Chương 82: Third Floor 2

The kobold hisses and takes a defensive stance. I decide to engage it first, lunging forward with my spear. Just as I close the distance, the slime on its shoulder launches a small rock at me. I twist my body, dodging the projectile, but it catches me off guard with the rapid speed of the projectile. The kobold uses this momentary distraction to slash at my side. My armor absorbs most of the impact, but I can feel the force behind the blow.

"Why is a slime so good at spitting rocks, though?!" I mutter, stepping back to reassess the situation and my best course of action.

The firefly buzzes around erratically, its light growing brighter. Suddenly, it releases a blinding flash. I instinctively close my eyes and raise my arm to shield myself, but the brilliance still leaves me momentarily dazzled. I hear the kobold rushing in and manage to parry its attack at the last second, feeling the scrape of its blade against my spear.
