Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 067: Practice
Since this was a Hard Dungeon, Natan was hoping to obtain a piece of equipment, or not that could help him to awaken and defend the Skeleton Squad.
[Gift has been shared]
"Eh?" Natan frowned when she saw the interface screen in front of her eyes. Then he opened the Inventory Guild and there was a gift box by the name of Natan Alexander.
There are also Tanaka Ayumi, Erina Adriani, Vely Anindya, Izora Calista and Olivia Edrea.
"Why is the reward only Gold Chest?" When Natan looked at the other Guild Inventory, there was the same box with a different name.
Without waiting for long, Natan opened a Gold Chest whose rewards were randomly split. Actually he was expecting more rewards when fighting Fire Dragon, but if it was his reward sharing system like this, then he could only accept it.
[Skeleton Orb] [Orb capable of increasing the level and number of Skeletons raised. +20% Slot from Player level and +20% level from player level]
[Attribute Card] [Adding attributes on one of the Equipment, according to the level of that item]
[Skeleton Ring] [Reduce Mana usage by 20% and increase mastery in controlling the Skeleton, so as not to overload the Player's body]
Natan smiled lightly when she saw what she got. With his level of 391 and using that black Skeleton Orb, he could awaken 208 Skeleton Squad. Then with the Mana Regeneration being only 5000 Points and there being a 20% reduction, he could maintain 125 Skeletons.
The Natan Skeleton now numbered 99 Skeletons. Starting from 4 Skeleton Commander Lv.351, 40 Skeleton Knight Lv.195, 10 Skeleton Spearman Lv.195, 10 Skeleton Fire Mage Lv.351, 10 Skeleton Ice Mage Lv.351, etc, 15 Skeleton Magic Archer Lv.351, 9 Mammoth Tank Lv.351, 1 Skeleton Giant Monster Lv.351.
Natan turned to the left to see Calista who had not moved. "You got what?"
"Fire and Ice Sword, then there's the Attribute Card." Calista answered without turning his head and remained focused on the interface screen in front of him.
Natan asks the same question to others, and what is obtained is not much different, depending on the job each is more mastered. He also adapted to Job Necromencer, Ayumi Sorcerer, Erina Paladin, Vely Magic Archer.
"Kuro, Kory. Back." Natan orders Kuro to hide in his shadow and Kori returns to the blue bracelet on her left wrist.
[Dungeon Vampire Castle will be closed in 10 Seconds]
Natan looked up and asked everyone to come closer. "Once we get out of here, we'll go straight north." He felt that someone would attack him, shortly after coming out of the Dungeon.
They nodded their heads simultaneously, even if coming out of the Dungeon and getting an attack did not make them injured, but it would be better to leave sooner rather than having to engage in unnecessary trouble.
The place around them began to crack that the gap between the cracks was orange, and before long there began to be a change that started from the ceiling of the room changed into a bright blue sky. High buildings began to be seen, until the place they stand now has changed.
Natan looked around, looking at the Players that were emerging from the air one by one. Their faces look very angry, sad and hateful at the same time. Of the previous 10,000 players, now only 1230 players are still alive.
Most of them were killed due to the wave of monsters on the 1st Floor, then the wave of monsters present in the 2nd Floor tomb, and the geographical state that was a dangerous swamp on the 3rd Floor. If only they ascended to the 4th Floor, it was certain that there would be no survivors except for Natan's team.
"Now." Nathan gave a cue and went straight from where they were standing.
Ayumi and the others also ran behind following the footsteps of Natan who was leading the escape. They run without looking back or ignoring the other Player's situation.
When just running, the player who was left behind began to realize there was an escape and began to release arrows and magic attacks.
Natan who was running in the front row turned around and jumped back with the sniper already in hand. He pulled the trigger to repel the attack with an attack, and did not forget to shoot the heads of all the attacking Players.
A few seconds later, he landed with both feet touching the ground, then turned back and ran further.
Within three to five seconds, Natan managed to withstand dozens of attacks and killed seven Players. If there was more time, maybe he could kill more, but he did not want to linger because it was getting dark. They had to find a place to rest.
A dozen minutes later, they had already reached Chatuchak District which was not far from the Vampire Castle Dungeon. But at least they will not be found by other players.
"Where will we spend the night?" ask Calista.
Natan looked around, they were currently on the main road. The buildings are quite large and tall, but not too big as in central Bangkok. "We'll avoid the mall, because it's better to look for a regular house."
Despite saying he wanted to find an ordinary house, Natan ran to an area that looked luxurious and expensive, the average house there has two floors and up to four floors.

Vibrations and loud clashing sounds could be felt on the top floor of the four-story building, at a time when it was still early in the morning. This voice was the one evoked by Natan and Olivia who were practicing martial arts together.
Natan himself practiced through the internet, mastering one martial art took almost a year to become truly proficient.
Their training today was one that, like hitting sandbags and being well positioned in standing, stepping, running, jumping and defending.
"Wing Chun." Natan positioned both hands in front that were parallel to her face. "In the movie, the hands are in front of the chest. But remember, you're not Donnie Yen, so protect your face from being attacked. The face is the most important part of the martial arts."
"Try hitting." Nathan asks Olivia to hit him.
Olivia was stunned, but still hit Natan on the face.
Natan catches the punch, with the right hand catching the wrist and the left hand pressing on Olivia's elbow. "Speed, your punch is less fast."
Olivia gave a small nod and pulled her hand which was a little sore from the impact on her elbow.
"His footsteps should also be noted. But, since the world has changed like this, you have to be able to adapt, or use the steps you think are right for you."
Olivia nodded her head again. "Thank you."
"Sister!" Ayumi shouted quite loudly. "Breakfast is ready."
Natan walked towards the stairs connecting to the lower floor, followed by Olivia walking behind her. "Today's enough exercise, one hour's day is enough. Don't push yourself too much."
"Good." Olivia nodded her head and continued to follow Natan.
When Natan went down to the second floor, there was already a neat arrangement of all the food portions are really a lot, maybe twice the normal portion. Kuro and Kori had also turned into small sizes like puppies, but even so, the portion of the meal was really a lot.
"How's your training going?" ask Calista who approached. Calista himself also wanted to practice Kendo, so that his sword skills would be even better.
Natan wants to teach Calista, but he feels Kendo is too different from the two swordsmanship Calista uses. Kendo uses a sword that can be used one or two hands, his sword is also easy to use. Unlike the sword Calista used, which was too big and heavy.
But since he has already promised to help Calista train, he will train him even if he may not in the near future. After all, this was all so that the Armonia Guild could become even stronger, not only in terms of level, but also skills and experience.
