“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
Suddenly, Azzim moves so fast, beheading so many pirates’ head all over the place. He even hits Drago on the chest twice before kicking and slamming him to the floor. He is so mad, not knowing who is friend who is enemy. He attack anything nears him. Until Captain Green Beard is the only one standing. Even thought all of those pirates raise again and everyone is busy looking for their head, Azzim hunts down Green Beard. He moves without thinking, guided by instinct as he has already lost his sanity. As the time goes on, his dark face starts to turn red like a drunken man, and his movements grows faster and faster. “That's it! Come at me wit' wha' ye've got. Come at me, Mad Hound! Unlike what happened in the past. There's no one to intervene your insanity.” Suddenly, in a split second, Azzim charges forward with a straight jump towards Green Beard while delivering a slash with his dagger. Trang!!! That small dagger hits Green Beard’s sword, brushing it off so hard. Green Beard fee
The only thing he can do is to pull out the sword from Green Beard’s body. However, even after he takes the sword out, its tip is still strongly attached to the hole on Green Beard’s body, being held by the torrent of the green aura that is being sucked out from Azzim’s body. Right now, one hand of Green Beard is still holding the back of the sword, because it has been there since before he died. Drago, mistaking that the sword is being held by that pirate, starting to hit Green Beard’s head with his two Skull Maces. Green Beard's head is crushed, but the sword is still gripping Azzim’s hand, and he still couldn't get rid of the torrent of green aura that draining his life force. “Hey, what are you doing?” asks Azzim. “I’m trying to kill him,” Drago replies. “He is died. Don’t you realize you’ve got one level increase? Leia, give me a vial of Life Potion,” asks Azzim. Leia is panicked and takes out a vial of life potion for Azzim. Drago who still has no idea what to do, tries to
Azzim just silently accepts the sword with a blank face, because he couldn't explain anything either. He himself came hunting for the sword because of a hint he got from a blacksmith he had met in the 6th trial realm. It was the same blacksmith who informed him that Azzim had a slightly problematic passive talent and maybe the sword could be the solution for his issue. However, he ignored the Blacksmith's instructions because he didn't think he would return to the first stage of the realm to get that sword. Right now, he didn't have the slightest clue about the strange condition of the sword that Leia said to him already been sealed and corrupted. “Could it be that the magical effect of this sword is corrupted because its tip had been broken?” Azzim mumbles. “Who knows!” Leia replies with an annoyed face, sitting a bit far from him. “Hey, are you saying that it was because of me? If I didn’t hit the sword, you won't be able to escape either,” Drago argues. Azzim couldn't help but
Right after hearing that, Drago immediately stands up, and packs up all of his belongings.“That’s it. Let’s finish the trial of this first stage realm,” he says.The others just look at him uninspired. The same with Azzim. He even distances himself away a bit and starts leaning on the wall of the lighthouse building.“What’s wrong with you? Look, most of us have reached a high enough level. Enough items and supplies. So far, there haven’t been many dangerous monsters in this area. We should aim to clear the trial now,” says Drago.Azzim sighs a bit, and walks approaching him while taking out a few of life essence crystals. He gives them to Drago, making him a bit annoyed with his reaction.“What’s this? Why are you giving these to me?” asks Drago.“Each of these life crystals is pointing toward a direction where you can find a higher level monster. This way you can hunt them. Every time you get a new life crystal, you only need to repeat them, until you find the highest level monster
Just like the previous time, right now Dino is getting another choice, whether to unlock the access for skill set command, or to have a 10 increase in all of his basic attributes. “So, I only need to pick the Skill Set Command, right?” he asks. “More or less,” Leia replies. “No, don’t! I urge you to just pick the other choice. I’m telling you, that skill set command is useless,” says Azzim. “It’s useless for a dead brain like you. As an intelligence-type warrior like me and Dino, this command is essential,” Leia argues. And so, those two people are starting to have their argument again. Dino can only shake his head and let them be. He just follows his instinct and curiosity, and decides to unlock the access for that command to make sure what this is all about. “Hey, I’m going to unlock the command. Can you stop now?” he says. Azzim just sighs as he shakes his head. “You could have gain massive improvement to your basic attributes by picking the other choices,” he whines. “Liste
After getting the feeling that he is ready for that technique, Dino snaps his finger, and just like always, he is able to cast a mass of shapeless flame above his palm. The rest, it’s up to him what he is going to do with that fire.He throws the fire away, just like how he had usually done before. He then squints his eyes, looking so uninspired, not even hiding how dissatisfied he is with the option he had made.“See! You still can perform that technique even without issuing that command! It’s just too stupid if you have to yell out and let your enemy knows what you are going to use during a fight,” says Azzim.“It’s okay, don’t mind him. You don’t have to issue the command out loud during the fight. It is about conditioning your body with one command before activating the technique,” says Leia, trying to comfort the disappointed Dino.Since Azzim seems to have no intention of doing anything until the realm is reset, Dino spends his time training with Hannah and also with Leia's guid
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
