Chapter 20: 20th Log – First Floor of The Dungeon

Zoe stepped into the room without hesitation, her eyes scanning the dark room in front of her. She could see the forms of several bats and goblins, their red eyes gleaming in the dim light.

 

She took a deep breath and steeled herself for the battle to come. The bats dashed off to her, their wings flapping menacingly. Suddenly, they opened their mouths, and beams of red laser light shot out, headed straight for Zoe.

 

Not expecting such an attack from the bats, Zoe was shocked. Although she dodged the first three laser attacks with her agility, she couldn’t fend off the last one. Just as she was worried about taking heavy damage, a vortex appeared in front of her and absorbed the laser attack. Zoe thought this card will really come in handy.

 

Roman, who was sitting at the entrance of the room, applauded enthusiastically. He burst out laughing and spoke. “Laser-shooting bats? I thought it would be boring to watch you fight with bats. Hahaha, that was really interesting.”

 

Zoe quickly sidestepped, dodging the incoming laser beams. She grabbed her sword tightly and brought it up to the guarding position. The bats swooped down on her, and their sharp claws extended. Zoe swung her sword, cutting through the first bat with ease.

 

The goblins were now moving forward, and Zoe now noticed that they were wearing armor. Their armor clanked loudly as they approached. They carried massive spiky clubs glinting in the dim light. Zoe stood her ground, ready for their attack.

 

The first goblin swung its club at Zoe, who deftly dodged to the side, then brought her sword down in a sweeping arc, cutting through the armor and slicing through the goblin's flesh. The second goblin roared and jumped at Zoe, who again dodged to the side and brought her sword up in a defensive posture.

 

She owed her ability to easily evade these attacks to her footwork practices with Lucy. Through days of training, Lucy had taught her well how to easily dodge an enemy rushing toward her. Assuming the goblins weren't very intelligent, she just need to dodge their attacks by sidestepping.

The remaining three bats were coming at her from all sides now, their laser beams flying past her in a barrage of red light. Zoe ducked and dodged, her sword flashing through the air as she battled her way through the horde.

 

Also, the goblins wielding huge clubs swung with deadly force and surrounded Zoe. She nimbly dodged the attacks, almost as if she was dancing, by ducking and scrambling. With her sword, she countered each strike that came her way. The battle was intense, with blows raining down on her from all sides, but Zoe was confident and didn't feel she would lose. The difference in her agility and theirs was evident, and she believed she wouldn't even sustain any damage.

 

But Zoe was not one to be underestimated, especially when she was cornered. The bats and goblins, however, were not aware of this. She fought with grace and skill, her sword flashing through the air and cutting down her enemies one by one. The goblins fell, their armor clattering on the ground, and the bats proved no match for her sword.

Finally, the last of the enemies had been defeated, and Zoe stood panting, her sword still at the ready. She scanned the room, surveying the aftermath of the battle.

Realizing that there were no more enemies left, she swung her sword to shake off the blood. She then bent down and wiped her sword clean with the cloth from one of the fallen goblins’ outfits.

Roman, who had watched the fight from the entrance, stood up and nodded to himself, impressed by Zoe's skills. He then started walking towards her. Zoe stood there for a moment, catching her breath, then sheathed her sword and continued walking toward the next room.

 

Zoe paused as if something had occurred to her. She wanted to check her trap card. She was surprised to see that the bat's attack had been blocked by her card.
