Chapter 53: Exploring the dungeon part 2
Alexander didn’t understand what was going on, apparently the girl knew he had a system and was testing it. -Hey, it’s not funny. -Understanding his situation, Alexander approaches the knight to confirm his strength.
The knight didn’t hesitate to attack Alexander with a wooden staff he was holding in his right hand, but Alexander’s reflexes were quite fast.
[You are using the combat skill: Synergy]
[You have dodged the attack]
Seeing the opponent’s power Alexander takes his distance, although his opponent was a knight, his power level is no different from the gangsters he faced last time, currently all of Alexander’s statics were rank C+ not counting social and constitution which can’t be raised with points.
(Will I be able to see the stats of this thing?) -Feeling curious about his enemy, Alexander uses his “Observe” skill on him.
[Knight of the golden court]-[Power rank: D].
(I see with it’s D rank, I thought it would give me all stats, but I got a general power level) -Seeing the power of his rival Alexander gains some confidence and approaches to attack him.
The knight did not hesitate to launch an attack again, but this was deflected by a kick from Alexander who then approaches connecting several blows, -Let’s end this. -Alexander pushes knight to a wall and then concentrates all his attack on his fists.
[You are using the combat skill: Knockout points.]
Seeing the weak points of his opponent, Alexander manages to notice an opening in his armor which he takes advantage of to hit him several times until his enemy fell, Alexander won the fight instantly.
[You have defeated an enemy]
[Enemies Defeated: 1/100]
Seeing his slight advance with a smile, Alexander approaches the girl from before again. -Hey, why did you do that? I could have died. -Feeling somewhat annoyed by the joke from before, Alexander asks the girl.
-My apologies player, but I had to confirm that I was in condition. -The girl understands Alexander’s words and apologizes instantly, everything seems to indicate that she knows that Alexander is a system player. -It was mandatory, if it was the case that he was not strong enough, they would have to help him.
The girl kept explaining to Alexander the whole situation, everything she did was for his safety reasons, she was there to protect him. -But, it looks like he did pretty well. -The girl looks at the soldier lying on the ground, she didn’t think he was so easy to beat.
-Well, I guess I can understand that, but how do you know I’m a system player? -Alexander asks the girl.
-That’s simple to explain, this abandoned castle is something that the system only used for the mission, that is, I am also part of the system. -The girl answers Alexander with a smile, apparently she is not quite real either.
-Well, let's get to the important thing, since you have completed the terrible test, I will explain to you what you should do. -The girl magically took some cards out of her hands. -Do you see these cards here? I need you to find each of the objects you see in them, it is to make tea.
Alexander decided not to waste time and instantly approached to take the cards from the girl, the design of each object was strange, but it was possible to know what it was. -Well, I already have all the cards. -Alexander kept the cards in “Glutton” while he prepares himself.
-Well that’s about the quest, I also need you to clean the castle of things like that. -The girl points to the knight while telling Alexander his second task, it seems that the enemies are an important part of the mission, but it was something he already knew.
-You will realize which are your enemies thanks to this. -The girl, with a smile, makes her fingers ring.
[Congratulations]
[Your skill: “Observe” has been leveled up]
[With your new “Observe” power you will be able to see these things: Rivals with higher stats, If a member is an ally or enemy, Unique skills, Associated group and Selected item].
The window took Alexander by, surprise his enhanced ability would bring him several amazing things. (Before he could only see the stats of others, but that’s going to change).
-Thank you very much, it’s really going to help me a lot! -Alexander thanks the girl and gets ready to continue his mission.
-Hey, one last thing… What about the boss and the princess of this place? -Alexander asked the girl, previously the system put as a requirement of the mission to save a princess and defeat a boss.
-I’m sorry, but I don’t have that information. -The girl answered Alexander in a sorry way, who didn’t like the answer. -Okay, no problem, I’ll get going.
Alejandro, somewhat dissatisfied, left the room and began to observe the place, he was fascinated by everything, as he could see a general paradigm of the place, he could not help but look at every corner of the castle.
-I would like to live in a place like this, but for now let’s look. -Alexander decided to take out one of the cards given by the girl before. -Well then the first thing I should look for is a double petaled flower, this should be easy.
Knowing what his next target is, Alexander started to explore the castle, he entered different rooms and places, but he wasn’t able to find what he was looking for.
(Damn, I thought it was going to be easy, but I’m not able to find the flower) -Feeling incompetent, Alexander complained, not only he had not found the object, but also he had not found a single enemy.
-There must be something else, with a map it would have been better. -Alexander decided to return back to the general hall of the castle. -Let’s see, it’s a flower, it must be in a garden, but the door was closed, what if I look for another object? -Knowing that the flower would be somewhat complicated, Alexander decides to look at the different cards he had. -This seems to be an easy one.
Alexander with a confident face took another card, on it he could see a golden colored feather, the striking appearance would be perfect to find it.
(Let’s see what part I still don’t see?) -Alexander was looking for unexplored places with his eyes and for a strange reason his eyes were called by the dungeon. -There’s always something hidden in a dungeon, isn’t there?
Without thinking, Alexander entered the dungeon of the castle, it felt dark and empty, but just by entering he could see something shiny. -This must be the feather. -Feeling happy for his achievement, Alexander approached the feather, but his sight was stopped by a knight.
-Shit, why are you just coming out now? -Without a second’s hesitation Alexander throws a punch at the knight’s face, but for a strange reason he felt a great emptiness.
(What the hell?) -The knight didn’t hesitate to attack Alexander with a punch, which Alexander managed to dodge by the skin of his teeth. -I need light. -Seeing his clear disadvantage, Alexander hits one of the windows of the place and manages to improve his sight.
-But what the hell...? As soon as he noticed his opponent's appearance, Alexander froze. -Are you really a skeleton? I'm not dreaming, am I? -The appearance of his rival was worthy of a horror book, it was a skeleton wearing a purple armor.
[Royal Skeleton]-[Power Rank: D-]
Alexander observed the power of his opponent and realizes that he is even weaker than the knight from before.
(This system is stupid, I’m fighting against unreal enemies) -Alexander’s thoughts are stopped by the movements of his opponent, who was approaching at high speed.
[You have used the combat skill: Counter Strike.]
A counter strike hits the skull of the skeleton who wasn’t able to see that attack coming.
[The opponent’s defense will drop by 15%].
Seeing himself at an advantage, Alexander throws several more blows at his opponent until he falls completely defeated.
[You have defeated an enemy]
[Enemies defeated: 2/100]
-Fuck, I'll have nightmares for a month. -Tired from the fight, Alexander approaches the golden feather to take it.
[Congratulations, you have found the item: Celestial Feather].
[Objects for tea: 1/7]
[As you have obtained the first item you will be able to access more places in the dungeon.]
[The power of the enemies will grow from now on]
(I see, looks like I had to find the feather first, the items seem to have an order) -Alexander looked at the information given by the system while he was leaving the dungeon.
-Alexander’s eyes were instantly enchanted, the castle for a strange reason became bigger and seems to have new places. -I see, it will get bigger and bigger the further he goes. Alexander started to explore the place, but his step was stopped by a knight.
(Shit, at first I was complaining that there were no enemies, but this…)
Alexander somewhat nervous, he looked around, he was completely surrounded by enemies of different forms, knights, skeletons, a kind of jesters and warriors with mallets.
[Enemies defeated: 2/100]
-How about we start hunting?
