Chapter 169 - (169) The Jig Is Up (1/2)

The subsequent three attempts were just as successful. Aside from Geth, everyone was in high spirits.

'This is taking longer than I thought it would.'

During the last ambush, the four younger party members had just reached Level 34. Blaze was the lowest Level in his original party at 35, and he still hadn't had the opportunity to gain experience.

Albus chimed in, 'You really shouldn't compare them to you. Remember, you gain experience twice as fast as they do.'

Sigh

'That doesn't make it any less frustrating. We only have one more hunting party before we need to push into the Dungeon.'

The most they could do was get two more members to Level 35. That would still leave two at 34 and very little progress for most of the others.

Felix had risen to Level 39 since he had already been close. Geth tried to determine the best route to take from here.

'We can't hold off on pushing the entrance. As soon as the hunting parties don't return, they'll be sure to send out scouts.'

'You're overthinking it,' Albus interrupted. 'You and your Arcane Archer are strong enough to push the entrance alone, never mind the rest of the party.

Give your other Skeleton Taming Cards to the weaker party members. It'll boost their overall survivability. It would be best if you tried taming some of these Direwolves.'

'Taming Cards can be given away just like that?' Geth asked.

Albus responded quickly, 'Yes, we actually used the same method for Taming in my lifetime. Most Humans were weak then, so Tames helped maintain the balance.'

'So, you're saying I'm supposed to play Pokemon with these Direwolves?'

'Play what?'

'Nevermind.'

Geth pulled out the Taming Cards that were currently in his possession. He had the Rogue, Hunter, and Archer that he could give away.

None of them had attempted to speak with him like the Arcane Archer had. As such, he didn't feel the same closeness as he did with his strongest Tame.

”Jack, Peter, Sindri! Come over here!” Geth shouted for the three to approach while Zolis cleaned up the bodies of the latest pack.

”What's up, Boss?” Jack asked him.

”The three of you are close-range fighters. That being said, I would like for you guys to have these.”

Geth handed out the cards to who he thought they would be best suited. Jack received the Rogue, Peter the Archer, and Sindri the Hunter.

The three took the cards, their faces full of curiosity. Sindri was quick to understand the gesture.

”These are your Skeletons! You can't just give them away like this. What if you need them?”

Geth waved her worries away, ”I'll be fine. You guys are the ones who are lacking. I also needed to free up some space for future Tames.”

”What about Rift?” Peter asked.

”Right now, you three are the ones that need some assistance. Rift is a ranged fighter, so he should be fine until we find something suitable.”

Geth had already given some cards to the magic users in Hulk's group. Supplying some ranged fighters with Orcs wouldn't be a terrible idea.
