The souls that were heading towards the room that Derek and his party were in were a crimson color "interesting" thought Derek. Just then a notification popped up *Ding* [a lifeform with the intent to kill has been detected.] [Proposal: kill it first and absorb it's soul] (Reward: 1 stat point, +20 exp) [Accept] [Decline]. "Well this is an easy question, Accept" Thought Derek. As soon as he finished this thought multiple large bug like creatures burst into the room. They resembled a praying mantis with the horn of a stag beetle and stood at about 2 feet tall. "Skreeeeee" One of the creatures let out a shrill screech. "PREPARE FOR COMBAT" hollered Kev. Derek nodded his head and then proceeded to tighten his grip on his sword and dashed forward. *CLANG* Derek's sword clashed with the mantis creature's claw and sparks flew. Derek dashed to the side and the mantis once again swung, but this time Derek expected it, he quickly dodged out of the way and brought down his sword on the joint where the creature's flesh could be seen in between it's hard exoskeleton, right where its arm met it's body. The creatures blade-like arm flew into the air. The creature let out an agonized screech and green blood squirted on to Derek's armor. "Take that you ugly b*stard" Derek screamed as he once again swung his sword down. This time it connected with the top of the creatures head and lodged into the creature's head. Killing it.
[Aggressive Lifeform neutralized, it's soul will now be absorbed] Derek felt his body fill with energy, like after you drink a healing potion.[ Razor Mantis: first kill bonus: you will also receive one additional stat point]

Derek stared at the screen, in the slot next to forms that used to be empty it said razor mantis. Derek looked down at the creature he had just killed and guessed it was the name of the bug-like creature. "I also have 2 stat points, if im guessing correctly I can just..." *Ding* [agility increased by one point] [strength increased by one point] "Just as I thought" muttered Derek. His strength and agility stats now both showed the number 6. He thought that strength would just be a good idea and he always preferred to dodge rather than hold his ground and block, this being why he chose agility. His thoughts were interrupted by Kev giving out an order. " Carve up these mantis things and do it fast...The monsters have noticed we're here." Derek knelt down and got to carving. It took about ten minutes to get all the useful hide and exoskeleton materials. Derek also harvested some bone, in hopes of maybe crafting a new weapon when they got back to the guild headquarters. "Time to go" Shouted Kev. Derek and Evan got up and started to head towards the exit of the dungeon.
