Chapter 150 - 150. Abort! Abort! Return To Base! (1/2)
The glaring look that was given to me by Prius made me shudder a bit since I didn't know that the situation in the Southern Plains would be that great for the new adventurers to face.
Little did I realise that the lives of the members including our children would be placed in jeopardy since I haven't even venture far inside The Wastelands nor even close to the Southern Plains.
Even my last trip there didn't even have much impact for me to grind anything useful. ”Is Level 5 adventurers able to handle the monsters there at all? I mean the beast would still be alright, right? Tell me more about the secrets of the Southern Plains and The Wasteland.” I implored to Prius as he opened up his notepad that contained all the secrets and information he had collected so far during his childhood.
”Based on the information that I had gathered when I was young and when my father and brothers were still alive, the beasts that they encounter would be Common Rank. Unlike the Northern Forest, only the trolls and goblins would prove to be troublesome and not a threat to vanquish.” Prius spoke up after he had made several comparisons on his notepad.
”The beasts in Southern Plains would be equal level to that of the members, and they have 3 kinds of immunity which is Fire, Frost and Poison. The monsters, however, are immune to binding spells and magical spells on top of the 3 that I had mentioned.”
”There are 5 types of beasts and monsters and they come in the category as such: Common Rank, Elite Rank, Super Elite Rank, Chieftain Rank and Lord Rank. If the members are Level 5, then they would be facing level 5 beasts and monsters.”
”However, their HP would be from 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k and 100k. For example, the wild boars on the Northern Plain are all 500 HP and could be dealt with 2 or 3 bolts. However, if one faces an Elite Rank the only significance would be their size, their HP and their aggressiveness. Furthermore, there would be a runic marking on the sides of their bodies or even their foreheads.”
”That's the only distinguishing mark on their upper echelons based on their strengths and aggressiveness and these beasts and misters have at least 2 power skills and up to 5 at most. Each power skills would be in effect when their HP drops to a certain level or they enter a Rage mode.”
”I hope that whatever information that I had given you would make you aware of the dangers that lurk in the South. Moreover, you had been in the outskirts and been there like an hour or so, which means you had not even scratched the surface of it.”
”There are at least 5 dungeons and 10 respawn points for the Bosses out there and the only way for you is to be an overwatch for the members.”
I pondered a while after Prius had finished speaking and I decided to go and have a look there to ensure that the members are handling the situation well. There is no point to pursue the Quests if the situation is out of hand and dangerous. Safety is more important and I decided to leave right after.
”Thanks for the tips, brother. I think I would better off leave now and forgo the lunch and all. I would be back shortly after.” I explained to Prius and would be pulling them out of the situation is too dangerous and hard for them to complete the Quests.
”Alright Audemars, God Speed and take good care of yourself. I would be manning the operations here as usual and awaiting your return. Bring Pat along with you, she may be an assistance to you when the need arises.” Prius advised and I quickly summoned Patricia and we both got into our battle gear.
Instead of bringing the light crossbow with me, I took an Assassin's compact crossbow instead and would be using it on my sub arm and my Victory claymore on my master arm. Before I left I reminded the interns in the kitchen to proceed what they were supposed to do as Patricia and I went out from the Castle grounds and headed South.
....
”This place hasn't changed a bit. The only difference is the addition to The Wastelands where your last battle took place. Do you happen to recall anything at this moment?” Patricia implored as I seemed to look right far away in the great distance.
”Not really dear, we got to find our children and the rest of the members first. We meet here in this boulder here in the Plains. I don't see any of the members in the Southern District so I'd guess they are all over this place right now.” I beckoned as we split up and search for the rest of the members and assemble them over to the spot that I had pointed to.
A little while later as I walked among the Plains, I heard some rustling and when I turn around I saw Jane and Ingles were hiding in the shadows and bushes as they were observing the Desert War Bears in the distance.
”Hey guys, how are you been doing?” I greeted Ingles and Jane and they both looked up in surprise and ran towards us and hugged us as they had never seen us for months.
