Chapter 6 - Fighting Kobolds

"Hmm... Although I've just arrived here yesterday, it feels like I haven't eaten seafood for a long time."

Souta muttered as he bit the roasted fish in his hand. He still has a general idea of how to make fire without using magic.

"I've already increased my Intelligence attribute but I still couldn't remember my past." He looked at his stats while eating.

He could only remember that he came from earth and played the most popular game, Battle World Online. When he first came here, his memory was hazy. He slowly remembers things from the past every time he increases his Intelligence attribute.

"It sucks being a monster with low intelligence."

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming behind him.

"Hmm...?" He slowly turned his head and looked behind him. He saw five kobolds coming out of the bushes. They were armed with sword and spear.

Shing!

The kobolds pointed their weapons on his back.

'Oi! Oi! Why are you pointing that on me? Do you really want to die that much?'

One of the kobolds opened its mouth and said something that he couldn't understand.

"#[email protected]"

'This humanoid dogs?! I couldn't understand what they are saying!' Souta frowned hearing this.

There's no subtitles or speech balloon in his vision like in the game. If that's really the case, then he wouldn't understand a single thing in this world. No, there's an exception... and that's the Undead Skeleton Mage he fought before. But, it's different as the Undead Mage talked to his mind directly like some sort of telepathy. Well, he couldn't understand the logic behind it.

It seems that he needs to learn the language of this world first. He just hope that he still has time to learn that. It's important to learn it because he wouldn't be able to converse to other races without learning a language.

Ah! There's an item that will greatly help him.

He recalled one of the most powerful and advanced countries in the world, the Mechanic Country. The Mechanic Country had that technology. A technology where he could freely converse to other people even without knowing their language. That technology could translate thousands of languages around the world.

"I'll just get it at that time." He muttered as he slowly stood up and faced the kobolds.

The kobolds were still saying things that he couldn't understand. The kobolds got fed up with him as he didn't even reply to their question.

They raised their weapon and swung it downwards aiming at his head.

Souta saw this and moved his body sideways dodging the sharp weapons. He then picked up the [Staff of Undead] and drew a little distance to the kobolds.

"It's a fight, right? Okay, I will give you what you want!" Saying this, he charged straight on the five kobolds in front of him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Metallic sounds echoed in the area near the river.

Souta ducked down and used his feet to kick the knee of the kobold. He then moved his hand and swung the staff.

Clang!

One of the kobolds protected its comrades by blocking his staff.

Swoosh!

The remaining three kobolds rushed at him and stabbed their spear in his direction.

Seeing this, Souta rolled backward avoiding the sharp end of the spears.

'They have a good combination and I praise that but... that's all' He used [Dash] and quickly zoomed the distance between him and the kobolds.

He swung his staff with greater force than before.

Bang!

One of the kobolds tried to block him but was pushed backward by his strength. The kobolds were pushed back to their comrades.

Souta smirked and he once again used [Dash].

Swooosh!

He arrived in front of them in an instant and it caught to kobolds off guard. He raised his feet and swept the kobold in front sideways.

Bang!

The kobold flew and crashed in the tree causing the leaves to fall.

Souta followed up by swinging his staff to the kobolds.

Bang!

The kobolds were hit in the head. It loosened its grip on the sword. Then a heavy foot bent its body before flying a few meters away.

He moved his body as he threw his staff on the other kobolds. He then kicked the sword to the air before he jumped and caught it.

Putchi!

Blood spurted out from the neck of the kobold.

It was so fast that the other two kobolds didn't see it clearly. They were shocked that one of them got slain by a mere goblin. There were five of them but they couldn't even handle a single goblin.

Two of them were down and one was dead. Only two kobolds were left.

Souta landed on the ground and looked at the remaining two kobolds with a smirked on his face. When he caught the sword in the air, he quickly used the skill [Stab] and slain the kobold.

[You've received 63 exp for defeating a Kobold!]

There's only one system prompts in his head. It means that the other two were still alive. They were unconscious.

"It's time to finish this." Souta waved the sword and dashed towards the two kobolds.

[You've received 67 exp for defeating a Kobold!]

[You've received 49 exp for defeating a Kobold!]

[You've received 54 exp for defeating a Kobold!]

[You've received 55 exp for defeating a Kobold!]

Series of prompts ringed inside his head.

...

Souta cleaned the bloodstains on his body in the river. He also cleaned the sword that he will use.

He just recalled that this river was near the dungeon of kobolds. It's not that surprising that he met them here as he already guesses it before.

If this was the same as the game then it's really shocking to see the monster inside the dungeon walking out of it.

"Should I go there?" He rubbed his chin and looked at his reflection on the water.

"Probably not..."

The monsters inside the low-level dungeon were 30 to 50. But... It's different now the kobolds could increase their numbers by breeding. So the monsters inside the dungeon were higher than fifty.

He wouldn't be able to conquer it with his condition. It's possible if he finishes his first evolution.

That's it! He decided that he will increase his level first by conquering the other six dungeons where undead lives, no, it's five now as he already conquered the first one.

He rubbed his chin as he tried to recall a dungeon that has a lot of loots that could bring him benefits.

After a few minutes of thinking, he decided that he would go to the dungeon where ghouls reside. By the looks of it, it seems that he doesn't need to go to the surface to get the basic Class needs.

There's no other treasure inside the dungeon before because there's a secret room there where one could find the Universal Treasure [Soul Blood Earring]. But it's different from other dungeon, he could find skill books and knowledge there. Back then, some players even found Spirit fruit.

Speaking of loots, the upper floor couldn't be compared to what's on the middle floor. The loots there were abundant and all of these were free to take. He doesn't have any competitor here cause he's the only one here beside the monsters.

Oh! He's also a monster.

Souta stood up and hanged the [Undead's robe] on his shoulder. On his left hand, there's the sword and the staff was on his right hand.

"Okay, let's conquer and evolve as fast as we can!"

Souta shouted even though he's the only one here.

...

Putchi!

A dog head flew in the air and sprayed blood on the area below.

"I forgot that I'm close to the kobolds dungeon." Souta sighed and gripped his weapon tightly.

He used [Dash] and crashed the enemies in front of him, giving him a bunch of exp.

He didn't show any mercy to these kobolds that want to take his life. He killed them as if he was harvesting exp just like in the game.

Blood flow on the ground and it turned the green grasses into crimson blood color.

Today, the kobolds lost ten men.

"Hu~ it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth."

Souta said as he turned around and leave the scene. Sinking a sharp blade into the flesh of a living being made him feel nausea. This was not a game anymore that he could ignore killing them. It's a different feeling when he's killing the undead as those were originally dead.

He rested the staff on his shoulder as he walked leisurely towards the direction of the ghoul's dungeon.

After a few minutes of walking, he arrived in front of a dark cave.

The dark cave was releasing a very dark aura. It was like he was back inside the skeleton's dungeon. The only difference was this dungeon was releasing a stinky smell.

"It stinks here!" Souta frowned as he pinched his nose.

The ghouls were rotten creatures. It's different from skeleton soldiers that don't have any piece of flesh. These ghouls smell was really bad as its flesh was rotten and there's even a worm crawling inside their body.

That's what he remembered inside the game. His knowledge of the game was really helpful to him.

"Well, let's go inside now."

Souta took a step forward and entered the cave.
