Chapter 126 - 123 : No One Will Be Forgiven (1/2)

”Arghh! Those bastards... so shameless and greedy.... our skill book. *sigh* It was priceless yet we just let it go...”

As Saku complained, her eyes glanced at Lucy as she was confused about why this powerful person didn't move a finger and just let that party get away.

She and the other two were feeling bitter about what happened earlier as for them, a skill book is very rare and a magical one at that is more so. Feeling bitter and sad, Saku and Guan Gi blamed Lucy for not acting but none of them dared speak loudly as they do not have any right to do so. As for Alin, she was a bit sad but she didn't fret about it and could never blame Lucy, instead, she admired her so much that it almost turned into worship.

After witnessing Lucy's greatness for more than two hours, none of the three newbies doubted her ability to take the book back from the 8-man team with ease but for some odd reason, she simply let them have the book and continued doing her own thing.

What they didn't know is that Lucy had almost an infinite number of skill books, be it melee or magical skill books, she had them all. Since she met Arthur, she didn't stop collecting them, although it was useless she still enjoyed having more. Some of them were given to Saly as they were just a bit useful but as time passes, it'll become useless for little Saly too.

Skill books are only useful for weak mortals and people below Lv1000. Once you enter the Spirit Realm, those skill books become irrelevant and needless because any person would be able to create an upgraded version of those skills without having to resort to them.

Let's take for example a simple yet strong such as [Flame Tornado], Lucy, who is an expert in Fire Attribute can create a Flame Tornado much bigger and stronger than the one the book provides without needing to use the skill itself, just the Flame Mastery is enough.

Saku continued ranting and complaining for some time before she realized it was futile as Delia resumed enjoying her wine and Lucy obliterated every Gnome that charged at them.

They thought the fourth floor would be harder, even by a little bit, however it didn't appear to be the case. The pace never slowed instead it accelerated by a fair bit. The fourth floor was bigger than the previous ones and Lucy picked up the pace as she thought it was too slow.

To be honest, she could finish the whole dungeon with one attack and if she can solo raid it, it would take less than a minute, more like a couple of seconds as the monsters were just too weak.

Weak to the point that Saly could solo it, the boss may be a bit difficult to beat but it's not an impossible task.

'Kiiiiiiiiir' 'kiiiiiiir'

Another group of Gnomes was burned to ashes before they managed to get close to Lucy and co. A radius of thirty meters around the team was a barrier laid to protect them from any traps and any monster that entered the barrier would be burned instantly.

Lucy made it this way so she doesn't have to personally deal with every monster, the barrier would do its job properly with no problems since the monsters are too weak to break it.

It's supposed to be a defensive skill and the collateral damage of the flames is not supposed to kill the enemies but since Lucy's intelligence is sky-high and the Gnomes are only Lv10, it's no wonder they died instantly.

Even if it was a lv100 monster, it'll meet the same fate.

By the end of the fourth floor, the team was lucky again and found another treasure chest in a secluded corner.

Like a crazy mother who just found her lost kid, Saku charged at the treasure and embraced it tightly. With lightning speed, she took it and dashed back next to Lucy for fear of anyone appearing out of nowhere like last time.

Once she ascertained that Lucy is nearby and the chest was in her arms, Saku breathed a sigh of relief and finally expressed her joy although it was a late reaction.

”The Gods have not forgotten about us at least!”

”Quickly open it! Quickly!”

Guan Gi was also excited, he walked next to Saku and eagerly waited for her to open it. He couldn't forcefully take it from her as she would literally jump at him like an angry cat.

After hugging the chest for a couple of seconds and being urged repeatedly by Guan Gi, Saku threw a piercing glare at him then opened the chest.

With excited and shaking hands, Saku took out a curved brown saber. There was a sliver of disappointment flashing in her eyes for a split seconds before diminishing and going back to their usual happiness.

Curved Bone Saber : +15 Strength / +10 Agility

Effect: If the user lands a critical hit, he'll gain 10% increased defense for 15 seconds.

Cooldown: 1 minute.

Description: A saber made from Gnomes bones, it is frequently used by Gnomes Chiefs.

Level requirement: 5

”Woaaaaah! It's a saber! Gimme gimme!”

Guan Gi snatched the saber from Saku's hands before she could celebrate, unlike what she was thinking, Guan Gi wanted to use this saber instead of his weak Steel Sword. He always wished for a stronger weapon and this one fitted his criteria as it added a lot of stats.

”You brainless fool! This saber does not belong to you! You didn't even contribute! We're going to sell it and share the money, this kind of weapon can easily fetch us 100k!”

Saku put both her hands on her waist and glared angrily at him, making the poor burly man back away and reluctantly look at the saber before letting go of it.

He was too excited to the point that he forgot the fact that he literally did nothing since they entered the dungeon, he just was watched from the side and Lucy did all the work. Hopefully, Lucy would be kind enough to share the money with them.

”Whatever, you can take that saber, use it or sell it...”
