Chapter 15 Second floor
Although this entrance looked like a hole, Kain's visual perception made him judge that this was more like a distortion of space. That's why Kain landed on the second floor of the Dungeon very gently and he didn't encounter any problems.
From the moment he arrived here, Kain entered a state of high alert.
Except for the first floor of the Dungeon, which is directly connected to the exit, from the second floor of the Dungeon onwards, you must kill the guardian monster to be able to return to the first floor of the Dungeon to leave. then you will be stuck here forever.
Of course, if you defeat the guardian monster on the last floor of the Dungeon, which can also be said to be the guardian monster of the entire Dungeon, you will also have the right to leave the Dungeon immediately without going through the process. Return to the first floor of the Dungeon.
This is like the winner's right.
This is in normal situations, there are also cases where sometimes you will find or accidentally enter hidden passages. These hidden passages are "illegal" paths that help move back and forth between Dungeon floor.
Some of them last forever, and most of them only exist for a short time, or move to another location.
This is also the reason why once you enter the Dungeon, you must be fully prepared. You may have to prepare necessities for many days, even months. And that is also why entering the Dungeon needs to be meticulously planned.
Even though it contains many dangers, there are still countless people who risk entering Dungeons to make money. Because this place not only has a lot of herbs, the Dungeon even has elixirs. At the same time, some materials that come from monsters are also expensive and important materials.
The second floor of the Dungeon is no different from the first floor, only the area is nearly twice as large and has more glowing grass.
The location where Kain is currently standing has not yet noticed any monsters around, so Kain marked this location as safe. After that, he went to explore around.
From where he started there are three different paths, the first path Kain has not yet explored further, the second path leads to three more paths, the third path only leads to two. Just another path.
Kain has not been able to explore the connection between the roads for the time being. But he was still sketching the map of the Dungeon in his own head.
So that whole day Kain did not fight monsters, but only observed to clearly understand the paths and locations where monsters were. As for the monsters, Kain also used the sound of their footsteps and the sounds they made to dodge first and avoid fighting.
For now, Kain has confirmed that there are three different types of monsters in this place.
First is the Zombies, the number of Zombies gathered is equivalent to the first floor of the Dungeon. However, these Zombies are stronger, their skin is darker, and the black veins appearing on the Zombie's skin are also a bit larger.
The second is Slime, the quantity of these things is not much different. But like Zombies, the Slimes here have grown larger, and the liquid that makes up their bodies also looks more opaque.
Finally, there are Eyels, these Eyels stick to the ceiling of the cave or the cave wall. Their size only ranges from half a meter to more than a meter. However, Eyel is the most annoying monster.
Eyel's fighting power is nothing, if not his fighting power is almost zero. At the same time, Eyel's body is also very weak and vulnerable. However, Eyel's annoyance did not come from that thing's fighting power.
If Kain accidentally steps into Eyel's field of vision, that thing will send out a special signal to other monsters nearby. Causing the monsters to grasp Kain's location, the trouble of this goes without saying.
So after resting for a night, Kain decided to eliminate the other monsters before eliminating the annoying Eyels.
Kain's first victim was a Zombie.
These Zombies were faster and stronger than the normal Zombies up there, but they still couldn't catch Kain when he used [Enhancement Body]. He doesn't need [Thunder Magic], just a dagger plus [Enhancement Tool] is enough to kill a Zombie with just a basic stab.
Kain quickly reaped his first victory, 10 Zombies.
[Level]: 0
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★ ]:
+[Thunder Bullet level 6] 0/7
+[Thunder Summon level 2] 0/4
+[Thunder Navigation level 2] 4/ 5 (+2)
-[Enhancement Magic ★ ]:
+[Enhancement Body level 2] 0/9
+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12
After destroying the gathering of ten Zombies, Kain walked forward and said the gathering of Slimes was not far away. For Slime, he doesn't use a knife but uses magic skills, because using physical weapons with short attack ranges like daggers to kill Slimes is an extremely labor-intensive job. Even Slimes are weakly resistant to magic, so it's best to just use magic.
Receiving two skill points, Kain upgraded [Thunder Navigation] to level 3, then he began to accumulate skill points to upgrade [Thunder Bullet].
[Thunder Bullet level 6] 1/ 7
[Thunder Navigation level 3] 0/6
Two days later, Kain almost completely eliminated monsters in the areas he had explored, leaving only positions blocked by Eyel's horde. His system board has also undergone the following changes.
[Level]: 0
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★ ]:
+[Thunder Bullet level 7] 0/8 (+6)
+[Thunder Summon level 2] 0/4
+[Thunder Navigation level 3] 3/ 6 (+2)
-[Enhancement Magic ★ ]:
+[Enhancement Body level 2] 0/9
+[Enhancement Tool level 1] 0/12
[Thunder Bullet] increased to level 7, Kain gradually felt the damage of this magic skill, not only the paralysis effect anymore. At the same time, [Thunder Bullet] is also more difficult to control, forcing Kain to switch to the [Thunder Navigation] upgrade.
Perhaps from level 7 onwards, the power of [Thunder Bullet] will increase a lot. That's why this magic skill is so difficult to control.
After clearing out all the Slimes and Zombies, Kain switched his target to Eyel.
There wasn't much to say about this, until Eyel called upon a rather powerful monster.
Reapers.
Like Zombies and Slimes, this Reaper is also different from the Reapers above. The easiest thing to recognize is that the thing's hand is in a clenched state. Because its hand was holding a sickle-like weapon.
