Chereads / Warcaster Of Misfortune / Chapter 46 - Harpies

Chapter 46 - Harpies

We were walking down the path which would take us to the villages that were getting attacked by the harpies. We started talking about ourselves and what we could do.

"Well you can consider me to be of the mage class since I mainly use magic." I said trying to keep the fact that I was a BIT stronger than most people in many ways.

[A 'bit' is an understatement]

Alexandra noted that I was a mage and said, "I'm...well you can consider me a paladin. I'm a bit different from normal paladins."

Well I can see that. Normally paladins are highly sought after since it was a class associated with churches and had a high survival rate even when soloing. Paladins can be split up into three types. The offensive, defensive and support types. Guiding by the fact that Alexandra was wielding a large two handed great sword, she was of the offensive type.

So we have a sort of mage and a sort of paladin in this party. Well hopefully Alexandra has a long range attack since harpies are flying creatures. Wait I still don't know her level. It should be in the 200s right judging by the armor she's wearing.

"Alexandra what level are you?" I asked in my kindness voice ever.

Alexandra was taken a bit back when I asked her about her level. She took a moment and said, "Tell me your level first."

Hmm? Why would she want to know my level first? Well there's no harm in it.

"Level 92." I said.

With that Alexandra sighed I relief and said, "I'm level 95. I'm glad we're near the same level."

Why would she be glad that I was near her level?

"Well the thing is that my class is a bit unique and a bit more powerful than normal. Since I heard you killed a Cyclops I was thinking that you were a considerably high level. I see that you also have a powerful class if you could handle a Cyclops on your own."

Umm....there was a party with me that got killed but who cares about them.

"Also its nice to have a girls night out!"

Eh? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Trying to calm myself I was about to say I was a guy but considering the circumstances and what I could do...the possibilities....

[Eden this could end really bad for you if you tell a lie]

Right.....shit. All my hopes and dreams.....

"I'm a...guy."

Alexandra was shocked. But not the way I expected she was.

She quickly smiled and said, "This will be interesting later on."

She had that evil schemer smile on her face. I had a sudden chill when I saw it.

Some time later....

We arrived to where the Harpies were. We had to run around to find these things but it was worth it in the end. There was 21 Harpies in total. The village was already doomed so we don't need to care about saving the survivors. Both of us were sneaking nearer and nearer to the Harpies to get a good surprise attack. Apparently Alexandra has a long range attack that she can use. The plan we agreed on was for me to attack first then Alexandra to follow up. We don't really know each other's true abilities so this was a first to both of us that usually hunt alone.

I imagined the Harpies that were on the houses and in the sky to be stuck by lightning. I targeted as much of them as possible, especially the ones in the sky.

"Lightning Bolt times 10"

10 bolts of lightning cam out of my hands and hit 10 of the Harpies which killed most of them. Alerted to the presence of enemies all of the Harpies decided to attack us. Well us sneaking was useless right now so I got up and prepared another spell to use.

"Sword Wave"

BANG

Alexandra swung her sword in the direction of the Harpies. A wave came out of it and flew a couple of metres to hit and cleanly kill some Harpies. Now there were 12 Harpies left. Seeing that they were outmatched, the Harpies decided to run away but I wasn't going to let them go.

"Wind Vortex"

FLOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wind was sucking in everything in the area. The Harpies were trying to escape but my spell trapped them in the ruins of the village.

"Sword Wave"

BANG

Alexandra shot another wave to the centre of the wind vortex and made a big explosion killing the Harpies in one go.

"Hmm...I levelled up three times" I said out loud.

"I levelled up twice." said Alexandra.

With that returned to the information guild for our reward.

"Here is your reward, 100 gold." said the receptionist. I took the bag of gold and split it 50/50 between the two of us. If it were up to me, I would've killed her and take all of the gold for my self but llyfr said it would be a very bad idea if I did.

Alexandra came up to me and said, "We should party from now on."

Without a reason to reject her I said, "Fine."
