Looking at the durability he sighed, the short sword is already battered and chipped at couple of places making it unbalanced and inaccurate.
Honestly thought it is already considered good in his situation, he can't give it proper maintenance due to the monsters nearby and it irritates him seeing his friend gift reaching this kind of condition.
Shaking his head he continue venturing deeper into the cavern, he already spent too much time here but since his last upgrade he has confirmed that these creature aren't a threat anymore.
Of course his Lv is still too low to actually analyze them but the scattered corpses behind him should be proof enough.
As he keep moving and killing, he begins to wonder how the host will be, this is a dungeon after all so there's got to be one.
Maybe it'll be a dinosaur or maybe it's a chimera or maybe it could be some kinda ancient being. Thinking about it bring a smile to his face as he chop the serpent in his way, he is looking forward to return the ”hospitality” he received.
After exploring for a while there is only one road left that he hadn't map yet in the entire maze like cavern system, returning to his drop spot he found something that left his mouth agape. A black 10 meter tall crystal obelisk.
”The hell is this thing?!” He said before walking up to the strange obelisk.
Circling it, he found nothing useful but the fact that it is engraved with many weird patterns and runes.
Standing in front of it Vayne raise his hand and touch the obelisk, the moment he make contact the obelisk let out a blinding shine.

”Hehehe by now that pest must have perished, about time anyway for I am behind schedule already.” A young man in Black said to himself as he stare off into space.
”There, now that stupid hole on the ground have a use for every floor, an elevator.” Nodding to himself, he seems proud.
”Hmm? A new user, that's fast.” He mumbled with a puzzled look and start moving his hand aimlessly in the air, soon he froze then quickly stood up and storm out of the core room.
”That shitty thing is still alive, useless animals! Just like the book says, if you want something right then do it yourself!”
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
The port left him with questions and irritations but that was all, after a short break he direct to his exploration towards the last corridor.
There are some reason why he haven't take this route, one there's a weird threatening presence ahead and two...
”Psssstt!”
”Ssshhaaa!”
There's these guys, unlike other places where there's only one or two, this route have three to four serpents.
Sigh... After going around hunting everything and another upgrade there's nothing to be worried about going melee against them but... Yeah... I'd rather not get eaten again.
Sending a couple of wind cutters the serpents excellently become dice and sliced meat.
Level up!
With those kills he finally reaches Lv17 but rather than happy he felt remorseful after all with the rise of Lv he will pay higher death penalty and killing them from a distance doesn't give him any RP, there's still many limitations and possibilities for the skills and the system but there is not enough information to figure it out.
