Bab 157: Cleo's advance

"Speedy Gonzales," Cleo whispered as soon as she entered the next floor of the dungeon. "Roadkill," she then shouted out loud, rushing ahead. 

"This moron..." Marvin muttered, covering his face with his hand. "Why not let me cast some buffs on her first," he complained, shaking his head. 

"This is her first real fight," Tom replied with a smile. "Give her some room to have fun," he added before shaking the spear in his hand. "Don't worry, though. I'm watching over you two."

"If you say so," Marvin spoke in a muffled voice before finally picking up the pace and going ahead. 

For the first several minutes, the two of them saw nothing but squashed corpses of monsters slowly disintegrating on the dungeon's floor. 

"Whenever I see it, I'm salty about her getting the strong skills instead of me," Marvin admitted, casting a look at the flattened body of a relatively small orc.
