Chapter 16 - A Real Gold Mine

Axel decided to be honest and tell him what he had spotted : "The first tunnel on the right is not very deep and I didn't detect any monster inside, the treasures in the dungeons are always guarded by monsters so let's drop this one, okay ?"

Kevin nodded and Axel continued : "The next one is the one that leads to the boss of this dungeon, and I detected quite a few strong monsters there.

The other two that remain have rather weak monsters inside of them, if you want to have a little fun, we can start with these ones, what do you say ?"

Kevin let go of Axel's waist and removed the hand that was on his shoulder, when he saw that Axel looked disappointed, he said smiling and grabbing his wrist to pull him towards the tunnel near them : "We start with that one then ! So cool, I can't wait to see what these monsters will look like, it's so exciting !"

Axel let himself be carried away while keeping his senses open as much as possible, now that he had found a man he wanted to be with, there was no way he would let him get hurt.

They didn't have to wait for long before the first group of monsters appeared, the information about them materializing immediately before his eyes.

[ STATS ]

Name : Goblin

Race : Demon

Level 3

Five goblins had appeared and three were level 4 and two were level 3.

This System was really very practical, this information appeared just above each monsters, he couldn't go wrong like that and fight against an opponent too strong for him.

He said to Axel quickly : "It's okay, I'll take care of them, don't interfere please."

Axel leaned against the wall casually and crossed his arms over his chest to let him know that he had no intention of spoiling his pleasure.

The five monsters who had observed their exchange, all charged on Kevin who was the weaker of the two, which suited the latter perfectly.

Kevin threw his dagger and it stabbed the goblin closest to him between the eyes, he heard the sound of the System in his head but he kept the screen from opening and focused on his fight.

After taking only a few steps, he retrieved his dagger before the goblin he had just killed with it fell on the ground, and he thrust his dagger directly into the skull of the next goblin.

He immediately withdrew his dagger and he heard the System sound again, after parrying a few attacks, he slit the throats of two goblins with only one move and again threw his dagger into the skull of the last goblin that was trying to escape.

He went to retrieve his dagger and decided to open the screen of the System which had kept ringing in his head.

As he joined back Axel he looked curiously at his Stats.

Kevin didn't think he would gain anything by fighting those goblins, not only it was fun, but he had gained lot of gold coins and experience points which had allowed him to rise to level 2, this dungeon was a real gold mine for him.

When he was standing in front of Axel, this one said to him smiling : "You are really impressive Kev, you killed those monsters so easily, it's really ... disconcerting."

Kevin chuckled and said to him : "Remember who I really am, and stop being impressed, right now I still can't move like I would like, and then, those monsters were really weak, you said it yourself."

Axel smile widened and he put his hands on his shoulders to rotate him towards the interior of the cave and he whispered in his ear : "The one who will arrive is slightly stronger, but as he is alone I will leave him to you. However, I will intervene if I judge it necessary, okay ?"

Kevin nodded and as he had left his perception skill activated, when he looked to the tunnel, a message popped up before his eyes.

[ STATS ]

Name : Knight Goblin

Race : Demon

Level 10

He was about to go face this new monster when suddenly Axel grabbed his arm, he turned curiously and Axel said to him : "I don't know what you know about monsters, but you won't be able to kill this one with one strike, even if you aim for his vital points.

Luckily, your daggers same if they are only common daggers, they are quite good, they should pierce his skin easily, got it ?"

Axel then gave him back his dagger and he nodded to tell him that he had understood.

The information Axel had just given him was very important, and he thanked him before going to fight this knight goblin who had to be 2.00m tall and who possessed an impressive armor and ax.

Kevin looked at his armor before rushing headlong into the enemy, he had only discovered three openings. He could kill him by stabbing his eyes, his chin or his left shoulder, if he planted his blade vertically there, it would pierce his heart.

When he reached the knight goblin, he dodged his ax blow and walked against the wall to gain some height.

He planted his first dagger in his shoulder exactly where he had spotted, but as Axel had warned him that wasn't enough though.

Fortunately, thanks to his 5 agility points, his body could now move more easily and he narrowly avoided the knight goblin's retaliation.

As he parried and dodged his attacks with his second dagger, he used the blade that was on his forearm and with a slight flick of the wrist, he grabbed it firmly in his hand, and then he thrusted it deep into one of the eyes of the knight goblin.

After this attack, the knight goblin stepped back and screamed in pain and Kevin took this opportunity to pierce his chin with his second dagger.
