Chapter 14 - Awakening The 2nd INNATE EXCLUSIVE SKILL Of <LOOT>
I activated <LOOT> while looking at the 5 dead Grey Wolves. I didn't even select the Skills and let my Innate Ability <LOOT> to choose automatically.

__________________
Without further thought, I activated <INVERSE>, and my <LOOTED STATUS> tab appeared in front of me. The word 'Secondary' got changed into 'Primary.'
The Looted Stats started automatically increasing my Attributes in <Looted Status>. Within a split second, all the Attributes in <LOOTED STATUS> were increased by 38* Stats each, and with that came a tsunami of pain that was beyond my comprehension.
[By adding 190 Stats at once, your body will implode.]
[Due to your Unique Innate Ability, <LOOT>, you are invulnerable to all changes caused by Looted Stats. Still, the Pain caused by a sudden increase in Stats is inevitable.]
The pain was so high that my mind got blank, and all there left was Pain, but the only exception was the notifications as they kept on appearing in my mind.
[Lv.24<Physical Pain Resistance> ➝ Lv.25<Physical Pain Resistance>]
[Lv.25<Physical Pain Resistance>: Resistance towards Physical pain increases by 25%.]
.....
[Lv.49<Physical Pain Resistance> ➝ Lv.50<Physical Pain Resistance>]
[Lv.50<Physical Pain Resistance>: Resistance towards Physical pain increases by 50%.]
My <Physical Pain Resistance> kept on increasing till it reached Lv.50, and once it reached there, all my pain started to decrease, and it soon vanished.
After the pain vanished, the first thing I noticed was my body that was completely healed, along with the burnt mark on my right shoulder that I got in the fight against Lv.10 Poisonous Spider.
The second thing was that my hair's colour turned into Silver, and the third thing was the steam that kept on being emitted from my body from the sudden increase of my Attributes.
The final one was that the addition of Stats such as 3^ in Strength, 5^ in Agility, and 5° in Endurance from Spirit Items and Achievement Titles were not added in the Attributes <LOOTED STATUS> and looked at the transparent congratulatory notifications that appeared.
[Congratulations! You are the 895th Tier-1 Existence in the entire Universe to stay alive after adding more than 100 Stats at once.]
[Due to causing a Universe Level Achievement, You will receive a random grade reward that will be most useful to you at the present moment. The Grade of the reward depends on your Luck Attribute.]
[Congratulations! You have received a Support type Skill, <Harmony> (Rare Grade).]
[<Harmony>: As long as all the 5 main Attributes maintain an equilibrium in the number of Stats, you will be able to adjust to the increased stats instantly until the increased amount of Stats doesn't exceed that of Tier-3.]
All the information in notifications was transmitted to my mind within a split second. If it weren't for <LOOT> 's unique property that made me Invulnerable to all changes caused by Looted Stats, I would have been dead right then itself.
I found a new transparent notification that indicated the time left for the <INVERSE> mode to end to the top right corner of my vision.
[<INVERSE> Duration: 00:05:59 (hr:min:sec)]
Since my level was 6, the duration for me to maintain <INVERSE> mode was 6 minutes.
I looked around me. Except for Dire Wind Wolf, all other wolves slowly distanced themselves from me and looked at me warily.
The Dire Wind Wolf shot a transparent wind blade at me to test the waters, but those wind blades felt relatively slow to me.
I dodged to the side, and in the next instance, I got hit by a tree that was 10 meters beside me; a part of the tree trunk was crushed, and several cracks formed on it.
I was shocked at such an increase in power, and due to that, the lack of control over my body was clearly visible.
With that, I immediately activated my first Rare Grade Skill <Harmony>.
Just as I activated <Harmony>, a strange sense of calm appeared within me. The control over my increased Attributes in <LOOTED STATUS> increased instantly and reached a point of perfect balance.
Only then was I able to properly understand the improvements in my body. With my increased Spirit Attribute, all of my 5 senses and memory retention, and thought processing power increased by 3.8 fold.
Even my Time perception was increased by 3.8 fold. It caused an illusion of time flowing slowly, but what actually happened was that I experienced 3.8 seconds for every standard second.
My body brimmed with newfound power and vitality. I looked at the Dire Wind Wolf and inwardly thought with a cold smile, 'Since you had almost hunted me to death, I will show you how it feels to be hunted!'.
I knew that with my current stats and the extreme control over my body that I gained from <Harmony>, I could defeat the Tier-2 Wolf even without the <Rusted Short Sword>.
But that would be a narrow victory and what I wanted was not merely to defeat it but to crush it head-on.
So, Instead of directly attacking the Tier-2 Wolf, I planned to kill the Tier-1 Wolves around it and then use <LOOT> on them to increase my Attributes in <LOOTED STATUS> even more.
I turned my attention towards the closest Grey Wolf and leapt towards it while exerting full capacity of <Hydraulic Leap>.
