[Remark: Weakest Undead that there is...Although there are spooky and scary their Strength is at rock bottom!]

"So leveling up increases my attributes, I can feel the difference of power right away, I should find a way to gather more XP in the future..." But for now, I should get out of here before something else like the goblins come at me".

After confirming that I got everything that I need I continued to walk the path from before. But suddenly I heard something.

*Thud!

"Where did that sound come from?" I heard an echo of a sound, although faint, it seemed like it came from somewhere at the top...

"It's probably a rock that fell into the lake...It shouldn't be anything to worry about."

With that, I continued to walk the path until my silhouette couldn`t be seen.

"Open the gates! They have returned! Hurry and open the gates!" Sounds of chains being pulled could be heard behind the massive gate which was slowly opening. From that gate emerged soldiers with two different kinds of armor. Ones with shabby armor that didn't look like they were being cared for at all. The other soldiers had better-looking armor that wasn`t damaged at all together with some red cloth and a crest on their chest that had as a symbol of a hand holding an orb. Leading these soldiers with the crest was a man with a massive build of 2 meters tall, with this full-body armor and a deep red cloth that resembles blood he looked like a knight that has bathed in blood. This very person called out those who were coming from inside the gate.

"Young Master! Are you alright!"

Coming out of the gate were three similar-looking soldiers with those with the red cloth but only with fancier armor and one young man that had an incredible-looking armor with some red kind of crystal in the middle which was barely glowing which showed that this young man wore enchanted armor.

This very young man answered the call of the blood knight "So you even came...Raph-." Before the young man could finish he fell to this knees while gripping this shoulder which began to bleeding.

Seeing the pale face he dashed towards him and reached him in an instant. "Young Master! Are you alright?! What happe-" This glare that had some killing intent in it went towards the three soldiers beside the young man. Seeing this the soldiers shivered from fear on the outside.

But on the inside, they felt more ashamed.

We couldn`t protect the young master...

But before the blood knight could finish he was interrupted by the young master "Rapha... I am sorry...It took the sword that was given to me..."

Hearing this, the blood knight Rapha raised this brows and asked back "Wait, by that do you mean the sword that the son of the master blacksmith has given to you!? Who stole it! Which bastard dared to take it from you?"

Seeing the surprised Rapha, the young master's head looked down from shame. "I am sorry Rapha, I didn`t know that something like this. Something like this wasn`t supposed to show up inside that dungeon! This monster..."

Hearing this, Rapha's eyes went wide open. There shouldn't be anything strong inside that dungeon though? I trained the young master myself and I know this strength myself at best, the worst that can come out from this dungeon can be some goblin or some mindless undead...

With doubt in this voice, Rapha asked " What did you meet inside there?".

"It was a..." Recalling those dead blue glowing eyes from this monster cold sweat came from this back.

"Draugr!"

****

"K-Kgh!"

In the dark path inside the dungeon, a Screeching voice could be hurt.

Those were Screams of Goblins.

Here was I fighting another group of 4 goblins not long after my first fight... or rather than fighting it was more like chasing them to death.

Since this group didn`t have a `warrior goblin-like the other group I was easily able to kill this group without much difficulty after my attributes Increased. Even though my attributes Increased, my overall strength was only slightly Increased.

But to the weaklings that these goblins are, the strength I showed terrified them. The Usual Skeletons that these goblins had faced before were the mindless one which would focus on one of them, only changing targets when the targeted goblin had either died or had ran away.

To the goblins, sacrificing one of their kind to kill their foe was a win-win situation for them! Killing their foe and looting their possession was their nature, but sharing the loot was not. Lowering the numbers allowed them to have to get more of the loot.

Two birds with one stone!

Well, that was only in the case of the mindless Skeletons though.

"Sigh, chasing this guy was quite annoying but at least they get tired pretty fast."

Now I understand what to not tire means... always able to move even though your opponent is exhausted.

"Kihaha, Undead are indeed the superior race!" After fooling around for a bit I decided to continue my path.

"Hmm, but still where do these goblins come from? They always seem to be in a group which means that they live somewhere together."

After walking for a while longer it suddenly hit me...

"...A home huh? Right now It should be fine since I don't carry much but I eventually would need a place to keep the items I carry..." I gazed at the fellow's sword with worry. Although it was a good sword it already showed signs of the blade losing this edge and slowly breaking apart.

"Sigh, I shouldn`t worry about that right now, I gathered around 800 XP with those goblins, I should think if I should use them or not"

The three goblins had given me 200 XP while one gave me 150 XP. Since the three were Lv.2 goblins they gave me a little more XP than the one goblin that was Lv.1. This confirmed that the stronger the enemies were, the more XP they would give me.

"What should I do now though? Spending 500 XP to increase my level or wait to get enough for [Lower Weapon Mastery Lv.1]?"

After thinking about it I decided to wait until I can get [Lower Weapon Mastery Lv.1]. Since the only enemy seems to be goblins I don't really need to increase my level. And If I find myself in an urgent situation I can still use the gathered XP to increase my level.

"Well, nothing that can be done about unless I find another group of goblins. I should focus on finding a place to stay to place the collected items that I find, 'cause it doesn`t look like my sword will last for long..." I looked at my sword again only to find myself sighing.

"Sigh, maybe I should find another skeleton and get this weapon...He wouldn`t mind, right? They are mindless and the fellow was fairly friendly towards me (I think), maybe if I replace this weapon with one of the goblin's weapons he wouldn´t notice, right? I mean, since they are mindless they wouldn`t notice the difference between a dagger and a sword, right?"

With such thoughts, several hours have passed. In those hours I was able to have a basic understanding of the area around the lake. They were two different paths that I haven`t explored yet but that didn`t matter right now.

Why?

Cause I already found the place where I was going to make myself at home!

Near the opposite side of the lake where I started from, behind some stacked rocks that looked like they were played by someone else was a cave, although the rocks were supposed to hide the cave behind it didn't help much. The cave that I had my eyes on had unfortunately been already taken by goblins and what seemed like a much larger group than the group of 4. But that didn`t matter.

"Ah, unfortunate, so, unfortunately. It's truly sad" I shook my head with an expression (not that I have one) similar to when you drop you a double ball of ice cream after one lick.

"Well....it isn't like it is I that will face this unfortunate here though" Unconsciously I had put a vicious grin on my face and my eyes showed a spark of dark green light which instantly disappeared right after appearing.
