Dungeon of the Vengeful (3)

"Come at me big boy!" Enzo shouted at the Zombie Leader.

The monster charged at him with its spear raised once again.

This time Enzo didn't run.

The zombie stabbed its spear in the direction of Enzo's face once it got close enough.

Enzo easily dodged the spear. It flew right past his ear without touching it.

He then started running towards the zombie as it pulled the spear back.

Spears may be great long range melee weapons that do a good job of keeping opponents from getting close, but their weakness would be shown once an opponent was able to get close.

Enzo sprinted through the legs of the zombie and stabbed one dagger through the crotch of the beast and the other dagger was used to create a deep gash on the back of its left leg.

-200

Due to the Crotch Collector title, Enzo was able to deal more damage than usual to the monster than if he just did a normal attack to its crotch. Enzo may be extremely embarrassed and upset about the title, but there was no way he wouldn't be taking advantage of it.

[Critical hit!]

-420

The Zombie gave one last growl of pain before he collapsed to the ground.

[You have defeated the first Boss of the Dungeon of Vengeance!]

[+100 Exp]

[+500 Boss Monster Exp Bonus]

[+1 Dungeon Key]

Rumble!

A large opening appeared in the wall on the opposite side of the one he entered through, which still was closed. It was obviously the exit to the dungeon or at least to the next part of it.

'What is a dungeon key?'

Enzo looked into his inventory for the object and once he found it he pulled it out to inspect it.

[Dungeon Key (Dungeon of the Vengeful)]

[A key used to unlock one of the treasure chests in the treasure room of the dungeon (1 use left)]

"Interesting." Enzo mumbled.

He then went to the corpse of the zombie and pulled out his dagger before taking out his katana and stabbing it into the corpse. He waited for the katana to absorb the blood before he looted the beast, but then something surprising happened.

Ding!

[Ravenous Blood Drinker has gained a full stat point increase.]

"Huh?!"

The katana wasn't supposed to gain a full increase just yet because Enzo hadn't killed a total of 100 monsters, but after some thought he realized what may have caused it.

"Boss monsters must count towards more than one kill…" He mumbled.

Enzo then took the katana out and looted the corpse of the zombie.

[+1 Zombie Leader Chestplate (2 Star)]

Enzo took the chestplate out of his inventory and looked at it.

In his hands was the same leather chestplate the zombie wore, but much smaller. The chestplate was very basic and just a plain brown color.

[Zombie Leader Chestplate (2 Star)]

[Description: The chestplate of the Zombie Leader Boss monster from the Dungeon of the Vengeful.]

[+1 Strength]

[+1 Vitality]

'Nice.'

The chestplate shrunk to fit Enzo like a glove after he put it on.

'Menu.'

Enzo liked that the game told him just how many stats he was getting from his gear, but the main thing he noticed was the change in his health points.

Previously they were stuck at 100 no matter how many points he added into vitality. The only explanation for this that Enzo could think of was that maybe players had to reach above 5 points in vitality before their health stat would increase.

Regardless of whether that was the reason or not, Enzo was very happy that his health stat finally increased. Now he wouldn't have to worry so much about getting hit by monsters or other players and would be able to increase other stats.

If he could take more hits before it became a danger to his life, then that meant having a higher agility stat wouldn't be as important because not dodging an attack wouldn't be as life threatening.

He still would be putting a lot of his focus into agility, but not all of his stat points would be spent on it. Instead, strength and vitality could be upgraded as well.

Enzo dismissed the stats screen and made his way to the opening in the wall that served as the only exit available in this room.

It led Enzo to another corridor that was lit again by the glowing blue crystals instead of the torches that were in the boss room.

After a few minutes of walking Enzo finally reached the next room.

The room was identical to the very first room of the dungeon Enzo was placed in. It was a long and wide cavern with a hole in the wall some distance away from him that most likely led to another corridor.

Before he fully entered the room, Enzo sat down and leaned against the wall of the corridor from the boss room. He was feeling slightly tired from all the fighting.

While it only felt like 30 or so minutes had passed since he entered the dungeon, it actually has been a few hours!

Enzo decided to browse the forums as he rested, because he promised himself earlier he would check them more often. It was not good to be so disconnected with the rest of the games population as he previously was.

It took a while for Enzo to find an interesting thread, so he set the thread list to sort by popularity.

He then tapped on the most popular thread of the day and read it. Surprisingly, it ended up being something more closely related to him than he thought it would be.
