When Kore split up with the other two and went their separate ways, he first imagined how they would instantly fight each other and had a little smile on his face while thinking it. 'They wouldn't kill each other, right?´ Kore thought as worry spread through his mind. Maybe letting them alone wasn't such a good choice, but he had to trust them. Also, this was his chance to level up, as the main reason for him to go alone was so he could gain all the Xp he wanted. If he wants to kick the king in the ass, he would need his level to rise.
When he finished his thought, he just saw something that looked like a really thin and blue arm fly past him with incredible speed. In the darkness in front of him was a monster that tried to attack him. His watch was able to create some light, but just enough for people to know what they were attacking. Normally monsters are close combat fighters anyway, so it wouldn't be a problem if the range of sight was limited this much, but here was a ranged combat monster. Kore here, who was in close combat too, was at a disadvantage.
When he was about to run forward to the attacker, he was grabbed by the arm that flew at him and held in place. Kore first wanted to either go down and grab the arm or step on it with the other foot. The problem was that the first would put him in a vulnerable position and the second might make him lose his balance depending on how the arm would react. The attacker probably knew that as Kore felt something coming at him again. It was another thin arm, but this time in a yellow colour. At first, Kore tried catching it but noticed how fast it was, so he decided to dodge it, but the arm grabbed him at his shoulder, piercing its long finger nails into his body.
"Shit!" Kore screamed out as he took out a kitchen knife from the backpack he took with him. Luckily, he decided he would pack the backpack as he thought it would be helpful to have a place where he could store his egg and other things like the knife he had on the side of it just so his arm could reach it without having to lay down the backpack.
[Hp: 13/14]
His HP only went down by one right now, but in a fight things could change every second. That's why he grabbed the arm on his shoulder and pulled its nails out of his body. He didn't know where to stab with his knife, so he tried to stab the most obvious part. The palm of the hand After that, the hand stopped moving and Kore threw it against the wall next to him.
This time he felt another arm coming his way, in the direction of his face, but didn't even try to catch it. He knelt down so the arm would fly over him and, at the same second, he would try to stab the arm holding his leg. The arm that flew over him had an orange color and tried to grab on to him, but just flew over him and away into the darkness behind him. He stabbed the arm on his leg first near the hand, and when it let go, he stabbed its palm once again.
Kore thought he was quite lucky to get some stat points into senses, as he couldn't have felt the attack from the monster otherwise. Still, there was something that Kore noticed. His sense stat was quite low, even though it might be higher than that of other people. Normally, a normal person has a Senses stat of around five, so he was four points ahead. It wasn't even twice as good. But still, he was able to feel the attack of the monster in front of him. He thought that it might be because it's not built for sneaking. But even if it's not built for it, his Senses stat was still far too low. It wasn't just that there was no build or that it was bad for sneak attacks; it was terrible.Normally something like this would be good, but in this case, in this dungeon, it means that its strength lies somewhere else. As it's arms didn't do much damage to Kore and it's not like it would attack him in rapid fire, there was only one option left. The monster in front of him wasn't a ranged attacker. It was a close-combat monster who had the power to still attack in the distance.
At first, Kore thought he might get this done quite easily if he just got close to the monster, but that wasn't the case. It would only be more difficult for him to go into close combat. But still, he had no other option. After he killed the arm on his leg, he stood up and rushed to the monster in the darkness in front of him.
In front of him now stood what looked kind of like a bear. It had the same form as its body but the colour was entirely different. It had mostly blue but also green, red, orange, yellow, and a lot of other colours. It had eight spider legs, which were different in colour too, and all looked just like the arms Kore had stabbed before and got attacked by. It also had five arms attached to its body. They too were like the arms it had as its legs. One could clearly see that it had three arms missing. One went flying somewhere and the other two got killed by Kore.
´Analysis!´ Kore thought in his head, looking at the creature in front of him.
