One by one, several inmates have been killed in stealth by Azzim from behind, while the others are still too occupied in following Marco and his friends. Andrio keeps observing Gordon who is still chasing him from behind. Gordon might two levels higher than him, but Andrio clearly has a slight advantage in terms of speed. Coupled with his ability to continue observing any long-range attack plans that Gordon might think of. “Shit, how can he always dodge my ice spears. Looks like I really need to practice this type of attack,” Gordon muttered in annoyance. Everyone in the first stage of the trial realm is probably afraid of Gordon. However, he isn’t the type of warrior who is good at hunting. As Gordon follows them, he finds more and more items from the inmates who have been killed by Azzim. He begins to realize Azzim's real intentions and becomes increasingly worried and also furious. “They deliberately avoid me and my team to erase all those small fries,” he grumbles. On the oth
It almost has been two hours since they hunted Leia and the others, and the gate in Gurdat Town had also been deactivated. Although there are still some inmates near the gate, the rest have already been leaving that place one by one. Some of them who are now walking back to the Inmate Center building seem noisy with what Azzim had previously said to them. “Is he really going to enter the trial realm with that level?” “With level 0? That’s bullshit. Even Gordon and his team couldn’t clear the trial, even after reaching level 20.” “But, most of his team are having high enough levels. And they have also created an alliance with Zack.” “Despite that, there’s only five people can enter the trial dungeon.” “Then why did Zack want to form an Alliance with them?” There are too many odd things about Azzim and all of them have piqued their curiosity. He, who was the first to enter Alorexa, and now trapped in the first stage trial, still has level 0 even though they have confirmed that he
Gordon only finds Leia and Hannah. Just because they both are woman doesn’t make him hesitate to kill them. He is a bit interested in Leia’s calm demeanor.“I hope you are not going to just running away like the other veteran I fought before,” says Gordon.Leia puts a clown face. “I don’t know, but somehow, you remind me of someone stupid.”Gordon doesn’t hide how annoyed he is right now and dashes forward so fast. But then, another ambush comes from the left. It shocks him and immediately covers his left side with an ice block. He only manages to create a small and thin ice, not enough to block the ambush completely.That small and thin ice is broken, and Gordon got hit by a sudden burst of flame. He averts his attention and finds Dino is ready with his another flower flame.“You are not the only mage knight in this trial realm,” says Leia, trying to taunt Gordon.But Dino is not looking so sure of himself. “Come on Leia, don’t you agitate him. I don’t have any confident to fight him
After making sure things are safe, Marvini comes out from behind the trees and comes over them. Bascha raises his hands from a far while holding his right side that got hit by Gordon. “Thank you for protecting me. If it wasn't for your living armor, I'm sure that sharp ice would hurt my stomach,” says Bascha welcoming her arrival. Marvini smiles, but she continues to walk over to Leia, intending to help heal the wound on her arm. But right now, Leia has just finished healing herself and the wound has already closed. “You should have save your mana. I haven’t done anything during that fight,” says Marvini. “It’s okay. My mana will be refreshed back before the dark. I believe nobody will be dared enough to come after us right now,” Leia replies. “What about the monsters?” she asks. “With them at this level, there aren't many monsters dangerous enough to threaten us,” Leia replies by glancing his head toward the others. “For now, we better find a hiding place to rest until tomorrow.
Until the dark, they still could not find the ideal hideout. They are forced to camp without a tent in the middle of the jungle. At least the sky is clear enough, barely covered by clouds. Just like always, Dino helps them to prepare the grilled meat. It’s a luxury that Zack and his team rarely had before. Leia brings two piece of grilled meats and shares one of them to Bascha. “How’s your fatigue level?” she asks. “It’s still at 58 now,” Bascha replies. “It’s still that high?” says Leia. “I might have a higher HP regeneration rate than most people, but my natural fitness,” he finishes his word by patting his huge belly. “It takes longer time for him to refresh and to clear his fatigue,” says Marvini from across the bonfire. “Sorry for holding you down,” Bascha smiles awkwardly. Leia replies his smiles and pats his back a few times before taking her leave. But then Zack tells her to not taking Bascha’s condition too serious. “We don’t need to wait for him to refresh until his
They then cut those two inmates’ white clothes and use them to tie all the items they have collected and bring all of those items back with them without examining them at all. “By the way, did you ever read his mind before and noticed their intention coming to us?” asks Azzim. “They intended to keep watching us and maybe snatch a chance to kill the weakest among us if they find the opportunity. Seems like he still sees us as a threat for the next round of the trial since he doesn’t believe you are going to clear the trial realm now. To be honest, I even doubt it myself.” Azzim just smiles and keeps moving back to their camp. When the two of them come back, Zack looks confused to see them coming with some items. It’s not that long they left, but now they are coming back with two set of items. “How did you get all of these items?” he asks. “It’s Marco and his friend. They came approaching this place,” Andrio replies. “This is why you shouldn’t let them go. Your naivety will cost o
Leia is confused by the description she has just had from the broken sword. But not so much with Azzim, who has felt that there might be a way to lift the seal on the sword. It’s just that he doesn’t know how to lift the seal.Now Leia begins to understand why Azzim still insists on carrying the sword even though it isn’t in a good condition.“1/3 of the seal? Is this why you insist keeping the sword?” asks Leia.“But I don’t know how to lift the seal. I thought, I could ask the blacksmith I met before at the 6th stage trial,” Azzim replies.“So, you intend to take this sword until we reach the 6th stage of the trial? Are you serious?”“What choice I have now? Things will be different later when we reach higher stage when I’m still level 0. You should know, without having a level, I can’t simply use any item. Unlike the items I have now, most items required a certain level, something I couldn't possibly fulfill as a level 0 warrior,” Azzim explains.Leia gives the sword back to Azzim
Leia decides to split the group, leaving Dino and Hannah to stay at the junction to prevent any rat monsters to approach them. Zack, Bascha and Leia go to the left, while the rest are going to the other small tunnel. With Dino and Hannah keep preventing the other rat monsters to enter that small tunnel, those few mole monsters are not that hard to handle by the others. “Is that the Key Fragments you told before?” asks Zack to Leia as Leia picks a certain crystal dropped by the Huge Mole monsters they have slain. “Yeah. I don’t know how much of this fragment we need since we haven’t found the gate of the trial dungeon yet. But this is a proof, that there is one trial dungeon in this area,” Leia explains. It doesn’t take that long, not even 15 minutes, they both get back to where Dino and Hannah are. And in the next two hours, they have explored all the three parts of the ruin and collect three key fragments. Until they reach the deepest part of the ruins and find the dungeon’s gate
