Unfortunately, Fenrath’s time limit forced him to leave before Kael could properly celebrate their victory together. Kael would have loved to share the spoils with him, especially after everything they had gone through to defeat Zhenku. More importantly, he had just extracted another legendary trace. That meant a new summon would soon join their ranks, and Kael was far too curious to waste any time.He ignored the other system messages and immediately opened the notification concerning the legendary trace.[You have extracted the legendary trace from the monkey boss, Zhenku.][The legendary trace has entered your equipment.][You’re free to bind it to yourself.]‘Wait a second,’ Kael thought as he opened his inventory.The legendary trace was there, looking like a transparent piece of darkness filled with countless golden stars. Kael assumed the darkness came from Zhenku’s dark fur while the golden stars represented its legendary grade. He wasn’t certain, but that hardly mattered righ

Rakuun climbed over the heap of fruits, grabbed one, and devoured it within a minute before hopping back down. He had only about two minutes left before his time in the world ended, and the little monkey seemed to understand that. Instead of simply standing around, he immediately noticed an arrow sticking out of the ground. He ran over, pulled it free with the abnormal strength of a legendary existence, and hurried back to Kael to hand it over.Kael accepted the arrow absentmindedly and pushed it into his quiver while his attention remained on the system message.‘Isn’t Misfit much better for me?’ Kael thought.His previous title had essentially placed him on the side of the humans, demons, and their allies who had rebelled against the legendary existences. Now that the title had evolved, things were different. Wouldn’t being a Misfit allow him to find common ground between both sides and benefit from either one when the opportunity appeared? Even if that proved difficult, Kael could

For Archers, Strength and Dexterity were the two stats that directly shaped their combat ability, so assigning them properly and maintaining a good balance was important. Of course, players could gain stats from many different sources, including leveling up, equipment, titles, skills, and more. Getting a perfect balance between all those sources was rare because nothing in the game was designed to work perfectly for everyone. Players often ran into problems when they acquired new skills or equipment that pushed one stat far beyond what they were accustomed to.A Swordsman, for example, could suddenly gain too much Dexterity and find himself swinging his blade faster than he could control, throwing off his balance and even sinking his feet into the ground like a fool. Mages had their own problems. Too much Intelligence could make their spells more powerful than expected, causing them to injure themselves while trying to control their magic.“Too many vibrations on the bowstring, which

[You have entered a hidden room.]Wearing the Wolf Boss set, which greatly improved his defenses, Kael appeared inside the hidden room where Averic had once slept. He didn’t bother with a torch this time. He already knew the room well enough to walk straight toward the ancient writings spread across the floor and carved into the pillars. The moment he activated them, their brilliant light filled the room and temporarily blinded him.At the same time, Averic awakened.The legendary eagle spread his enormous wings and rose toward the ceiling before releasing his bottomless darkness. In an instant, the cave was swallowed by blackness. He had clearly been expecting the human traitor to return.“Haha!” Averic’s prideful laughter echoed throughout the cave. “You even betrayed your kind and became one of the misfits! Have you been expecting me to side with you because of that?!”Kael quickly moved behind one of the glowing pillars and shook his head.“That never crossed my mind.”“Lies,” Ave

The brief glimpse of eternal death in Kael’s eyes was enough to trigger the legendary boss’s second phase.Averic shook off the pain from his wounds and forced his body beyond its previous limits. His speed increased sharply as he fled into the ocean of darkness, avoiding every lethal arrow Kael sent after him. Kael clicked his tongue and moved toward the center of the cave, while Fenrath dropped hard onto the ground after being knocked away. The impact cost him three hundred health points and left him stunned for a moment, but the puppy refused to stay down. He quickly pushed himself back onto all four paws, shook his body to clear his head, and proudly ran toward his master.Then the familiar web of darkness emerged from the bottomless shadows.“So many of them, right?” Kael chuckled as he looked at the dark eagles darting from one point to another, gradually forming the terrifying net of darkness he remembered from their first battle.Fenrath nodded.Kael was already in Master Form
Chapter 44
Kael had one element of surprise left… or at least, that was what Averic should have thought.[You have taken off the wolf boss helmet.][You have taken off the wolf boss armor.][You have taken off the wolf boss greave.][You have taken off the wolf boss boots.]Fenrath had grown stronger, and his bond with Kael had deepened considerably, but that alone couldn’t explain the evolution of the Human Traitor title. There simply hadn’t been enough time for a relationship with one summon to cause such a major change. Averic should have at least suspected that Kael had discovered another legendary trace and formed a contract with it. That would have given him a reasonable explanation for Kael suddenly becoming a Misfit.‘Think a few moves ahead… predict what he can do!’Kael was fighting a legendary boss whose third phase hadn’t even appeared on the game’s forums. Nobody had written a guide about Averic, and there was no player discussion explaining how to defeat him cleanly. It wasn’t as t

[-371 HP!]‘It was way faster than his previous arrows! What has he done?!’ Averic screeched inwardly.Before he could recover his position at the highest point of the cave, Kael released three more arrows. Their whistles sounded almost like demons laughing from within the darkness.Kael fired from different angles as he moved constantly. Joker Form gave him the freedom to run, change direction, and attack without remaining in one place. His increased Dexterity didn’t only make his fingers faster. His entire body had become quicker and more agile.He moved from one point to another while continuously firing at Averic’s head and white beak.The pressure made it difficult for Averic to adapt.He could follow Kael’s movements, but that wasn’t enough to counter the barrage of arrows. At most, he could intercept some of them, and the increased speed made it almost impossible to determine which arrow carried Death’s Lock.That was the biggest problem.Averic sacrificed some of his control o

Kael dropped onto the ground.The battle against Averic had demanded so much from his body that the moment it was over, his legs gave out and he landed on his bottom. He wiped the sweat from his face and closed his eyes, taking a few minutes to recover before finally opening his game system.The first thing that caught his attention was the improvement to his Perception Skill. It had risen by an entire grade during the battle. Even better, the fight against the legendary boss had pushed his body so hard that he had received additional stat points for both Strength and Dexterity. Kael couldn’t help feeling satisfied. Every part of that battle had been brutal, but it had also forced him to grow.The legendary trace of Averic was sitting inside his inventory as well. Unlike Rakuun’s trace, it looked like a thin slice of darkness containing a single white star. It was a simple appearance, but it represented Averic’s origins perfectly.Kael didn’t hesitate.He immediately bonded the trace

“I think I will be able to make a really powerful set of arrows with his bones and feathers, but I don’t really have a clue for the rest,” Kael said as he looked over the legendary boss’s carcass.He could already imagine how useful Averic’s bones would be. They were smooth, strong, and seemed perfect for making arrowheads. Combined with his feathers, they could potentially produce arrows of epic grade or even better. Such arrows would be a huge asset to an Archer like Kael.He could also cook Averic’s meat over the bonfire and see whether it provided any temporary buffs. Cooked food could be stored in his inventory, so even if the effects weren’t useful immediately, there was no reason not to preserve it for later.Before Garrick could respond, Kael suddenly raised a finger.“Ah, wait… I can use his sinews to upgrade my bowstrings. Maybe his eyes would turn into a low-grade gem, too?”Garrick smiled. “You lack the skills to turn his eyes into resources. Those methods aren’t available
Chapter 48
Bears were deceptive creatures.Standing on two legs, they could easily tower over three meters tall, making them look like slow, lumbering beasts that relied entirely on their strength. That impression disappeared the moment they dropped onto all fours and charged. Their speed could catch even other predators off guard, so players who had never ventured deep into the forest had little chance of reacting in time.Kael was no exception.Fortunately, he was an Archer. The moment a Forest Bear lunged at him, he barely had enough time to react before its massive body reached him. Dressed in his black set from the Monkey Boss, Kael dropped into Joker Form, slipped away from the attack, and fired arrow after arrow as he chased the beast through the trees. His high stats, equipment, and months of building muscle memory had turned him into an opponent the bears were completely unprepared to face.After killing the first bear, Kael hunted several more and repeated the familiar process of prepa
