"Undead Skeleton Mage!" Souta looked at the skeleton which was standing in the center of the room.

Seeing this, he finally remembers where he was. At first, he wasn't sure where he found the [Soul Blood Earring], but now that he saw the Undead Skeleton Mage memories of this dungeon came into his mind.

He remembered that this dungeon was called Undead Sanctuary.

Undead Sanctuary was a very large dungeon. It consists of 12 low-level dungeons, 6 mid-level dungeons, and 3 high-level dungeons. The ruler of this place was the powerful undead inside the high-level dungeon.

He's currently inside one of the low-level dungeons. People didn't know that this place was hiding a Universal treasure because they don't expect that one of the low-level dungeons here was hiding the real treasure of this sanctuary. They thought that all the good items were inside the high-level dungeons.

At that time, the players already cleared all the low level and mid-level dungeons and they were preparing to clear the high-level dungeon when Souta accidentally opened the secret door. They wouldn't expect something like that inside the low-level dungeon.

The one in front of him was the Undead Skeleton Mage, one of the bosses of the low-level dungeons here in the sanctuary. If he wasn't wrong this undead level was between 15-20. A powerful opponent for the current him.

A cold wind strongly blew over him.

"Not good!" Souta quickly turned around and found the door closed on its own.

"Looks like I'm trapped here." a wry smile appeared on his face while looking at the Undead Skeleton Mage.

The Undead Skeleton Mage's eye socket flashed with red light and its aura grew stronger.

"It's coming." Souta murmured as he braced himself.

He quickly checked his equipment. He had a sword and leather armor. These were the only equipment he found in this dungeon this fits his current body. Some of the skeleton soldiers dropped a gauntlet, helm, and boots but those things were too large for him. It would make him uncomfortable if he forces himself to wear those types of equipment. This was not like in the game that he could just click the word "Equip" and it would fit him nicely.

"Let's do this."

The Undead Skeleton Mage lifted up its staff and the black orb emitted a strange white light. A fireball at the size of the human head formed on its left side and it quickly threw the fireball at Souta.

Swoosh!

Souta moved his body and avoided the fireball. He then charged at the Undead Skeleton Mage.

When the Undead Skeleton Mage saw Souta avoided its attack, it raised its staff higher. Two fireballs formed on its side.

"Oh~" Souta increased his speed as he moved in a zigzag pattern so that the Undead Skeleton Mage couldn't easily aim the fireball on him.

Swoosh!

Souta moved swiftly and in just a few seconds, he arrived in front of the Undead Skeleton Mage. He knows that this undead was weak in close combat battle.

Tap!

The Undead Skeleton Mage quickly tapped its staff on the ground. A barrier formed around the undead and it quickly expanded like a balloon.

Souta saw this and he quickly stopped on his track. He jumped backward while slashing his sword against the barrier.

Clang!

"It finally uses a skill," Souta said in a low voice as he observed the undead.

The undead pointed its staff at Souta. Several fireballs appeared around the undead and it quickly flew towards Souta.

[Fire Ball Dance]

Souta moved his body swiftly as he jumps side to side to avoid the fireballs raining down on him.

Bang!

He got hit by one of the fireballs. It pushed him back by one meter.

His HP decreased by 10 points in getting hit by one fireball. He had a total of 40 health points and it's pretty low compared to his HP when his avatar was demi. Monster type avatar was really weak at first.

If he doesn't have the [Soul Blood Earring], then his health points would decrease by half leaving him only 20 points. In other words, if he doesn't have the Universal treasure with him the Skeleton in front of him could two-hit kill him.

There were so many fireballs shooting in his direction. No matter what, he had to avoid getting hit. He would undoubtedly die when three more fireballs hit him.

Swooosh!

Swooosh!

"Shit!" Souta run as fast as he could around the room. He pulled back his arm and throw his sword on the Skeleton Mage.

Swooosh!

Clang!

The sword flew at a high speed and crashed on the barrier around the Skeleton. It fell on the ground without damaging the Skeleton.

The fireballs stopped shooting and he knows why. The Undead Skeleton Mage could only use one skill at a time. It couldn't use [Flame Barrier] and [Fire Ball Dance] at the same time.

Souta used wouldn't let this chance go. With a stomp of his feet, he dashed towards the Skeleton Mage using the skill [Dash].

He picked up his sword and smashed it on the barrier.

Clang!

He didn't give up as he continued to slash his sword producing a loud sound.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

After a few slashes, he noticed the crack formed on the barrier. He smiled widely as he increased his pace in slashing his sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Skeleton Mage tapped its staff on the ground.

The barrier flashed dimly and it expanded.

Ohm!

"Ah!" Souta shouted as he used the skill [Stab]. His sword pierced through the barrier and he slashed it downwards.

The barrier was shattered like a fragile glass.

A red light glowed in the eye socket of the Skeleton Mage when the barrier broke. It raised its staff in the air and dozen fireballs slowly formed.

Souta quickly moved his body and dashed towards the Skeleton Mage. Once again, he throws his sword on the Skeleton.

"It's different this time!"

Clang!

The sword hit the Skeleton causing it to lose its focus. The red light on its eye socket glowed brighter.

It caused a change in the fireballs forming in the air. The fireballs spin faster and it grew bigger.

"Ah!" With a boom, Souta jumped and kicked the Skeleton Mage.

Souta noticed the fireballs were going wildly. He immediately ducked down and grabbed his sword.

Boom!

Dozens of fireballs exploded in the air. It produces a powerful shockwave that swept the area around it.

Souta was knocked back two meters away because of the shockwave.

He gritted his teeth as he stood up. That shockwave cost 5 health points. If he was directly hit by that then he would lose most of his health points.

He used the skill [Dash] and arrived in front of the Skeleton Mage in just a second. He launched a barrage of attacks on his opponent.

Stab!

Stab!

The Skeleton Mage swung its staff.

Souta saw this and he grabbed the arm of the Skeleton. He couldn't afford to get knockback once again as there's already fireball forming above the Skeleton.

He lifted up his sword and used it to blocked the staff.

Bang!

Although the Skeleton Mage was weak in frontal combat, its level was still higher than him. The damage he took was 7 points.

"Argh!" He groaned in pain as he felt that his arm was going numb from taking that hit. His health points were less than 20 and two more hits were enough to take him down.

He lifted up his feet and kicked the Skeleton sideways.

Bang!

"You wouldn't get away from me!" He shouted as he tightened his grip on the arm of the Skeleton. Once he leaves the front of the Skeleton, those fireballs in the air would start bombarding him.

Stab!

He swung his sword like a madman trying to butcher his enemy.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He engaged the Skeleton in frontal combat. He dodges and attacks at the same time trying to maximize his damage.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"Argh!" He was hit on the head and it caused him to loosen his grip on the arm of the skeleton.

The Skeleton Mage waved its arm and jumped backward.

Souta wouldn't let it go easily just like that. He quickly stood up and used [Dash] to chase the Skeleton Mage.

The speed of the Skeleton was slow compared to him who's using a skill to increase his speed.

Swoosh!

He grabbed the robe of the Skeleton and once again use [Stab]. He only has one-fourth of his total Stamina. He couldn't carelessly use his skill anymore.

"Just die!!" He shouted as he madly waved his sword.

Clang!

After a few slashes, the sword broke into pieces.

Souta tightened his fist and launched a barrage of punches on the rib cage of the Skeleton.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He added 5 free attribute points to his strength attribute.

Strength: 25 (15+10)[+]

He pulled back his fist and shot a powerful punch on the Skeleton.

Bang!

The rib cage of the Skeleton was shattered.

Bang!

Souta didn't stop his punch and he threw another powerful punch one after another.

He didn't stop until he heard the system prompts inside his head.

[You've received 1,972 exp from defeating the Undead Skeleton Mage!]

[You've level up!]

[All attributes increased by 1!]

[You've received 1 skill point!]

[You've received 2 free attribute points!]

[Congratulations on completing the Raid mission!]

[You've received 100 exp!]

[You've received 1 attribute point!]

[You've received 1 skill point!]

He sighed in relief when he heard the system prompts in his head. He fell down on the ground as he was too tired from fighting the "Boss" of this dungeon.

He lay down on his back as he looked at the prompts. He received a lot from conquering this dungeon.

He was now a level 7 Goblin and a few more levels were enough for him to evolve.

Goblins had a lot of evolution path. The most basic ones were Hobgoblin and High Goblin. He already crossed out these two from his evolution path. If he doesn't have the [Soul Blood Earring], he would be forced to choose between these two but now it's different.

He recalled one hidden evolution of the Goblin from the forum.

A powerful and extremely well-versed Goblin. The requirements for this evolution was that one of his stats must have reach 50. With [Soul Blood Earring] in his arsenal, he doesn't need to worry about 50 stat points.

The High End Goblin.

Its evolution depends on the stat that you choose.

Souta couldn't help but smirk thinking about his future growth.
