Standing amidst a pile of ruins, Su Mu continued gathering the drops from this boss.
This boss was called the Ruins Golem.
A massive creature that disguised itself as a building.
The ruins Su Mu stood on, several meters wide, was actually the creature's body.
Although it tried to lure prey by pretending to be a small ruin and then ambush any visitors,
Su Mu had map alerts, so the ruin couldn't sneak attack him at all.
Instead, wielding Blackblade, Su Mu charged up and delivered a heavy slash, chopping off the ruin's left leg.
The tricky part was that the Ruins Golem's defense was ridiculously high, and it wasn't undead.
Unless hitting a critical spot, Demonbreaker Crossbow couldn't deal much damage.
Fortunately, after Su Mu cut off one leg, even if it tried to stand and move, its speed was greatly reduced.
After grinding for more than ten minutes, the three-story-tall Ruins Golem finally collapsed.
"In this world, even buildings can move?"
"This world really gets stranger and stranger."
Using the flames on the ruins, Su Mu roasted some Crimson Boar King meat on the spot to restore some stamina.
Though the Ruins Golem wasn't strong, it was extremely tough, and Su Mu had no counter for it.
Su Mu, who usually had counters for other enemies, felt a bit checked by this boss.
If not for the sharpness of the Soulforged Blackblade Moshara and his own Level 4 status, it might have been dangerous.
"Little Blackblade, do you want to eat?"
Su Mu looked at Little Blackblade Spirit Entity staring at the Crimson Boar King meat, waving it in front of her.
Though unsure if the Spirit Entity could eat, if she could, Su Mu would give her some.
Little Blackblade shook her head and said, "Master, I don't need these things."
"I just like the blood essence on them."
"Blood essence?"
Su Mu glanced at her and asked, "You mean you like drinking blood?"
Little Blackblade replied, "Not only that, Master."
"Blood, pure life energy, or Energy Stones—these are my food."
Energy Stones too?
Su Mu increasingly felt Little Blackblade was a money-sucking monster.
The reason Blackblade needed so many Energy Stones to upgrade was probably because it was actually 'eating' them.
Su Mu tried giving Little Blackblade some Crimson Boar King blood first.
She immediately grabbed the bucket edge and started drinking, then lay down on Su Mu's shoulder after a few sips.
"So, Spirit Entities really can eat."
Su Mu looked at the still plentiful fresh blood without complaining.
He quickly made a simple roasting rack from wooden planks and grilled the Crimson Boar King meat.
The World Blessing effect lasted eight minutes, and no monsters were nearby, so Su Mu was in no rush.
After roasting the meat, while the World Blessing effect from the boss kill was still active, Su Mu collected the boss drops.
[Energy Stone] x700
A level 15 boss dropped 700 Energy Stones boosted by the World Blessing. Not bad at all. Su Mu's Energy Stone reserves were approaching 2,000 now.
[Barrier Breaker Skill Book] x2
[Quality: Rare]
[Usage: Can be applied to suitable weapons, skill-attachable equipment, and even buildings.]
[Also, the skill book can be used on the Shelter Master himself.]
[Effect: Unleashes a shockwave equivalent to a wall collision. Higher skill level means greater power.]
"A skill book?"
Su Mu was surprised.
This was the first time he got skill books from drops; the previous bosses and Necromancer Blackblade never dropped any.
This suggested skill books were very rare.
But adding a skill?
It felt like it conflicted with the Secondary Entry system.
Just as he thought so, the system popped up with an explanation:
[Honored Host, skill books and Secondary Entries are similar but can coexist.]
[However, if the skill and Secondary Entry are of the same type, they will merge, leaving only one Secondary Entry.]
Su Mu nodded at the explanation.
If skills and Secondary Entries can coexist, it was easier to manage.
If later skill books dropped but all Secondary Entry slots were full, it would be a loss for him.
"With the blessing's help, two skill books dropped."
"If the skill book can be used on myself, I'll try one first."
Su Mu decisively used a skill book on himself.
Soon, in his personal list, the skill [Barrier Breaker] appeared.
"Let me test it."
Not wanting his freshly made roasting rack to disappear, Su Mu stepped outside the ruins and punched the ground with the new skill.
Instantly, the ground caved in, a huge shockwave scattering the surrounding wasteland, and a massive crater appeared before Su Mu.
Little Blackblade on Su Mu's shoulder jumped in surprise.
Looking at the several-meter-wide mark on the wasteland, she asked,
"Master, since when did you have such strong attack power?"
