114 Chapter 7: Hunters, Sang’s Party (1/2)
Jinn was talking non-stop to the pair who were still ignoring them, till it was apparent that it was not working.
”You really can't take a hint,” Tae said.
”I grew up without having to, haha,” Jinn said, and the scratched his head ”Mm…. I am tense though,” and then he looked at Peony ”But some encouraging words from the pretty lady would help” he smiled
”Not a chance in hell,” she wrote
”Ahh! She can't talk” he said to Tae before backing off because of Tae glare. ”But you guys know isn't this place a little too big for a C-rank gate.” He pressed on.
”Over here” The party's leader, Sang said stopped the party while the wizard of the party made light so everyone can see.
”I wonder when we will encounter the magic beats” some party member had said.
”Do you think there are dungeons without Magic beats” Said Jinn to Tae.
”They just haven't come yet.”
It was strange wasn't its normal dungeons would have glowing rocks to lead the way. Tae looked at Peony and she wrote.
”Dungeons change depending on the boss. This Dungeon is dark because the boss may be a nocturnal creature.”
”Really” Jinn read what she wrote, Peony nodded her head, and she wrote again.
”What lives and moves in the dark are attracted to the light? Right” Tae said almost exactly what she wrote.
”You guys sure are a pair,” Jinn said as she saw a little moment happen between them.
”Bugs”
”It's Bugs
”Fuck, why of all the things, bugs.”
The party members soon began to shout as numerous critters where heading their way from the tunnels ahead.
”It's an ant's nest,” Tae said
”Don't say something like that” Jinn said
Of the many types of magic beats, insect types were particularly troublesome. They were hard to kill, they traveled in groups like a pack of wolves and on top of that each one had a right amount of power. But, they were against Ants, and they were the worst of the worst.
Giant ants were coming from the ceiling with some falling.
”Shoot! Shoot them down!”
Arrows and magic spell flew at both the ground and ceiling.
Jinn used a taunting skill to the ones closer by Tae and Peony who were watching the battle play out and assessing the team. Peony more so as if she knew they were up to no good.
”Over here, You insect!” Jinn said as he fought some off. His shield blocked every one of their attacks. Even with their claws, the bugs were not able to get through the protection.
The cries of the ants rang forth here and there. Tae wanted to tell Jinn that he didn't have to fight as it was part of the raid agreement not too, but, decided not to when he saw how driven he was to protect them.
”At least he means well” Tae said to Peony shrugged her shoulders. Jinn turned a meet their gaze and then held up his thumb.
”….”
The battle was at its end. So, the party clean up the remaining magic beats as told by their party leader.
”Grab all the magic cores! We'll be dividing it up Nine ways.”
”Yessir”
”This is my favorite part.”
”Me too.”
The leader walked over to the three tag-a-longs he brought when his party was finished picking up the magic cores.
”Here is your share” he said handing the bags to them.
”NO thanks,” Tae said ”We don't need a spare the money is just fine” Tae spoke for himself and Peony.
”I don't need it either” Jinn said.
The party leader eyed Peony and paused for a moment. ”Ah! Yeah, that's fine” Sang said before he walked to party members.
”Hey, split these up too” he yelled.
”Hey boss they”
”yeah” Sang turned around ”What Is it,” she said after seeing three of his buddies crowding around some ant corpses.
”There's something off about this.e guys”
”What's off about them.”
They pointed at the leg of one of the corpses, which showed that its leg had been torn off and then another on which's head looks to be bitten off an then to the finally one with its wing torn off.
”I don't think these wounds are f.rom us.”
”Yeah, it looks like this was before they fought us”
