Village in the fog

<Don't touch me with your horrible hands!!> Alex hunched over as he showed his fangs and let out a snort from the constant harassment of the monster, Alex released a flare towards the monster, which it avoids with amazing speed, the monster moved at an amazing speed to avoid being burned, but although it doesn't touch the flames and avoid the heatwave, its body showed signs of burns on its skin the instant the place was filled with flame light.

The monster let out a squeaky sound as it starts running and tries to get away from Alex.

<Now you run away! no sir! you don't leave without leaving your Exp!> Alex looked down on the monster's attempt to escape.

With a rapid movement, Alex activated the first skill he learned to use ([Charge]) and reached the side of the monster effortlessly, Alex raised his leg and then hit the ground and lift some dirt.

*PuK!* The monster was forced to stand against the ground by a powerful leg that buried its claws on its back.

Alex looked a little entertained the attempts of the monster to get rid of the spiritual leg, but Alex had other plans at the time he buried his claws on the ground, the monster's body exploded into particles shortly after when it died under the spiritual claws that they crossed its entire body to the ground.

On the floor only the monster's crystal remained, which began to shine from the moment it was released from the monster's body, the crystal attracted the mana from the surroundings and eliminated the fog around the magic core, this surprised Alex, since it showed a completely opposite nature from when it was attached to the monster.

Alex approached the crystal only to feel that he felt much lighter and could breathe with less effort, he also felt that a little force returned to his body.

<I guess there was poison in the fog if the change is so drastic to breathe near this crystal> Alex looked at the crystal with interest which was no larger than the size of his head.

<It was a stroke of luck that ran into me with the monster now that after some time when the poison had a greater effect on me> Alex looked at the magic core while imagining himself being killed by some monster just because he was poisoned.

<Mmooviing~> Alex picked up the crystal with his tail, but he didn't keep it in his inventory but simply held it so he could keep the air clean of the poison or the fog.

He thought of doing something to hold the core for him, but the laziness beat Alex and he decided to simply hold it with his tail, something that doesn't take much of his effort and when he enters a fight, he can simply keep the crystal in his inventory in a blink and take it out when the fight is over.

Alex continued his adventure in search of the exit or a place to sleep because the day was about to end.

In another time and place, a great bluish-black feline with an appearance similar to Alex, but with blue eyes was beating beasts left and right without stopping, trying to match the domain that left Alex, only to end up winning the fight with a spike of ice she created on the ground.

Time had elapsed, but she could not forget Alex's appearance and how powerful he was in comparison to her who is struggling to kill a wolf which Alex eliminated without looking, she felt no remorse since it is something she didn't understand, she simply wants to have a domain like Alex in order to follow him... as well as another hidden motive.

She also missed Alice who used to come to stop her from doing stupid things and keep her from following Alex without fulfilling the promise, but at some point when she could be self-sufficient, Alice stopped coming, this only served for her to crave power reach Alex with more strength, the animal that changed her destiny, now she is no longer like her pack, she became something similar to Alex, something that made her happier.

She kept the last place where Alex slept as her central territory and never let another beast be near and eliminate Alex's smell since the other silly beasts had already forgotten Alex with the time that passed and now Alex's domain was in dispute, although she managed to retain more than 70% of it.

All that achieved in two months of hard effort, she managed to reach level 10 and get her evolutionary line, based on the simple desire to be stronger, more intelligent and equal to Alex, with that in mind she got her evolutionary path, the which gave her a unique ability to fulfill her desire to be equal to Alex.

She was also friendly with the kobolds who gave her food, but not just any food, she only accepted two types, meat in raw or semi-cooked.

While she kept thinking about Alex and how to strengthen herself, a shadow watches her from afar with much intrigue, the shadow had a humanoid form and apparently she had been watching her for quite some time.

In a different place, Kraga's group arrived at the village of Krota and were amazed by the new 'relic' of the village, which the village chief proudly boasted to Kra'ga and his brothers and sister of battle.

The village chief was very excited to explain the effect that the image had and why it is considered a relic, the village chief almost seemed to have stars in his eyes while explaining in detail the new 'relic'.

Kraga's group stayed for two full days in the village, in which they expected the great Maggla to arrive at the village and could give them some of their charms for their mission.

When the Great Maggla returned and told what she saw, many Kobolds were surprised by what they heard, especially the Kra'ga group that had had small fights against the orcs and knew how deadly the orcs were and especially the group that had weapons special.

Kra'ga and Krota were amazed as they were the only ones who had seen Alex since he first appeared, they knew Alex had great potential, but they did not expect it to be so much, to the point of being able to eliminate the orcs soon.

"I suppose there will always be a big difference between a beast and us" Kra'ga said his thoughts as he remembered the difficult moments he had to overcome the beasts when he began his journey.

While spending years of pure effort to move through the rooms, Alex only took days to achieve it.

Everyone squeezed their weapons tightly at the thought of how strong Alex was becoming and how strong the demon can be to create such a beast.

-

The days passed and Alex advanced through the poisonous cloud forest, on his journey in search of the exit, he found a town of Kobolds installed in all the fog.

Alex did not enter or approached the town since it was not of his interest, but he was surprised to see the use they gave to the magic cores of the beast, to have the core hanging like lamps to illuminate the place and gathered enough cores in certain places, perhaps to amplify its effect, but the entire village was free of fog and surrounded by Kobolds.

For the first time Alex was amazed to see kobolds, since these were not the same size as the others, the kobolds that were around the perimeter of the Village, were three feet larger with a much larger muscle mass, but it was something that Alex was not very surprised since the surroundings of this place required them to be able to survive.

<I guess the strongest meet here> A not mistaken idea.

The village of the end, named this way because after this room there would only be the room of the head of the floor to be able to enter the third floor. All the kobolds who managed to defeat the boss and enter the last floor are in this place, but many of them were mentally affected and decided to stay here to warn others of what they may suffer if they try to go to the third floor while also they dedicate to eliminate all the monsters that come from the third floor.

In fact, the Glombus monster, which Alex previously eliminated is a variant that adapted to the environment of the second floor, but its origin is the third floor, the monster arrived like a plague and contaminated the room with its miasma that releases with so just breathe, thanks to them, all the beasts in the room died and only left behind those that managed to adapt or were already resistant to poison like some giant venomous insects.

Alex had run into some giant centipedes and some other spiders that had created large cobweb nests that were completely burned by Alex without mercy.

The time spent in the last room, Alex devoted himself to eliminating anything that crossed his path, he did not find any difficulty in eliminating the monsters and collecting his loot, this only became a matter of time for Alex to find the Exit since he had walked on one side of the room to make sure he would find the exit sooner or later.

Just as Alex planned, he found the exit which had a small camp guarding the exit with many armed kobolds, most watching the corridor instead of turning to look at the fog.
