Chapter 82: Teamwork (2/2)

”Sistela did a good job,” Almina said.

”Mhm.”

He heard his deity's proud voice but Yman chose to disregard. It was because all of his money was spent to upgrade Sistela's part. Right now, if they were not in resonance, her figure was of that Nixie spirit.

”Let's take the valuable parts,” he urged them.

Everyone nodded.

They took the monster's Inner Core, Tail, Nails, and fangs. Everyone brightened up when Yman lifted a Magic Cryst.

”I never thought that there'd be a day for me to see this kind of item again,” Ultima tearfully said.

”Kuku, wasn't that an exaggeration Sir Ult?” Yman tried to tease him.

”No, it wasn't!” Mercenary Ultima Shouted.

Yman and the two girls chuckled at him.

The group continued their advance and they encountered lots of monsters.

There once an Evil Bat that evolved into a Wanderer class.

In order to kill it, Almina and the others bombarded it using long-range attacks. Almina used her flame waves, sending flame in the form of a crescent moon.

However, it wasn't an effective long range. It had a short distance and it wasn't so fast. She said she was sorry for not being helpful and told them that it wasn't long when she learned it, and that she wasn't proficient enough to use it. This technique was the evolved form of the technique she used to attack one of the attackers on the hill.

Sistela was also feeling helpless, it was the first time for her to encounter this type of Wanderer, so she could not pinpoint its weak points.

Maena was able to pierce the monster to every part of its body. And the left part of its large wing was skewered by Mercenary Ultima with his wave of emerald energy.

This wave of emerald energywas a secondary class ability. It was supposed to be strong, however Ultima's breakthrough level wasn't enough to manifest the real strength of this technique.

The Wanderer Bat had the ability to heal itself like the Mustang Spider. It was a headache for them to kill it.

Yman suggested something on Almina. She tried to decline but when she noticed Yman's firm gaze at her.

Before she agreed, she bashfully said, ”Promise me that you won't look up.”

Yman felt a little embarrassed at Almina's words. But he nodded multiple times.

Almina was on Yman's back, waiting for his signal.

It was hard to find a perfect opportunity because the enemy was sending gusts by flapping its wings.

Suddenly, it dove towards Maena who was one of the decoys.

Maena evaded by diving to her side.

When Yman noticed that the enemy was about to ascend.

”Miss Almina!”

”Just call me Almina!” She shouted.

”Eh?”

For some reason, her reply almost stunned him.

”O-Okay, A-Almina!”

Wearing a smile on her face, she quickly stepped on his shoulder. Then Yman used Rapid Leap towards the ascending enemy.

He, together with Almina who was stepping on his shoulder appeared in mid air, closely behind the enemy.

Then Almina summoned all her strength on her feet and used her Rapid Leap. Because of this, Yman was sent crashing on the ground, while Almina appeared on top of the monster, brandishing her firesword downwards with all her strength.

Flame Wave! She shouted.

Mercenary Ultima rushed and dove to where Yman would land.

The fire sword sliced the Wanderer Bat neatly, and it was engulfed by the flame.

On the other hand, Yman crashed on the back of Mercenary Ultima. The two of them were lying on the ground, withtheir backsfacing the high ceiling of the underground channel.

”Kyaaaaaah!!”

Maena wanted to rush to catch Almina but he calculated that she would fall on the guys so she decided to let her be.

Before Yman and Ultima could stand up. ”Yman, catch meeeee!!!” Almina was rapidly falling. The two boys gulped as they felt a bad premonition.

A moment later they both groaned in pain when Almina landed on Yman's back.

Mercenary Ultima and Yman's eyes turned white.
