My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Chapter 212 Cursed Tomb Of The Sea Devil - Floor 1 Pt.II



[You have killed 20 deep trench bukavacs]

[You have received 300,000 experience points]

‘Um, your calculations were way off, Akira. 20 weren’t even enough for a proper level up.’

‘S-Shut it! I forgot about how many experience points we need to level up.’

The twenty bukavacs I just killed were all sinking with blue lightning bouncing off their bodies. Some had multiple holes in their bodies, some were cut in half and some simply didn’t even have any bodies. I sighed and as the remaining 50 came at me.

‘[Shadow Cage].’

From the dark parts of the cave, the shadows crept up and grabbed one of the bukavacs. Slowly, it engulfed it and another four completely in an orb, trapping them. The best part about this cage was that there were various methods of killing with it. One was poison and the other, was creating spikes to stab your opponents.

Not wanting to waste time, I went for the latter.

[You have killed 4 deep trench bukavacs]

[You have received 60,000 experience points]

‘Ok, next up is [Dark Magic: Black Mass].’

From my body, a weird black smoke shot out into my surroundings. It like basically a cloud of ink that paralysed all the frogs coming close to me.

[You have created a [Dark Magic Area]]

[All Dark Magic will have a 10% increase in efficiency]

‘Eh? For real?’

‘Yep.’

‘A-and it’s a-also p-poisonous to creatures that aren’t d-demons or use dark magic.’

‘Cool.’

‘Yeah, but this dungeon has the [Dark] attribute, so I don’t think it will be effective on the other levels.’

‘Hmm, I even needed to raise my [Basic Light Magic], so I guess it works out.’

While I was talking, one bukavac wrapped its tongue around my wing… fin? Then it tried to pull me towards itself. I used a simple [High Force Impact] and its head went splat. I was surprised that [High Force Impact] killed it so easily.

[You have killed 1 deep trench bukavac]

[You have received 15,000 experience points]

Then again, it was called ‘High’ for a reason. Maybe the idiots I had been fighting with were simply so tough the impact wasn’t nearly as lethal on them as it would be on regular people.

‘[Dark Shot].’

I pointed my wings at frogs and started shooting dark orbs like bullets, instantly killing many of them. In seconds, I was done with 30 of the frog bastards.

[You have killed 30 deep trench bukavacs]

[You have received 450,000 experience points]

[You have gone up 1 level]

[You are now level 78]

‘God… it’s took almost all of them to give me just one level?’

‘But…’

‘Wait… this is just the first floor. Don’t worry. There’ll definitely be stronger opponents. There’s even that one guy that’s hiding deeper in this level.’

‘Hmm, i-it probably w-won’t b-be worth much.’

‘Well, if you think so.’

I looked at the remaining 15. I turned off the light orbs and used my [Shadow Cage] to kill off the survivors, before then collecting their corpses into my item box. Maybe if I ate them, I could get another level up. Unfortunately, they didn’t have souls, so they weren’t even worth much. I would simply finish this level before I ate.

[The skill [Basic Dark Magic] has become [Intermediate Dark Magic]]

‘Seriously? After using the skill for so long? It only just became intermediate? What’s the highest rank of magic?’

I conjured up another orb of light and proceeded deeper into the tomb. For a good minute I was just swimming through the cave. It was empty and massive. So large I was surprised I still hadn’t found the end of the level.

Even worse was the eyes that were watching me. It was getting annoying that I couldn’t tell exactly what they were. I had a working theory that they were related to that thing from before.

‘Oi, eyes. You’re the one that saved me during the necromancer incident, right?’

There was no response from the eyes. Rather, they only became more visible and larger in the darkness. I simply sighed and shrugged. If it was that, then they probably weren’t foe. That didn’t mean they were an ally either.

‘Oh well. As long as you won’t attack me, I have no problem with you peeping on me from time to time. When you’re ready to talk, I’ll be waiting.’

I gave it this message and continued further. I came to a hole so tiny that a creature my size wouldn’t have been able to fit. Well, that is, under normal circumstances.

I had the skill [Size Manipulation]! I shrank myself and entered through the hole. Even then it was a tight fit and felt like the hole was getting smaller the further in I went. I did come out in a small space though. There were mana crystals all over the walls, lighting the place up for me, so I just turned off my orb.

[Congratulations! You have found a hidden room in the dungeon [Cursed Tomb of the Sea Devil]]

[You have received the title [Hidden Explorer]]

[You will be alerted to hidden rooms in dungeons]

‘Eh? For real? Nice.’

These mana crystals had a green colour suggesting to me that they weren’t that valuable to someone like me. They were in the middle spectrum of value. They’d sell at a decent price though, so I guess there was no harm in me stealing them into my item box.

‘[Water blades].’

The water sliced off massive chunk of crystal which I then stole into my item box quickly.

‘Hehehe. Time to pile up all of these crystals. I’ll sell them back on the surface for lots of money.’

‘We’re going to be rich!’

‘We’ll be the richest person in the entire world!’

And thus, begun my greedy journey into the world of mining mana crystals. The room was cleared up in seconds and my item box was filled up with crystals. I even managed to find a deep blue crystal amongst the midst. It was the tinniest, but carried the most value out of them all.

As soon as I was done, I left the room and proceeded to search for the boss of the first level. What was strange to me was how no matter how far I went, it was like I wasn’t making any progress.

‘Wait up! Don’t move another inch.’

‘Akkun?’

‘S-sorry guys. I-I messed up!’

‘Huh?’

‘What’s that supposed to mean?’

‘Take a look at this.’

Hyakkun showed us our status.

[Heavily Illusioned]

‘Ah… and we never noticed?’

‘Yeah. Even the system didn’t give us a warning. It’s not your fault, Akkun.’

‘Y-Yeah, but I still let it happen.’

‘Calm down. Even our [Illusion Magic Resistance] was useless here.’

‘No! I’ll kill this creature for revenge.’

‘Dear Buddha.’

‘[Void Shot]!’

Akkun made me fire the super dangerous void shot randomly into the air. I assumed he had gone mad with rage, but then there was a loud screech echoing from the distance.

Overtime, the screech became louder and had less echoes. Once reality properly came back to me, I was floating helplessly with a creature the size of Goliath in his dragon form screaming in pain. It had six limbs just like the bukavacs.

Its skin was a random assortment of the colours black, yellow, green and red in a completely ugly collection. It had three curly horns on its head like a Chinese dragon with a long-forked tongue sticking out. As I traced its body, I noticed that it had a second neck, with no head, a freshly created wound.

‘Oh… did I just?’

‘Yep.’

‘Hmm, I expected more from this guy.’

‘I guess all that mana and magic power is for illusion magic to incapacitate us.’

The creature jumped back and started to swim away after spitting a cloud of green poison at me.

[The skill [Mid-Poison Resistance] has gone up 1 level]

‘Ugh, the old poison and run, huh? Not fun times… Sorry, but I’ll have to kill you.’

The creature kept wailing in fear. I was surprised since dungeon mobs didn’t get scared of anything. Maybe it was leading me towards a trap? My [Trap Detection] wasn’t picking up on anything, so I decided that it was best to just kill it.

‘[Light Shot], [Light Shot], [Light Shot], [Light Shot], [Light Shot].’

I fired off a few beams of light and stunned the snake looking beast. The skill wasn’t strong enough to do proper damage, but seeing as he was a C+ ranked creature, it actually caused some burns on his body. One actually hit its eye and blew it up.

I got closer and finished it off with a [Void Shot].

[You have killed 1 Shadow Tizhurek]

[You have received 30,000 experience points]

‘Hmm? Only worth twice as much as the bukavacs?’

‘That wasn’t the dungeon boss?’

The moment I did this, I heard a loud croaking sound. I snapped out of whatever state I was and there I saw, about a dozen more tizhureks, all hissing at me from the background.

There was a large bukavac sitting on a massive rock. His skin was a hazy grey and he had about five gnarled horns on his head. A tizhurek sat on his head, but this one had white manes on both heads and looked kinglier than the others.

[Level 1 Dungeon bosses <<Malevolent King Bukavac>> and <<Nightmare Queen Tizheruk>>]

[Defeat this boss to proceed to the next level]

‘Ah… at least something worthwhile.’
