LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 9: Robbed
"Great job"
Karl walked toward's them and healed their injuries, as he disregard their seemingly annoyed gaze.
They looted all the corpse and found 5 skills orb and 3 equipment box, as the group was satisfied with the loot.
Karl however was with Krass gathering all the dog corpse together, trying to summon more netherhound as Krass was really helpful.
Seeing the sight, Leah asked "Hey Karl, What are you doing with all this corpse"
Drawn by Leah voiced the group looked at Karl.
"Nothing much, just gonna use a skill that I haven't had used since the start of the apocalypse" Kart statement surprised the group as they thought that Karl already showed all of his skills but apparently not.
Suddenly a giant magic circle appeared below to corpse, suprising the group. They watch the corpse disintegrate with bated breath.
Then 12 puppies appeared as Karl bonded them to him, after bonding he picked them up and place them in a box with holes one-by-one.
"I didn't expect you to have a summoning skill, Boss." Matt said looking at the puppies.
"Of course I do, Krass is also one of my summon" Karl looked at Matt as if he was stupid for not figuring it out.
Matt saw Karl gaze towards him, reason him "I thought you have a tamer skill."
Karl decided to let it go, as he said "We should get back"
The group agreed and grabbed their bags and prepared to leave.
"Boss is this what you usually face every time you go out" Matt asked as they walked.
Hearing Matt's question and thought about the time when was moving alone till he arrived here. Karl face went solemn as he realized that the zombie's or beast are becoming stronger as well.
"No, they are growing strong as well" Karl said with a serious tone, upon hearing Karl's answer they immediately clenched there fist determined to grow stronger.

The group saw the view of the gymnasium, their face frowned seeing that the door of the gymnasium was broken down seeing the broken door they rushed in.
They entered the place only to see the place empty, devoid of human and their rations.
Karl looked around and spotted Christian dead body in a corner with several cuts.
"We've been raided" Karl informed the as he concluded his thought, the group hearing upon hearing Karl's thought were infuriated.
"But, are there really people capable of doing this terrible act" Leah ask with a doubtful face.
"We'll if piercing Andrew's foot is terrible, and seeing his dead body isn't here, he probably defected to the raiders as well as the others" Karl said his thought.
"How about we go back to the pharmacy since we don't any food here, and cook that giant cat" Patrick said.
"But what should we do about those people who killed Christian and stole our stuff" Matt said, clearly angry.
"We don't even know where they are" Patrick argued.
"But-"
"Well head back, since Patrick has a point, with no food clearly going back to the pharmacy is the rational choice" Karl interjected as Matt head hung low clearly dissatisfied with the decision.
'Although they are now stronger their, but they clearly didn't adapted with the new lawless world' Karl thought.
The group leaved the gymnasium and headed back to the pharmacy.
* * *
The group arrived back at the pharmacy and took the giant cat along the way.
They settled at the second floor, with Karl casting the rejuvenation totem.
The group gathered in a circle with four white box, one green box, and three white orb.
The group opened all the reward and put them at the floor thinking how to distribute them.
[Windscimitar: This lightweight, curved blade gleams with a faint silvery-blue sheen, and its edge is sharp and precise. The hilt is wrapped in simple leather, providing a comfortable grip for swift, flowing strikes.
+ 10 agility
+ Boost wind related skills by 5%]
[ Assassin's dirk: This small, simple blade is made of sturdy steel with a straight edge, designed for quick, precise thrusts. The hilt is wrapped in basic leather for a secure grip..
Chance to poison enemies on hit.]
[Coward's ring: Created by a cowardly grand mage. Teleport the user five meters away from his original spot, with 3 uses for a day.
(3/3) uses remaining.]
[Sturdy helmet: This simple helmet is made of sturdy iron, designed to provide basic protection without extra weight or embellishment.
+ 10 Defense]
[Protective ring: This simple silver ring features a smooth band with a small, unadorned gemstone at its center.
+ 1 all stats
+ 3 defense]
"Is defense a hidden stat?" Patrick said.
"Maybe since we the system doesn't show it to us" Karl agreed
"Forget about that, anyway I'll take the sword while Matt takes the dagger. Leah interjected, as the group nodded on what she said.
"I will take the [coward's ring], since I'm not really good at close combat' Karl said as the group agreed, leaving only the helmet and the other ring.
" Trish can have the ring, while I'll take the helmet" Patrick sighing as he looked at Trish clearly who was silent, knowing she was afraid of voicing her thought.
"Now onto the skills"
[Strike: increase the next attack power by 30%]
[Aura shield: Fortify the body with mana]
[Wind barrier: Conjure the wind to surround yourself in a protective layer]
"Obviously Patrick will have [aura shield] since he'll be tank, while Trish can [strike] for not getting to pick the equipment. Which now leaves the [wind barrier]" Karl said, which Leah and Matt argued who should have the skill.
In the end they tried to settle it by rock, paper, scissors which Leah won.
"Now that is over anyone know how to gut this" Karl pointed to the a cat.
"N-no"
"No"
"No"
"No"
Karl lips twitch hearing the group answer, as he said " since, we don't know how to gut it well just eats it legs, Krass and the puppies can have the rest"
Hearing the Karl's word the group nodded as the group move Patrick cut the legs while Matt was lifting a fire, while Karl was resting on a sofa with the women near him as they chatted.
