Chapter 7 - Fear

Alex's thoughts were interrupted by a lot of light in the cave and some screeching sounds that began to sound throughout the dungeon.

"Nyaa !!!" Alex moved from his place until he hit a wall while his eyes recovered from the flash of light.

"Gi!!" As Alex regained his sight, he heard something squeak very close to him.

Alex understood that it was not a rat by not having the same smell.

Alex thought to see a green dwarf a few meters from him.

The goblin stayed in his place confused when he was invoked from one moment to another, but the disorientation in him disappears in a second by not thinking much about it, since his priority is to get food and he can smell something close to him.

The goblin looked around until he found Alex who was still looking at him.

"Gigiiii !!" The goblin lifted his wooden club high and threw himself at Alex as he tried to hit him on the head, but Alex easily dodged the Goblin.

The longer the fight, the more stressed the Goblin got until he started swinging his club everywhere with the desire to at least touch Alex once, but he never could.

Alex thought when he finished observing how ugly Goblin is, Alex felt a little sorry for the Goblin for not being chosen by Santa Claus.

Alex kept dodging the attacks, but when he cleared his mind, his playful aura that surrounded him while dodging the goblin's attacks, disappeared to be replaced by a serious one, this caused a great change in his attitude, he not only began to dodge the attacks, but now for every opening shown by the goblin, Alex would exploit that opening.

The goblin was filled with despair to fight against Alex and in a bad blow, he let Alex manage to cut his neck with his claws.

[You killed a Goblin Lvl 2 + 25Exp]

[You have obtained + 1Pm by absorbing the vital energy of the Goblin]

Alex looked disgusted at the body of the goblin, but that feeling disappeared when he saw it explode in smoke while leaving behind an object.

But there was no time to analyze the object left by the goblin, since more than 5 of them were coming towards him while they waved their sticks in the air as if they were trying to hit him, even though he is very far from him.

With a quick movement Alex kept the object in his inventory with his tail and ran towards them, although Alex wants to avoid any conflict, he knows that if he doesn't get stronger he will die by not being able to follow the changes suffered by the dungeon as the increase of enemies, he doesn't know what prepares him more in the future, inside the dungeon and for now he can only go the way of strengthening himself.

Alex moved swiftly to the goblins and with fierce movements, Alex created great wounds in them without giving them time to react to their onslaught, possibly Alex could see run away if he had not witnessed how weak he is when he met the only being who has given him affection and security in his most vulnerable moment although he still has wounds from what happened, that event aroused Alex's desire to be strong, although he still does not understand in what context he wants to be strong, but he desires it with great longing to not return to Feel how it feels now.

With agile movements, Alex finished the five goblins who had tried to assault him, they all exploded in smoke and dropped the same object as the previous one, but Alex only kept them as his combat attracted the attention of more goblins in the area.

Alex got another point of mutation [Pm] of the death of one of the 5 goblins and without hesitation updated his claws threefold and so he ran out of more Pm, although he needs 10 for his core, but right now his claws are more important that its core that does not yet understand how to use.

The pain invaded Alex's body because of the change, but this time it didn't have a great effect on him since he doesn't have the time for that since the goblins are on him with his clubs, with a rapid movement of his claws, Alex shattered the clubs of the goblins with little effort, thanks to the change that their claws suffered.

If before his claws were dark transparent, now they are completely black and they don't reflect the light, an incredible event for a striped cat and even more since Alex is still a baby, but it is not surprising when Alex is intelligent while the beasts are not, they can't spam there points unless the dungeon helps them.

With the clubs destroyed, the goblins were not discouraged, they simply used the fallen pieces or stole the club of the weakest companion.

"Gi! Gigi !!" The goblins started fighting each other by taking off the clubs that were in good condition, but while they argued, Alex stopped thinking about not wanting to taste goblin meat by its smell and began throwing large bites into the small bodies of Goblins that only measure as the height of a primary school child [1.2 ~ 1.5M].

Alex bit the parts of the body where there was no bone that interposed and thus be able to create large deep wounds, this woke the goblins from their discussion and tried again to hit him with their sticks or especially stab him.

But in a moment of intelligence among the goblins, they managed to hit Alex by calling their attention with a bait, a goblin who did not use weapons threw himself at Alex and held him with all his strength, but he only managed to hold Alex by the tail and in that small moment of advantage two goblins managed to bury two small wooden stakes in Alex's body, but they were not very deep, since Alex managed to free himself from the goblin's grip and only took two large wounds in his body, which then They began to drip blood.

The collar did not protect him since it is not yet recharged, Alex squeezed the fangs of pain and looked hatefully at the goblins holding the stakes with his blood.

Alex backed away from the burning of his wounds.

The goblins began to laugh at how effective it was and they became happier when they saw their mortal enemy back away in fear, all the goblins noticed that using clubs against Alex is not appropriate, so they began to break their clubs with the intention of take out wooden stakes.

Alex looked at them with hate and fear, since for the first time since he woke up in the dungeon a sense of danger began to surround him when he saw more than 5 goblins begin to arm themselves with weapons to kill him, fear only increased already that goblins are something unknown to Alex.

Surrounded by goblins, Alex decided to make his way between them, but the goblins did not leave him the easy way, they all have experience in hunting small animals and know how the animals react to the fear of being hunted and were prepared for Alex's action, but they did not count so Alex was not an animal without intelligence that is dominated by fear and takes any exit although this appears to be completely free as the opening that the goblins concealed for Alex to take.

Alex ran for the opening, but when they were sure Alex fell into the trap, Alex jumped into the face of a goblin with amazing speed, previously Alex was holding himself back since he was not used to his new speed , but that did not prevent him from having small moments of impulses, with a powerful jump, Alex came to the face of one of the goblins and scratched his face with his powerful claws which pierced the skin and bone of the goblin, thus killing him in a moment and making its way through the retinue of goblins.

Alex ran through the dungeon caves, but Alex began to feel terrified and desperate to see that the dungeon was filled with Goblins who were fighting among themselves or hunting Ratceks.

It didn't take long for Alex to make his way to the safe area of ​​the dungeon while dodging the goblins who were exploring the dungeon in groups of three and tried to catch him, some followed him to the entrance of the safe area.

Alex dragged himself out of breath to the edge of the water pond and lay down where the water is not deep to just faint from blood loss and fatigue from running around the cave, since he could not go straight to the safe area since some roads were blocked by goblins.

The goblins who stayed outside the room just looked hungry at Alex, tried to get close but the invisible wall stopped them in their place and when they noticed that they lost connection with the dungeon their instincts made them return and not enter the room.

They could only see Alex's body hungry, some tried to use their clubs or sticks to get to Alex, but the distance is so great that their intent is insignificant, but they still tried, some threw their wooden sticks at Alex, but when they saw that they had no way of reaching it, they began to walk away and leave Alex alone.

But a goblin did not stop even though his instincts shouted at him to stop, but he was dominated by hunger and kept pushing until he crossed the invisible barrier and thus losing connection with the dungeon.
