Chapter 47: STAB

<Mikael POV>

I am in a White Dungeon in Zambales. Inside the Dungeon I met a middle-aged man named Jose, we were doing a Dungeon dive. While we're fighting monsters, I felt odd that Jose was only stabbing his opponents. I never saw him doing anything except that.

"Man why do I feel like you only stab. Don't you know some slash? What about your Skill? "

"Oh, this is my Skill. Stab"

" Eh seriously?  Stab?"

[Jose Pasodaro]

[Level 127]

[SKILL]

[Stab- your stab has high fatality]

He told me about his Skill. I never thought that I will meet a person who had a Skill like this...

"Boss Jose! You're strong! You kill them quickly. Me and my wolf can't fight four monsters simultaneously. "

"Hahaha don't worry, you will be stronger. I'm actually jealous of your Skill. "

Klein and Jose were talking like they knew each other for a long time, though they only met one hour ago. 

Jose laughed and face me. 

"I wanted to ask this, you're not using your Skill. You just your spear to kill them. We're not the same right? Or perhaps your Skill is not an offensive type?"

Jose stared at me. 

"Boss Jose! You'll be surprised if you see my brother's power, I'm actually suspicious that you don't know him. My brother is famous! He's on T.V.! "

Jose scratched his head and laugh. 

"Hahaha, I don't have T.V..."

What? You earned 120 thousand pesos but you don't have television? Come on man, where did you spend the money....? I guess I will buy you one. A 25 inches so that you can see my greatness. 

"We are close to the Boss territory. Can you leave the Boss to me? I need to level up. "

"No problem with that. My job is to close this Portal. If you want, you can take the Boss's drops. "

I waved my hands gesturing him. 

"Thanks a lot, man. "

We entered the territory of the Boss. A Giant Goblin showed his prideful body. A Goblin Champion, it had a longsword and it's watching us aggressively.  

"Leave the Boss to me. "

Jose started to walk in front of the Goblin Champion.  When he reached 20 meters, his rapier started to glow. Within this distance. He stabbed the opponent.

The Champion lifted his weapon but....

*STAB!!!!*

"KKKKRRARRRGGHHHGGGAAG!"

A hole appeared in the chest of the goblin champion. It's a size of a basketball. Liters of blood came out of its body. It tried to attack but it's already late.  It fell on the ground. The Goblin Champion died by just a stab.

"So cool!!"

Klein and Christian were dumbfounded. They thought Jose would fight the Boss head-on and receive some injuries, but they witnessed that he killed it using one stab.

"As expected of a person who survived the Punishment. They have enough experience to kill a Dungeon Boss. "

I said while touching my chin looking like a scholar......

"Hahaha if you meet our Leader, Oliver, you will be more surprised. He can kill this Boss using two of his fingers. "

Oliver? Oliver Johnson, the Rank 3?

 So he stayed in District 2. That giant, I felt the heavy aura when we're inside the Ranking Hall.  His physical strength was stronger than mine which was new to me. 

"Since the Boss is already dead. I guess we will kill the underlings now. We got a deadline that we need to reach. Hey Klein man, help me haha. "

"Yes, Boss! "

I just watched them. The two of them were enough to kill every monster inside this White Dungeon. They can finish this.

"I... I wanna join too! "

Christian used the sword I gave him to fight the goblins. His blood was boiling and he want to have some action time. 

After some hour, they finished exterminating the Monsters. We carried all of the Items and took them outside. We didn't want to waste anything... ehem, it's for Jose okay, I will not take anything. 

The minimum price of a Dungeon Item was around 3,000 pesos, those were the worthless trash. As for the Items that had effects,  it depends on their effects and options. The greater it is the higher the price. 

"Hahaha. Thanks for helping me carry this. I never thought you will give it to me."

"It's fine. Besides someone will pay us.  The government will give us 5 million to close the Portal. Don't worry, I'll give you half. Give me your phone number. I will call you. "

"Hahaha about that, I don't have a phone. I give my earnings to my wife. However, I can give you my Wife's phone number. "

He scratched his head, he was embarrassed about it.

"What about email?"

"Hahaha, I don't know how to use computers. I don't know how to read so I didn't buy a phone hahaha"

I look at his clothes, he's wearing an old sweater, dirty pants, and rubber slippers. I concluded that he's from a lower range family. I sighed, I decided to help this man. 

".... Come with us, we will go to the nearest mall and I'll buy you T.V.... I will buy your children phones too. By the way how many children you have? "

"Hahaha thank you very much, man. I have 11 children gahaha"

"...."

Anyway, I like his attitude, he's honest. How about I'll recruit him to our Guild? I'd ask Kyle first.

Two months have passed. It's October now. Klein was now level 83 and he can fight the Boss of a White Portal. His Wolf was practically invincible. When I first saw its ability to turn smoke, my mind tells me that my brother would be a strong Hunter. 

The Spirit Wolf used his smoke transformation as a defense and offense. If a monster attacks him, he'll turn to smoke and evade.  After returning to his physical form, he'll use his fangs or claw to assault them. 

"Damn overpower"

 I said.

We still had no information about Niña and Lane, which I found sad. Hm? You're asking why I'm sad? No, it's not about Niña. I don't miss her, okay....... Yeah, I'm lying, I wanted to see her. 

I tried to ask Christian to use his connection to find them but Kyle stopped me. He said he wanted Miriam to use her Skill to find them. We would do nothing if she didn't succeed in acquiring her second Skill. 

Miriam... nothing changed about her. She couldn't find them. Her Skill was not even evolving, the only changes were her coverage was now nationwide. 

Yup, she can now use her Clairvoyance nationwide. However, she needs to consume a large quantity of mana to do this. Fortunately, her necklace, the reward she received in the Ranking Hall, gave her the ability to regenerate her mana faster. Her mana wouldn't drain easily. 

Kyle said that Miriam needs around two months to find Niña and Lane. 

As for me, let's just say nothing happened, except I'm Level 186. I killed and trained. Within those months I do nothing but Dungeon clearing and training.

After finishing another Dungeon. Again, Me, Klein, and Christian were inside the Ford Expedition. We're now returning to our house.

*ring ring*

My phone was ringing. I saw that General Lekta is on the line and I answered the phone.

"Hello General? Why are you calling? Do we have another Dungeon again? "

"Mikael where are you? Didn't you see the News?"

"Hm? No, I'm inside the car. We will return to Laguna? "

"The President. He declared in his Press Conference that he wants the Hunters around our country to go to Manila and join the upcoming Hunter's Gathering. "

(Note: You thought Jose was a bad guy? No, he's not...........)
