All Stat Slayer

Hyun-seok learned a new fact.

‘I expected that new types of dungeons would continue to appear… but another new type? We haven’t even entered hard mode yet.’

Thanks to Hyun-seok, Myeong-hoon was able to quickly level up his exploration skill and discovered another hidden dungeon. It seemed that the cycle of repetition continued. Strong and capable slayers grew stronger and weaker slayers faded away. In fact, considering that they could survive just by hunting deer monsters, even weak slayers could earn a living. However, it was a concern that Hyun-seok had when he first started. So, it was becoming a reality in the slayer world that the rich were getting richer and the poor were getting poorer.

Of course, those who belonged to the wealthy class included Hyun-seok and the members of the Inha Guild. They belonged to the top-tier wealthy class.

[Would you like to enter the Training Dungeon? Y/N]

When they heard the notification sound asking if they wanted to enter the Training Dungeon, they wondered what it was. There were apprentice dungeons and normal dungeons. The normal dungeons also included hidden dungeons. But this time, there was a training dungeon. The name wasn’t particularly difficult to understand. It seemed to be a place optimized for training, as the name suggested.

During the recovery period, both H/P and M/P were rapidly replenished, and every area of this dungeon was considered a recovery zone. There were no monsters. Therefore, there was an advantage of being able to use skills more quickly and extensively.

If someone asked where they would use skills without any monsters, Myeong-hoon would reply, “They appeared again. When will this one disappear?”

The stone tablet that appeared in front of Jong-won’s eyes was the target where the skill was being unleashed. Myeong-hoon chuckled and laughed.

“Don’t be surprised. Where else can you level up your skills as fast as here?”

“But it’s already been 10 days. No, it feels like it’s been about 2 weeks. The concept of dates will probably disappear.”

Hong Se-young corrected him from the side.

“Exactly 12 days.”

Min-seo also spoke with a positive expression, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

“We have to raise the skill level by a total of 20 through repeated practice to meet the clear condition. Let’s do our best, everyone.”

Jong-won frowned deeply. On the other hand, Pyeong-hwa remained focused on her training in silence. Pyeong-hwa was currently using both Ratio Heal and Advanced Heal simultaneously. Thanks to Hyun-seok’s help, it was likely that she would upgrade to a higher-level heal next. Currently, Pyeong-hwa was mainly focusing on raising her Ratio Heal.

‘I won’t be able to help my brother with the Advanced Heal anyway.’

That was the reason she was learning Ratio Heal. As mentioned earlier, Ratio Heal was a very inefficient heal. In general slaying, it was rare for H/P to drop below 30%. Except for the time with the Cyclops slaying, it rarely happened. So, in the current situation where slaying was conducted on the premise that H/P would not decrease, Ratio Heal was not needed.

In the end, she succeeded in obtaining the top-tier Ratio Heal. Unlike the range of 0 to 40% for the top-tier Ratio Heal, it filled from 0% to 45%.

‘My immediate goal is to obtain Green-grade Ratio Heal.’

According to Hyun-seok, even the Advanced Heal was considered a heal in Easy Mode standards. So, it was highly likely that the top-tier Ratio Heal, which was comparable to the Advanced Heal, was also a heal in Easy Mode standards.

If she obtained Green-grade Ratio Heal beyond the top-tier, she thought it would be helpful for Hyun-seok. Not only for ordinary slayers, but Hyun-seok rarely had his H/P reduced. If it were to be reduced, it would mean a very dangerous situation. It meant a situation where no one except Hyun-seok could intervene. And in normal circumstances, Pyeong-hwa didn’t need to be present. She was there to prepare for such situations. In such a situation – a dangerous situation where a significant loss of H/P was expected – Ratio Heal would undoubtedly be a great help to Hyun-seok.

The H/P of the stone tablet decreased rapidly. Pyeong-hwa poured her healing skills with all her might.

Min-seo, on the other hand, was a support slayer. But as she entered the normal mode, she started focusing on buff skills. Everyone else no longer paid attention to the combat and recovery fields, where they had invested a little bit.

‘It doesn’t matter since my brother can use the combat and recovery fields as much as he wants. It’s better to contribute in other areas.’

Especially, the skills that caught her attention were skills with the word ‘ratio,’ just like Pyeong-hwa’s skills. When the word ‘ratio’ was used, it meant that the abilities were increased in ‘proportion.’

Currently, with her current skill level, there was only a 0.5% increase effect. So other buffers, except for Min-seo, didn’t invest in skills related to the ‘ratio’ series. If they put a 0.5% buff on a slayer with 1000 power, it would only increase by 5. If they put a 0.1% buff on a slayer with 5000 attack power, it would only increase by 25. It was a skill that was insignificant and currently no one invested in it. Everyone considered it as a useless skill that wouldn’t be of any help until a far-off future.

‘But it would be different when it comes to my brother.’

However, the situation would change if the number was not 1000, but reached 100,000. At that point, the increase would be 500. 500 was not a small number. Assuming that a top-tier slayer had an attack power of 5000, it was equivalent to 1/10 of that power.

‘Surely the ratio will increase.’

And even though it was currently 0.5%, when it becomes 1% or 2%, or even 5%, the increase amount would become tremendous. And as time passed, Hyun-seok’s abilities would increase exponentially. According to Hyun-seok, when the stat was 100, the related abilities would increase by 100%, at 200 it would be 200%, and at 300 it would be 400%. So, it was only a matter of time before the number reached hundreds of thousands.

‘I can’t be of any help to my brother right now. It’s better to focus on learning skills and increasing the ratio.’

Therefore, Min-seo thought that if she learned the ‘ratio’ series buffs like Pyeong-hwa, it would be a great help to Hyun-seok in the future.

On the other hand, Hong Se-young, who revealed herself as a hidden class, honed a slightly unusual skill. It was the skill she used during her first PvP with Hyun-seok. Later, after becoming guild members, they found out that it was an ambush skill utilizing shadows.

She appeared to be a distracting type of slayer, but ultimately, she was closer to a one-shot slayer like Jong-won. She wasn’t as powerful as Jong-won, but she used a poison that ignored defense as a basis and aimed for critical shots by targeting fatal weak points. She was a different concept of a one-shot slayer compared to Jong-won. Of course, as a distracting slayer, she could still play an active role. So, she could be called a multi-class without any problem.

Se-young accurately understood her position.

‘Within the Inha Guild… I have to take on the role of a disruption-type slayer. To be able to strike a fatal blow at a crucial moment… I have no choice but to refine this shadow ambush.’

As for Myeong-hoon, he was diligently honing his exploration skills. He was the first one to achieve results in this dungeon, obtaining the “Superior Exploration” skill. Myeong-hoon’s current position within the Inha Guild was quite unique. He possessed the strength to protect himself while also being able to accumulate achievements relatively easily, considering the difficulty of achievements according to Hyun-seok’s standards. He was a slayer capable of exploring dungeons, which could be considered not just unique but also a significant position.

So far, exploration skill books hadn’t been available on the market. In fact, there were far more skill books that hadn’t been released than those that had. Transitioning from Easy Mode to Normal Mode made acquiring skill books even more challenging. Skill books for support and recovery slayers were relatively more obtainable, but there were no discovered quantities of combat slayers’ skills or trapper skills.

In that sense, Hyun-seok had to blatantly favor Myeong-hoon, at least to some extent. There was no one else besides Myeong-hoon who could replace his role. Fortunately, Myeong-hoon had no intentions of taking advantage of that position. He seemed genuinely satisfied with the fulfillment of exploring dungeons.

As for Yeon-su, he felt a sense of unexpected joy. He had encountered a dungeon that quickly raised his skill level. He was a tanker, responsible for the role of a defensive slayer. Being the leader of the vanguard team during the Cyclops slaying indicated that his abilities were somewhat guaranteed. The stone tablet emitted a green liquid similar to what Hyun-seok had faced with the Giant Turtle, and Yeon-su practiced blocking the liquid using his defense skills.

For Hyun-seok, it wasn’t a situation where he could focus on investing in specific skills. Initially, his skill level was already high, making it difficult to level up due to repetitive practice. Skills that increased in level due to stats. In other words, skills like Battlefield or Recovery Field had reached a point where it was difficult to level them up through repetitive practice. The only skill he could practice was “power control.” Increasing “Impact Control” was difficult because the bounce-back of the stone tablet wasn’t that strong.

‘But this should be enough.’

He was now able to decrease his attack power by 50 percent. With each skill upgrade, the change in the (-) direction was significant.

Additionally, he gained the ability to increase his attack power by 2 percent. As Min-seo had thought, skills related to “ratio” were very helpful for Hyun-seok. Since his absolute values were already high, it made a noticeable difference.
