Chapter 8. My First Dungeon Experience

Victor walked ahead first with Dante holding his shoulder then Timmithy doing the same to Dante and Lillith doing the same to Timmithy. When they walked through the portal all they could see was a damp cave with not much light. The occasional torch could be seen and some bones scattered everywhere. They could hear some weird chattering up ahead but no one could understand it. Victor shushed everyone and got low to the ground in a crouch and they all followed.

After a short minute of walking they saw their first monsters for the hunt a group of 12 goblins. It looked like 6 warrior goblins and 6 goblin mages. Victor whispered to the group " Dante and I should take the front since you two are long range fighters it appears" he said while looking at Lilliths bow and Timmithys guns. They both nodded and agreed with that. Dante however asked a question quietly " what about cores? Do we split them according to kills or wait until the end?" Victor replied " I'm fine with splitting them by kills what about you two?" They both agreed to split them by kills also. Vic held up his hand and counted down from 3 to signal their charge.

When his last finger dropped Dante and Vic ran out at full speed. Dante was a little faster and activated his skill strength booster 20% and struck the closest goblin mage in the head with his gauntlets. Much to his surprise the goblin head actually basically exploded from the force behind the gauntlets. He saw his system flickered but he didn't have time to read it because the other goblins had noticed them by then. As soon as they were noticed Victor had arrived and managed to chop off another goblin mages head in a single blow. It seems Victor and Dante had the same idea to try and take out the long rage goblin mages first.

3 of the Goblin warriors each went towards the two boys closest. The goblin mages tried to back off but two were killed by each Lillith and Timmithy. Seeing this Victor and Dante rushed the last two of the mages. Victor threw a wind slash that cut a mage in half in one slice. Dante on the other hand rushed to the other one and threw a kick at its head the head once again basically exploded but this time from the boots impact. After that the goblin warriors fell upon the boys trying to hit them with crude swords and axes.

Lillith and Timmithy saw the boys being surrounded and looked at each and each took a couple shots managing to kill another goblin each. Vic and Dante on the other hand we're moving gracefully managing to block attacks with their equipment or completely dodging the attacks all together before counterattacking. Vic swung his great sword and managed to hit both the goblins surrounding him and killing then in a single blow. Not wanting to be outdone Dante did a swift roundhouse kick and managed to knock off both the warriors heads.

While the two boys were locating the goblins cores the other two of their group walked up and started taking their two cores each. After Dante had managed to get his 4 cores each he stuck them in his backpack and finally saw his system flashing. He quickly opened it and read the following.
