Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

It’s an animated corpse soldier, but how is this possible? I clearly only attracted one!

Leon appeared behind the enemy, and the Dead Angle Strike automatically found the opponent’s weakness. The sword blade instantly pierced his heart.

"Huh?"

He pulled out the reverse sword while making a puzzled sound, his gaze at the weapon full of uncertainty.

Finally, he launched a combat skill against the remaining animated corpse soldier, feeling the same sensation as before.

"Strange, was it not my illusion?"

Leon attracted the enemies below, dealing with them one by one, and after some good experimentation, he slowly smiled.

"So that’s what it is..."

It wasn’t his illusion. He felt a change in his body just now, an absolutely positive change — the feel of using all combat skills had significantly improved!

It’s hard to imagine someone like Leon, who had honed his combat skills to an outstanding level, would experience such a feeling. But the fact is, he could feel all his combat skills being even smoother at the moment of execution, far surpassing his former self.

Previously, when activating weapon combat skills, the body was somewhat awkwardly led by the weapon. But now, the combat skills automatically responded to his body, and his body automatically adapted to the combat skills, with no barrier between them, almost like...

Like these combat skills were born for his body!

Combat skills have adaptability, similar to how a giant using dwarf-invented combat skills, or a dwarf using elf-invented combat skills, would always feel unnatural and awkward. The lower the adaptability, the less effective they are unless the user has the insight to modify them personally.

But now, Leon didn’t need to consider the issue of adaptability at all.

The combat skills from the Sain Dungeon perfectly matched his body!

So much so that every combat skill he performed was masterful, and the power of each combat skill was enhanced, with at least...

Thirty percent!

What does this mean? It’s like equipping an extra piece of warrior pot shard when using combat skills produced by the Sain Dungeon!

And unexpectedly, the magic power consumption for combat skills has also decreased, although the reduction isn’t significant, it’s still a considerable enhancement for his current state.

"Is this the effect brought by Fire Transmission?"

Exchanging levels for combat skill enhancement?

As Leon walked around the city wall, he discovered a gap that could accommodate a person in a hidden corner, where the animated corpse soldier he hadn’t detected earlier was probably hiding.

To not have detected such a close enemy, leveling up is a matter of urgency!

He cleared the enemies on the city wall in front of him, collecting about two to three thousand souls, and at this point, he had exhausted his magic power reserves, breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

However, just by touching a bonfire on the high wall of Losric, something magical could happen.

Leon instantly returned to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, this bonfire could teleport!

He immediately found the Fireproof Woman, eagerly seeking to level up. The leveling-up action was simple yet filled with a sense of ritual.

Nearly three thousand souls leveled him up five levels, all allocated to strength!

"The strength is back, though not much... wait, something’s not right!"

Feeling the enhancement in his body, Leon suddenly sensed a different feeling from the past.

Every time leveling up, each level’s increment was usually fixed within a certain range, adventurers were accustomed to that extent of level increase, but this time, the strength increment exceeded the fixed range.

He calculated carefully and finally made a surprising discovery —

Now leveling up by one level is equivalent to one and a half of the previous levels, minus a bit!

In other words, the increment effect brought by leveling up was increased by 1.3 to 1.4 times!

"The unkind Ashes yearns for flames, and also for souls. If a chance to come into contact with souls arises, the Ashes will greedily devour them."

Rudes suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Souls are precious to your current body, you should seize as many as you can."

Only then did Leon realize one thing.

The Fireproof Woman’s address of me as "Lord Ashes" wasn’t a mere historical reference to that Ashes...

But now I truly am "Ashes!"

"Am I no longer human?"

Does this mean that if there’s a future census, I should fill in the "race" column with "Ashes?"

However, this should be a good thing, right?

Leon finally discovered the changes Fire Transmission brought to his body, and from the looks of it, these are all positive changes.

He could continue to level up, while the adaptability of combat skills was uniquely improved, in addition to the increased level benefits, these were all undoubtedly good changes!

So the next course of action became very clear.

"Let’s start grinding!"

Leon charged into the high walls of Losric like a mad hound unleashed.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Anything still moving within his sight, he would strike it with his sword!

Whether it’s ordinary animated corpse soldiers or wandering corpses kneeling without noticing him, whether hostile or not, as long as they moved and could yield souls, they were slashed!

He wanted to give himself a title like "Soul Reaper."

Leon continued his charge into the complex and variable terrain inside the high walls.

The scenery here reminded him of the Undead Town Outside the City, but the terrain was much more complex than the Undead Town.

Despite the somewhat impaired perception ability, relying on the experience of years crawling through the Sain Dungeon, Leon found his progress surprisingly smooth.

He didn’t get greedy, even if it took more time, it didn’t matter. Gathering four to five thousand and then returning to the bonfire to level up, he would come back in full spirits to continue the charge, there was nothing he didn’t dare to kill along this path!

"Roar!"

A loud dragon roar sounded when Leon was crossing the large bridge, as an exceptionally massive red flying dragon landed on the bridge and spewed fire towards him.

"Whoa..."

Gazing at the exceptionally familiar scene before him, he instantly flashed back to the Flying Dragon Bridge outside the Undead Town, decisively turning around to run, successfully finding a hidden door on the side of the bridge to evade the dragon’s breath.

This maneuver was executed with such ease.

Almost immersing in the thrill of soul farming, he ignored his usual meticulous exploration, running wherever a path appeared before him.

Gradually, when his level reached the twenties, he noticed a change in the enemies around him.

From the weak animated corpse soldiers, they gradually evolved into Losric Knights, their well-equipped gear making them even stronger than Balder Knights, some of which were elite versions with red eyes, which he had to avoid currently.

The surrounding map environment also changed; he left the high walls and arrived at a large area filled with towering buildings, where he could overlook the elevated Losric City, currently standing at the foot of the Losric City.

"Did a war break out here?"

Walking along, Leon saw countless corpses of Losric Knights, surrounded by gunpowder and flames, with some bloodstains not even dry.

He grew more cautious, progressing slowly, and at this point, a fork in the road appeared in front of him.

To the left, a towering church connected vaguely with the ascending Losric City.

To the right, another pointed-topped building with wide open doors welcoming visitors, yet Leon spotted a trace of frost at the entrance, with cold air emanating from within.

This frost seemed familiar...

Kind of felt like Yilushier’s vibe?

No, crossing over there would undoubtedly meet a boss monster. Head to the opposite direction towards the church first.

Thinking this, Leon quietly headed towards the church.

From a distance, he saw an old woman seated in the deepest part of the church, with nothing that appeared threatening.

Hmm, it seemed quite safe over there.
