Sighing, Poe made his way towards the tunnel where the spiders came from. When the battle of the spider queen and bat king reached its peak, cave bats and cave spiders had both made their way either towards the tunnel in front of Poe or the floor below to escape the onslaught of their rulers.
As Poe entered the tunnel the first thing that caught his eyes were meat of both bats and spiders laying here or there. The cave spiders and bats most likely had a fight the moment they reached the tunnel.
Once again letting out a sigh, Poe realized that it was his fault that so many cave spiders and cave bats died, but they were after all monsters, so even though Poe felt bad for making them kill each other that feeling quickly disappeared.
Walking further into the tunnel, Poe soon reached the place where he ran from last time.
In addition, on the ground were quite a few injured bats and spiders laying here and there. A few of them were still well and facing off against their counter parts.
Poe looked over and counted 5 injured bats or spiders and 4 still fighting. Making a quick decision, Poe decided to hide until the cave bats and spiders fighting were exhausted or dead.
It only took a few minutes before three of the remaining healthy ones died and the one remaining alive was now injured as well.
[Cave bat, lvl 5]
[Cave spider, lvl 7]
[Cave spider, lvl…]
Of the 6 remaining alive 4 were spiders and 2 were bats.
Standing up, Poe walked towards the 2 bats killing them by mana enchanting his stick before hitting them on the head.
[Gained 25 EXP + 5 EXP: from killing higher level enemy x 2]
[Mana Enchantment has reached level 2]
Looking at the beautiful level up on his skill, Poe quickly turned towards the 4 injured spiders that were now looking at him with fighting intent.
Looking at them from a distance it looked like they had a hard time moving around, so Poe used his mana ball from a distance to wear them down. After 2 or 3 mana balls the first spider finally perished.
[Gained 35 EXP + 15 EXP: for killing higher level enemy]
The other spiders quickly lost some of their fighting spirit seeing that their enemy could attack from a distance, but they were monsters, so giving up was not in their dictionary.
Standing up all 3 spiders looked towards Poe before running towards him with all their might.
Sadly two of them got hit by a mana ball on their way and fell over. The last one resisted the mana ball, so Poe used mana enchantment on the stick before finishing of the spider.
The other 2 spider quickly died as another mana ball hit them on their head, killing them off.
[Gained 45 EXP + 50 EXP: for killing higher level enemy]
[Mana ball has reached lvl 2]: how did the mana ball gain a level from only hitting spider heads? Who knows… Find out in the next level up!
[Gained 40 EXP + 20 EXP: for killing higher level enemy]
Having expected the level up in mana ball, Poe was not really surprised at it other than the weird message it brought with it…
What surprised Poe was that he had not reached level 5 as of yet, he should have reached it from his knowledge. At a wonder how much EXP he needs to reach level 5, Poe pulls up his status to see how much he needs.
Lvl 4, EXP required: 12
"God damn it… so close, why was it 6 monsters and not 7 damn it…"
Cursing a little for himself, Poe sighed at the fate of having to be so close yet so far from reaching level 5.
Calming down again, Poe looked at the tunnel in front of him with a rising fighting spirit. He just needed one more monster and he would reach level 5… Just one more.
The fate of Poe had other ideas for him, as Poe continued to walk he saw no monsters only the remains that were left behind. Not even a shadow of the spiders he hated showed up in front of him.
As he continued walking in the tunnel, Poe noticed that the tunnel was going up. Only a little, but it was still going up.
After walking for what seemed like hours, Poe finally made it to the end of the tunnel and what greeted him was what looked like a crater. The reason for this was that he could see the sky that he had not seen for a while and he could see the tunnel continuing on the other side of the crater.
Sliding down the crater, Poe saw what he thought was the underground river, so he quickly made a run for it. When he reached, the river the first thing he did was to drink some water, before laying down on the ground exhausted.
It had been awhile since Poe last slept so after laying down on the ground; Poe slowly fell asleep for the first time since entering the dungeon, cave or whatever this place was.
Well that is not counting the fluffy rabbits that rendered him unconscious back when he jumped into the underground river.
Poe had grown a lot from back then, he had gotten new skills leveled up old skills and even reached level 4.
Poe was a lot stronger than he was back then, not that he thinks he could fight off so many fluffy rabbit. From what he saw, they even had some king fluffy rabbit with them.
Sighing sadly, Poe made a goal for himself. When he wakes up, he will walk up the river to kill of those fluffy rabbit that put him in this situation in the first place.
On the other hand, it was him that started it. The last thing that Poe managed to think about before sleep claimed him was how he would take revenge on the fluffy rabbits.
