Chapter 86 (1/2)
After laughing out loud for a while, Wu Yan had just about enough laughing when his lips started to become sore, his eyes showed that he had planned to continue but stopped the thought. That’s because he knows that they may have become stronger but they are still far off from being truly powerful.
The path to the top has just begun.
Hinagiku and Mikoto understand it as well. Mikoto in particular could feel the grind ahead, just look at Ikaros and Accelerator, they are undoubtedly way better than her!
To save the sisters would require her to be at least tier 8, i.e. level 70. Only then would she have the qualification and make no hasty guess for it is only a qualification to challenge not a guarantee of advantage.
That’s because even if they achieve their objective of saving the sisters, they would still need to make provisions against Academy City to make certain that the sisters are saved.
And, to that end, there exists a need to get stronger!
Meanwhile, Hinagiku’s reason of being on this path is much simpler, to catch up to Wu Yan and stand by his side and most importantly be there in times of need. That is all.
Hinagiku looked at the bodies on the ground while frowning and hugged Lirin who is being completely obedient.
“Yan, I think we should leave this place quickly, I don’t like this kind of place…”
Mikoto frowned as well and simply looked away after a quick glance over the ground. She tacitly asked him to make the call.
“Nn, let’s move forward!”
Knowing that the two girl still needs some time to get used to this kind of scene he didn’t even give it much thought and steered the group forward. They already know the cause of death for this ma.s.s death so there’s no point in staying any longer.
En route, the path are littered with bodies, although the number decreased as they moved on they still kept their guards up.
The main reason is that the deceased are stronger than the ones they encountered before.
The ones they saw before were mainly those tier 5 and below. But as they moved deeper and deeper into this place, the deceased ones are those that could pose a danger to them, namely tier 6, and these people were many in number!
Tier 6, the same tier cla.s.s as Wu Yan. They are only approximately 100 of these individuals and they have spotted approx 30 dead on the floor already.
Which is why they are scanning the whole place using System’s scanning function. Ikaros deserves special mention for simultaneously using her own scan in addition to the System’s to prevent anything happening to Wu Yan & company.
Perhaps among them, Lirin’s the one with the easiest mood. Afterall, she did insist on coming here while throwing a tantrum before and now that she’s here she reckons it’s best if she stay quiet in Hinagiku’s arms to lessen the burden on them.
It’s due to this nature of hers that can read mood that she’s here on Wu Yan’s consent. Of course, being obedient and quiet isn’t the only factor, he also bought a bunch of gadgets from the System to make sure she would absolutely come out of this with no harm otherwise he could never bring such a defenseless kid into this kind of place.
Rather than calling it a stone pa.s.sage, one might call it a stone labyrinth for that would be more apt seeing as they winded about through the curvy and maze like place. They are that close to getting confused at turning about so many times. And right then, many more familiar looking stone appeared!
To h.e.l.l with a.s.suming they’re normal stones, he signaled them to stop and moved back a distance with raised eyebrow.
Can’t blame em, their experience are fresh as h.e.l.l, the bigger the stones the stronger the stone spiders within them. What’s more the stones they are looking at right now is bigger than before.
The ominous cracking sound came and soon followed the thuds. Good G.o.d the fuglies are here again.
