It has been already two months in the RoG after they have entered here for the first time. They are still struggling individually with the level 20 Calamity boss, or should I say modified boss who was in the level 30 instead of level 22.
Though they are struggling with the boss individually, they have come a long way with teamwork. There were many times they almost finished the boss. This is a good sign. That was the thing I wanted to see most. In this game, those who played in the team are the real winner, or you have to spend money like me.
I saw both of them came with jeep again. If they came here with the jeep that means they failed to kill the boss again.
"We were so close this time."
Edward groaned.
"Just one hit we could have defeated the boss."
Marlin came out from his driver seat with a sigh. He is now 180 cm. He stops growing 15 days ago. I guess this was his limit. As for fatso, he may have lost 20 kilograms in these months, but he was still fat.
As for their strength, Marlin is in the 5th level Semi-Professional, and the fatso is in 4th level Semi-Professional. These few days fatso grew more than Marlin. But I told Marlin to not to go level up this time, I advised him to steady his buildings and physical skill. One of the main limitations of their strength was their weapon and armor, I didn't allow them to upgrade those to the Semi-Professional level, or they could have killed the monster long ago in a bitter struggle.
"Well, best of luck. I think you guys can do this time or next time after this time. You guys have improved."
I told them my honest feelings. Not a compliment or anything, if they can push further they may kill the boss this time or next time.
"Okay, let's see then."
Saying that Edward went toward the dungeon first.
"Edward changed so much these days."
Marlin commented while looking at me. Then he looked at Edward,
"He is doing things actively. You see, I can fight well, or my strength is greater than Edward, but his brain is sharper than me. And he is utilizing this power."
Saying that he started to walk. He has Main Character traits in him. He is the hero of his own story. As for Edward, I guess he is a good support character.
20 minutes later.
For the first time, they have appeared outside of the level 20 calamity dungeon's gate. That means they have successfully killed the boss.
Fatso lied down, where Marlin was on his knee and was looking at the sky. There was a smile as well as the satisfaction of the victory in both of their facial expression. It was a long journey for them. If I wanted, I could have made their journey easier by making them stronger and move to the dungeon where they can defeat monsters easily, but they need to understand, the struggle is also part of the strength.
They faced level 20 calamity boss more than 10 times after their first victory against the 10th level semi-professional monster. They didn't lose any more in fact it was pretty easy for them. Because I made their weapon the strongest Semi-Professional rank weapon, as well as their armor.
One day I told them,
"This is high time we need to return to the Gungnir."
Both of them looked at me. I didn't tell them anything after that and teleported out from the RoG to where we were last time. Only one and a half-hour passed in this world, I guess.
Both of them were inside the Iron Prison with the Monster Bear, just like they were before. I told them by making an evil grin toward them,
"Well then, let see how you guys deal with that teddy this time."
