Chapter 8

<Keenan; remaining lives: 6; back to tend – checkpoint 1-Stage 2>

Keenan was back in the tent. The voice of the hideous creature was heard, just like it had happened before he died.

"You should be more careful, Keenan. Remember, you don't have an immortal yet and we are only at stage 2, the journey is still very long. You'd better check your information now."

!Information;

[Name: Keenan Barker]

[Strength: 10000/level 4]

[Role: Leader/Saber Expert]

[Attack speed: 40% up to 75% - 40%]

[Type of Attack: Non ranged – Sword]

[Level based: 1 to 60]

[Gold: 8000]

[Health: 10000/10000]

"We lost gold, power and attack speed. We can't fight that monster, his power is higher than mine."

Keenan began to move all over the side of the tent, his eyes then fell on the pile of crates on the right side with a lever next to it. Keenan tried to move the lever, and his hunch turned out to be right. The stacked empty chest split in half and revealed a ladder going underground.

"Great!"

Sixth then followed the stairs. The road is neat, the lighting is perfect from the torches attached to the left and right.

"This road leads north of the harbour close to our destination, Boyle's shop. The map has reappeared and leads to Boyle's shop! Looks like we managed to escape."

A red door appeared after they had walked down the hall for five minutes. Keenan quickened his pace and opened the door. The ladder reappeared and connected to a sewer in the street.

"Does your map say we are going the right way?" asked Keenan to Wicky the assistant.

"Yes. After all, there's no other way for us to go through besides the red door."

Keenan nudged his head towards the exit, he peeked and made sure there were no more dangerous creatures waiting for him.

"Situation clear, we can get out."

Keenan jumped out and immediately ran. Luckily, at that time no people were passing by so Keenan didn't look suspicious.

Wicky again led the way, according to the directions on the map, they were just a short distance from Boyle's shop.

"Alright, the grey house ahead is the stopping point, according to the map."

Keenan arrived in front of a house with a black fence with a large tree on the left side of the yard. The house looked deserted. There were no signs that anyone occupied the place. The grass seems tall.

"Are you sure this is our goal?"

"Yes, the directions have stopped. This is Boyle's shop."

Amid Keenan's doubts, the gate suddenly opened. Keenan frowned and looked around, the atmosphere was quiet, no one was in sight. Keenan took his sword and stepped inside.

He always turned his body to look around every step so that no enemy could attack him.

As with the fence, the door of the house opens by itself.

"Wicky, do you think we should go in?"

"As long as you're careful and alert, it's fine. This house is our goal."

Keenan nodded, he stepped back into the house. The door immediately closed as his whole body entered the house. Pitch darkness became Keenan's biggest enemy at the moment, he couldn't see anything.

Keenan smiled a crooked smile, he then jumped and played with his sword, dodging every arrow that was flying towards him.

Sixth stopped in the middle of the house. The attacks stopped, but even so, he remained alert and strained his ears to catch the sound of the attacks.

And sure enough, the footsteps of someone running entered Keenan's ear. Just when someone was about to attack him from behind, Keenan immediately swung his sword and pushed the man's body away using the back of the blade which was not sharp;

"Ugh!" A man's pained voice rang out, his body smashed against the wall. Simultaneously, the lights in the room turned on.

[Name: Boyle Tristan]

[Favourites: squid ink, whale liver, shark head – giving Boyle's favorite item can give him one additional secret weapon]

The blue-haired man rose from his position and approached Keenan.

"You're great. What do you want? Sorry if I attack you, I'm just guarding against the evil pirates who usually force me to make the weapon they want."

"I want the same thing as the pirate, but without coercion. I need a secret weapon to fight with the dwarves."

Ah, you need the green mahogany, the pearl guarded by the red dragon and 10 bottles of beer so I can finish quickly.

<Side quest: make the secret weapon>

"Okay, I'll be right back with all your needs."

Keenan turned around and walked away from the empty house. However, Boyle called out to him when Keenan was about to close the door.

"Hey! Be careful with the red dragon, just come to him when the tide is towards twelve o'clock, you can see him from the lighthouse. The wave was at twelve o'clock long enough, about an hour and a half. Take your time."

"Yeah, thanks."

**

"Okay, Wicky, what do we need now? I think mahogany green is the easiest thing to do first."

"Yup, you're right. Our goal is a mahogany forest guarded by a forest elf. It is located behind this port. Let's go!"

Keenan and Wicky started moving according to the direction given by the map. The twilight sky looked a little overcast and dark, Keenan's heart began to get nervous, he felt traumatized when the sky suddenly changed. The announcement of death is like a scary thing.

"Keenan, we can use the horse to leave."

Wicky let out a green light from his eyes directed at a black horse on the side of the road. You can also see a green [?] mark above the head.

The horse then became Keenan's choice to speed up their journey.

"Ah, this is interesting. I've never felt this great in my life. This dashing and adventurous horse is so perfect, it's a shame there has to be the burden of saving so many people," he muttered.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at a green mahogany forest. The trees were neatly arranged with yellow light surrounding each tree. The sight was warm and beautiful.

Keenan began to enter the forest. Several fairies flew after him, their faces looking hideous, with long ears and big eyes. They didn't attack, but Keenan felt his chest getting tighter and hotter like it was burning.

< Avoid getting behind the forest fairies, they will give poison from the smoke their bodies emit. The poison will kill you slowly. While chopping down a tree, make a zigzag motion to fool the forest elf>

"Okay, don't expect to kill me!"

Keenan slapped the horse's rear and their speed increased. He was at the front of the forest elf holding his nose. His right hand began to swing the sword at a small mahogany tree. As ordered, Keenan would make a zigzag motion whenever he swung his sword.

A small explosion sounded, when Keenan turned around, it was seen that the fairies had turned into pink powder. Their bodies collided and shattered as they chased after Keenan at high speed.

One mahogany tree managed to get Keenan. His great strength allowed Keenan to carry a long tree using one hand.

"You're so cool, Keenan! We must put this tree in Boyle's yard and go to the lighthouse to watch the waves move."

"Take us faster, my horse! Our time is limited, show your strength!" shrieked Keenan.
