Chapter 47 - Two Heros Party 4 (2/2)
[Ooh-ohhhhhhhhhh!]
Some unknown force was preventing them from running away, so they became confused for a brief amount of time.However, when they realized there wasn’t an additional strike coming as a follow up, the Gnolls once again turned their attention to Sienna.
Artpe gave an explanation.
“The dog head of Gnolls isn’t just a decoration.They are very dumb.”
“I think they are more stupid than the Skeletons with no brains.”
It was the worst insult that could come out of Maetel’s mouth.However, when one saw the Gnolls keep attackingwith increased fervor as if nothing had happened, it was an apt observation.
“Koo-oohk······ I can do this!”
Sienna was the only one fighting them, and she had a hardened expression on her face.Her fists were still weak, and her self-healing ability was lacking.However, she didn’t back down as she glared at her opponents.At this point, Artpe would have already given her a passing grade.
[Koo-ohhhhhhhng!]
[Ah-ooooooh!Gah-roo-roo-roo-roo!]
The Gnolls mindlessly howled as they swung their maces.Sienna quickly assessed their attacks, and she planted her fists into their abdomens.She couldn’t avoid all the maces, yet she was showing excellent body movement for someone that wasn’t level 50 yet.
“All right.We did it.”
“Yes, I dont’ think she’ll die.”
Sienna was effectively fighting amongst the pack of Gnolls.Artpe let out a sigh of relief when he confirmed this.Her growth plan had to be tweaked, but he also judged that she would be able to become much stronger in a shorter time frame.
“Hoo-ahhhhhhhhp!”
Sienna was striking out with powerful punches.Her fist cleanly lodged inside the eye of a Gnoll as she was able to land a Critical Hit.At that moment, the flow of the battle started turning towards her favor.
[Kwehhhhhhhhk!]
[Koo-hee!?]
“······hooo.”
Humans were supposed to be weaker than them, yet one of their own had been killed.This truth made the Gnolls rage….
However, a marvelous smile on Sienna’s face greeted the Gnolls.
Sienna just had an epiphany about the flow and momentum of a battle.
After two days within the Dungeon, Sienna safely raised her level to 50.
She used the Crystal Ball of Blessing to acquire the high rank Class as a Warrior Priestess.
From that point on, there was a jump in her growth.
As time passed, Artpe had to step forward less with his Mana Strings.It was proof that the degree to which she was contributing to the battle had increased.When they slaughtered all the monsters and found all the hidden treasures on the 6th floor, her level had reached 60.
“Still, we are fortunate that this place is easier than the Hero’s Dungeon, Artpe.Isn’t it?”
“Just the thought of that place makes me grind my teeth.Don’t talk to me about it.”
“Where the heck did unni and oppa go that you guys speak of it that way…..?”
The Dungeon slyly extended into the 8th floor.Fortunately for them, the floor didn’t reach double digits like the disaster that was the Hero’s Growth Dungeon.
[Koo-ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
“Hahp!”
In the Boss Room on the 8th floor, Sienna safely killed the level 75 Gnoll Chieftain in a one on one battle.Sienna proudly took its Sledge Hammer as a trophy.
The head of the black steel hammer was unusually large and sharp.It wasn’t something a level 75 Gnoll should be using.At this point, Artpe once again felt that the luck of the hero’s party was a cheat.
“Oh my, customer.Could it be that the metal used to make that helmet was…..”
“I’m not selling it.”
“Customer, you are too much!”
Mycenae appeared once again with impeccable timing.This time she hadn’t just acquired hand to hand combat skills.She had brought weapon skills too.
Mycenae was about to say something, because she felt sorry for the small girl carrying around such a large hammer.However, her words dried up when she saw Sienna swing it around with both hands.
“I thought it would take us one week to clear this Dungeon, yet we spent one month here.Mmm.Perfect.This is such a perfectly fucked up situation.”
“Because of me….I’m sorry, oppa.······ I’ll fight harder next time!”
“No, you were fine.Actually, you really overdid yourself.The only reason why this situation is fucked up is because of god.”
“If so, I’ll kill god for oppa!”
He thought he had heard that line from somewhere before.He let out a big sigh.
Maetel once again showed her competitive spirit when she heard Sienna’s words.Sienna kept letting out a bright smile.
Afterwards, a similar pattern emerged.
Fortunately, there was no changes to the second Dungeon.However, they found a secret tunnel inside the third Dungeon that continued until the 14th floor.
While they were traveling towards the fourth Dungeon, they encountered a cursed old lady living in a small city.They had to waste time in curing her.Then the 5th Dungeon was a Dungeon filled with Undeads, and Sienna stumbled into a secret prerequisite by being a Warrior Priestess.A path of suffering opened up that led the party down to the 20th floor.
They encountered similar harsh difficulties on the sixth and seventh Dungeons.At that point, Sienna hadn’t just grown enough for a single person.She grew enough for three to five people to become an superb Warrior Priestess.
She smashed through all tribulation, which seemed to have been prepared for her, with her hammer.If she couldn’t handle a boss monster, Maetel and Artpe smashed it.
They had entered the Dungeons to help the development of the little Warrior Priestess.
However, the difficulty of the Dungeons were all over the place that even the heroes increased in their level.The word chaos was insufficient to describe their situation.
“Wow.That’s the ocean!It really is amazing!Pretty!”
“This is also my first time seeing the ocean, unni.Wa-ahhhh.”
At the end of the tribulation, they finally reached Frate.At the latest, he had planned on arriving here during early spring.However, they had arrived during summer when the warm winds could be felt.Thankfully, they hadn’t arrived here during fall.Artpe kept wiping away at the sweat that kept trickling into his eyes as he spoke to his party.
“Well······ Shall we go rest a little bit?”
“Yes!”
It was the day they entered into Frate.
Maetel was level 191, and Artpe was level 187.Sienna had reached the level 159.
