" I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT IT WOULD BE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MONSTERS" Freya yelled as she was being forced back even further from Thor's position. "HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS DO YOU THINK WE CAN TAKE?" She fired off three more arrows as she yelled finishing off one of the three monsters.
" IT'S NO PROBLEM, THIS MOB IS ALMOST OUT OF MONSTERS!" They only needed to kill a couple more and Thor would hit level 6. The only problem is he hadn't had time to level up. Even though he had hit level 5 nearly as soon as they had gotten to the path that the potion master had told them about. "HAVE YOU LEVELED UP YET?" Thor yelled back.
"YEA I HAVE BUT THERE'S NO TIME TO ALLOCATE MY STATS AND SKILLS." Freya had been using her skill triple shot even since she had entered this path. if she could level it up it would be level 2 and the damage would increase significantly. Freya needed to level up so her mana could fill up. Otherwise she would be shooting normal arrows pretty soon and that would probably lead to their demise. If she could get time to level up they might be able to beat this crazy path way.

" I'M GOING TO CREATE AN OPENING FOR YOU TO ALLOCATE YOUR STATS, WHEN YOUR FINISHED DO THE SAME FOR ME! Thor yelled. Thor used his Superior Strike to hit the snake closest to Freya, this move also allowed him to get between her and the snakes coming at them.

At there current levels they could probably take on 2-3 at a time comfortably. However the path allowed for 4-6 to come at them. To make matters worse Thor had decided to walk up the path to see what they were dealing with. When he had done this the snakes had attacked from in front and behind, so for the last 15 minutes they had been fighting on their own. Now that he had gotten back to Freya she immediately went into her hud. and leveled up. Freya put 2 points to her agility and 1 to her intelligence. Once Freya started firing arrows into the snakes Thor jumped back to about 1 meter in front of her, so he would be a meat shield for her well he leveled up his own stats. Thor had leveled up twice so he quickly put 3 to each str. and agi. then he immediately got back into the fight.
"Should we turn back?" Freya was worried she didn't want to lose any levels. "We can always come back after we gain another level somewhere else." Now that she was only 3 levels away from level 10 she could taste victory over her sister. This was the biggest bet of her life, their father had told them that whoever achieves the most in Dragon's Domain would someday run the company. For Freya losing levels was not an option. It didn't help that her sister already was part of guild and would probably use them to level up at higher rate by having them drop from the party before she delivered the killing blow to monsters. However everything depended on getting to the capital first, better quests and equipment awaited whomever got there first. Once that person had the advantage then it would surely only widen the gap for achievements.
" I don't think we should in only 15 minutes I leveled up twice and you leveled up once. If we continue down this path we may be able to hit level 10 and be able to move on to the capital. No risk no reward right." Thor was counting on his stubbornness to take him to those enchanted swords. "Besides even if we only gain a couple level's and die we'll still be better off then we are now. At this point in the game there really is no downside to this path. I say we keep going because we can always reset at the Barracks. If that happens then we buy some more potions and head right back out here." Thor said as he was chopping another snakes head off. What he said off course made sense. Once Freya realized this she got energized and they started to work together really well. "I think were overthinking it, lets just move forward, stick together and when ever we level up pull the same move we just did." Thor added the last part because he wasn't sure if he had convinced Freya yet. " Lets try to coordinate our attacks better now that we are back together, you shoot at the snakes that are 3 or more meters away and I'll hack them to pieces once they get with in my sword range. Just be mindful of any that escape past me." Just as Thor said that the first wave of snakes ended as Thor chopped another snake in half.
"Alright lets loot these guys, I guess after that we can keep going, what you said makes a lot of sense." Freya suited her own words as she started to loot the first corpse. Once they were done they each showed what they had gotten.
"Well there isn't a lot of money, but it seems we can farm these guys for health and mana potions, this should also make this trip a lot easier. We should quick equip these I think the second wave maybe stronger. At least this way the fight may not seem so desperate even if we use up a lot of the potions, we should be able to get more." Thor was looking down the path he couldn't see the end. This may be a long fight I hope those swords are worth it. Once they were ready they set off down the path once again however this time they stayed together. Once the second wave started it turned out to be the same snakes again, since they already knew how to fight them it made it easier, the extra health and mana potions greatly improved their efficiency and they had both leveled up again by the end of second wave. Thor put 3 more to his strength, well Freya followed the same pattern of 2 to her agility and 1 to her intelligence. " Well we've made about 10 silver which isn't bad I doubt that uncommon quest would have given us as much. What is concerning me is these cure poison potions. Do you think we should equip them or do you think that it would just be a common item from these guys as we head farther down this path?"
" I think we should equip them on are quick slot, yes we have to take off either the health or mana, but I think being poisoned during battle because we figured this whole path won't change would make us fools." Freya realized that Thor might not think to well for himself, so she took the initiative. " Besides if it turns out that we are wrong about it we can just pull that maneuver you thought up and switch the potions back the way they were."
"Oh I didn't think that up, when I played Celestial with my buddy we were in a similar tight situation. Really I'm just good at remembering strategies he showed me. I think you'd like him, he's starting a new guild in this game because he got bored of the guild he created in Celestial. You should join us."
" Ha and which guild did he get bored off that he has to start a new one in this one, sounds more like he got kicked out." Freya couldn't believe that anybody would just abandoned a guild out of boredom.
"Well he's a special case, did you see the video that went viral about 6 months ago about Marcus Smith." Freya's mouth dropped. "Ha I knew that would shut you up."
"You are actually friends with him. I don't believe you. Prove it and I'll gladly join." Freya couldn't believe her luck if he really was friends with Marcus then her achievements were practically assured.
"Alright I'll have him send you a friend request." With that Thor contacted Uriel he explained the situation. A couple seconds later Freya got a request from a player named Uriel.
" Who is Uriel, Didn't he go by Michael in Celestial?" Now Freya was getting a little angry.
" He likes to name his character's after angels always has, but the thing is is he's not an assassin anymore. So being the Angel of Death would make no sense. Uriel was the Lightbringer, so as he is now playing a paladin he figures it's more fitting." Thor never could understand why Marcus had to be so clever, but it didn't matter to John because they'd been friends since grade school. That was all that mattered to him." Just accept the request then you can video chat him and confirm. But before you're video conference let's clear this path."
