Re-Awakening: I Ascend with a Legendary class

[Maddening Beaver]

-Level: 5

-[Vitality: 100%]

-[Mana: 600/600]

’It’s fat, alright,’ Almond looked at its status, his eyes focused.

Field Bosses were stronger than Adventurers of the same rank and level, requiring a group effort to defeat them.

But Almond had different thoughts. What if the rare drop chance increased if he fought and killed it alone, without any help, and did it quickly despite the gap in stats?

-Moonlight Wisps x 3 = 2 Mana, 1 Focus, 1 Perception, 1 Mana, 0.5 Perception.

-Bog Slithers x 3 = 1 Strength, 2 Health, 2 Stamina.

-Fen Serpents x 3 = 1 perception, 2 Strength, 2 Health, 1 Stamina, 1 Focus.

The above was the result of Spirit Devouring in this area and below his current status:

[Almond]

-Adventurer rank: Silver.

-Level: 5

-Class: Spirit Dealer (SS)

-[Vitality: 100%]

-[Mana: 575/575]

-Stats: 6 unassigned points

↳[Mana: 23 (+34.5) | Focus: 27 | Perception: 27]

"Come on, Maddy," Almond muttered under his breath as his eyes were locked onto the Maddening Breaver that was in the air and falling.

But before it reached the ground, the monster had swiped its right hand, shooting a sharp and two-meter-long three-clawed projectile at Almond, its speed breakneck.

His thought train stopped before it began as he felt a headache and pain, his vision turning red.

’Shit.’

He quickly injected the Spirit Syringe and recovered himself.

[Congratulations. You have killed a challenging foe all by yourself. You are rewarded 10,000 Gold coins for defeating the Maddening Beaver alone at your current level.]

[You have reached Silver rank level 6.]

’The notification is different,’ Almond’s eyes glinted. He looked at where the Maddening Beaver died and absorbed its spirit. Nearby, a glowing palm-sized orb was present, blue with brown patterns.

Almond had recovered to full thanks to his Spirit Syringe. He walked towards the orb and picked it up, looking at the rare-grade drop.

[Earth Shattering Gloves]

-Grade: [Rare / Low]

-Durability: [1500/1500]

-Attack: [100 + 100% of user’s Strength.]

-Effect(s):

—> (Active) Drilling Claw: Transforms the gloves into claws and consumes a certain amount of Mana every second, depending on the ground’s toughness to dig through and travel fast.

—> (Active) Infusing 50 Mana in the claws will create an Earth elemental barrier with a radius of 5 meters around the user.

—> (Passive) While the gloves are equipped, you exude an aura within a 5-meter radius that increases physical and magical defense by 50 flat values. This is only applicable to up to five ally targets selected by you.

"These are simply wonderful," Almond smiled. ’I can wear the gloves and hold the swords.’

The pair of gloves wasn’t a weapon, after all. However, it could become one with that first active effect.

’Rare drops are awesome.’

He didn’t join Lily and others in clearing the Monsters. Lily also didn’t deal many killing blows, instead, she let Alfred kill them.

She only killed Shimmering Fen Serpents masterfully to leave a good record in her class quest.

Natalia was progressing as well, albeit slowly.

"That was really fast, Almond. I looked away for a moment, and the Beaver’s giant head rolled off," Natalia blinked in curiosity. "But I saw a light."

"Aura Enfold," Lily said as she stared at Almond, her eyes sparkling with thrill and shock. "How did you do that?!"

Almond coughed and stood up, his expression turning solemn as he stood on a sword, holding a pose like a Jedi.

"Super Blade Awakening! Haa!" Almond cringed at his own words, but he swung the sword.

And nothing happened.

"As you can see, I also don’t know," Almond wryly smiled.

Natalia and Lily almost fell to the ground.

"You...you got us," Natalia burst out laughing.

"True. But that makes more sense because Aura Enfold is not easy to learn at all. But you’re really a monster, my darling," Lily’s arms went around his neck, resting on his shoulder and pecking on his lips. "A box full of surprise."

"Here’s another one," Almond smiled and showed them the Earth Shattering Gloves.
