Special Abilities!

Chapter 13 - Special Abilities!

Breaking through the current Level 1 stage is Bell's goal at this point. It requires accumulating experience, skills, and various ability values to reach this goal.

Bell doesn't worry that his abilities aren't growing fast enough. Before receiving Falna, his basic abilities were already improving quickly.

His physical strength and agility increased exceptionally fast, which is why he managed to walk to Orario in less than a month.

Now that he has been bestowed with Falna, allowing him to progress even faster, Bell believes that he will break through the boundaries of Level 1 soon.

However, during this process, he doesn't want to attract unwanted attention, as it might bring a lot of trouble.

Bell didn't think too much about it; currently, he wasn't in any immediate danger. The only thing he needed to be cautious about was not being seen using the Spatial Pocket.

Otherwise, rumors would soon spread throughout Orario, making him a target for some people.

Of course, it's important to hide himself, but it's even more important not to appear sneaky.

Acting carefully rather than sneakily is crucial. Bell's life experience tells him that once someone sees him acting sneakily, even good people will start watching him.

So Bell just walked down into the dungeon with his hood covering his face.

Carefully listening to the surrounding sounds, Bell quickened his pace and walked deeper into the first floor. The sounds around him became clearer.

When he reached a place far from the entrance, Bell suddenly stopped. The clear sound of footsteps around him became much quieter, but there were still many sounds in his ears.

His hand under the cloak was already holding the short dagger he brought from home.

The sound in his ear was getting closer, and when the noise appeared behind him, Bell turned around without hesitation. Squinting, a small green goblin came into view.

Bell noticed the goblin stabbing at him with a weapon, but he turned around and avoided it easily.

At the same time, the dagger in his hand slashed across the goblin's neck as they crossed paths.

"Slash!"

A spray of blood shot from the goblin's neck. For goblins, the lethality from a normal person seemed the same as for them.

The fatally hit goblin quickly turned into a cloud of black ashes, gradually sinking into the walls of the dungeon.

"I see. The monsters in the dungeon die after receiving fatal damage. After death, they become black ash and reintegrate into the dungeon, eventually transforming into the next monster. This cycle is a special ability of the dungeon."

Bell then noticed a dagger and a small magic stone falling to the ground, apparently dropped by the goblin.

While the magic stone was understandable, why did the dagger drop?

The weapons in the hands of monsters are given at the same time as they are created in the dungeon and are part of the monsters.

As long as the monster's weapon is not properly dropped, it will also turn into black ash and disappear together after the monster is defeated.

"Looks like my luck is pretty good."

Bell walked over the fallen object, and as his cloak blocked it, he discreetly took it into the Spatial Pocket.

Then he took it out and held it in his hand. Knocking it against the dagger he brought from home, a gap appeared on his home dagger, but the goblin dagger remained intact.

"Sure enough, the difference in equipment is quite obvious. The daggers held by first floor goblins are so sharp, but can such goblins drop weapons so easily?"

Bell felt a little doubt in his heart, but it quickly subsided. It didn't matter whether it was easy to drop or not; it meant that his old dagger could be retired.

As for whether goblins' fangs dropped easily, he would find out by killing more goblins.

Bell now needed a moment to calm down.

The excitement of killing a monster for the first time temporarily suppressed his fear of the unknown.

Bell is not someone who confronts fear easily, especially horror movies on TV. What he needed was adaptation, but he had just run out of time to adapt.

The sound of footsteps in his ears gradually began to increase. The sound was deliberately controlled and not very loud; it should be the sound of a short goblin.

Bell worked hard to steady his breathing, allowing his body to adapt quickly to this state. His hand holding the goblin dagger no longer trembled with fear. His breathing steadied to a suitable range.

The first thing you need to pay attention to in the wild is your physical strength. This is also true in dungeons, where physical strength and energy are paramount.

If you can't gauge your physical strength and energy limits, you will easily fall prey to monsters.

Soon, four or five goblins were hiding in the nearby darkness, in corners almost invisible to human eyes.

Fortunately, Bell was used to the dark and could see clearly. This allowed him to see what the goblins looked like.

The goblins had dark green skin, slender bodies, and sharp ears, with hideous expressions on their faces. They held slightly curved daggers in their backhands, with a terrifying cold light at the edge of the blades, indicating their danger.

"Four... no, five."

Bell's mood was very calm now. Facing a monster for the first time, his body quickly adapted to the battle state. Bell didn't know why, but his body and consciousness were adapting very quickly.

Bell also felt surprisingly focused. Ensuring the five goblins were relatively far apart, he knew one-on-one was manageable, but there were more considerations in a surrounded scenario.

"So, I still need to make use of the Spatial Pocket. Using the items stored there will definitely make my battles more convenient."

"My position is far from the entrance on the first floor. Even a rookie wouldn't come to such a remote place. Therefore, my actions here won't attract much attention."

Bell had already made a decision. In addition to honing his skills, he also had to conduct a test on the use of the Spatial Pocket in combat.
