13. Sneaking In

Too bad for Indra, the D-Rank Gate in his school is found quickly because it appears in front of the Teacher's office. The school quickly contacts the police as there's no official organization that specifically handles it like the Hunter Association yet.

After that, the school sends the students home because it is a dangerous situation. They will close the school until the Gate is taken care of by the Hunters. But obviously, Indra won't let this chance go easily and he will raid the dungeon before the hunters.

'Gates can appear anywhere, even in schools. It seems I need to check my sister's school and where my dad works every day. I don't want any accident to happen like the one in Jin Ah's school where the Gate wasn't discovered until the last minute before it opens because it's located in a room that they rarely use. My family's safety is number 1.'

Tiger takes a detour to pass by his sister's college & his brother's school before going to the school where his dad works. He's relieved to know that there's no Gate in those places. But he'll make sure to keep checking every day because Gates can appear anytime and anywhere which is very worrying. It's a good thing those places are close, so he can check them on his way home.

That night, Indra goes to his school sneakily just as planned. The security is tight and there are not many people here because the Gate is inside the school. He needs to jump over the wall because they close the school gate. Then he runs to the teacher's office where the Gate is located.

Luckily, the teacher's office is near the entrance, so he doesn't need to run that far. Indra enters the Gate and quickly checks his surroundings. There is no monster near the Gate, so he can deactivate his stealth and take a rest for a while.

He takes off his shoes and wears a pair of sandals instead. Sandals are much cheaper than shoes, so it won't be a problem if they break. It may not be as comfortable as shoes, but he is used to wearing sandals, so he can move without much problem.

'Hmm, better than not wearing anything to step on this rough floor.'

After that, he also takes off his clothes and only wears his underwear and short pants. He doesn't want to rip his clothes and look for excuses if his mom finds out. His clothes aren't armor anyway, so it's the same even if he doesn't wear them.

'Tsk, if only those stupid goblins back then have armor. Even bad leather armor is fine, but they only wear cloth to protect their green little Johnny even though they have weapons.'

As if to answer his complaint, the monsters in this D-Rank dungeon are monkey-like monsters with red fur. They wear leather armor on some parts of their bodies and also wield weapons.

'What the hell?! Swords, spears, metal staffs, metal maces? They are equipped very well and their equipment's quality is much better than those goblins. Heck! They're even better than what the current hunters have.'

There are 12 of those monkeys that aren't just well equipped, but also have bodies as big as adult humans. That's why Indra thinks fighting all 12 of them alone at the same time is too dangerous. He needs to separate them because he's not sure if he will have enough mana to keep using Stealth until he kills them all.

'Hmm? Why do I keep thinking of using Stealth? Damn, it seems I used it too much that I only keep thinking of using it.'

Indra then casts the Curse of Weakness on the monsters and uses the Blessing of Strength on himself. The sudden debuffs make the monsters realize there is an enemy. But Indra has arrived next to one of them and sends a powerful knee stomp at the 1st monkey.

That stomp breaks the monkey's knee, bending it backward so it can't walk. It falls forward, so Indra grabs its head and sends a strong knee attack at its neck. He uses Hardening on his knee to increase his attack power and breaks the monkey's neck, killing it easily.

"Rather than hitting their hard skulls, it's easier to break their neck and stop their breathing system. But there are more things I want to try on you guys, so get ready."

Indra moves to the left to avoid a vertical slash from a red monkey's sword. Then he kicks the monkey's body, sending it flying to the other red monkeys behind. Another red monkey tries to hit his head with a mace from the side, but he dodges by crouching, and then he sends a knee attack at the red monkey's crotch.

"You should wear armor down there too."

A red monkey is trying to stab him with a spear from the right. But Indra uses the red monkey that gets its balls crushed as a shield. The spear stabs that red monkey instead and Indra pushes the stabbed monkey to make the spear pierce through its chest completely.

It baffles the red monkey that uses the spear, so it doesn't realize that Indra has stood in front of him with a punch cocked. That punch hits the red monkey's stomach and sends it flying. Now Indra knows his strength is much higher than these monkeys.

The problem is, they are so tough that even the one stabbed in the chest is still alive. Indra frowns before pulling out the spear from its chest to make sure its blood comes out of the wound. This way, the monkey will either lose a lot of blood or get its lungs filled with blood because the spear won't block its wound.

Indra stores the bloody spear in his inventory so the monkeys won't take it again. Then he realizes he should've taken the sword of the 1st monkey he killed. But it's too late now because 3 monkeys have surrounded him.

A sword, a mace, and a metal staff are coming at him from above. Indra quickly escapes through a gap between the red monkeys before punching the one that swung a mace from behind. He punches its liver very strongly and knocks the monkey out instantly.

Indra makes sure to kill it by stomping its neck to break it. Then he dashes to punch the closest monkey that wields a sword. He punches its stomach with his left hand, then punches its jaw with a right-hand hook.

Then he grabs the monkey's neck with his right hand, pulls it to his right, and sends a knee onto its body. He wants to continue his combo, but the red monkey is already dead. His current strength plus 10% buff from Blessing of Strength and 70% buff from Muay Thai skill are enough to damage the red monkey that gets 10% debuff very badly.

"Oh, so they can die this easily. Then I don't need to worry too much."

Knowing he can kill the red monkeys easily just with his Muay Thai techniques makes Indra very confident. He quickly attacks the remaining red monkeys and kills them with punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. They won't die with 1 or 2 attacks, but 4 or 5 attacks can kill them already.

"Phew, that's refreshing."

Indra manages to kill all 12 D-Rank Red Monkeys and level up to 22. But they weren't easy opponents as he needed to use Curse of Weakness on them 3 times before they all died. He also accumulated some fatigue, so he needs to rest for a bit now.

"The new buff & debuff skills are very useful, and the Hardening skill is much better when used in battles than I thought. I just need to be mindful of the skills' durations or they'll deactivate before I realize it."

Indra takes some of the red monkeys' leather armor pieces and wears them on himself. Some low protections are better than nothing.

"Too bad they don't wear shoes. But well, beggars can't be choosy."

After equipping himself with some pieces of leather armor, Indra continues to walk deeper into the dungeon. He is now very confident with his power and skills, so he attacks the red monkeys as soon as he sees them.

Of course, he is still being careful because he knows even a slight mistake can kill him. His movements are getting smoother and he can make better judgments as he fights more. The fight with these red monkeys really polishes his battle skills and awareness.

He killed a lot more of the red monkeys and reached level 25. He is very tired, but he feels very satisfied because he can see himself getting stronger visibly. He wants to continue so badly, but he knows he needs to rest to reduce his fatigue because in front of him is the Boss Room.
