Death… And Me

Chapter 434 - Bulkier

Chapter 434 - Bulkier


In the Alchemist Guild, everyone paid attention to the bulkier Green-Spotted Fox from Roan. After all, everyone else"s foxes were still sleeping or haven"t even been applied with medicinal paste yet. Roan was literally starting the strength test hours ahead of the second contender.


Oligan saw the a.s.sistants activating the formations around the dummy, which would test the fox"s attack power. At first, none of them thought that they would need it so soon, so it was deactivated just a moment ago, waiting for when the tests were supposed to really start.


"Alright. We have trained the foxes to attack the dummy in the same way, all the time. However, there are bound to be small variations between each attack. After all, foxes are also living beings. That being said, we will take the average number of ten a.s.saults."


One of the spectators couldn"t help but ask.


"Senior Oligan, what is the average attack power that you expect to see in this test?"


Oligan looked back at Werxa, who nodded at him. There wasn"t really an issue telling this much.


"Usually, we would expect an increase of 200 to 250 points on average. Of course, the foxes only benefit from this much from the medicinal paste because they were weak to start with. Otherwise, you wouldn"t see their power increasing by 50% just like that."


"What about the number necessary to reach the top 100?"


"That changes from time to time, but I believe that any fox that achieves an average of 850 attack points should be able to put themselves in the top 100. If we"re lucky, we might see a few alchemists getting close to 1000 points or maybe surpa.s.s it. Of course, it will be nigh impossible to see such a thing."


Everyone nodded. That made things a lot clearer for the test they were about to see.


Oligan then waved at the a.s.sistants before saying.


"You can start."


One of the trainers then came forward before giving a command to Roan"s Green-Spotted Fox. As soon as it heard the trainer"s voice, its eyes became sharp as it pounced at the dummy.


*Rawr!*


The fox accelerated from a previously agreed point and attacked it. It was a simple bite attack like any other canine would do. Still, both the acceleration and the bite would be different now that the medicine had an effect. In less than an instant, a chunk of the dummy disappeared, leaving a big gap behind.


"What?!"


Everyone immediately heard the trainer"s surprised voice. However, no one knew if this was a good thing or not. After all, none of the spectators had seen the tests against these dummies before. Only when the points came out did they finally understand the difference.


-Attack Power: 1434-


Unsurprisingly, the room went silent. Didn"t Oligan just say that it would be hard to see anyone surpa.s.sing 1000 points? That didn"t seem to be the case just now.


Oligan"s mouth twitched as everyone stared at him.


"Why are you looking at me? I also didn"t expect to see this, you know?"


Of course, on the surface, he didn"t lose his calm.


"Ahem... Someone go there and verify the measurement formation. There might be something wrong with it."


The Formation Masters invited by the Alchemist Guild nodded and went forward to check. Even they thought that they might have done something wrong to it.


Roan, who was observing everything, then said.


"There"s no problem with the formation. That was the average result that I already expected. This fox was only a Stage One Demon Beast, a pretty weak one at that. That"s why the medicinal paste had such a superb effect."


Oligan and the others were taken aback by Roan"s words. How could he be sure that it would be this high? Does it really help to cook your fox that much?


Still, Oligan quickly came back to himself and shook his head in response.


"Unfortunately, others might think you said that to take advantage of an error in the formation. We still need to verify it."


Well, even he had his doubts that the formation might really have a problem. After all, it was near a threefold increase in power. That was a huge deal.


Roan shrugged his shoulders and didn"t say anything else after that. He was just trying to save his time.


As the Formation Masters checked the measurement formation, a few other alchemists finished preparing their pastes. Lita Xue and Cluhe Sol were two of them. They had been hearing the commotion so far. Unfortunately for them, they couldn"t pay attention to what was happening since they were focused on their medicinal pastes.


Eventually, they finished applying the paste on their foxes before putting them to sleep as well. Only then did they have the time to ask what was happening.


"Over 1400? Seriously?"


Lita Xue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Roan.


"So he wasn"t really killing his fox."


Cluhe Sol felt even more indignant.


"How can his fox be well and kicking? He literally cooked it with the Medicinal Paste."


After some time, the Formation Masters looked back at Oligan before saying.


"There are no mistakes. The measurement formation is working perfectly fine."


Obligan nodded as he looked at the foxes" trainers.


"Bring another Green-Spotted Fox here. As long as its power is around 400 and 600, then the formation is really working fine."


The trainers didn"t waste time and quickly brought not only one but three foxes. Not long after, they had the foxes attack the dummy.


-Attack Power: 502-


-Attack Power: 534-


-Attack Power: 483-


Oligan and the others finally began to accept that Roan"s fox was really that strong. After all, those new foxes left some marks on the dummy but were not able to bite a chunk of it like Roan"s fox.


"Continue. Roan"s fox still has nine more attacks to do so that we can get its average attack power."


The trainer nodded and immediately sent it to attack the dummy.


*Rawr!*


-Attack Power: 1613-


"It... increased again?"


Roan nodded as he said.


"The fox wasn"t used to its new power, so it was obvious that it was somewhat clumsy during the first attack."


Everyone couldn"t help but think.


"Then...just how strong can it get?"
