FLASH!
I move at the lighting speed. Although I can't use a sword in this state, I become to adapt to new power.
I deactivate my ability. I took out my sword to test my theory. I want to use electricity on my sword like irene.
The energy inside my core flows towards my hand, and then it covered the sword. In a normal eye, it just looks like an ordinary coating. But I change the substance of the energy the moment it leaves my body.
Ha!
I active the energy. Soon electricity formed. I swing my sword to test. Electricity stays on the sword. There is no monster near me, I can't test the ability effectively.
But body coating is enough for me right now. Irene looks at Lucian who is swinging the sword. She feels helpless since she enters this dungeon. She can't help her teammates.
Other people say she was born with talent but she trained so hard to get into this position. Only she knows about her hardship. Her family is poor, she can't effort nice techniques.
Therefore, she is grateful that Lucian teaches her energy flow techniques. She trains the energy flow all night without sleep.
Suddenly, Lucian keeps distant from her, she thought he needs alone time. But in her heart, she feels guilt, she wanders he keeps distant from her because he regrets teaching her techniques.
And he doesn't trust her, he keeps avoiding the conversation. He travels alone in the forest. He kills the one-eyed monster that has greater rank than the wolf, she struggled to kill.
He must lower his power to match her.
She hates feeling weak. She doesn't want to follow others. She wants to repay her debt. She remains shameless about techniques. She will get stronger using the techniques and prove to Lucian that she is worthy of his time.
She will. She has been training for five days straight even in the nighttime. Her techniques become more refined. She just needs another step to advance. Her instinct is telling.
Bloom!
Her rank increased. She looks at her hand and body. Her aura becomes denser. She opens a status window.
Name - Irene
Energy orb rank- -C
Skill- intermediate swordsmanship. Flame aura.
Unique ability- Throw (Rank-" A")
****( unlocked)
She was stunned. Her rank went up twice. Unlocked ability?
She smiled. Now she can catch up with Lucian.
***
' Look like Irene broke through. And rank " -C". '
I walk toward her to congratulate her. " Congratulations."
She smiled at me for the first time in a while. She lift her fist to bump my chest, and she said, " You don't need to hunt alone anymore. Call me next time."
I scratched my head lightly, and my lip curved a little. " Sorry."
She nodded, " I need to stabilize my rank."
" Oh. Okay."
I went back to training.
The next morning, we all prepared to raid. This time we will kill the dungeon boss.
Wilfrid also breaks through. He is now Rank- " D".
Reynard takes the lead, and Wilfrid gives direction. The walk was smooth.
Three wolves. Reynard glances at Wilfrid to give him an order. Wilfrid whispered.
" Reynard, Irene and Lucian. Three of them attack the wolves. Kyla will support you guys. Selena and I will keep guard from the new monster. You guys can kill them, right?"
Irene nodded confidently.
Wilfrid speaks, " Go."
Reynard charged at the wolves. Irene and I follow behind him. All three wolves attack him.
Raising the Shield, Reynard blocked the incoming attack with his physical strength. While wolves are being disturbed by Reynard, I kill the wolf effortlessly.
Irene also kills the wolf. I moved toward the remaining wolf but Irene was faster than me. She decapitated the wolf with a clean slash.
The roar comes from the side of our team. The monster with one eye appears.
Ten of them. We back away to the Wilfrid group.
I know how fast they are, I active electricity.
One-eyed monsters dashed toward us. Reynard stabs his shield on the ground. He touches the ground. " Great wall."
The ground emerges and forms the wall. Selena chants some work and points her staff toward the sky. " Ice arrow."
The ice arrow form in the sky and rain down. I hear the monster screaming. Wilfrid stepped forward and aim his spear at the wall. He twisted his leg and used the momentum to throw the spear.
It pierced the wall. He takes out another spear from the spacial ring and repeats.
After three times, he stops. He signals to Reynard. The wall crumbled instantly, revealing the corpses.
All of them are dead.
My eyes were wide open. The spear, Wilfrid threw, all went to the monster. Wilfrid pick up the spear, and after cleaning it for a bit he put it inside the ring.
How did he know where the monster was located?
After that, we killed the monster group. There is no problem. We reached the grassland, and suddenly the ground shook. Reynard tried to maintain it with his power but the ground split in half.
The head emerged from the ground. The monster was big. Its height was about five meters.
It doesn't have claws or any sharp features but. Brute strength. You can tell by looking at the muscles. It looks at us who is laying on the ground and releases an aura.
Just like humans, the monster also has rank.
The giant orc rank is B.
Shit!
We don't have the power to kill that monster yet. Wilfrid shouted, " RUN!"
He carried Kyla who is frozen due to the monster's pressure and grabbed Selena's hands and run away. It seems that the pressure has a stunning effect. My hands are shaking as well.
Reynard creates the wall to block the vision. But the giant stops it with a stomp.
Shit! The situation doesn't seem good. One must stay here to distract the monster. The moment this opinion appeared in my mind, I know that I had to do that. This is my job.
Was it because I have guilt left from the demon king? I don't have the answer nor do I need it.
I coated my body and went toward the giant. Irene shouted at me. " What are you doing, idiot? Come back."
Wilfrid also stopped to look at the situation. He stares into my eyes and seeing my determination he nodded. Right now, we can't run away from this thing.
And I'm faster than everyone so the survival change is high on my side. It seems that Wilfrid also understands my reason. He nodded at me and ordered Reynard to drag Irene with him.
Irene struggles but Reynard is stronger than her physically so he easily suppresses her.
I punch the giant leg. I can't use my sword so I utilize my fist and leg. I hope it will hinder the giant movement but it doesn't even flinch.
The giant punches me while crouching. The speed of the punch was faster than a one-eyed monster. But with my instinct and speed, I managed to dodge it.
It roar.
" Hey, ugly fuck." I yelled throwing rocks.
It does not hurt the giant but achieved the goal. Pissed him.
I run in the opposite direction. I can hear Irene's voice. I throw rocks and sometimes punched. After repeating the pattern five times, the giant patient reaches its limit.
'Great. They all run away pretty far from here. '
I decided to run as well. The moment I run from the giant. The ground shook and within a few secind, the ground was flying.
The giant makes the ground float in the air. Shit.
