Chapter 17 - I was blind

Alex retreated for the second time since he woke up in his new life, but this time he did it in a different situation in which he does have his feelings under control and is not dominated by fear.

Memories of the battle began to repeat itself in Alex's mind over and over again, as a mockery at his pathetic attempt at confronting the tiger.

For several minutes Alex's mind was filled with thoughts like the following: [I could have dodged it ... I could attack at that moment ... I could set a trap there ...], but everything was in a possible imaginary scenario that never happened, which caused the frustration to increase in Alex when he saw all the mistakes he found himself and for those, he still can't see.

<"I would have", doesn't exist, now I can only become stronger, I saw how weak I am now I can only move forward and grow> Determination began to emerge in Alex as an unstoppable flame, Alex's core responded excitedly to pump more mana through his body, which began to cure Alex's fatigue.

Alex tried to call the only mana spirit that always comes to his call, but as much as he tried, he never came to him to "play", this discouraged Alex a little when he thought he lost the only company he had during these 19 days [Current Date: X107 8 of the 4th Month]

It was Alex's thoughts when he saw the amount of mana around him compared to the first floor, the density of the mana was much higher, although on this floor of the dungeon there are magical beasts.

Alex came back where he came from, but this time he stealthily advanced by not wanting to find another magical beast or powerful monster, he now doesn't know everything about this place.

He has so far found only three types of monsters:

Kobolds [Lizardman, favored by the Fire element and followers of the Dragon religion]

Wolves [Wild Animal]

The Tiger [Magic Beast: Element: Neutral]

Alex considers the first two as weak for his first impression, but his new experience reminded him that he is in a new floor, which is the same as another world compared to the previous one.

Alex moved through dense forest with those thoughts while admiring his surroundings that is no longer a cave.

After a few hours of walking, I arrive near the entrance as he could see the giant wall that encloses this room.

Alex came out of his stealth mode while a small stream came out from his body. While that was happening, Alex looked at his mini-map were many points of different colors began to appear and with that, data also appeared where they say how far away they are from Alex as the center of the mini-map.

The current wave that left Alex's body, that was the force of Alex's Aura that shot out of his body, although it only lasted for a moment, since Alex wanted to see if his idea was possible and turned out to be, the enemies or living beings that Alex feels with his Aura, appear on the mini-map, are registered as points of different colors.

The neutrals are yellow.

The hostiles are red.

Those were the only colors that Alex looked at in his mini-map, he was not surprised since he is inside a dungeon.

Alex thought while his body tensed and his fur began to bristle throughout his body for a short time after more pressure began to emerge throughout the place, nothing was affected for a few seconds, until the animals began to behave strangely.

Small animals became completely submissive, while others began to roar in protest at the threat of conquest of the new "King."

All the beasts that had marked their territory with their scents or aura now became enraged to feel how their territories are being taken by another, without having defeated them.

All the beasts in a radius of 100 meters with Alex as the center, began to run in his direction once and for all to decide who is the king of the entrance of the [Room 1 Forest Type].

Alex looked surprised to see the more than 50 red dots moving swiftly in his direction.

A big maniac smile emerged on Alex's face without him noticing, a sign of how the Dungeon is affecting him and now the fight for his life is something entertaining for Alex when he was a very harmless and calm person.

Alex did not wait for them to arrive, moving quickly, Alex headed towards a group of 5 red dots that move together, while Alex ran, he began to stretch his black claws that reflect the light as if they were made of some metal black.

On the other side of the forest, a group of five Kobolds were eating the body of some beast that they themselves hunted that day, but Alex's aura provoked them and without much thought, they went to where Alex is with the help of his instincts, for them, Alex is simply another silly beast who believes he can steal his territory like the previous Striped Cat.

The five quickly ran through the forest in Alex's direction while carrying their weapons, their group consists of two spearmen, a swordsman and two archers.

They began communicating in their own Kobold language, about what training they would take when facing Alex, but as the leader Kobold explained, a small shadow emerged from the bushes in front of them and jumped over the leader.

The leader Kobold, reacted in time to place his spear in the incoming surprises attacks, but the achievement block all attacks thanks to his high agility, but while he blocked the attacks that his instinct shouted dangerously, the small animal made a rotating movement with which managed to hit him in his face.

"Kghk!" The Kobold leader growled in pain while his head was forced to look to the right, but he kept his gaze on the little enemy, in front of him is a cat which is wagging its tail in a provocative way that the other Kobolds will not understand since they cannot continue their leader's fight against the enemy beast.

"Put yourself in their positions !!" The Kobold Leader opened his eyes when he saw the cracks in his spear in front of him blocking Alex's attack, which tried to scratch him in the face with his dangerous black claws, but before he could get Alex away from him, Alex's tail hit him in an agile and powerful way in the face.

"Pouf!" The Kobold spat a fang that broke from the impact of the previous blow.

"What the hell!!" Shout the Kobold Archer 2, seeing how a cat is surpassing its leader.

"Be careful! It looks like a baby Cat Striped, but do not fool you, it has the strength of an adult and also its damn claws! If we manage to kill him we will have new equipment secured !!" The Kobold Swordsman said, while the trembling of fear when he saw how his leader was beaten, he shouted more to temper himself than for others.

"Meow!! [Sticky Fire!!]" Alex threw himself back at the Kobolds trying to make a formation, but before giving him a chance to do so, he moves quickly as he touches them with the palm of his paws.

"So soft!" One of the Kobold's scream in reflex when it was hit in the face by Alex's paws.

"Meow!! [Turn on!!]" Alex shouted once I touched the five Kobolds.

When Alex shouted a small flame was lit from the tattoo that Alex has under his left eye, but Alex could not notice it since it is in a blind spot, but the Kobold could see it, at first everyone was surprised, but soon a big smile began to appear on their faces since they are all fire-resistant "red".

*PuuK!* Flames appeared in the form of a cat's paw in the places where Alex walked while performing his magic and where he hit the Kobolds, at first they were surprised and confused because their instincts shouted in terror ... shortly after they died incinerated in orange flames with a little yellow.

They tried to quell the fire with earth or with the water they carried in canteens, but it was never a common fire, but one that comes from manna ...

It was the thought Alex had when he saw the Kobolds try to put out their orange flame.

Alex began patting the ground with his tail as he becomes moody at his new discovery of magic.
