"Hmmm, should I get Tempest to go as well?" after considering his options, he decide to bring Kuro and Tempest to let them gain some experience.

"Hey, Tempest, Kuro, follow me." the ghost called out to the two. At the moment, Tempest was checking out the dungeon menu, while Kuro was scratching his claws on the cat tower.

"Where are we going?" Tempest looked up at the ghost curiously asked.

"Grinding some exp."the ghost replied, as Kuro eyes glitter.

~~~~~~

The Trio appeared in the crypts, the ghost immediately guided them to the jail where he kept the goblin.

As they arrived, the goblin snarled at the trio, "LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"This is a feisty one, isn't it one of your monster?" Tempest looks towards the ghost and asked, ignoring the goblin's screaming behind the bars.

"Nah, he is one of the invaders who wanted me to kneel to his master or something." the ghost replied.

"Oh, so what are we doing here?" Tempest asked as she pointed to herself and Kuro.

"Hmm, I am here to interrogate him, you two are the backup just in case he doesn't want to talk." the ghost whispered to the two so as not to reveal their purpose here.

"Alright, let's begin." the ghost said.

"Hello, goblin from who knows where. Where are you from and why did you came to our dungeon?" the ghost stared at the goblin.

"Let me go, I'm not saying anything! You will regret it if you do not let me go." the goblin sat down on the floor with his hands cross.

"Why would I regret? You're the one behind the bars and at my mercy." the ghost retorted.

"My master have an army nearby, once he found out that you have destroyed our group, he will send his entire army over." the goblin said smirkingly.

"Oh, so your master is nearby with an entire army. I see, I see."the ghost said while acting as if he was afraid.

"So now you are scared?" the goblin said sarcastically at the ghost.

"Yes I am very scared, so how many monsters does your master have in his army?" the ghost questioned the goblin again.

"I'm not telling you, why should I tell you, just wait for him to arrive to destroy you and you will know. HAHAHAHA!" the goblin laughed.

"Ohhh, I, I am, am so scared, do you know how long before he arrives?"the ghost switched his question.

"How should I know, even if I did why would I tell you!"the goblin retorted back.

"Tch.... and here I thought I would get more information from this fella."the ghost clicked his tongue.

The ghost looks towards the side at Kuro, "It's your turn Kuro, try not to kill him okay, it doesn't matter if he is really close to death though."

"Meow!" Kuro replied as it's eyes sparkle.

As Kuro was tiny, it could jumped through the slit of the bars without any problems and it started scratching the goblin. The goblin jumped up trying to fight back and catched Kuro, but Kuro was too quick for it, as though Kuro was like a black bouncing ball, bouncing around the entire jail, with one target in sight, scratching it whenever Kuro bounces past it.

"AAHHHHHH, stopped it, get off me!" the goblin screamed in terror as kuro started scratching him everywhere.

After a few minutes the goblin was laying on the floor in his own blood puddle, while Kuro was proudly sitting next to the goblin while licking it's paw.

"Arghhhh...." the goblin groaned in pain.

"Hello, are you dead?" the ghost looked at the goblin and said.

"Arghh..."

"Hmmm, I need a way to make him talk." an idea suddenly strike him, the ghost opened the item shop and search for a skill scroll.

___________

Item : Scroll of : User will be able to learn how to cast lvl 1 lesser healing (one use item) [Cost : 50 DP]

After purchasing the scroll, he passed it to Tempest and said, "Use this scroll, you should be able to learn this skill, after you learn it heal that goblin."

Without waiting much, Tempest took the scroll and used it immediately, a wave of incantation flooded into her mind, and she said,"Oh, this is a new feeling."

After she learned the skill lesser healing, she cast it on the goblin.

"Argghhhh...." the goblin was still laying on the ground, after being healed acting as if he is still in pain, although his face showed a relax expression.

"So do you want to talk now?" the ghost said as his eyes twitched while watching that goblin.

"Arghhhh...." the goblin rolled to the side with it's back at the ghost.

💢appeared on the ghost head, "Kuro, scratch it."

Hearing the ghost said that, the goblin jumped up to it's feet and started trying to run, Kuro on the other hand tilted it's head as it found it funny. The goblin backed up until it's body was leaning against the wall. As if Kuro was smiling it extended it's claws as it approaches the goblin slowly.

"Stop, stop, please stop!" the goblin was panicking as it watch Kuro slowly approaching it.

Kuro ignored it's cries and begin scratching it up.

After a few rounds of scratching and healing, the goblin suddenly shouted, "I say whatever you want to know please stop, please stop!"

"Oh so you finally want to talk aa" the ghost looked at the goblin and said with his dull eyes, he then looks towards Kuro and said, "Kuro give it to him."

Kuro smirk as it continued to scratch the goblin. After another few rounds, the ghost felt better and said, "Kuro stop!"

Hearing the ghost, Kuro sat down and started licking it's paw beside the goblin. The ghost flew into the jail and said, "So, let me asked you again, how many monsters are there in that army of yours."

"Arghhh... there is about 200 over monsters." the goblin groaned while replying.

"What type of monsters are there, are there anymore mages inside it?" the ghost continued his questions.

"Yes.... argh... I don't know what type of monsters there are arghhh..... there is a mage squad though arghh... but I don't know how many mages are there." the goblin groaned as he tried his best to reply.

"Alright who is your master and how did he know that there is a dungeon master?" the ghost asked out of curiosity.

"My master is a arghhh..... dungeon master as well arghh... that's why he knows that there are arghh.... dungeon masters in a dungeon."

"Why does he want other dungeons to be under him?" the ghost asked.

"It's so that he could take over the entire region arghh..... and he plans to rule over the region arghhh...and declaring himself king." the goblin continued to groan.

"Haiz, the groaning is getting irritating, Tempest heal him." the ghost couldn't no longer stand the goblin groaning every time he replies, and said to Tempest.

After getting healed, the goblin sat up in the blood mess and trembled, while looking terrified at Kuro.

"Alright, let's continue, so where is the location of that camp?" the ghost asked.

"I don't have any idea, we just follow the leader. We were walking along the forest when we stumbled across this cave." the goblin replied.

"How far did your group walked?"

"No clue."

The ghost glance at Kuro, before looking back at the goblin. Kuro immediately extended his claws as it swing it front of the goblin.

"I really have no idea, how far we walked!" the frighten goblin scream out, afraid of being scratch again.

"Alright, how many days did you walked before you arrived here?" the ghost rephrased his question.

"I think we took 1 and 1/2 days to come here. We were the advance scout for the army." the goblin replied while shivering.

"I see, we should have time to prepare for their attack, then." the ghost gave a thought about it, as it had just been a day since the goblin attack.

"Last few questions, are there any monsters that are stronger than the hobgoblins?" the ghost looked at the goblin and said.

"Yes, we have a goblin lord, and goblin knights." the goblin replied without any hesitation.

"Is your dungeon master with the army?" the ghost asked.

"I am not sure." the goblin replied.

"How come you're not sure?" the ghost asked as he squinted his eyes .

"Our master have a few armies going around raiding the towns, he was there when we left our army to scout ahead, he might not be there now." the goblin replied truthfully.

"Last question, how many dungeons have he subdue or destroyed so far." the ghost asked in curiosity.

"From what I know, my master only managed to subdue one dungeon, this is the second dungeon we have come across so far." the goblin replied.

"I see, okay, we will spare you for now." the ghost left the jail as Kuro followed behind.

"We can't let him starve to death right?" Tempest said as she saw the ghost was about to teleport.

After listening to what Tempest said, the ghost replied, "Hmm, you're right."

He opened the dungeon menu and bought a bread and water combo from the item shop.

"Here's some food!" the ghost said as he threw it into the jail.

After that, the Trio teleported back to the dungeon master room.
