SSS Awakening: I Can Steal Attributes-Chapter 48: Killing The Hell Cats

With a thought, the Magic Bullet traveled as quick as a real bullet and was shot toward the Hell Cat without warning.

This time, Desther did something different.

The moment he released the Magic Bullet forward, another Magic Bullet quickly formed in front of him and was quickly shot toward the same direction.

BOOM!

BOOM!

The two Magic Bullets arrived and landed one after the other. Hitting squarely on the Hell Cat’s head.

Perhaps due to the impact of the two Magic Bullets, the Hell Cat was propelled backward a meter away.

Coupled with the injury it had sustained since earlier, the Hell Cat finally succumbed to its last breath.

The notification flashed across Desther’s eyes, but he had no time to inspect it yet.

The next moment, the remaining Hell Cat, which had already arrived not far from.

From the looks of it, this particular Hell Cat was much quicker compared to the other one. It also used a skill, allowing it to quickly close in on Desther.

Fortunately, Desther did not let his guard down toward it.

With his enhanced senses, he was able to monitor it for a period of time while dealing with the other Hell Cat.

However, he underestimated its burst of speed and its determination to attack him.

The moment he turned, the Hell Cat was already merely one meter away from him.

For such a large creature, though, a distance of one meter might as well be equal to zero.

The Hell Cat’s paw enlarged between Desther’s eyes.

However, although he was flustered for a bit, Desther was able to recover immediately and finally reacted at the last second.

It was a good thing that Desther distributed his recently gained attributes; else, he would surely not be able to react to such a quick and decisive strike.

The debuff caused by the Ultimate Thief talent also greatly helped, since the Hell Cat’s attack would surely be faster if it still had its original number of attributes.

The Ultimate Thief talent was indeed a broken talent, no matter how he tried to downplay it because of its lacking effects.

Imagine relying solely on your Agility Attribute, and all of a sudden, it suddenly got reduced to merely half.

Not to mention that you would not even notice that you have gone weaker. The moment you decide to attack and notice the difference, it would already be too late, and you would be disoriented.

Such disorientation amidst an intense battle was also fatal.

Disadvantages after disadvantages would show up until you succumbed to your demise.

Such was what happened to the Hell Cat and the previous enemies that Desther fought.

Regarding the Hell Cat’s surprised attack, Desther was able to react at the last second and was able to raise his arm for a block due to its disadvantages and Desther’s advantages.

Still, the Hell Cat was not to be underestimated either.

Desther was able to block its strike, but due to the impact, his body was pushed back a few meters before stopping.

At first, Desther dragged his foot on the ground to forcefully stop the momentum, but thinking of how expensive shoes were nowadays, he decided to leap off the ground and do a backflip to kill the momentum and land softly on the ground instead.

As he landed, Desther felt the pain on his forearm due to the Hell Cat’s attack. However, aside from that, Desther felt nothing else.

His Vitaly was already high enough to withstand such a weak strike.

If he compared the pain he was feeling right now relative to his current attributes, it would be the same feeling as getting hit by a thin measuring stick lightly as a mortal kid.

Although some pain would linger, it would disappear in a few seconds, and he would forget about the pain in a minute or two.

Due to that, he was able to ignore the pain as he looked up to see where the Hell Cat was.

To his surprise, it did not charge out toward him like earlier.

Upon a closer look, Desther realized that blood was still dripping off its eyes.

From the looks of it, even though the first Magic Bullet failed to kill it in one go, it definitely created some drastic damage toward it.

Not wasting any time, Desther condensed another Magic Bullet and shot it toward the weakened Hell Cat.

The same as earlier, he immediately cast another skill, and the two Magic Bullets struck the Hell Cat on the face one after the other.

Two Magic Bullets hitting the target were obviously very lethal. And at this time, the two Magic Bullets even struck the same spot twice in a row. The penetration power increased dramatically.

Even more blood spurted out like a fountain. The Hell Cat’s eyes dimmed for a second before it eventually collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that, Desther immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Shaking off the slight lingering pain on his arm, he decided to check the notification that flashed across his eyes earlier.

[ Marked target eliminated! ]

[ Free Attributes: +4 ]

[ Theft Mark: 4/5 ]

[ Marked target eliminated! ]

[ Free Attributes: +3.5 ]

[ Theft Mark: 5/5 ]

[ Free Attribute: 7.5]

And just like that, Desther earned a total of 7.5 attributes that he could freely allocate however he wants.

This amount was an equivalent to gaining one level and a half.

And speaking of level, Desther stared in delight at the notification that said that he had earned some experience points.

[ You Have Killed a monster- Hell Cat: Experience Points +35% ]

An increase of thirty-five percent from a single monster was indeed a welcomed surprise for Desther.

’It should be because the Hell Cats have a higher level than me,’ he thought to himself as he continued to check the last notification.

Although he was surprised, Desther had actually anticipated this notification to appear as well.

[Magic Bullet Mastery: Beginner —> Intermediate ]

[Effect (New): Shoot a bullet made of mana dealing high magic damage toward a target. Bonus Effect—+20% Magic Damage, Cast Speed +5%. ]
