Chapter 10 Clearing the labyrinth caves (Part 1)

On her way to the entrance/exit of the labyrinth caves Yukikaze didn`t had any problems and reached the small waterfall next to the entrance/exit within an hour. Yukikaze was now standing in front of the cave entrance/exit and was already thinking about all the treasures and skill that could be down there. On the other hand she wants to be done with the labyrinth caves rather quickly.

` Lets hope my preparations are enough and I won`t have to make this trip another time. ` Yukikaze took a last breath of fresh air and started running inside the labyrinth caves for the second time.

It took her a while until she reached the point at which the passages started to part from each other.

` When I was on my way out I had to go right so from my point of view I came from the left. To get the best chances of treasures I have to go right here to get into uncharted lands. `

Yukikaze went the left way and followed yet again another very long and boring passage. But surprisingly she didn`t reach another intersection. Instead it was just a gigantic cave. She couldn`t even see the other side. She was able to look kilometres and couldn`t see any other wall except the one she came out.

But one thing woke her interest. In the distance she could make out a bridge and a path.

` A path will lead me to more useful stuff. Maybe I can even find a good treasure or a really strong skill. I could probably use both. `

Quest: Find the main treasure of the Temple of the Undead

Difficulty: Normal

Reward:

+ 2 Level

+ 10 Perception

+ 5 Endurance

+10 Intelligence

+ 150 Knowledge Coins

Time remaining: 6 hours

` A new quest with good rewards. But Temple of the Undead. I don`t think I really want to fight against zombies yet. ` Yukikaze really didn`t wanted to fight against zombies with just her (Bite Lv.4) and her (Claw Lv.4).

` But the Quest didn`t say I had to fight any. Maybe I can just sneak past them with (Camouflage Lv.3). ` It took Yukikaze 20 minutes to reach the bridge that after closer observation was the only path over a giant abyss. Yukikaze couldn`t even see the ground because of a strange mist that seemed to be down there.

But she didn`t wanted to cross without knowing how deep it is. So Yukikaze grabbed a nearby stone and started to count the seconds until she heard the stone hitting the ground.

She waited...

and waited...

and waited...

After two minutes Yukikazes patients was running thin and she decided to simply cross.

After she left the bridge she followed the path in front of her to lead her to someplace of interest. Yukikaze followed the path for an hour and managed to reach ruins of houses. Seeing the size it can`t be more than 30 houses.

She entered the village and looked for any ruins that look like there might be something of worth for her to take. After she reached the village square she looked around and didn`t find any outstanding buildings nearby.

Then her (Defuser Lv.1) skill send warning signals to her and Yukikaze realized that this village is a trap. She quickly jumped on the well in the middle of the square, just in time to dodge a skeleton hand to burst out of the ground trying to grab her. Shortly afterwards 5 Human Skeletons with stone swords crawled out of the ground and started to move towards her.

Yukikaze quickly activated (Dash Lv.3) and ran up to one of the 5 Skeletons. During her run she quickly used (Appraisal Lv.2)

Name: (No name)

Race: Skeleton Foot soldier (Human)

Grade: Common

HP: 100/100

( (Appraisal Lv.2) successfully upgraded to (Appraisal Lv.3) . You can now look all kinds of Objects. Leveling (Appraisal Lv.3) will enhance the amount and type of information given towards the Host)

Yukikaze ignored the message and slashed at the hips with (Claw Lv.4) killing the skeleton in one hit.

- 117 HP

` I thought it would be harder to defeat the undead. There will probably be stronger ones later on. `

She took the Stone sword of the now completely dead skeleton in her mouth and threw it at a skeleton that tried to attack her from behind.

-100 HP

The Stone sword normally would have just done 50 HP damage but because of her strength with which she threw the stone sword and the fact that she managed to get a critical hit on the hip it killed the skeleton in just one hit.

`Okay three Skeletons remaining. I can do that without a problem. `

The remaining three Skeletons now saw that the small fox in front of them isn`t weak they started to surround her to attack from all sides. Yukikaze noticed this and prepared herself. She let the Skeletons surround her and waited for them to attack.

The Skeletons all attacked at the same time but Yukikaze dodged by jumping in the air with (Jump Lv.3). The skeletons crashed into each other and were now in a big pile. After Yukikaze lost her momentum and fell back towards the ground.

She activated (Bite Lv.4) and (Claw Lv.4) to Attack the skeletons who were still entangled into a pile of bones. The Level of Yukikazes skills and her strength as well as her high speed from falling managed to boost her attack three times as much as normal.

- 351 HP

- 351 HP

- 405 HP

All the skeletons died but Yukikaze didn`t relaxed and kept herself on high alert in case there are more skeletons. But after she didn`t notice anything even if she waited 5 minutes and her (Defuser Lv.1) skill also stating that everything is fine she started to move out the way she came to prevent anymore encounters with the undead. She has a Quest to complete and she was running out of time.

Remaining time to finish the Quest: 4 hours 33 minutes 48 seconds.

` I have to hurry if I want to complete this Quest. `
