The three looked at us as if we were insane.
The quantity of gear shown in the arsenal had fundamentally diminished. There were just two items left: a bow and a shield. In "Shot in the arm," when a hero dies, the equipment they were carrying vanishes.
Jenna took out a bow and quiver and tied them to her back. And I strapped the leather handle on the back of the wooden shield to my wrist.
As we prepared ourselves and exited the armory, the door closed immediately.
Iselle appeared and reprimanded us.
[Han, Jenna, Aaron, Toby, Yellens! Come here immediately!]
What is this place?
What do you expect from us?
Where did you come from? Send us back!
The men expressed hostility towards Iselle.
Jenna intervened.
Stop it. You don't need to see what happens if you interfere with her.
Are you one of them too? Did you bring us here?
I'm not one of them. A few days ago, I was brought here just like you. That's why I adapted first.
What's the point of messing with this annoying stuff? Anyway, they will figure it out on their own in no time.
After saying that, I walked into the crack of existence.
Regardless of how much Jenna and I figure out, they won't get it. Even if they do, they won't accept it.
Ugh, really.
Jenna, who seemed frustrated, let out a sigh and followed me. A protesting voice could be heard from behind.
My wife is waiting! Send me back quickly!
I'm a poor farmer with not a single coin. You've found the wrong person!
I wondered how long Iselle could endure.
Jenna asked me.
Will they die?
As long as they try to touch her.
Some time later, one of the men flew towards us like a shot. He fell to the ground and groaned in pain.
The remaining two also flew towards us. Finally, when Iselle entered, the door leading to the square closed.
From now on, to be tossed like a sack of garbage, listen carefully to what I say, just like those guys.
The furthest left mirror began to shine.
It was the reflection of the first dungeon. The master will probably send us in the future to the second floor. We can return to the first floor, but there's no benefit at this time.
As the light gradually filled the room, other party members beat on the exit, thinking they were about to die. Some even reached for Iselle.
Tsk, how troublesome!
Iselle gently floated upwards, avoiding their attacks.
And then, the room was filled with light.
Floor 2.
Mission Type: Annihilation.
Objective: Destroy the enemies!
Field Type: Plain.
Like a meadow but subtly different. The grass was sparse, and the ground was sloping.
Wolves, huh?
[Troll Lv.3] x 2
[Field Wolf Lv.4] x 2
Two wolves with black fur snarled on the higher slope. Above them, trolls with slings were hurling rocks.
I frowned. Both the terrain and the composition favored the enemies. We were below, and they were above. If it were only the wolves, it wouldn't be an issue, but there were long-range trolls too.
What's that?
Huff.
[Aaron() feels fear. All attributes decreased by 30%.]
[Toby() feels fear. All attributes decreased by 30%.]
[Yellens() feels fear. All attributes decreased by 30%.]
I took a deep breath.
Have ordinary people ever encountered wild beasts like this?
The wolves showed their hostility without reservation. I caught a glimpse of their sharp teeth, ready to bite and tear the soft flesh of a human.
I steadied my trembling heart. They may look formidable, but they're not a big deal. I've had fighting experience, and I've become skilled enough.
Snarl
[Jenna() feels fear. All attributes decreased by 30%.]
No. You shouldn't be like that.
I tapped Jenna's shoulder. She was shaking. It seemed she didn't notice me reaching out to her, and she suddenly let out a scream.
Aaaah!
Did she just scream?
What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?!
You scared me!
Jenna pouted at me.
But in the next moment, Jenna regained her composure.
[Jenna() is no longer afraid.]
It's okay. I just need a moment.
You take care of those two trolls. As long as I don't have to worry about rocks coming my way, I can handle the wolves myself.
Whoosh!
A troll hurled a stone. It wasn't aimed at me. It was aimed at Jenna, who was rummaging through the quiver. I dashed forward and deflected the stone with my shield.
This will be the last time!
Yes!
When I looked behind me, the other three were huddled together, trembling.
They're really useless.
This time, it seemed like they couldn't even pretend. The enemies were clearly targeting me and Jenna.
I bit my lip hard. I won't end up like those guys. I'll fight until the end.
And survive.
Grrraah!
A wolf leaped with its jaws open. It was a quadrupedal animal. Different from the human structure, it had exceptional agility. But I anticipated this pattern.
I thrust the old iron sword into the wolf's mouth.
Aren't you dead yet?
The wolf writhed miserably but didn't die from a single blow.
Even if it penetrated through the roof of its mouth, it didn't seem to reach its brain. I tried to withdraw the sword, but it got stuck somewhere between the bones. On the ridge, another wolf prowled back and forth.
Is it because the weapon is worn out?
Before I could think further, the other wolf lunged forward. I pressed my body against the ground and rolled aside. The terrain was sloped. The wolf's leap missed and hit the empty air.
When I stood up, I rushed forward and kicked the wolf with the sword caught in its mouth, then drew the sword with all my strength from its mouth and struck it on its temple.
One.
Crunch! Crack!
The wolf howled down the slope.
Our positions were reversed.
The wolf charged at me in a line. There was no need to retreat; I also surged forward with my shield.
When we met, I slapped the shield against the cheek of the wolf, then thrust the iron sword into its side.
Kaeng! Gaegaeng!
The wolf that had been writhing on the ground suddenly went limp.
Two down.
And the trolls?
I glanced up the slope. Two trolls, turned into pincushions by arrows, lay sprawled on the ground. With a stifling sound, another arrow pierced one of the trolls' bodies.
No more! They're dead.
Y-Yes!
Blood trickled down Jenna's forehead. It seemed like she had been hit by a stone.
[Stage Clear!]
[Han(), Jenna(), Level Up!]
