Chapter 176

The tournament for the nation bracket ended. The champion was Russia, the Japanese team that defeated Mikael lost in the semifinals, they only got fourth place. The last battle was actually amazing, Russia and Italy showed their strength and clashed with the determination to dominate. 

Still, Russia won. 

They would get thousands of Skill Books, and their national strength would further increase. Many countries were eyeing them, they understood what would happen if Russia received the Skill Books, their country would surely get stronger. The neighboring countries were seriously watching them now.

...

*Swooosh!*

A powerful gust of wind shook the place, the trees bent kneeling in the presence of a man.

Mikael was in a Dungeon and Furrneka was with him. They got this Violet Portal just for them, yup they had the monopoly of this Dungeon, perhaps you were asking who gave it to them.  Chairman Renato generously gave this Dungeon to Mikael to spent some of his time, he did lose but he showed his courage. The Chairman was proud of him... Although the real story was a bit straight to the point. The Chairman asked Mikael what he wanted, then Mikael said that he wanted to slaughter monsters. Mikael's fighting instinct was getting rusty and he wanted to sharpen it. He believed this was the reason why he lost.

Chairman Renato laughed at his request so he bought this Violet Portal just for him, by the way, Mikael was the one who said that he wanted a Violet one. 

When Mikael and Furrneka entered the Portal, they saw the scenery. The magnificent sea shone upon them, together with the blue sky, the  Dungeon was a paradise. The Dungeon was a seaside, and the monsters were all Lizard-type. Mikael scanned the surrounding, he looked behind and saw the towering trees, he felt the presence of the monsters growling at them, all of them were reptiles.

"What a great luck!!!"

Mikael grinned, his Title, Dragon Slayer, had a buff when fighting reptiles! The Dragon Slayer makes the reptiles weak, they would lose their courage and fear would eat them.

"Okay let's start!"

Truth be told, Mikael was a bit frustrated that he lost the tournament. Still, he moved forward. It's awful remembering the bad memories, that's what he learned. He had to become stronger and overcome them, physically and mentally.

"Nyah!"

Furrneka dashed and left him at the entrance. The woman was excited to kill the lizards, her blood was boiling for some action. She called her Spirit and the snake crawled out of her body, she cast an explosion!

Mikael chuckled as he watched her vigorously killing, he summoned his Lightning Void Spear and activated his Title, golden scales spread around his shoulders. He started his slaughter too, he understood that he found a good place to level up. Since the Chairman gave him a gift, he would gladly accept it. 

"Haha, it's odd why there are many lizards around a seashore but who cares, I will kill them anyway."

The lizards saw them and they made their movements too. They roared and charged with the intention of killing. 

………

……

…

Mikael stretched his body after finishing the Dungeon. He and Furrneka left the Dungeon and the Portal slowly disappeared. There were no more monsters so the Portal closed itself. They got out of the Portal and the forest greeted them. 

Mikael checked his status, he wanted to know his level.

He gained 3 levels, yup this was the only increase he had after raiding a Dungeon with a partner. Still, he was happy, gaining three levels was a hard thing to do. Usually, he had to spend a week or two raiding a Violet Portal, however this time because of his Title he easily killed the monsters. He found that his Title was a great thing to have, if he used it on the strong lizard-type monsters, he could kill them quickly. Moreover, Mikael opened another secret, one of the hidden abilities of his 4th Skill manifested. He realized it after the tournament, the power to become lightning. 

"I don't have to be in a near-death situation to activate it. I can become a bolt of lightning whenever I want, this is cool."

Furrneka was holding a Book and she was disappointed, her ears lowered looking lifeless. They both killed the Dungeon Boss and she took a large piece of meat and put it in an expanded box. However, the great thing that excited her was the Item drops. She wanted to get a good Item for Mikael, she promised that no matter what Item the Boss dropped, she would give it to Mikael. She wanted to appease him, she knew that Mikael was sad because of the tournament. 

However, what she got was a Skill Book! A goddamn Skill Book! How could she give this to Mikael?! Mikael didn't need a Skill Book, he can't use this! She decided to throw it in the garbage bin. She strongly slammed the book in the bin which caused the bin to rattle. 

"Um, Furrneka why did you put the Skill Book in the trash can?"

Mikael narrowed his eyes, oblivious to Furrneka's behavior. 

"Mikael I will give you a better one, you don't need this thing."

Furrneka promised that she would find a good Item for Mikael, Skill Book was useless to him. However, Mikael went to the trash can and inserted the Skill Book in his Inventories. He smiled at Furrneka, they spent a year together and he knew how Furrneka thinks.

"Thank you Furrneka. I know that you are trying to make me happy by giving me a good gift, still, I think I'm okay with this Book. Hehe, this book cost millions in the market."

"…Un."

The cat nodded, she accepted his words. But she was still determined to give him a present. She pouted and started thinking about what's the best thing to give. Mikael got close to Furrneka and touched her cheeks while she was busy thinking. Furrneka purred and regained her senses, his touch was so good, making her dizzy. His lips met hers and Furrneka felt a strong surge of electricity. After that, Mikael lightly kissed her again. 

"Mikael if you want this book, then maybe I can give you several more? I found that there are many books in the lebrary?"

She innocently said. She didn't know the difference between a Skill book and a normal book because she didn't care about them. Mikael chuckled and give a peck.

"Furrneka it's called library, and thank you. Although I don't want many books, this is enough for me."

"Okay- nyah"

Mikael pounced on her, Furrneka was surprised but she accepted his advance. They were in a place close to the Amazon and looked like it was a good place to make some memories.

There were no people who would disturb them. The only sounds were the animals that living their lives and the trees scraping because of wind. 

"Wanna spend the night here?"

Mikael recommended, nature gave him many ideas. 

"Yes, I like this place, our planet had numerous forests just like this."

Furrneka recalled her home and became sad but Mikael's touch eased her.

"Oh, so you mean this brings back memories?"

Mikael asked while embracing her.

"Yes."

"Then I will give you more memories!"
