Chapter 21 - Stage 2
Now that Yuki knew that he was doing something wrong, he began to analyze his opponents. He thought of the first thing that happened once he entered the dungeon. He remembered the screen that popped up. "[Welcome to the dungeon: Forgotten Souls]". How could he forget. The dungeon was called "forgotten souls" which meant that it had something to do with souls.
Yuki took a guess that their weakness would be their soul. The most commonly believed place with a soul resides in is the heart. With nothing to lose, Yuki pulled his 30-inch sword and jabbed it within the chest of the skeleton in front of him. After what seemed like just a second, the skeleton turned into dust.

Now Yuki knew that he could actually kill the undead skeletons. He kept jabbing all of them in their chest and made sure they crumbled. While doing this, one of the skeletons brought its sword and prepared to swing it at Yuki. Instinctively, Yuki quickly reached into his pocket with his left hand and pulled out a dagger he had bought before he came to the dungeon. Since his right hand was occupied, he stopped the skeleton at his side with the dagger and killed the one that was occupying his right hand. Once he had his dominant right hand free, he swung his "Lucky Sword" at the skeleton which he was holding back with his dagger, completely slicing it in half and making it crumble to dust.
Yuki continued his massacre until he finally managed to make every monster turn to dust.

"That was a lot harder than I expected," Yuki said to himself as he took deep breaths.
[Stage one: Complete]
[Regretful Soldiers: defeated]
[Item drop: Crystal tear]
Curious to find out what the item he found was, Yuki double tapped on it to look at it's information chart.
[Item type: Crafting]
[Name: Crystal tear]
[Rank: D]
[Attack: 0]
[Description: Power: marital used to create the potion of "crying rain". When the king of a humble kingdom forced his subjects to war and let them to their doom, all their regret and sadness formed this crystal teardrop. Their souls still reside within this world until they are finally freed.]
Yuki wondered if the descriptions on each item was true or if it was just made up. They had such sad stories behind them which made Yuki feel pity for them.
Once Yuki had managed to kill all of the monsters, he finally had a chance to take a look at the dungeon properly. It was a circular inclosed space with pillars attached to it. There were many sharp engravings within the wall which glowed the game colour as the gate entrance. The parts of the wall which didn't have engravings on them were made of dark blue stone. Since the ceiling was enclosed as-well, there were purple torches placed around the pillars.
Right in front of Yuki was a gate looking structure which looked to be the save point as well as the entrance to the 2nd stage of the dungeon. To test his theory out, he walked towards the gate and stood there.

[Stage 2 difficulty: level 1-2]
Yuki was very exhausted but he knew that he needed to continue. He needed to become the strongest person in the world so that no one could harm him or his allies. Yuki took out 1 out of the 10 "full status recovery" potions he had bought for this dungeon. It cost him 200 silver for each one but they turned out to be a lot more useful than he thought. He regained his strength and all the stamina he had consumed in the previous stage.
Yuki took another deep breath before walking through the gate to the 2nd stage of the dungeon. As he walked through the gate, he noticed that the area was much larger than the previous stage. While the first stage was basically a graveyard with a diameter of only 50 feet, this stage was a large forest which rivalled the size of the forest which Jobon and the others were at.
He didn't know what monster he would face now so Yuki had his guard up as he slowly walked deeper within the forest. From the side of his eye, he spotted red eyed staring at him from a distance. He quickly turned around to get a better view of them but when he looked in that direction, they disappeared.
Yuki signed and turned back to the direction he had been facing before, to his surprise, he was completely surrounded. In front and to the side of him were 8 large zombified wolves which all looked like they wanted a piece of Yuki. Two of them leaped at him but right before they could attack him, he swung "Lucky Sword", slicing both their heads in half. Right as they dropped to the ground, they turned to dust.

[+100 exp X 2 = 200 exp]
"Good, at least there aren't any tricks in this stage," Yuki said to himself in relief.
He prepared himself to take on the other 6 zombified wolves but instead of attacking him, each of them made a pair and started moving closer to each other until they started turning into light and began deforming. After a few seconds, the light blob began taking shape into a wolf. However once the light disappeared, the wolfs were no longer the plain grey they once were, instead they had taken on a new colour. Now there were only 3 red wolves which looked a lot stronger than they used to.
Yuki could sense their power just by looking at them. Before he could even make the first move, all 3 of them leaped at him. Yuki tried slicing their head off like he did previously, however, the best he could do was deflect them. The wolves were now much stronger and faster than before. They could now keep up with Yuki.
