118 The Girl in the Black Dress (1/2)

-Deeper Part of Crystal Cave-

We went deep inside the cave where we heard a loud roar of something unexplainable, brings a shiver to the spine.

”At this point, we have to crawl and don't make a noise, ok?” Scy suggested. I have a bad feeling about this.

Of course, we crawled because he said it. For some reason, they really trust him and just do whatever he says. As we crawl farther, we can see now see a bigger gem that's really tall. Is that some kind of...

*FLAAAAAAAAAP!* Holy crap! The giant gem broke in half and became wings exposing the body of a dragon! It's a dragon made out of gem... I almost shouted because of being surprised!

As I look at them. their faces changed into a worried look. Do they have a terrible experience here?! That giant gem dragon is really magnificent and beautiful though. The dragon eats the gemstones besides him. But what if the gems ran out?

After a while, Scy signaled to go back.

”WOOOH! That scared me!” I let out a sigh with full of exhaustion. Being nervous while checking the monster sapped the energy out of me.

”You should be. It is a World Boss.” World Boss? What's a World Boss? Then why did you bring us there, Scy?

”World Boss is the strongest type of Boss. If you want to defeat one, better bring a thousand players to defeat it.” Well, that's really something!

”So the invasion that will come requires a thousand players, right?” Leion asked.

”I'm not entirely sure. If it's a World Boss, a thousand would be enough but what if it's not alone? What if it has an army? It will be an invasion and not just a single one so that means it would bring a lot of his lackeys.” Akko's right.

”We've been visiting some places lately to check if there are any abnormalities but thankfully there are none so far. Anyway, it's time to log out now. It's already 6 am in the morning so I have to make breakfast. See you later guys.” He said his goodbye. So that means every six am, they log out of the game. I need to have some breakfast too.

-Hospital-

And because I don't have much to do, I went back to the game but...

”Hey there! You're early.” Only Scy and Leion are missing. Don't they have anything to do?

”Hello. I'm surprised that you guys are already here.”

”Yeah, we don't have much to do so we just play too much. Anyway, it's Elou's turn now to look for a recruit. How about you go with him?” Are you serious Miss Akko? With this guy, really?

”Of course, but is it ok with Mr. Elou?” I replied trying to find a reason not to go with him.

”What are you talking about? You're part of the family now. And just call me Elou, will you?” Well, do I have a choice?

”Sure, Elou...” Jeez.

”Alright then. Let's go!” He excitedly said. I should probably wait for a little before logging in early...

-Outside of Crystal Cave-

We went outside but we haven't moved out yet.

”Let's see... Akko already went to Green Leaf village and Beginner's Area and Lili to the Vanguards Stronghold. So where should I go next, oh I'll just go to the simple village near here.” Simple village? Really? Who thought of these names...

Unlike Miss Akko, Both Lili and Elou don't have that flying move so we just walked towards the village he talked about. It's pretty far and kind of tiring. It's good exercise for my legs.

-Simple Village's Inn-

”Here we are. Not as fancy as the other places but the food here is really good and the innkeeper is as beautiful as an angel. Let's go inside.” We stopped at an old-looking inn. He really likes girls huh... As the village name describes, it's really a simple village.

”Welcome Elou, where are the others?” He wasn't kidding at all! Isn't she a bit too beautiful for an innkeeper?

”Hello Emily, they are just preparing for something and it's my turn to look for recruits.” while he is sitting on one of the chairs near the girl.
