Level 2 Player

Leo’s Growth (2)

“How are you using mage skills!”

“Earlier, you also used the curse skills of a dark type healer!”

“Using skills of several classes, how can that be?”

“Is that guy human? What is his identity?”

The enemies lost fighting spirit and fell into panic and rambled. However, that was a matter of no relation at all to Jin-su.

Slash! Splat!

“Aak!”

“S-save me!”

“It hurts! I said it hurts!”

Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword and suppressed all the enemies.

‘They are Musung origin players.’

Jin-su activated Stat Predation and Skill Predation throughout the combat. Thanks to that, he could predate the skills and stats below 200 that the enemies possessed.

‘On top of that, they are the demonic path.’

The skills Jin-su predated were all skills that the Musung origin demonic path players use as main. The players of the demonic path who walk the demonic path often had those with bizarre personalities and inclinations to the degree of being mistaken for the mentally ill at a glance.

‘Not all are like that.’

But the fact that such a tendency is strong was true.

‘The martial arts are the problem.’

The martial arts of the demonic path have the advantage of fast growth instead of being unstable. As disadvantages, there was the point that because growth is fast, one faces the limit that much faster, and the point that it is hard to break through the faced limit with unstable martial arts.

‘In the Tower, the advantages of demonic path martial arts stand out, and the disadvantages die.’

If facing the limit, it is fine if catching high-grade monsters, piling corresponding karma, raising the level, and surpassing. Also, while being skillized, the instability of demonic path martial arts was largely supplemented.

‘Well, even so, the origin cannot be changed.’

The skillized martial arts of the demonic path could not completely throw off the inherent weakness of instability. That is why cases of self-destructing due to mana runaway or abnormalities occurring in the mind often occurred.

If changing class to a class that raises durability stats and mental power stats or wearing items with options that assist the two stats, the safety can be raised, but...

‘Because there are so many guys who change class to warrior or assassin types with the thought that such things are fine if overcome with will according to inclination.’

They also preferred attack power-focused settings for items. That is why among demonic path origins, the tendency for the instability of martial arts to become stronger was rather high.

‘To begin with, they are guys who prefer becoming strong quickly even if unstable rather than becoming strong stably and slowly.’

Rather than raising stability and aiming for the middle path, most were those who pursue extreme strength.

“What is the reason you tailed me?”

At Jin-su’s question, the players hesitated and could not open their mouths rashly.

Whoosh!

Slash!

The Blood-Sucking Sword cut one finger of one player.

“Aaaak!”

The player let out a painful scream.

“The reason you tailed me?”

Jin-su asked while looking at the player whose finger was cut.

“This dog-like bastard, my finger!”

However, the player was still in a state of not properly grasping reality. Jin-su swung the Blood-Sucking Sword one more time with an indifferent expression.

Whoosh!

Slash!

One finger of the player was cut again.

“Heuk! It hurts! I will die from pain!”

The player whose two fingers were cut let out a scream while shedding tears drop by drop.

“It seems there is still no thought of answering.”

Jin-su raised the Blood-Sucking Sword again.

“It was the branch leader’s order!”

At that moment, the player whose two fingers were cut urgently opened his mouth.

“The branch leader’s order. Which affiliation?”

“It is Sahyeolmun affiliation.”

“Are Sahyeolmun and Changseongmun at war?”

“Th-that is not. But the relationship is not good.”

“Is that so.”

When Jin-su arrived at Floor 200 before regression, Changseongmun and Sahyeolmun were at war.

‘It seems it has not gone to war yet.’

But although war has not occurred, it seems the relationship of growling at each other is the same.

“What kind of order did the branch leader give?”

“He said to confirm whether you entered Changseongmun.”

“He said to confirm? Looking at your actions, it does not seem that is the end?”

“A-actually, he said to suppress you and bring you. Since there is a connection with Changseongmun, there will be use.”

“I knew it would be like that.”

If affiliated with Changseongmun, it will become a good card. Even if not affiliated with Changseongmun, it seemed they judged there is a corner to use somehow.

“Is it a lie? To think you aimed at us for only such a reason?”

Shin Su-a said as if hard to believe.

“I-it is real! It is absolutely not a lie!”

The player whose finger was cut shouted as if unfair.

If thinking commonsensically, aiming at someone for only such a reason is a strange matter.

‘But in the Tower, far more nonsensical matters occur than commonsensical matters.’

Frankly speaking, there were often cases of a knife fight occurring because of looking at them unpleasantly while passing or not yielding the path.

‘From Floor 200, such a tendency is more severe.’

Even if the origin dimension is the same, there is a gap from cultural differences, so how much more between those who came from completely different dimensions? On top of that, the Tower is a world of the law of the jungle where power dominates everything.

‘Among the guys who think themselves strong, there are quite a few who act openly with no regard for others.’

Sahyeolmun is a gathering of guys with such an inclination, so they sufficiently commit such acts for such trivial reasons and more.

‘There would also have been a tendency to look down on me because I am Earth origin.’

If Jin-su was Arius origin or Musung origin, they would have seen some liver. However, because he was Earth origin, the thought that they are naturally weaker than themselves was stuck in their brains, so they probably could not even have the thought itself that they could be hit in reverse.

“Leo.”

Jin-su called Leo.

“Nyaang?”

“Eat freely.”

“Nyang!”

At Jin-su’s words, Leo opened his mouth wide excitedly.

“Hiiik!”

“This cruel bastard! Just kill us!”

“Giving people as beast feed!”

“How can you do such an evil act while wearing a human face!”

The players shouted curses with terrified expressions.

“Nyaam!”

At that time, Leo bit one player’s arm with a gulp.

“Aak! I am being eaten alive! That monster cat is eating me!”

The player whose arm was bitten made a painful expression and struggled.

“Huh?”

The player who was struggling for a while tilted his head once the expected pain did not come. No matter how strongly Leo bit, it was only to the degree of small tooth marks appearing.

So naturally, not the pain of flesh being torn off, but only pain of a slightly stinging degree was felt.

“Ahem.”

“Are you toying with us? Just kill us!”

The players thought Jin-su was playing with them and felt strong humiliation.

“M-my stats and skills!”

However, after a while, the player had no choice but to be astonished. Because his stats and skill levels were dropping steadily.

“Why is that guy like that?”

“Yeah, what sound is that suddenly?”

“Huh? Come to think of it, why are my stats and skill levels like this?”

“Me too?”

The players who opened their status windows while seeing the astonished colleague were all startled. They only then confirmed that some stats and skill levels dropped sharply.

“Nyaang!”

Thud thud thud!

Leo excitedly bit and tore the players.

‘As expected, Leo’s skill efficiency is far better than mine.’

Jin-su activated Skill Predation and Stat Predation while fighting. However, until the combat ended, he could not predate all the skills and stats below 200 that they possessed.

However, Leo predated the skills and stats below 200 of the players at an enormously fast speed.

‘It is regrettable that the constraint of below 200 is hanging.’

The skills obtained through Skill Sharing with Leo have the disadvantage that the level is not properly displayed.

‘If using level fix, the efficiency seems like it will rise more.’

Since it is a situation experienced for the first time in life across before and after regression, it was hard to easily make a decision.

[Due to continuous predation, the level restriction of Skill Predation and Stat Predation is partially released.]

“Huh?”

At that time, a system message floated in front of Jin-su’s eyes.

‘Partial release of level restriction?’

Jin-su’s eyes flashed.

“Nyaang?”

Leo also tilted his head as if feeling something and approached the player who finished Stat Predation and Skill Predation and swung his front paw again.

‘Status window.’

Jin-su opened the status window and confirmed the levels of Skill Predation and Stat Predation.

[Skill Predation - Level E￢бA]

[Stat Predation - Level E￢бA]

‘There is no change?’

The level part looked like the system window was broken the same as before.

“Open the status window to me.”

Jin-su asked the player who newly received the front paw baptism from Leo.

“No!”

The player answered with an expression full of anger.

Slash!

Jin-su swung the Blood-Sucking Sword.

“Aaaak!”

“Will you do it? Or not?”

Jin-su asked again.

“I-I will do it.”

The player opened his status window along with those words.

‘There are no stats and skills below 500?’

Originally, only stats and skills below 200 should have disappeared. But now the situation changed.

“Open the status window to me.”

Jin-su said to the player who Leo’s hand has not touched yet.

“Understood.”

Whether seeing the colleague being hit earlier, he was obedient. The status window of the player who Leo’s hand has not touched was relatively intact.

Thud!

Jin-su hit the player with the sword sheath.

“Aak! Why are you hitting? I did as told!”

The player protested. However, Jin-su did not care and continued to swing the sword sheath.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Stop! Stop! Just kill me nicely! I did everything told! But why are you hitting!”

The player raised his voice in unfairness. However, Jin-su had no leeway to listen to the words of the player being beaten. Because all his nerves were focused on the changes of the status window the opponent opened.

‘He is predating stats and skills below 500.’

At first, only stats and skills below 200 could be predated. But now that limit increased to below 500.

‘This is not that I grew.’

Leo grew.

‘No, can this be called growth?’

Jin-su recalled the system message that the level restriction was partially released.

‘Is it that the Stat Predation and Skill Predation levels Leo possesses are enormously high, so a restriction was hanging? And the level restriction was partially released because continuously using Stat Predation and Skill Predation?’

The current situation could only be understood like that.

‘How is such a thing possible?’

Whether a class change certificate or a skill book, the level at the moment of acquisition is 1.

Yet, Leo was an exception.

‘On top of that, Leo used Stat Predation that can be used only if hitting class level 100 as soon as absorbing the Dark Predator class change certificate.’

The skill Shadow Footsteps shared from Leo also had the level broken.

‘Is Leo’s skill level something the system cannot express? Because the skill and level system of the shadow magical beast is different from the player’s?’

Jin-su’s mind became complicated. However, the conclusion was one.

‘It was good that I did not touch rashly.’

Seeing the appearance of Skill Predation and Stat Predation levels being broken, he deliberated whether to use a level fix stack. However, because it is related to Leo, he did not use it with the heart of whether a bad influence might go.

‘If growing on his own, there is no need to touch from now on either.’

It is not because the level fix stack is wasteful. It was because of the worry that if using for no reason, he might block Leo’s growth.

‘Skill Predation and Stat Predation are not my skills.’

Jin-su only received the skills shared.

The owner of Skill Predation and Stat Predation is Leo to the end.

‘Leo is not bound by the Blessing like me.’

The Blessing has advantages and disadvantages coexisting. Because of that, Jin-su also suffered not a little at first.

‘But now it is not.’

Jin-su obtained far more than he lost due to the Blessing.

‘However, Leo’s circumstances are different.’

There is no guarantee that what is good for Jin-su will also be good for Leo. Is it not a matter of whether the skill level that is unconditionally fixed related to 2 might become a shackle for Leo?

‘It is curious though.’

How a summon Leo who is not a player can absorb the Dark Predator class change certificate. Also, how he possesses high-level Skill Predation and Stat Predation from the beginning. What the meaning of the level restriction being partially released is.

‘Well, it will be known someday.’

Actually, it did not matter even if not knowing. Because Leo has been together with Jin-su until now and will continue to be together from now on.
