2F Entry (2)

Unlike in the dedicated store where there was only Rain, or in the dark passageway where it was empty, there were countless stimuli that bothered me the moment I entered 2F.

There were countless signs of life within my range. I took these signs all in as I entered and felt dizzy immediately.

I have to stay calm. I have to orient myself and melt in with the surroundings.

My Detection has risen to Lv 7, so I couldn’t be swayed by this situation. I went forward without hesitation, erasing my footsteps and my presence, including my mana.

Not only did I have an Intermediate Surprise, but I also had a new skill called Fairy Tale.

Now, the Fairy Tale is only at Beginner Lv 1, but it is also considered an advanced skill as written on the notification window description.

The closest sign of life within my 30-meter detection range was bigger yet harder to detect than a Goblin Warrior.

It looks bad.

A huge wolf appeared within my view, walking in a path ahead of me, standing about 2 meters tall.

I was surprised a little. This is the Werewolf? This isn’t the top-class yet?

It was on an entirely different dimension than a Goblin Warrior or a Goblin Knight.

The level difference was too much!

I was filled with a desire to complain, but facing this monster confirmed that the level difference between the monsters increased by floor level.

Moreover, I was confident that I could fight the Werewolf.

However, if I hadn’t trained for my Surprise skill, I would have struggled immediately, just after I entered the 2F.

My goblin life seemed to be at a permanent hard mode.

I hid my presence and walked to him. Slowly, I walked into his line of sight.

He looked at my direction momentarily but found nothing and turned his way again.

I smiled inside.

My Lower Level Surprise skill, combined with Fairy Tale, allows me to be unseen.

I quickened my pace with one goal – his exposed throat!

Now!

The instant I revealed myself, the wolf immediately saw me and tried to swipe with his giant paw, but my Colossal Sword was quicker and stabbed his neck deeply.

I used my Lower Power Attack Lv. 7.

“Kaaaaaaa!”

The surprise attack succeeded, and the impact was enormous! The Werewolf, with a deep wound on his neck, screamed and rolled the floor, staining his entire body with red blood.

My body stiffened a little after using the skill, but I recovered before the wolf got up. I shot a black lightning bolt immediately. The lightning bolt hit the wound and spread through his whole body, and for a moment, the body of the wolf was petrified.

It was an opportunity not to be missed. I rushed at him and used a power attack once more. My Blood Colossal Sword slashed the already bleeding throat, making more blood spurt in the air.

“Ow ow!”

Suddenly, the wolf leaped at me, opening his jaws wide.

I tried to avoid it as soon as I recovered from my stiffness, but his speed exceeded my expectations.

The wolfed moved more agilely than before, desperate to land an attack before he died!

The movement appeared to be a skill. I made an instantaneous decision and blocked the attack with my shoulder.

His fangs snapped powerfully, and in an instant, my armor shattered, and an agonizing pain ran through my body.

“Ugh!”

However, if I step back because of the pain, it would be the last thing I do. I clenched my teeth and swung my sword with my left hand, cutting into his open throat deeper.

This time, I was certain. His life has ended.

[You gained 3,700 experience.]

[You obtained 2 silver 30 bronzes.]

[You obtained werewolf fur.]

My right shoulder was stiff with pain because the wolf managed to attack me as it died. It still hung by its jaws on my shoulder. I read the notification window to distract myself.

The experience reward is more than twice that of a goblin knight.

If so, it was understandable that it was this strong. Fast to react, ridiculous jaw force, and agile movement that didn’t seem to match its size.

It was difficult to react against this monster.

I need to think.

I’m only at the beginning of 2F. The equivalent of 1F’s Goblin Fighter is now a Werewolf. However, each one of these wolves can tear my shoulder to ribbons.

It seemed impossible to conquer 2F.

However, I have nothing to fear.

When I started out as a goblin on 1F, I am in the same position as I was now.

I can’t evolve as quickly and as easily as I did before, but now I have to way to become stronger than evolution.

It’s something I need to do right now.

I took a deep breath and activated my Detection, confirming that there is no other monster around.

After slowly spreading his jaw and dropping him to the ground, I split his neck open and soaked the damaged armor to repair it.

Then, I stared at the corpse of the huge wolf.

“I will enjoy this food.”
