The group has been defeated. There is little that they can do at that point. But even with this being the case, they still struggled to get up and continue the fight. They didn’t want to end it there. They wanted to finish the mission, all of them did.Unfortunately, their bodies aren’t listening to them anymore. All of them are on the ground and can’t get up anymore. There is also a searing pain that spread across their body in a surge. Making it even more difficult for them to move.Their senses have been dulled. There is a ringing in their ears and their eyes have begun to dim out the image of what is happening in front of them. But even then, they are able to see that the Alpha is now approaching them. Not only this but the strengthened great wolves are doing the same as well.However, there isn’t the slightest bit of worry in their minds. They didn’t see the undead of Asther anymore after all. This can only mean one thing. That the necromancer is about to make his move. And just
Five great wolves. That is the total number of wolves that Asther is able to bring back from the dead. Of course these are weaker compared to when they were alive. Plus, the gap between them and the great wolves of the alpha is widened even further because of the strengthening howl used by the creature on the lesser wolves.However, this isn’t a cause of concern for Asther. In fact, this has never been a cause of concern. Because although his undead are weaker, one fact remains the same. That these creatures will not die until he does and so, they can continue being aggressive without minding their defenses.Asther knows this and yet, it seems like the creature in front of him does not. The alpha made another ear-deafening howl. This time, it isn’t some kind of buff that he’s passing down, nor is it a debuff on Asther and his undead. No. The howl that the alpha made at that moment was to signal the beginning of the fight.The great wolves attacked immediately. Dashing towards Asther’s
[You have successfully defeated the Alpha.][You are granted 500 experience points per party member that joined the raid.][You have leveled up!]These are only some of the notifications that popped up as soon as the battle was finished. In all honesty, Asther thought that the alpha would be able to put up a better fight compared to what just happened. Unfortunately he is wrong.He overestimated the monster, forgetting that he himself has gotten stronger as well. After all the events that have transpired against the Ragencliffs, Asther not only gained a lot of experience points, but also materials, items, summons, and skills. All of these contributed on how he was easily able to overcome the Alpha of the great wolves.However, the fight isn’t finished yet. There are still the lesser wolves that need to be dealt with. Asther didn’t care much about this though. With the alpha of the wolves being killed, the said creatures have lost their will to fight. Making them less likely to fight.
While Asther is busy accomplishing things inside the dungeon. There are also a lot of important events that are transpiring out of it. Specifically, Boreas, the juror who secretly supports him, is being interrogated.“Let me ask you again.” A younger juror slammed his hand on the table. “What is your connection to the necromancer?”All of this began the day that Asther was able to escape the village. Although there is no concrete evidence that the juror is involved, the said event was weighed down on him. All fingers pointed to him and the village chief didn’t think twice before submitting a formal request to the council of jurors for Boreas to be investigated.Of course, there is also the option for Boreas to just run away. However, this would only serve to prove that the allegations against him are correct. Furthermore, this would also lead to him being a wanted criminal. Meaning, he would be hunted down and a bounty would be placed on his head.The old man can’t afford something as
“To your left!” Claire shouted as the two soldiers rushed towards the direction mentioned.After a few more seconds, a monster came out of the trees. A large lizard type monster crawling on all fours. It has scales that shine when the rays of the sun hit it and, its movement is just as fast or even faster compared to the great wolves.Unfortunately for this creature, it chose the wrong targets to attack. At that moment, thee two soldiers closed the gap between them and the lizard. The creature breathed out something but the two soldiers easily dodged this.The said breath attack hit the trees instead. In an instant, this began to be affected by corrosion.“That’s nasty.” Octavia said as he looked at the quick effect.“Agreed. That’s why we can’t let it hit us.” Claire added.“Well, it’s not like that thing would be able to reach us anyway milady.” Octavia said.“Don’t you think that’s a bit arrogant?”“A bit, yes. But I’m only matching the arrogance of the ones we’re asking to fight f
The overall change with Asther’s allies are as follows. Tyre the Thief has received a huge increase in both his speed and his accuracy. He has finished a total of five new progression quests during that month and, all of the rewards he gained are connected to these stats. Other than this, Tyre is also able to receive a couple of new useful passives.[Skill Name: Essence of a Shadow][Skill Type: Passive][Mana Consumption: None][Information: Increases dodge chance by fifteen percent. Enemy attacks that proc this passive will create an illusion in the form of a shadow which, will replace the wielder of the skill who is teleported a few meters away from the location of the attack.][Information: The location where the skill wielder can reappear can be trained. This requires the constant use of the passive and the understanding of the fundamentals on how it feels and works.]This skill in itself is already a huge boost to Tyre’s abilities. It is a perfect fit for him who has the job cla
It isn’t only the men of the group who got stronger in the past month. The women also had their fair share of advancements. Most of the merit is attributed to Asther’s progression quests of course. Something that his allies are able to attain because he placed them within the party function.Octavia the Knight is able to wield two swords more proficiently already. Although it has only been a month, she has progressed by quite a lot when it comes to her dual-wielding form. As well as everything else in her arsenal that has something to do with being a dual bladed sword user.Of course, the reason for this is greatly caused by her accomplished progression quests. Unlike the two soldiers, Octavia is able to clear out seven progression quests.This gave her a bigger reward compared to those mentioned. Meaning, she had a larger increases in her overall status points. She also received more experience. Allowing her to level up quicker compared to Tyre and Parch.But most importantly, she is
Claire Ildefonso, the woman who is called a saintess and, is also a person that is favored by the gods. This same woman is part of the group that went inside the dungeon to get stronger.With the help of Asther, she is able to switch her type of fighting from that of the bow to that of the spear. The former mentioned wasn’t used that much. At the same time, she already has a bit of proficiency when it comes to the use of the spear.Dealing with her was a bit more troublesome at the get go compared to her allies. After all, she doesn’t have her fundamentals solidified yet. Furthermore, the use of the spear is not something that she has perfected yet.These two factors contributed in the difficulty of teaching her. Nevertheless, she has both perseverance and talent. Things that contributed greatly for her to get out of the steep climb that she needed to make. Leading her to the point where she is almost at the same fighting level as Octavia.Within the month that passed, this same woman
