He soon resumed his travels and followed the river. The river will lead him to his destination where the falls were located. After paving the road on the riverside, he can finally hear the heavy downpour of the waters against the rocks. Basking on the trickling moisture that it makes, he concluded that he has arrived.
He was at a towering Falls and he was on its footing. Beneath was the entrance into their lair. Ferns were thick and their sprouts were ready to be picked. Having been showered by the droplets of falls made them grow abundantly. The ferns danced as they were being showered upon and they were in good nurturing.
It was in a cave with waterfalls. Kenji then paved the wet floor of the cave and his boots were soaked. Passing through some rushing waters from above that soaked him wet. He soon arrived at the entrance which the waters were covering without blocking the path.
Guarding them were cultists nonetheless. It was concluded after he saw the markings of their cult, he immediately realized that it was their base.
Kenji then entered and attacked their lair. Two guards were present in the doorway and they stood with great vigilance. Kenji then attacked them without further ado.
"Who are you? You are not a member!" he shouted.
"Indeed I am! Care to explain how you guessed it right?" Kenji asked.
He immediately ran towards them and slashed their heads off after a tiring battle. One was shouting with every hit and one was very talkative while their weapons clashed.
Kenji was amused but they needed to be killed. And so, he killed them as they tried to stop him. Looting their bodies, he looted the key on the door. It was made of bronze and so he was pleased. Having a key saves time compared to lock-picking the door.
He unlocked the door with a clunk and entered the caverns. The first place was a hollow cave with a bridge. A rushing river was beneath it and several fishes were seen jumping out of the waters. It was cut off from the other side so he needs to put it down first. Killing his way through and then looting some more chests.
Stumbling on one bucket made the whole cave echo. The wind was whooshing inside and the rushing river reverberated on the place.
The place was humid and the cold crept inside his clothes. Making the skin moisten with droplets. His eyelashes were trickled with moisture and it made him have cold eyes. Only the warmth of the torches was what made him alleviate his cold feet.
Kenji arrived on a bridge that was cut from the other side. Scanning the surroundings, he saw the lever that he needed to use.
The bridge then was put down from the other side using a lever then it sounded as if it attached on the other side. He crossed it then the wooden bridge creaked after he stepped on it. Making him stop midway and then continued.
"Who's there?" the enemies were alerted after he opened the bridge.
Enemies then ran towards them. The enemies then have their weapons and shields equipped from the other side of the bridge. Kenji then assaulted their formation and he battled them with great vigor. Having great stamina was indeed helpful. He battered the enemy shields with his slashes and only a small amount of stamina was used.
Battering left and right, enemies were dumbfounded. They were shocked by how he was able to exert such stamina and prowess. Not even giving time to rest or time to have a breather. Making their blocks a little bit weak. Their arms were failing to lift their shields as the bones on their arms broke.
They soon were furiously slashed by Kenji after he break their blocks. Making their blood spurt out which killed them immediately.
He looted them after they died and found 7 gold coins. The gold coins sounded after they entered his coin pouch with a cling.
Kenji then arrived at a more spacious place. Still, mosses littered the place. He immediately saw cultists having a drinking party at their tables. Kenji immediately attacked them and then the cultists saw him. Kenji immediately equipped his weapons on his back and then attacked them. The enemies have weapons mixed from maces to swords. Some were axes and hammers.
Kenji then slashed one with his sword and then the enemy fell with just one wound on the chest. Kenji then was attacked with dark missiles from the enemies in the distance. Dark missiles hit his shield and Kenji tried to evade several others.
Kenji then attacked them with his ranged basic attack.
Reap Slash!3x
Chained Scythe!3x
Soul Fire! Soul Fire! Soul Fire!
Soul Explosion!
Chipping their health points slowly. They used their weapons on him whilst they attacked and then Kenji blocked their weapons. Retaliating with a counter to their onslaught. Dealing fatal damage as his slash made a critical.
He Reaped their Vital stats and Stats on the battle while hitting them. Making him have numerous stats received.

Kenji then attacked and then the enemies were all killed with his weapon. Looting them up gave him a few gold coins.
It was then, that he arrived at their campfire. The cooking pit was hung with salmon, and grilled on the heat and the cooking pot still has gruel cooked inside. Kenji then took a seat and then ate to warm up his tummy. Food in the enemy camps was not poisoned so why would they serve something like it for themselves?
He was warmed up and full then he followed the path.
Kenji then saw brown mushrooms and took a handful. Puts it inside his backpack. Collecting several ingredients for cooking in the cooking pit. Like salt and ham, cheese, pork ribs, and salmon. Pepper also and several spices like leeks, onion, garlic, and ginger.
All ingredients were put inside and will be cooked in the future.
