Kalel went at the edge of the balcony, he saw no immediate danger below, he descends, he will have to jump over the barrier to go on the street and run to the meeting point. Kalel hesitated to leave immediately, he was now level 4 and he knew almost instinctively that he needs just a little more experience to get to level 5 and be able to upgrade his space pocket. He wanted to kill some more slimes because they seemed like pretty easy to hunt from a distance which is pretty normal, it always been one of the weakest monsters when playing games. Moreover, he wanted to test his new weapon.
So kalel went down and put on his face mask again, he had his Acid spear on his right hand. He went to the corner and took a peek. You could see hundred slimes following each other and coming from a kind of dark burrow and trying to go inside the building by a hole on the door. Kalel decided not to fight them directly, he wanted to do a blitzkrieg, attract a few of them, kill them and run away by jumping over the fence. These slimes were slow, as long as you didn't get paralyzed by the toxin released by the black slimes, you could at least escape from them.
Kalel threw a stone on the one the red slime, it stopped moving and began to move in his direction. A group of red and green ones followed it. Kalel was waiting for them to get close, the leading slime came first, kalel hit it with his spear, it slashed the monster in half and around the edge of the tip, it melted the jelly-flesh body of the slime. A normal notification appeared showing he killed the monster, kalel did the same things for the group of 16 slimes which came to him one after the other. It was pretty anticlimactic, Kalel killed them easily. After the last, Kalel got the notifications he wanted.
' You are now level 5.'
'You can now access fully your Space pocket skill.'
The slimes only dropped one item, kalel took it and threw it in his space pocket. He then jumped over the fence and went in direction of the supermarket while paying attention to his surroundings. He then began to move half-crouched like policemen do in movies.
He passed the first 2 streets easily, they were absolutely no one. But when he was like 50 meters to supermarket in an adjacent street, he heard shout and cries.
" Run !!! they're too much monsters, we need to find a shelter, help the elderly and women, I will try earn some time for you to run." Shouted a man.
Kalel decided to get close to monitor the situation and see if he could help them. He could see 20 persons group, a few children and elderly, the men seemed armed with bat and piece of junk to defend themselves. They were pursued by green children looking monsters, A group of 7, they were roaring and bawling to the humans. The men tried to look intimidating but the monsters were getting closer.
Their size and skin color indicated that they were goblins, kalel went into hiding, they were getting closer to him. Kalel wanted to see if he could hide inside his space pocket. He opened it behind a car and went inside. When he went inside, he thought that it will be dark and he will be like in a kind locker. At his surprise, when he thought it was too dark, the room lit up and he could see everything inside. Kalel discovered that he could influenced how his space pocket looked like, he could even create compartments and drawers where to put his stuffs. Moreover, he could see outside in a 360 ° like a submarine periscope. It was kind of weird, kalel was surprised when the humans and goblins passed by him. So he knew he was unseen, it was like his space was in an other dimension but he could still get access to the normal dimension. It was kind of fascinating. Kalel reconcentrated himself and prepared to go out, he was now in the goblins back.
He left his space and approached the closest goblin, he attacked violently and pierced it with his spear his frail body, he used his right foot to take out his spear and attack the one coming on his right. This one had a weapon and some tunic, he dodged and stab him on his left leg, it hurts but kalel didn't feel much because of the adrenaline running through his veins. It nonless made him angry and almost slashed vertically the head of the goblin, blue-ish blood and grey matter spread everywhere. At that moment, the other group finally noted that he killed 2 of assailants. They watched him for a moment, they finally decided to help him killed them but Kalel didn't really count on their fast reaction. Anyway, there was only one goblin near him, the four others were to close to the group they were chasing. Kalel moved closer and kicked it before to stab it against the ground.
The group engaged against the goblins, 3 tried to fight but were overwhelmed by the humans, the last one made the error to run in kalel direction. It was beheaded. The fight ended, the men were cheering each other still shocked by being chased like animals by the goblins. Kalel grabbed the items dropped by the monsters he killed, their bodies weirdly didn't melt like the slime's ones.
' You are now level 6'
Kalel saw the notifications, he decided to only ignore the normal blue one, they were pretty useless and only focus on the red ones which indicated important stuffs like level up or item descriptions. He was glad to level up just by killing 3 goblins, it seems they give more experience than the slime, perhaps it is linked to their size. A man approached him slowly. He was a bald normal sized stocky man.
" Hello, thank you for your help, young man, I'm Thierry Lemarchand. We are going to the safe zone and got attacked by those monsters on the way. The subway and public transport are shut down. Can you join us ? it will be safer to go together, we don't know how many of those monsters there are." He said courteously.
" Hi, I'm kalel, I have to go join some of my friends, you should come with me, your people seemed tired and famished. You need a shelter for the one who got injuries. I'm going to the supermarket near here." He answered
Thierry watched his group, they looked like a refugee group, he knew they needed some rest, food and shelter. Kalel seemed strong and trustworthy so he made a sign to the others.
" Yé, you're right, you can lead the way we will follow you, kalel."
They all moved together on their guard against any threat they could face.
