I slowly open my eyes and stand up, I strech my body right after.
I picked up the bucket with dirty water and then used [Purify] on the contents inside of it, and although the water was now safe to drink the quantity of the water was greatly deacreased as a result of removing the impurities.
After quenching my thirst I pick up the battle axe, the spatial magic book and the shortsword before opening the door towards the next dark corridor.
The corridor this time was a lot smaller than the others I have passed, but unlike the others this one was not as long.
This time it only took a few minutes before I found myself at the end of the corridor and inside another room.
It was not as dark as the last ones and was unique as well, the massive room was overflowing with life, there were various plants all around the room, some of them glowed with different colors, there were some tall grass that glowed a light blue color, while there was a bush covered in flowers that glowed a fierce red color, vines that crawled up the stone wall which were glowing a in a calming green light and many more.
This room which was over flowing with plant life was enormous and stretched wider than my eyes can see, the wind was also different than the other rooms, it smelled fresh and there was even a breeze that could be felt in the air.
I walk forward like I always do, always alert with my surroundings while at the same time enjoying the scenery of the plants around me, it clears the mind and makes me feel calm.
I continued walking in a straight path while still constantly alert, I feel something big heading right towards my position travelling at an abnormal speed.
I quickly move towards my left and dodge a giant rock boulder that shook the earth as it hit the stone floor.
I immediately scan my surroundings and spot a rock golem several dozen meters away from my current position.
Without sparing a second I try to close the distance between me and the rock golem as I dash towards it, gripping the battle axe in my hands as I did.
Dozens of boulders flew towards me as the stone golem tried to stop me in my tracks, I easily dodge the giant boulders in my way without slowing down and continued to close in on the rock golem.
I get in range and jump up and prepare to do an overhead strike, the golem was not able to calculate my jump since they aren't the brightest of monsters and was not able to defend.
The power of the attack splits the rock golem in half and turns it into a normal pile of rocks and dust.
The encounter with the rock golem reminded me that this dungeon could take your life in an instant if you get careless.
Before I could get a move on I feel the presence of eight creatures surrounding me.
The creatures pounce towards me at an astonishing speed which to the untrained eye only make them look like blurry figures.
They were rabbit like creatures, the only bog differences was that they were atleast four times bigger than a normal rabbit and had two small horns on their head, purple skin and three menacing round eyes which seemed to glow.
I drop my great axe for it's weight will only be a hindrance on opponents which were speed oriented and instead I drew my shortsword which was strapped to my hip.

As one of the demon rabbits came into range I quickly cut it in half, killing it instantly.
Two more get in range and I kill both of them using a single horizontal slash.
One of the demon rabbits was eventually able to get in range to attack me and a spark of discharged electricity could be seen on his legs, his speed suddenly spiked as he darted towards me woth speed many times faster than before.
I was barely able to dodge the attack by bending my body backwards, the demon rabbits' attack missed me by a hair's breadth.
I throw the shortsword at the demon rabbit hitting it at the back of it's head and soon laid lifeless on the ground.
Without a weapon to use I immediately get into an unarmed fighting stance, as soon as another one of the monsters got in range I kicked it the head with my right foot, stunning it in the air and I followed it with another kick as I spun around to get more momentum for my next attack, this time my left foot hit the demon rabbit and sent it flying a few meters away before hitting the ground.
The four remaining demon rabbits were packed close to each other, they were probably thinking of overwhelming me using a numbers advantage.
Instead this only made it easier to deal with them.
I jump backwards adding distance between me and the monsters as I chanted.
[Earth Spikes] a type of earth magic activated as I finished chanting and the ground shook as dozens of giant spikes of rock emerged from the ground, without enough space to dodge the spell peirced the monster's flesh covering them in gaping holes, as a result all four died without any resistance.
As the battle ended I went to retreive my great axe and shortsword since these two will be certainly be useful later on.
I also pick up one of the dead monster corpses to eat later on, it didn't taste good no matter how many times I ate monster meat but it was necessary to do so in order to survive.
Before continuing on, I used magic to cleanse myself of the sticky and smelly blood all over my body that I gained while battling with the demon rabbits.
I then move on and continue heading frorward the depths of the dungeon once again.
Some other monsters appeared on the way but most of them were really weak like the giant green slimes which were capable of using a bit of earth magic, but they went down easilly when I destroyed the spherical core inside their transparent bodies, there were also giant wasp that had a neurotoxin caple of paralyzing whatever they hit with their stinger for a few minutes, too bad for them but I'm no longer affected by such weak a poison.
So after a few hours of continous walking and taking out the monsters that appear occasionally I decide to rest for a few hours.
I look for a spot under a big beautiful tree which had leaves that glowed a gorgeous pink color and decide to rest here for the time being.
I cast a detection spell with a 50 meter radius from the tree to alert me if a monster is nearby and also cast a spell to mask my presence from monsters just to be safe, before settling down as I leaned my back on the tree.
I continued to read the book about spatial magic that I brought with me, luckily only a small amout of blood splatter reached the book's cover, I was realily worried there for a second that the book might have had been bathed in blood that I would even be able to understand the writing in it anymore.
After looking for the part where I left off I started reading the book while trying to fully comprehend the meaning behind every word written inside to get a grasp on how to use this so called spatial magic.
I continue reading for a few hours before finally closing the book and decided to eat the demon rabbit corpse I got earlier because it may attract other monsters with it's smell if I don't or it may get spoiled, And I know first hand that eating spoiled monster meat is never a good experience.
I go out and collect anything which could easily be burned in the surrounding area to cook the meat, I get back to the tree after a few minutes of scavenging for fuel to use for the fire and place all of it a small distance away from the tree making a small pile of twigs, leaves and other flammable materials, I casted a low tier fire magic to start the fire and soon the materials I gathered were set ablaze. And I used one of the longer sticks I found and sharpened the tip and used it to skew the demon rabbit which I had just skinned and remove the unnecessary parts from before putting it over the fire.
After a few minutes over the fire I took the cooked monster meat, it was a bit burned but it didn't really matter to me, I took quite a big bite on the still smoking meat, it was tough, chewy and tasted bitter, not because of it being burned it really just tasted bitter naturally, but it was essential to keep me sustained and energized so I had to deal with it.
I ate every part of the meat that was edible wihtout wasting anything before putting out the fire which might only attract unnecessary attention, and with this I once again casted a sleep spell on myself.
