I picked up all the produce from the ground and put it in the bag.

  "Oh no! The tomatoes have gotten bruised! Mama Mia is going to kill me!" the girl said fussing over the bruised red fruit.

  I held out my hand "Give them to me and I'll fix them up for you. it's the least I do after actally running into you like that." I said holy.

  The girl looked fused but did as I asked and with a quick application of my teique the tomatoes were as good as ever and I had even improved the fvor by a small amount.

  "You magic is beautiful and useful, would you sider w at the Hostess of fertility?" the girl asked with a bright smile.

  "Not for me I'm afraid, I'm an adve heart. Thanks for the offer though and please do have a good day." I said before hurrying away as I was still very eager to get into the dungeon.

  The girl seemed nid all but I had better things to do than socialize. After rushing food forty minutes I finally reached the entrao the dungeon. It was uhe tower of babel and had two guards at either side of the door whn everyoering the dungeon which made me think they were here more for the mohan the people. The entrao the dungeon itself was a winding rough stairway that appeared to have been carved from the walls themselves.-

  Unlike most people think the first floor of the dungeon actually had a bunch of different zohat could be found via the "doorways" along the walls of the stairs but all lead to the lower floors eventually. I like so many other adventurers chose a random entrand ehe first floor proper. The yout of the first few floors was the same with it having dark stone walls like that of a cave but strangely weren't pitch bck at all for some reason and you could see easily here.-

  I immediately walked over to a wall and put my hand on it and trying to activate my cursed teique but I got no respo not for the reason I had expected. I could feel that the dungeon was alive or at the very least had something indistinguishable from it but my teique was simply uo effect the thing.-

  If I had to expin it was like my teique tried to attach itself to the dungeon but simply couldn't get a grip if that makes sense. Despite this however the dungeon clearly DIDN'T appreciate the attempt as the walls crumbled and five humanoid creatures with green skin and wooden ons came from them, goblins. I cursed and quickly drew out my on before rushing at the first goblin o me that was still disoriented from just being born. Swinging wide with the hammer part I ected with the side of it's head.-

  "CH!"

  I flinched as I felt the flesh and bone crad shatter on impact through the hammer. It was a siiion for someone who had never killed anything iionally before like me but I didn't have time to pte it as the rest of the goblins yelled and charged at me. The first goblin was obviously dead sidering I had colpsed it's skull with my very heavy on. I knew from the Artemis familia that monsters in the first four floors weren't much more durable than a normal human so it holy wasn't that difficult to kill them quickly if you hit the right spots.-

  Of the four remaining goblins it was oh a wooden club that reached me first and the thing viciously leapt up and tried to crack my own skull with the thing. I dodged to the side and swung my axe head side at the goblins side which I immediately regretted as the ribs ched and split with blood p out and this awful sound from the luing crushed came from the goblins mouth. The weight of the blow sent the creature sprawling to the side making a terrible gurgling sound as it tried and failed to breath.-

  Again I had no time to deal with the mental pressure this brought to my mind as the wo goblins arrived, oh a sharp wooden spear and oh a club. My only saving grace was that these things were wild and didn't work well together. the spear goblin tried to stab me but the club goblin got in the way ending up getting stabbed in the back. It got hit in the perfect location for the magic stoo get hit which killed the thing instantly and it exploded into bck smoke with red sparks in it.-

  Unlike what I was expeg however where the smoke would just clear out like the Artemis familia had told me it instead got sucked into the tattoo on my chest.

  'The fuck?' I thought in plete fusion but snapped out of my shock when the spear goblin didn't st to kill me.

  The st goblin that also had a spear caught up and I had the py dodge the stabby sticks food five minutes with not great results before I got an oppurtunity to crack my hammer side against a skull again leavio deal with only one goblin.-

  The st goblin had no sense of self preservation ao stab me again but I frankly had had enough of getting cut up by barely dodging the things and after avoiding the spear grabbed it with my left hand and activated my cursed teique. Immediately the wood that the goblin was holding grew spikes through it's palm making it scream and try to drop the spear. taking advantage of this distra I stepped forward with my on and brought it down as hard as I could onto the st goblins head.-

  The skull was totally demolished with blood p out everywhere as the goblins body dropped. My senses were alive as adrenaline coursed through my veins and I was gasping and panting heavily in exhaustion. It took five minutes for me to recover and start to calm down and ahirty to stop vomiting as my mind caught up with the brutal nature of what I had done. Don't get me wrong I uood the y of it but that didn't mean actually doing the stuff wasn't hard on the mind at first.-

  The fact I had basically killed four things at once definitely hadn't helped at all. If it was only one like I had inally phen it wouldn't have been so bad but I pissed off the dungeon a little and got four. came the really unfortable part though, magic stone colleonsters all tained magic stones somewhere in their body, usually the chest, that you o harvest or risk a variant showing up which was a mutation of a normal mohat grows by eating magic stones. Iingly a monsters body won't vanish until the stone was harvested and drops don't appear either.
