Chapter 507: Ian’s Underworld Exploration 3

Karon wasn’t wrong.

In less than 2 minutes after Ian had entered the forest road, a grey rabbit jumped out of the grass.

Psssh- Psssh-!

A rabbit stuck out like a bullet and then bounced into some other place.

That action made Ian very excited.

‘Huhu, this is fun and refreshing, huh?’

The penalty was one level down, but the level of Ian was already over 400.

And at this point, hunting was what occupied the mind of Ian.

‘Let’s see, where is my bow for hunting the rabbit.’

To catch a fast and slender rabbit, the ranged weapons were much more advantageous for such kind of things.

And Ian naturally tried to open his inventory to swap weapons.

And of course, the inventory didn’t open.

Tring-!

[Inventory cannot be opened in the state of ‘dead’.]

“Hu…”

Ian had his crying face on.

‘I need to catch the rabbit with a spear…’

Rabbits were basically herbivores.

Because of that, they had a weak attack skill, but they did have great agility.

That was also the case for a rabbit that was in the beginner’s hunting ground in the Colonnare continent.

Many beginner users used ranged weapons and stuff, but the rabbits didn’t even bother to look at the users.

It was all because the rabbits moved with agility were very bad for the hunting efficiency.

‘Hu, even then, what to do? I have no choice.’

Ian tried to make up his mind and placed his hands around the sword.

The weapon that was in the hands of Ian was the Bloody Revenge.

It was what he had taken from Limlong, the weapon that was in his hands when he was being cut down by Mukan.

‘It’s great that I wasn’t holding the Judgment of the Spirit King.’

The Bloody Revenge was like a feather-like sword that had the advantages of a dagger and a sword too.

On the other hand was the Judgement of the Spirit King, which was a spear.

It was clear for anyone to realize which of the weapons would be beneficial for killing a hare.

‘There is Blood Split.’

A rushing attack technique like Blood Split would be a great tool for pursuing a fast rabbit.

Ian decided to make the most of the skill.

‘Should I go and find one first?’

Ian, slowly moving towards the grass, carefully opened the grass in front of him.

Pussshk-!

Ian killed, then tried to stop all the entering voices into his head and pushed his head through the grass.

Then the next moment, Ian’s impression crumbled again.

‘What is this? A dead rabbit …?’

[Dead Rabbit: Lv 3 (transcendence)]

The level of the rabbit was 3.

‘Hu, can’t you just be a rabbit?’

The Kailan level, it never lied.

Ian’s transcendence level was currently 2.

And the level of the rabbit was higher than that of Ian, so it was natural for him to be cautious.

In addition, the lower the level, the greater the difference between the levels.

Rustling.

As soon as he approached the grass, Ian approached the targeted rabbit with light footsteps.

He could have used the Blood Split to approach it at once, but it was better to hold onto it until the rabbit noticed the presence of Ian.

Blood Split was a non-target skill, the closer the distance, the easier it was to hit.

And Ian walked just one meter behind the rabbit…

“…!”

Capturing the rabbit’s hind limb movement, Ian instantly triggered the Blood Split.

Phat-!

[Unique ability ‘Blood Split’ has been activated.]

Ian’s none-target skill hit rate was unmatched.

Even the archer rankers who are good at hitting with a non-targeting skill would admire the skill of Ian.

Ian, wasn’t able to hit the rabbit that was one meter away.

Phak-!

[‘Dead Rabbit’ has been damaged!]

After all, Ian triggered the weakness capture, and precisely hit the critical point!

But the next thing was the problem.

[Vitality of the ‘Dead Rabbit’ has been decreased by 685.]

[The ‘Dead Rabbit’ is now in ‘hostile state’.]

The dead rabbits just like the rabbits in the Colonar continent was like a monster that wouldn’t show hostility unless attacked first.

Which was why the message of hostility had come up.

But that wasn’t the problem.

‘685? Didn’t the damage deal get stuck?’

Obviously, it was just three digits of damage even though Blood Split was a critical hit.

Ian’s eyes naturally turned over to the vitality gauge.

“…!”

Ian was shocked at what he had just witnessed. The vitality of the rabbit was hardly cut.

Was it around 2 or 3 percent?

That was from the damage deal of the Blood Split, which meant that a normal attack would result in a two-digit damage deal.

‘Even if it is the Middle-Earth, my attack should have been around 1,000…’

At level 2, Ian’s current damage rate was exactly 1,350.

But only half of the damage was done, which meant that the defense of the rabbit was higher than the attack of Ian’s.

‘What is wrong with this rabbit?’

And at the same moment, Ian was further surprised.

Puak-!

The rabbit bounced and hit the torso of Ian.

[Damage caused by the ‘dead rabbit’!]

[Vitality reduced by 6,798!]

“Crazy sh*t…!”

Ian had no choice but to curse.

With the 90,000 extra vitality with the item heal, otherwise, the attack could’ve killed Ian in a single shot.

Ian’s current vitality, minus the item bonus, was only 5,000.

And this time, it was a bunny rabbit that gained the edge over Ian with just one air kick.

Ian’s head started to work fast.

‘I can get a thousand points with just hitting it in a flat manner.’

Maybe fighting like this didn’t make the rabbit tired.

The rabbit’s torso is quite fast, but it wasn’t undamaged.

(Of course, if he fought with everything, Ian could win.)

The problem, however, was the time limit.

It took Ian 20 minutes to catch one of them, then that made it hard for him to get five of those in just three hours.

“Hu, I’m having to summon, for a rabbit…”

Mumbled Ian to himself, and eventually decided to borrow the power from his summons.

“Summon, Karceus! Summon, Bbookbbook!”

But the next minute, the system messages frustrated the hell out of Ian.

[You cannot summon ‘Karceus’.]

[In the state of ‘dead’, only the dead summons can be summoned.]

[You cannot summon ‘Bbookbbook’…]

In the state of ‘dead’, only the ‘dead’ summons could be the only one summoned.

And in the battle with the Underworld King, Mukan, Ian was the only one who died.

“Ahhh!”

The word that best described the visit of Ian to the Underworld.

-Ian’s Underworld Exploration. (Ian POV)

So, what did I do?

How did I deal with that kind of situation?

I fought very hard with a rabbit.

One might laugh, but I was very serious.

The time it took to catch one guy was over 10 minutes…

It made me think that catching Death Knights was times easier than that.

But the problem was, that didn’t end there.

In the state of ‘dead’, even the item drop didn’t happen.

The skin didn’t drop for three, have you ever heard the sky sing?

It was like the planning team was playing a joke with the rabbit skin drop rate, and that went all the way.

But when thought about it, the system messages really did inform me very kindly.

There couldn’t be a complete idiot.

And after realizing that I caught the three rabbits without thought, I picked up the bodies of the rabbit and started to move without knowing.

The time took for collecting five rabbits… was around two hours.

Phew.

It was really hard…

This was difficulty F?

Maybe be the F difficulty meant ‘Fantastic’.

It was a fantastic quest. It…

Somehow, I managed to catch all five rabbits and I would hand them over to the butcher and get the five Death Coins.

Didn’t I really dream that I would succeed in the quest within 5 minutes?

But after the quest, I will finally get some free time for myself.

It was then time to go around the Underworld and get something called ‘information’.

When I arrived at the Thanatos village, I started to wander around the underworld.

The time remaining until Shakran uncle and the Titan to enter the Underworld is approximately 14 days.

I had to get as much information as I could before then.

Of course, If uncle doesn’t win against Mukan, then he might not even enter the underworld.

But do you know what’s really fun?

After the 14 days, when Shakran uncle opens the portal to the Underworld, I won’t be with them.

Unlike those who won’t be able to cross the Acheron river, I will be able to open the portal into the town of Thanatos.

The other members of the Lotus Guild, excluding me, will move with Titan.

On the contrary, there were many hunting grounds to raise the level of transcendence before crossing the river Acheron. And Shakran uncle will surely do his very best in there, (I feel like he probably is suspicious…)

Besides, the ‘living’ inside the Acheron, Erebus had a side effect, and it was a huge risk to take.

Kay, then!

Then why did I remain in Erebus all till the end even with the doubts and suspicions?

Originally, I planned to get as much information as I could until Shakran uncle won against the Underworld King, and I was planning to enter through the door once uncle opens.

Haha, wonder why?

But that, if one thought a little more, one will understand.

Do you know what I wanted to find the most in the underworld?

Huhu.

To find it right away.

Easier than one thought.

And quick too, before he started to hunt in Erebus, I had ten days in hand.

This is, is a story a day or two before Shakran uncle caught the Underworld King.
