Wavering Green ran in front and impeded every one of their assaults with his goliath sharp edge, yet his health points started declining gradually from the measure of weight he was taking in every last bit of his body, which shows that these kobolds are very ground-breaking in strength.

Walking Dandelion looked savagely and projected a ground-breaking sorcery spell from his staff, shaping a light-red sparkly otherworldly ball which retained the air, making it greater.

"That's right," Wavering Green added. "We're not partners for nothing!"

"It seems like we're done with the first stage," Jack said. "Now onto second stage!"

"You bet your ass!"

Jack and his teammates stood altogether and strolled forward slowly. They met another entryway for a hypnotized as he snatched the door handle and painstakingly opened the entryway, seeing the darkness spreading in their eyes.

When they heard the death screams of the horrifying kobolds, voices echoed in their ears.

"There you go!" He smiled.
