Why level up in isekai, when you can hack your way through

Chapter 6 - Hacking my way through (Part 1)

I found different monsters in here, like winged serpents, armored lizards, and the worst undead skeletons.

The worst thing was I couldn't receive any bonuses from the undead skeletons and they keep coming back. I asked Athena if there were any traces of Distortion here but she replied no, then I asked if there was any other way to deal with them to which she answered they could only be killed using the Divine (Holy) magic and items.

So it pretty much annoyed me not having any holy skills or attacks.

But I received several defensive stats and skills from the armored lizard and gained levitation skill from the winged serpent. Although the defensive skills don't mean a thing to me still it's better to have them for resistance especially to avoid losing body parts.

Touching something private...

I'm sorry my dear jewels, I'll never let you ever go again... Sob

Moving forward, I tried combining "Shadow Surfing" with "Levitation" but it didn't work as I thought it would.

I could use "Blink" with "Levitation" but "Shadow Surfing" was much faster.

Upon reaching the 10th floor, I finally found the main cause of those undead skeletons and why they kept coming back. The reason was this necromancer called "Undead Sage" Maybe he's the boss of this floor?

It was a pain that he could summon the hundreds of undead skeletons but to his shock, I lured them all and simply trapped and wrapped them using "Silk Manipulation" on all the skeletons at once.

But I guess the skeletons were only phase one, as he enraged all the skeletons break down but then he summoned the undead versions of all the monsters I've previously fought. Huh!? There's even a rotten slime?

Consume!

[Alert: You Have Learned Rot Manipulation] (Grants the ability to control and spread decay, rapidly causing organic matter to decompose and weaken.)

[Alert: You Have Gained Rot Immunity] (Provides complete immunity to the effects of rot, rendering the user impervious to decay and corruption.)

Using cheats in games had already made me addicted to it, but this is real and my life now so even as a cheater I still have my pride and honor to fight bosses on equal grounds.

//((Unless they're unfair.))//

So I asked Athena to turn off "Instant-Kill" and she did. Besides attacking them would be a meaningless waste of time, since sage can summon them again.

I started off with "Blink" and then quickly barraged them with throwing knives to provoke them. My hand would summon a new knife right after throwing another one for it was one of the cheat's perks.

It was hard to get used to but my adrenaline was at its peak so my reflexes didn't hesitate. In short, the undead monsters were provoked, and then I blinked above and threw the Toxic Web Grenades, which would incapacitate them. but I failed because I didn't realize they were truly dead which meant the poison wouldn't work on them nor it would matter.

Not gonna lie but this kind of thing depresses the heck outta me.

Athena, do you have any suggestions?

( ( Yes... use divine magic or items. ) )

But! I don't have any divine magic or ite...!!?

Wait! I DO!!!!!!!!! Why didn't think of it before!?

The "Divine Blessings!" they're definitely Divine! I can use them!!!

Athena!!!! Thank You!!!

Once again, I tried luring all the monsters and laid a trap to immobilize them using "Silk Manipulation", but this time I threw divine blessings at them they disappeared! Right away!
