My Yandere Girlfriend Hiding in the Dungeon Kills Me Over and Over Again

Chapter 10 Verification

Around the 340th attempt.

I chose <Enhanced Physical Abilities> in front of the treasure chest.

“Grrrooooaaaaarrrrrr!”

The Armored Bear Bugbears always let out their battle cry as they appeared. Maybe because I’d heard it so many times, it was ingrained in my mind.

First, Armored Bear Bugbear A and Armored Bear Bugbear B charged at me from the left and right, flanking me.

This attack was predictable every time. This was the best timing to crouch and dodge their attack. I continued rolling forward while kicking the ground at the same time.

Thanks to the <Enhanced Physical Abilities> skill, I could jump slightly higher than an average person. As a result, there was Armored Bear Bugbear C right in front of me. I did a backflip over its head with my hands and followed through by landing with a powerful kick to Armored Bear Bugbear D.

“Gaaah!”

Armored Bear Bugbear D, which I had kicked, let out a groan, but it didn’t deal significant damage.

I landed on the ground, spun my right leg around its axis while using my left leg, causing Armored Bear Bugbear D to fall.

I wanted to follow up on the fallen Armored Bear Bugbear D, but Armored Bear Bugbear C and Armored Bear Bugbear E were attacking, so I slid low in the direction of Armored Bear Bugbear E while running, allowing me to pass between the legs of Armored Bear Bugbear E as it made a slight jump.

“All right, I survived for 20 seconds.”

I mentally cheered myself on. It must have been because I’d fought so many times. I could read the movements of the monsters to some extent, which allowed me to react accordingly.

I was surrounded by Armored Bear Bugbear A, Armored Bear Bugbear B, and Armored Bear Bugbear F, all of whom were attacking me.

In response, I kicked the ground and jumped. “Alright, the timing was perfect.” I landed on the outstretched arm of Armored Bear Bugbear B.

Continuing from there, I put strength into my fist and slammed it into Armored Bear Bugbear B’s face.

Thud, the impact ran through.

I had definitely delivered a heavy blow.

“Ah.”

The moment I landed, Armored Bear Bugbear F grabbed my body.

Then, it threw me against the wall.

Crack, the sound of my skull breaking could be heard.

I was already lifeless.

I’ve learned something after a few battles. It’s about the difference between “Physical Mastery” and ” Enhanced Physical Abilities.”

First, here’s an explanation of “Physical Mastery” that went something like this:

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Skill: Physical MasteryLevel 1

When not wielding a weapon or when using a short-reach weapon, the effect is activated.

You gain the talent for Physical Mastery.

Partially enhances physical abilities.

Next, let’s list the explanation for “Enhanced Physical Abilities”:

▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽▽

Skill: Enhanced Physical Abilities Level 1

Enhances overall physical abilities.

△△△△△△△△△△△△△△△

Both descriptions mention enhancing physical abilities, but when placed side by side, you can see a subtle difference. The difference lies in the fact that the description for ” Physical Mastery” mentions enhancing ‘a part’ of physical abilities, while there’s no such wording in the case of ” Enhanced Physical Abilities.”

So, in ” Enhanced Physical Abilities,” you can enhance physical abilities evenly, whereas in ” Physical Mastery,” only a part of physical abilities is enhanced.

Now, what specifically gets enhanced with ” Physical Mastery” becomes a matter of curiosity after several battles. However, it’s become clear to some extent:

With “Enhanced Physical Abilities,” strength, endurance, agility, and stamina are enhanced, while with ” Physical Mastery,” only strength and agility are enhanced.

In other words, “Physical Mastery” does not enhance endurance and stamina.

Thanks to that, when I chose ” Enhanced Physical Abilities ” and went into battle, I noticed a difference. During ” Physical Mastery,” my consciousness immediately blacked out when attacked, but with ” Enhanced Physical Abilities,” my consciousness often lasted for a few seconds, even when attacked.

Well, it didn’t change the fact that I could still be killed with a single blow.

Now, what should I prioritize to defeat the ten Armored Bear Bugbears? First, I don’t need endurance. Even if my endurance increases a bit, I’ll still likely die from a single blow.

As for stamina and agility, that’s a dilemma. With more stamina, I can prolong my fighting time. Being a weak attacker, I need to prepare for a drawn-out battle. Agility can also help increase my chances of dodging attacks, so having it won’t hurt.

But, it’s quite clear that what I need most right now is strength. When I chose “Acceleration” and went into battle, my weakest point became evident: my low attack power. No matter how much I attack, if my base attack power is low, I can’t defeat the Armored Bear Bugbears.

So, when I thought about it, which of “Physical Mastery ” and “Enhanced Physical Abilities ” increases strength more? It’s clear that I should choose the one that enhances strength the most. However, after battling a few times, it seemed like there wasn’t a significant difference in terms of strength between these two.

Therefore, it seems like there won’t be a big difference no matter which one I choose.

And, after this analysis, I realized there’s another choice for me.

“Maybe ‘Strength Enhancement’ is a good option too.”

In front of the treasure chest, I muttered while looking at the skill list.

“Strength Enhancement” is ranked D. Honestly, I hadn’t paid much attention to it due to its D rank. However, if this skill offers a significantly greater enhancement to strength compared to “Physical Mastery ” or “Enhanced Physical Abilities,” it might be worth a try.

So, for that reason, I decided to choose “Strength Enhancement.”
