After the battle against 200 ogres, they headed to where the dungeon boss was located, the third floor and the last floor of the Ogre Dungeon.
"There it is, Ogre Champion."
<Ogre Champion lv 35>
Health: 40000/40000
"Do you want to take it down by yourself too, Mr. Ogre Slayer?" said Accurate.
"I'm tired after fighting 200 ogres, so I'll pass. And please don't call me that," Zyou replied, he was still panting even though 5 minutes has passed after his fight. 'I never had been this tired before. Raises the pain sense to 70%, it really feels different.'
Ex World Persona has a feature called 'Sense of pain'. This feature allows players to feel the sensation of pain if they have taken damage from enemies whether it's PVP or PVE. Some players may not use this feature because they didn't want to feel pain in the game and thought that this feature is useless.
But, they just don't know how useful this feature is. Sense of pain will help the player especially the newbies to know the state of his body like if they took too much damage, their body eventually will be worn out because of the damage it has taken. If it comes to this, they will get an abnormal status like exhausted, bleeding, or even worst they will get paralyzed. Except they have high stats for CON, then it's okay if they didn't turn on their sense of pain because players with high CON will be able to resist it.
Though, there are top rankers who still use the sense of pain because it will help them to analyze their weakness especially for rankers who have melee DPS classes like fighters.
'I respect every player with the class of fighter or something similar to it,' thought Zyou.
"Well, you look like someone who is about to die. Okay then, leave this boss to me!" Accurate looked at Nia, "Let me do this by myself, I want to show off my skill to the newbie."
'Who you are calling a newbie?!'
"Sure, it's faster if you handle it," Nia replied.
"I don't mind, it's just like the leader said," said Fotia playing with her hair.
"Okay, sankyu!"
Accurate approached the boss, as soon as their distance was getting closer. The Ogre Champion whose tall was 2 and a half meters attacked Accurate, it smashed the floor with a dull weapon where Accurate was standing.
"Foolish human! How dare you challenging me!" said the Ogre Champion.
"Why not? It's not the first time I kill you, so why are you always spouted that line? I'm sad because you didn't remember me."
Grrrraaaaaaa!
The Ogre Champion kept swinging his weapon, meanwhile Accurate dodged all his attacks.
"Woah! I even memorized all of your attacks, so I can dodge all of it without any effort, haha!"
The Ogre Champion paused his attack and prepared for the next attack, it swung its weapon vertically from the top and smashed the floor. But, Accurate dodged it again by jumping to the back and countered.
Accurate pulled his bow after he dodged the Ogre Champion [Vertical Slash] then shot an arrow hitting his right eye.
"Kuaaaaaaak...!!!" the Ogre Champion was screaming in pain.
"Oops! That looks hurt! Here, one more for you left eye!" Accurate shot another arrow.
The arrow hit the boss left eye this time. "Kuaaaaaaaakk....!!"
"That hurt, right? Do you want me to end your suffering ASAP?"
"Guhhh!" the Ogre Champion pulled out the arrows in his eyes. "Gaaaaahhh!!"
pant... pant.... pant...
The blinded ogre charged forward, but it was not the direction where Accurate was standing. Shortly after, the blinded ogre hit the wall.
"Did you have a grudge against the wall?"
The blinded ogre looked in the direction of the sound, and this time he charged in the right direction where Accurate was. He jumped over it then took aim while he was in the air, "I will end this for you."
"[Charged Shot]!"
He let go of the bowstring then the arrow he shot flew quickly and pierced the head of the Ogre Champion. He landed on a roll and immediately stood up, meanwhile the ogre champion fell to the ground headless.
"Phew! How was it? Amazing, right?" Accurate looked at where his party members were watching.
"Yeah, I didn't expect an archer can fighting like that."
"It's because there's none who can fight as an archer like me," his face went smug.
'The only player I know who can fight that way with a bow and arrow is Dave. I honestly didn't expect there's someone other than him who can do that too. Moreover, this guy is not a ranker,' thought Zyou.
They leave the dungeon. It has already 2 hours since they entered the dungeon, and within that time they got a total of 1M exp. Actually, it can be cleared in under an hour if they don't bother to kill all of the mobs in the dungeon. Because for newbies, they entered the dungeon weren't after the exps but they were looking for loots from clearing the dungeon within the allotted time, the faster they clear it, the better the reward. That's why there is a limit to enter the same dungeon in a week.
"Thanks for the carry!" Zyou said.
"No problem, we're also got the exps for the Pearl Of Gluttony," Nia smiled.
"Well, I want to continue farming for exps...."
"Wait!"
Nia held Zyou's hand, "Can you come with us first? I want to upgrade my party leader rank since it has already reached the max points."
"Hmm, sure."
'I wonder if my party rank is reset or not as it happened with my level,' Zyou thought.
Thus, they went to Illumina to get Nia's leader party upgraded.
Every player had a leader party rank. The higher their leader party rank, the bigger the party is. The rank is divided into 6 ranks, wood, stone, bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. The wood rank party has 4 slots included the party leader meanwhile, the diamond rank party has 64 slots.
But, well, players below level 70 can't have their leader party rank upgraded because the requirement for it is level-based. From level 70, a player can upgrade their leader party rank to wood-stone. Level 140 for bronze-silver, level 200 for gold rank, and lastly level 300 for the diamond rank party. Since the highest player level currently is at level 205, there's no player with leader party rank diamond.
Illumina, Draceo Alliance Reception...
"The cost for leader party rank advancement from wood to stone is 500 golds and a qualification pass," said the NPC.
Other than the level requirement for upgrades to the leader party rank. Players need to pay an amount of gold depending on the rank, a qualification pass, an item with a low drop chance found at the Midas Tower, and the party needs to be full.
"Here." Nia put a bag of 500 gold coins and a piece of paper on the table.
"Thank you, this is your new leader party badge."
"Congrats! Now we can have 8 people for the party!" said Accurate excitedly.
"And a bonus +5% exp gained if the party is full," Fotia smiled a little.
Nia was just smiled then she looked at Zyou, "Say, do you want to become a part of The Walking Fortress?"
"Eh? Hmm, I'm a part of my friend's party..."
Nia's smile faded away when heard that.
"But, I'll be looking for you after I talk about this with my friend. I think it's better and fun to be in the same party with a growing player like you guys than top ranker's party, right?"
Nia's expression is back, her cute smile like that one little sister when her brother agreed to her request.
