The Ruined Death Knight

In the captured Cave.

It has been a little more than five hours that the against the group with the helmet goblin.

In that time I focus myself wholly on training so that I can master the mana in my body. Although mastering would be too much. More like getting more familiar with how mana feels like.

Just imagining using [Sprint] just like the helmet goblin did bring me excitement!

[You gained 300 Experience Points through training]

"Another hour done, huh? Maybe it´s time to take a short break and take a look at my status. And with my bones now healed I might as well make another cloth armor."

I went out and picked out some cloth that I had previously gathered from all around the gate and sit on the throne.

While I was making my new "cloth armor" I opened up my status though using my mind.

"Hmm, still not fully recovered even after five whole hours, huh?"

Even though my ribs have been fully restored the feeling of coldness and emptiness still lingered around my ribs. Although not that strong.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like having a bruise or something the like. Although the wound is closed, the pain is still there.

"Tch. I will never get used to this feeling. Anyways I should be able to level up by the XP that I gathered by now. Show me my XP storage."

[XP: 1500]

[Level]: 900 XP required

"I can Increase my level by one now and the next level should be around 1000 XP. Maybe If I increase my level high enough I might unlock the sub-class just like I unlocked my class."

[Level has increased from Lv.5 to Lv.6]

[Strength increased by 1, Agility increased by 1 and Endurance increased by 1]

[You received 1 Attribute Point]

"Oh? It seemed like I needed to unlock my class to receive attribute points. I wonder where I should spend in on."

Seeing that I finally got an attribute point I was somehow excited. I have thought for a long time what the requirements were to gain attribute but it seemed like it was just by increasing my level or by use of [Miasma Corruption].

Well, although I said a long time, it has been barely more than four days since I awaken from the lake.

...

Anyways!

Where the heck should I put my attribute point into?

Strength?

No, I already have enough Strength, and putting more points into it would be just kind of overkill. Heck, if my Strength increases anymore I would have to worry about not breaking my sword when using it.

Strength, Rejected!

Other than Strength, the other stats need to be considered thought...

Agility would allow me to move more smoothly and faster than before, even if it is only a slight increase. A good choice overall.

Intelligence would probably increase my mana amount by around 10 points...Although it wouldn´t improve my basic Strength, it might allow me to use one of my skills one more time.

And Endurance will just plainly increase my health by 50 points. Even though it doesn´t sound as amazing as the other stats, it shouldn´t be underestimated. Been able to receive one more hit is already amazing enough.

After thinking it about for around a few minutes I came to my decision.

[Intelligence increased by 1]

[Remark: A Skeleton that awakened this death aura. Although current you are pathetically weak, your potential just started to sprout.]

I decided to choose intelligence over the other stats cause it can´t be raised with just level-ups. Sooner or later I will get multiple skills to use which would require mana. Having my Intelligence stay at such a low mana pool would only limit me in the future.

"With that decided... I still have 600 XP left in the storage. And I would need about 4600 XP to increase my level to level 10 if the current price increases only about 100 XP. If I do that I might be able to unlock my sub-class but that isn´t guaranteed..."

Thinking that at level 10 my sub-class will get unlocked might be a little too naive. I might just get level 10 and nothing gets unlocked!

That would be awkward!

"Maybe I should Increase my Class level? I might unlock some new skills or just increase my attributes but other than that...Wait, how much does even the level-up option cost for my class?"

[Undead Warrior Level]: 500 XP required

"Oh my, just 500 XP? I guess it shouldn´t hurt increasing my class level by just 1" I reached my hand and pressed the level up option for my class.

[Undead Warrior Level has increased from Lv. 1 to Lv2]

[Strength increased by 2, Agility increased by 1 and Endurance increased by 1]

[You received 1 Attribute Point]

"That´s..." Seeing the amount of stats that my class level up gave me I felt somehow glad and somehow dejected at the same time...

Why would it give me 2 points at Strength and the others 1 point? Couldn't you just spare me the 2 points of strength and just put 1 point into intelligence!?

"Sigh...I might as well start using the spear, for now, although I prefer the sword rather than the spear, I don´t think it will last long with my current strength increase. If I am lucky with it maybe some swings..." After looking around the status window for a little more I stood up from the throne and picked up the spear from a nearby barrel where I stored all kinds of stuff including some other weapons that the goblin was using.

Although most of them were some rusted knives and axes or worn-out spears. Basically junk.

The best weapons that I could find inside this whole cave were the sword that I was using together with the shield.

Well, the shield had about the same quality level as the junk that the goblins were using, but since there is only one of them, you could technically say that it is the strongest shield from inside this whole cave!

As for the sword that I kept using I would say that it had about the same quality as the spear that the helmet goblin had if only it wasn´t worn out and rusted.

"Sigh...Why do weapons have to rust and get worn out? Isn´t there a weapon somewhere out there where it doesn´t get damaged or having this edge lost after some swings?

"...Or maybe shoot fire from the tip and being able to float with just using the mind?" As I was fantasizing about some useless stuff, I started training using my spear in one hand and the shield in the other.

Although I felt somehow awkward using a new weapon, it wasn´t as bad as when I first started using the shield.

While I continued my training to get familiar with the spear, I got interrupted mid-training by some low screeches.

"So they even came back..." Hearing the screeches I stopped my training and prepared to head towards the outside.

But the next moment I turned around I was stunned.

"I see...you guys learned your lesson and tried to sneak up to me didn´t you?"

What surprised me were the five goblins that were in the throne room entrance walking slowly towards me.

Normally I would be able to notice the goblins the moment they came inside the cave. Since if they screeched just a little bit I would be able to hear it from inside the throne room through the echoes of the cave.

But them being here without me noticing means that they tried to stay silenced so that I wouldn´t notice them.

"And here I thought that those goblins were just plainly stupid..." I turned around and started walking slowly towards them.

Seeing me walking slowly towards them, the five goblins screeched out loud and started running towards me at full speed!

"Hmm? Do you guys come at me without any weapons? You underestimate yourselves!"

As the weaponless reached near me, I ruthlessly pierced the first goblin through this chest while dragging him with my spear and throwing it at the side.

"Pathetic..." Seeing the goblin just rushing towards me without anything I felt somehow dissatisfied.

I put my guard up and you just jump towards my spear without a second thought? What did you think will happen if you jump at me like that?

Removing the useless thought from my mind, I turned around expecting the other goblins to run away as the other group had.

But...

"Kgwaah!"

The four goblins were still running towards me without a sign of stopping.

"Hmm?" Aren´t you guys too brave to run at me like that?

Seeing one of the goblins jumping at me with this mouth open full of saliva I blankly stared at it with disgust.

"You plan to bite me or what?"

I raised my shield and hit the goblin directly at this jaw bow!

*crack

"Kgwha!"

The hit sends the goblin rolling to the other side while flesh and teeth flew out of this mouth.

Seeing that the other 3 goblins were unfazed, rather they rushed at me with more vigor. I felt something was wrong.

"Weird..."

Just as I was about to pierce the next incoming goblin with my spear. The unexpekted happend.

The already pierced goblin jumped at me from behind me and bit my collarbone.

"What!?"

Surprised, I hastily pierced the goblin that was rushing towards me and abandoned my spear inside this body. With my hand now free to use I gripped the goblin that was biting from the neck and throw it in front of me.

Though my superior strength and bodyweight of the goblin such action were easily done.

The goblin that I threw crushed towards on top of one of the rushing goblins while the last goblin that was still coming at me receive a taste of my punch which caved in on part of this skull.

*Cracked!

After carefully observing the goblins I was honestly shocked.

The goblin that had this jaw bone destroyed still tried to make the motion of biting while the goblin with this skull half crashed was still slowly moving and trying to rise.

Heck! One goblin literally had my whole spear inside this body, directly where this heart was supposed to be pierced and still moved like the spear wasn´t in this body!

"There is no way that these things are normal goblins! Status!" With a single command, the status of the goblin with the crushed skull came to my sight.

"I see..."

Seeing the goblin slowly standing up and ready to pouch at me at the next second I couldn´t help but had I awkward look at me.

"I see now why you guys are so brave! You aren´t goblins! You are Undead!"
