Novel Full Chapter 121 - Floor 4 Part 1
He could summon beasts of any particular type integrated with the summon, or could summon a form of the beast that was mixed with all the types of beasts integrated.
In most cases, it was better for the summon to have all the characteristics of all the different types of beasts integrated, but in some situations, such as if Adam wanted a small Canidae Beast, he could summon only a singular type of the beast.
It required a lot of mental control to decide what specific type he wanted to summon, but the process was the same thing and it required him to seep his consciousness into the beastpedia within his mind and chose what he wanted to summon.
He also realised that the special trait of the beast was dictated by the Base Beast and in the future, Adam had to be careful when deciding what beast to make the base beast of his summons as he couldn't change his mind afterwards.
He was lucky with the useful special trait that he had gotten for the Goblin Summon, the Agamidae Summon and the Scorpionoidea Summon, but for the rest of his summons, their special traits were quite ordinary, basic and useless.
He slightly regretted accepting them as his base beasts for those beast types that could have had much higher potential, but at least he could summon specific beast types individually and he knew there was no point thinking about it too much as there was nothing he could do about it.
It also made him wonder what other possibilities he was capable of with his Unique Skill, but he was satisfied with how well he could use the Unique Skill so far and was more focused on his own strength.
Floor 4 was completely different and the environment was a marshland that had many swamps and other damp areas that were quite hard to move through.
The first stage was a surprising one and it was the first time that he had fought a beast in the dungeon that didn't seem like an animal he could find in reality, other than the goblin beasts that he had faced on Floor 0.
All the other beasts that he had faced were similar or identical to animals that he could find in reality and only some of them were different in terms of size.
He knew that when compared to animals in reality, the beasts that he was facing currently were much stronger and much more ferocious, but he was yet to battle against something so unusual and unexpected.
The first beasts he had to face were giant frog beasts, that were the same height as a person and were much larger and heavier altogether. Although their size didn't directly increase their power and stats, the additional size and weight could be seen as an advantage.
They could attack with their long tongues, that they could shoot out as a projectile and strike Adam from a distance, and although he was shocked by the unusual beast, he was focused and didn't want to be caught off guard, like he had been previously.
Adam had gained the weapon from the Boss Beast of Floor 3, which was the first weapon that he had acquired that had a special effect.
It had a numbing effect on the enemy and each slash would cause the enemy to feel more numb, until they reached the point of paralysis and could no longer move.
Against such unusual beasts, the Numbing Spear made it much easier for him to deal with them and with him spending all his additional stat points on speed, he had found it quite easy to avoid the Tongue Projectiles from the giant frog beasts.
The Numbing Spear was D Ranked Weapon and had no direct effects on Adam's body and didn't effect his stats. However, the weapon itself had very high durability and its numbing effect against opponents was very useful.
Being able to restrict the movements of an enemy was a massive advantage, and when used on himself in small amounts, that wouldn't affect his movement speed or damage his body, it could reduce the amount of pain that he was feeling.
The numbing effect could be used positively and could be used to reduce the amount of pain that he was feeling, however after being used in large amounts, one's body would begin to feel sluggish, slow and hard to move, restricted the opponent's movement speed.
It took Adam quite a few days to complete Stage 1 of Floor 4, but avoiding the Tongue Projectiles that the Giant Frog Beasts would shoot at him, had helped him to train his reflexes and was made easier with his enhanced speed.
He had decided that he would collect the giant swamp frog as the Base Beast of his Ranidae Summon as the Special Trait that it had, which was Tongue Projectile, was quite unique and powerful and he didn't have a high expectation for other possible Ranidae beasts anyway.
Stage 2 was also quite a hard stage and the beasts were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, along with the required EXP continuously increasing and making it harder for Adam to increase in LVL.
Adam had come to realise that when the beasts in the dungeon had a higher intelligence stat, it wouldn't make it so that they had better energy control or mental reasoning and capacity, but was to do with how sensitive their senses were and the distance at which they would be able to sense Adam from.
They were all hostile towards Adam, because that is how the system had somehow programmed them, and the higher their Intelligence, the wider the range their senses would be able to reach and the further away they would be able to sense Adam from.
But luckily as Adam went up in floors, they were becoming larger and it was giving him more space to battle and escape if he needed to, while his speed was also increasing along with his capabilities, allowing him to cover the larger distances.
