21 The First Dungeon

"I'm here" I'm talking about getting close to her.

I was sitting with my back in the boat. Alicia gets up and leaves the boat. Even if all night long no monster had appeared, I had remained attentive to them through my hearing, they appear to be gathered in one place. I'll explain that to her.

"Then it must be a dungeon" answers the girl.

"Dungeoneering?" That makes me a little excited.

Lucio had explained to me that there are some close to cities, usually they take possession and use as a way to train soldiers, besides knowing them from games. I didn't expect to find an unexplored dungeon, that could be good in a way.

"Yes, places where monsters are born." Apparently she thinks I don't know, so explain it to me.

Although we know what we know, it is still good to know more about the common sense of this world.

"Are dungeons usually very dangerous?" I ask.

"Depends" answers Alicia.

She's giving an air of confidence, maybe she believes it was the best joke possible. I feel half bad, but couldn't she be clearer?!

"Usually people get into them?" I ask.

"Some." The girl answers by steaming her chest.

She's very happy to be being useful. I give up, I'm just gonna take it. I get up, I have to stretch a little.

"Is Ioan gonna get into the dungeon?" he asks, coming to my side.

"I think so." I stretch my arm up. "This is a good opportunity to raise my level."

"Alicia..." She imitates stretching. "He wants to, too."

"Are you sure it's dangerous?" I ask.

She has strong magic, but her low physical strength is a worrying thing. What happens if we take on someone who outranks me in speed? You'd be able to protect her in the middle of the fight.

"But..." I try to argue, but I get cut off by her.

"Ioan will take care of Alicia and Alicia will take care of Ioan." She puts her hands together. "Partners."

I'll have to accept it, depending on the situation, I can kick her out.

"Climb on my back just like before, the terrain is very uneven." Get me down.

"Okay." She answers and then goes up.

We entered the forest, until we got to yesterday's river the path was easy, after all, we had already opened the way.

"Let's have some water, you must be thirsty." I put her down.

While she's drinking, I focus on my hearing. During the night the only thing I could understand was that it came from the forest.

"I'll fight while you use long-range magic" I say.

"Alicia will be supported, Ioan will be the vanguard." She says.

Terms that look like games, even that. These G.o.ds are certainly otakus. As I think about it, I hear the sound of a breath from afar, then the beats of his heart.

"I found it.

Once again we start walking. I also thought of a way to escape, Alicia has earth magic, along with mine we can have a great escape valve.

"If the monsters are too strong, we'll run away" warning. "Can you make a wall of earth when that happens?"

"Alicia can do it." says the girl.

Somehow I feel that if the spirit rises, it was almost as if she was on fire, maybe she is too excited. We entered a little more in the forest, the biggest difficulty is to cut the forest, we could pa.s.s by squeezing and only deviating, but we wouldn't have an escape route.

The sound of the monsters is increasing the closer I get. After a few minutes I can hear steps, they were light, by the amount they were three in total, bipeds, probably goblins. I fought against many when I was getting up in level, I have confidence that I would win easily. I erase my presence as much as possible and make a sign so that Alicia remains silent, unfortunately I cannot do anything to leave her more hidden.

As I deduced, there were three goblins, they are with their backs to us, easy targets, their levels are probably low, after all, they couldn't notice us. In front of them was a cave, it was relatively large, but hidden under the trees, which explains why we can't see it. I feel presence coming from inside, this is the dungeon...

~360 xp~

By the xp I received were all level two, goblins are no longer a big challenge, are small and weak, if they are not in group are defeated easily. I wonder if that changes with the level rise, but they wouldn't be able to climb that high, but I feel like I'm going to have a strong opponent now.

"Inside the cave..." I say. "I'm feeling a stronger presence."

I put Alicia on the ground, already concluding that there are no creatures that offer much danger around here, moreover we do not run the risk of receiving an attack from behind, my senses will take care of it.

"As agreed" warning.

She's behind me.

"Support." She says confident.

We enter the cave slowly, it is possible to see some bones in the corners, by the size must be goblins. The cave was dark, but I can still see relatively well, Alicia on the other hand holds the bar on my s.h.i.+rt.

"Stop" I'm talking about stopping right away.

I could see a great figure. He was almost three meters tall, didn't know his exact color because it was dark, but it looked something like dark green. Big fangs, which were once white, came out of her mouth, even though she was closed, her body was a mixture of muscles and fat. I don't know if I can get a head-on attack.

"An orc." Alicia speaks.

"He's pretty ugly," I answer.

"Yeah." She confirms it.

While we were talking, he's running up. Even though his size was pretty fast, but if that's all I can escape. I take Alicia in my lap and run back, we go to the beginning of the cave, it's very dark here.

"I'll show you who's ugly." He screams shaking something big in his hand.

I hadn't seen him with a club, he probably took it off the floor. More importantly, was he offended by what I said?

"Does he speak our language?" I ask.

"No" says Alicia. "Alicia doesn't understand."

A language that Alicia understands and I don't. Vampires and humans speak different languages, but thanks to G.o.d I was born understanding the two, there are both human and demon, perhaps this is it? But somehow I feel like it's different. When I arrive at the beginning of the cave I see a bone again. That was the goblin tongue.

"That's interesting, I've learned something new" I say smiling.

I put Alicia on the ground.

"Hold on for now, I want to try and defeat him." She says.

"Yep." The girl talks and takes a few steps back.

The cave was longer than I remembered, but he still comes soon after. Now we're face to face. He was holding his club back, he must be waiting to make a big attack, but I won't give it a chance.

I accelerate, I use all the speed I have towards you. I had the dagger on my waist, so first I want to try something. I try to hurt your arm using my hands, but it's impossible, your skin is too hard. He tries to hit me with an arched blow, but jumps back creating a safe distance between us.

"It's tougher than I thought," I say.

"Orc's weak point is speed." Alicia speaks. "Strength is durability." She explains it to me.

"Yes..." I'll take the dagger out of the hem. "I'm the worst enemy he could ever fight."

Vampires specialize in speed, it's my highest status. I look at the dagger and then towards you. I won't be able to puncture you with that, but...

I run towards you, make a little cut on your right thigh. He tries to hit me one more time, but detours by making a cut on his arm as he pa.s.ses. The battle has come to a standstill. I'm too fast to get hit, the orc is too strong to get a fatal blow. In one minute several small cuts. .h.i.t him, but they don't seem to affect him enough.

"You're too weak." He says laughing.

"That's what we'll see." I lift my dagger up close to my face. "Bald."

The orc gets angry and tries another attack. At that moment I pa.s.s my tongue in the blood that was flowing through the dagger. Although it's disgusting to drink the blood from this thing, there's nothing I can do about it. The taste, different from what I expected, is delicious, like a great meal.

Below deviating from your attack.

"Let's see now," I say running towards you.

Now I'm fifty percent stronger, my speed also increases significantly. I don't give a chance to attack, I hit the dagger in his hand that held the club. Unlike the other times the dagger enters more, this causes him to drop his weapon, he will no longer be able to use that hand.

"What have you done?" screams Orc, dropping a big cry of pain.

Your blood splashes on my hand, I wipe it with my tongue. It's really hard to stop after you start, but it's good to make it clear that I'm not proud of it.

Without your weapon the battle has completely changed. It was one-sided, she couldn't hit me, even trying with all her strength, while my attacks took more and more effect, so her hard skin is not only natural, it was probably a skill that will lose its effect with time.

~? 675 xp gain ?

An orc is equal to one hundred and fifty xp per level, the one I defeated had level three, I received four hundred and fifty, but it increased thanks to the fifty percent Boost that I received from that G.o.d.

"Somehow I feel like I'm cheating" I speak as I look at that big body on the floor.

That's the first monster, other than goblins, I've ever defeated. I really don't like to fight, but the peace I feel right after that is really amazing. Although I'm the invader. I look around, the goblin bones that were out there. It's just natural, he beat the weakest, he just found someone stronger.

I take a deep breath, focus on my hearing. There are no more monsters around.
