I don't know how much time passed by while staying in this pitch black world. And within this period, many unexpected revelations that made my jaw dropped happened. Oh by the way, this world was made by [ Hell ], It seems this is her skill [ Shadow Space ]. [ Hell ] is the name I gave to the wolf monster who saved me. Why [ Hell ] you ask, well because when I used [ Divine Vision ] to appraise her, it showed that she was a [ Shadow Hell Hound Level 12 Variant ] and a female at that. So I took the name [ Hell ] because it suited her unexpectedly. If you want to ask, her original name was [ Golbina ] seems I deemed it pretty lame, I made a nickname for her.
She began speaking to me telepathically when I acquired the [ Taming ] skill and successfully tamed her. I really don't know the specific but it seemed that she was the goblin girl I met when I first entered this dungeon. Certainly, when I heard that she's [ THAT ], I mean that goblin girl I was stupefied to death! Who can blame me? I mean, a goblin can transform into a hell hound!? that's impossible!
I ask her how she can turn into a hell hound; although she honestly told me, I regretted it. She told me that, she was the offspring of a male [ Shadow Hell Hound ] and a [ Hobgoblin Variant ]. One day in their tribe, a male [ Shadow Hell Hound ] happens to pass by, took a liking to her mother which is a very beautiful hobgoblin variant (Although I don't know if she is really beautiful) and raped her. But the story still didn't end, after the deed of that bastard hell hound, he tried to kill her mother but failed so he massacred the whole goblin tribe her mother was affiliated with. Fortunately her mother successfully escaped and found this dungeon. Because there seems to be another small goblin tribe living here, she decided to migrate there.
Hearing it, an extreme killing intent flowed out from my heart and I swore that whenever I managed to find that bastard, stray dog, I will tear him apart! Although I was really mad and angry, It slowly dissipated when I heard how kind her mother was. It seems that even though something like that happened, her mother still loved her and cared for her. She told her that no matter what happens, [ Hell ] shouldn't let the others know who she really is. 'What about me' I ask but 'It's fine because I like you' is what she told me. It really makes one heart tremble but because there is only Flora in my heart, I magnificently ignored her.
'Well, not like I'll hit on a monster though~'
'But how the heck a goblin be so kind? Although her mother is a [ Hobgoblin Variant ] and became human like with human like expression and behavior, but still a goblin should be still a goblin right?' is what I want to ask but I managed to suppressed the urge to do so because it seems a little bit rude. In the first place, the knowledge I've got from the real world isn't really the universal truth but only a pigment of imagination from other humans, so maybe in this world Goblins were different~
From what I understand, It seems this dungeon is really, really, really big. It seems that, the room I first appeared was only a small room and I'm just lucky that I managed to came into this place quickly. If I really want to explore this dungeon, I think I'll need a couple of months time to do it. Well, not like I need to~
Concluding my information gathering, I ask her if she wants to come with me and without hesitation she readily agreed. It seems like even if I won't ask, she'll just follow me silently with her [ Shadow Walk ] which I shivered from hearing. 'Man, It seems I managed to avoid the [ Dangerous Stalker ] route~ safe~.......probably...'
I ask her if that is really okay and what about her mom, but she only told me that there's no problem. Well, if that's what she wants then who cares~
After my wounds completely healed, which was really monstrous. I decided to stay for a while and [ Meditate ] to enhanced my [ Mana ] reserve.
But even so, this skill [ Shadow Space ]is really amazing. As long as there is still mana, Hell can maintain this world, Although I used four [ Blue Earth Flower ] to replenished her mana, it's worth it.
I felt that I really stay in this place for a very long time though~ With my [ Mana ] increasing by 30% I decided to begin my Revenge Match, with that bastard skull face and stray dog. With my [ Spirit Merging ] and [ Scorched Hell ] can finally be used again, together with [ Hell ] this fight....is mine!
"Hell, Time to hunt! Let's give them the taste of what Hell is really is!"
"GraaaarrRRR! 'Yes Master!'"
Seeing its happy appearance, I gripped the[ Goblin Elder Spear ] in my hand tightly and smiled.
"Don't you dare die on me...Hell"
-------------------------------------
"Man, you're as ugly as ever~ You really need an image change~" I said as soon as I saw the not ever changing skull face. Just like before, he was still sitting on his throne acting all high and mighty while the stone sculpture of the [ Chimera ] was behind him. If I haven't fought it, I would be likely deceived and thought it's just a stone sculpture and not alive.
"Damn thief! It's quite fortunate for you to be able to escape last time with the help of your little pet yet you still came back? hahaha it seems you still haven't learn your lesson yet huh! Don't think you can still escape for the second time! Today you will die! [ Chimera ] Awaken!"
"Yeah, I think I need to thank you for your hospitality last time. However, I think I need to remind you that this beautiful girl isn't my pet but my companion, though I don't think that brain of yours can really understand it. Wait a moment, do you still have a brain? Nah I don't think so~"
Hell, still in her [ Shadow Hell Hound ] form seemed like she was really happy after she heard my words. She wagged her tail, brushed her head against my body, and barked "Roof, Roof" that seemed to say, 'hehe I'm master's companion~' or something like that.
Well, she looks very cute so I gently patted her head.
"INSOLENT!!!"
Skull face looks very furious as he shouted with tremendous force. However, because I have my unique skill [ Gamers' Heart and Mind ] it was nothing more than a soft breeze. Despite not feeling it, I'm still worried; not for me but for Hell. Unlike me, she don't have such convenient cheat skill. But to my surprised, Hell didn't back down nor trembled in fear. Well, I'll just ask her about it later, for now I'm just thankful that it seems she's not that affected.
I couldn't help but smile as I looked at her. If not because of this adorable girl, I would have met the grim reaper already, and then played some mahjong with him. She not only saved me but also gave me time to rest as well as time to make a plan. Fighting two C-BOSS monster? I'm not stupid enough to test my luck with them, so therefore a good plan had to be thought up.
Therefore, long before I came here, I had already thought up a not-so-good plan. But, it was extremely dangerous. A single misstep could cause Hell's life, so I'm a little bit hesitating whether I'll do this. When I told Hell about this, she agreed without hesitation but still....this is too dangerous for her!
Damn!
Steeling my heart, I gripped the [ Goblin Elder Spear ] in my hands. Activating [ Poison Clad ] some sort of purple gooey liquid dripped from my [ Poison Gauntlet ] onto the tip of my spear, releasing some sort of blackish purple gas. As soon as it touched the ground, it began to melt.
Skull face gritted his teeth, then slowly raised his arm. As soon as he waved it, the [ Chimera ] which is once again became alive; like a tiger who saw its long lost food, charged towards me.
Turning my head, I saw Hell looking at me. "Don't worry, I just want to treat it to some kick-to-death noodles. " while saying so I immediately activated my skill [ Spirit Merging ] and merge with Rosa. In an instant, my body was enveloped with green colored radiance. My hair once again became long and my appearance changed just like before.
'I'm very happy to be of use to you once again, my master'
A very familiar voice resounded in my ear. This voice was definitely Rosa.
'Un! Thanks Rosa, please take care of me once again'
'Understood, my master'
With my super saiyan like transformation finished, I teleported to the side of the pouncing [ Chimera ]. With the sound of rushing wind, I hastily swung the [ Goblin Elder Spear ] coated with my poison.
Peng!
The spear in my hand was smashed heavily towards the [ Chimera ] however just like from before, its steel like body is really hard to penetrate.
'Tsk - ! Even with my power-up, I don't think my weapon will endure such body!...so how about this...!'
Rotating my body, I smashed my right leg this time while being coated with my mana like a windmill.
The [ Chimera ] fell onto the ground with a 'Bang!' sound, and before it could even stand up again, I once again kicked its huge belly with the force similar to that of a ten-wheeler truck being smashed towards it.
"""GrrrrooooooaaaarrrRRR - Baaaaaaaaahhhh"""

The [ Chimera ] growled painfully.
Done, I return back from where I was standing up while acting as if nothing just happened. It seems like this took a long time but actually this whole process only lasted in less than three seconds after I successfully merge with Rosa.
The face of the skull face change and its skeleton jaw was wide open. Unlike skull face, Hell look at me with sparkling eyes.
The [ Chimera ] had already recovered and slowly stood up while glaring at me. It seems like he like my special course kick-to-death noodles~
Without waiting for my orders, Hell run towards the [ Chimera ]. This is the plan I cooked up with while thinking for a long time. If I think about it, with my equipment right now I would be having a hard battle with the [ Chimera ] so why not defeat the stronger one first? In this case, its skull face but the problem is, the [ Chimera ] won't just sit down and watch me fighting its master, so Hell will be the one to make it busy. I told her that she don't need to defeat it but only stall it. After I successfully defeat skull face, maybe the [ Chimera ] will simply vanish without its summoner in the worst case I'll just need to kill it.
"Now then, It's just me and you now, skull face~"
"Hmpf! I don't know how did you do it but it seems your power surged up, but it's still not enough to defeat me!"
"Well, let's see about that~ In fact, I don't think I'll lose to you this time, I still need to smash your face in the ground you see..."
"Foolish!! You may have gotten stronger but that doesn't change the fact that you cannot win! Haven't you learned your lesson enough! You almost died yet you still came here? How courageous, does my wealth really clouded your judgment as to waste your life like this?"
"Hoo there, skull face. Who says, I really want it? Aren't you the one misunderstanding here? And besides there might be things that aren't worth compared to your life but there are also things in this world one must sacrifice even your life to obtain...although it certainly isn't gold"
"Such stupidity! Life is the most precious thing in this world! If you are alive, you can take anything this world has to offer!"
"Stupidity? Life? Come on, those are things I really don't want to hear from an undead like you~ Don't tell me, even though you are already dead, you can't still passed on until your body became this rotten? What a poor fellow you are. Is it because you can't move on from being rejected by a girl? So pitiful, there are many fishes in the sea, dude! You might even see one beautiful skull face in hell, why not go die already?....although, I really want to know as to what degree can a skull face be considered a beauty? Care to enlighten me?"
"INSOLENT! YOU FOOL, I'M GOING TO TEAR YOU TO PIECES!!!"
"Man, don't be so heated up! Remember you heart - Ah, right you're a skeleton so you don't have heart, hahahaha skull joke~"
"You bastard!!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
Skull face finally stood up. Spinning the [ Goblin Elder Spear ] in my hand, I rushed towards the standing skull face. My boots stepped against the stone as I swung my spear against its skull, leaving a cloud of dust behind me. However, contrary to my expectation skull face parried my attack using a dark colored long sword. Its blade was dyed black that looks like it can even absorb the light.
Failing in my attack, I hurriedly jump back away.
"Man, I never thought you have such a wonderful sword. Can you give it to me, I really like it. I have 1 copper here, can you sell it to me?"
Hearing my words, skull face only snorted.
"I'm already fed up in seeing your face, Let's finish this right now!"
"What a coincidence! Then why not kill yourself right now and give that sword to me. I might gave you a magnificent funeral, you know~"
"Joke all you want, fool!
[ Warriors that fell in battle, I implore your strength and once again stand on this battle field. Release your wrath upon the living and spread the curse of evil! Undead Rise! ]"
Dark clouds floated around the surroundings, and in an instant a scene out from a scary zombie movie appeared. Skeletons wearing ancient battle attires and armors suddenly rose up from the ground. Skeletons that looked like axemen, archers, lancers, mages and knight. The room was filled with a very disgusting stench that could make anyone vomit.
"Come on, that's why I really don't like liches, summoning undead is really annoying and unfair!"
Seeing such spectacle that reeks unfairness, I couldn't help but complain but I didn't lose heart. I know I still have the chance to turn this fight in my way.
"[ Bark Skin ] [ Vines Shackles ] [ Lesser Treant Minions ] [ Medium Treant Minions] [ Feel the Earth ] "
Successfully activating the Dryad based skill, I have now ten [ Lesser Treant Minions ] and eight [ Medium Treant Minions ]. Coupled with that are the skill; [ Feel the Earth ] that replenished my health as well as my mana, and [ Vines Shackles ] that restricted the movements of the summoned undead, as well as skull face.
--------------------And the battle that looks like a certain MMORPG began!
Tree monsters trampled the undead that was still restricted by huge vine tendrils. [ Treant ] used their flexible wood tentacles to whip the numerous undead. Some used [ Leaf Shot ] and [ Root Spike ] but unfortunately this dealt little to no damage, so I ordered them to only use [ Root Whips ] and wooden tentacles to smash the daylights out of them.
The battle might have been turning on my side but actually a very large problem suddenly occurs. Skeleton that looks like mages used fire magic to burn the [ Vine Shackles ] and the freaking skull face cut it as if it were tofu so a minute later it became another stand still.
'Damn! Well, It's not like I didn't expect this to happen.....fumu the first one to hunt is...'
Gripping the spear tightly with my right hand, I begin to move. With large strides IO charged towards the crowd of undead like a shooting star. Before I even made it to the front of the crows, I put enough amount of force in my right foot and jumped towards the location of the undead mages.
Bang!
With a sweep of my spear, the undead mages around me was blown back with tremendous force. The motion of the spear in my hand was very smooth as if it was dancing. Spinning from my left hand then to my right. It moved freely under the palm of my hand as if it weight was non-existent. My fantastic spear technique that only a few knows debuted while being surrounded by a crowd of undead.
Twirling the spear in my hand while jumping here and there, various undead was blown away. Right then, a black long sword was swung towards my back. However, I've already saw it coming so I parried it by swinging the spear while I thrust my fist forward.
Obviously, the one who just attacked me was no other than skull face. Taking my punch, he took three step backward.
"Come on, attacking at the back is bad manners."
"Hmpf, such trivial matters is unnecessary during a battle, only loser will complaint on such things!"
Unfazed, I only look at him with a calm look.
"True. But as a warrior, one need to honor one's pride. A wound in the back is a shame to any swordsman."
"A thief like you really knows how to bark. Let's see who has more bite!"
I was preparing to attack when suddenly a very loud 'BOOOOM' resounded in the whole room and immediately after the sound, a pillar of fire can be seen not too far away from us. The whole room tremble and debris of stone bricks fell on us, it seemed like the whole ceiling might collapse.
Looking at the pillar of fire which is obviously not a very good omen, my heart suddenly trembled.
Not in fear nor in despair but in anger.
What I saw made my heart which is as still as a spring, trembled in madness. The cool facade suddenly collapse and my heart gushed a strong killing intent. The calm demeanor I'm wearing suddenly turned into fury.
'BANGGGG!' as if it accompanied a very loud sound, a boundless powerful killing intent; without exaggerating, suddenly exploded deep within me. It's as if a wild beast inside of me was rocking its cage while shouting 'KILL, KILL, KILL!!!!'
Beside the column of fire, wasn't only the [ Chimera ] but a little goblin girl. Right, it was Hell but for some reason, she reverted back into her original form while lying in the floor, bloody. With my improved vision, I saw some burned marks on her little face, bare body, and feet. Her arms were scorched and her small build was gushing with blood.
Right! That little Hell, which company and cute antics I've gotten used to and enjoyed. Lying there, without moving as if she was already dead.
'What the hell! what the hell! what the hell! This can't be! this can't be!'
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
Without time to think, I've rushed towards her.
