After selling the dragon corpses, as well as all but fifty of the highest quality gemstones, I made my way back to the trial dungeon. This time, I was determined to make my way to the final trial, and conquer this dungeon’s tests. There was no point in stopping to read the introductory texts that I had already gone through. …

In the end, they had me accept three porters into my group. All three were unarmed lizardfolk, though I was certain that they would be able to at least have the strength to escape on their own if they needed to. One of them was red, one blue, and another green. Granted, now that I had this backpack, I didn’t …

Using the new Dismantling skill, I was able to delve deeper into the butchery trials than before. I passed through the eleventh trial, and quickly made my way all the way to the twentieth. In the process, I received the fifth through seventh volumes of the encyclopedia, which I was now largely collecting mostly as a collector’s item. Though, it …

To my surprise, despite not being able to harvest the blood from the Ruby Salamander, I still received a six star evaluation. Looking at the list of options, I finally chose to take the medium-grade butchery kit, as the rewards hadn’t changed since the first floor, aside from swapping the skill book for the encyclopedia. Once I made my choice, …

With careful precision, I began to cut up from the stomach of the rabbit, draining its blood into a provided bucket, before working my way through the rest of the carcass. Since this creature wasn’t specifically mentioned in the book, I didn’t have the system’s automatic guidance on where to cut, and could only rely on my own judgment. Slowly, …

It was hard to tell just how far we had gone. Unlike when I was using my Glancing Steps or other skills, I didn’t know yet how to measure the distance traveled while driving this bike. Furthermore, there were no roads, so I could only continue to travel in a straight line. Despite this, however, I found a city wall …

Seeing my immense reluctance to risk damaging the new bike worth more money than I had ever seen in my life, Diane rolled her eyes and walked me through the basics. She told me how to start it up, how to accelerate, turn, and brake. My entire body locked up when I heard the word ‘brake’. Finally, she just let …

Given the demerits to my crystal weaponry plan, I begrudgingly gave up on that experiment, content not to finish creating that skill. Instead, I just sat myself down with a sigh, pulled out my new wand, and began repeatedly casting the Create Bread skill. Was it a worthwhile combat skill to level up? No. No it was not. However! There …

After Wisteria left, Diane and I prepared ourselves to fight our way back out of this cave. Given how small the corridors were, my movement skills didn’t provide me with much of an advantage in leaving. However, we soon found that our concerns were needless. After another minute, there were still no undead making their way towards us. Even the …

Seeing as Wisteria had to come in person herself to take command off this mission, I could tell just how severe the possible implications were. Wisteria was a very strong individual. Even though she had been weakened in her fight against me at the League of Assassins, considerably reducing her level, I only managed to defeat her because I abused …
