Cade finished reading every mission stated by the system. With nothing else to do, he decided to explore the forest. He did not know his location nor he knew others' location.
If he moved around, the mapping function will record every place he had gone to and that will help him a lot in exploring the World Dungeon.
Cade opened his map and to his surprise a red dot was shown on his map and it was right beside him (from the map perspective).
Cade was totally shocked and he immediately jumped forward out of the bushes and 'boom!!!' a small explosion happened.
Cade rolled on the ground a few times before he stopped and when he looked at the direction of the small explosion, dusts had covered the area.
"That is a strong attack and… that small explosion is similar to that the humanoid toad can do," thought Cade. Cade remembered how strong the humanoid toad was. A simple slap from the humanoid toad can form a small explosion like that.
"I should run away," thought Cade as he immediately stood and wanted to run away when suddenly a voice came from the dust.
"Another hairless monkey. Don't think about running away, monkey!!" said that voice and the dust suddenly parted and Cade saw the owner of the voice.
"!!!!" Cade was shocked to see the owner of that voice. He was a humanoid boar. He stood on two legs, with hairy body, had two arms with five fingers much like a human, a boar head and he was huge.
The humanoid boar looked like a boar version of werewolf. He was in a stance with his leg bent and both his arms were opened wide to his side. It looked like the dust parted because the humanoid boar blew it away with his arms.
Looking at the humanoid boar, Cade reminded himself to the humanoid toad and how the toad easily blasted him before. Fear started to creep and Cade was almost frozen from fear when the humanoid boar suddenly launched itself towards Cade.
The humanoid boar did not have any weapon with him and he was bare handed but he was clad with broken full body iron armor. It looked like he was attack by something and it can clearly be seen by the state of his armor.
Cade instinctively raised his shield and the humanoid boar punched the shield. "Bang!" Cade was forced backward a bit however, he managed to stop the attack from the humanoid bear.
"Urgh! This monster is strong! But," thought Cade and the fear he felt just now immediately disappeared because he can bear the attack of the humanoid boar.
The humanoid boar was shocked to see that Cade managed to block his attack perfectly and his eyes were wide opened from surprise. He remembered that Cade wore weak looking equipment and that surprised him a lot.
With his fear gone, Cade pushed the boar's fist that was on his shield to the side and he swung his sword towards the humanoid boar.
The humanoid boar saw the straight forward attack and easily evaded it. However, Cade did not stop there and he shoved his sword forward to stab the boar.
The boar again saw the simple attack from Cade and he jumped backwards to create a distance between them. He looked at Cade and he was mad.
"First the archer monkey and now a weak looking monkey like you!!! How dare all of you inferior monkey tried to kill me!!!" the humanoid boar was pissed and its brown fur all over its body shone lightly.
Looking at the light, Cade knew instantly that that was a skill. The humanoid boar was using a skill. The manner of which the light shone; Cade knew it must be some kind of enhancement skill.
"Attack? Defense? I wonder which enhancement he is using?" thought Cade but when he was thinking that, he launched himself towards the humanoid boar to kill it before he successfully activated the skill.
The humanoid boar saw Cade approaching and he roared, "ROAR!!!"
"Damn it!!! A skill!!" thought Cade as he was suddenly stopped on his track by the roar but he immediately able to continue again a second later.
The humanoid boar was again shocked to see Cade able to withstand his attack and he gritted his teeth, "His endurance must be high," and he also finished activating his enhancement skill and prepared to receive Cade's attack.
Cade slashed the humanoid boar but the humanoid boar did not evade the attack but instead, he grinned and tried to stop Cade's slash with bare hand.
"Defense enhancement huh? But you are mistaken about something," thought Cade as his sword continue and it slashed the boar's hand that tried to block Cade's slash.
Cade's cardboard sword met the palm of the boar. The boar smiled as he was confident that he will be able to catch the sword but then, his smile disappeared instantly.
The sword easily sliced his palm like it was tofu and blood spluttered out of his palm. "Arrghhhh!!!!" the humanoid boar screamed in pain.
"You are much more stupid than me. You clearly had high strength but you choose to enhance your defense," said Cade with a smile but the humanoid boar cannot see it because Cade wore his gas mask.
Cade did not want to lose his chance and he immediately swung his sword towards the neck of the humanoid boar and his head was severed from his body.
"Impossible!" thought the humanoid boar and then, it died.
[Level up to level 11] the system notified Cade. Cade ignored the notification and he looked at the humanoid boar's corpse and it did not evaporate.
"The corpse did not evaporate like usual… just like the humanoid toad," said Cade while looking at the corpse of the humanoid boar. He wanted to inspect the humanoid boar more but decided to just stored the corpse to his storage when he heard many footsteps coming to his direction.
Cade opened his maps and he can see five red dots coming fast towards him. With the aid of the map, Cade fled the area. Although he can kill the humanoid boar, it did not mean he can fight five of them.
The humanoid boar he had just killed had high strength and he deduced that all of their species had high strength too. That was how it was usually with the monsters.
Fighting one of them that was already been injured by someone was already quite hard for Cade and he considered himself to be lucky that his enemy was stupid and cocky enough to receive his attack like that.
If not, he might need more time to kill the humanoid boar. Looking at how easy his cardboard sword cut the boar, Cade deduced that they had low endurance. Compare to Cade's 200 endurance, the humanoid boar he had just killed might have about less than 100 endurance.
Endurance stat affected stamina and defense. The higher the endurance stat, the higher the stamina and defense of someone. Cade's high endurance meant he had high stamina and defense.
While Cade fled the area, he can feel that he was not as tired as before and he knew it was thanks to his high endurance stat. Not only that, he can hold himself well against the attack of the humanoid boar earlier and that was also thanks to his endurance stat.
Cade was happy that he finally made the right decision. Raising his endurance really was a good choice. His body was now comparable to the stats of his cardboard round shield.
Cade kept running and he made sure that he won't encountered any more of the boar using the really useful mapping function though he considered it more towards a radar than a map.
Cade found a huge tree and he decided to climb that tree. The tree was huge and tall and it also was lushes with leaves. He can easily hide there without any of the boar noticing.
Cade decided to rest there before he continued his explorations for the accompanying core as well as finding other explorers.
When he fled earlier, unfortunately, he did not detect any explorers nearby. It will be easier if he can work together with someone else.
The humanoid boar was intelligent compare to the monster and it was similar to human intelligence. Fighting them by himself might not be a good idea.
He remembered that the Boarman World Dungeon was C grade and that meant he can find up to C grade humanoid boar.
He did not know the grade of the humanoid boar he had just killed earlier and if perhaps that boar was E grade, Cade knew he will be in trouble if he met the C grade.
The system only shown him before that the humanoid boar was the Boarman it mentioned earlier when Cade just entered the dungeon. Other than that, the grade and level of the Boarman was not shown.
Cade knew why that happened. It was because he had yet to kill the Boarman and the system did not have their data. The same thing happened to all the monsters he killed in the dungeon after the system went through update.
