Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 83 First Floor!! Stroll !?



Inside the labyrinth was an open field for as far as the eyes can see. Plain grassy field with dim sunlight. And fresh air coming towards them. It was a nice atmosphere there, but they didn\'t come here to enjoy or picnic. It was time to hunt monsters. They all knew how dangerous this place was besides its appearance.

Shin used predators\' eyes to locate the monsters. As he already knew what type of monsters there were on the first floor. He didn\'t have to think about or determine the different types of monsters. His only focus was on searching for Kobolds. And so he did.

He was able to sense the monsters. He wasn\'t going to just make his way to the second-floor entrance. He had to level up so he will kill all the monsters present here.

Shin took the lead and made his way towards the herds of monsters that Shin had sensed.

Although Simon still wanted to ask him a lot of questions about what he meant by being invisible and all, Shin didn\'t answer him. He only said that they will talk about this later now they had to clear the labyrinth and fight. It was not a place to chit-chat.

As the herd of monsters came into their view Simon was petrified in shock.

"Didn\'t you have a detection skill? So why did we end up finding so many monsters? There are more than hundreds of them." Simon questioned Shin as sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Yeah, I used my detection skill to search for them. I came here to level up dude. Of course, I\'ll search for more monsters, right?" Shin answered while knitting his brows as he didn\'t understand what Simon wanted.

Simon\'s face paled as he had only one thought in his mind. \'His best friend had gone crazy.\'

He turned his head to Alice and Elena to ask for their help so they can give Shin some piece of their mind. It was a stupid idea to confront hundreds of monsters to level up. Even he could only handle 15 max and that too only for a few minutes. Shin who was way below his level, what could he do?

But he got the same confused faces from Alice and Elena. Even they didn\'t understand what Simon wanted. They came here to hunt monsters so why would they not face them? They thought Shin was right.

Simon shook his head thinking \'Just what kind of crazy people am I surrounded by.\'

***

Shin got close to the herd of Kobolds. He activated his appraisal.

[Kobolds ( Level 10 - 15)]

\'What? They have levels.\' Shin didn\'t expect this but then he remembered something about Labrinth rules being different from others.

\'So the labyrinth must have based the power of monsters by level instead of a grade.\'

\'This is better for me. So I won\'t complain.\' Shin smiled and started activating his ability. He has decided to use his Electro bolt (C) ability to fight monsters.

"Electro bolt." As Shin said that a spark of lightning formed around his hands. The pure mana inside his body was circulating and gave more power to the electricity.

Shin smirked he was itching to test his skills and this was a perfect opportunity.

He shot the first Electro bolt at the Kobold herd and managed to hit 5 of them. Killing them instantly.

Seeing the power behind the attack made his blood boil in excitement.

"Wow, this is awesome."

The Kobolds also got alerted and started rushing towards Shin. He wasn\'t afraid of the incoming wave of monsters.

He just waved his hand and taunted them more. Shin started circulating more mana and started channeling them to make many Electro bolts.

He started shooting those terrifying attacks at the incoming wave, obliterating them.

"Hahaha, this is great."

Seeing Shin enjoy himself Alice also joined the fray. She started shooting Soul bombs.

*Boom*

*Boom*

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Kaboom*

...

After a few minutes of explosions and thunder attacks, the whole place turned deadly silent. All the kobolds were dead.

Shin used his Devourer\'s touch to recover all his mana and energy he lost, which wasn\'t much. After Shin took all their blood Alice summoned her soul grimoire to absorb the soul of all the monsters.

With this, the duo cleared a wave of Kobolds within a few minutes and were now ready to face another.

Simon and Elena were dumbstruck. Just what did they witness? Two low-level awakeneds just finished hundreds of monsters without breaking a sweat. Even if they did they recovered instantly.

Simon\'s face darkened. He remembered how proud he was in front of Shin, bragging about himself. After witnessing Shin and Alice\'s powers he felt embarrassed.

Elena was looking at Alice with a more competitive spirit.

\'She is strong.\'

Shin glanced at the notifications he got.

[You have killed 136 Kobolds.]

[You have gained experience.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[ +20 Bonus stats for leveling up.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 20 stat points.]

[You have absorbed a new skill \'Bite(G)\' X136.]

"Why aren\'t we collecting their parts?" Alice asked Shin remembering how delighted Shin always is whenever they collect monster parts. Now Shin took all the blood and she absorbed their bodies in the Soul Grimoire. So she wanted to know what Shin had planned.

"I don\'t think we need any kobold monster parts. I\'m sure the higher floor monsters will give more money." Shin replied. He was sure there will be many kobold parts in the market by now. He won\'t get a good price. So he didn\'t want to waste his time collecting them. He would rather finish them all and level up fast so he can move to the next floor.

"Shin, what was that? Aren\'t you super strong? Did you hide your level?" Simon started asking questions as soon as he got near them.

Elena also had many questions but she didn\'t ask when she saw the smirk on Alice\'s face. Which she hid perfectly once Elena saw that.

\'This bitch, I will wipe that smug look from your face soon enough.\'

Elena thought while maintaining her expressionless face.

"Calm down man. I never lied to you. My level was indeed 15 now it\'s 17." Shin replied with a smirk. He was enjoying seeing Simon\'s dumb face.

\'I\'ll explain them later.\' He never wanted to hide from them. He trusted them very much.

***

From the sounds of explosions and thunder, many monsters were alerted as they made their way towards Shin\'s location and the graveyard of hundreds of monsters where all the kobolds will die.

They were surrounded from all directions there were more than 300 kobolds there.

\'It seems most of the monsters from this floor are here.\'

It was a good turn of events. Now he won\'t have to go around searching for them.

Shin waited for the monsters to come a little closer.

"Gravity control." With his gravity control, he put pressure on them and started shooting off Electro bolts on them. One after another such thunder attacks decimated the monsters. Some wanted to run but the pressure didn\'t allow them to escape. They were trapped and this devil of a human won\'t leave them until they are all dead.

Alice started throwing those bombs too. Shin\'s gravity control made it easier for her to throw those bombs.

Some kobolds were able to get past the pressure. As Shin saw that, he gestured for Alice to finish it. She nodded and move her hands in the air as a silver scythe appeared in her hands. With a single swing, she finished them off. Shin formed 5 Electro bolts and finished the last remaining monsters.

Once again with their terrifying powers, they obliterated another wave of Kobolds.

[You have killed 298 Kobolds.]

[You have gained experience.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[ +30 Bonus stats for leveling up.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 60 stat points.]

[You have absorbed a new skill \'Bite(G)\' X298.]

Shin recovered his exhausted Mana and energy by using the devourer\'s touch. Alice absorbed all of those bodies in her soul grimoire.

*Ding*

[Congratulations on clearing the first floor. All the rewards will be distributed while exiting the Labrinth.]

[Please move to the next floor.]

As Shin read those notifications he started searching for his way to the second-floor entrance.

"Let\'s go guys. This floor doesn\'t have any monsters left. We have to go to the next one." Shin probed others to follow him. Alice and Elena followed him. Elena was also eager to show her powers she didn\'t get to do anything on the first floor.

Simon was just walking emotionlessly. He looked like an undead. His brain wasn\'t able to process anything.

\'What was that announcement?\'

\'Why didn\'t I ever hear about any announcement before?\'

\'Are those kobolds the same ones I fought?\'

\'Why do they look so weak and pitiful?\'

\'Where are those gross and terrifying monsters which I had been fighting?\'

\'Just what is going on?\'

\'Where am I? Who am I?\'

\'Someone please answer me.\'

Soon they entered the gate which lead them to the second floor and they vanished from there.
