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
There’s a chance for any monsters in Alorexa to drop essence crystal after they die. If they are going to leave essence crystal, their chest will rot in high pace. But unlike any other monsters out there, these zombies are a bit different.If the slain zombie doesn’t leave any essence crystal, they won’t be rotting in high pace. However, if any of them is going to leave an essence crystal, they will rot so fast. Not only the chest part, but also their entire main body will rot and releasing a green poisonous gas.“So, what is the trial? Killing them all? If we kill that many zombies, there’s no way we can survive from the poison,” Dino whines with an awry face.“No, we only need to find the Boss of this dungeon,” replies Azzim.Meanwhile, Leia is still so quiet observing the entire condition of the cavern. They can still be relaxed considering there is not a single zombie near them. Some of them seem to be walking closer with staggered steps. But there’s no way those zombies can climb
As they reach to that narrows path, Leia issues Hannah to release his arrowless powershot once more, to keep that monsters away before leaving that place. Azzim keeps running between stalactite to check on the situation. Until he reaches the other huge cavern which is still empty. “It’s safe here!” he shouts informing the others. However, right after that shouting, more undeads are also emerging from the ground. Dino reaches to him first, not hiding his worry. He even tries to get back, but Leia immediately holds his back. “Where are you going? Everywhere is the same. The dungeon is like having a certain theme in it. With that many zombies we found earlier, it’s 100 % that the entire dungeon is full of them,” says Azzim. “It’s like testing our survival ability before advancing to the second stage. If you are scare like that, it only means you are not worthy to go to the next stage,” says Leia. As Hannah reaches to them, she finds several dark tunnels in a far. She immediately info
*******************[Alert!][You’ve been marked with Flammability Curse, and it will last for 15 minutes]- Your resistance to fire elemental will be decreased by 25 %- The burning effect done to you will last longer and the damage over time will be doubled*******************That Skull-headed Witch is laughing again while raising one of her hands high. In a second, a sudden burst occurs on the flame of her burning hairs.“It’s coming!” Leia shouts giving a warning.That monster casts a ball of fire. It’s not too big, but it flies fast toward Hannah and Dino. Hannah reacts fast, and releases her arrowless powershot. It casts that fire aside, but it doesn’t extinguish it completely. They both still feel the hot and a few parts of their body are still burnt by some small fires. Albeit they are small fires, they are still feeling so hot, and start running erratically and making those fires bigger.Both Azzim and Leia hold them and prevent them to move around. They force Hannah and Din
Azzim and Leia immediately get away. When the zombies die, some of them begin to decompose and leave some life crystals. But their decomposed bodies also released a dense poisonous gas.But there is no place for them to escape the poisonous gas. Because the room is closed, while the door is currently being pounded by the undeads from outside.Seeing their reaction, again that skull-headed witch laughs in a devilish laughter. She excels at summoning, bringing more zombies out of the ground.“Azzim, just kill that bitch immediately. That’s our only way out of here!” Leia shouts.Azzim spins the dagger in his left hand, and is ready with one sword in his right hand. He runs so fast aiming for the boss. But the monster chooses to keep its distance away, deliberately waiting for all those inmates to be poisoned and turned into zombies.Hannah can only try to keep the poison gas away from her by using her arrowless powershot. After that, he and Dino rushes over to Leia.“What now, Leia?” as
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
