Swiftness!

'Nothing too irregular so far.'

Four hours had already passed since Damian left the starter Den. However, against his expectations, none of the usual unpredictable chaos appeared so far.

Although he started with slow walking, he kept gradually accelerating his steps, leading to individual encounters with three stray Hobgoblins.

Considering that the space Damian covered wasn't too large, the population wasn't as scarce as the first floor, at least not at the starting area. It wasn't too crowded either.

'If anything, it's too orderly.'

"Grugghhhh!"

Just as Damian started to get suspicious, another Hobgoblin appeared in his path, forcing him to put his thoughts aside and focus on the more important matter at hand.

'Just in time.'

Among the 3 Hobgoblins that Damian had met, the first one was used to confirm that he could achieve the closest thing to an instant kill as a Tier-4 Aura Knight.
