Different kinds of monsters are starting to come out, like kobolds, goblins, killer ants, and needle rabbits.
'Well, let's start this game after all, I couldn't kill any monster except one this day.'
After the monsters noticed me, all of them started to rush at me.
I began to run at them as well, readying my nail.
First, the needle rabbit is the fastest of all of them, so you must get rid of them first.
10 of them coming at me in a group was a mistake.
"Empty Flash"
I cast as it annihilates the needle rabbit instantly.
The killer ants in huge numbers are coming at me. I know I could use this skill.
-Inhale-SCREEAAAM-
I used the monster scream to paralyze the ants; unknown to me, the goblin and the kobolds fell to their knees with fear in their eyes.
I walked to them as they stopped moving because they knew that if they moved, they would be killed anyway.
-Splash-
-splash-
-grkkk!-
I started to kill them one by one until I sensed danger.
-Cling-
An attack came at me, but I managed to parry it in time.
'What the hell, I didn't notice its presence until now!'
The monster came into full view.
A dark humanoid monster that has long arms with three claws that are sharp like knives.
But what shocked me the most was its eyes that shine with white color.
'System is that-'
[Yes, Host, that's a war shadow that's been infused with the void.]
'But doesn't that mean the dungeon knows about the void now?'
[Host, the dungeon knows the results, but it doesn't know the steps.]
[It's like a mathematical problem; you can't get the answer without using the steps.]
'Then this is good.'
[However, it knows that you're connected to it, so it will kill you and try to study your body.]
'Never mind.'
The war shadow moved again, clashing with my nail.
-CLING-
-CLING-
'Damn, it hits like a truck even though I'm parrying it.'
[Host, I suggest you use that move.]
'Oh, you mean that one.'
In the Hollow Knight world, using the focus ability heals the user's injuries, but I manage to find another use for it.
You see, the Focus ability is the reason for channeling the souls to the user to heal, but I didn't use it to heal. I used it to strengthen my body.
This is the reason why I came out with 1 mask every boss fight.
'I need 1.14 seconds to finish the channel.'
I began to distance myself from it, but it seems it read my mind.
Raising its claws, then slashing them down.
Seeing me shocked, it thought it won, but it didn't go as it planned.
I used the Shade Dash to go through the monster, making it confused.
This gives me enough time to focus.
The moment it noticed me, it was already too late.
I rotated, looking at the monster with a smirk.
"What's wrong, surprised?"
It launched itself at me with its claws, aiming at my chest.
But before the attack connected, I grabbed its wrist while smiling.
"You're good, but not enough."
I didn't waste time as I cut its body in half, making its other half fall on the ground.
'System, how do I remove the void from its body?'
[Use the void tendril to devour the body.]
I did what the system said. Then the realization hit me.
'Wait, how many monsters are there with the void?'
[In every floor Host.]
'...'
Haah, this is going to take a whole night to kill all of them.
[Host, you must be careful because the dungeon might unleash an irregular monster.]
'What is the percentage of this happening?'
[50/50]
'Good, I think?'
The whole night went by, me killing every monster that's been fused by the void.
Strangely, some monsters came to me that weren't supposed to be on this floor, like Minotaurs.
Does the dungeon want me dead that badly?
[...]
['Should I tell him...nah, let him figure it out by himself']
----------------------------
[Secret quest completed: devour anything that's related to the dungeon (Monsters don't count).]
[Rewards]
Absolute Radiance: Teleportation.
--------------------------
'Devour anything that relates to the dungeon, is it the memory?'
[Yes, Host]
'Then this is good.'
I was on my way to the surface where the light appears.
'I can just teleport to the guild and give these magic stones easily.'
'Oh, right, let me see how many magic stones I have.'
I opened the Void storage to see a mountain of stones, but what caught my eye was something else.
'Why is there a body?'
[Host, this person is one of the evilus group.]
'Is that why my stats grew so much?'
[Yes, Host and you also devoured 5 level 3 adventurers.]
'Wow, so that's why.'
Anyway, let's take these stones to the guild.
[Host, I suggest you transport some souls to these stones to raise their value.]
'Good idea system, that's why you're the best.'
I started to use Focus on each stone, which took 3 hours.
'Finally, it's Done.'
[Host, you can leave now.]
'I was about to do that even if you didn't tell me.'
I used teleportation to be in front of the guild building.
I went inside to find Rose, which was easy because of her hair, as no one had red hair except her.
"Rose, I'm here."
I waved my hand at her making her notice me.
"Allen...did you go to the dungeon?"
"Yes, but how did you know?"
"Your full of monsters blood and you smell bad."
'Oh'
"anyway, what can I help you today"
"Oh, right first we need somewhere private." I said with a serious face which made her nod.
"Follow me then."
'That was fast.'
