Bang!
Kieran aimed at the half-dead and pulled the trigger. Bang!
The bullet went through the gelatinous door and landed between the monster's eyebrows.
But …
Ding!
The bullet hit the monster in between its brows. Sparks flew and the monster's head tilted backwards, but it wasn't hurt at all. It let out a heavy growl at Kieran.
[Shooting: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 100 Damage to Target HP (50 Firearm Weapon, Light Firearm (Musou) x2); Bullets of Blessing, Inflicts 100 Damage to Negative Energy Beings (Authentication failed, unable to form lethal attack), Target has Immune to Lethal Damage, High Death Skin, High Iron Armor, Resisted 200 Damage, 0 True Damage Inflicted to Target …]
...
"It didn't work?"
Kieran looked at the battlelog notification and then at the half-dead. He touched the last remaining [Holy Water 8].
He turned around and looked behind him.
Since the [Bullets of Blessing] was immune, Kieran couldn't be sure whether the monster would take damage from the [Holy Water 8] or not.
Even if the [Holy Water 8] could deal damage to the monster.
Kieran wasn't sure if a single [Holy Water 8] would be enough to take his life.
Between the two uncertainties, Kieran had to make a choice.
Rather than take the risk.
He might as well keep it for future troubles.
Although Kieran felt it was a pity in his heart, if he could really kill the half-dead monster before him, it would be a great harvest for him.
Since he didn't have the means to deal damage to the monster, there was no point in staying. He might as well explore his surroundings and find a way out.
Kieran didn't want to be trapped in this place forever.
It would mean that he had failed his main mission.
In this special dungeon, [The Shaman's Partner], he had narrowly escaped death a few times to get to where he was now. He didn't want to fall in a dark corridor.
Kieran carefully sized up his surroundings.
The faint light allowed him to see that the corridor in front of him was straight up. It was made up of stairs that were about five meters wide and thirty centimeters tall. On both sides were sturdy, flat walls.
From where Kieran stood, he could not see the end of the corridor due to the darkness of the environment and the length of the corridor.
It was obvious that he had no other choice.
Kieran carefully lifted his leg and walked up the stairs after making sure that the stairs wouldn't flip over or trigger any other mechanisms.
Then, he walked upward.
Because he was worried that there might be a trap, Kieran's entire ascension process was extremely slow.
Every step he took was a careful test.
Even though Kieran had some speculations about where he was, and according to his speculations, there shouldn't be any traps or mechanisms, it didn't stop Kieran from being cautious.
About an hour later, Kieran climbed at least a few hundred steps.
Hu!
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Two skulls with blue flames appeared in front of Kieran. The deep eye sockets were illuminated by the blue flames, forming a dark, flickering whirlpool, as if it was trying to devour the souls of the living. The lower jaw was open, and teeth were protruding out, as if they were wailing in agony before death.
"Evil spirits?!"
Kieran's grip on the gun handle tightened, and he instinctively raised it.
However, the next moment, Kieran lowered his gun.
With the help of the blue flames, Kieran clearly saw what the two skulls with blue flames were.
On top of the frame made up of a thigh bone and a cervical vertebra, there were two skulls.
The blue flames didn't come from the skulls either.
It was some kind of grease-like liquid.
Inside the skulls was a container that contained the liquid.
Kieran, who had used his dagger to pry open the skulls, saw everything clearly.
"Is this … a brazier for lighting?"
That was the conclusion Kieran came to as he walked around the two skeletal frames with the skulls on them.
Although it was a little unimaginable.
Based on the situation before him, Kieran couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Besides that, what concerned Kieran more was that he didn't trigger any traps, so why did the blue flames appear out of nowhere?
After staring at the two special lighting tools for a while, Kieran still couldn't come up with any useful conclusions. He started to size up his surroundings.
Even though it wasn't normal lighting, it was still much better than the previous darkness.
As he sized up his surroundings, Kieran realized he was on a small platform.
Above him was an endless flight of stairs, and below him was the path he had come from.
The blue light shone on the stone floor and walls, reflecting a deeper luster. It also made the half-opened 'door' extra eye-catching.
On the left side of Kieran, there was an unusual protrusion.
It was about a finger's height.
The breeze that came from the inside attracted Kieran's attention.
After carefully moving closer and checking around, Kieran raised his hand and pushed hard.
Kak!
A spring sounded and the whole wall started to move according to the direction that Kieran pushed.
When the door stopped moving, a big room appeared before Kieran's eyes.
From Kieran's point of view, the room was divided into two by a corridor. The left and right sides had their own decorations.
The left side was very neat, with a big pile of experiment tools and tools that Kieran didn't know what they were used for. They were arranged neatly.
The right side was very messy. A bookshelf as tall as two people was leaning against the wall. A study table was under the bookshelf, and the books on the bookshelf were scattered around the table.
With the help of the light outside the door, Kieran could clearly see that there were two bodies buried under the books.
The two bodies had turned into dried corpses.
After seeing the two bodies, Kieran instinctively activated his [Tracking].
At the same time, he was also paying attention to the [Knitted Talisman]'s movements.
However, everything was normal.
The two dried corpses were just normal corpses, not evil spirits or anything like that.
After making sure everything was safe, Kieran looked at the bodies before him.
Even without his intuition, the two corpses were enough to give Kieran a reason to search.
The books were moved aside by Kieran.
Throughout the whole process, Kieran was very careful, trying his best not to damage the books.
One needed to know that with just a quick glance, the runes on the books were enough to tell Kieran that these books were priceless.
"The value is close to Rei's book collection!"
Kieran used his experience with the Mystical Knowledge book collection as a comparison target.
As for the comparison method?
The more runes he couldn't understand, the more valuable the books were.
Although it was hard to explain, for Kieran who only had Master Level [Mystical Knowledge], it was the best way.
"Huh?"
When Kieran moved all the books away from the bodies and got a clear look at the two bodies, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
PS: Second Update ~
The dispirited infusion was back …
His body was still uncomfortable. He wanted to give everyone an extra surprise, but it seemed like it would be hard to do so …
Sigh!
When his dispirited body felt better, he would give everyone an extra update!
