Clearing The Castle
"I'm a looter so that means i'm not restricted to one weapon." Zoom replaced his bow and equiped the new sword.
"In a battlefield like this castle I don't think a bow would be fitting anyways."
After equiping the sword this was Zoom's current stats.

"I guess I could rotate from archer to swordsman between battles." Zoom took a deep breath before pushing the gigantic wooden door infront of him.
Nothing special came after opening the door but the atmosphere inside was quite spooky.
On the walls of the castle were torches and paintings of the sunset, moss also littered the walls making the castle seem abandoned.
Hiss! Hiss!
It didn't take long for Zoom to have spot a beast, this one was a big snake with a length of four meters and behind it was a gigantic bat the with a height of one meter.
Both beasts screeched loudly before the charged towards Zoom, with no teamwork they aimlessly moved forward with their mouths agape.
[Mana Envelope]
[Thunder Slash]
But the bat was faster it glided towards Zoom but Zoom simply swung his sword downward slicing the bat in half killing it in a single blow.
The two skills combined to make a horrifyingly strong combo dealing one thousand damage in a simple slash.
It was to be expected, the bat had little to no armour and Zoom had a tier 4 weapon on his hands.
Next up was the snake, even seeing it's comrade die in a single strike it did not waver and continued to slither towards Zoom.
Hiss!
Once in range it used it's tail like a whip but Zoom used the sword as a shield blocking the attack, but the snake didn't stop and it used it's tail and swept Zoom off his feet.
[-40 HP]
Zoom fell to the ground and just after recovering the snake once again whipped it's tail, Zoom used his sword to block but the strength of the snake made it so that the sword slammed onto Zoom sending him a feet meters back.
[-60 HP]
"Time to get serious!" The snake once again whipped it's tail but this time Zoom was able to jump in time and evade the tail, with Zoom up in the air the snake lunged itself towards Zoom while it's mouth was agape, to was excited to sink it's teeth onto Zoom.
Zoom smirked as he held his sword, with no way to defend and evade since the snake had already lunged itself forward it took the strike of the sword head on.
[You Have Dealt 500 Damage!]
The snake was dazed for a second giving Zoom another chance to strike.
[You Have Dealt 300 Damage!]
One strike after the other, unlike the bat the snake had a slightly better defence with a larger amount of health points but nonetheless it succumbed the Zoom's slashes.
[You Have Slain A Level 32 Large Snake!]
[+6000 EXP]
Zoom rested after the encounter and after he recovered he went around the castle slaying beast after beast.
The whole castle had beasts ranging from level 25 to 35 and more EXP than average, this place was a levelling paradise giving Zoom quite an advantage.
[+5000 EXP]
[+5500 EXP]
[+6000 EXP]
Though the beasts weren't all that easy to deal with they were slain one after the other and after five whole hours of running around fighting and resting Zoom had arrived in front of two double large doors.
In front of the two doors were statues of two knights, they wielded a great sword with both their hands and were heavily armour from head to toe.
Zoom took a step to approach the door before.
Ding!
The two knights took a step which was like a stomp making the floor slightly rumble.
They both glanced at Zoom simultaneously and charged towards him, unlike the other beasts these two knights actually had proper teamwork and swung their swords in turns.
With their teamwork and continuous strikes Zoom had no way of being able to perform a counterattack and was force to go on the defensive.
"Tsk, this is annoying." Zoom said.
"We shall eliminate you intruder!" Unexpectedly the two knights spoke simultaneously in a monotone voice, their voices were cold with a hint of hostility.
And after saying that the two knights had lost their cool and strike at the same time but their strike was stronger and faster than before.
[Mana Control]
But before their swords could slice Zoom they had stopped in place.
"Unlike beasts they have nothing like a weapon that I can control but you two have a sword." Zoom smirked and after moving out of the way he let go of his control and the two swords came crashing down to the ground creating a noticeable sword slash.
With an opportunity to strike Zoom naturally didn't let this go and swung his weapon towards one of the knights.
[You Have Dealt 400 Damage!]
"How dare you!" The knight who was left standing let go of his sword that was stuck on the ground and sent a jab towards Zoom which he blocked with his hands.
[-50 HP]
Zoom's sword fell to the ground and now both Zoom and the knight were barehanded.
They exchanged a flurry of punches towards each other.
[You Have Dealt 50 Damage!]
[You Have Dealt 50 Damage!]
[You Have Dealt 50 Damage!]
[-30 HP]
Unlike the heavily armour knight Zoom was much much faster but his attacks weren't as strong as when he had a sword, while the knight only landed from time to time.
'I'm going to lose if this drags on, this knight has too much health points compared to me!'
[Mana Control]
The knight froze in place and with a hint of mockery in his face Zoom sent a flurry of punches turning the knight into a punching bag,
The knights armour had received countless dents from Zoom which continued to become deeper and deeper until a hole was created.
With the hole in sight Zoom focused all his punches into the vulnerable spot dealing more damage since it actually struck the knight body.
