34 Second level

Kael went downstairs towards the second level. He met other adventurers at the stairs, looking at them that has damage to their armors. Signifying that they recently made it out on a bloody battle. They were a combination of Warrior, Priest, Rogue, Knight, and, Mage. All of them were chatting idly with random topics where Kael finds it confusing.

The Warrior was wearing a silver helmet and he has a read hair. The Priest wears white robes as all priests do. He has silver hair, white skin, and a handsomely chiselled face. The Rouge was plain-looking, but he has a hood on his robes that were covering his head. The Knight has a large steel shield and has a large build. His armor was bulky and he was a sight to behold. The Mage was wearing a red robe and didn't carry a staff. He has white gloves and he has eyeglasses. He was cool if the girls will comment on his looks. They just finished their quest for killing kobolds. Kael saw torches on the walls and was flickering their lights. Burning their fuel on the process. Walls were solid and made of cement. Smooth to the touch and not gritty. He walks in the stairs while his steps were making a sound.

Tik! Tok! Tik! Tok!

The adventurers successfully arrived on the first floor and the stairs became quite as they left. Kael was now solitary in the stairs and can hear his breathing. He was touching his backpack that seemed to be floating in the air. Kael has his weightless backpack because he enchanted it with "[Weightlessness]". It will not hinder his agility in the slightest bit. Kael was happily walking when he arrived at the entrance of the second level. Kael saw the vast space of the cave and there, he saw the glowing stones that hang in the walls and the ceiling. Glowing with bluish-white light that made the adventurers see in the place. It made the travel on the second floor, a tad easier because of the stones. The place was silent with low echoes of growl, bark, and, howl. He saw a cliff down below towards the third floor. Throwing a stone below then it echoed after a second of waiting. He didn't saw enemies yet, but he didn't lose his focus.

At this level, he heard that the enemies were carrying swords and they were more agile. It was what he investigated from the previous adventurers. He thought of an easier but dangerous plan, but it was for not wasting his precious time in the cave. Kael grabs a potion on his potion belt. It was a monster attractant potion that he uses since then. He pours the monster attractant potion into his sword and then he smiled. Expecting what was its effects, he waited for a minute and then the enemies appeared.

"One, two, three, five, ten! They were ten!" He spoke with excitement.

"Let me see if you can entertain me!" He shouted this time around, excited to the upcoming battle.

Kael dashed forwards while drawing his sword. The enemies surrounded him and they were armed with swords. He slashed, then his sword was blocked. The kobolds were stronger than his past enemies and they were fearless.

Ting!

Their swords clanged as they met. Kael underestimated his enemies this time around. He felt that his expectations for them to rise and in result, he was looking forward to the fight.

Rawr!

The kobold growled as it strikes with his sword. Kael kicked the kobold that repelled his strike, then repelled the other one who strikes him. He was surrounded so he needs to break their encirclement.

He dashed forwards, then slashed his enemy in the front. It was wounded on the chest and so it retreated.

Ting! Ting!

Kael repelled two at once. He slashed the other one and he successfully wounded it. The enemies were aggressive than usual because of the monster attractant. Dripping their saliva on the floor as their bloodlust to him heightened. Kael then strikes with his sword to the other two in his back. He initiated a vertical slash and he succeeded in wounding them. Blood gushed out from their necks and they went down after a second.

Without delays, Kael immediately rushed to the remaining enemies. Not wanting to spare anyone from his sword. He slashed much faster than before and they were taken by surprise. He successfully slashed the chest of the kobold. Even though the enemies were helpless, he didn't stop there, he slashed the other two in a flash. Another two in succession, ending their pitiful life on the process.

He executed a slash again, but he runs out of stamina. He has three enemies left.

Kael breaths heavily and his legs were weary. He thrusts his sword to the ground and he inhaled a mouthful of air.

The three enemies simultaneously attacked, Kael slashed horizontally–cleaving them all.

He whips his sword to drain the blood, then puts it to the scabbard. He draws his dagger, then collected ten ears. With the five on hand, he has fifteen.

He removes their cores, then puts it in his backpack. Kael then takes a look at his adventurer window card. It glowed and it says, "You have levelled up!"

'Wow, it was fast! Levelling already?' He said in his mind.

Kael then found out that there were many more kobolds that have sniffed the monster attractant. Little by little, eyes appeared and glowed in the dark. Barking and growling were echoing the cave. Making his hairs to stand up in the process. He was surrounded and he forgot the tiniest detail he has to know.

'Damn! I forgot they were dogs!' He exclaimed in his mind, staring at them as he was preparing for their attack.
