wisdom .
[Read Books: 100 / 100]
[Mana exhausting skill exhibition: 2000 / 2000]
Quest Reward: Increase Wisdom Stat .
Soo Hyuk fulfilled the second condition, and now it was possible to finish the quest .
‘Please don’t just be an increase in mana . ’
Soo Hyuk remembered when his Health stat was increased from 50 to 100 .
But this was a different case . The higher the Health was, the better because if the Health hits zero, it means death . However, even if the mana hits 0, nothing happens . His current mana pool was sufficient too .
With nervousness and hope, Soo Hyuk pressed the complete button, and the completion notifications appeared .
‘Holy shit!’
Seeing the notification, Soo Hyuk’s eyes widened .
[Special Quest’ The Sage’s Wisdom’ has been completed . ]
[Stat ‘Wisdom’ gained a special effect . ]
[Increase in magical damage per every Wisdom stat . ]
‘Magical Damage! This has to be the best effect . ’
There were many effects of Wisdom . Magical Defense, Mana Regen, Mana Capacity, Magical Damage, etc . And out of them all, the most favored one is magical damage .
Soo Hyuk was also hoping for magical damage .
‘How much stronger did I become?’
The effect was an increase in magical damage per wisdom point . Soo Hyuk had around 4000 wisdom, so he was wondering how much of an increase he would get .
‘I won’t be able to know from this place . ’
Before the power-up, every monster was a one-shot kill .
‘Well, I’ll get to know sooner or later . ’
Although he was interested, it wasn’t a must . He would figure it out naturally, so he resumed to walk .
“Heal . ”
“Poison Spear . ”
“Pool of Poison . ”
Although the quest was finished, Soo Hyuk did not stop casting his spells .
‘I’ve got nothing to do anyway, might as well increase my proficiency . ”
Soo Hyuk thought it was better to increase his proficiency . He wouldn’t gain exp from monsters anyways . It was better to do something beneficial .
Casting spells, Soo Hyuk approached the next group of trolls .
***
Romian threw a rock the size of a fist, and the rock dropped on the ground .
As soon as the rock touched the floor, arrows flew from the side and were pierced in the wall .
“Wheew . . ”
Seeing the strength of the arrows, Romian let out a sigh of relief .
If the arrows were to hit Romian, he would have become a beehive .
“I’ve got to hurry . ”
Shaking away his concerns, Romian walked past the trap .
While dismantling the traps, Romian continued his way down the path, and suddenly, Romian stopped even though he hadn’t reached the end of the cave .
“Is it here?”
Romain took out a map and checked his surroundings .
“Yes, this is it,” said Romian with a grin on his face .
