Chapter 115

Squeak.
[Stunned for 2 seconds].
[Reduces Physical Armor by 10% for 10 seconds].
A stun message and a defense reduction message appeared. Ming Hu looked at the message and saw the gargoyle knight and gargoyle soldier swinging their swords at him again, and within two seconds, the stun was lifted, and Ming Hu quickly exclaimed, “I’m stunned.
“Life Explosion”
[Gain 20% increased damage for 20 seconds].
[Gain 20% attack speed for 20 seconds].
Oooooh!
A ripple spread out from Ming Hu’s body, blasting past the stone knights and stone soldiers wielding swords.

The stone soldiers were cracked and shattered. However, unlike the stone knight, the stone soldiers were cracked but not broken.
Whip
Ming Hu quickly rolled to the side as the gargoyle knight swung his sword again, and stood up, looking at the gargoyle knight. The gargoyle was cracked all over, and it was lucky it wasn’t broken. Ming Hu thought to himself as he looked at the stone knight, who looked like he would shatter at the slightest touch.
‘It’s a bit of a shock that it wasn’t one shot’
Life Explosion’s wave deals the same damage as your normal hit. However, being hit by the wave and not dying means that you can’t be killed by your own flat hit. It’s a bit shocking that a low-level gargoyle knight, a mid-tier monster, doesn’t get a hit.
‘Whoa. Let’s get him.’
Ming Hu lunged at the gargoyle knight, dodging his sword and diving into his arms to punch him.
Occipital
The stone knight, whose entire body was otherwise cracked, was instantly shattered by Ming Hu’s fist.
[Level Up!]
The gargoyle knight shattered, revealing a level-up message.
“Oh.”
It was a message he hadn’t seen in a long time. Ming Hu smiled and began picking up the dropped items.
-You have earned the Mark of the Lesser Gargoyle Knight.
-You’ve mastered a low-level marble piece with life.
-You have earned the Intermediate Gargoyle Soldier’s Mark.
You’ve mastered a lower-grade marble sculpture.
After picking up all the items, Ming Hu opened the Character window.

“How many can I have?”
Muttering to himself, Ming Hu opened his inventory and looked at the Elixir of Strength that occupied a corner of his inventory.
“Maybe I’ll just take the whole thing.”
Currently, Ming Hu had 106 Elixirs of Power. If he took them all and invested the bonus stats in Power, he would eventually gain 10700 Power due to the source of his Skill Power.
“That’ll give you a good kick in the ass.”
If its strength rose above 10,000, its damage would increase tremendously, and at that point, it would be worthy of taking a shot at not only low-level Gargoyles, but also mid-level Gargoyles and high-level Gargoyles, which were the top monsters.
“If you post it and it’s not a slap…”
If you still don’t get a shot, it’s not a matter of damage.
“It’s a shame, but…”
Ming Hu invested the bonus stats into his power, looked at the elixir with a wistful expression, and began to take it.

After taking all the elixirs, Ming Hu opened the character window.

“Wow, we’re about to hit 100,000.”
Ming Hu muttered to himself as he looked at his power stats.
“Hmm.”
With a smile, Ming Hu closed the character window and resumed walking along the road. After a while, Ming Hu stopped when he saw a stone knight standing guarding the path.
“Huh, let’s go!”
He let out a short cheer and started running toward the gargoyle knight.
-Oh, my soldiers!
The gargoyle knight recognized Ming Hu and began to summon the gargoyle soldiers. Ming Hu smiled as he saw the gargoyle soldiers appear.
‘I should have run.
At this rate, it looked like I could get to the gargoyle knight before the gargoyle soldiers were summoned.
“Moving Strike.”
Once he had gotten a good distance away from the gargoyle knight, Ming Hu used a moving strike to move in front of the gargoyle knight and attack.
Puck! Tsk tsk.
“…Oh.”
After being attacked by Ming Hu, the gargoyle knight stood still as he summoned the gargoyle soldiers, and his entire body cracked and began to shatter.
Thrrrr
The gargoyle soldiers, who hadn’t finished summoning yet, disappeared. Ming Hu looked at the spot where the gargoyle soldiers had been summoned.
“Huh? Can’t you drop it?”
The spot where the gargoyle soldiers were about to be summoned was quite neat. Ming Hu shook his head and picked up the item the gargoyle knight had dropped first.
-You have earned the Mark of the Lesser Gargoyle Knight.
“Hmm.”
Picking up the dropped item, Ming Hu looked at the spot where the stone soldiers had been summoned and let out a short curse. He then muttered to himself.
“Next time, I’ll have to wait until they’re all summoned.”
Ming Hu muttered to himself and resumed walking along the path, until he came upon a gargoyle knight that caused him to stop and pause for a moment. This time, there wasn’t just one stone knight guarding the path.
“…Hmm.”
Ming Hu saw the two stone knights guarding the road and hesitated for a moment. But then he realized he didn’t need to think about it. He started running straight toward the stone knights.
-Oh, my soldiers!
-Oh, my soldiers!
As if on cue, both gargoyle knights began to summon gargoyle soldiers. Ming Hu stopped walking when he was about 10 meters away from the gargoyle knights and waited for the gargoyle soldiers to be summoned.
“Wow, this is different.
The summoned gargoyle soldiers held a mix of swords, bows, and staves. Soon, the summoning of the gargoyles was complete.
-Come on, my soldiers!
-Come on, my soldiers!
With a shout, the stone knights began to run toward Ming Hu. Ming Hu smiled as he saw the gargoyle knights and gargoyle soldiers running toward him.
“Moving Strike.”
Puck!
The stone knight struck by the moving blow cracked and began to shatter instantly. Noticing the broken stone knight and the stone soldier casting behind it, Ming Hu quietly exclaimed, “I’m not going to let this happen!
“Wham Boom.”
Ming Hu’s fist glowed red. He quickly threw a punch at the gargoyle soldier swinging his sword at him.
Boom!
A huge explosion erupted from the back of the gargoyle that had been attacked by Ming Hu. The gargoyle casting behind him and several other gargoyles were caught in the blast and shattered. Ming Hu quickly turned his head to see where the remaining stone knights were.
Wham!
Turning his head, Ming Hu quickly ducked down. The gargoyle knight’s sword passed over Ming Hu as he crouched.
“Life Explosion!”
[Gain 20% increased damage for 20 seconds].
[Gain 20% attack speed for 20 seconds].
Oooooh.
The gargoyle knights and gargoyle soldiers, about to swing their swords once more, were stopped in their tracks the moment the wave passed, and when Ming Hu raised his bowed body again, it began to crumble as if in promise.
“This is going to be tough without skills.”
Ming Hu muttered something like that and began collecting the dropped items.
-You have earned the Mark of the Lesser Gargoyle Knight.
-You have mastered intermediate marble sculpting.
-You have earned the Mark of the Lesser Gargoyle Knight.
-You have earned the Mark of the Lesser Gargoyle Soldier.
After collecting the items, Ming Hu looked at his inventory with a slightly surprised expression and muttered to himself.
“Wow. I’ll get quite a bit of credit for this.”
In his inventory, he found a large collection of tokens that could be redeemed for merit. After looking at the tokens, Ming Hu closed his inventory and started walking down the road again. After a few battles, Ming Hu finally encountered a mid-level gargoyle knight instead of a low-level gargoyle knight.
“…what.
After seeing the intermediate level stone statue knight, Ming Hu couldn’t help but be a little puzzled.
“Why three horses to start with…
And not just one, either: there were three mid-level stone knights guarding the road.
‘Grrr…’
Ming Hu furrowed his brow. From what I’ve seen against two lesser Stone Knights, the difference between one and two is enormous. It’s not just a difference of one animal. They summon stone soldiers.
“I’ve never dealt with this guy before.
Not two, but three. And since this was their first encounter, they had no idea how they would behave. Ming Hu remembered the quest. He let out a short sigh and thought to himself.
“…can you break it?
