56 Chapter 50 ~ Party Expedition 1: Seal from the Pas (1/2)
…
Reinvigorated with the feeling of their new armor, they set out to find the skill that is essential to have. It is none other than the [Appraisal] itself. ”Remind me again, how do we find that thing?” asked Kurira. Not long after Siola fixes up her gloves, she responded, ”A lot. Though, our only option right now is to get it through stealing the Spell Book from other players which impossible since none of them carry an extra book inside their pockets… or farming Night Star Dungeon, though, I need to rank up first. Won't be much help in this current state.”
Rakuri then asked, ”That place has the lowest chance to get it though, we can't have it for all of us if we do that.”
”Well, we don't have a choice. Either that or run around and ask every single player if they have [Appraisal] Book or not, and if they have, we'll have to steal it before they log out.”
After a ponder in her thought, Kurira went to hugged both of them. Grasping Siola's butt cheeks while Groping Rakuri's bosom.
”What are you doing?” asked Rakuri, ready to kill her. ”…” after a paused, she said, ”Hon, you look really scary right now, you know.”
After a slap on her cheeks, she then decided for the team to pursue the farming route.
But first, they need to level up. There is almost nothing good that they can do at low levels and they need to reach at least a master rank to be able to do something that can be considered useful and not a time-waster.
Playing casually, fun and games and all that… is not going to work for the tree. When you're in it for the professional plays, you have to go all the way.
They have left the kingdom's ground and went to the forest. The reason why people are not coming here is that there is almost no merit that can be earn in this place. The outside layer of the forest almost has no animals around, and instead, it's swarmed by monsters. Only in the deeper parts of the forest where you can find food.
The night has almost come, they hastily run deeper inside the forest. Passing by all the low-level enemies in search of the higher-level ones.
And soon they found them.
Swarm of winged ant creatures flew around the many trees on the open ground. Hiding behind a stone, Kurira whispered, ”What about that one?”
”Hmm…” Siola responded, ”That thing usually ranges from lv. 50 to lv. 120. When they roam around like this, I don't think we need to worry about running into their mom. Though, we need to quickly finish them before night comes.”
They all afraid of the nights, at least for now, and aside from Siola who is afraid of the darkness. When in the night time, all the creatures are amplified and start a war with each other, any players that swoop in the middle of them are dead meat, unless they're high level.
”We just need to get to level 40, that means… we need to kill about 200 of them.”
”That's…” Rakuri's face hardened, ”We don't have that much time, how about we killed half and retreat? We can come back tomorrow.”
”No,” said Kurira, ”We can do it, let's go.” Hastily unsheathing her weapons, Kurira charged towards them as she put on her winged helmet. ”Eh? Wait, now?” Rakuri was baffled, she was totally unprepared. After equipping her fur food on, she gritted her teeth and followed her, ”Ngrrr, why are you always be like this!! Stay here, Dola.”
Nodding to her command, Siola stays put while the two do their part.
Watching from the distance as the two slice and dice tens of the ant creatures, level 70 and below are nothing to them, but higher than 90, that's when troubles start kicking in.
And they can't tell which one is which.
Siola noticed it before, she should've expected it for sure, but when they are charging. The ant creatures are already coming at them, meaning there is no aggro range. She thought to herself, 'Isn't it pointless to stay here? They'll find me sooner or later.'
And so, she decided to step in.
Using [Nimble Movement] and [Blinding Light] at the same time, despite wearing such heavy armor, Kurira managed to stun many of them just by running around and let Rakuri finished them off. Unlike a normal tank like Guardian, Kurira has no Taunt or Battle Cry. So, she had to do this kind of playstyle that she hates the most… Running.
The unaffected ant opened their mouth and about to send many [Piercing Needles] her way, but she quickly raised her hands and activated [Light Flash] it quickly went on cooldown for another 300 seconds. That's enough for people to boil noodles, eat, and pack it up.
Both the two previous skills are also in cooldown.
The needles were fired at her at a terrifyingly fast speed, but all of them hit their own friends.
One of the unaffected ants from the back charged onward. ”Geh, oh right. Let's try that. Come at me, boy!” holding her ground, she steadied her shield up. When the ant was about to pierce her head with its fangs, Kurira clenched her fist and then parried it away with her shield.
*Bangst*
Her eyes widened, ”Holy shit, that actually works!”
