Chapter 30 - Healing Potions
Kevin was focused on his two opponents and now that he was moving so fast he could easily parry their attacks and fight back.
Their armors were still too strong for him to pierce through them with his daggers, so he decided to cut the fasteners directly.
The elite knight orcs saw nothing coming and when their armors began to fall off, Kevin took advantage of their astonishment to stabbed them with his daggers into all the vital points that were within his reach.
But he was still a little too weak and his weapons not powerful enough so these two elite knight orcs despite being hit in vital points, could still fight.
He chose then to severing their ankle tendons so they couldn\'t move anymore, and once he disarmed them, they were at his total mercy and he stabbed them until he heard the sound of the System echoing in his head.
Axel eventually approached Kevin and said : "Good job Kev, that was really impressive like always."
Kevin smiled at him satisfied then he looked at himself and decided to change his clothes, his sweater was covered in green blood and there were laceration marks on it, he really didn\'t like keeping clothes like that on him.
When he took it off, he saw that he had some cuts on his arms and on his chest, so he would also need to change his t-shirt and he removed it too.
Axel swore and looked more closely at his wounds and he said to him : "We will have to take care of them right away, so they won\'t get infected ... If I had known I would never have let you face them."
Kevin put a hand on his cheek and said : "I\'m fine, these cuts aren\'t deep, let me look at what the System has given us as rewards."
Kevin\'s eyes widened in surprise and he stopped Axel who was already taking out the first aid kit that he had made himself to treat him, he read to him super excited the messages he had just received.
[ Congratulations, you killed a level 22 elite knight orc, you earned 2 150 gold coins, 760 exp points and 12 healing potions low grade. ]
[ Congratulations, you killed a level 25 elite knight orc, you earned 2 750 gold coins, 1 000 exp points and 15 healing potions low grade. ]
[ Congratulations, you have leveled up 3 times, 3 points has been added to all your STATS. ]
Axel told him immediately after recovering from the surprise of this news : "Kev hurry up and see how many potions you have to take to be completely healed."
Kevin followed his advice and still shirtless he looked at his Inventory menu and with the help of his mind he made one of the healing potions appear in his hand, a message popped up above it.
[ ITEM ]
Healing potion low grade : instantly recovers 10 HP.
He then checked his Stats and saw that he had gotten to level 8 and that his HP was 63 / 80.
He told all this to Axel who heaved a sigh of relief and made him drink 2 healing potions. After that, his cuts were totally gone leaving no trace.
Kevin exclaimed once again completely amazed by this new world : "So cool !"
Axel took him in his arms and said : "Having these healing potions is a real relief, it looks like the one the Sun Sect sells for 50 gold coin, with these potions you can keep fighting against this kind of monster, after all the stronger you get, the less chance you have of getting hurt."
Kevin was really delighted to hear Axel say that, he kissed him quickly on the lips and moved away from him to put another t-shirt and sweater back on him.
While changing he asked Axel curious : "Do bodies lose value when they are mutilated ?"
Axel promptly replied : "Of course they lose some of their value, but don\'t worry, we will still get a good price for them."
After saying that Axel immediately placed the bodies of the monsters in his magic bag and he suddenly said to Kevin : "I found the box Kev, it\'s right at the back of the gallery."
Kevin quickly joined him and looked in the direction he was pointing. Thanks to his perception skill he immediately saw the box and said to Axel : "Great, it\'s a medium grade box !"
Axel put his arm around his shoulders and guided him to the box, this time it wasn\'t hidden and Axel quickly broke the lock and then opened it.
He looked at his man with obvious excitement in his eyes waiting for him to tell him exactly what was inside.
Kevin smiled at him and read him the information he had.
[ MEDIUM GRADE BOX ]
- 4 200 gold coins
- 4 × Medium grade Hand wraps : + 30 Strength points, + 20 Stamina points.
Kevin took two of them and wrapped them around Axel\'s hands and Axel did the same with Kevin\'s hands.
Kevin was wondering if those Stats were for the 4 hand wraps or only 1 of them, so he checked his Stats with the holographic screen and he was pleasantly surprised.

He happily said to Axel : "Guess what, those Stats were for one of them so it has added 60 Strength points and 40 Stamina points for the both of us."
Axel then said regretful : "If I had known sooner that simple items like that could gave me Stats, I would have bought them a long time ago."
Axel then said to Kevin as he stood up : "You keep the boxes, I keep the bodies, okay ?"
Kevin nodded and put the box in his magic bag he asked him : "What\'s waiting for us in the other gallery ?"
Axel replied as he guided him to the other gallery : "You\'re going to be able to enjoy yourself, there are no high level monsters on this side, so you will be able to kill them easily."
Kevin was way too excited, he already was at level 8 and that was only the beginning of this dungeon.
How many more levels would he be able to get ... What kind of treasures would they get .... Looting a dungeon was really too cool !
