'Seriously?'
"Yes, and if you-"
'Save the info for later, right now I need to focus on the battle.'
'Analyse the draugr.'
"Analysis complete."
[ Level 2 ]
Class - Warrior
STR - 13
DEF - 15
CON - 15
Not bad for a level 2, but I still have the upper hand here.
I picked the draugr sword lying on the ground. It was quite lighter than I thought.
The draugr walked closer, I held the sword tighter ready for battle.
Our swords clashed and sparks lit up, it's strength was enough to draw me back. It slashed at me violently again and again, I clumsily blocked all attacks.
tripping backwards the draugr instantly slashed at me. Barely dodging, the sharp edge of the sword dug deep on my left shoulder.
I winced and made a quick dash backwards.
[-2 HP]
"Shit!"
cursing under my breath I charged forward, with all my strength and swang the sword aiming at it's neck, the draugr blocked with it's shield , I didn't waste time and tried to kick it's torso.
My feet hit something hard.
'This damn shield.'
My expression twisted for the worse as l started to get frustrated.
The draugr growled in anger, it tried to encounter but the blade ended up flying over my head slicing the air, as I ducked.
In a crouching position, I kicked it's legs. Dust rose up the moment it's body made impact with the ground, my sword was held high as I jumped on top of the creature and thrusted the sword in it's chest. It let out a blood curdling scream, I pulled the sword out and pearced it's forehead.
The blue glow faded in it's eyes.
I panted and got up. This was a dangerous yet exciting battle.
My restless eyes wondered in every direction.
'Where is the Draugr Lord.'
"It seems the draugr lord is not here but if we trace where all the draugr came from we might find it."
I picked the silver shield laying next to the draugr and headed to where the creatures came from.
"The draugr lord is ranked from Level 3-5, If he is a level 5 you might really face some serious difficulties in defeating the creature. Are you sure it's wise to continue fighting." The system advised.
"I need to become stronger! besides if I run now I will face even stronger monsters in the future, I must learn how to handle myself, letting this opportunity to level up slip by won't be worth it."
"The XP Points you gained from killing level ones and two are enough and the cut on your left shoulder will hold you back."
"Don't worry if I get overpowered I will flee. Anyway tell me what I need to know about magic."
"Okay. If you completely deplete your mana for the first time the cooldown is 5 minutes until your mana start to regenerate, the 2nd time you completely deplete it, the cooldown increases to 10mins, 3rd time it's 30mins. They is also a limit to how many times you can completely deplete your mana and regenerate it. If you exhaust it the third time your body will become numb and you will likely feint from continually draining your energy.
"So all I need to do is make sure I don't over use it to that extent?"
"Yes, make sure to always keep that in mind. And I advice that you always rest after a long battle to fully recover."
"Don't worry, I won't be rampaging day and night without taking a nap."
I swiftly paced in the tall brown grass. walking north away from the river and our cave.
I was slowly having second thoughts about finding the draugr lord.
All my senses where on high alert, being extra cautious as I advanced in a clump of trees.
The surroundings creeped me out, thick trees enveloped the entire area, the only sound I could hear where my footsteps and thumping heart.
I could swear I was the only living being in this place.
As I slowly walked inside the thick forest, mist rose from the ground covering the whole area, while walking something strange came into view, I narrowed my gaze at the strange pillars of rocks that seemed to have been arranged in a circular formation.
'Analyse'
"It seems like It's a gate leading to another dimension.
"As in like, it will teleport me to another place?"
"Something like that, all you need to do is to place your hand in the middle piller and release as plenty of magic as you can. If enough magic required to travel into another space is reached your body will instantaneously be transferred to the other side.
"Is it safe?"
"There is 99% success rate.
"Okay, has my mana fully regenerated."
"Yes."
I placed my hand in the blue orb that was in the piller. I focused on emitting my mana into the crystal orb, as mana travelled inside the crystal rune drawings in all pillars, they gleamed in different colours.
The crystal orb that I transferd my magic into emitted a purple light that connected to each and every crystal in all five pillars.
A purple magic circle enveloped underneath me, everything became white as I felt like my body was being sucked by an unknown force.
My body was sucked into a spiral tunnel, the colourful walls faded as I reached the end of the passage. I was once again welcomed by another light that glitterd with insane intensity and blinded my eyes.
All of this occurred within 3 seconds. I slowly opened my eyes only to find myself in dark place with little light that emitted from the flame torches on the walls.
I walked out of the circle which had the same pillars as before, this place looked like it was some sort of cave, dungeon mybe?
I walked out of the circular room and proceeded in the narrow passage, small grass grew on the ground and some on the stone wall cracks.
