21 Dungeon Dwelling (1/2)

Shesmu's sword cut through the goblin's neck like a knife through butter. Blood gushed out of the goblin's neck, dyeing Shesmu's face red. However, even while being showered by blood, Shesmu didn't flinch; he looked at the goblin straight in the eyes. The goblin's eyes that showed fear and surprise just a moment ago slowly became lifeless.

For half a second, the goblins that were focused on Leo shifted their attention towards their dead comrade; this lapse of concentration spelled their doom.

Empowered Thrust!

Shesmu's sword flashed green before he thrust at thin air. Dash. While everyone was still confused by Shesmu's weird antics, he vanished from his place and appeared in front of one of the goblins. His sword pierced through the creature's neck, stunning it in place. Shesmu took his sword and the goblin fell on the ground, blood gushing out of its wound.

The group of goblin that was originally made of five turned into that of three in less than a second. The remaining monsters stepped back in fear. The human in front of them became a god of death in their eyes, ready to reap their lives.

Leo understood from earlier experiences that when the difference in strength is too clear, the monsters flee in fear. Now that Shesmu killed close to half of their group in half a second, the remaining goblins were bound to run away. The moment they stepped back half a step, Leo jumped into action.

”Empowered Slash!”

Leo swung his sword towards the goblin in front of him, a green light emanating from it. The creature blocked the slash with its arms, but the sword cut through them. Seeing the plight of their comrade, the other goblins lunged at Leo. However, before they could deal any damage, he Dashed out.

When Leo vanished from before their eyes, the two goblins looked at all directions to see where he escaped to. However, the moment they turned around they were welcomed by an ugly sight: they were surrounded from all directions.

Shesmu who wiped out close to half their team blocked their way from behind. Leo and DepressedRyan who couldn't find an opportunity to assassinate blocked their way from the front. The goblins understood that there was no way out of this situation, so they cried for help.

”Kiri, kiri!”

The moment they opened their mouths, Shesmu's mind tingled at the incoming danger. If they were to let the goblins cry as they want, they will quickly be swarmed by the hordes of goblins.

The party of three ran in synchronization. Each of them activated a skill of their own, and once they reached the goblins, a dance of death took place. Heads and limbs rolled on the ground and the party's exp bar filled a little more, creeping closer towards the next level.

Ding!

Shesmu received a notification. He clicked on the plus button and a message popped up.

Weapon level up!

Weapons really level up fast in the early stages. Just five goblins were enough to bring it to level 2, that's fast. Hopefully, this sword has a good growth rate.

Shesmu quickly checked out his sword's new stats.
