After Kieran's charged strike, the dagger plunged into the pursuer's back and half of it went in.
Blood gushed out from the wound.
"Aaaargh!"
The pursuer screamed in agony and moved his body forward instinctively.
Kieran followed closely and pressed his left hand on the dagger with his right hand, pushing it down. However, the dagger didn't move forward at all.
"Not good, it's stuck on the bone!"
Kieran's heart jumped and he pulled the dagger out.
Puk!
Hot blood gushed out and splashed onto Kieran's face, covering his eyes.
Kieran's heart started to panic as he temporarily lost his ability to see. All he could do was swing the dagger in his hand crazily.
At that moment, there was only one thought in Kieran's mind. He couldn't give the pursuer any chance to breathe, otherwise he would be the one to die!
With the thought supporting him, Kieran swung the dagger in his hand even faster.
Tsss! Tsss! Tsss!
Then, the sound of metal piercing flesh sounded.
After swinging the dagger a few times, Kieran suddenly realized he knew how to wield the dagger in his hand.
It shouldn't be this kind of blind swinging that only scratched the pursuer's skin!
It should be stabbing!
Avoid the tough bones and aim for the soft muscles to stab!
Kieran's body did it almost instinctively.
At the next moment, Kieran, who had slightly recovered his sight, held the dagger in a reverse grip and exerted force with his elbow. The dagger was thrusted out like a spring.
Tsss!
The dagger plunged into the pursuer's chest, not even the blade went in.
The pursuer, who was holding a kitchen knife and was ready to counterattack, looked down at the dagger in his chest in disbelief. Then, he fell to the ground.
Until his death, the pursuer didn't understand how a guy who wasn't dangerous a moment ago could become so deadly all of a sudden.
Kieran was shocked as well. He looked at the dead pursuer on the ground, the pungent smell of blood reminded Kieran what he had done.
Blargh!
Looking at the lifelike corpse, the bright red blood stimulated Kieran's vision. Once he thought of the corpse dying in his hands, Kieran's stomach churned and he could not help but vomit.
As he vomited, Kieran knelt on the ground powerlessly.
Snot and tears streamed down his face, making him look extremely pathetic.
"Have you vomited enough?"
A hoarse voice rang in Kieran's ears, causing Kieran to raise his head subconsciously.
He saw a face covered in dust and dirt, and the gray eyes that should have been shining also carried a type of indifference and vigilance.
"I …"
"The spoils of war are yours. I won't snatch them from you!"
Kieran wanted to say something, but the man interrupted Kieran. At the same time, he leaned against the wall and stared at Kieran. Step by step, he moved away from the wall.
The other party did not believe him!
Moreover, he was filled with vigilance!
Looking at the other party's movements, Kieran's heart understood something.
The realization made Kieran not say anything or do anything else. He was worried that the other party would misunderstand and cause unnecessary trouble.
Given his current powerless state, Kieran did not think he could handle the trouble.
Therefore, Kieran quietly saw the other party off.
Until the other party completely disappeared, Kieran finally heaved a breath of relief in his heart. He used his hand to push himself up.
"Although cold, he is still a kind person!"
Kieran exclaimed.
After losing order, he was still able to not take advantage of others. Even though he was cold and vigilant, he was still considered kind.
At least, he was a few times better than those thugs!
After exclaiming, Kieran looked at the system notification.
[Acquired Skill: Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)]
It was this skill that allowed Kieran to go from a layman to someone who was extremely familiar with the dagger, allowing him to kill his opponent with one hit.
Curiosity and the appearance of the skill made Kieran flip through his battle log.
[Stabbing: Inflicts 15 Damage to Target HP …]
[Slashing: Inflicts 3 Damage to Target HP …]
[Slashing: Inflicts 2 Damage to Target HP, Target enters Lightly Wounded Status …]
…
[Valid Attack 3 times, Acquired Skill: Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)]
[Stabbing: Lethal Attack, Inflicts 80 Damage to Target HP (40 Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic) x2), Target dies …]
[Note: Lethal Attack = Actual Damage x2]
"Valid Attack 3 times?"
Kieran mumbled to himself and quickly flipped to his skill tab.
A skill named [Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)] appeared in the first slot of the skill bar that was originally empty.
As Kieran looked at the skill, the description of [Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)] appeared on the screen that only Kieran could see.
[Name: Sharp Weapon (Dagger) (Basic)]
[Related Attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution]
[Skill Type: Offensive]
[Effects: You know how to use the dagger, Increases Damage by 10%]
[Consumes: Stamina]
[Prerequisites: Strength F-, Agility F, Constitution F]
[Remarks: You have just acquired the basics, don't even think about cutting through gold and jade!]
"Increases damage by 10%?"
Kieran looked at the description and subconsciously compared it to the system's battle log.
Then, he quickly walked up to the body of his pursuer and pulled out the dagger from the man's chest.
When his hand held the dagger, that familiar feeling rose up in Kieran's heart again. Instinctively, Kieran thrust the dagger forward again.
It was as if he had practiced it a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Sou!
The sharp sound of metal breaking through the air was heard.
It was fast, and his hand did not even tremble. The dagger accurately hit the chest of the imaginary enemy in front of Kieran.
The whole process was exactly the same as when he had killed his pursuer with a single hit.
It was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
"This is only 10%? And it only took three effective attacks to achieve that? "
Kieran muttered in disbelief.
It was hard for him to imagine that a 10% increase could have such a huge difference.
From Kieran's point of view, such a 10% increase was a combination of strength, speed, and experience. Without years of training, it was impossible to achieve such a result.
Kieran, on the other hand, had only used three effective attacks to achieve what others would need years of training.
Aside from the fact that Kieran did not think that he had the talent to surpass others and could be called a genius.
The situation before him, even a real genius could not achieve it, right?
Kieran thought quietly.
Then, an idea flashed through his mind.
"A notification?!"
Kieran thought of the game notification when he entered the dungeon.
Immediately, he flipped through the system's records.
[Main Mission: Survive for seven days, 0/7]
[Sub Mission (Optional): Save more civilians until the war ends, every civilian saved will increase the dungeon rating]
[Hint: The newbie dungeon is a rare opportunity for every player!]
Under the main and sub missions, the game notification was clearly visible.
Kieran's eyes stopped at the words "rare opportunity" for a while. Finally, he let out a long breath.
"Although the underground game is extremely realistic, some of the rules of the game have not changed. It will never put a newbie in an extremely dangerous situation, but it will be a gradual process! As long as I can seize the opportunity, I will gradually gain the strength to deal with the danger! "
Kieran thought.
But soon, Kieran frowned.
He thought about what would have happened to him if he had not carefully checked the body and obtained the weapon.
Once he thought about the possible outcome, Kieran's heart was filled with lingering fear.
"As expected of the underground game that only had 10% of the players survived during the closed beta! I'm afraid many of those players lost their lives because they were careless and could not adapt to the environment. "
As Kieran thought about it, he lowered his head and checked the body in front of him.
In an extremely serious manner!
When he was looking at the battle log, until the moment the body died, Kieran did not find any XP or EXP. However, there were skills, and they were labeled as "Basic".
Obviously, they could be leveled up!
On top of that, the game had stated that he had entered a dungeon.
Based on Kieran's previous experience in the game, he would not receive XP or EXP directly. Instead, he would receive an evaluation after clearing the dungeon.
The quality of this evaluation would directly affect his harvest.
As for how to increase the evaluation?
Other than the sub missions given by the game, it would naturally depend on his performance in the game.
According to Kieran's understanding, his performance in the game was nothing more than killing monsters, obtaining equipment, and gold.
As for the sub missions, Kieran did not have any more thoughts on them at the moment.
However, when it came to killing monsters, obtaining equipment, and gold, Kieran was very familiar with them.
After all, he had just searched a body not long ago, and there was another one in front of him.
On top of that, he was the one who killed it!
The pungent blood stench was still as pungent as ever.
Even though he had gone through a massacre, Kieran still hated the stench. However, he had gotten used to it a little.
At least Kieran did not vomit anymore.
His heart was no longer filled with fear.
The first item that Kieran picked up was the chef's knife from the body.
[Name: Chef's Knife]
[Type: Knife Weapon]
[Rarity: Damaged]
[Attack: Weak]
[Attributes: None]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of the dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: Usually used to chop vegetables, of course … You can also choose to chop people.]
The moment Kieran picked up the knife, the details of the item appeared before Kieran's eyes.
After sizing it up, Kieran put the knife back into his backpack and continued searching.
