13 Slayer (1/2)
A shrieking sound echoed inside the underground sewer.
Kiro and Aldin were alarmed, staring at the pitch-black pathway, a dark brown 3-foot long worm came out from the huge pile of dirt. Glancing at the worn, Kiro stared at it with disgust.
”What is that thing,” Kiro said. ”It is a ground worm, they usually live in an underground sewer, It was a low-grade monster. Let me handle it, I want to see the fruition of my training.” Aldin said. Heading straight toward the ground worm.
'Swoosh'
A piercing sound of the Iron shovel could be heard, hitting directly at the ground worm head.
”Phew that was easy,” He said while glancing at the dead ground worm. Aldin was about to head back to Kiro's direction, and suddenly another ground worm appeared.
”Eeek!” The ground worm charged toward Aldin's direction, he was caught off guard, letting the ground worm bite his arm. ”Argh!” Aldin shouted in pain, grabbing the three-foot-long ground worm, while he threw it to the ground.
”Hey! Aldin are you alright?” Kiro shouted in alarm, rushing toward Aldin's direction.
”I'm fine, it's just a minor wound.” He said. ”Anyway, Kiro can handle that monster, I'll patch up my wounds, lest I make Alyva worry.”
”Okay, be careful alright, there might be some more ground worm lurking around this huge pile of dirt,” Kiro said, as he uses his shovel to smash the ground worm head, but before he could. The ground worm squeals loudly.
”Eeek!~” The ground worm cried as if It was trying to call someone. A moment later, a group of the ground worm appeared before him, Kiro shivered in disgust, he could not help to have cold goosebumps all over his body.
”Gulp.” Kiro swallowed his dry saliva while staring at the numerous ground worms endlessly popping up from the pile of dirty. ”Hey, Aldin are you done?” He asked while worriedly looking at his back, but what Kiro saw. Aldin who was supposed to mend his wounds was now lying on the ground.
”Aldin what happened to you!” Kiro shouted in fright, rushing toward his direction. ”Master used Appraisal Skill on him, he seemed to be paralyzed.” Fixie voices echoed inside Kiro's head, after hearing her voice, Kiro's rationality came back.
”[Appraisal].” He mumbles the keyword.

”Urgh.” Kiro groans in pain. He was still not used to the feeling of activating the [Appraisal] skill.
”So what should I do now?” Kiro asked.”Master, I think the best way to handle this situation is to Master slay all the ground worms, plus, Master might even level up after slaying all of the ground worms, so go for it Master~ Fixie will cheer on you! Fighting!” Fixie said with a teasing voice, she knows how disgusted Kiro is to the ground worm. ”Can't I just carry that guy and leave this place?”
”No! Definitely not! Master should know that you can't avoid all of those ground worms while carrying a person, even though Master has a poison resistance, it was still Lv.1, so the best course of action is to Master face the enemy head-on!” Fixie said, while deep inside she is chuckling for Kiro's misfortune. She's been sleeping for so long that the first amusement she got in a long while is her Master's misfortune.
”No... No way,” Kiro said while looking at the army of ground worms that keeps popping up nonstop.
Even though he said those words, Kiro is left with no choice but to confront the legion of the ground worm. He could not simply abandon Aldin here just because he was disgusted by the worms.
