Esdras dodged the arrow aimed at his head and kicked off the charging Troglodyte to his left, with a quick slice it's head was removed.
Then he jumped in the air, evading the two spears aimed at him from both sides. In the that time he looked around and estimated that the number of Troglodytes here was 28.
They were thirty before he killed those two. A little more than expected, a pleasant surprise.
He landed on the two intertwined spears and crushed them with his weight, bringing the two Troglodytes stumbling closer.
They could only see a white light cutting through the air before everything went dark for eternity.
He raised his left hand and blocked the bone club from the left, it looks like he was in trouble because the two archers were about to shoot and make him a pincushion.
But he had an idea, the bone club which was held in a contest of strength between the two of them lost his support and the Troglodyte was taken aback by the sudden lack of resistance.
Esdras sidestep behind it and stabbed through it and held on, not allowing the corps to fall of.
As expected the two arrows struck the brave Troglodyte who sacrificed himself for the greater good. But it wasn't done yet!
Esdras started running while propping the corpse in front of him, two more arrows struck the poor bastard but it didn't even utter a single complaint.
He always wanted to try this move.
He then kicked off the corpse of the hero on to one of the panicked archer Troglodytes and at almost the same time he slashed it diagonally.
The other one was running and was able to hide behind a another mob of angry Troglodytes. He was annoyed but it didn't matter.
He channeled Vigor throughout his body and in one single motion a blur of cold sword light split the five Troglodytes in half.
It was so strong that smoke was released from the sword after it cut through them like that.
Esdras saw something interesting on the bodies of one of the Troglodytes, it was a hemp bag stuffed with half-meter long javelins, smirking, he took it.
With a lightning quick movement he performed a backflip and landed behind the Troglodyte that was trying to backstab him and stabbed through it simply.
Looking at himself he was starting to understand that he was capable of so much, it was just his own imagination and limited thoughts that stopped him.
*Crash!*
There was a huge claw mark on the wall and some cracks, one would think that a bear left that mark but it was the result of a skill, [Beastial claw].
This skill injured Esdras badly to the point he couldn't go on if he didn't use a heath potion.
And even now it would have been a bad attack to get hit by, which is why he dodged it and slit the throat of the Troglodyte that tried that.
He looked at the remaining Troglodytes with an amused expression, most of them froze in fear after he kill five of them at once with his Vigor attack.
But a stupid one thought he could ambush him with the skill and ended up dead.
The rest broke out in fear and rushed to the door only it was firmly closed, it would take some time before they could clear it out and they didn't have any.
*Flop!*
Just as he was about to slaughter these monsters, one of them fell on it's knees in front of Esdras.
"Jagaka neas!*"
He didn't understand what it was saying but he still understood, it was begging for it's life and surrendering.
"…what?"
Esdras didn't think he would see this kind of behavior from a monster. His raised sword fell, he was in a strange state. He didn't expect this…
To think these bags of EXP would offer up themselves to him?!
Esdras swung his sword and killed it at once. For that begging he gave it a swift death.
"Thank you for the EXP." He offered that sincere gratitude for it.
And then the one-sided slaughter ensued.
As for sparing it for surrendering? Forget it. These monster were just as willing to kill him a second ago. If he wasn't as strong as he was now he would have ended up eaten already.
He did not doubt himself for a single moment.
[+480 EXP]
Holy smokes! Esdras cursed while drinking two health potions, in the end he was injured when the desperate Troglodytes launched a desperate attack.
But that amount of EXP was definitely worth it. This is the true value of the dungeon to him, the loot was good but it was EXP that he truly lacked in the outside world.
Speaking of loot, he started opening up the corpses of the Troglodytes one by one, it was a process which had become familiar to him.
And he found a new type of potion, a low stamina potion, in total he got four potions of stamina and seven of health.
The last Troglodyte he tried to loot exploded and a treasure chest appeared in its place. Literally.
Esdras took several steps back and blinked, then with some hesitation he opened the lid of the wooden treasure chest and found a ring.
[Storage ring]: Uncommon grade magic item, it has a small spatial area, it can store any object that does not contain a complete soul.
There it is. Esdras picked it eagerly, he knew he would need one of these. But the mages of this world didn't have anything like this.
Truly a low level world.
Fortunately the dungeon was a place where miracles can happen.
However after examining it, he came to a frustrating conclusion, he had to reach level 3 apprentice before he could use it.
It required mana and he had none as of now. Well, having it is better than not having it, right?
