Chapter 42 42 - First-Time Life-Threatening Situation.
Sam was now resting in a dark corner of the tunnel. He was fighting those monsters continuously. Those monsters form a group of 10 monsters and attack him one after another. You can say these monsters have intelligence. When Sam fighting a group, then another group will attack him. Until now, Sam killed 3 groups of monsters, but he didn't think that this will be the end.
Sam thinks he still has to fight 2 to 3 more groups of monsters. He previously hears from his sister on this first floor you need to face 30 to 40 monsters. This was before the monsters increased, but now he thinks he will have to face 50 to 60 monsters.
Sam thinks these monsters can go through any of these small tunnels without going through the big tunnels that you say see in the dungeon's entrance. He just wants to know, if he went in the other direction, then what will happen? Will he have to face the same number of monsters or he will face fewer monsters?
Sam was now near the big tunnel and he will go to other small tunnels after recovering his energy. He didn't find any exit in the direction he walk. He didn't find any road ahead after walking for a while. Only finds big rocks that were blocking the road from advancing, and because of this, he came to big tunnels direction from where he started his journey.
"I think one of the other two tunnels will be closed and the other will be open. So, only one small tunnel was open, and those monsters blocked the other two tunnels, and I just came to the blocked tunnel. This was a trap set by those monsters. Sigh, it was a relief that I have a high-grade concealment technique." Sam thinks in his mind. He releases a deep sigh. He didn't want to fight those monsters continuously.
Sam walks toward the big tunnel after recovering his energy while using his concealment technique. It was a good thing that he didn't meet any monsters. He safely comes to the big tunnel from where he started his journey.
He sees all the warriors going in only one direction with no hesitation. Sam thinks this group of warriors knows the actual road. In these big tunnels, you can see three small tunnels. One was on the left side, one was straight, and one was on the right side.
Those warriors going towards the right side, where Sam previously chose the left tunnel. He wants to know if he goes to the right side's tunnel, will he still have to face those monsters?
Sam didn't rush. He was still standing there and thinking about something. He was using his concealment technique, so nobody feels his presence while he was standing there.
Sam was planning to go straight. He knows it will be risky, but he wants to go straight. Sam almost recovers his full strength. Because of this, he wants to go straight. Sam wants to know how many monsters will attack him if he goes straight. If the same number of monsters attack him as in the previous tunnel, then he can handle it.
Sam goes straight, wasting no time. While he was going straight, he was very cautious about his surrounding. Even he was in his full strength, he won't be able to fight many monsters at the same time. He knows his limit very much, so he was very cautious while he was going towards the tunnel. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
Sam has reached the very end of the tunnels. Like previous tunnels, he saw many big rocks blocking the road. He also didn't see any monsters. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
'I think because I was using my concealment technique, they didn't feel my presence,' Sam think in his mind. He was using his concealment technique, but he won't be able to maintain this technique longer, because this technique puts a lot of pressure on his body.
Sam reactive his concealment technique and waited in a corner of the tunnel. He also wants to find from where those monsters coming.
He didn't have to wait long, because many arrows coming in his direction. Sam avoids all those arrows by coming in a different direction using his maximum agility. You shouldn't risk your life hitting by all those poisonous arrows. He also brings out his Night and shot arrows continuously while running towards those monsters. The arrows hit 4 monsters and they become dead bodies.
Sam still didn't stop shooting arrows. He kills one more monster when he comes close to them. Within a second he switch his Night with his sword and fought all those monsters. Sam wants to kill these monsters quickly because he knows the second group of monsters coming towards him.
Sam quickly used his deadly combo, Energy mode with his Fast-cut technique. He didn't give these monsters to react.10 fast swings from his sword; he kills all those monsters.
Sam deactivate his Energy mode and runs straight because he saw the second group of monsters that was ready to shoot him.
Sam quickly activates his concealment technique, then runs towards the monsters. This time he didn't activate his Energy mode, still, he kill two monsters using his agility. He avoids the monster's attack, moving zig-zag.
[After a while]
Sam was now outside of the dungeon and panting heavily. He was leaning against a tree while recovering his energy. After fighting the second group, a third group monster attacked him. Sam fights those monsters, but when he sees the fourth group of monsters, he wastes no time and runs towards big tunnels using his concealment technique.
Sam almost uses all of his energy when he was fighting the third group of the monster and, because of this, he quickly leaves the dungeon.
You can say this was the first life-threatening moment he faces in the dungeon. He never faced this many monsters at the same time.
"So, this was the reason those warriors didn't go straight and left side," he thought.
This time, he was really lucky that he didn't have to face any monsters that were good at close combat.
