Hell Yeah we do!

Some would say this decision was suicide. Generally, I would agree with them. I however, am a kobold who has awaken the powers of the FUCK YOU dragon in his viens. While I would not have as many skills or abilities as a true warrior or mage of equivalent level nor be as well equipped, I should still be able match or exceed them in raw power.

Besides, even without looking at them I could tell what some of those quests were. If I was gonna take those heroes down I was gonna need a final of my own. So I take a deep breath and mentally click [Enter].

WARNING: You are below the minimum level of this dungeon! Once you enter you will be unable to adjust your stats or flee!

Do you still wish to enter [DEN OF THE LORD OF GRASS] [YES] [NO]?

Well the warning was nice but I’m still gonna do it. Mentally clicking yes, I feel myself begin to rush into the dungeon without telling my body to do so.

‘Okay, I guess POV cutscenes are a thing.’ Looking around the entrance I see 2 large hyenas, who seemed to have noticed me as well. Using my Observe skill gives me a quick run down on them. As they began to rush me

Level: 45

HP:800

ATTACKS: Bite: tier 4

PASSIVE: Pack tactics: tier: 6

‘Alright I guess if I see a horde of these I have to go for AOE tactics. I doubt I could take too many at once. Especially since I don’t have a lore on therionic creatures.’

I firm up my stance, which triggers my brawl skill and once they get into range I a massive torrent of flames from my maw. The hyenas must not be used to fighting draconic beings because their eyes showed shock before the flames wash over them.

DAMAGE:720x2=1440!

As I let my breath peter out I see the two hyenas crash into the ground and wimper pitfitly. I quickly make my way to them and finish them off with my claws.

[BATTLE COMPLETE] Reward: 180 EXP,!

I quickly toss the corpses into my inventory to be harvested and move deeper into the den. Soon I find myself faced with more hyenas. A lot more hyenas, all stronger than the ones I just faced. One in particular near the back seemed stronger than the others.

[Cursed Hyena]x15

HP: 1500

ATTACKS: Bite: tier 5

PASSIVE: Pack tactics: tier: 7

[Fel Hyena]

“Okay! Now we have a fight!” Once more taking a stance as five of charge at me, with the rest getting ready to follow. I unleash my flame breath a second time. Time I take full advantage of the time powers I possess. The first three crash into from taking so much damage so quickly, the other 2 manage to get in close combat range and moved to bite me. I'm able to dodge one but the other manages to get my arm in its jaws.

[HIT] 156 Damage taken! [GRAPPLE CHECK] Failed! [GRAPPLE CHECK] Resisted!

While I failed to get the beast off my arm it's not able to drag me to the ground. As the 3 hyenas I nearly burnt to a crisp try to get their feet another squad of 5 begin to move to support the others. The leader and their primary squad trailing just behind.

Realizing the simple but effective plan the hyenas had, I moved both myself and the hyena clamped on my right arm with me to a more narrow part of the den. The only fresh hyena uses this as another opportunity to bite me and succeed the second time.

[HIT] 156 Damage taken!

I then quickly ran through my multi-strike options. I grin and cast a flame missile. Thanks to my [Elemental Infusion] perk I successfully cast it despite the unwelcome burdens of a hyena on my arm and back. 6 missiles fly forth. Normally these wouldn't be the most dangerous thing, but with my boosted magic they struck and struck hard! Hitting each of the hyenas closest to me, giving the best news with it.

[CRITICAL HIT!]x6

[Damage!] 726×2=1,452

3 of the first squad are out right incinerated from the damage and one of the charging group collapses. The other 2 fall heavily from the sheer damage taken, leaving my arm and shoulder free. Capitalizing on my chance, I strike the remaining 2 with my tail finishing them off.

The Fel hyena howls then and the remaining hyenas charge me to wipe me out before I can capitalize on my new found momentum.

Looking through my priest spells I quickly cast minor regenerator, which doubles my HP regeneration, and minor blessings which gave me a 20% boost to damage and defense. The melee then began in full.

I used my tail swipe to trip the remaining 4 of the squad trying to trip them, now relying on the [Time Juice] perk to double my possible actions. I trying to strike as hard as I could felt my stamina dip a good bit, but the benefit was immediately understood. I had gained the power attack skill.

[HIT]x3

[CRITICAL HIT!]x1

[Damage!] 190!

[Damage!] 380!

[Trip!]x4 success!

With 4 of them in a heap on the floor, the remaining 7 were slowed down. 2 fell into the heap, unable to stop their charge in time the remaining 5 were more prepared. 2 managed slow down and stop before falling into the pile, while the remaining three leaped over the kin to strike me. They each get a bite in though only the leader succeeds at staying on.

[HIT!]x3

[Damage!] 250x2=500! [GRAPPLE] Resisted!

[Damage!] 108! [GRAPPLE] Failed! [GRAPPLE] Resisted!

"Ahh! Fuck! Flame Missile!"

I will another set of 6 missiles into existence. I'm starting to run low on mana and HP at this point. I aim two for their leader's back hoping her being stuck trying to bring me down will allow for an easy kill. The rest I send at each out the ones still standing. With confirmation comes hope of victory.

[CRITICAL HIT!] x2

[HIT!]x4

[Damage!] 726x2=1,452!

[Damage!] 726!

The fel hyena’s jaw loosen as it fell dead from the missiles. The 4 still standing wailed as they were struck. Then the entire group wailed as they saw the **** of their leader. I struck out with my tail again. Killing the 2 closest to me with a tail swipe. As I do so, I see the remaining 2 leap at me as rage and grief flash in their eyes. Tired as I was I couldn’t move quickly enough and was hit by both though fortunately they were both too weak to grapple me. They did give their comrades time to pick themselves up.

[HIT]x2

[Damage!] 39x2=78! [CRAPPLE] Resisted

I groaned from the damage taken, though I wondered why I had taken so little damage I ignored and fell back slightly, burning through the last of my mana to charge an [Flame Smite] it takes a full fifth of my mana and took 2 turns to charge and couldn’t crit but it hit so hard it didn’t need to, and I had time powers So fuck you fucking Hyenas!

[HIT]x7

[Damage] 1,265!

The Smite hit with such **** that I was knocked onto my back. The 3 were incarcerated by the blast and the remaining 4 were scorched severely, knocked down by **** of the blast furnace that came into existence above them. I drag myself to them and crack their necks with four more tail slaps.

“Hahhh..Hahhh..Hahhh… Stupid Dogs.... That'll... Show... You.. augh..” I then fall over exhausted though healing quicker than I would have without the minor regenerator spell used before being mauled by that pack. It and the blessing spell are probably the only reason I'm still I tried to focus on my breathing, trying to focus on resting and healing. After a while I’m to tune out the pain and feel my mana stamina recovery speed up. A meditation skill was likely mine now.

Fantastic, Now it won’t take hours for me to heal.
