Several hours have passed when I fought the group of the caster.
I used that time to recover and get rid of the corpses. Since I killed so many it did take me quite a while to clean up this whole mess.
I placed all their weapons in the boxes near the throne where I kept all the other weapons while dragging the corpses outside of the cave. I even put down the "lovely" decoration together with the remaining corpses and started a fire outside.
The corpses didn′t actually bother me much, but that didn′t mean I liked them either. After all, seeing a decayed corpse with flies and worms eating to what was left to this Flesh wasn′t that nice of a sight.
Even though I cleaned up the whole mess they were still some stuff that I couldn′t do. For example, the throne was completely destroyed while blood and ashes were still in the ground. Although I could try to make a new throne or a chair to sit down and bring some water with some buckets to clean this whole mess I decided not to do it.
Since I had other plans in mind.
"I should even have recovered enough for me to start..." I silently called the status interface.

[Remark: A abnormal Skeleton that awakened this death aura. Although current you are pathetically weak, your potential just started to sprout.]
"Yeah, it should be fine even without having my health maxed out..." I went towards the weapon box and picked some daggers and headed outside the cave.
My goal was to chase down the remaining 11 goblins!
Although I don′t know which one of the paths they went.
In the end, there are only 3 paths they could go! Even if I don′t find them at one of the paths, those goblins could only be at the other two paths!
Finding their home would only be a matter of time.
I didn′t really want to hunt those goblins for the sake of revenge.
No.
I had three goals in mind.
First of all, XP!
I by now realized that the status is a pure endless abyss to spend your XP into! Currently, I was only increasing my level and not my skills. Even though increasing my level seemed relatively effective thus far, that didn′t mean that it will always be so.
The caster goblin in a sense only used these skills and he was already a threat.
Second! I need weapons.
As for weapon′s I mean the spears that those two helmet goblins got. Their spears seemed relatively the same as the one I was using and the quality wasn′t that bad...And if I am lucky enough I could possibly find a sword with a shield as a replacement.
And lastly... a new home!
Even though I cleaned most of the mess, it is by far not all!
I have already notice flies gathering to the ground and to in the holes of the walls! Not to forget that without any water nearby I can′t clean up the dried up blood in the ground. Just imaging walking on top of dry-up goblin blood with flies all over the place makes me already disgusted.
Sure, I could get some buckets of water and clean all of this mess but that would take way too long!
By the time I went to the lake and back at the cave I could even explore the remaining paths or simple train!
It isn′t that I am lazy, ok? I am simple for maximum efficiency!
Alright?
Not lazy at all!
Anyways those are the reasons for me to go and hunt down those goblins.
But as I went outside the cave a sudden thought came to my mind.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about it!" I went back inside and short after I was outside yet again.
"Much better" Currently I had the staff that I got from the goblin caster in my shoulder resting with a self-made bag tied to the staff.
Having checked all the stuff that I need I went towards the lake!
And after a little more than two hours I already reached my destination!
"Even though I have already seen it, it still amazes me how beautiful this lake is..." The shiny stones which beautifully illuminated the lake were as beautiful as I remember them. Even though it wasn′t that long ago the sight still amazes me.
"I wonder what is up there..." I raised my head and my gaze landed on what was directly above the lake. Above the lake, you could see a giant hole that almost had the same length as the lake that was beneath it. The whole shape was so circular that it almost seemed artificial.
"One of those paths might lead directly at the top of this hole, but this isn′t my goal for now..." I shook my head and regained focus on the current task.
I picked myself up and headed towards the two paths that I haven′t explored yet. As both two paths were relatively close to each other I blankly stood their bindery which one to take.
"I might as well with those two since they are both so close, but the question is which one first?" They look relatively the same in my eyes, so it shouldn′t matter too much which one to take. At the very least I can go back to the other one if there isn′t anything to see.
While I stared at those two paths like a frozen statue my eyes got a glimpse at the path of the left.
In the left path, I noticed some tiny amount of blood on the top of a pointing small rock.
"Hmm? Blood? Did a goblin step up to this stone or something?" I went to my knees and picked up the stone for a closer look.
"Dry, as expected. It doesn′t prove much but a lead is a lead. The chances of the goblins being in this path are high."
Having found some kind of lead I headed towards the left path hoping to meet those goblins.
And thus, my figure faded through the dark path only for my silhouette to be seen.
And even my silhouette has faded through the darkness, for nothing to been seen.
But at that time I didn′t know that the decision of me choosing to go to the left path might as well saved my life.
A few minutes after going to the left path...
*Thuad
Some noises could be heard.
*Thuad
Noice of multiple footsteps could be heard from far away.

And slowly some Silloutes came to sight out of the right path.
Those with no blood nor flesh have emerged from the right path. With swords full of blood followed by voices of emptiness.
"Kghhh..." The sounds of cold breath came out of those who can′t breathe.
And he was not the only one among them.
Several skeletons walked almost in a complete union which amplified the sounds of their footsteps. Those skeletons looked and acted the same.
Weapons full of blood with the same feeling of emptiness.
Except for one.
In the middle of that undead, there was one exception.
It had just like the other skeletons a sword full of blood, but this sword was longer and larger than the others with some dark glowing runes in the middle of the blade. Which made it easier to see the amount of blood in the blade.
But suddenly some dead mana surrounded the blade and like an instead, the huge amount of blood that was on the blade vanished with no traces to see.
And as the group of undead came out of the right path they suddenly stopped and made some space for this skeleton to wall forward.
Walking in front of the other skeletons he revealed these dark blue ethereal eyes! They looked like some raging flames put inside this skull.
With the middle of those flames being the brightness as if it was an iris of an eye.
This blue-eyed skeleton turned its head and gazed towards the left path.
"Another...born...?" With a low voice full of emptiness. He stared at the left path for a short amount of time before changing this face to another direction.
"Follow..."
And that direction was towards the third path.
With this command told, the rest of the undead follow without hesitation.
The noise of the footstep could almost be heard from all over the place.
But the noise slowly faded away in the distance of the third path.
Together with the dark blue ethereal flames.free(w)ebnov(e)l
