"Finally. Although I have the confidence to face three beasts at the same time and win with my statistics, I prefer to make sure. " Arthur breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the notification from his system in his head. The messages from his system she tossed at the back of his head and focused on what was in front of him.

"Karhhh!"

"Krhhhh!

"Kakaka!"

Several angry growls were heard a few feet ahead of Arthur. Three goblins with small fresh cuts on their green skin stared at Arthur with murderous eyes. The goblins just looked at Arthur with deep hatred. No goblin had the courage to be the first to attack Arthur for fear of being his next victim.

A few inches below Arthur's feet, a small pool of fresh blood could be seen releasing a sour smell into the air. This fresh blood belonged neither more nor less to the corpse of a goblin that rested a few meters from Arthur.

The corpse of this goblin had an extensive cut across its throat. The dead goblin's head was attached to his neck by small pieces of skin that Arthur could not cut off in time. This goblin killed and turned into experience for Arthur was one of the companions of these goblins who were currently facing him.

After slaying the two goblins twenty minutes ago, Arthur continued to advance through the dungeon via the stone path and soon came across more beasts. As he had thought before, the enemies he was facing increased in number as he advanced further into the dungeon.

Goblins in F-rank dungeons had a number that reached almost two hundred numbers thanks to their incredible ability to reproduce, and these numbers of their kind were twice as high when a hunter entered the E-rank dungeons.

Arthur, if at first he had to fight against a single goblin and achieved victory, later he had to face two at the same time and so on.

Which at first was difficult for Arthur since he was someone inexperienced in hand-to-hand combat and had never faced multiple numbers at once. He had never such a thing happened in his two years as a hunter as he was always protected by his fellow hunters.

Arthur managed to survive by relying on his physical abilities superior to his enemies. While on the one hand Arthur had to concentrate on attacking a goblin to kill him, on the other hand, he also had to have part of his attention on the movements of the other goblins.

Currently, Arthur had already fought a few minutes ago against the three goblins and was able to emerge victorious, but it consists of several infectious wounds on his body.

Besides that, he had one other problem in particular. Arthur while fighting, discovered something important in his system. Arthur found that his senses were too slow for the speed at which his body was moving.

Simply put, he couldn't keep up with the speed of his own body.

After these events, Arthur hesitated to continue with the dungeon since he was injured and tired, but his emotion of leveling up him had overcome him and he decided to continue. He now he was sorry for his stupid decision.

"Although it is also a good thing that this is happening." Arthur said as he felt his body tired and his exhaustion disappear from one moment to the next after leveling up. Furthermore, his mana had fully recovered. He until now he had only been struggling with his enhanced stats after using his ability eight times. Which means that Arthur has already been fighting for several minutes and has only managed to kill one goblin.

The goblins in front of him were shocked when they saw that his wounds had healed in an instant.

"I'll get this over with quickly before I leave this place." Arthur said as he assigned his points in his status window.

[Perception: 10]

After increasing his perception of him, Arthur felt noticeable improvements in his five senses. He felt that his senses were finally compatible with his body. Even the goblins' movements were slowing down for Arthur with his enhanced attribute.

Concentrating the strength of his legs, Arthur ran towards the three goblins to kill them quickly as he activated his ability that gave him a physical enhancement.

[Mana: 450/500]

[Physical Strengthening]

Boom!

Arthur appeared in a flash in front of the stunned goblins.

Fiuck!

Splatter!

Arthur used all the brute force in his arms and stabbed his short sword into the top of the head of one of the goblins. His strength was so great that the sword easily penetrated the goblin's skull.

[You have earned 100 XP.]

Confirming the goblin's death, Arthur quickly withdrew his weapon. After withdrawing the sword from him, Arthur prepared to kill the other goblins, but in that short interval of time, the other two goblins were already attacking him from two different directions.

"Agh!" Arthur made a low groan of pain as new wounds appeared on his legs and abdomen. The goblins seeing that his attacks were successful, tried to get away from Arthur immediately.

Although the goblins were not intelligent beings, after seeing how their companion was easily killed by Arthur, they knew that his strength was less than his. Under normal circumstances he would have fled, but his instincts told him that they could win this fight with more numbers. Being beasts that only followed his instincts, the goblins listened to them.

"No, you are not going to escape!" Resisting the burning of his wounds, Arthur grabbed one of the goblins by the neck who couldn't get away in time.

"Bastard!" Arthur said angrily as he killed the goblin by burying his gun in his head.

[You have earned 100 XP.]

After killing another goblin, Arthur turned around and looked at the last goblin. Feeling his gaze, the goblin recoiled in fear. Leaving only one leprechaun remaining, the rest was a simple task for Arthur. In just a few seconds all the goblins were dead around him and blood permeated the air.

[You have earned 100 XP.]

[EXP: 300/800]

[Balance: 100]

Arthur released a weary sigh. He wasn't physically tired, but he was mentally tired after concentrating for so long. He felt his head throb. "I am not yet ready to fight beasts. In these two years as a hunter I was always protected. It will take me a while to get used to and get to the same level as novice hunters. "

Arthur stared at the bloody scene around him for a few seconds. Then he turned his gaze from him to the path that had yet to be explored. "I think there is still a lot to discover. Sigh ... I better get out of this dungeon. "

[Do you want to get out of the dungeon?]

"Yes." Arthur said. In an instant he felt like his surroundings were deformed and again he couldn't help but close his eyes.

When he opened them again, he realized that he was sitting in the same place before being teleported to that mysterious dungeon. Seeing behind him the portal in which he almost died, Arthur distanced himself several meters.

He was not yet ready to explore an E rank dungeon. Not now, in the future yes. Looking at the celestial sky that was still the same before entering the F rank dungeon, Arthur was completely shocked.
