VRMMORPG: Dragomancer Reborn

Chapter 158  Shocking Increase 

With the death of the Female Ember Bellow Lizard, Arthur was finally free to look at all the notifications that had appeared.

>Player Arzhur has killed a foe that is 6 levels above him!<

>Bonus Experience will be granted!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 210% Experience!<

>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 10 free stat points!<

>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 10 free stat points!<

This was all from the Male Ember Bellow Lizard that he had killed. Even though it was injured by the female, since Arthur was the one who had dealt the death blow, he had gotten the experience. Not just that, it had also come with a large bonus!

'The double level up was also why it became easier to hurt the Female.' Arthur knew.

The level ups had also healed him back to his optimum condition, thus he wasn't worried at all now.

>Player Arzhur has killed a foe that is 5 levels above him!<

>Bonus Experience will be granted!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 180% Experience!<

>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 10 free stat points!<

"Ah! Just a little short of one more level. Tch~" Arthur had gotten 180% experience, which put him just a few experience points below the next level.

If he had gotten that, he would have reached level 18.

"Though hitting level 17 is already quite decent." Arthur nodded his head.

He wasn't the only one who had leveled up either.

>Dragon Horn Beetle has assisted in killing a foe that is 10 levels above it!<

>Dragon Horn Beetle has obtained 250% Experience!<

>Dragon Horn Beetle has leveled up!< x 3

Even though Brambles had only helped pin down the Ember Bellow Lizard, it had still done some damage and the game had counted that as its contribution.

And considering the level difference, it gave Brambles a bonus as well. The experience from it combined with its previous was enough to allow it to level up thrice as well.

Brambles was now level 14 while Arthur himself was level 17.

~humm~

But things did not seem to be over for Arthur yet as he felt a buzzing sensation in his body.

>Detected that Player Arzhur has killed Draconids!<

>Dragonic Assimilation has been activated!<

~Ding~

——

<Stats Obtained>

Strength +2

Toughness +2

——

Seeing the innate skill of the Dragomancer class activate, Arthur felt surreal. Unlike the level up, he felt a lot more different.

'The amount of stats that I gained from killing the two is just 4 but the feeling is a lot more intense than a level up.' Arthur was surprised.

Though soon, his surprise turned to shock.

>Player Arzhur has killed his first Draconid! The hidden Condition for the Dragomancer Class has been fulfilled!<

~DING~

——

<Hidden Stat Obtained>

Synchronization +3%

<Skill Obtained>

Fire Resistance (passive)

Type: Support

Rank: Common

Proficiency: E

Effects: Raises user's resistance to fire by 5%

——

As soon as Arthur saw that, his eyes went wide.

"It… it increased!" Arthur gulped loudly.

He had been wondering just how one could increase the Synchronization stat and he finally had a solid clue to it.

'The notification said killing my first Draconid triggered the hidden condition… this means it should probably apply to Draconians, Dragonoids as well as Dragons!' Arthur quickly grasped.

Understanding this, Arthur felt a rush of excitement. But the excitement only lasted for a few seconds and was soon replaced by pain.

"ARGH!" Arthur cried out in pain, stumbling to the ground.

He knelt on the ground, holding his head that felt like it was being squeezed.

"FUCK! SHOULD HAVE REALIZED!" Arthur was familiar with the pain that came with an increase in synchronization.

Thankfully, the increase was of just 3% and the pain wasn't as harsh on Arthur. He had experienced it before, so he could handle it a lot better.

~Krrr~

Brambles watched Arthur with concern, not knowing what to do.

"It's… Fine… I'll… be okay." Arthur spoke to the beetle.

With the blessing, the beetle understood it and decided to wait.

Five minutes later, Arthur felt the pain subside and took a breath of relief.

'It's good that the game delayed giving the rewards until I was done fighting. If it had done it as soon as I killed the Male Ember Bellow Lizard, it might not have been able to fight at all.' Arthur thought.

He was pleased with this, wondering if it was intentionally done.

'Perhaps it is only triggered when I am out of combat and safe.' Arthur guessed. 'Getting the Fire Resistance is also good. Though players usually get it differently.' He knew that this was due to his class as well.

Now that he was out of the woods, Arthur finally checked his stats.

"Let's take a look… Player status!" Arthur brought up the window.

~DING~

Seeing the increase in his stats felt great for Arthur. The rise in power was almost addicting. It left Arthur yearning for more, once the feeling faded away.

'I never felt like this when leveling up in the past,' Arthur recalled.

The rise in power that he obtained from level ups felt a lot more 'personal' to Arthur. He couldn't exactly describe it and only understand it. And every time he leveled up, the feeling only got better.

Looking at his experience, which was lingering at 96% Arthur felt very tempted to hunt down beasts to fill it up.

~huu~

But then he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I shouldn't get carried away. Need to do things in order." Arthur said to himself.

With his mind in the right place, Arthur was now ready for the next part.
