Pietro and the others watched the fight unfold from a safe distance. Right inside the barrier that has yet to be broken. Nor does it look like it will be broken anytime soon as well. Pietro believes this entirely and, is calmly watching the fight in front of them that’s about to unfold. One which only involves the boss monster of the dungeon and, their party member Killian. Though one of them seem to disagree with this decision.“What are you thinking?” Kulxa grabbed Pietro by the collar, almost lifting him up if not for the man’s own force stopping him. “Why would you send him alone?”“So you don’t want him dead?” Pietro asked.“Oh he’s the first that I want dead.” Kulxa said as she let go of their leader. “But that doesn’t mean I’ll just send him to his death when he’s still useful.”“Relax. He’s not going to die.” Pietro stated.“What makes you say that?” Syx asked.“Just a gut feeling.” Pietro said as he drew his attention back towards the fight. The enemy is dispersing spears out
“Man…”Sylvie watched as Killian lowered his daggers. Not as a form of acting so he can launch a surprise attack. Nor is it any kind of misdirection on his part. He’s just doing so because of a thought that the dark elf can read in the human’s head – disappointment.“What is it?” Pietro asked. “Are you feeling sorry for her?”“Huh?” Killian’s eyes squinted. As if the most atrocious thing has been suggested to him. “Why would I feel sorry for my prey?”“Then what’s bothering you?” The dark elf is a bit annoyed by the fact that her opponents aren’t even paying attention to her. And this just shows how true the gap in their strength is. Because if Sylvie can feel it, then these humans would definitely be able to do so as well. Her opponents have gauged her skill. To be more precise, the leader of the group, the one holding the spear, has done this.Though this isn’t a bad thing at all. Far from it, this will be useful later on in the fight. That is, assuming that the fight would even la
Sylvie and Teach can feel an ominous air inside the blue space. They aren’t drowned but, for some reason, they can feel their bodies being drenched in water as well. A feeling that also brought a seeming cold that wrapped them in their entirety. The same cold that one would feel when dipping in the ocean when the sun is about to set.“I’d love to give you an explanation on what this whole place is and what it’s capable of but, I’m afraid that you might suddenly attack me mid-sentence.”Teach threw a mana infused spear towards the enemy. Pietro dodged this with ease but, it is then followed by more spears that shot from the ground. An attack that missed its mark due to a protective barrier that suddenly appeared around the pirate. But that’s just the beginning of the attack.Sylvie is already mid-air, both her blades completely charged. And she released both in full swing. Maximizing the amount of mana placed in the weapons that collided with the barrier. Enough to finally break it…th
[System Update Finished.][The new features are now integrated.][Consciousness is being returned to the New World.]………Sylvie waited for death to meet her. She waited for everything to end with the final strike of her opponent. She does not know what lies beyond death nor if there is actually anything beyond it. But she does not care to think about bit anymore and, it’s probably good that she didn’t because, at that moment, Merlin arrived.It isn’t a dream. Nor is it a hallucination. A dream wouldn’t have blocked the attack of Pietro and sent the mana from this blow flying up the ceiling. Nor will a dream make her feel the mana emanating from the demon. A miasmic mana that she has felt ever since Merlin was sleeping. A powerful dark mana that has continued to grow and, is now showing its completion.A black armor covers the entirety of Merlin’s body. Not a heavy set of equipment but a seemingly light one. With the edges and some of the design being filled by a glowing green mana.
Merlin watched as Sylvie slowly woke up from her sleep. She groaned a lot while he healed her and, now that its finished, she groans even more still. Not that he’s complaining though. The dark elf has every right to do so with how much she’s been hurt because of the fight. Her face isn’t bruised that much though, the only thing that he had trouble healing through are the holes created by the multiple spear stabs. But even this is only a slight problem for him. After the incident with Teach, Merlin told his kobolds to build the next necessary facility. A healing center within the dungeon. This is prioritized and, because of this, the facility has finished construction right away. Allowing the use of it in that specific moment.Even if this place is called as such, there’s not much inside of it. There are a couple of beds and, on these are the mana crystals that are specialized for bringing comfort to those lying on them. There are also mana crystals that aid in the regeneration proces
I’m pissed.I got scolded by my father again. The third time that it’s happened this month. And it’s not even my fault! It’s the fault of those useless players that he paired with me. That’s the only reason I’d lose to the likes of Merlin. If only they can block all of his spells, then I’d be able to hit him from a safe distance using my own sorcery.That’s right! I use magic as well. But not the same as this mediocre person who claims to be the strongest. He’s not even anywhere near how powerful I am! He knows it as well – that he can never reach the same level as me.I know that because he told me once to quit imbuing magic into my archery. He told me that it’s a waste because my skill combination is stupid. As well as the pairing of my first and secondary job class. I beat him up because of it of course. I put him in the training room and gave him a dose of kobold blood. Enough to leave him gasping for breath. Enough to make him put his hand on his chest, gripping on to it so hard
Merlin walked along the corridors of his dungeon. It’s beginning to take the shape he wants it to. More refined and better suited to live in. His footsteps echoed along the empty road and, this silence only grew with the thoughts that are running through his head. Revolving around his former guildmate whom he’s about to meet.“Elliot huh.”Unlike the other members, Elliot is a lesser evil. Though this man did beat him up and torture him like the rest, this is done less. This is probably due to the same live broadcast which he did before. Where he lost in a duel against Merlin in less than one second. This placed his reputation in the guild so low that he’s even remarked as lower than the useless Gerald.If given the same amount of power and status as Arthur, Merlin knows that Elliot will do the same despicable things to him. Probably even worse. That’s why he’s not going to show any mercy to this human – one who’s just behind the door that he’s standing in front of.Without wasting an
After an hour of interrogation, Merlin proceeded to torturing Elliot. While he did say that he would set the human free, there isn’t any mention of letting this happen before any form of torture. And Merlin enjoyed this very much. Feeding Elliot with as many nightmares as he wanted until the human finally broke down and fainted. It’s only at this point that Merlin finally set him free.Hence the event is over and now, Merlin has to face Sylvie whose brows are furrowed as she looked at him. Arms crossed as the dark elf waited for him to get nearer.“Did I do something wrong?” Merlin asked.“You should be able to answer that all on your own.” Sylvie replied. “Why did you let him escape?”Merlin didn’t explain this to Sylvie and Teach before he left the room. Of course he’s planning on telling it to them. But he just wanted to deal with Elliot first before doing so. And now that it’s over, the demon sat on the wooden stool beside Sylvie’s bed. Fully prepared to begin.“The main reason is
