Dungeon Cleared

During his charge, Calvin used Block to endure the barrage of arrows and spells coming at him.

After two seconds have passed, the effect of charge ran out as Calvin slowly returned to his normal full speed. Unfortunately, he was still quite a few meters away from the three goblins and he can't afford to forcefully use charge again as even now, he's leg is aching.

He could barely treat it as nothing but a nuisance but if he did it again, the pain will be enough for his legs to go weak and it will cause him to be slower.

That's why instead of forcing it, he instead sent a steady stream of mana to his feet. The effect made his feet a little lighter, boosting his speed slightly.

He didn't hear the ring of the system in his ears which indicated that he hasn't completely learned it yet but he was sure that in just a few more tries or even just once, the system will deem it as a skill he created.

But for now, he put his entire focus on the current fight.

Calvin ran without stopping even if he was hit by an arrow or a spell making him slow down for a bit. But with Madelyne healing his health back up and providing cover with her spells together with his Block spell, he managed to retain his health at a fairly safe level.

Once he got in melee reach on one of the goblin archer, Calvin swung his dagger to its chest.

The archer panicked and jumped backwards, causing Calvin's dagger to barely sink in its flesh as it screamed in pain.

At the same time, Madelyne's arrows shot through the air and tore through its skin, lowering it's health even more.

Unfortunately, the angered chief finally reached Calvin as it slashed at him with its big sword.

Knowing that he can't compare to its strength, Calvin stepped back and leaned his body backwards, dodging the attack and immediately sprang back up and stabbed with his dagger to the join of its arm where its not covered in armor.

Due to the force of the swing, the chief couldn't take back his arm quickly so Calvin's attack was successful, leaving a deep wound in its arm.

"Gaahh!" The chief screamed in pain and stepped back quickly as it held its sword in its uninjured arm.

With the chief busy attacking Calvin and the injured archer unable to defend, Madelyne bombarded it with spells while she dodged the attacks from the other archer and shaman.

Due to the great distance between them, she was able to predict where the attacks will hit, making it easy for her to dodge.

In a matter of seconds, the archer died, leaving 3 goblins remaining which are the chief, the shaman, and an archer.

However even though there was only three of them remaining, the fight remained to be difficult.

Madelyne can only occasions hit the goblins due to them moving around, especially for the 2 in the back. She was also constantly attacked giving her less chances to attack.

As for Calvin, he was having the most difficult time since he had to face the chief and the attacks of the archer and shaman at the same time. Furthermore, the chief is more cautious than before so Calvin also had to tread carefully or else he will die which will result in Madelyne dying as well.

Minutes have passed as Madelyne finally killed the remaining archer. The moment that happened, the chief screamed.

Although the two had already expected this, they still can't help but sigh bitterly due to the difficulty of the dungeon.

Just a few second later, goblins poured from the side tunnels that almost numbered over 30. Even though all of them were normal goblins, just the sheer number of them made the difficulty spike up.

Calvin ran towards Madelyne to defend her again as the goblins tailed behind him while the chief returned to the shaman's side as it healed its wound thanks to the shaman.

Calvin and Madelyne continued the bitter battle against the normal goblins and after some time passed, the chief and shaman also started to attack as well.

By the time they took out all the normal goblins, Calvin was covered in cuts and bruises while Madelyne's became pale white from exhaustion.

A few minutes passed and the shaman was the only one left behind. The two can barely stand and fight but despite that, the held on as determination to complete what they have started filled their eyes.

Calvin faced the shaman in a melee battle with Madelyne in the back supporting. The shaman have two troublesome spells that made it hard for Calvin to land an attack.

One spell can apply slow to him and the most troublesome one is that it would release a propelling force from its hands that would throw Calvin for a few meters. Coupled with the fact that it was running all over the place, it easily became the most annoying monster for Calvin and Madelyne.

Finally, as the shaman has only a little bit of health remaining, Calvin dashed towards him and channelled his mana to his dagger, more than what he use when using Lacerate and stabbed it right to its neck with a shout.

'Pang!'

A fraction of a second after the dagger sank in its neck, a dull and loud sound rang in the cave as the neck of the shaman burst into chunks of flesh.

The moment that happened, Calvin and Madelyne heard the words that felt like music to their ears.
