Chapter 4: terrifying
Maria moved like a character of an ancient game Aion shouting and shaking his halberd with skill, I said I do not think that a month of practice is enough for you to move to if to which she replied that's true my little joon actually I practiced martial arts since I can remember I competed in the Olympics in karate at 17 years representing my nation did not win but I can say that I was not the worst of the event, I also practiced system and boxing and how to forget the Kenpō that I practiced in my room imitating the masters of internet you see I am not new in this the art of fighting with swords and halberds is new to me. Even so I am not amazing my dear joon.
You see you can't beat me, even if you try," she said as she bent over with her hands behind her back holding her halberd, "she was without a doubt a dangerously beautiful woman.
That's when my heart couldn't take it anymore and I said I'm a selfish man so let me ask you if I brew coffee or brew my life.
Then he was nervous waiting for her answer, but on the outside he was serious and staring at her.
She just laughed sweetly and said it will be good why don't you serve me coffee all your life after all only children choose I want it all.
I just jumped to hug her and turn her in the air and then I was surprised because my lips were already glued to hers, in fact she was the one who started the kiss, what I would have given to have her in reality at that moment, She then released me and said look angry rats have a low level but there are so many that low level players fear them if they attack one the rest attack you until there is none left or they eliminate their opponent, do you think if to celebrate that I have you as a servant we can have a party with these rats, we need to raise our levels after all.
We are still at level one so it was dangerous so I objected arguing that we only had 10 lives if we lost them it would be a disaster because we would have to start over again to which she replied if we die with all the statistics we have then we are useless to earn a living as professional players and dedicate ourselves to something else would be the best in fact we would save time to which I was speechless especially when she said it with that face so determined and reflecting such confidence was like Luffy when he said he will be the pirate king.
the rats had levels between 5 and 10 no doubt a level one player or group of players couldn't handle them but we had stats well above average.
I grabbed my staff and shouted it's time to kill Rats! And with a leap and brandishing the cane as if it were a one-handed sword I hit the head of the rat or at least I tried because the rat evaded it to counterattack instantly in fact it opened bit me in the neck if it wasn't for a blade that cut from the rodent's open mouth to the tail killing it in an instant, then the nearby rats rushed at us at great speed, without a doubt that was the highest statistic of these bugs but they couldn't compare to my combat skills or so I would like to say but the truth was that maria was the one who didn't miss a blow, not even a single one, she hit with the blade, with the hilt of her halberd, I tried to keep up with her but it was impossible, the rats bit my foot and I stepped on them, I hit them with a cane or grabbed them with my hand and then I smashed them on the ground of course without taking a few bites without a doubt I was not bad but I could not compare to her the true martial artist fortunately I could specialize in support mace by the way I had the ability to contract which was an inherent ability to my class, I could try to sign a contract with these rats but something told me that it would not be a good deal after all these rats were individually weak.
My HP was constantly in the red I used healing regularly to heal myself since maria's health had barely decreased I would even say that she hadn't received any direct hits Fortunately we managed to finish off the 105 rats that attacked us after that fight I was surprised that we barely reached level 3 to be exact I was level 3 and maria is level 4. We barely reached level 3 to be exact I was at level 3 and maria was at level 4 at the end of the massacre of the rats we were still not very far from the city so we returned to sell the rat skin cores were not worth much but enough to buy 5 health potions and one mana potion.
Then we left again: while we were doing it I checked my stats.

My little joon woo, no orion53 you will go after me like a princess and cure me you will take care of the leftover rats, the others leave them to me, my girlfriend said that without a hint of sympathy for her boyfriend's wounded pride.
As she entered the rats' lair, they pounced on us but as usual the silver maiden raised her leg like a taekwondoka in a 180 degree angle hitting a rat in the abdomen and sending it flying to the ceiling of the dungeon, then she lowered her foot and crushed another miserable creature turning it into ashes in an instant while her halberd spun vertically in the air, immediately after the halberd cut horizontally 30 centimeters from the ground, the rats jumped to attack her but they only jumped into the air because she was also flying 30 centimeters from the ground holding her weapon, she placed one foot on the ground to spin like a spinning top twice on its own axis, when the spinning stopped she had a rat impaled on the halberd and another one was unraveling under her right foot while a black smoke was spreading around her, sign of the death of the poor rats that were sacrificed in that movement some of the rats diverted their attention from her.
They came to me so I could only stomp and hit in the direction of the rat that pounced on me, I lowered the cane in a straight blow through the creature's raneum, my blows were definitely more accurate and precise compared to the first battle, the rats that arrived were too many and soon began to bite me from all sides, I stepped on them and hit them but it was not enough, one of them bit my hand with which I held the cane, I took that one with my other hand and bit it until it disappeared in a beautiful smoke and faint black smoke leaving behind its fragments that fell to the ground I didn't even bother to pick them up I finished that feat I healed myself with healing and looked at the battle in front what I saw left me passing because it was a sea of black smoke that kept appearing and disappearing from left to right. While a white-haired woman fluttered through the air while she was besieged by rats that seemed to be flying, the curious thing was that only two were biting her thigh and one near the right forearm but they did not last long because a stick passed over the head of the rodent that was biting her forearm and a quick movement pushed away the other two that were biting her.
She turned her left fist and her right leg were on the heads of two rats that were biting my foot, I almost died who knows how many times if it wasn't for that white gale in the shape of a woman that appeared at the exact moment to cut off the heads of the creatures that were biting me and pushed the rest away, I can only imagine that I was waiting for a horrible death in this terrifying place, I don't know how much time passed but we ended up with hundreds of creatures.
The worst of all is that it was not the end of this dungeon, it was just the beginning when we healed ourselves we went ahead and provoked another set of rats that while they did not attack sincerely almost made me in my pants, because their chilidos and the way they were grouped looking like a super living organism, was terrifying, if not for preserving the little dignity I had as a boyfriend and man I would have run.
As we advanced testing 5 herds of those creatures that I don't even want to remember their names, we arrived to a room where the angry rats were 3 times bigger than usual, they were approximately 500, they were between level 10 and 15 and in the background we could see a couple of rats of level 25, this was a suicide.
But my companion didn't seem to be afraid, it was as if she loved living between life and death.
I had no choice but to say go straight for the big ones, I'll be right behind you, if we die here it's just a sign that we weren't strong enough.
The rats looked at us and growled in threat, but that does not matter to the silver maiden because she ran like the wind over the sea of rodents and before I knew it the angry rats and the aura of her albarda already collided in the darkness of this cavern looked like a scene out of a movie where a maiden facing a host of demons while blue lights accompanied the heroine.
By the way, the aura was an ability that gave her more range and the impact generated waves that killed the nearby rats without a doubt that was what made her a killing machine and generated a violet light in the halberd, but I still did not understand what made her a soul blinder.
I quickly began to use healing on maria, and on me since I was behind her in the middle of the rats.
She was like a gale because as she advanced she was undoubtedly killing many creatures so lolo could hit us from time to time because he was focused on healing us, suddenly we heard the screeching of the angry rats, now they were honoring their angry rats, their eyes glowed a fiery red as they screamed, apparently one of their leaders had died, they looked at us and snarled for a few seconds that only served to freeze my blood, the charge began which was a monstrous stampede on my girlfriend, I wanted to be something but seeing the mass of creatures jumping through the air while lotuses of smoke appeared like fireworks, At the front of the pursuing group I calmed down as no one was attacking me I cast healing on the maiden and looked around there was a rat the size of a dog when I identified it, it just said mother rat level 25 and I was heading towards her I lowered my staff aiming for her hundred but she jumped behind me and dodged it, I didn't take long to chase it but it dodged one more time and then counterattacked me in the neck, I activated healing and attacked with the staff in the belly of the creature not once but 5 times, it even let me go with the same speed, I brandished the staff as if it were a sword and managed to hit the belly of the creature and then followed with a direct kick to its head.
Fortunately I managed to place the cane between those teeth and my face then I turned it to the left I gave a cartwheel without letting go of the cane and fell on the rodent's back, I held on to its abdomen with my legs and as if I were doing a belly flop I tried to raise the baton opening the mouth of the furious mother rat in the process but it didn't go well because the creature also rolled on the ground at the end, I was again seeing those teeth on my neck and this time I was sure to die, I don't know how it happened but in a split second I moved the staff into the monster's mouth in front of me as if it was a spear, and then I only felt relief when I saw the faint smoke characteristic of when a monster or creature dies in Andromeda I tried to heal myself to see how the combat continued in front of me only to see a young white haired woman slaughtering the rats I already felt sorry for them.
She leapt her legs one to the floor and the other to the ceiling of a low section of the dungeon crushing two rats one against the floor and the other against the ceiling while with her halberd she impaled two more rats and then continued with her swift movements rolling on the floor making somersaults while lotuses of smoke bloomed where she passed by.
She jumped, stretching her legs, one to the floor and the other to the ceiling of a lower section of the dungeon, crushing two rats, one against the floor and the other against the ceiling, while the halberd impaled 2 more rats and then continued with rapid movements. rolling on the ground doing somersaults while smoke lotuses bloomed wherever she passed.
Even if we cleared the dungeon by killing the last monster, a regional bell rang:
Congratulations to players orion53 and the silver maiden plus 300 fame for being the first to clear the angry rat dungeon (level 30).
I looked at our levels and I was already at level 10 but I had staff proficiency between my class specs by 3%.
The maiden had mastery of the halberd in 15% and acrobatics in 8%, martial arts in 3%.
I honestly envied her, if I asked I understand that the aura is an ability that is active every time you go into battle but that blinds souls, you still haven't told me, to which she responded not long ago that it only guides souls to the eternal rest and when it does it restores a percentage of the maximum health of the creature I have killed and releases an aura that weakens the attacks of nearby enemies for 5s and restores 1% of the mana of the guided target, that is, it restores my mana and life for every creature you kill.
That was broken without a doubt, it was already terrifying her pure fighting ability, and with the aura without a doubt it was even worse, but with Soul Blinder, she was a walking calamity I honestly didn't believe there was anyone in the entire server. that could kill more bugs than her alone
In fact, I think she would do better alone than with me.
