Bell evaded another barrage of tongues assaults to his not so fit body, dodging them right and left, some would think Bell would eventually bore from those guys shooting their tongue at him, and they would right!
Even after 3 hours of fighting, they never stopped attacking the teen, making him quite grumpy, "You only have one trick?!" he said while slaughtering some unfortunate frog, this pattern bored the hell out of him, the best evidence is that he barely got any LP after the launch break, making him somehow frustrated...
Killing another monster with using their momentum, Bell sighed and clean his dagger, and said to himself:"this frogs made me wants to puke, their saliva is disgusting.", jumping in the air, the flying tongue missed him,"Can't you stop spitting for a moment?!" his answer was another tongue to his face
"I should have known" he shook his head, and eliminate the rest of the frogs, soon after he sighs,"I should advance now." Bell let his guard down for a bit, he waited for a dozen seconds, and he felt it
*WHOOSH!* A sound of a slight wind, rushing to his location with a speed that his skill [sense] can't catch
Bell, who was none the wiser, felt the pressure of the personal attack, and smirked, "You have finally showed up!" bell said to the upcoming attacker, the war shadow
Standing on its two legs, with knife like claws and humanoid black figure, the war shadow unleashed his 'surprise' attack at the white haired teen, Bell with sharped battle instinct from his first dive, avoiding swiftly, and attacked the figure with his own dagger!
Unlike the frog, the war shadow has hands to block attacks, and that is what it did, the dagger and claws clashed, created some sparks, Bell used the chance to land a dropkick on the monster, pushed it and creates some distance between the pair.
*FOOH*
Bell released a breath he was holding, and grinned, "That what was I talked about!", the war shadow however didn't have the fighting spirit that bell had, as it silently rushed towards him, and began a hit-and-run fighting style, as bell's dagger isn't enough to the break the monster's hard claws.
"I need to create an opening." Bell said to himself, while parrying constantly, 'hey! Show me something useful!' Bell opened the skill suggestions, because he isn't in the right mood to think of creating a skill.
Bell hurriedly looked for a fitting skill, his gaze filled on something,'this might work!' Bell smiled and created the skill mentally.
He dodged another fatal attack, and kicked the war shadow away, Bell created some distance, and glared at the monster provokingly
And the monster, despite being the slight type, rushing to him as being provoked, Bell used the time to aim his knife at the monster head
he puts his all strength in his right hand, and accurately throw the dagger at the monster head,
*CLANG!*
Despite having a great momentum, the knife still couldn't break through the claw's defense and was reflected somewhere else, Bell with no weapon with him to defend himself, didn't panic, he left his fists to defend himself, his gauntlet should protect him for enough time.
The war shadow, thinking it won, increased his pace of attack a notch, making Bell take more injuries on his body, 'not yet...not yet…' Bell looked at the thrown knife at from his eye's corner, and feigned a taking a hit
the monster thought it was hit chance, and immediately struck his falling prey, Bell gave an eat-shitting grin despite his dangerous position and said:"gotcha!"
The war shadow didn't know what its prey talking about, but immediately felt it, literally. A dagger can be seen out of its head, the war shadow didn't know how and when it died, Bell took his dagger from the monster. And while he at it, he took the monster core
[1000+ LP killing a monster with crappy equipment.]
"This skill isn't bad." Bell smiled and looked at the skill he created
[mark and chase, rank E, cost : 400 LP
description: put a mark on two item, the lighter object will rush toward the heavier one after gaining momentum previously]
the throw that Bell did gave the knife enough thirst to return to mark on the war shadow heads, who Bell put using the kick he previously landed on the monster
"Hmm?" he looked at his knife and saw a noticeable crack on it, "this thing is pretty much dead" bell shook his head and looked the now dust left upon removing the core,"oho? A drop item? That's rare!"
Bell looked at his item dropped,"Hm, a finger blade? Not bad." Bell was about to store it, and going home, since his dagger is almost broken, and repairing again might break it for good, but he thought of something
'This Blade finger as about the size as my dagger...what if?' Bell thought, 'But it doesn't have a handle, so it would be pretty hard to use it...' Bell shook his head and almost discard the idea...until he remembered he has a cheat!
[ding! Skill under generating!
Shape-shifting :ranked D cost: 3000 LP,
Description: use mind to shape-shift a specific item, can't change item's original material, mind consumption depends on the material type and the structure complexity, an unstable structure will destroy the material.
Upgrade skill to use to decrease mind's consumption
create Y/N?]
Bell almost jump seeing this skill, 'this skill, the most expensive so far that I'll create!' he didn't hesitate as the skill is too good not to create
[ding! Skill has created, LP : 521], Bell held the finger knife, and around his hand a faint blue light covered the item, and under his astonished eyes, the knife began to change its shape, Bell focused to make it similar to his normal dagger, and felt his mind drain like crazy!
'A level 1 surface level item can drain this much! How about other item!' Bell didn't fail to realize that this specific skill would put most blacksmith out of business if he abused it. So he understands that its drawback would be draining mind like no other skill, Bell immediately took a mind potion he bought yesterday
feeling the bitter taste, Bell sighed in relief and soon enough the final product was created, a pure black dagger, absorbing in light falling on it, 'this is much better than the garbage they gave adventurers at the start' Bell thought and bell with his new dagger a bit.
"Heh, and I have a chance to try you it!" Bell chuckled and immediately raised his hand, defending himself from another surprise attack, "You sure love to give people surprise attacks." the war shadow who sneaked at him didn't say anything and a launch another attack, but Bell now has the upper hand,
after gaining stats from the previous war shadow and having a better weapon, made the war shadow loses momentum, and after creating an opening, Bell slashed his dagger, breaking the monster guard and land a solid hit, not losing his rhyme, Bell landed another hit, killing at the spot, sadly no item for Bell this time
Bell wasn't discouraged and gutted the magic core, after a while another few war shadows attacked him, accompanied by a several shooting frogs, Bell didn't find hard them to kill them, using holding tongue tacit and facing war shadow normally. And this time another knife from the war shadow was dropped
"lucky!" Bell picked the finger, and this time he put some of the AE points into his MAG not have his mind into danger level, and created another identical dagger from the finger, now Bell was dual daggers like a certain angry viking blonde boy from the Middle Ages.
'Hehe, I like this' Bell thought as he advance forward, locating a very angry looking ant rushing into him.
"Killer int? I'm in the 7th floor already? I guess my mind was occupied." Bell shook his head at his blunder, but smiling in excitement to fight another monster, the ant headbutt its frontal claws into the white-haired teen, the daggers and claws clashed created a spark,
Bell pushed himself in the air, kicking the ant main body, making it wince in pain
*AKKGH*
the ant screamed in agony, the kick had the force behind it, using the opportunity, Bell made a double slash separating the ant's head from its body, killing it on the spot, Bell then sighed in relief, "Good I killed it quickly, killer ant pheromones' ability isn't easy to deal with."
....
Bell continued to fight those 3 type of monsters with different waves, he didn't advance too much into the 7th floor as he ill-equipped for those annoying monsters, he almost slipped and trigger the pheromones risky ability, while he liked the thrill of fighting dozens of ants solo, his body isn't likely to feel the same...
And so after a few hours, he looked the time which created a skill for which didn't cost many LPs, and concluded that it's enough for today and left the dungeon in happy tone.
Humming a relaxing tone, Bell left the dungeon quite satisfied at his harvest, the teen reached the guild headquarters and was greeted by his advisor doing some random paper works.
He called her causing her to focus on him, "Oh, Bell-kun you are back! How was your exploring the new floor? Did you face danger? You didn't over worked yourself, didn't you?" She bombed him with questions, and checking his body condition.
Bell smiled wryly at her overprotectiveness, but felt warm in his heart, as that she show that she cares about him.
Bell patted Eina shoulder softly, causing her to back off with some embarrassment, "cough, you seem in good shape, bell-kun, I can guess you did good in the dungeon."
Bell laughed lightly, "I did, can you calculate for me what I got?" he said vaguely and change the subject, it's not wise to discuss your worth publicly after all
"Sure thing." Eina took the Magic crystals bag, and put every piece in each category, "Ohh, Bell-kun you harvest pretty good! 30 kobolds, 30 goblins, 20 lizards, 15 frogs, 5 war shadow, and 5 killer ant." she counted everything he has, and after taking the taxes she gave him the amount, "here you go Bell-kun, 64280 valis."
"Not bad." Bell took the money and said, "Thank you, Eina." he smiled brightly, not used to be called by him so casually, Eina felt weird, but not in a bad way, as she can't quite explain it.
"Are you going to do now, Bell-kun?" The half-elf asked curiously
"I'm starving, so I'm thinking to pay Hostess of Fertility a visit." Bell answered with a hungry look, "Want to join me, Eina?" He asked with a smile
"Ahem, I'd love to, Bell-kun, but I'm still had work to do." Eina answered honestly
"I see, what a shame, let's go in another day, maybe Sunday's date?" Bell asked
"hm, Maybe..." Eina answered without thinking, but her face become red," it isn't a d-date!" she said with a stutter
"it isn't? My bad." Bell laughed and said goodbye to Eina, making her humphed in disbelief, "why did her agree with me, so easily?? He could have argued a bit..." Eina muttered to herself
"oya, what did you say, Eina-chan??" A pink haired girl teased
"M-misha, what are you doing here?" Eina asked as she saw her colleges, "You too, Rose?" she eyed the Redhead wolf
Rose shrugged, "we were going to do our break, and wanted to invite you, but I guess you were busy flirting."
"I wasn't flirting!" Eina said, embarrassed, causing Misha to giggle,"Are you sure? You were overly protective earlier," causing The half elf to purse her lips, "I can't help it, just look at him, and you would want to protect him" She justified and continue,"Besides he's too reckless, he even asked my permission to let him go to 6,7 floors" Eina said with a pout
"I mean, he is pretty cute"Misha said, "but you surely didn't give in the right? He barely there 2 weeks!" she asked in worry, she didn't want for a cute boy to die like that
"unfortunately, he has the qualifications." Eina shook her head, "Anyway, you said you were on break?"
"We are, but you aren't, you have paper work to finish." Rose said, causing Eina to fell on the chair with defeat
"I need a vacation...." Eina muttered and continue her work in agony, making Misha giggle and Rose smiles a bit...
....
"So this is Hostess of Fertility..." Bell looked at the opened door of the inn, noisy adventurers singing, Bards playing lively music, beautiful sensual waitress, giving the men wild fantasies what is under beneath
"that's remind of Richard world." Bell muttered, feeling a bit nostalgic, on the door, a waitress looked at him
"Oh! Mr adventurer from before! You came!" The waitress with silver hair asked with a smile
Bell looked at her with surprise, because her status looked different
[Name : Syr (Horn)
race: human
age : 18
nickname : Goddess's attendant
occupation : waitress
thought about you : interested/ curious/ a bit hostile]
'What the hell is going on??' Bell looked confused internally but didn't show it on his face, 'She was Freya from before, but now she is Horn?? Is she related Freya? It says here she is goddess's Attendant...it isn't a coincidence... I must be careful around her…'
"I am, did you already forget my name?" Bell asked with a smile, 'the important thing is to not let her know I figured out her secret.'
"Ah! No way, Bell-san took my breakfast today, I specifically remembered your name to hope you come her today!" Syr smiled lightly, "Please come in!"
"Oya? Are you Syr's friend?" a middle-aged tough looking woman who interpret their talking said with a grin, "Haha, any friend Syr is friend to me, of course that friend must have money, hahaha!"
"Mama Mia! Please don't intimidate Bell-san!" Syr said with a pout, causing Mia to laugh, "he's a man! What is there to be afraid of! Come on, come on! I'll give you a special meal! Hahahaha" She pulled Bell into the inn, and seated him on the bar seats
"here you go boy, cute adventurers like you needs to be filled up with energy!" she gave him a big dish of spaghetti, then without him ordering she gave a fish order he didn't asked for
This made Bell smiled wryly at her, "is she this pushy?" he asked Syr near him
Syr giggled, "hehe, Don't mind Mama Mia, she is like that were everybody, even us, she will warm up to you eventually."
"I can't wait." Bell said as he ate, enjoying the spaghetti soft texture, and rich flavor, seeing Bell enjoys his meal, Syr smiled brightly
"is that good, Bell-san?" Syr asked
"good doesn't cut it, Syr-san, your food is wonderful, I understand the high pricing, enjoying this food is definitely worth the cost." Bell answered sincerely, which made the smile on her face widen
"Very much appreciated, lad! Hahaha!" Mama Mia came from behind and give him his back a slap him chock
"cough ...cough..." Bell brought a nearby water and drank it like a man dying of thirst
"Hahaha, what an interesting lad, how about you quite adventuring and become a waiter here, I bet a lot of amazonian adventures who come her will be delighted to see a cute lad like you, Hahaha!"
Bell gave a look of disbelief at Mia,'I might be a playboy, but I'm definitely not a freaking gigolo!' Bell wanted to shoot that but decided against at to keep his dignity
while Bell and Syr were chatting, the door weee wide opened, "nyaaa, the people of the reservation has come, nyaaa!" a brunette catgirl said cheerily causing the inn to go silence
then a group of adventurers walks in, which made most of the people inside mutter in admiring and envy
"Loki Familia!"
.
.
"Sword princess!"
.
.
"Kyaa, Finn-sama is so cute!"
.
.
"Hm, the jade hair elf is as always so elegant."
In no time the place filled with muttering until the main redhead women in the front said joyly with closed eyes, "Hahahahaha! Come on, boys and girls! Let's celebrate! Our good harvest!" the flat redhead goddess, Loki said
Soon the lively atmosphere continue and was amplified by Loki Familia appearance, and the adventures continue to laugh and bards to sing
Bell wasn't so focus on the partying, but one particular girl, with along golden hair and eyes, but with Stoic look, with almost nothing that can phase her.
Bell looked at her and signed with admiration,'She definitely top class beauty...but something in her... looks off... maybe her status can help' he looked at her and activate appraisal
[Name : Ais Wallenstein
Race: human spirit hybrid
age : 16 (1000+)
occupation: Loki Familia adventurer
thought about you: slightly curious about your change]
'???' Her status has given him more questions than answer, 'Human spirit hybrid?? Are spirit real?? I must ask Hestia for information...and her age is even more confusing...' Bell knows that leveling up on will basically extend your lifespan, but he didn't believe that level 5 can reach that age...
'This situation became more and more mysterious... interesting...' Bell smirked to himself
Ais who felt someone stare at her looked at Bell direction, and her expressionless face become a bit surprised, Bell didn't know why she could feel him from afar, but he didn't back away, and give her a small hand wave with a smile
Ais wanted to wave back but was interpreted by rude wolf, "Haha! Ais! Ais! Tell them about that!" Bete said while drinking
"?" Ais looked confused, "about what?"
"You know! When you left us with catch that running Minotaur!" He said with mocking tone, "You guys should have seen that! Haha! A hairless down there brat thinking he is a big deal was roaming the 5th floor aimlessly"
"Yet from nowhere he was chased by that big cow like freaking rat! Hahaha and his hair become bloody like a tomato hahahaha!" Bete laughed his ass off at the situation, his teammates were laughing awkwardly wondering what is so funny about the situation
"Bete, stop it, he isn't the blame for that." Ais said wanting to defend on Bell
"huh?! Why are you even defending him, Ais! He such a pathetic brat who didn't even respond when I tried to provoke him! Hahaha! Probably he was so shocked her survived and answered us on the fly hahahaha!" Bete continue to laugh
"Bete stopped it, you are drunk!" The jade haired high elf said with scolding tone
"I bet he didn't respond to your provoking, because unlike you, he has more than 3 active braincells." The dwarf jabbed at the wolf demi-human causing the people on the table to laugh, even Ais smiled a bit
"what's wrong with you all, now you are too proud to make fun of dumb adventures?!" Bete hit the table with a scowl and looked at Ais,"Ais! If you were to chose between me and him, who would choose! If he asked you out now! Will you choose him?!"
Ais didn't answer as she stares blankly at him, Bete wasn't fazed and continued, "hahaha, of course you wouldn't! That newbie isn't worth even your clothes, hahahaha! He will never be an equal to you!"
"Bete that's enough!" Riveria give him a threatening look, causing him to flinch
"tch, whatever, it's not like he is here anyway." Bete complained but looked at certain direction were Ais were previously looking and said, "Ahahaha! he is here! Tomato head brat!" he pointed hia fingers at Bell who was eating and chatting with the previous catgirl
Bell who is now the center of attention looked to Riveria direction and said, "Hey, miss Jade beauty, I thought you put the leash on your dog,and won't bark anymore, yet he still barking, why is that?"
and suddenly the inn was Dead silent....
