Chapter 37: Third level
Kael woke up and saw the ceiling of his room. He looked at his hands and saw that it was little.
"It was not a dream," He said in his mind.
He removed the blanket from his body and looked at the window. The sun rose and he immediately went to the comfort room. He washed, then used his clothes for adventuring.
He has a jacket and jogging pants on the inside and has a leather armor that he wore on the outside. He puts his leather bracers on his arms and a pair of leather boots on his feet.
He sharpened his sword with a maintaining kit. Rubbing back and forth the blade on a whetstone. After it, he washed the blade with water then wiped it with a cloth. He sharpened his daggers too and puts oil on the bladed edge. Testing to cut his hair if it was sharp. He succeeded in cutting his hair, signifying that it was sharp enough. He puts the chains on his arms, then prepared for adventuring.
Then he hanged his backpack on his back, then leaves his room.
He checked-out in the receptionist, then leaves the inn. Kael then walks in the streets, then planned to go back to the Hentana cave. He wants to level up more to become stronger.
He exits the gate of the capital, then encompassed the forest of Hentana. The leaves were falling and the way was lonely. He met other adventurers he didn't know. He then saw the crowds gathered in the hub of merchants. Many potions were displayed on the stalls and Kael give it a look.
He saw health potion, stamina potion, mana potion, speed potion, strength potion, defence potion, antidote potion, anti-paralyzing potion, resist elements, resists mental attack.
He bought three health potions, two strength potions, and three stamina potions. He has many potions reserved and was only restocking.
"One silver for a health potion. Two silvers for strength potion. One silver to the stamina potion," Said the merchant.
He gave ten silvers to the merchant, then walks to the entrance.
While he was walking, he saw a man running towards him. He was bloody all over and he was putting his hands on his right shoulder which was bleeding.
"Somebody! Help! My comrades were on the fifth floor and they were surrounded! Help me, please." The man begged.
Kael then tossed him one of his health potions. He then grabbed his hand before saying, "I'll help! Stay here!"
Kael was in a hurry and ignored the mobs. He passed through the kobolds on the first floor. He hurriedly steps the stairs and it produces sounds. Then he jumped to the entrance of the second level.
Toktok!
His feet' sound echoed in the cave. On the second floor, he dashed to the mobs and evaded them. The same on the third floor. On this floor, the enemies were a little bit agile than on the second floor. So Kael had a little bit of difficulty in evading the kobolds.
He sneaked on the third floor to evade the mobs, but he was surrounded instead. Kael then draws his sword from his scabbard as he sees that a fight was inevitable.
"Bring it on!" He shouted.
He dashed in his front, then furiously slashed them. They were equipped with one-handed swords. They were able to block his attacks, then they clashed for a minute.
Tang! Tang! Tang!
He grabbed from his potion belt a strength potion and drank it. The battle continued and he outwits them with tactics. He used feigns, then rapidly increased his speed.
Slash! Feign! Evade!
All were made in succession. He then killed them in a minute. Kael was getting clever and he used his wits this time. Not just to have fun.
He has no time to gather their monster cores, but he has what he needs–it was experience. He needs to hurry if he wants to meet them. The ones who needed help as soon as possible.
Kael then went to the entrance to the fourth floor, but it was blocked by the enemies. The enemies on the second floor also found him on the third floor. He was trapped and sandwiched by two forces at once.
Kael then drank another strength potion and stamina potion. He was still unscathed. So he saves the health potion for the meantime.
He immediately draws his sword. Rushing towards them while he attacked them with force.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kael was furious to the enemies because he needs to save the adventurers. He furiously slashed the enemies and didn't back down.
The enemies on the second floor have a sword and shield and the third-floor mobs were only using swords on their hands. It was their movement that was different.
The second-floor mobs were sluggish but has a decent defence. The third-floor mobs were agile and fast. But it lacks in terms of defence.
Kael was in the race of time. A second late will make a big impact if he can't save a soul at the proper time. He will regret it thus he double-time to defeat the enemies or just pass them through.
He was surrounded by the sword and shield ones, forcing him on killing them. He kicked them with brute strength so the enemies will be scattered. Kael then rapidly slashed the enemies.
Drinking strength potion greatly helped his attack rise. It gave him five points on his strength making it rise to 28. It was a good move for Kael and it proved to be effective in combat.
The enemies' bodies were furiously slashed and their body parts were cut. Making it thrown off as he whips his sword at their direction. Blood splattered from their body. Kael didn't back down and he has the upper hand. He didn't let the chance go when the enemies' morale broke down.
The enemies saw a monster that butchered their kin. He attacked and their shields were shattered. Splashing the splintered woods on their faces. It was only made of wood, not iron.
He slashed his way through, then majestically ended their lives. His potion's effects will not last long so he hurried. His performance will inspire the ones who watched it, but the only viewers were only enemies. It will only result for them to be stricken by dread and horror.
