BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 - Unlucky
"I wish I still had my previous ability, now I can\'t do anything to win this," Yuki thought to himself.
He suddenly remembered the specifications of his ability. "[Specifications: Gives a large boost to the overall damage of the golden sword he was holding]". This meant that even if he couldn\'t summon the spatial blades, the damage his golden sword would cause was huge. Especially since his ability amplifications are higher because he\'s a level 2 player.
[Open inventory]
Yuki placed "Lucky Sword" back into his inventory and took out "Fallen angel of hell". While he would miss the doubling effect the sword had, Yuki knew that his other sword was the only way he could survive this.
"I don\'t care if I\'m worthy to wield you anymore! The fact remains that if I die here, it won\'t matter anymore," Yuki spoke to his sword.
The sword felt a bit heavy but Yuki was fine with it. Just as the 3 merged zombie wolves leaped in to attack for the second time, Yuki brought his sword over his head and sliced one of them in half. However, in exchange, the other two bit his legs.
[+100 exp]
Yuki felt the agonizing pain as their sharp teeth pierced into his skin. He wanted to scream but knew it\'s too foolish to yell in case there were other wolves nearby. He didn\'t want to fight anymore of them right now, especially in the condition he was in now.
Before the 2 wolves could bite him again, he spun his sword around and with all the anger he could muster, Yuki sunk his blade into the wolf that was biting onto his right leg.
[+100 exp]
"You like torturing people don\'t you?" Yuki asked the wolf, biting on his left leg.
"How about you experience it yourself," Yuki said as he sunk his blade into the back of the wolf then onto the ground in turn pinning the wolf. This way, the zombified wolf would feel the pain but wouldn\'t die.
Yuki crawled to a tree and put his back against it while he healed his leg. First he poured an "anti status effect" potion on them just in case the wolf\'s teeth had special effects such as paralysis or poison. Once he had done that, Yuki tore off the sleeves of his sweater and used them as makeshift bandages.
For the next 2 hours he lay there waiting for his body to recover as he watched the wolf he pinned to the ground struggle to escape. Every once in a while, Yuki would take a dagger from his inventory and throw them at the wolf to provoke it. It didn\'t really matter to Yuki since he already had plenty of daggers and they were cheap to purchase as well. After he had bought potions for his dungeon journey, he spent every last bit of silver he had on daggers. Yuki was a bit over-prepared for this quest.
Once Yuki\'s leg finally fully healed, he prepared himself to finish this stage without any more breaks. He walked up to the zombified wolf and kicked it in the face for making Yuki waste his time. As it tried to fight back, Yuki grabbed the hilt of his sword and dragged it to the ground which slowly sliced the wolf in half until it was finally dead.

[Level 2: 37100/40000]
Now Yuki didn\'t care what he had to do. He had the resolve to kill anyone if it meant that he could get through this stage of the dungeon.
"Honestly though, this isn\'t fair. How do I kill monsters that are this strong and only get the same exp as the small fry I used to kill in the forest beside the city," Yuki thought to himself.
He walked for some time before finally seeing something that looked like a gateway.
"Is this really it? Maybe I was too harsh in judging this stage," Yuki said out loud.
As he passed through the gate the smile on his face faded and resentment was the only thing he felt.
"Why is my luck so horrible. I can\'t have a single good thing happen to me!" He yelled.
In front of him were 92 zombified grey wolves.
He sighed and began rushing towards them. Before they could reach him, Yuki jumped high into the air and took out as many daggers as he could from his inventory before he threw them at the wolves on the ground. Before he also landed, he threw his sword down at the ground, killing a wolf while also creating a small crater.
When he landed on the ground, Yuki pulled out "Lucky Sword" and began the massacre of the wolves. While dual wielding his blades, Yuki killed the zombified wolves while also blocking their attacks. He could barely move, it was taking all his strength to stay awake as his body automatically fought against the wolves.
"Why are there so many of them! All of these worthless animals keep getting in my way!" Yuki said as he used both his blades to slice the head off the last zombified wolf left.
"Honestly, what a pain. At least I didn\'t give them a chance to merge. God knows what would\'ve happened to me if I had to face 41 merged zombie wolves and still only get the same exp that I would\'ve gotten from a regular wolf," Yuki continued to rant to himself.
[Lucky Sword kills: 23 zombified wolves]
[+2300 exp X 2 = 4600 exp]
[Fallen angel of hell kills: 69 zombified wolves]
[+6900 exp]
[Total exp: 11500]
[LEVEL UP]
[Player: Yuki Kaito]
[Level 3: 8600/50000]
Yuki once again had leveled up. The sensation of power flowed within his blood. While it wasn\'t as strong as when he had reached level 2, it was still a decent amount. The stat upgrade after level 2 after moderate. The only reason there is such a large increase when one reaches level 2 is because it is proof that the person has accepted their new life in this world.
