In fact, Drago has unlocked his passive talent for some time and already level 10 now. He might just let a glimpse of his natural quirk by instinct from time to time during the fight without realizing it by himself. The next day, the same oddity occur more often. He just lets his urge slamming monsters’ head over and over by both of his Skull Mace. Sometimes, he resembles the alpha gorilla he had met before in the first day entering the trial realm. He lets a huge roar when he gets swarmed by so many giant ant-type monsters. While Dino is getting busy releasing his flame technique to a wide area to burn those monsters, leaving Hannah looking like out of the place for not getting a certain target to shot. Those ant monsters are so many, to the point making her arrow, which is a single target weapon, would be less significant to help the others. Meanwhile, Azzim and Leia just casually observe Drago fighting from afar. “For now, he doesn’t have access to the Skill Set, so there’s no w
On the fifth day since leaving the shrine, they find a new hideout on their way, on a narrow cliff near a fairly large canyon. Considering their current fatigue level, Azzim decides to take a full day break from doing anything. He only goes out with Dino to look for food supply.Luckily for Leia and Hannah, there is a water spring not far from their hideout. It’s almost a week since the last time they have taken a bath.“Don’t take it off. It would be a problem if a monster suddenly appears while we are naked,” says Leia as she busy putting her metal plate vest off.Hannah’s reaction suddenly changes and cancels her intention to take off her raccoon leather vest.Leia takes a bath by wearing her simple white clothes. The same with Hannah who still with her raccoon leather vest, leaving Drago with an annoyed and disappointed face behind the bushes. He immediately turns away as he fails his mission to improve his observation skill.Currently, they don’t have to worry about the clothes t
Just as Leia suggested the night before, they split up the next day. Azzim goes with Dino, while Leia goes with Drago and Hannah. They still head to the same direction, being guided by the life essence crystals left by the two pirates.Initially, they only need to make sure the both group are separated in more than 100 m radius so that it Azzim and Dino don’t hold the other’s progress in gaining level. However, Azzim is a bit of worry about him would attract more dangerous monster to come, so he decides to go further away from the others.Unfortunately for him and Dino, it’s getting hard for them to find high level monsters. So far, they just keep moving, ignoring the low level monsters they meet. On the other hand, Leia decides to take part in fighting along with Drago and Hannah.Just because she is a healer, doesn’t mean she is that useless in combat. She only uses the magical staff she picked from the old shaman. Even thought it’s actually a weapon from an old shaman who wasn't a
The place has become so dark since the night comes. Dino has no choice but to use his flame, but only at the size of a candle flame.“Just keep your fire away from the web,” Azzim warns him.“Shouldn’t we just lure them outside? It’s not easy to fight them in the dark,” Hannah suggests.And then, they back off slowly, inviting those spider lings to get out. However, only a few of them get out of the building and get crushed by Azzim and Drago. Meanwhile, most of the spider lings seem reluctant to leave their nest.They really don’t have any choice but to enter the lighthouse building if they really want to set the beacon on.“Hannah, use your wind force to push them away first. Just use your bowstring without an arrow. And then Azzim, you get inside and cut as much web as you could,” Leia instructs.“That’s a good idea,” Azzim affirms.Hannah immediately pulls her bowstring right after Azzim affirmed Leia’s idea. She gives a signal first for Azzim to be ready before releasing her wind
A few moments later, a boat comes to them with two people on board. As soon as one of them seem to be able to observe Azzim and the others, that person immediately stops rowing the boat. He stands up and shouts as he draws his sword at Azzim who happens to be standing in the front waiting for them. “Who are ye? Where be The Smelly Gorg 'n The Wise Drustan?” he shouts. “They are not here?” Azzim replies. The person's face immediately turns serious. The other one also immediately stands up and draws his sword. “Wha' did ye do t' 'em? Did ye scuttle 'em? Don't ye know we be Green Beard Pirate? Are ye lookin' fer a fight wit' us?” says the other one. “Woa, wait! Hold on! Could you get here so that we talk about this issue first. We are not here looking for a fight with Captain Green Beard,” Azzim replies. “So, ye already know who our Cap'n, huh?” At last, those two pirate get to the land. They look so suspicious toward Azzim as they see Azzim wearing The Smelly Gorg’s clothes. Leia
Leia gets on to the ship first. However, Azzim is starting to have a change in mind, and asking the one pirate who takes them to get Hannah and Dino back to the land. “Would you mind taking these two back to the island with you?” says Azzim. “You see, we might need someone to watch over the banner we’ve planted on the lighthouse building.” Leia is a bit startled with Azzim’s sudden decision. But somehow, she can't refute him right now since she is already surrounded by so many pirates while Azzim is still on the boat. “Ye be sayin' there are morons dare enough t' do that t' Green Beard Pirate?” that one pirate asks. “You never know how ignorance people could be in these days. After all, we still have other valuable things left in that building.” Azzim replies. “Alright! Get on t' the ship! I'll take 'em wit' me back t' the land,” he replies. Drago gets on the ship without showing any concern with Azzim’s sudden decision. So do with Dino and Leia. However, as Azzim gets on the shi
“Don't tell me this reward ain't enough t' repay yer deeds? Or perhaps, ye be askin' fer somethin' else?” he asks. Azzim is still silent, keep looking at Captain Green Beard with so much intent. Captain Green Beard is starting to think deep with Azzim’s behavior, and starting to look at him and Leia with a curious look. Until then, he shows a change of expression, like he remembers their face. “Don't tell me? Are ye that mad hound?” he asks. He doesn’t even wait for Azzim to answer. He immediately laughs with some chuckles while holding his face, like he really remembers his face now so well. “Oh, right! How's yer friend, that baldy? Where is he now? Ya see, I never let anyone leave my shit alive. Ye shall thank 'im I spare yer life afore. Now fer ole time sake, please, tell me! How can I repay yer deeds? Or, shall I take ye t' be me crew? And offer ye immortality? Is that wha' ye be lookin' fer?” But Azzim doesn’t answer but keep looking at that man’s sword. “Aaah, I see! Ye wa
Instead of making Azzim scared or worried, seeing Captain Green Beard coming forward with such a passionate expression, it makes Azzim even more excited to fight him. He is ready with a short sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand.Fighting with the dual wield technique is a sign that at this time Azzim intends to be more offensive and ignore his defense. Even Leia has already activated her Battle Aura skill.“Azzim don't be rash. Even though we can respawn again in this first stage of the trial, you have to remember that we also have limited time in Alorexa,” explains Leia reminding him.“Yeah, I know!” Azzim replies calmly.Hearing that, makes Drago a little shocked and confused. He never heard that there is a time limit for taking the trial inside Alorexa.“Hey, what do you mean by limited time?” he asks.However, some pirates have come to attack them. This time, Leia is forced to join the fight as there are currently only three of them. With such a large number of e
She is so afraid, doubting whether she is able to land safely after jumping that high. But Azzim is being occupied with all the wolves by himself. Only Toto alone, who is now on a tree branch, reacts to Hannah’s call.“It’s okay. If you are able to jump that high, it also means that you are able to land safely from that position.“Are you crazy? This is too much!”“Just make sure you land properly without twisting your ankle!”As Toto’s attention is averted by Hannah, that mysterious inmate attacks him in stealth. When Toto notices the incoming attack, that inmate’s wooden staff is already so close in front of his face.“Dush!”That one hit manages to send Toto to the ground. But then, one arrow appears toward that mysterious inmate. It’s just a normal arrow, since Hannah releases the shot without any preparation while she is still in mid air.That mysterious inmate manages to evade that arrow, but he can’t follow his previous attack to kill Toto. And so, Toto gets the chance to regro
She approaches Hannah and tells her what she just learned from that pair of unique boots. She looks at Hannah’s holographic text to see her current level and finds the problem with her situation. “Now this is a problem. It’s an active skill. You might need access to Skill Set Command so that you can learn and use this skill efficiently. But I believe you’ve skipped the option for that access, right?” says Leia. “I don’t think she really needs it. Just look at Toto,” Azzim interrupts. The three of them look at Toto, and Toto just puts on his clueless face, not knowing what they are talking about. Leia changes her mind a bit regarding the importance of accessing the Skill Set Command. She then takes off the boots and gives them back to Hannah. “You’d still need some time to adapt with the change. Even without using the skill, the item itself gives you an increase for agility and endurance to your leg for a long journey,” says Leia to Hannah. “Are you telling me that it’s okay to tak
However, unlike Dino, Hannah steps in as if she intends to volunteer herself. “Please, take me with you! You should already know that my observation skills are the best among our group.” “I acknowledge your observation skill,” Azzim affirms. “But I'm afraid you are going to slow us down. Despite being an agility-type warrior, the current you can't keep up with my pace and Toto.” It makes Hannah look so disappointed. She can't deny what Azzim just said. She thinks that the only way for her to progress is to push herself to do something more than she currently can do. And staying together with her mentor, who is one of the veterans, should be the best option for her. She has felt it herself, how much she has grown so far. “If I really have the talent to be an agility-type warrior, shouldn’t it be reasonable that I can adapt to your pace given time?” she asks. “I know it the most, how important it is for us to gain actual experience on the field. But look at the situation first. I’m
Those Kelinians have observed how Azzim and his friends fought against the army of the wolves. They acknowledge those inmates’ abilities. But still, they are winning in number.There are more than 30 melee warriors there, and exatcly 13 archers. But Azzim and Leia are still looking so calm with their situation. Only Toto alone who is looking so worried at the moment.He had witnessed Azzim’s madness when he cleared the sartyr guards in the prison before. Not to mention about Dino and Hannah’s combination attack which has the potential to wipe the entire legion.“You guys, hold yourself. We are not in a situation to create another enemies more than what we already have,” says Toto.“No way! There must be something between them and the one who controled the wolves,” says one of the Kelinians warrior.“We shouldn't have let them enter our village,” says the other.“If only Toto didn't bring them here, we won't...”“For sure you won't be able to survive this night,” Granny Oja suddenly in
Hannah is so shocked, not expecting such a huge firewall to appear. She doesn’t believe such a huge fire comes from Dino’s flame.“Wo, what the hell is that? What’s happening there?” asks Hannah cluelessly.“They must have filled the trench with some oils,” Azzim speculates.“Not at all. There’s no way we would waste that much oil only to create such a scene,” says one of the guards.“We only put dry straw and wood, with so many dry Blaconut shells at the bottom,” explains the other guard.“Blaconut shell?” asks Hannah curiously.“It is a type of coconut, but this one has a shell that contains a lot of gas, much more gas than normal coconut shells.”And indeed, that firewall really looks so weird. The fire is suddenly seen gushing out here and there due to the gusts of strong gas emerging from the burning Blaconut shells at the bottom of the trench.Despite how high the firewall is, those crazy wolves are still so eager trying to cross the trench. Even those who manage to cross it, ar
Right after they receive that news, those inmates rush to the village gate. Hannah becomes the first one to reach the gate, and immediately climbs the gate to join the other guard on the top. She observes all the wolves around the graveyard and at the edge of the savanna. She is so shocked, not only by the huge numbers of the wolves, but also by the strange person among the wolves. There’s one mysterious figure in a goat head mask wearing a dark ragged cloak who seems to be the only human being standing among those wolves. What’s more, Hannah sees a holographic letter above that mysterious figure’s head, citing The Loser No 37. “Don’t tell me?” she mumbles with an awry face. She swiftly snatches out one arrow from one of the guards who stands beside her, and immediately takes aim toward that mysterious figure. Her reckless action makes that guard startled. Suddenly, that guard tries to grab Hannah’s arrow, seeming to try to prevent her from starting a war without the leader’s comm
Granny Oja leaves the room toward the door where Toto is waiting outside.“Please, prepare our guests the best meal we have,” says Granny Oja.“Yes, Mam!” replies Toto.Granny Oja backs to her fireplace and sits there. She also offers them to have a seat in front of that fireplace, while she serves them tea. “To tell you the truth, this country is in trouble. I'm not saying this to ask for your understanding because of the guard's rude attitude. I’m telling you because I need your help.”“What kind of help?” asks Azzim.“Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain. I don’t know who you are, but the problem is beyond our capabilities to handle, to the point we seek help from something beyond our understanding. That is the solution given to me by that voice, a voice that I don’t even know who or what he is?”“But he indeed introduced himself as Bang Sat, right?” asks Leia.Lady Oja takes a deep breath once before giving her an explanation.“I’ve been telling fortune to people, but this is th
There are fields of carrots and cabbages surrounding each house. However, all those vegetables looked wilted. Even most of the plants already look dead from not getting enough sunlight. And there is one huge house at the end of the village under towering rocky hills. The house looks so much different than the other house. It almost looks like a temple, being illuminated by several yellow glowing crystals around its circular roof. Those crystals emit fluorescent light of moderate intensity, seeming to be the only source of light at the moment during the day when the sun is still covered by the eclipse. “Please, wait here for a moment! I’ll go inside to make a report to Granny Oja first,” says Toto to Azzim. Toto leaves Azzim and the others, going inside Granny Oja’s sanctuary. After waiting for a while, Toto comes out to invite Azzim and the others to enter. &nb
After they walk down the hill and get out of the forest, they are now walking down the road in a wide savanna with towering grasses, up to their waists. Some even reach their chest.For a moment, Toto stops and his left ear twitches a few times, as if he hears something. Toto silently looks around him. This invites Azzim's curiosity.“What is it?” asks Azzim.“I don't know. It's just a hunch,” replies Toto. “We'd better speed up our movement. We almost reached Wortelville.”After saying that, Toto starts to increase his speed, even though he doesn't appear to be running, Didi, Nery and Catty have trouble following him. They have no choice but to run so that they can follow Toto.Sometimes, Toto jumps quite high and looks around while he is in the air. And there, he sees some movement of some beasts, stalking them u
