Chapter 289 - Arena Duel (1) (1/2)

Finally, the group came out of the Dark Cave. It was such a long journey inside the Dark Cave. Although they were missing some original crew inside the Dark Cave, most of them were coming out alive.

As a mercenary group, facing casualties in their journey was a common thing. Moreover, the one who died was not one of their original members. There was no mourning procession to comfort the deceased. It was such a cruel world. But that was how it worked.

There was still a long way for the group to arrive at their destinations. Going through Dark Cave was only one-third of their journey.

It only took them one hour before they arrived in the nearby town. Smilden was a town where many players gathered here. There were two reasons. First, it was the Dark Cave. Although it was a difficult place to hunt, Dark Cave was one of the popular hunting spots.

It was because Dark Cave's monster was slightly under level 300. When a monster had a level over 300 and above, their health would rise significantly. So, above level 300, it was rare to find a solo player going hunting because it was not worth the effort.

The second reason was that Smilden had an arena duel. The arena duel was managed by the kingdom, and it used to lure the talent throughout the kingdom. The one that was in Smilden was one of the arena's duel's branches.

”We will take a rest in this town for one day!” The guard's leader said to his group's members.

”Take a rest and don't cause any unnecessary ruckus here. Tomorrow morning, we will gather by the gate. Don't be late!” The guard's leader reminded the members.

It was such a generous group. They had paid all of the inns here. Auron thought that this mission must be worth a lot for the group wanted to pay all of the inn's expenses.

The group arrived at Smilden in the morning. They had almost a full 24 hours to stay in this town. With that said, All of the group's members went on their own destination. The guard's leader and his gang moved out together and went to the nearby bar.

Meanwhile, Auron's first destination was the weapon store. He wished that he could find a weapon that was good and cheap. However, to find such a thing was not easy.

After circling around the town, Auron could not find what he was looking, Right now, Auron was in front of the inn. He was thinking about what to do.

Auron could not find anything that piqued his interest in the town except the arena duel. In the end, he decided to visit the arena duel. After all, the arena duel was one of the places that he had to go in the future.

Several minutes later, Auron arrived in front of a vast building with a lot of people around the area. Except for participating in the arena, players could make a bet in the arena's fight. So, a lot of gamblers also visit the arena to gamble.

Arena duel was one of a place that a player must register. The reason was that there was a ranking in the arena. The higher a player climbed the ranking, the famous would he be in this kingdom.

When one had arrived at the higher ranking, many offers would come to them, such as a quest or present from the town or city. There was even some real-life company that could use them as a brand ambassador.
