The monsters arms were long and thick, so I studied it's body a bit before dashing blinding… it was certainly many levels above the goblins after all.
"This should be related to Wrath or Sloth, considering its appearance. Anyways, it works for me."
I dashed toward the beast and the creature sluggish raised his guard, but soon it looked at me and spat… I immediately stopped and jumped to the side and glared at the creature and then the spit that hit the place I was half a second ago… it was the size of a head, and it didn't splash around… it looked like a glue of a split.
"Son of a bitch. You don't have honor? Don't spit on your opponents even after they are dead. Not that I care about honor… wait."
The monster spit at me again, and soon I did the same… that was disgusting. The place was starting to stink, too. What happened to the cute-looking monsters that have cute and weak attacks at the low levels? I guess I was expecting too much from the land of the monsters.
"I will smash your head so hard that you will regain the use of her mental faculties."
I began to run to the beast's side, but soon I charged, and the creature used Spit again. As for me, I used Envious Flame, and the attacks collided in the air… my spell won the exchange, but only a small flame hit the monster's face… the creature didn't even flinch.
Still, I was already in range to swing down the sword with all my might… I imagined it swinging it so fast that it would be hard to see… but even from my perspective, it was slow as fuck…
The monster stopped the blade with its hands, but at least the weapon pierced the flesh enough to make some blood gush from the wound.
"Bye, bitch."
Before the monster could do anything else, I bombarded its face with Envious Flame. After the third hit, the monster tried to protect its face, but all the dark fur still burned and melted the face of the creature… I was hoping for the best to resist for a bit, but soon it fell on the ground, dead.

"I guess this fucker wasn't that strong, but at least my guess was right."
I pulled the Sword and tried to act cool and swing it to get rid of blood… It was easier said than done. I hit the ground and made the weapon shake for a while alongside my arm.
"At least let me look cool, damnit."
The first fight had been pretty embarrassing, but I learned a few things about the monsters, so it was fine. Before long, another hairy thing appeared, and I had the chance to put my experience to test.
The monster started by using spit a bunch of times. Still, I dodged them all and used the time between them to count how fast it could shot others… after that, I charged in with all my might ready to swing down the sword at the head of the beast. This time, the creature used both hands to grab my weapon and stop the attack… or at least it tried.
Before the blade could reach the hands of the monster, I used Envious Flame that exploded on the face of the beast. When the monster was blinded by the attack, and the flames were spreading, it soon felt the blade piercing its eyes deeply, and before long, the monster stopped moving.

"Crap… now the blade is dirty with bodily fluids as well, and a bit of brain. Crap. What is wrong with me by thinking like this after seeing brain matter for the first time?"
That felt concerning… at least for the next five seconds, and soon I went on with my day. In any case, while I decreased the use of magic to a single shot per enemy. I still didn't feel satisfied with that… I considered using Subjugation in one of them, but it wouldn't work since I couldn't kick their ass without using some tricks. That wouldn't be enough to make such monsters my minions. There was also the issue that such monsters could only work in the dungeon…
{The Sin of Wrath received 100 experience points.}

{The Sin of Wrath leveled up. Power has increased by two points.}
{The Sin of Wrath reached level live. You have learned the skill Power of Hatred.}
{Power of Hatred: passively increases your power by one point per level when facing users of all the other sins.}
"Hmm, not bad, I guess. Since it is a passive. Still, why these names are so edgy and emo? Was the other guy who named them like that?"
Putting that aside, the sword felt lighter in my hands, and I could swing it a bit faster… hopefully, now I could slice the hands of those freaks when they tried to stop my attacks like that. After swinging the sword in the air a few times, I felt satisfied with the progress and then resumed my journey in the dungeon.
Along the way, I felt a few times the feeling that Roskarl was nearby, but as usual, the feeling soon disappeared when I noticed that… In any case, when the next monster suddenly emerged from the ground, I charged with all my might… the beast only had time to block the attack with a single hand… but half of it fell on the ground.
