Chapter 175: Dust Defeats Dungeon Beasts

His major concern was Snow Wyvern, for whom he prepared special effects.

The existence of Workshop helped him go beyond the conventional alchemy and chemistry, and enabled him to incorporate commands to inanimate objects. There were not only commands, but also specific and conditional mechanisms. It was one of such mechanisms that anchored the Swon Wyvern in place.

The potential of sedation that was attributed to the dust was above the normal range. Since the objective was to knock out large monsters like Minotaurs and Safrogors, it was necessary. But the potential was further increased to a dangerous level where the Wyverns could not counter.

The dust also concealed a hidden mechanism. When in contact with a cold substance, it would act as a coagulant and would instantly solidify, whether it was gaseous or liquid. Not only that it solidifies, but the triggering of this mechanism would emit a penetrating scent that is exponentially disorienting and would make even the strongest unconscious.

The Snow Wyvern soon calmed down with sluggishness, while resisting the urge to drop unconscious. Its unbelievably high stamina was opposing the scent of the dust, but the minster soon admitted defeat. Falling on the floor unconscious, the beast tried to move for one last time, before completely slipping into unconsciousness.

'Finally!'

Lee witnessed the whole process, and saw how it progressed by each second. He exclaimed in his mind as he saw the Snow Wyvern finally admitting defeat. With the mini-map functioning, Lee moved forward silently, and reached the entrance of the cave.

The dust did not attack him, but when it brushed against his nose, its sedative scent slowly increased his Sedative Immunity. WIthin no time, the immunity has reached Medium grade. It continued to climb at a rate of 3 points per second.

Glancing around, the Safrogors and Minotaurs peacefully slumbered on the ground. The adult Safrogors snored and it amused Lee. It sounded more like a momentary auditory disturbance of a diesel engine.

The Ghouls were agile, but were easily knocked out by the dust, which was meant for beings larger than them. Thus, a whiff of the dust was enough to subside their activities.

*grr…*

The Snow Wyvern growled in its slumber. Though it was asleep, it unconsciously let out an expression of anger. It raised its head, but its eyes were closed shut. It was then that Lee took a closer look at its peculiar horn.

It had a square cross section and was twisted downward and lines next to its lower jaw. A very dark shade of blue on the horns were not visibly menacing and was more like a simple headgear. Lee quickly moved to the beast's vicinity and used View on it.

'I can't believe that this monster is unconscious.'

[If it were not, then you would have died several times over.]

Lee immediately opened the Workshop and designed some incense sticks. Before producing the incense sticks, he gave a specific scent to it which can calm the troubled minds, and offers a peaceful and deep sleep to anyone who is already asleep. Those who are awake would continue to stay awake after inhaling this scent, and would have a boost in focus.

A total of 96 Essence was paid before materialising three of such incenses. Lee lit them with his Fire affinity and stuck them on the wall near to the Snow Wyvern. The translucent smoke rose up into the air and filled the atmosphere with its scent. The beast showed significant changes after it had inhaled the scent.

[Now it is in peace, and not a sliver of trouble is in its mind. Good work.]

Lee nodded at D's words and moved closer to the Wyvern. It was sleeping in a weird posture, as it fell on the ground after being under the influence of the sedative. Thus it had its wings spread apart and legs exposing its claws. The knitted brow was released and the beast was completely calm!

Lee stood right next to its head, and touched its snout. The rough texture was concealed by a layer of mild frost. It was the frost that gave the beast a pale blue complexion. Under the decorated layer, it was denim blue colour.

Lee pressed his palm onto the skin of the beast, and initiated the taming process. A bright strand of consciousness extended towards the beast's inner world. But, the beast was yet to calm down.

A violent repulsion made Lee take a few steps back. Lee was unable to see what had made him retreat, but he assumed that the beast was yet to settle down its heart. Finding that the Snow Wyvern is not easily tameable, and is not yet ready to be tamed, Lee walked towards the other wyverns.

This was the stat report of the largest and oldest wyvern among the other 12 beasts which was an air affinity beast. Through the report, Lee became aware of the wyverns' elemental affinity. When comparing it with the Snow Wyvern, a number of questions arose in Lee's mind.

[The difference between greater and lesser versions of wyverns are simple. When a wyvern becomes greater in their elemental affinity, it acquires the characteristic colour of the element. As you can see, there are faint shades of red, grey, blue, green and brown among them twelve. They represent Fire, Metal, Water, Nature and Earth respectively.

Their elemental affinity can promptly influence their attributes. Air affinity wyverns are faster, water affinity wyverns are more intelligent, fire affinity wyverns are more durable and hence more healthier, and the earth element wyverns are powerful in their strikes. The properties of metal elements are unknown to me.]

As soon as D explained, Lee had opened the Workshop and manufactured ten of the soothing scented incense sticks. Placing them in appropriate positions, the scent began to take effect.
