After fully preparing himself and recovering his Stamina, Health, and Mana, Leiu headed to the second part of the forest where the dungeon was situated.
There was an astronomical number of trees and thick bushes, which made it look a bit gloomy and dark. All his dark passives were activated along with Milkan's buff. His damage output had now risen by a ridiculous amount.
There were some people scattered here and there, but not as much as the outer region of the forest.
Leiu didn't bother killing any monsters as it was not the time, he bypassed them all and went straight toward the dungeon's location.
It didn't take him a long time while mounting Milkan, the reason he decided to mount him is that it's a bit dark here and even if they saw him, they wouldn't be able to properly see his appearance so there is nothing be worried about.
Milkan's speed was very fast, along with the atmosphere of the forest, it's nearly impossible to see Leiu's appearance, they would only see a shadow with a cape, nothing more unless a player had some kind of Unique skills that is related to the eyes and made everything clearer, but that probability is low, very low!
After traveling Milkan for sometimes, Leiu finally arrived at the grassy small plain in front of the dungeon. He unsummoned Milkan before going out in the open to attract less attention and troubles.
Of course, he got some gazes when he got out of the forest, but nothing too serious, it was the usual curious gazes. As he was wearing a grey cape, black hood and there was a white sheath in his waist, it was bound to attract some stares, though no one actually attacked him.
The sky was already dark by the time he arrived, so his passives were still 'On', which made it even more safe for Leiu.
Leiu didn't mind the other people and went straight ahead after confirming that the baldy's party was not outside like last time. When he was checking the people here, his eyes landed on a certain group of four people, but he didn't pay any heed to them, however, that didn't mean the other party ignored his inquisitive gaze.
In fact, the moment he appeared, they didn't notice him, but once he got a bit too close, one of them looked at him with surprise and anger.
It was the first group that died by Leiu's hands, and the one who first saw Leiu was the poor mage, Elena.
"You!!"
She didn't even bother telling her party as she snapped at him, just looking at his leisurely walk and covered head made her blood boil and her heartbeat rapidly due to the shame of what happened last time. She was the one who bore the greatest grudge toward him, he used her body a meat shield and she got ripped to pieces by the Crazy Ape, it was a total disgrace to her as a player and most importantly as a woman.
Elena didn't dare attack him recklessly, but that didn't mean she would stay calm and composed. The moment she snapped at Leiu, it attracted all the unwanted attention he wanted to avoid. Leiu could shake his head and sigh.
Even her party, which was discussing what to do and who to recruit was greatly surprised by his appearance. Chul felt resentment and hate, the assassin youth felt indignant and embarrassed, as for the Archer, she wanted to make peace and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Leiu looked at Elena while remaining silent: he just wanted to wait for her to finish her outburst and be done with it. He objective was to attack the other party of Players, however, things would get complicated if Elena and her friends kept pestering him.
"What are you doing here? You actually have the nerve to show up in front of me after the shit you pulled?!"
Elena was furious as she screamed at him atop her lungs. She didn't seem to care about the onlookers or her image. With quickened steps, she approached Leiu and surprisingly delivered a punch, one which he easily avoided.
She was a Mage so her forte laid on her magical spells, not her physical prowess and mobility. Still, even after missing, Elena kept trying to attack him, though that only resulted in a rather embarrassing, if not slightly comical, display.
"You took my staff!"
"You dropped it. It was my prize to claim."
Fortunately, Elena's friend, Sui, grabbed her shoulder and gently pulled her back. They weren't here to antagonize or attack a lonesome Players. It
"Just let it go, Elena. This isn't the place."
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Her friend's words notwithstanding, Elena looked unwilling to drop this matter.
"Sui is right, it's not the time for this.... maybe we'll meet him in the dungeon."
The meaning behind Chul's words was understood by everyone. Elena, at last, calmed down and stopped her vocal aggressiveness.
Seeing that the problems finally ended, Leiu felt his mind cool down for a bit as that female mage was as loud and vulgar as Hye Nari.
Now that the minor complication was over, he walked past Chul's Party and entered the Dungeon. Equipped with better gear and improved skills, he was feeling more confident than last time.
----------------------------------------
Fully-stocked on Health and Mana Potions, and with his black chains wrapped around his left arm, Leiu held his black and white sword and advanced to the first floor of the unusually dark Dungeon.
He wasn't planning to find the baldy's part straight away, but he would wait here until they come to him. There was no telling if they were in the Dungeon, after all.
Well, whether they are here not, Leiu would farm the Blobs in here until he stumbled upon them. After all, simply searching for them everywhere would be a true waste of time.
Moreover, even after reaching Lvl 45, killing the boss here can bring many benefits and generous Experience.
It didn't take Leiu long to arrive on the first floor, it was as cold and dark as ever. With some few lights in the darkness that indicated that there were some parties present.
Leiu didn't need a torch, his vision couldn't be clearer or better than it is now, with everything ready, he started searching Blobs to kill and test his new chains and strength on them.
Blobs were like him, they had a good vision in a dark place such as the first floor, with soundless steps, he roamed the wide cave until he spotted a group of 3 Haunting Blobs.
Leiu hid behind a huge boulder a dozen meters away from them, he held the black chains that were practically invisible in here.
Sneaking up on the Blobs was the easiest thing ever because their steps are very loud so it made it easier for players to locate them.
However, their brown skin made them merge a bit with the environment, so one had to have keen eyes in such a dark place.
Whilst holding his chains, Leiu advanced near them and when he was in range, he started his act. With a powerful swing, he threw the black chains at the nearest Blob, immediately entangling it and dealing a decent amount of damage.
The chain damage is usually very big and it had a high probability of crit due to Leiu's Hunt Skill. About one quarter or so of the Blobs' Health bar vanished by his strike, their Level was lower than his and his stats were overwhelmingly high, so it is kind of natural to deal that damage. If he uses [Dark Empowerment] and [Invisible Strike] There is a high chance to one-shot them with his sword.
As the Blob was entangled, Leiu rushed at it with fast speed and slashed down with his sword. It was a simple and clan slash aimed at its hands. Since the Blob was entangled by the chains, it couldn't resist, with the sharpness of the newly enhanced sword, its two hands were chopped off and blood began splattering everywhere.
The Blob didn't die but it would in a few seconds due to blood loss. Leiu didn't pay it any more attention and hastily sidestepped to the front, dodging a club that was aimed at his head, then he immediately used [Counter] to resist a frontal swing of a Blob.
The skill was successful as the Blob in front of him was pushed a couple of steps. Leiu followed that by a [Carving Shot], a white beam was aimed at the Blob's skull, taking more than 80% of its Health.
Leiu's main strength laid in his fast strikes, whether It's [Invisible Strike] or the continuous slashes, he excelled in them after countless battles in the game.
After using [Carving Shot], Leiu thrust his sword yet again at the same spot, finish off the Blob.
The remaining one was the one who he dodged a second ago, with his chains in hand, Leiu threw the chains at the incoming Blob, which just attacked with its club again.
The black chains clashed with the club for a second before the latter was sent flying from the Blob's hands, moreover, the chains were still flying at the surprised Blob. Before it could react, the chains hit its abdomen, pushing it down to the ground, then Leiu waved the chains and made them wrap around the Blob's legs, sealing their movements.
In fact, controlling the chains in the game is way easier, when his mastery in them increases, he could control them and make them move in a weird manner so they could wrap around something, such as legs, waist or arms. It could even suffocate the enemy if he is precise.
Leiu easily finished the last Blob and then looted all the corpses, the Experience he received was as generous as ever, what's more, is that killing them is much easier than last time, with the black chains with him now, it's like slaughtering chickens and not fighting dungeon monsters. If they are this easy, he should try the second floor later.
The next group of Blobs he finished was a group of 5, although he received a bit of damage, it was quickly recovered by a Health Potion, these monsters didn't cause him any threat and the loot and Experience were very good, since he slept well today, he was planning to spend all night farming, it would be amazing if Baldy's group came.
Like this, Leiu continued farming on the first floor for 3 straight hours non-stop, he would only rest for a couple of minutes because his Stamina is low. He would always keep his Stamina above 10 and considered 10 points like 1 point and that's because he didn't want to get ambushed again by anyone. He would always be on guard and never fights close to parties to not attract too much-unwanted attention.
The only reason he stopped after 3 hours is that he had to eat, he almost spent all day without eating anything, so he had to log off and eat and rest for half an hour.
Even if he logs off inside of the dungeon, it doesn't make a difference, so after finding a small corner with no Blobs around the area, he exited the game.
