Chapter 45: 045 Bone Shield Upgrade

Translator: 549690339

Inside the Goblin Dungeon.

“Boss, we must leave here as soon as possible, a large pack of wolves will be coming soon!”

Goblin Da Li suggested to Dean McKenzie immediately.

However, Dean McKenzie did not adopt this suggestion.

He was planning to use this place to max out his and his two dogs’ attribute points.

But, McKenzie also knew that if he didn’t deal with all the Swiftwind Wolves, this place would soon be surrounded by them.

For this, McKenzie had his own countermeasures.

McKenzie had just given it a go and found out that the Gate of Bone could also be used in this dungeon.

That is to say, he could also enter the Land of Bone in this dungeon.

However, when McKenzie entered, the Gate of Bone could not be withdrawn.

Otherwise, his connection with this dungeon would be cut off, and he would have to exit the dungeon.

Of course, this wasn’t a major issue.

McKenzie, in no time, summoned the Gate of Bone.

He brought along his two dogs, and the dumbfounded Da Li, into the Land of Bone.

“Doggy Two, Doggy Three, you guys keep an eye on the gates, if the wolf pack tries to damage the gate, stop them!”

After quickly giving the orders to his two subordinates, McKenzie didn’t bother about the stunned Da Li and he went straight into a meditative state to recover his mana.

“Eh!”

As soon as he started meditating, Dean noticed that his meditation efficiency seemed much higher in the Land of Bone than outside.

With 661 mana points, Dean McKenzie, after consuming a mana potion, amazingly restored all his mana in just over half an hour.

This efficiency was threefold compared with outside.

“Is it because this secret realm currently belongs to me? Or is it because of my profession?”

Dean was uncertain of the reasons.

But whatever the reason, the current situation was excellent news for Dean.

“In this way, I can finish off the wolf pack faster!

Come again!”

After that, Dean with Doggy Two once again charged out from the Gate of Bone.

Surrounding him were a group of Swiftwind Wolves who had come for revenge. As soon as Dean showed up, he was surrounded by the pack.

This wolf pack was much larger than the previous one, but unfortunately, they were still of no match.

Doggy Two and Doggy Three burst into action, and the wolf pack was defeated in less than two minutes. Dean joined in the charge and bagged

around thirty Swiftwind Wolves.

The Elite Swiftwind Wolf was also captured by Dean, its limbs were broken and was sent into the Land of Bone.

Now, Dean habitually stored elite monsters.

As for the remaining thirty or so Swiftwind Wolves, Dean extracted all of them and gained 6 Spirit and 4 Strength, which were shared between him and Doggy Two.

After completing this wave, Dean returned to the Land of Bone to recover his mana.

Half an hour later, Dean McKenzie stepped out again to take action for the third time.

The third time was just as successful for Dean.

Dean gained 4 Spirit, and Doggy Two gained 4 Strength.

By now, Dean’s Spirit and Doggy Two’s Strength had reached a terrifying 32.1 and 25.7 respectively.

And all of this took less than two hours.

Looking at his attribute panel, Dean felt as if he was dreaming.

However, the dream pretty much ended here.

[Your attribute distribution has temporarily reached the limit. Please elevate your personal level to level 21, or your talent level to level 2!]

[The target you granted attributes to…]

Dean and Doggy Two’s attributes could temporarily not be increased anymore.

But, Dean and Doggy Two’s current attributes were good enough!

“Now that my attributes are all improved, I should finally deal with that pack of wolves. Wait…”

Dean McKenzie’s words came to an abrupt stop as he looked at the Gate of Bone, raising an eyebrow, “They’re eyeing the Gate of Bone!”

At this moment, just outside the Gate of Bone.

Swarming around it were hundreds, at least, of Swiftwind Wolves.

Clearly, they had noticed something was off about this gate.

“Since they’ve targeted it, what’s the point of talking? Let’s fight!”

From within the Gate of Bone, Dean McKenzie waved his hand and the Gate of Bone opened, releasing a stream of skeletons.

The sudden opening of the Gate of Bone, coupled with the appearing skeletons, gave the surrounding Swiftwind Wolves a scare.

They retreated one after the other!

“Awoooo!”

Then, from behind the pack, a wolf howl rang out.

The sudden howl drastically changed the wolves’ morale.

The retreating wolves abruptly stopped. The forward wolves opened their mouths and released twenty or thirty green gusts of wind that hit the skeletons, taking out a dozen or so instantly.

This was due to the skeletons being densely packed.

The wolves acted systematically, the first wave retreated right after attacking and the next came forward, releasing another wave of wind blades.

Dean quickly figured out the situation.

After a few rounds like this, for every skeleton he sent out, a group would die. He quickly threw up the Bone Shield.

Through the Gate of Bone, he threw Bone Shields over his skeletons one by one.

Now, Dean McKenzie’s spiritual power was as high as 32.1. The activated Bone Shield defense was at the terrifying level of 123.2.

This defense could easily block several wind blades.

As Dean McKenzie’s skeletons received the Bone Shield one by one, their survival ability greatly improved.

But there was also a problem. He couldn’t send out too many skeletons as he wouldn’t be able to manage them.

This was somewhat awkward.

Just as Dean McKenzie was thinking of a way to break this deadlock, he noticed his Bone Shield skill’s proficiency was rapidly increasing during this process.

This caused Dean to change his mind.

“Such a good chance to grind skill proficiency doesn’t come often. Since there’s no danger, why not try to raise the skill proficiency to level 3?”

In order to grind skill proficiency, Dean even gave up many skeletons, focusing only on protecting two skeletons, which in turn defended the Gate of Bone.

However, even with only two skeletons, Dean had to expend 50 points of mana every minute.

With Dean’s current mana pool of 731, he could only sustain this for about ten minutes.

Thus, Dean was chugging potions, meditating, and casting Bone Shield all at once.

Lucky it was Dean. Anyone else would not have been able to manage such complex multitasking.

By this method, Dean managed to level up his Bone Shield skill to level 2 in just about ten minutes.

[Your skill [Bone Shield) has leveled up to level 2!]

Skill: Bone Shield (Enhanced)

Level: 2 (0/200)

Consumption: 22 points

Invocation: Forge the indestructible shield with the Power of Death

Effect: Summon a bone shield with a defensive value of 2.2 times spirit plus 18, duration of 70 seconds

Invisible Shield: Your bones will maintain a shield with a defense value of 18. If shattered, it will be restored within 30 minutes.

Skill Trait: Bone Hardening (Level 2) (Increases skill defense passively by 100% (maximum increase of 50)) (This effect is not applied to Invisible Shield)

The skill’s consumption decreased by 3 mana points, multiplied by 2 is now multiplied by 2.2, the Invisible Shield increased from 9 to 18 points.

This level up immediately increased Dean’s Bone Shield defense by 15 points.

Of course, the additional 15 points of defense was not important, what mattered was that the skill was now one step closer to the next level of enhancement….
