Cosmic Patron System: 100X Return on Every Reward
Chapter 42 - 0 | It’s Hammer Time
[Dread Fist: You are interesting human, it’s my first time seeing someone from low rank dimension to pack such power behind a punch.]
[You have completed the challenge.]
[You have earned 100,000 Cosmic coins] (Perk 1)
[Congratulations! You have created a Rare rank skill, Sonic Breaker.]
Reyansh glanced at the notification and proceeded to exit the dungeon with a smile on his face.
"Ashwood Hollow," Reyansh stated as he sat in the back of the cab.
The driver just nodded and stepped onto the accelerator while Reyansh used Patron Insight on the Dread Fist.
A panel opened with information, it read:
[Name: Drextrino Bigfist] (Dread Fist)
[Race: Grey Titan]
[Age: 456 years]
[Gender: Male]
[Intention: Amused]
[Dimension: A12 (Titanomachia, Apex Dimension)]
Reyansh brows raised, ’So he is from Apex dimension too. Well, better.’
He then checked the viewers count at the bottom.
[Viewers: 476]
’Almost halfway, 6 more dungeons, I should reach 1000 viewers today.’ He mentally commented.
"So guys, as I said earlier, if you have any questions, feel free to ask." He stated again.
[Dread Fist: How did your Core reached C rank when you just started three days ago?]
’Straight to the point,’ he internally noted.
"I had mentioned earlier, I used an Epic rank Hunter’s Pack." He answered.
’I feel like there should be something like manager for channels but the main problem is trust.’
’There should be absolute trust between manager and channel owner to function properly, especially in my case. Ahh...no point in wallowing over it at the moment.’ He shook off his thoughts.
Some other viewers also asked a few questions but they were mostly repeated about his strength, guild joining etc.
’I didn’t see Sardina_Rohaj yet, she used to ask meaningful question though sometimes a bit too close to home,’ he remarked internally.
Amidst the questions and his thoughts, the cab screeched to a stop.
"A full minute early, boss," driver spoke after long time.
"Well, you are lucky man. Keep the count," Reyansh replied as he exited the cab, walking towards the grave.
After going through clearance with a warning about renewing his ID card, he entered the gate.
Just as his feet landed on the ground, smell of burning wood assaulted his nostrils as Reyansh raised his senses while he checked the surroundings.
"You guys may see some resemblance with the Emberfall Chasm but there are few key differences."
[Ellise: Yeah, this looks more like a burnt forest.]
[Fiery_Redina: I hope monsters are different too.]
"They are, Miss Redina," he answered when a buzzing sound reached his ears. He became alert as he sensed four monsters approaching him.
’Should I use the sword again? I will copy some combat talent after this run but until then I only have my fists and weapons.’ He wondered.
’But regularly using sword and fist will make this long stream boring,’ The buzzing sound intensified as he pondered which weapon to use.
[Daoist_kun: Bro, take out your weapon. I am just guessing from the environment but punching them won’t be a good idea.]
[Ellise: I think so too.]
[Raisena_Forge: Take out your sword man, even I can feel the monster closing in.]
Four Cinder Beetles, half the size of a human, flew straight at silently standing Reyansh.
[Dread Fist: Human?]
Just when the beetles were about to sink their jaws into Reyansh, he moved as a double headed hammer appeared in his right hand.
He swung the hammer, hitting nearest Beetle at its abdomen, cracking it open with sheer strength, the three beetles instinctively backed away.
"It’s Hammer time," Reyansh stated as he swung the hammer over his shoulder, eyeing three beetles floating in front of him.
[Dread Fist: Hahaha...this human.]
[Dread Fist has subscribed to your channel.]
[Cat_Empress: So he has brute strength too along with that elegance. I knew I would like him, Nya!]
Reyansh ignored all the notification for the moment as he ran straight towards them. The beetles sensing their death, tried to scatter away.
However, using the tree trunk as stepping pad, he jumped reaching the height of the beetles. Holding the blue handle hammer, he brought down the hammer with both hand.
The second beetle’s head was dislodged from its body as it turned to paste as soon it touched the ground while rest of its body broke like a stiff rock.
The other two flew in opposite direction at a speed greater than they attacked.
"Oh, no you don’t," Reyansh spoke as he swung his arm around and aimed the hammer at fleeing beetle.
The handle of the hammer remained in his hand while the head of the hammer flew straight, homing towards the beetle as an extended chain connected the head to the tip of the handle.
[Red Falcon has donated 1000 Cosmic coins for your ingenuity.]
[You have obtained 100,000 Cosmic coins] (Perk 1)
[Ellise: Never a boring moment with him.]
The hammer struck the beetle, causing it to fall down. Reyansh also landed but he didn’t retract the hammer instead swung it with his full strength, aiming the last beetle.
The hammer sped towards the beetle as the chain increased its reach further. The hammer struck the beetle, flattening it against the burnt tree, killing it instantly.
Reyansh walked towards the fallen beetle as the hammer head started retracting. Just as he reached the fallen beetle trying to move away, the head retracted completely, returning hammer to its original form.
Reyansh swung it immediately without a thought, pulverizing the head into a meat paste.
[Fiery_Redina: Why am I feeling bad for the monsters?]
[Raisena_Forge: You are not alone in this, my sympathies are with them too. Anyway, smash them all.]
[Raisena_Forge has issued a challenge for an unspecified amount.]
[Challenge: 100 Cosmic coins for every monster you smash.]
Reyansh noticed the message as he sprinted on charred ground amidst the blackened trees.
"It will increase the time required to clear the dungeon," he stopped for a second, then spoke, "but I will oblige."
"And yeah, it is thrilling to smash them," he added.
Reyansh expanded his senses a bit further, trying to cover as much area without straining himself. Now his goal was not just to clear the dungeon but kill as many as possible in that time.
As he moved forward, he encountered multiple groups of Cinder beetles.
For efficiency, he first disabled their ability to fly by damaging their wings then proceeded to crushing their heads, turning the ground into field of meat paste.
Though Reyansh was keeping the count, he asked anyway, "Is anyone keeping the count?"
[Daoist_kun: I am, 14 till now after the challenge.]
[Raisena_Forge: Yeah, don’t worry about the count. Just SMASH!]
Reyansh kept moving forward when he suddenly noticed claw marks on the trees and complete absence of Cinder Beetles, he gripped the hammer tight.
A minute deeper in forest, he encountered the elite monster of this dungeon, Flarecoat Bear.
The monster was slightly bigger than Reyansh with appearance of a bear and fire covered paws.
Just as it saw in his territory, it thumped its chest as a declaration of war and charged at him.
Reyansh smiled seeing this, he aimed the hammer at the charging bear and spoke, "Don’t worry, you will get a tap too."
