Problem on the 6th floor

Amelia the supporter was taken aback after Kai was pulling the metallic spear out of something. To be exact, it looked like he was using spatial magic as the blue portal appeared next to him.

"Mister Kai? Who really are you? What kind of magic you are using right now." Amelia said in a puzzled tone.

Yeah, she was expecting this man could be a strong adventurer as he was having a solo expedition. However, she never expected that she will able to see the ability that new to her eyes.

"What are you saying? I just take something out of my inventory--?" Kai paused for a second, realizing the inventory he had doesn't exist to the other adventurers in the Deranium city.

Moreover, he decided to won't answer the confused little girl in the meantime, as there were 7 goblins charging in front of him.

"Stay in your consciousness, Amelia! Show me your worth, hide in a safe place but not too far." Kai ordered her while waiting for the monsters to attain a closer distance.

She narrowly flinched as Kai's voice awakened her senses. After that, she hid behind the large boulder that had enough distance to see the battle between Kai and seven aggressive goblins.

She saw Kai standing in the straight spacious area that was surrounded by the magical lights. Based on her observation, this man was waiting for the monsters to come at him which was true. Yet, her eyes started trembling after discovering the swift movements of this man.

[Thorn dash!]

And again, to increase his physical damage, he was dashing toward the monster narrowly touching them with the spear's endpoint to put a blue mark under their feet.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

None of the monsters utilizing knives and swords successfully landed a contact with Kai, as the movements of this man were invincible to the monsters.

Kai had a grin on his face as he was already dashed toward the last monster, which means the [Thorn dash] passive effect would be activated. "Let's see how strong I am right now..."

Without making any second thoughts, Kai used his [deadly reach] skill on the monster that was exactly three meters away from him. He strongly pushed forward his spear, rotating it mildly, and aiming for the monster's head.

Swish!

Suddenly, his spear was making a piercing sound, showing how dangerous that attack was. When the moment the spear reached the monster's head, it created a shockwave that blew its head into green particles.

Swish!

Green blood was splashed on the dried surface, but the monster's head can't be found. It seemed like his attack could erase any part of the monster's body.

"That's an easy one," Kai said, then continued to attack the 6 remaining monsters that looked terrified after witnessing how cruel happened to the other Goblin.

"I-It's unbelievable, I perfectly saw his attacks... Every time his weapon makes a contact, it never leaves any traits." Amelia stuttered, wondering why a strong adventurer like him doing on the 6th floor.

Furthermore, Kai continued to attack the monsters with the same strategy and same skills. Through this, he can conserve his stamina, and be able to fight numerous monsters that would come at him.

Their battle just lasted around 6 minutes, as all the seven Goblin corpses were lying on the surface without their heads and some of them had 3 inches radius holes on their bodies.

Kai raised his hand, calling the little girl hiding behind the large boulder that was 35 meters away from his current location. "Hey, Amelia! Come over here, and do your job!" He said in a mild tone and his voice echoed throughout the place.

And again, his voice helped Amelia to awaken her senses, as she could not believe what her eyes were seeing right now. 'Usually, five D-rank adventurers could defeat seven goblins in nearly 15 minutes, but mister Kai killed all of them around 6 minutes, it's impossible.' She uttered to her mind, then started to do her job.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

While carrying a large bag, Amelia finished seizing the monsters' cores for around 30 seconds and picked up their knives.

'Despite her age, she's quite fast and skillful using the knife that she had.' Kai talk to himself, impressed by this little girl's work.

"We are done, master Kai! We can advance to the next location." Amelia said, patting her knees to remove the dust plastered to them.

"Eh? Why are you calling me a master? Where did you get that?" He said.

"Nothing, master Kai! I'm just impressed with your ability and your massive power." She was just saying the things she saw in his battle.

He gently patted her head, "Don't call me master Kai because I'm not good as you thought. Instead... call me brother Kai since I'm way older than you, okay?" He smiled at her.

"I understand, brother Kai." She smiled back, then started to walk behind him.

"Good, little girl." He took a glance at her in the corner of his eyes. "Give me that bag, Amelia. I'll carry it for you."

She shook her head as she refused. "Sorry, brother Kai, but I can't do that. I'm here to work, not to have a babysitter."

"Hehe~, you're right. But if you can't carry it anymore just let me know, okay?"

"No."

Ten minutes had passed, but Kai just fought three monsters that total exactly ten monsters. "What's going on here? We are already in the middle part of the 6th-floor, supposedly numerous monsters would come at me right now. Just like what happened to me yesterday." Kai kneaded his chin, wondering if the monsters' number on this floor started to decrease.

[You've received 171 EXP from killing 3 Goblins!]

[Level: 11 (568/1280)]

[Suggestion(s): fight stronger monsters to attain higher EXP!]

"Did you know the rumor, brother Kai?" Amelia said to him as she seemed to have information about what was going on here.

"What rumor, Amelia?"

"I heard from the adventurers, that there was a strong monster roaming on this floor, that's why the goblins here started to hide." Since she spends most of her time at the Nocturnal tower's entrance, she can't be helped to hear the conversation of the other adventurers.

Just like what Alexa said to him earlier, there was an unknown monster here that stopped the goblins from coming out. If this continued it will be bad for him. Why? It was because he can't bring Amelia to the upper floor as the wolves there were obviously faster than the Goblin, which can instantly attack Amelia.

"We can't do anything, Amelia. For now, let's hunt possible monsters we can kill on this floor." Kai suggested.

"Yes,"

While peacefully walking on the 6th-floor, Amelia was starting to ask him random questions. To be exact, all the new things she saw from him earlier. "Brother Kai, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, Amelia. Just tell me what is it." He replied nonchalantly, but don't have an intention to lower his guard because of the possible sneak attacks.

"What is your current rank, brother Kai?" Amelia thought since Kai was using a spear as his main weapon, it was too obvious that he was a Lancer. This was her reason why she didn't ask him about his class.

"I'm currently in the D+ rank, Amelia. Why did you ask?"

"You're just a D+, I thought you were already at the peak of B rank since you are too strong, and the monsters for you here it's just like an insect." She said.

"Oh, come on, Amelia, don't make me blush. But that's the truth, I'm an ordinary D+" Kai smiled at him, noticing they were nearly reaching the stairs that way to the 7th floor.

"It's kinda unbelievable because that's not the movements of D-rank adventurers, I'm certain with that. But since you are the one who said, I would believe it."

She smiled at her, not looking at the stairs, instead, looking at the further part of the 6th-floor. But before that, she asked him the question that kept bothering her mind. "Brother Kai, this is my question. What kind of magi skill did you use to take this spear? It looked like you were taking it out of the blue thing."

Kai looked at her with a straight face, admitting that he was careless when he used the inventory function in front of this little girl. "It's my secret skill, so please, don't tell it to anyone, okay?"

"Oh... A secret skill. But I promise I would let anyone know about this." She replied, showing how much she was trustworthy.

"That's good to hear."

Both of them stopped when he reached the stairs, thinking if they were going to the 7th floor, or strolling in the deeper part of the 6th floor.

Hmm... It's hard to decide because of the rumor spreading about the 6th floor. At this point, the screen helped him to decide as it gave him a new task.
