Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

[The Huntress of the Moon wonders why you don't talk much.]

Looking at the new set of notifications, Alex just sighed inwardly.

He had unmuted the huntress of the moon, A.K.A. Artemis, because, from what he could tell, the arrow he got was possible because she pulled some strings.

Well, it was what he could understand from what the certain god told him later on. The strange thing, however, was the fact that he could sense truth in her voice.

For some reason, his lie detector was working on her.

But even if he didn't feel like her words were the truth...

He didn't have a problem; it was not like having another god join the fray would do him any bad—they were all strong.

He was going to have to deal with people like Karina with some major god backing them up, and he was sure that he wouldn't be able to convince himself to let them all live—he was going to kill many of them.

If he did that, however, then he would incur the wrath of the gods who had them as their followers.

Now, he wasn't strong enough to fight against the gods; Alex knew that, and he had no doubt that if the gods really wanted to risk it all, then they might even be able to kill him.

So, he needed someone on his side as well.

He had to get some gods ready to fight for him—ready to protect him from other gods.

So, letting these gods stay as they were wasn't really a problem.

Yes, he had a certain god, someone strong enough to scare the other gods away with just her presence, but he didn't know when she would leave him alone.

What if she left him to his demise at the moment he needed her?

With so many other gods, he would at least have a backup in case the certain god didn't do anything.

Right now, however, he was more focused on the room in front of him.

It was a level 50+ room, with just 1 beast lying around in the large room, and although he was the one who wanted to do this, he was hesitating now.

He had seen people—much weaker than him—entering level 40+ rooms, and coming out alive with an artifact or relic, but the problem was that he had also seen people never coming out after entering.

He knew that he was stronger than them, and he also knew that his title gave him a higher advantage against the beasts with higher stats, but still...

Why was he trying to hit the level 50+ room, anyway?

Couldn't he just keep clearing the level 20+ rooms and gather more artifacts? Wouldn't it be easier?

To answer that question, one must know that in the last three hours, Alex had tried entering different rooms with different types of beasts, and after clearing around 10 rooms, Alex found something out...

'The higher the difficulty level, the higher the reward.'

Alex, staring at the door of the level 50+ room, muttered inwardly, closing his eyes, and taking a deep breath.

The high-level rooms had better rewards—Alex found this out after he cleared 2 level 30+ rooms.

The rewards he got from those two rooms were higher in quality; a Piece of Xuanwu's Shell was the best example.

So, Alex wanted to try out what he could get from the level 50+ room.

*Step*

As he opened his eyes, he stepped forward, a determined light shining in his eyes, and his expression grim.

*Click*

His heart almost stopped beating for a second when he heard the clicking of the doorknob resounding throughout the castle; it was as if even the castle was surprised that someone was opening this gate.

His eyes peered into the dark room, and the moment his gaze landed on the beast inside, his eyes quivered.

It was a beast—a very large beast—with the body of an elephant, white-colored fur covering its white skin, and four pairs of large tusks protruding out of its mouth.

Just looking at it was enough to make one think how big that beast would be if it stood up straight, as right now when it was sleeping, it had a height of 2 meters.

The aura that the beast gave out, unlike other beasts, who had wild feelings, had a serene feeling; it was as if the beast had everything reigned in.

*Step**Step*...

Alex, who could see the beast sound asleep, didn't waste any time and rushed into the room.

He knew the dangers he might face, but it was what it was; if he wanted rewards worth looking at, he needed to take risks—he had realized this a while back.

He hurriedly went toward the drawer closest to him, and with a cautious and slow motion, he pulled the handle.

*Slide*

The sliding sound of the drawer caused his body to tremble, his gaze snapping toward the beast.

*Huff*

The beast huffed, a frown on its head, as if annoyed by something, its eyes still closed.

*Grip*

This action, however, caused Alex to grip the bow hanging diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist, gritting his teeth to stop himself from doing anything stupid.

*Huff*

It was only when the beast, after huffing once again, had his frown loosened did Alex's body relax a bit.

He could see the beast's tail, which was thin and long, unlike normal elephants, waving around as if in a happy dream, causing his gaze to move back toward the drawer.

*Slide*

He pulled the drawer out with a single move, as he knew that if the beast were to wake up, then it would've already gotten up, but it didn't, giving Alex a bit more confidence, so with another glance at the beast, Alex got into the work he was supposed to do.

With his heart beating at a very fast rate, Alex kept moving from one drawer to another, hoping to find something, only to meet disappointment.

No matter how hard he searched or no matter what he did, he just couldn't find anything related to artifacts or relics.

It was then that he noticed something...

'Is that a chest..?'

His eyes grew wide as he saw that chest.

'It must have got the item, but...'

The chest was next to the beast, kept close to its thin, long tail waving around.

*Inhale**Exhale*

He took a deep breath, stepping closer to the beast, gritting his teeth, as he knew that there was only one last chest left to look at; once he had checked it, whether he got something or not, he was going to directly rush out of the room.

*Step**Step*...

He slowly moved closer to the beast, walking on his toes, trying to take the lowest sound possible by him, but it was then that things changed.

*Woosh*

Just as he was about to reach the chest, he heard the sound of wind whistling, and the next thing he saw was a thin, long tail right in front of him.
