While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 23 - Completing Stage 1



The small white hare jumped back in retreat as the 5 arctic foxes charged towards it and Adam.

Seeing the beasts charging towards him being led by his Leporidae Summon, Adam felt adrenaline surge through his body as he prepared for battle. ​​

As his summon reached closer to him, it jumped up onto Adam's shoulder who was also charging at the beasts.

With its strong sense of smell and hearing, the blinded arctic fox sensed Adam charging towards it and feeling the distance being short it pounced as it unhinged it jaw revealing its dagger-like teeth.

Twisting his body with all his power and using the momentum of him charging forth, Adam swung his right fist with all the force he could produce and sent his fish crashing into the side of the beasts head.

The beast that was struck mid-air, was flung to the side as its trajectory was knocked off course, but before it hit the ground there was a white flash.

Adam's Leporidae Summon launched itself off Adam's shoulder and with its claws slashed open the side of the falling beast adding to its injuries as it slid across the ground and crashed into the corner of the closed cave.

The arctic fox beasts were even more enraged as they saw their companion on the verge of death whimpering in the corner of the cave.

Blood streamed out of the wound on its face and side and with such a hard strike to the side of its head, it was unable to move as it lost more and more blood and slowly died in pain.

{Would you like to collect this beast as your Canidae base beast. YES / NO} the system asked within his mind.

[No] replied Adam to focused on the battle before to care about gaining it as a summon.

However, by him declining he felt that something had entered his inventory as the beast's body disintegrated into pixels.

Adam jumped back to create some distance and quickly checked his inventory praying that it was a weapon of some sort to help him in the battle he was in.

E Rank Arctic Fang Dagger

Effects:

+2 in speed

"Just what I needed" he mumbled gratefully as he withdrew the dagger from his inventory.

It was a small dagger that was completely white and extremely sharp with a curved blade and a small hilt that perfectly fit his hand.

With a weapon, he felt less vulnerable against the beasts and knew that the longer the battle took, the more MP his summon would use, so charged straight at the rest of the beasts who were dazed by their dead companion. but now stormed at Adam in a frenzy.

"Support me with your speed, but don't get hit and manoeuvre around them with your speed" Adam ordered sternly to his summon, knowing that he was still in control over them from what the system told him.

The 4 beasts pounced at Adam with their claws wanting to slash at him, and after seeing their companion defeated when fighting solo, attacked together.

Adam knowing that 2 more stages were to come wanted to save as much HP as he could, and managed to evade three of them, but was struck by one of them that left three deep claw wounds on his back.

-18 HP

With his pain resistance and battle focus, he turned around rapidly and using the spinning momentum, dug his dagger into the neck of the beast that slashed him as the Lepoirdae Summon slashed at the throat another one of the beasts.

Both Adam and his summon, fatally injuring two of the opponents ran back in retreat, making distance between the two beasts left and giving time for the other two beasts to suffocate and die.

{Would you like to collect this beast as your Canidae base beast. YES / NO}

This time Adam accepted it as the beast disappeared and Adam felt it appear within his mind, knowing that there was still another one that would give him another dagger that he held in his left hand.

With his speed increased by 4 points, it became 19 and was almost on par with his Leporidae summon as he felt his body being massively boosted.

[Dual weapons are amazing and I can get twice the power boost than single weapons] Adam thought in awe of the speed he felt in his body.

In this state, he had double the speed of an average human. However, in the current state of reality, most were unhealthy and were subpar to the average that it should be and the average that the Dungeon System set and therefore was even faster than he thought.

The average sprinting speed of an average man is between 15 and 20 mph depending on small factors to do with their lifestyle that didn't affect them too much allowing them to still meet the average.

This made Adam able to reach speeds of around 40 mph, which was an incredible feeling for somebody who had an extremely weak body less than a week ago, before he had integrated with the Dungeon System.

With the two daggers in hand and now being faster than the fox beasts, Adam was confident in easily winning the battle, but the only thing he was trying to accomplish was to leave unscathed.

"Leporidae Summon Return" he ordered having used up 4 MP points by having it summoned.

Having 17 MP points, it wasn't detrimental and didn't have a massive toll on Adam, but he knew that it was better to save it and be prepared for the stages to come.

"I can finish this stage alone" he roared as he burst off his feet towards the final two arctic beasts.

Despite Canidae animals and beasts being very loyal and group orientated, fox beasts were unique in their cunning and sly nature that was mostly due to their intelligence that surpassed most other Canidae beasts.

Both gave up on the idea of battle and wanted to throw each other under the bus and find a way for their own survival.

But in those moments of hesitation and planning for a way out, Adam had already reached them and with his daggers in a reverse grip, dug them in the side of their throats and dragged the blade using his momentum and force as he ran past and ripped their bodies open as blood spurted all over him.

Instantly their body disintegrated into pixels like they usually would, but he noticed that the blood that went on him didn't disappear with it.

Adam sat down and caught his breath after his battle as he returned his daggers into the inventory.

[If this is stage 1 I wonder how hard the rest of this Sub-Dungeon will be] he thought to himself as three new tunnels appeared before him.
