Unlike the last time, they faced the Monster Bear without being scared. The monster bear is in the 1st level of Professional rank. Where those two were mid-rank Semi-Professional.
Seeing their stance Bear acknowledge that they wanted to fight. It came toward them with four legs and slashed toward them with its forefoot's sharpen nail.
Marlin retreated away from there, where Edward worked as tanker and screen its attacks with his armor, but no matter what the bear was a professional, and it didn't go, easy on him. By its full power input, Edward got smashed on the prison wall. But Marlin took that chance and slashed that bear from behind.
There was a shallow cut on it's back. The bear roared in agony. One of the few reasons it was easy to cut it because unlike the RoG dungeon it didn't wear any armor or doesn't have any special skills.
Even if the bear stronger than them, it is easy for them to go toe to toe against it and I won't be surprised if they defeated it.
Edward also made his comeback and tried to deliver Thor's Hammer skill. But the bear defended it successfully. However bear couldn't defend the attack which was coming from behind its back again. This time it was the heavenly slash skill. Because critical damage was added there the wound was deep this time.
The blood splashed from its back and two cross marks showed on its backside. It roared as well as was in disbelief that weaker beings than it was toying with him.
I was watching their fight. Before I made them registered on RoG I thought if I trained them where they could barely scratch on the bear at the end of their first campaign. But they have exceeded my expectation and now they are way stronger than I have initially thought. I have really underestimated the people of this world.
Looks like I do not have to interfere with this fight. They are in the upper hand even if they looked weaker than it. It showed the vast difference between the monster of this world and the dungeon.
As I expected those two successfully defeated it. The monster bear was lying numb there. It may have little life, but the amount of blood it lost it may die anytime. I undid the iron prison, and deliver arc slash skill on its neck to end its life.
"That was easy."
Edward said.
"I feel like it was way easier to kill than the 10th level semi-professional bull."
Marlin said. Unlike before they didn't get any wound to kill stronger foe even though they got exhausted. One of the main facts is they have a strong weapon and armor where the bear was with no weapon or armor but only his claw.
"Indeed. Weldone. You two wear these lockets."
I threw two lockets in succession at them, catching that they gave confusion glanced at me.
"As I said you guys in the past, that only one and a half hour will be passed in the Gungnir. Isn't that strange that you guess promoted Regular to Semi-Professional in a few hours?"
I asked them.
"Yes, I have thought the same thing. It will be two hassle to answer if someone asked or inquire about that."
Edward said. Marlin asked me,
"So, what this neckless do?"
"This is an exceptional item that will fake your rank. The fake rank is set in Regular rank. If you guys put your mana in it you will learn how to use it easily."
I told them. Divine Black Smith made this locket by my order. It was pretty easy for him to make something like that, as the game described he can make anything as long as it comes to the item, armor, and weapon.
By my order, those two wear those lockets.
"It's true. I can sense Marlin's power drop to the 8th level of Regular."
Edward said.
"And Edward now a 5th level of Regular."
Marlin and Edward both verified the operative feature of the locket.
"Let us get back to the city."
I told them while teleporting the bear to my pocket dimension. Everything has its usefulness, even corps of a bear.
By the way, not only they got new magic, but I also learned some new magic, one of that is pocket dimension. In the item box, I can only store game items, but in the pocket dimension I can store anything, and I can create millions of different empty pocket spaces with this magic. Though, I said pocket dimension they can be as big as China if I put my greater magic power in it.
Thinking about that, I drive my car toward the Nascent City, where the main office of the THC.
