Looking at the countless monsters in the area, Victor finally understood why he had been having the feeling of being watched since he got here. It turns out that these monsters had been stalking him.
From their names, he could guess that they weren’t monsters with physical bodies, and physical damage probably wouldn’t do any damage to them, so the only offense was to use magical attacks. The other thing was the fact that he had yet to be attacked by these monsters even though they literally covered the entire place. Maybe it was because he was a fellow monster? Victor was not sure, since monsters still attacked other monsters.
Another reason he thought was the reason for them not attacking came from their names. A monster with such a name would probably be a night creature, and if they took damage or were disadvantaged during day time with the sun up, it was clear that they wouldn’t attack and just waited for the sun to go down..
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo test his theory, Victor brought out Amadon and ordered him to enter one of the buildings. Sure enough, Victor was quick to find out that these Shadow Ghost Hounds were not at all gentle and calm creatures, as the moment Amadon entered the building, he was viciously attacked by two of these creatures. It seemed they were using a kind of stealth skill, but he could still follow a glimpse of their bodies and movements. He immediately called back Amadon as he had tested his theory, and just kept moving.
The experience points a level twenty would offer was small, but if he was to consider the number of these creatures, than perhaps it would be worth it.
To achieve this minor goal, Victor had to wait for night to reach before these monsters would gain the balls to come out.
When the sun had begun to set, the Shadow Ghost Hounds became more restless by the minute. From what Victor could tell from conducting some more experiments, he found out something important. The Shadow Ghost Hounds were not some kind of creatures with spiritual forms, so this meant that they could still be harmed with physical attacks. It was possible that the Shadow Ghost Hounds had a stealth skill, as that was the only way for them to remain unseen, that or their bodies were naturally like that, as a part of their ability.
It would be very draining to keep using a skill for so long, unless it was a passive skill. It was more liable that this was their innate ability. The point was that there was no point where they became completely visible, just from time to time and when they got hit.
Just before the sun went down, Victor brought out his legion, all except Larry, and made them spread out into the city. This was a good chance for all of them to level up and grow stronger, so he was ready to keep them awake throughout the night. If possible, he would like them to reap the maximum benefit and clear as many of these Shadow Ghost Hounds as possible.
Once night came, Victor and his legion began their confrontation with the Shadow Ghost Hounds, and so far, it was going in Victor’s favour. For each Shadow Ghost Hound that he killed, he got 28,000exp to 32,000exp. Surprisingly, the Shadow Ghost Hound didn’t seem to finish as they kept coming and swarming Victor and his legion.
Konda was able to cause wide area physical attacks, and was able to deal with the monsters a bit, but was steadily getting swarmed from time to time. His poison attacks weren’t working well against the monsters, so this only other way was to use his superior level to overpower them. Similar to Konda, Arac was also a physical oriented fighter that didn’t have many magic kind of abilities, or skills. But unlike Konda, Arac was not struggling with the Shadow Ghost Hounds at all, as his skill steel thread proved to be very effective.

Amadon also didn’t find it hard, as his hands were extremely sharp and made mince meat of the Shadow Ghost Hounds. The ones who found it simplest to deal with the monsters were Gurok and Pyro. Both of them had AOE skills that made dealing with the monsters easy, so they had little difficulties compared to the others. As for Victor, he was doing quite well, too well, and was gaining a steady stream of experience points.
A few hours into the night, Victor had already taken out plenty of the Shadow Ghost Hounds, and their number seemed to be diminishing as time went by, but the fact that they could still show up in packs only showed how much they were in number.
Victor was having it easy fighting the monsters, as they were low level and apart from their stealth and ability to warp through nearby shadows, they still had to attack with their bodies by biting and clawing their target. Some time later, Victor noticed that another presence had appeared in the area, and it seemed to be stronger than the Shadow Ghost Hounds that they had been facing up until now. It didn’t seem strong enough to cause him to worry at all about its presence, so he ignored it for the time.
After several minutes had passed, the monster finally made it to where Victor was, and for one thing, it turned out to be a kind of monster Victor had been looking for, one with wings which would give him the ability to fly.
