The story starts with the introduction of the heavy KN class which specialized in defense however when compared to all other defensive classes this one wasn't as versatile and therefore people frowned upon it and to make the matter even worse the attack stats were also very low which made leveling up a hell some would argue that that was the worst class that ever existed and with that said we can start with our story and I Think you see where this is going now we see our main prote is having a flashback about how he always felt
that everything was familiar to him while he learned new information as a child he had that flashback on the day of the divine blessing ceremony when he was about to receive his baptism and find out his class boy oh boy he's in for a treat so our protagonist was the heir of the Advent family and his name was Elma and to him the ceremony itself felt rather Familiar and it seemed like he had been through the whole thing before even though that was his first and only time being baptized his father the head of the
Edan family encouraged him and said that he would receive a powerful glass because he was his son after all and while the priest was conducting the baptism process Elma couldn't shake off the feeling that he had experienced that before and his memory goes back even to the time when he wasn't even born Elma Having that strange familiar feeling hoped that he would obtain the heavy KN class and that was indeed what happened Elma was happy and he hurried to notify his father about his class but seeing the look on his father's face made him question
his enthusiasm his father was Furious but he pretended that Elma said that he became a sword Saint which was deemed as the most powerful class it was only then that Elma realized that what felt familiar to him were the memories Of his previous life and that in this world classes which were easy to master were valued and the ones that required skill and effort were considered bad Elma thought that the evaluation system was broken but that didn't matter to his father he came up to Elma and took his hand by force to check the status
menu to see his class he was filled with rage and shouted at Elma for becoming a heavy Knight and he added how it was the worst class out there because his stats were All low and he didn't even have a single attacking skill Elma tried to say that his defensive stats are topnotch but his father smacked him across the face and said that he couldn't care less about his defense come on bro we need tanks in this world nobody want to play a tank now he added how he was happy that the ceremony wasn't performed
publicly and while he was showing his disgust with his son a girl in high heels walked towards them she came in front of Everyone and informed them that her divine blessing ceremony should take place that same day as well her name was Maris and she belonged to a branch family of the advant household and Elma remembered how they used to play together when they were kids Bros I swear the these names are so confusing to me Elma is a girl's name in my native language and Maris is a boy's name and here we have it
Opposite it's it's messing me up man now anyways elma's Father said that it would be okay to have her baptized as well but Elma had a bad bad feeling about it she of course got the sword sa class and she immediately started looking down on Elma and as Elma had expected his father immediately cheered up and told Maris that she would become his daughter and his next successor Mary loved every single bit of attention that she was getting but she tried to play innocent by saying how she thought that Elma was The next successor and
that was when his father exploded with anger once again he told Elma that he was a disgrace to the Advent family for having gotten the heavy night class and when Elma tried to stand up for himself his father cut him off I mean bro it's not like he could choose and he made a wrong choice what the heck man now he even disowned him and kic Ked him out on the streets and forbade him from ever using the Advent name on the streets and without even Listening to Elma his father took off together with Maris
and Elma was kicked on the streets with just his belongings the very next morning Elma woke up in an in and he was furious at his father for having kicked him out and made him start his life from a zero but despite all that that happened Elma was still happy that he had become a heavy Knight it seemed that elma's Dayja feelings were related to a game he used to play but the city of Ron Del was clearly Different from the one he was used to Elma would need to explore everything once again but before
anything he wanted to check whether his class was still the same like how he remembered it and when he opened the status menu he was delighted to see that everything was just how he wanted it to be Elma explained the system skill tree it was basically the same like in any other game and the only difference was that in that world classes had a spefic specific Skill Tree on top of the one that was accessible to every other class and the only skill that was class specific that Elma had was the vow of the heavy
armor skill which was actually considered to be very bad because it was too difficult to master the other two skills that Elma could have spent his five remaining skill points on which he got from the baptism were increased defense skill and Novi swordsmanship which increased the defensive and attacking stats Respectively however Elma decided to spend all all of his skill points to upgrade his class specific skill and by doing so his defense went up by 10 points and he even acquired a new skill called ramper return rampit return I don't know for some reason I
feel like it's pronounced rampit return but it has r in it I'm not sure help a brother out tell me down in the comments below how do you pronounce r a m p a r t ramper or rampit anyways Elma immediately went out In the woods and we can see that his equipment was poor and he had a soldier sword and some iron armor as soon as he got there he encountered a frog which was actually a demon monster called L Elma knew its stats and the Frog immediately attacked him the moment it saw him
elen was surprised by the sudden attack but he didn't flin nor move he just stood where he was as soon as the frog made impact with his armor it was sent flying back and that was enough to Kill it killing the Frog increased elma's level to two and he was able to do it because of his ramp at return skill that blocked off any attacks and redirected them back to the enemy however that was only possible when elma's defensive stats were higher than the enemy's attacking stats the Frog disintegrated and he dropped a level two
Mana Stone which Elma decided to keep even though it wasn't very valuable Elma heard a voice and it seemed that someone Was screaming for help a scared Adventurer was running towards Elma and it seemed that an army of Lanas were after him Elma stood in front of the scared Adventurer and the guy thought that Elma might have been someone very strong after he saw the way he was dressed but Elma had to disappoint him by saying that he had just leveled up for the very first time ever and that made the guy even more disheartened
because he thought that even he himself Was stronger than Elma the guy closed his eyes as the Frog slapped on Elma but Elma just to there like a boss he hadn't moved an inch and the frogs were all killed and their dead dead bodies had bounced off of his armor when the guy opened his eyes and saw all the dead Lanas he asked Elma who he was and instead of saying he was from the Advent household Elma introduced himself as Elma The Heavy Knight after defeating all of those Lanas Elma got the Unshakable title he
checked his status menu once again and it really seemed that the whole system was exactly like how he remembered it the scared guy from earlier stood up and introduced himself as a he went on to say how he came from a small village and he was left out on his own because no one wanted to party with him because they thought that he was too weak he thanked Elma but Elma told him that he would keep all the Mana stones For himself and there was no reason to thank him Aries had a proposition he thought
that when they go back to the town Elma and him could join the party because elma's defensive stats were great and on top of that the best way of defensive classes to level up was that they work together with others Elma wasn't thinking of teaming up with anyone though and he had to decline his offer which didn't make sense to Aries the reason why Elma didn't want to enter A party was that larger parties meant that the experience would be shared between all the members and that would make his journey a longer one what he
wanted was to earn as much items and skills as he possibly could but he was also aware of the fact that doing everything on his own would be almost impossible Aries tried to talk some sense to Elma to persuade him to team up with others but as he was talking Elma sensed something right behind Aries a Huge spider jumped from the bushes and attacked him if Aries hadn't jumped to the side he would have been dead as the spider attacked him with one of his clothed legs Aries was happy that he was still alive but
they had to deal with that demon spider now it's full name was Aranda ape and it was twice the level of Elma Elma realized that the monster was smart as it had the skill to move silently and on top of that its attacking skills were a poison that Restricted movement and fire claw which was its main weapon Elma realized that his return rampid skill would be useless because the monster was way stronger than him and if he was to get hit even once it would be all over aies stood up and said that it was
his fault that they were in that situation that they were in and he felt like he needed to take responsibility for his actions but Elma knew that he was scared to death so he told him that everything would be all Right and that he would take care of the giant spider monster Aries warned Elma that this wasn't a game and that he could die if he gets pierced by the spider's claw and he added how the monster was too strong for him to handle but Elma just opened his status menu and as he had 28
skill points from all the Lanas he killed he used all of them to improve his vow of the heavy armor skill and when he did that he got just the skill he needed in order to defeat the Arenda ape that skill was called heym and what it did was that it lowered the attacking stats of any enemy for a short period of time it lasted just for a minute but it lowered the monster's attack by 20% ELO was now ready to take on the monster and he waited for it to attack and he loved the
adrenaline that his heavy night class brought with him it was very difficult and risky but that made rewards greater as well so the monster screeched out very loudly and Started attacking but Elma could Dodge its attack because he could remember the monster's attacking pattern however Elma knew that it wouldn't be easy the spider anchored itself and started channeling a spell it took it some time but when it was ready it fired off a beam of spider we directly at Elma who just took a defensive stance and took the shot head on Elma was completely covered
in spiderweb but he was able to make it all go away with just one swing of his sword And he also inflicted some damage to the demon spider as well the damage was minimal because the spider spell also reduced some of elma's attacking stats the demon spider didn't like that he took damage from Elma and that sent him into rage he got up on his back legs and raised his clothes and he was getting ready for a powerful attack the spider Unleashed a barrage of attacks on Elma and Aries was worried that that might be
it for him his fellow Adventurer but as Soon as the smoke from the attacks had disappeared a saw that Elma was still Standing Tall Elma knew that the spider was O out of Mana because it only had 11 Mana points and the spider web skill it just used required seven Mana points and its flame close required five Mana points Elma knew that that was his chance to attack and that's exactly what he did Elma took some time to take everything that happened into account he inflicted two blow to the monster his Heym spell was still
working but it was slowly wearing off and the spider's attack was reduced by 10% now but there was one more thing that Elma needed to take into consideration for the calculations he was doing and that was that he gained the 40% increase in all defensive stats while he stood still and that was the effect of the immovable title he had acquired having said that he was happy with all the conditions and he ran to create some distance between Him and the demon spider when he thought that he ran enough Elma turned around and took a
defensive stance and proceeded to remain still as he waited for the monster to attack him when the monster's attack made impact with Elma his returned rampid skill had activated and to the demon spider it felt like it attacked a fortified castle that's what stunned the demon monster and Elma went to kill it off with his sword when he finally killed it he obtained four skill Points and he immediately went to check his status menu but when he opened it there was nothing special for him to see there was one more thing that Elma wanted to
check and when he wiped his status window he saw one special spec which only said heavy but he couldn't investigate what it meant because AIS was running towards him Elmo was happy that he unlocked all the basic skills for his class and AIS couldn't believe what Elma just managed to do and while He was shocked Elma thought to himself that he would indeed be able to to defeat any monster on his own and as he crouched down to pick up the large Mana stone that was dropped by the demon spider Elma started feeling a bit
dizzy it seemed that the demon spider had released some type of poison and because of that Elma had to ask aies to help him back into the town when Elma recovered from the poison he went to the adventurer's guild to register himself As an adventurer he went inside and stated his name and level and the receptionist having confirmed his class stamped his ID card and Elma was finally officially an adventurer he explained how there was a total of seven ranks of adventurers and he was currently ranked F why that was important was the fact that
there was a limit to how much one could upgrade his skills and that meant that Elma would need to become an e- rank Adventurer as soon as he possibly Could Elma took out a bag that was filled with Mana stones but before he could give it to the receptionist to inspect them other adventurers that were there starting Ed making fun of him they said how no one wanted to work with a low-level heavy night class and the whole adventurers Guild started to laugh the receptionist didn't know what to say but Elma wasn't moved by their
words he just confirmed that there weren't many heavy night adventurers and that he Would remain a solo Adventurer for the time being he finally emptied the contents from his bag and the first thing that the receptionist asked him was whether he had been hunting all by himself and Elma said that that that was true he gathered all of the Mana Stones by himself and he wanted them inspected as soon as possible the adventurers that made fun of Elma just moments ago thought that he must have tricked someone to steal their Mana Stones Either that or
the only other explanation they could come up with was that Elma was somehow cheating but Elma couldn't care about what they thought as the receptionist had finished inspecting the Mana stones and he had been paid a lot of money making it so he was now registered and settled for a while and that made the other adventurers angry they couldn't stand the fact that a heavy night class Adventurer had managed to gain that much Money in such a short amount of time Elma had one more question for the receptionist and he asked her whether there were
any available Quests for his promotion to rank e the receptionist took a look at the list of available quests and even though she saw quite a few of them she didn't think any of them were suitable for Elma current level but that was all he needed to know and he took one of the quests and made his way to the site Elma made his way to a Graveyard and when he got there he saw that he wasn't the only one that wanted to take the promotion Quest the place was filled with all sorts of adventurers
and they all seemed to be listening to one person that was in charge the first thing that the bearded guy said was that there were many adventurers Whose actions were very silly and that they hadn't thought them through and he even turned to Elma to tell him that he was one of them the bearded guy also thought That Elma was a fraud that tried to make his way up the ranks by using all sorts of tricks and he refused to believe that Elma was able to beat an Aranda ape all by himself he wanted to
beat him up for that but Elma just stood there without flinching Elma hated the fact that no one believed him but he knew that how he reacted to those words would affect the outcome of whether he would be accepted to take part in the promotion Quest or not so he decided to act humble he Begged the bearded guy to accept him and even though he wasn't actually happy with that he chose to give Elma chance his name was Mr gam I swear this manga and the names in it g Au t a m how do
you pronounce this how do you anyways his name was Mr gilam and he immediately ordered his subordinate called tail to start with the scouting tail used her scouting spell and she immediately sensed a swarm of 30 demon monsters coming their way gam congratulated her And she jokingly asked him to promote her to a higher rank but when T noticed Elma she told him how she had heard everything that happened at the guild and that's why she was interested in him Elma inspected her outfit and from the looks of it he deducted that she was probably
a red magician red magicians excelled in all sorts of magic and they were the most versatile magician class that existed Ed tail also added that even though there was all that Fame Surround in elma's huge Mana stone hall she felt pity for him for having heavy night as his class Elma defended his class and said how he liked it but tale wasn't particularly impressed and just told him not to slack Elma remembered how in the game the red magician class was really powerful and it was known for its stealth features gam announced that the monsters
that were coming at them were by monsters that were called ghoul heads and he said that he would take Care of them as they were a bit too strong for novice adventurers and he also added that he wouldn't spend his time protecting anyone Elma could remember that monster from the game as well and they weren't dangerous when they looked only at their stats but they had one skill called the breath of Hades that could make whites out of line corpses and that was a pain to deal with Elma thought that they could end up Victorious
if gam was actually a d rank Adventurer and when he took everything into account Elma calculated that their chances of survival were about 80% Elma had thought that those odds were pretty good for a game but now the conditions were different and he wasn't playing a game now it was a matter of life and death that's why Elma decided to walk up to gam and try to make him listen to him Elma tried persuading him to change their strategy but gaam felt offended by Elma telling him what they should or What they shouldn't do Elma
told gam that seeing the undead HSE in person wasn't the same as was told in the report but gaam simply said how it was too late to change their plan now Elma just stood there hoping that gaam would change his mind after he told him that all the adventurers there were of very low levels and that they all relied on him but gout them simply said that he disliked babysitting and that was the end of their discussion take walked up And started making fun of Elma and she thought that Elma was scared of the undead
when in reality he was just trying to help everyone else because he knew what was coming at them tail continued to belittle our hero who just stood there silently tail also told gam that there was no need for him to Listen to Someone Like Elma she continued talking and now she was speaking to everyone and she said that if anyone was afraid they should just stay behind her Back and take cover but she hadn't realized that they were were already being ambushed when she finally understood that there was an odd silence surrounding her she turned
around and when she saw the army of the Dead crawling towards her she got scared to death and immediately fell on the floor gam and Elma were prepared to act immediately and that's what they did gam ran in front of everyone to meet the army of the undead first and he shouted A tail and pull to follow him as they were his subordinates the leading ghoul head was holding a club and Elma knew that it wasn't anything special and even if it was it seemed that it wouldn't have made the difference at all our protagonist
rally the other adventurers and told them that they were actually the ones with bigger heads meaning that they had brains they could use to outsmart the monsters but the other adventurers were hesitant because they Were so scared Elma explained to them that even though the whites were really slow and you could see them coming from afar they could surprise you with an attack and that could potentially be a fatal blow so they needed to be very very careful Elma also added that he won't be able to stay with them as he would probably be battling
the boss but he understood that the reason why the adventurers were afraid was that they were fighting off demons for the very First time Elma knew that without proper orders the adventurers would be scattered all over the place and they would probably lose their life panicking so he decided to lead them he told them to split into three groups and told told them that if they took care of each other's backs they would survive one of the adventurers listened carefully to what Elum was telling them but he didn't notice that he was getting ambushed by
a white and were it not for Elma who Warned him he would be de E A the adventurer turned his head in the very last moment and was able to get away with only a scratch over his right cheek and Elma jumped in between him and the white and there was more to this white than it appeared initially because he could actually use a skill called Perry which enabled them to block attacks with their swords and shields which made it easier for them to attack Elma started attacking a larger group of whites so he Could
redirect their attention onto himself and that took some time and effort when he finally thought that he taunted enough whites he quickly jumped back to create some distance between them which would give him just enough time to take a defensive stance which in the end activated his special skill that made the attacking whites feel like they had hit a concrete wall the adventurers were completely baffled when they saw that Elma was able to defeat so many Whites all by himself and Elma told them that they should immediately notify each other if something bad was to
happen as Elma was battling and killing off the whites all by himself the adventurers were completely shocked by the sight of that and they couldn't believe that someone who was a heavy Knight was able to fight off so many whites all on his own from all the battle Elma had leveled up and he was satisfied with the whole thing because he couldn't have dreamed Of things going better for him and the sheer number of monsters was more than efficient for his level he was now level 16 and all of his stats went up and he
even got another title the unshakable adventurer of the class and he was rather satisfied with his progress the adventurers were happy that they had someone like ELO on their side but seeing him a heavy Knight fighting so proficiently made them feel more uneasy than battling off the whites themselves The fight continued and even the adventurers were giving it their all and after some time the fight has come to an end one of the adventurers asked Elma whether or not they should join up with Mr gam and Elma explained how the ghoul head was actually on
a much higher level and it would be best if gam took care of it all by himself and in the meantime gam was having a fierce battle with the leader of the dead horde the ghoul head was swinging his clap and gam was able To dodge without much effort and he immediately went on the counter attack and slashed the ghoul head across the face with his axe the ghoul head let out a terrifying scream and gon was too focused on his opponent that he had lost the sense for his immediate environment and he was caught
by a couple of whites gon was Furious and he shook the whites off of himself and he yelled at his subordinates pole and tail and told them to attract more whites onto them so he Could freely fight the leader of the horde oneon-one he told them that they won't be promoted if they kept slacking tail was paralyzed with fear and while she was trying to act tough gam was attacked by the ghoul head and he was almost hit because he was too busy with looking at his cowardly subordinates gam somehow managed to dodge the attack
and he jumped in the air and slashed the ghoul head across his face once again the blow was so hard that it sent the Ghoul head flying into a pile of tombstones Elma was running towards gam to help him and he thought to himself that gaam was doing a good job because one more blow would finish off the ghoul head gam was about to finish the ghoul head but some whites had gotten in his way and they slowed him down and in the meantime the leader of the undead horde grabbed one of his white soldiers
and straight up ate him yummy yummy in my tummy the gou head did that because it Recovered his hell points but there was something that just felt wrong Elma first thought that the goul head was a corpse eater that just ate his soldiers for recovery but something else was actually happening normally the corpse eaters only eat one white and they replenish their strength but this one was eating a whole bunch of them and after it finally had enough it shouted out material Elma knew that that wasn't a good sign and when gam finally shook Off
the whites he wanted to finish the fight with the ghoul head once and for all and he ran towards the monster Elma shouted to goutam that he should immediately get back because something bad was about to happen but Elma didn't know whether or not goutam hurt him the ghoul head's body completely transformed and it looked both scarier and stronger than just couple of moments before the ghoul head had evolved right in front of their eyes into a mad head and by eating All of those whites it raised its level from 33 to 40 which made
it much much stronger if you don't know how strong this actually is it's almost 30% strength increase so that's pretty considerable amount of strength increase now Elma knew that now they were in big trouble and gam couldn't even understand what had happened Evolution was something that happened very rarely and it only occurred when a monster was cornered and it had no other choice to Escape danger but to try and evolve that information wasn't really known in that world and Elma simply blamed it on their bad luck as Gan was standing close to the Mad Head
Elma shouted at him to make some distance between himself and the leader of the horde but it was already too late as the monster had used his intimidating shout to send goutam in a days and Elma now had to react he told tail and Paul to somehow distract the Mad Head and direct its attention away From gam but tail was too afraid and she couldn't move at all Elma said that if gam gets killed they were all as good as dead and anyways and just as he finished talking to tail gam got hit by the
Mad Head and he started coughing up blood from the impact that sent him flying the heat he suffered applied a paralyzing toxin to his body but the Mad Head wasn't going to stop there it reached out with his hand to take GM's paralyzed body but Elma jumped in front of it and Defended gaam Elma barely managed to hold off the attack because the monster was way stronger than him but somehow he remained on his two feet Elma told tail that he would keep the Mad Head busy and that in the meantime she should try to
use heal and paralyses heal on gam to try and make him fit for another round taale was still completely terrified but she somehow shouted back that she could only use the basic kill spell and Elma said that that would do but they needed To get gaam out of there quickly Elma knew that the Mad Head special skill of the paralyzing toxin normally lasted for 3 minutes and then it wore off on its own and if he could somehow manage to last 3 minutes fighting off a monster that was 24 levels above him that would give
tail enough time to try and heal GM's wounds but with all that in mind fighting the monsters while playing the game wasn't even comparable to the thrill you get When you fought them in real life and Elma was now completely aware of the fact that those two things were totally different the medad head's Health points were completely replenished but Elma wasn't going to back down he gripped his sword more tightly and he was determined to last until gam was able to return back to the fight the other adventurers were also terrified but while some of
them couldn't believe that Elma was really going to try to fight off such a Strong monster the others were urging everybody else to run away as they were all about to be killed when Elma dies to the Mad Head Elma took everything into account his level was 16 and his opponent's level was 40 he knew very well that if he was to make even the smallest of mistakes he would be killed on the spot and with that said the madad started his attack it raised its Fist and was about to strike Elma with full force
even though Elma tried to Parry The attack the impact was so strong that he couldn't hold on and he was sent flying across the graveyard Elma was hit pretty badly and he thought to himself how he tried his best to avoid getting into such situations where he needed to risk his life to get some great rewards but there he was and there was nothing he could do about it now after all he was feeling the adrenaline pump through his veins and he was completely fired up from the fight some of the adventurers Decided to stay
as they were really interested in the outcome of the fight one of them couldn't believe how well Elma was doing against the monster that had defeated gam just a couple of moments ago and the other told him that if he took a closer look he would see that Elma was also having a tough time and even even though that was true and Elma was all bruised up and bleeding his facial expression showed that he was determinated to fight off the monster Until gam came back or even to defeat the madhead all by himself if he
could do it but there was no time for chat as the Mad had continued with his attacks on Elma and Elma managed to dodge but he realized that he couldn't keep on running and dodging attacks like that because that was a guaranteed failure he thought to himself that the only way to stay alive was if he started using some faint attacks and to do that he first had to spend some of his skill points on The beginner swordsmanship skill so he could unlock the direct slash skill that particular skill was great for Point Blank Range
when you were eye to eye with your opponent and it could inflict great damage even if the opponent's defensive stats were off the charts the med head wasn't going to wait for Elma to get ready and its attacks were already on their way towards elma's body body Elma used Perry to deflect the Mad head's Fist and the impact sent him Flying back but Elma got an idea he switched away he was holding his sword and immediately after that he stabbed his sword into the ground which he used as an anchor point to propel himself behind
the Mad head through the monster's legs the Mad Head was left confused as it couldn't understand what had happened and how Elma was gone missing from his sight and Elma was happy that his Str stry worked and now he had a chance to try out his direct Slash skill as he was standing directly behind the monster so our protagonist slashed the Mad heads back and after the monster immediately felt a sharp pain it turned around but Elma was quick to fall back and create some safe distance between the two of them Elma explained how everyone
thought that the direct slash skill was bad because it needed to be used when you were standing right next to your opponent and our protagonist said that it was a perfect Skill for heavy Knights because it greatly amped their attacking stats however even though that skill was great it wasn't even nearly enough to take the Mad head down all Elma managed to do was to enrage the monster even more and the Mad Head let out a defining shout the med had started his attacks once again but it seemed that Elma was able to dodge them
more easily now and none of the monsters attacks made contact with his body Elma proclaimed that its moves Were becoming slower and they weren't as organized as before that infuriated the monster even more but our protagonist said that on purpose and he added that the real thing was just about to start Elma said that he had done his job successfully and it was only then that the monster sense something was wrong but it was already too late for the Mad Head as gam was flying through the air and he was ready to kill the Mad
Head with one strike from his battle axe gam Used his special skill called the the Dragon Slayer and split open the madhe head's brain with his battle axe and the pool of blood spawned around them from the dead Mad Head bread lead I'm sorry anyways gaam kicked the corpse off of his battle ax and elma's level went up from 16 all the way to 23 and he was so happy he was progressing really well gam was really impressed by Elma for being able to fight for more than 3 minutes against the monster that nearly killed
Gam elma's feet was even greater because he was an F Rank and gam was a d rank Adventurer but our protagonist was humble as always and he thanked gam for saving him and added that if it hadn't been for him he would have certainly died and gam didn't say anything for a moment he went down on his knees and he asked Elma to forgive him for his arrogance gam said how he was a lousy leader and he did a poor job of organizing the group and everything Happened just as Elma had said it would and
he was really sorry he didn't listen to his advice Elma was really surprised by GM's words as he didn't expect that of him and gam had something else to say as well he showed Elma the manast stone that the Mad had had dropped and told him that it was his Elma knew that the level 40 Magic Stone was worth quite a lot and he could really use that to improve his status but he asked gout whether that would be okay for him to to Take it gam told him that it was perfectly fine because the
Mad Head was defeated only thanks to Elma and that's why gam was going to let Elma reap the rewards basically they noticed that the Mad had also dropped an item and it was a shield with an On's head and Elma asked gam whether he wanted to keep it gam said that he was a man of his word and he had already said that Elma was the one that deserved all the credit for defeating the Mad Head and therefore Everything that the monster dropped was his by default but gam couldn't hide his interest and he asked
Elma only to check the item status Elma picked up the shield and so that it estimated the value was around 3 million gold coins and it had a special effect The Shield's name was the shield of Madness it boosted the users's defensive stats by 25 and it empowered any attack by eight points after using the shield to block an incoming attack Elman the this Rampart return spell only worked if the enemies attacked his armor but he thought that the shield could help him be more versatile in his fighting style and he could easily block attacks
that were of the same level on top of that the insane value of that rare item was also something to take into account gam really seemed interested in that Shield but when Elma turned around he pretended like he didn't care about it at all there was one more thing that Elma Wanted to ask gam and that was his promotion but before he could even ask the question gam was quick enough to give him an answer he told Elma that he would tell the guil to promote him to a rank e Adventurer and that made Elma
really really happy gam continued to tell Elma how the guild had asked him to keep a close eye on Elma to see whether or not he was really a cheater of some kind but gam said how that was completely unnecessary and that he would Fight with anyone that would think otherwise tale thought that that was a great chance for her to ask gout him about her promotion while he was in a good mood and she added how it was her heal spell that brought him back on his feet but gam was still kind of angry
with her he told her that she was the main reason that he needed to be healed in the first place and there was no way he could possibly ever give a promotion to someone like her because a lot more Dangerous rates were on their list and they failed to show her sincerity on the very first and the easiest one gon finished his speech by telling tail that she needed more battle experience and she also needed to become braver if she wanted to be in his party tail already knew all of this but hearing it from
gam made her feel down and she turned around and started to walk but it seemed that she was sour and felt some type of hatred towards Elma even though Elma Said nothing that would potentially make her hostile towards him ah women they all made their way back to the adventurers Guild and when they entered Elma and gam immediately went to the receptionist to see their rewards the receptionist was giv Elma his rewards and there was a total of three of the rewards the first one was 130k gold coins for a job well done the second
one was 200k for 10 white Mana stones and the last reward for Elma was whopping 600k for the Mad heads Mana Stone the whole Guild couldn't believe what they just heard and gam laughed and said how Elma was able to collect more rewards than he was and Elma was very happy that he had participated in the raid the receptionist was a bit skeptic and she asked goutam whether or not Elma really defeated the level for the madhe head the adventurers in the guild were suspecting that it wasn't possible that Elma who was a heavy Knight
could earn So much from a simple raid and they really thought that he was cheating in one way or the other but those comments made gout him really angry and he slammed his fist on the receptionist counter and told everyone that if they didn't believe Elma that implied that they doubted his own judgment and when he said that everyone in the guild stopped talking as they knew that gam was too strong to mess with and Elma was happy that gam stood up for him no one Had any other comments and Elma was normally promoted to
a rank the adventurer Elma exited the adventurer's guild now and while he was walking through the city streets he wondered what should be his next move being an e- rank Adventurer had opened some doors for him and he could now partake in Dungeon rides on his own but his fighting style greatly depended on his use of the ramper return skill and I still don't know how to pronounce it and That wasn't enough to successfully clear all the dungeons all by himself he remembered one item that would change everything and the item's name was the skill
book of the smoldering Fang of Madness and it really looked impressive and it really had a name like a typical manga where you have like 10,000 words and sentences in the name and that was the most important item that book for a heavy KN Adventurer and Elma was determined to find it Elma explained how The true potential of the heavy KN class was only visible when they max out their vow of the heavy armor and they are able to use the smoldering mad Fang when those things are found together in a heavy night class Adventurer
they stop being a defense specialist and they aren't an attack specialist as well what the heavy Knight ends up becoming is actually something way bigger and stronger the greatest Human Weapon that exists in the world that's why the Smoldering Fang of Madness was so important but it was very rare and even though Elma searched the city streets and checked all sorts of shops and markets looking for it he doubted that he would be able to find that item in the city shop Elma went into a shop and asked asked the shopkeeper to sell him three
healing potions and the receptionist stood up to fetch them for Elma and she came back holding three healing potions which were 72,000 gold coins in total Elma thought to himself how the price was a bit expensive but he really needed them so he ended up buying them anyway but before he left he wanted to ask the shopkeeper something and she listened carefully to what he had to say what Elma wanted to know was whether or not there was any place that sold skill books as he had searched the whole town looking for them and he
couldn't find a single one the shopkeeper seemed to pity Elma for not knowing anything and she guessed that it was his first year of being an adventurer she told him that selling and buying skill books was banned for quite some time and it was only possible to use one if you find one in one of the raids or dungeons or something like that all other skill books were bought by The Guild and afterwards they were distributed between noble families and churches Elma didn't know that and he was shocked with what The receptionist had just told
him he compared the state of the world to that of the game he used to play and it seemed that noble families had a lot more influence here Elma couldn't have imagined something like that would ever be possible but he realized that all the skill books that the city of Ron delm had to offer were probably in the hands of the Aden family from which he was disowned however the shopkeeper saw that Elma was wasn't very happy about that And she took a piece of paper and pen and she drew a map for him even
though she shouldn't do such things she felt like she needed to thank Elma for buying those three healing potions from her which were hella expensive Elma picked up the paper and he wasn't sure what the map represented and the shopkeeper told him that it was a map to a shop that had items that were taken away from dead adventurers Elma couldn't understand how they were able to do that because he Thought that they had to report all of their findings to the guild but the shopkeeper explained that they were well aware of the existence of
black markets and they let them operate because not all adventurers were able to afford stuff legally and it seemed like they had an agreement between them the shopkeeper explained that all the dismantled items from dead adventurers weren't given back to their families and instead they were sold to anyone that Had enough money to buy them and usually they ended up in the hands of Nobles and the same was the case with skill books she added how noble families collected skill books and they never even use them and ELO was angry with the way the world
operated and he thought to himself that he would probably already be in the possession of the smaller in Fang of Madness had he been baptized as a sword Saint before he left the shop the shopkeeper told Elma to keep the place On the map a secret and our protagonist told her that her secret was safe with him and he exited the shop Elma immediately followed the map around the town and he entered a small shop in one of the back alleys when he got in he was met with an awful stent and the place was
so dusty and it smelled pretty badly Elma had to cover his mouth because the smell was so strong and he wondered whether he would be able to find any skill books in a place that was so run Down Elma took a look around the shop and he could see all sorts of things like swords daggers Shields boots and he finally saw some skill books and there was a total of five of them but just as he was about to inspect them the witch that ran the place told him that his armor was pretty weak and
looking at him she didn't think that he would be a good customer in her shop the full name of the shop was the shattered grimoire hole and its owner resembled the state the Shop was in she looked dirty and she wore ragged clothes Elma told her that he had enough money to buy something and he asked the witch to show him her collection of skill books the witch simply told him that he was more than welcome to take a look all by himself the prices of her items wouldn't change if they were inspected our protagonist
took the first book from the shelf that had five of them and he saw that it was the skill book of beginners artery its Market value was 2 million gold coins and he remembered how the value of that skill book in the game was only 500k gold coins and he was blown away with the price now to make matters even worse the witch told him that that same book was selling for 3 million gold coins in her shop and Elma was at a complete loss for words the witch explained that the high price was reasonable
because she had to cross a very dangerous bridge to acquire that skilled book and she Explained how she was putting her life in danger whenever she was trying to get some dismantled items especially skill books if anyone from the hups found out that she did that she would have been shot dead El thought to himself how even the beginner skill books were quite expensive and he thought that even if he sold the shield of Madness that he acquired from the Mad Head he would only be able to get that beginner skill book and he couldn't
even fathom the thought Of acquiring a rare skill book Elma inspected the other skill books The Witch had to offer and the ones on the table in front of him were the following books uh beginner archery magic power up Jack in a box and Elemental guard they were all rare skill books but Elma wasn't interested in any of them and when he picked up the last skill book from the bookshelf he was surprised it was the skill book of smoldering Fang of Madness the only thing he was actually Looking for if he could buy the
skill book from the witch he could make his skill tree perfect and he would be very satisfied the witch noticed that he was inspecting that particular book with some Bliss in his eyes and when Elma asked her for the price she told him that that particular skill book was 50 million gold coins when Elma heard that he almost passed out but he realized that he couldn't do anything to change the witch's mind so he just let out a Deep sigh he told the witch that she should hire some bodyguards to level up her security because
she was selling such valuable items the witch wasn't really worried nor concerned that she was going to be robbed because she was very comfortable with her own capabilities she even said how she beat up five people like it was nothing there was only one more thing that Elma could try and he asked the witch to keep that skill book reserved for him and he Promised that he would most definitely gather the money she wanted for the skill book The Witch was cunning and she wanted to hear what Elma would do for her if she was
to Grant him his wish and Elma wasn't sure what to tell her but the witch told him that she didn't have anything against him and that she would reserve the skillbook for him and that Drew a smile on elma's face however the witch took a smoke from her pipe and she told Elma that she wanted an extra of 5 Million gold coins Elma felt disheartened and he knew that he couldn't change her terms and he realized that he would have to save up a lot of money if he wanted to buy this skill book so
Elma left the shatter grimoire hole and he was thinking about all the ways he could collect 55 million gold coins he had only the previous rate to compare his earnings and with that in mind he would need around 60 of such rates to collect all that money he Thought how adventurers that were on the top of the rankings and all the shop owners had some Twisted thoughts about money the only classes that might be interested in the smoldering Fang of Madness skillbook were heavy Knights and Berserkers and ELO was aware of the fact that rare
skill books were extremely expensive and therefore he needed to make up a plan that would be the most efficient for him the first thing that came to his mind was that he should Collect rare items that were dropped in dungeons but that plan had a hole which was that heavy Knights didn't have Strong attacking stats and they rarely killed any monsters the second plan was that ELO would Farm smaller and less dangerous mobs to collect the money but that would take forever the third plan he came up with was that he could learn other skills
by buying other skill books but that wasn't so appealing because he didn't want to pointlessly spend skill Points on skill trees that would literally become useless to him when he bought the smoldering Fang of Madness those were all the things that came to his mind which he could do by himself and he knew he needed to consider other options considering the fact that Elmo became quite famous in the adventurers Guild from the last trade he thought that he might try and find some adventurers to group up with them that seemed like a good option and
Elma Started thinking in that direction and while he was immersed in his thoughts a group of adventurers was on their way towards the adventurers Guild and they happened to pass right by Elma they were talking about a rare item that they were lucky to acquire from their most recent raid and the item they were talking about was Blood Stained sword the value of that item was 2 million gold coins and that caught elma's attention one of them was Particularly happy and her name was Lucy Lu I don't know man these names are so difficult to
pronounce anyways we're going to call her Lucy and she was a cloud what was so interesting about her was that she kept saying how it was because of her special skill that they found the rare item and it was dropped in the first place because of her skill the rest of the party didn't say anything back to Lucy and Elma noticed that they were a Party of Three uh Swordsman abanded and Lucy the jester The Swordsman seemed to be the leader of the party and he doubted that the reason why the bloodrain sword was dropped
because of her special skill and Lucy told them that it really was because of her and she promised that she would show her ability's true potential the next time they enter a dungeon the leader of the party turned around and he told Lucy that she was the most useless member of their party and added how she probably Won't get a penny from the reward of the rare item and Lucy said how she would be satisfied with only 100K gold coins the sourceman told Lucy that her taunting some monsters wasn't enough and that they didn't really
have much benefits from having her around and he once again told her that she was useless that made Lucy angry and she decided to stand up for herself so she told the leader whose name was Klein that she was only able to take some aggro from the monsters and That she didn't have any attack skills because he told her which skills she should spend her skill points on and Lucy thought that Klein was being completely unfair because she only ever did what he told her to do in the first place those words agitated Klein very
much and he walked closer to Lucy to tell her that she was being delusion he told her that he was only giving her advice and that she shouldn't have listened to him if she knew better and That she was the one to blame in the end Elma watched all of that from the side and he realized that they were fighting over skill points allocation and the reward shares our protagonist was aware of the fact that such fights were rather common in the magic world and they mainly arose from the fact that someone tried to spend
their skill point on certain skills that later on end up being rather useless to other members in the party And that's probably what had happened with this party as well but their discussion wasn't over and Klein took out a handful of gold coins which was equal to 100K and he threw them on the ground in front of Lucy he told her to pick up the coins and that she was no longer a member of their party he added how he had accepted her into his party when she didn't have any skills and he was disappointed
that she was asking for a share Klein asked the other party Member the Bandit named Rie about her opinion and she shared his thoughts Rie said how she wasn't happy that she had to divide the prize money with Lucy and Lucy tried to explain that that wasn't her intention and that she only wanted to be acknowledged and she bowed her head down and begged Clyde and Rie wait it's Reese not RI I'm dumb and Rees to forgive her however Klein told her that it was too late for her to be sorry and they didn't want
anything else to do With her and they wished her luck in Wherever She ended up being afterwards Klein and Reese turned around the corner and Lucy was left on the streets all by herself she's about to become a protagonist of a manga all by herself being abanded by her party and stuff now Elma knew that most parties broke up because of financial troubles and he was sorry that Lucy's skill tree wasn't as useful to other party members Elma explained how the leveling system was Made so the adventurers had to think about which skills they wanted
to upgrade and they had to hunt monst ERS that were around their level the problem was if the adventurers allocated their skill points into some useless skills and because of that they experience troubles and difficulties when fighting monsters of the same level Elma thought to himself that Lucy being a Jester she probably had spent her skill points into supporting skills and it was then that Elma remembered what Klein said about the blood stain sword Elma thought to himself that Lucy might have a skill that was really special and if that was the case he couldn't
understand Klein's decision to kick her out of his party Elma knew he needed to check that for himself and he stood up and ran towards Lucy who was still crying on the same spot Lucy was shouting how she was being selfish and how she would never ask for more money but she felt someone grab her Hand just then and when she turned around Elma shouted that she should join his party in the side of Elma scared Lucy to death as everything happened so quickly Klein and REE were just a couple of meters away from Elma
and Lucy and Elma begged Lucy to join his party and he promised her that she wouldn't regret it if she accepted his invitation Elma was so desperate to get Lucy to join his party that he even said that they would split the rewards 80 to 20 meaning that Lucy would get 80% of them and he would be satisfied with just 20% Lucy asked Elma to calm down and she begged him to let go of her hand our protagonist apologized and he let go of Lu his hand but Klein heard all that he said and he
turned around to see who was interested in his ex party member Elma introduced himself and he explained how he saw that Lucy was kicked out and that he wanted her in his party and Klein asked Elma whether he was in his right State of Mind when he made that decision and he told him that Lucy was so useless that she couldn't even level up properly on her own Elma said how that wouldn't be a problem to him and Klein said that he would give Lucy over to him if he wanted to have her in his
party so much Elma said that he didn't need anyone's permission especially his and that rubbed Clyde the wrong way Clyde decided to walk up to Elma while Lucy was losing her mind in the middle Clyde asked Elma What level he was and whether he had any other party members and Elma replied that he was a solo Adventurer and that he was an e- rank Adventurer 23rd level heavy Knight Klein told him that being level 23 he should know more than enough that Lucy who was level 13 wasn't that useful especially to a heavy night and
Lucy told Elma that he shouldn't feel bad to reject her but Elma proclaimed that he didn't care about her level then reys joined in the discussion and she Told Klein that it was a bit weird that a level 23 Knight so badly tried to get Lucy to his party and she started questioning that her skill was really special that was something Elma had feared and he thought to himself that he had been way too straightforward with his invitation but that didn't seem to be a problem Clyde was way too arrogant and ignorant to even think
about what Jesse just said and he told her that it would be best if Elma took Lucy and they Left without causing a big scene reys wasn't happy with Klein's decision but the way Klein saw the situation was there was no way that the level 23 Knight was a solo Adventurer he thought that Elma was either kicked out from a party just like Lucy or the only other explanation he could come up with was that Elma enjoyed hitting on girls and he liked Lucy Klein also told reys that it would hurt their reputation if other
adventurers found out that they kicked Out Lucy for their own mistake of allocating her skill points wrongly and reys had to agree with him on that that's why Klein sheeted back his sword and told Elma that he could take Lucy and that that wouldn't be a problem at all Elma didn't say a thing but he was annoyed with clein because he was a slimy individual and Lucy bowed to Elma and told him that she would accept his offer and that she would rely on him to take good care of her Elma was also Happy to
acquire his first ever party member and clein congratulated them on forming their own party and he told Lucy that up until then she never had any money to buy herself a weapon and by kicking the gold coins on the ground Klein told her that she should consider those 100K coins as a part in gift Lucy didn't know what to say and she thanked Klein but Elma told her to leave the coins on the ground and he shouted out to Klein that he should be the one To pick those coins from the ground because he was
the one who threw them in the first place I mean Bros when I'm playing video games no matter how much gold coins I have if there are gold coins on the ground if I have let's say 100K coins in my inventory and there's like 20 on the ground and I have to pick each one of them one by one you bet I'm going to do it I'm just too greedy in video games just recently I was playing balers Gate 3 and I had like 24K gold And there's like maybe 150 gold coins lying on the
ground but I would have to spend like two or 3 minutes to pick all of them up guess guess what your bro did damn straight I picked all the gold coins up are you the same when playing video games for some reason I'm just way too greedy maybe this is like completionist mentality when I'm playing video games I don't know are you the same tell me the comments Bel let's go back to the story after he told this to Clein Elma told Lucy to leave the money because didn't want to feel indebted to people like
Klein even if it meant a single gold coin Klein shouted back that both of them would end up being even more useless together because Elma was a heavy Knight but Elma didn't turn around anymore reys wanted to collect the money she was acting like me but Klein didn't let her because he wanted it all for himself he's acting like me even more so he ended up picking it after all Elma Took Lucy to a local Tavern and Lucy thanked him for inviting her to his party Lucy was honest and she told Elma that she really
was weak but Elma told her not to think about such things too much and that if she fought monsters that her skill tree had advantages against she would be okay however Lucy had one more question she wanted to ask Elma and she wanted to know whether he invited her to his party because he fell in love with her and that quote Elma off Guard Lucy went on with her story and she said how that was the only explanation she could think of but even though Elmo was a great guy himself she thought that they should
start their relationship as just friends oh my God no bro don't get friend onone without even trying to make her your girlfriend no ELA couldn't believe what he was hearing and to dismantle her doubts he asked her about her skill tree and whether she had the great Fortune skill Unlocked Elma explained the dungeons in the magic world were actually Nightmares From a deity called aleros Elma continued by saying how El us created a couple of servants for himself but after he had gone crazy those servants he created had sealed him off but as he had
gone crazy he couldn't control his powers and the nightmares he had been experiencing gave birth to monsters that opened up portals to the real world and those were the dungeons that Elma talked About and they were also known as dream holes I mean finally some manga explains how these dungeons appear in the world now Lucy showed Elma her status penu and she told him that she had only one skill that was effective and that was the dice thrust skill and that skill had a catch as well it only worked when Lucy rolled a six on
her die Lucy showed Elma her skill tree and she would have liked it more if she invested some of her skill points into other two skill trees she Had the Fool's acrobatics and attack power up Elma told Lucy that her skill Tre was fine as it was and he added how he needed her abilities which surprised Lucy very much and she thought that Elma was expressing his feelings towards her and she thought that he should be more bold when saying stuff like that but Elma meant something completely else he did repeat his statement boldly but
what he said completely caught Lucy off guard Elma said that they were about to go on An expedition on which they would earn around 30 million gold coins and Lucy's level was going to jump all the way to 30 with that being said the two of them teleported inside of a dungeon that looked like a Manion in which level 50 monsters were known to appear which only meant that the adventurer should be around level 50 as well that was the recommendation on the dungeons entrance Elma said how he knew how those monsters behaved and they
would be able to easily Defeat them if Elma taunted them and if Lucy could kill them off with her knife and Elma told her that they would spend quite some time farming gold coins on the first floor Elma had bought Lucy a knife called the iron piercer and its price was 55k gold coins Lucy had never had anything expensive as her new weapon before in her life and because of that she was grateful to Elma and she was motivated and determined to make their dungeon farming a successful Expedition Lucy said that she would take good
care of her new weapon and Elma told her that he would take good care of her and that she needed worry with that being said they came across their first Monster a level 20 patchwork bear Lucy thought that the monster looked cute but when she saw its level she changed her opinion instantly Elma told her that even if she somehow managed to get hit the attack would kill her immediately but she needed to take care as those Attacks had a chance to trigger a Critical Strike which would indeed end up killing her but Elma also
added that the monster's movement could be completely stopped if it was attacked while it was in the middle of its attack and Lucy was surprised with how much Elma knew about Patchwork Bears Elma told Lucy that he would take the monster head on and she should try to kill it from behind and once their strategy was planned out the fight started Elma Started things off with a shadow stomp skill which he had learned after he defeated the Mad Head and that skill allowed him to restrict the monster Movement by stomping onto its shadow wow that's
actually pretty cool he warned Lucy that even though this skill worked really well she should still be careful as those monsters could always do something unpredictable like for example stuff falling behind me professional recap Once Again Lucy listened to what Elmo was saying but she couldn't send any danger from the monster whatsoever and just as she said that the monster started transforming the monster's stomach had previously been stitched up but now it displayed a large mouth with sharp fangs and its shadow changed as well so the bear wasn't restricted anymore and it immediately started running
at Elma Elma prepared himself and without much effort he was able to pin the patchwork bear onto the ground Lucy was surprised with elma's skill and Elma was happy that he had had his Shield of Madness with him as it made everything a lot easier he told Lucy to kill the monster off and Lucy got on its back and started slashing away it took her a while but in the end she was finally able to kill the monster and Elma tried asking her how many levels had she earned but Lucy was shocked with something else
she was going through the monster corpse and she was sad she Couldn't find any drops that made her think that Elma was going to kick her out of his party as well but Elma cly told her that that monster in particular was just for leveling up and that they would encounter many more so there was a chance for good lot to be dropped still and not long after another patchwork bear arrived and they continued with the same strategy after they killed off the second monster Lucy was happy that the monster had dropped not one but
actually Two items the item in question was a bear Shield which market price was around 200k gold coins and Lucy was really happy that her skill had worked and Elma was also surprised to see one item drop twice from the same monster because he never remembered such things happening in the game but when Elma realized that Lucy's base lock stat was raised by 500% due to her beckon in Kitty skill he realized that such things were indeed possible after all but Elmo Was still surprised clay didn't notic that before but he explained that with the
fact the whole Magic world was filled with the monsters that gave good Loot on its own Lucy kept asking Elma whether or not she was useful to him and Elma said that he was really happy and he was grateful to her for deciding to join him Lucy was happy to hear that and she told Elma that she would acquire 10 bear Shields if he like them that much but Elma told her that that won't be Necessary and he asked her to check her level Lucy saw that her level was now 20 and she was surprised
with how fast she was progressing and Elma proclaimed how now they would switch their focus onto another monster the monster he was talking about was the golden frog that monster was just a different kind of the L of frogs that Elma defeated when he first became an adventurer and he thought about all the possible places where golden Lana spawned and he thought That the best one was inside the dungeon they were already farming in Golden Lanas looked like normal frogs but their skin was golden like the name suggests like a shiny Pokémon however that wasn't
their best trait they were special because they dropped very rare items and even though their levels were high their attack stats were quite low so they were great for farming loads of experience points and valuable items because of all those things these monsters were dubbed Loot Boxes by the players of Magic World and they even said that hunting those monsters was the most fun thing anyone could do in the game the reason why Elma chose that particular dungeon to try and farm golden landas was that their spawn rates were the highest in the middle parts
of that very dungeon Lucy add added how she heard about those monsters and she even heard some adventurers say that if you managed to kill one you would be set for the rest of your life That's how valuable they were and Elma was surprised that Lucy had already known about Golden Lenas which made their job much easier but Lucy told Elma that she heard another thing about them and that was that those monsters never showed any signs of taking damage and a lot of people ended up chasing the golden Lanas only to end up surrounded
by a large group of of other monsters and Lucy was certain that a lot of adventurers had gotten themselves killed That way and Elma had to take that in consideration as well before they proceeded to hunt for the golden frogs there was one particular problem with elma's plan and that was that golden Lanas had high speed and defensive stat and to top it all off they were immune to debuffs and hearing that made Lucy desperate Elma told Lucy that the weapon he got her wouldn't be effective against golden Lanas and Lucy didn't think she could
even catch up to one if they Managed to find it somehow but Elma confirmed her doubts and he told her that those frogs had 67 points in speed and 200 in defense which made Iron piercers 15% penetration bonus seemed like nothing like she's using a fork Elma also said that golden lannas were two times faster than jesters and even three times faster than a heavy Knight and their defense was so great that even if he managed to use his ramp part return to with fullest capacity he would Only inflict around one damage to the monster
by the way quick digression a lot of you bros told me in the comments on the previous video was how to properly pronounce this word Rampart return and thank you so much for that but there was one comment in particular that made me learn how to pronounce it the best he told me Rampart rhymes with fart I'm going to for I'm going to never forget this now now Lucy started getting disheartened and she thought that they Would never catch a golden Lena like that but Elma told her that she shouldn't worry and that every monster
could be defeated if you had enough information about it and Elma told her that he had a perfect plan but Lucy was surprised with elma's enthusiasm as she had never heard of such thing as a heavy Knight having a special skill that could catch and kill a golden L but Elma was never talking about himself he told Lucy that he was putting all of his trust Into her which left her completely speechless Elma explained that she had eight unused skill points from all the leveling and Elma told her that if she were to spend all
of them on the Fool's acrobatic skill tree she should unlock two special skills that would be their best chance in hunting down a golden L Lucy wasn't really confident in her abilities but she would listen to Elma nonetheless however Elma noticed a presence behind them and when he turned Around he was attacked by a monster called a toy box but Elma was able to block its attack with his shield and he threw it back Elma told Lucy that the best thing they could do was to R run but Lucy thought that they could kill the
monster without any problems but Elma explained that they didn't need to as that would only bring about other monsters and that's not what they were after Lucy wasn't really sure that focusing on Golden lanis would be their Best option because she thought that they could do some more leveling up but Elma explained that as they were right now their conditions were almost ideal for hunting down golden Lanas and he thought that if they kept looking for them by Elma calculations they should be able to find two by the end of the day and that only
said about the monster sity Elma told Lucy that no matter how maxed out her great Fortune skill was that wasn't going to increase their Chances of finding a golden Lena and if Lucy was ever to feel tired or anything like that Elma told her to notify him about it Lucy told him that she was determined and that she would listen to all of his orders and just when she finished saying that she noticed something down the hole they turned around and they could see something small jumping around and they could hear rabbit rabbit sound that
frogs made it was indeed a golden Lena and they were Surprised to having found one so fast the monster was level 40 and it was indeed a golden Lena and Lucy started getting all fired up Elma told her to calm down because they would need to be as cool-headed as possible and he asked her if she had used the skill points like he had told her and Lucy said that she unlocked the skills he had been telling her about and Elma said that they could try and execute their strategy Elma said that he would wait
For the monster to come to him and the rest was up to Lucy nothing seemed to happen and Elma noticed that Lucy Was preparing herself to go after the golden L he encouraged her and told her that it wouldn't be a big deal if she failed Lucy took a deep breath and she was finally ready so she started running down the hole now golden lannis had great detection skill and they could detect anyone in a radius of 4 M and if anyone crossed into that radius the Frog Started running what made it even trickier was
that the hallways in the dungeon were exactly 4 M wide and that made it almost impossible to sneak up on a golden Lana however that was only the width and the ceiling was a bit higher and one of the skills that Lucy unlocked was called acrobatic steps which made her jump very high and enabled her to walk on the ceiling for a short period of time which was perfect for their plan when Lucy jumped in front of the golden L the monster was so scared that its eyes almost popped out he tried to ran past
Lucy but Lucy was ready to use the second skill she had unlocked which was called dle illusion which made three totally identical copies of her that was their plan to use those Illusions and they would completely block off the hallway and the golden L was forced to run in the other direction towards Elma what made that skill perfect was the fact that golden Lanas were completely Immune to crowd control effects but they were also stupid Monsters and they couldn't tell an illusion from an actual Adventurer the only other weakness that a golden L had was
that it wasn't immune to elma's Shadow stomp everything was now on Elma and his ability to act accordingly now his job wasn't easy at all because the golden L was three times faster than him and its shadow was at Best Around 50 cm large so Elma had to be extra careful not to screw things up And I'm sorry I don't know American madeup metric system now he bought some holy magic Stones which are able to release a healing light but they weren't used as much because they didn't heal a lot of Health points but the
healing part wasn't the reason why Elma bought the stones he was more interested in the light aspect of it and Elma threw the stone into the air which cast a blind in light which ended up enlarging the golden Lena's Shadow which made it Easier for Elma to successfully land his shadow Stomp and that's exactly what he did he stomped on the frogs in large Shadow and D trapped it the golden L was trapped and Lucy was really happy that Elma was able to execute his plan Lucy knew that the hardest part of the job was
done but she didn't know how Elma planned on killing the monster and while the golden Lena was trying to break away from elma's Shadow stomp Elma explained to Lucy that the only thing that could Kill the golden L was a Critical Strike critical strikes were hard to hit but they did 15 more damage with a bonus piercing effect of 50% of the enemy's defense Lucy thought that that that plan was great and she cheered Elma on thinking how it would be him that was going to create the golden Lena however Elma explained that even if
he managed to land a Critical Strike his attacks wouldn't do much damage so that left them with the only other option they had And Elma told Lucy in the beginning that he needed her Lucy was really surprised but Elma continued to tell her how Landing a Critical Strike depended on the user skill and on luck as well and even if that wasn't the case Elma was too far away from the golden Lena to reach it and if he moved the monster would flee as soon as elma's foot was off of its shadow now Lucy understood
that but she wasn't confident in her abilities as she had never landed a Critical Strike and she didn't think she could do it but Ela reminded her that she had a special skill which was the first thing she showed him when they formed a party and that was her dice thrust skill Lucy knew about it but she didn't feel too happy about her skill because Cay and re made fun of her in the past because of it but Lucy thought about it for some time and she understood what Elma wanted to tell her if she
rolled a six with her die she Would be rewarded with a guaranteed critical hit and that was exactly what they needed in that situation and on top of that she had countless tries as the Frog was basically trapped forever as long as our protagonist foot was on its shadow and it couldn't move at all so if Lucy was to roll six with her dice thrust skill her attacking power would rise all the way up to 100 95 which on itself still wasn't enough to kill the golden Lena but Lucy also had 15% Piercing bonus from
her iron piercer and a 50% piercing bonus from the Critical Strike as well which would be more than enough to kill the monster in one hit Lucy still had some doubts but Elma told her that no skill was useless and that all of them were ideal for certain situations and her skill was perfect for this kind of job Elma told Lucy not to think too much about what others thought of her especially if those people were like cly And ELO once again told Lucy that he really needed her strength and that there was no chance
he could ever kill a golden L on his own Lucy grabbed her iron piercer and she walked closer to the golden L she was now determined to succeed because she felt like Elma truly believed in her Lucy used her dice thrust and on her first attempt she rolled a five and it felt like the monster didn't feel her attack at all however on her second attempt Lucy roll The s with her skill and when she pierced the golden Lena its golden skin started to break and with one last croak the monster dropped dead on the
floor Lucy couldn't believe that she had actually done it and both of them leveled up Lucy was now level 27 and Elmo was level 30 but even though golden Lanas gave large amounts of experience points that wasn't what they were looking for now their main features were their special drops but their drop rate Was only 50% I mean this isn't only if you've played other MMO RPG games but if it takes this much difficulty to kill the monster 50% is quite low however the monster had indeed dropped something and it was The Shining Lena decorative
sword which was priced around 17 million gold coins on the market and seeing that made Lucy and Elma both really really happy Lucy was delighted that they had gotten a drop on their first try and that it was worth what she thought 1.7 million Gold coins and Elma noticed that she wasn't really aware of the sword's actual price because she was too caught up in the moment Elma told her to carefully count the digits and when Lucy took a better look she almost passed out when she realized it was actually 17 million instead of 1.7
and it took her some time to calm down and they even set to take a rest Lucy was still under the impression of the sword's price and she thought that if people knew what they Had in their inventory everyone would try to kill them and she suggested that the two of them run away to a secluded cabin in the country and to spend their lives together oh I see so now that elma's worth 17 million he's not in the friend zone anymore okay Bros that's a recipe for all of you who are stuck in the
friend zone how to get out only earn $17 million and you're out of there now Elma told her that she was right about the fact that they would need to leave But what Elma meant had nothing to do with Lucy's Day Dreams of the two of them running away and spending their entire lives hiding what Elma meant was that they were about to go after another go old and Lena before the sunset and Lucy couldn't believe what she was hearing after 3 hours of roaming through the dungeon they finally found another golden L and their
strategy was the same however this time it took quite a few strikes to land a critical one but she Did manage to do so in the end the second golden L was finally killed and that one as well dropped another shining sword and Elma was really happy with that he tried to share his enthusiasm with Lucy but she almost lost her Consciousness she couldn't stand upright normally because she realized that they had earned around 34 million gold coins in just a couple of hours and Elma had to catch her from collapsing on the ground Lucy
was really Blown Away with The fact that they managed to gather that much money and Elma reminded her that now they needed to think about which skill tree they needed to upgrade but Lucy still couldn't believe that she also raised her levels in such a short time while they were walking towards the exit Lucy stopped because she had heard something Elma noticed that she stopped walking and when he asked her whether something was wrong she told him that she had heard a baby's cry Elma stopped To hear it for himself and he couldn't believe it
he knew that something called a wondering Lord was coming their way every dungeon had something called a dream Lord and those were boss Monsters of each and every dungeon and normally dreamlords would stay asleep in their rooms but sometimes for some unknown reason they could wake up and start roaming the dungeon and then they were called wandering Lords Lucy had heard of them and she knew that their level was 50 which was way higher than elma's in hers and she was terrified of the fact that they might encounter it Elma told her that everything was
fine as long as they went in the opposite way of the way from which the cry was coming from and that was a very good and very simple plan but things wouldn't be that easy alongside the baby cry they heard someone screaming for help and they couldn't act like nothing happened two adventurers came walking towards them And they said how they thought that they were prepared to clear the dungeon but they got ahead of themselves and encountered a monster that was way stronger than the both of them Elma knew the gravity of the situation and
he knew that if they died they wouldn't simply respond it would be the end for them so he knew that they couldn't just leave them there to die Elma shouted to Lucy to take care of the two adventurers and he would stay behind to hold off the Monster Lucy listened to his orders but she was worried that wandering Lord would be too much even for him but Elma assured her that he knew what monster was coming at him and he thought that if all he needed was to buy them time so they could Escape he
would certainly succeed in the end that's what heavy Knights were best at they were the best at drawing monsters attention towards them and just as Elma finished with his speech the monster that was after these Two adventurers finally caught up with him Elma knew the monster really well and it wielded a sword and its name was tin night Elma told Lucy that they should start going immediately as he knew that it would be easier if he didn't have to think about them when he fought the monster the good news was that the thin Knight wasn't
the wandering Lord they were talking about and its level was 40 and on top of all that it was missing half of his health Points Lucy thought that if they fought together they could defeat the monster but Elma told her that thinking about that was futile because that wasn't the wondering Lord Elma explained how the th Knight was just like a part of the stronger monster something like its limp and that the main body was actually way stronger and on top of everything else it was going to arrive very soon just as ELO finished saying
that two more te Knights arrived and those two seem to Have full HP Elma told Lucy that he would be right after them but Lucy couldn't leave him alone because she thought that he would die if he fought them all by himself and Elma knew he had to explain it to Lucy in the simplest way that existed El told her that he couldn't focus on fighting the te Knights if he had to constantly pay attention to where she and the other two adventurers were Lucy finally understood what Elma was saying and she apologized For being
stubborn Lucy wished Elma good luck and started running away towards the exit our protagonist knew that right now he was up against three level 40 monsters and if it was only them he could have asked Lucy to fight with him but Elma knew that another monster was coming and a wondering Lord at that Elma told Lucy that he would be right behind them but he knew that he was lying when he said that and that there wasn't a chance he a heavy Knight would be able To run from a lord of Dreams it might have
been a different situation if he was only up against the thin Knights but the way things were it seemed impossible the Lord of Dreams finally showed up and Elma knew he would have to try and defeat it because that was his only option he has no other options that particular Lord of Dreams was called embryo and it looked like a flying baby with a giant eye on the top of its head for a level 50 monster Elma thought that Embryo wasn't really that strong even if it was the boss of the dungeon but there was
another problem the embryo had incredibly High defensive stat and the only weak spot it had was the giant eye on the top of his head but only long range attacks would work against it but ELO wasn't going to give up as long as there was even the slightest chance he could win and he knew that every monster was killable if he knew about it weak spot Elma used of his skill points on The vow of the heavy armor skill tree and he unlocked a skill called Shield bash and with that he was ready to fight
the th Knights he immediately used his newly acquired skill and he bashed one of the th Knights and sent him flying straight into a wall Elma knew that he could fight against them if he broke their formation and that's what his new skill enabled him the other te Knights weren't going to stand around looking at Elma and they started attacking him as Well but Elma used Perry to deflect their attacks and he was able to disarm one of them while he was busy fighting against the two Thin Knights embryo was looking for a chance to
attack Elma but Elma was aware of the fact that it had two spells Sil cutter and thunderstorm which it couldn't use without hitting the te Knights as well so that's why it wasn't attacking our protagonist Elma knew that he would be safe from embryo's attacks as long as he was fighting the Th Knights and he used his disarm skill once again around 50 seconds and it seemed that it lowered the te Knight's attacking stats which meant that he had met the conditions for his ramp part return skill and Elma knew that he only needed to
stand still for it to activate the very instance the te Knight attacked him it was killed and Elma knew that his job was about to become way more difficult actually with one te KN defeated Elma thought that he would now Have to deal with the other two but there was something he forgot embryo used one of his skills called repair and magic revived the defeated te Knights its limb started to reattach to the te Knight's body and Elma realized that the te Knights would continue to come back to life as long as the embryo was
alive however the only time that the embryo was exposed its weakness was when it used its repair skill on one of the tin Knights while the Giant Eye was still Open Elma quickly picked something from his inventory and threw it into the air the Magic Stone shattered while it was in midair and it released a couple of needles which inflicted 11 damage to the embryo's eye Elma realized that that was the only way he could damage embryo at all and the thing he threw was one of the magic crystals he acquired from Patchwork Bears they
fought when they first entered the dungeon Elma quickly jumped back and he knew he had to Immediately start fighting the thin knights in order to hide from embryo spells bro this boss fight is actually really really interestingly and well done back to story Elma thought to himself that as long as he was focused and dialed in he shouldn't be hit by one of embrio skills the te Knights attacked Elma and he used the shield of Madness to block and he tried to use his shield bash like before but even though he managed to bash one
of the th Knights The other two were already on him and Elma almost died to their attacks in the very last moment he somehow managed to block one attack and bury the other Elma strike the last te Knight with a Critical Strike and he jumped back to a safer spot he looked at the entire situation and he realized that the te Knights were actually learning his moves Elma thought that that might be possible in the real world even though he had never experienced something like that in The game but our protagonist never thought that he
would have such a hard time defeating the embryo on top of that the embryo was healing back its HP over time and was now sitting at 33 Health points and Elma realized that he would need to throw three more magic crystals to kill it off however something completely unexpected happened the embryo opened its Giant Eye and used one one of its skills Elma couldn't believe that the embryo used life Cutters Without thinking about the safety of 10 Knights and even though something like that shouldn't have happened Elma realized that he shouldn't rely on the knowledge
he had about those monsters as they were clearly different than the ones from the game one of the te Knights had been sliced in half and Elma realized that he wouldn't be able to dodge the skills so he decided to stand behind his shield of Madness the impact was so strong that it sent Elma flying Straight into a wall and he was completely disoriented his heartbeat was racing and he couldn't even feel his legs ELO was stunned and while he was laying there on the floor the other two te Knights quickly surrounded him our protagonist
thought that that was it for him and that he was going to die he blamed it on his low lock stats and wondered whether he had made a mistake when he sent Lucy off with those two adventurers and when he finally realized That he had made that grave mistake one of the te Knights had swung it SW Ed him D when it was about to decapitate Elma he was pulled to the side by someone when Elma turned around he saw Lucy dragged his body from Harm's Way and he was never happier to see someone Lucy
immediately used her dopple Illusion skill to buy them some time and Elma asked her why she came back Lucy explained that she never heard him coming back to reunite with them so she Took the wounded adventurers to a safe spot and she ran back to see how Elma was doing Elma tried to persuade her to go back but Lucy told Elma that the same way he was stubborn she was going to be stubborn just like him and she was going to stay in fight alongside with him she told Elma how he rescued her before and
how he risked his own life to protect her and because he told her that he relied on her strength she couldn't just run away and leave him behind to die Lucy said that if she did something like that she would immediately quit being an adventurer and Elma was surprised with her determination our protagonist Tred to explain how the te Knights had learned the way his shield bash worked and now they knew how to counter it and they didn't have long range attacks to attack the embryo head on Lucy wasn't going to let Elma give up
because he was the one that encouraged her when she felt useless that's why she told Elma to Count on her once more and Elma realized that Lucy had changed quite a bit from when he had met her Elma got up and told Lucy that he believed in her and they were determined to give it their all to try and defeat the embryo and if they die there at least they would die knowing that they gave it their all Elman and Lucy prepared themselves as even the th Knight that got sliced in half was already repaired
and ready to fight them one of the th knights was Rushing towards them and Elma ran out to counter its attack with his shield bash Elma sent a ight flying but the other two were already on him only this time Elma was ready for their attack he successfully parried off the attack and he told Lucy that that was the time she should attack attack and Lucy acted accordingly and she stabbed the te Knight with her iron piercer the te Knight was blown away from the impact of her attack and Lucy was happy that she Was
able to kill one of them but embryo once again used its magic to repair and revive the dead de Knights and all of them were standing once again with full HP which really shocked Lucy as this was novelty to her Elma explained that if they focused entirely on 10 nights it would just be a matter of time before they were out of energy and then they would be e pray for them and instead they should focus on the embryo and try to kill it as soon as possible while They were still able to fight Lucy
asked Elma whether he had a specific plan that would ensure their Victory and Elma could only think of one thing and that mostly depended on Lucy and her luck she needed to roll a six on her dice thrust because Elma thought that if she was able to pierce through the golden Lana's defense which was around 200 points she should be able to do significant damage to the embryo who defensive stats were 88 points Lucy didn't realize at first That she was able to reach the embryo because it was floating in midair but she remembered that
she unlocked the acrobatic step skills however Elma told her that if she were to use that skill the embryo would just cut her in half with its Sil cutter instead of that Elma had a better idea and that was that he was going to ran through the tin Knights and he would then use his shield bash to catapult Lucy straight towards the embryo that was their best shot and even With that their chances depended on luck and if they fail to execute that plan on the first try the outcome might be lethal for both of
them Lucy repeated after Elma to see whether she understood everything correctly and she promised that she would roll a six because that was their only way to defeat embryo I mean of course you're going to roll a six it's all up to your skills to roll a six no luck at all Elma told her that he was counting on her but what he meant Was that he was counting on her luck stat basically and her special skill to increase it significantly they started running towards the embryo to close the distance between them and Elma even
killed one of the thin knights with an unexpected Critical Strike and when they closed the distance enough Elma shouted to Lucy to jump onto his shield which Lucy immediately did as soon as her feet were planted on the shield of Madness Elma used his shield bash skill to Propel her into the air towards the embryo's only weakness it's eye basically Elma thought how this plan went perfectly well up until that point and there was nothing else he could do more than to pray that Lucy rolls a six with her skill but their chances weren't that
great because when they fought against the second golden Lena it took Lucy seven tries to roll a six but they couldn't allow themselves to lose hope and Elma thought that with everything Taken into account the probabilities should stack on top of each other and Lucy should be able to roll a six on the first try I mean I wish this is how it works but in real life it doesn't work like this anyways while Lucy was fly flying towards the embryo even the monster was a bit surprised and Elmo observed everything from the floor while
he was praying for a six Lucy couldn't do anything to up her Luck stats in that moment and when the wheel stopped Spinning they were devastated to see that Lucy had rolled a four because of that her attack ended up missing the target completely and the embryo's face turned from a concerned one to a mischievous one the monster started laughing really hard and the sound of the laugh was so ominous which worried Elma pretty much it was more than obvious that their plan had failed and Lucy was falling from a great height Elma was very
concerned about the Outcome and he realized that he shouldn't have gambled their lives on a small chance of Lucy rolling a six with her di thrust he didn't see a way out but he gripped his sword more tightly as he knew that if they gave up they are as good as dead Elma looked at TH Knights that were already on him and he thought to himself that he would have to keep their focus on him so Lucy could safely land but it seemed that Lucy Had other ideas Elma heard a step and when he Turned
around he was completely surprised Lucy used her acrobatic steps and she jumped from the side wall to the ceiling behind the embryo and she was ready to use dice thrust once again only this time she was more determined than ever in her life to roll a six but it doesn't matter but that's exactly what happened the wheel stopped spinning and it was indeed a six which gave her a big attacking boost and her attack was a Critical Strike which ended up piercing Through the embryo skull and His Giant Eye popped out and exploded from the
impact Lucy really managed to kill that embryo with one hit and even the te Knights that surrounded Elma immediately died Lucy gracefully landed on her knees and her level had gone up all the way to 31 and elma's level was increased to 41 Elma couldn't believe his eyes and just when he thought that everything was lost Lucy took the matter in her own hands and even though her had failed her the First time she didn't give up and she immediately tried again and she was rewarded with a great victory over such a strong monster Lucy
couldn't believe it herself and while she was regaining her composure Elma brought her her clown head and told her that he would have died if she hadn't come back and he thanked her for saving his life and killing the embryo Lucy was really happy with that and on top of that she was jumping from happiness due to the fact That she felt a lot more comfortable in her own skin as she had gained so much confidence during their dungeon exploration Lucy thought that everything she was able to achieve was thanks to her class and the
special skills she had but Elma told her that she was wrong to think like that he told her that she was the one to take credit for her success and he explained why that was so he told her that when he first arrived into that world he looked at people's classes and Levels and that determined his meaning of them but he soon realized how that was wrong wrong if that was the case Elma would be the same as his father or even his client who treated Lucy badly Elma knew now that people are different because
of who they are and the values they hold there and seeing how Lucy Had risked her life to come back to help him fight off the monsters and how she quickly adapted to the change of the plans he understood that he couldn't Possibly have found a better Ally than Lucy Lucy took all the compliments but she thought that Elmo was over exaggerating a little bit both of them had gotten a title called unexpected result which was only unlocked when a party of Max 2 members killed a dream Lord while their levels were at least 70%
below the recommended level the bonus that the title gave to them was a 15% increase in attack and Agility stats when they were up against Monsters of Higher levels than them on top of that they found two more items two te swords whose market value was around 2,400 K gold coins Elma couldn't believe that Lucy's slck stat affected even the 10 Knights and she was able to find two rare items just like that Elma was curious to see what the embryo dropped and he remembered that in the game it was a bow that had a
special wind enchantment and he asked Lucy whether she had seen anything like that Lucy Wasn't really sure and when they looked around they couldn't see anything like that and after the monster finally disintegrated Elma noticed something and when he went to see what it was he was blown away with what he was seeing in front of him it was a skill book on intermediate wind magic and it was worth 20 million gold coins on the market Elma immediately covered it with his cloak and Lucy didn't understand why he was doing such a thing Elma explained
that Skill books were so valuable that they were even banned from Trading and if anyone was to acquire one or to find out that they had one which was rare as they found one right now people would definitely try to kill them and snatch the book from them Elma thought that it would be best if they sold the skill book to the old witch when Elma finally finished with his story about skill books and their value the whole mansion started to shake and Lucy was terrified Because she didn't know what was happening however Elma calmly
explained that the dungeon also known as the dream Hall was disappearing because the dream Lord that ruled over it the embryo was killed Lucy didn't know about that and that day she learned a ton of new stuff when the dungeon completely disappeared they would be teleported back to the place where they entered the dungeon in the first place while the dungeon was disintegrating Elma made some Calculations in his head and he told Lucy that they had earned roughly around 65 million gold coins from their first expedition and when Lucy heard that she literally fainted and
Elma regretted saying anything because he had to take care of her now meanwhile Klein and Reese were rolling back into town and Klein was pissed off with the fact that their expedition had gone terribly bad and they didn't even get the guaranteed drops that they expected not even Healing shrooms which were pretty common Klein thought that their luck was pretty bad but reys was still under the impression that they had a good drops thanks to Lucy's great Fortune skill but kle refused to believe in that and said how that was just a coincidence Klein said
that he wouldn't have kicked her out if she hadn't mentioned anything about her share but Reese thought that if they were to see her again that Klein should try and make her come back to Their party but Klein turned around and menacingly said that even someone like him had a sense of Pride and he couldn't possibly ask Lucy to come back after he told all those things to her and he wasn't going to beg anyone even if his own life depended on it they made their way to the adventurers Guild and Klein said that they
still had enough time to find a substitute for Lucy because they still had some money left from the blood stain Sword and the substitute they Talked about should be someone like Lucy that followed every other order kle could think of that was their plan but when they entered the guild they saw a huge crowd and kle thought that someone might have defeated a very strong monster or something like that and he overheard some adventurers commenting on how an e Rank and an f- rank adventurers were able to defeat the dream Lord of a dungeon that
was recommended for level 50 adventurers and when Klein took a Glimpse of the reception he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Lucy and Elma standing proudly in front of it Elma explained to the receptionist that they weren't clearing the dungeon at all and that all they wanted was to farm some money and items and if they didn't believe them they had Witnesses the two adventurers that they saved from the wering Lord embryo the receptionist told them that she understood what they were saying but because of the fact that the Town put up a reward
for adventurers that defeated the Angel's Toy Box dungeon The Guild would have to launch an investigation to confirm what they were saying Elma knew how these things were pretty common near towns and Villages and if the dungeons weren't cleared for too long monsters started coming out and all sorts of bad things could happen then the recommended dungeon levels depended on the dungeon's location and there was even a map that Explained all that and El my explained how that greatly depended on the Mana of such places however there were countless theories about that but no one
could say anything with certainty as there was basically no proof normally highlevel adventurers farmed in dangerous dungeons because that way they could ensure that their rewards were good but as there were no such adventurers in the town of rondal the mayor of the Town had to put up a reward to prevent accidents and Disasters from happening Elma didn't even know about that re reward and he asked the receptionist what the reward was and she boldly said that the reward was 10 million gold coins when Klein heard that he couldn't come to terms with his decision
of kicking Lucy out of his party and he understood that he made a grave mistake I mean thank God are you telling me this is a party that kicked out one of their party members and because of that got weaker but he Actually realized that they got weaker wow this is definitely a new approach to Mangus now Klein also heard from other adventurers that they had gotten some pretty good drops as well and kly knew that that was true because Elma and Lucy didn't seem to be even slightly affected when the receptionist said that the
reward was 10 million gold coins however the receptionist had something else to tell Elma and Lucy and that was that due to their amazing feat the guild rule Said that they were to be promoted all the way to rank D Lucy even skipped one rank completely and when clein and REE heard that reys pushed cin to try and persuade Lucy to come back to their party so he shouted out her name and immediately went down on his knees and begged Lucy to come back and he said how sorry he was and that he was now
a different man oh how the turns have Ted now he was ready to split the money from the blood stain sword in three equal Parts but Elma and Lucy simply walked past him without saying a word to Clyde Giga Chads Clyde was desperate and he was shocked that they weren't even going to listen to what he had to say say and reys was also surprised to see how much Lucy has changed in such a short time Lucy and Elma exited the guild and they went straight to a local Tavern to get something to eat Lucy
was really happy that they got promoted to d rank adventurers and she was delighted with The additional 10 million gold coins they got El was immersed in his thoughts and now that he was a d rank Adventurer his skill points were capped at 45 which could give him some room for improvements but he couldn't stop thinking about the smoldering Fang of Madness as well he was thinking of other ways to make money when Lucy called out to him and asked him whether he had any problems Elma realized that he wasn't alone and so he apologized
to Lucy and Told her that they should be celebra and Lucy agreed with him Lucy grabbed the menu and she couldn't wait to see what the Alchemist King stove had to offer and Elma told her that they could order whatever their hearts desired and Lucy never experienced in such luxury before it was her dream to come to that Tavern with her party members and Order what she wanted without thinking about money and she was delighted that that was turning into a reality she remembered How she fantasized about all that with Clyde and REE by her
side but now that was a thing of the past and Elma laughed Lucy opened the menu and she saw a particular dish that caught her attention but it was well over what she thought it would cost and she told Elma that they should look at meals that weren't going over 4K gold coins even though the king crap pie that Lucy wanted was 8K gold coins Elma told the waiter that they were going to take one And he ordered some other food as well and Lucy almost lost her mind she wasn't used to spending that much
money on food but Elma knew that they had more than enough Elma also wanted to talk to Lucy about how they were going to split up the rewards and the first thing he asked her about was the intermediate skill book that the embryo dropped Elma asked Lucy whether she would like to use it to learn wind magic and Lucy couldn't decide and she asked Elma whether or not He had any thoughts of using the book himself Elma said that he already thought about his skill tree and that the wind magic wasn't one of the things
he needed so Lucy said that she wouldn't use a skill book as well and Elma was a bit surprised with her decision as wi magic would guarantee that she could always find a good party but Lucy explained that she wanted to stay with him and she would like it if their goals were matching she was grateful to Elma For showing her how much she could actually do and she discovered that potential within herself and she wanted to see just how much she could grow to top everything off Lucy added how she didn't want them to
split and having said that that only meant that they were going to sell that skill book and Elma was really happy about that and Lucy noticed that and she thought that Elma had some money issues but Elma didn't say a thing about that he continued by Saying how their total earnings were 57 million gold coins and with what they agreed on that they would split 8020 Lucy was about to receive 46 million gold coins and the remaining 11 million would end up in elma's Pocket Lucy was so surprised by what Elma just said that she
jumped off from her chair Elma thought that Lucy didn't like how they were splitting up the money and that she wasn't satisfied with 80% but that wasn't the case I mean of course it was Of the case Lucy told him that she couldn't possibly accept those terms and Elma told her that that split was really common amongst adventurers and in parties Lucy wasn't going to give in and she told Elma that she could never repay him for helping her raise her levels and that was only one thing he did for her her confidence was also
boosted and she thought that the 8020 split wasn't fair to Elma and after Elma and luy had a discussion about the split and they Hadn't made an agreement they made their way towards the now called broken Magic Library the shop that was ran by that old witch Elma opened the door and the witch was surprised to see him come back so fast and on top of that a cute little Kawaii girl was alongside him the witch immediately realized that she was his party member but Elma came there only to ask her whether or not she
still had a skill book he was interested in the witch told him that he was lack in trust And that her business worked on trust after all Lucy took a couple of looks around the shop and she realized that the old witch had something that Elma wanted the witch turned to Lucy and mentioned how she seemed like an Earnest kid and she asked Elma whether he wanted to use the smoldering Fang of Madness on Lucy and Elma told her that the skill book was for him that he wasn't so cruel to use it on others
the witch took a couple of Puffs from her pipe and she Said that even the fact that there was someone interested in such a skill was interesting on its own and Lucy didn't understand and a thing the two of them were talking about Elma told the old witch that they had some items that they wanted her to assess and the witch said that she thought that Elma was more intelligent than trying to sell her the items from his Expeditions Elma took his inventory back and started pulling out all the swords they had looted and the
Old witch seemed quite surprised to see two golden L swords she added how she would have treated Elma differently if she knew that he had such items in his possession and Elma said that he wasn't going to bargain with her Elma proclaimed that he wanted a total of 30 million gold coins for those two swords and for the two Thin night swords and he said that if the witch tried to lower the price they would immediately leave and look for another shop to sell their Items the witch told him that it would be almost impossible
for him to get 30 million gold coins for those items from legal stores and Elma should agree on a lower price of 25 million gold coins Elma knew that the witch was right but he wasn't satisfied with the way she bargained and Lucy also added that the witch was right and the other stores would probably offer even less Elma told Lucy to be careful around the Witch and that she was so cunning that she could Persuade people into things they didn't like Elma was aware of the situation they were in but he didn't want to
sell his items for too little as well Elma told the wish that he could wait with the swords and that they could live off of some magic stones and he took the swords back into his inventory but the witch could sense that Elma had something else he wanted to ask her and she was right so Elma took out the skill book and showed it to the witch the Witch was shocked to see that Elma had came across such a rare item in such a short time because it wasn't just a rare skill book it was
a skill book from a lord of dreams and the wit added that if Elma wanted to sell it for a fair price she would gladly buy it off of him the witch added that Elman and Lucy could become the next hero party and Elma realized that she was interested in the skill book and he wanted to get as much money for it as possible the wit knew That the market price was around 20 million gold coins but she said that if she was to buy the skillbook from Elma her life would immediately be endangered she
added how the guild would probably offer him 7 million gold coins but because Elma had left her with a good impression she was willing to throw in some extra millions and she was willing to buy the skill book from Elma for 14 million gold coins Elma thought to himself that she would immediately Display the skill book for sale as soon as she bought it and he tried to make a better deal by saying how anyone would offer him more than that and he asked for 22 million gold coins the witch got angry and she said
that Elma was too greedy and Elma said the same to her and that she wasn't giving Fair deals to her customers while they were fighting over the price of the dream Lord's skill book Lucy wondered about the price of the skill book that Elma wanted to buy she Asked the Witch and she told her that Elma wanted the skillbook that was worth 55 million gold coins and Elma said how that was a completely new price and that it originally cost 30 million Lucy thought about it and even though she never imagined that the smoldering Fang
of Madness would cost that much she came up with an idea she asked the witch if she could accept all the items they had for the smoldering Fang of Madness and after the witch gave it some thought she Real realized that she could agree with that because the skill book that Elma wanted wasn't really that popular and she could sell the items that Lucy was offering to her without much trouble which was a good thing for her on the other hand Elma thought that Lucy's proposal was a good one because they would still have some
money from the reward and the magic Stones they looted as well the witch told Lucy that she needed to stay out of other people's Businesses but she agreed to her proposal and Lucy was overflowing with joy however Elma had something to say about that deal as well and he wasn't happy with the fact that he wouldn't be able to give Lucy her share of the money if they ended up taking the book Lucy said that she didn't need anything more and she wanted to get the book as a gift for Elma and Elma tried to
explain that even if they did so well on their first expedition no one could guarantee that They would do like that on their next time and he asked Lucy what would happen if they went their separate ways Lucy got a bit annoyed with his arguments and she asked him if he was trying to get rid of her and Elma only then realized that it sounded like that kind of Lucy told Elma that she really had nothing against him taking the skill book he so really wanted as they were going to stay together for a long
long long long time and Lucy turned to the old witch and Said that they had made a deal the witch told Lucy that she had done a great job and they high fived each other and ELO couldn't understand how they were able to get along so fast as while Elma and Lucy were at the Old Witch's shop the girl from the beginning of the story Maris seemed to be torturing some Prisoners the prisoners were tied to the wall and they couldn't move but Maris proceeded to kill them without any compassion even though Butlers tried to
Tell her that she had already killed them Maris was still slicing up their bodies and her level had gone up while she was doing so she had heard that Elma was doing well and even though he was kicked out from the royal Royal mansion and disowned by his father Maris knew that Elma wasn't going to Simply give up and when she raised her head her face was covered in blood and she looked like a psychopath in the office of elma's father he was going crazy about the Rumor that Elma was doing so good in the
town of rondel and one of his closest Butlers Tred to explain that they didn't have concrete proof but they had heard from multiple sources that someone that fit elma's description was really prod producing exponential results his father told to himself that Elma had to use the Advent family name to make some connections in the guil and he blamed his success on that false thought he had what made him even more angrier was the Thought that El was damaging the reputation of his household even further and he wanted to remind him how they weren't treating him
as family ever since his baptism I mean my bro is aware of it completely he was left for good on the streets because he didn't like the classic got anyways the butler tried to reason with his Lord by saying how Elma was a man of virtue and that he would never do such a thing and he asked Isis elma's father to give him time to see Whether or not those rumors were true Isis ordered his Butler to tell the guil to expel Elma immediately if the rumors ended up as truthful and to inform Elma that
if he did something like that ever again that he would be killed now they heard a knock on the door and it was Maris who knocked on the door and she came in and greeted Isis whom she still called housem Isis welcomed her inside and told her that she didn't have to call him like that and that she should Just call him father as he had accepted her as his rightful Heir in the next head of the Advent household Maris explained how she had overheard their conversation and she thought that the butler Thomas was trying
to protect Elma Mary said that kicking him out from the guild wouldn't do much because he could become a bandit with would end up hurting the Advent household even more and Isis thought that she had a good point there but he couldn't understand What exactly is that she wanted now Maris told Isis that the two of them should go and meet with Elma to see what he was really up to now back in the town of rondel Elma and Lucy were walking down the city streets and Elma couldn't believe that he was in possession of
the smolder in Fang of Madness and Lucy told him that he shouldn't think too much about it because he also bought the iron piercer for her Elma explained that he bought her the weapon only because he Knew that they would need it in the dungeon and he knew that it was an investment that would bring them a lot of money and that made Lucy question his skill book and whether or not it would do the same and Elma assured her that it would and he took out the book to inspect it once again it had
a pretty vivid description about adventurers that possessed that skill tree and Elma asked Lucy if it would be okay if he used it right then and there and Lucy could Couldn't wait to see Elma learn that skill tree but she still had some doubts about that skill tree because that description kind of worried her a little bit Elma explained that it was one of the strongest skill trees that existed and when he used enough skill points to upgrade it it would be a complete GameChanger he explained that the smoldering fangs of Madness allowed the user
to fight with his life on the line and when it was paired with the vow of The heavy armor it became completely op Elma didn't want to waste no more time so he placed his hand over the skill book and to acquire the skill tree he needed to get rid of the defense up skill tree he already possessed and just like that Elma had acquired the skill tree that he wanted so much he was so happy and he showed his status menu to Lucy and Lucy started joking with Elma about how he told her not
to show her skill trees to other people but he was Really glad that Elma was happy Elma explained that he would first upgrade his vow of the heavy armor and only after he was satisfied with that skill he would shift his focus on the smoldering Fang of Madness Elman Lucy went to the adventurer's guild to check the quest board and Elma explained how they should probably start thinking about improving their equipment because their levels have increased Lucy thought that they could do that without spending So much money if they relied on the drops from Dungeons
and Elma didn't think that that was possible but when he gave it some thought there actually might be a possibility that it actually could be possible and Lucy was happy to have come up with such an idea while they were in the middle of their conversation the door opened and when Elma turned around he saw his father and Mary walk into the guild The Guild Master welcomed them and Isis told Everyone to clear the room as he had some important matters to discuss the Guild Master invited him to a special meeting room but Isis shouted
how he didn't want to repeat himself and told him to clear the entire room Elma told Lucy that they should go as well because he could smell trouble brewing and coming their way and Lucy listened to him but she turned around to see Isis the head of the edent family she never saw him before but his attitude was Giving Lucy to chills Isis noticed they were heading out and he told them to stop which made Lucy even more terrified and what's making me terrified of murdering my dog is him barking in the background so much
I'm scared I might hurt him I'm joking I'm not I love him so much but sometimes it gets annoying anyways Lucy started making excuses by saying how she was just a Jester that constantly made jokes but Elma told her to calm down while turning to meet his Father's gaze Elma explained how Lord Isis wanted to speak with him and the entire atmosphere had changed the atmosphere was completely different than just a moment ago the air became more dense and apart from the other people in the room Lucy didn't know what was happening Elma finally broke
the silence and he he asked his father what he wanted from him and Isis was offended by the way Elma spoke to him and Lucy also tried to tell Elma that he should watch The way he spoke to Lord Isis Maris noticed her and she immediately went over to Lucy to ask her about her relationship with Elma and as Lucy didn't know what was going on she asked Maris whether she somehow knew Elma as well Elma interfered and told Lucy to exit the room as the situation in had was purely his own problem and he
didn't want it to affect her and Lucy didn't want to leave his side as she sensed a great danger Elma tried to explain Everything but his father shouted at Lucy and told her how she who was just a normal Adventurer didn't have any rights but to listen to his orders and he repeated that she needs to leave the room however Maris understood that she was somehow connected to Elma and she persuaded Isis to let her stay because she might have some information that maybe would be important Isis noticed that the guild leader entered the room
and he told him that they had a Agreement that they were going to handle Elma and the guild leader was a bit confused he had thought that isas came to recruit Elma and Lucy Into His special private Army because they were based adventurers and he continued saying how Elma was Brave and courageous and he would probably end up becoming one of the best adventurers in in history but Isis already had his mindset and he told the guild leader to stop acting like a fool and to admit that he Already knew the reason why he wanted
to speak with Elma The Guild leader was complet completely baffled as he didn't have a clue about what Isis was talking about and Isis finally said that Elma was a member of the Advent family The Guild leader was shocked after hearing that statement and Isis told him to immediately run an investigation into all members of The Guild to see whether there was anyone that was helping Elma hide his identity and Rise his ranks and The guild leader immediately listen to isa's orders because he was afraid of him Lucy was also shocked and she realized before
Elma even told her that he was isis's son Isis turned around to Elma and reminded him of his promise that he would kill him if he used the advin family name after he was disowned Elma finally calmed down as he now knew what Isis wanted from him and Elma cly explained that he hadn't done such a thing and Lucy confirmed that as well Isis was so angry that he came closer to Elma and pulled him by a strap on his chest and before things escalated Maris interfered she called formed Isis down by saying how they
only came to the guil to run an investigation and that there was no need to make crash decisions Isis wanted to see where she was going with this and Maris turned to Elma and asked him if he had just leveled up to level 40 and if he had that was great Elma understood what she wanted to say with That and Maris continued by saying how she just hit Level 45 and had completed her life shift in skill tree and she wanted to spar with Elma to see how they stood against each other even though ISAC
has thought that sparing would be meaningless because in his opinion a sword Saint would always beat a heavy Knight Elma did accept her challenge but on one condition Elma told Isis if he showed them that he was strong he wanted the edin family to stay out from his Life and out of his life till the end of times Isis was angered by that as well and Maris was happy to have some action coming her way immediately after Lucy and Isis backed off to the sides and Maris and Elma took their battling step SES Isis reminded
Maris how she shouldn't kill Elma and Lucy tried to explain to Elma how that wasn't the best of ideas Elma realized that they hadn't sparred like that ever since they were little kids but the look on maris's face Showed no signs of nostalgia and Elma realized that she was lasting for blood right now Mary went on the attack and she was swinging her sword at an incredible speed and Lucy couldn't even decipher what was happening she could only hear the clanging of swords Emma was able to block all of her effects and when he saw
an opening he used his huge sword to swing at her but because Maris was so fast she was able to evade his attack and she jumped back onto the Receptionist table Maris proclaimed how she was happy for having some fun and with a psychotic look on her face she said that that would be the last time the two of them ever sparred Maris thought that she could warm up a little bit only by using her right arm while they fought and she jumped off of the reception desk and went went straight at Elma who raised
his shield of Madness and was waiting for her attack Maris Unleashed a barrage of attacks but none Of them seemed to pass through elma's Shield however maris's continuous attacks pushed Elma back a little bit and she was daunting him with all sorts of questions and Lucy was also worried because that was the first time she had seen anyone make Elma go back a little Elma suffered quite a substantial amount of damage and even though he started off with 100 Health points they were now standing at 61 and Isis hated the fact that Elma was so
stubborn because it was Clear that the fight had been Child's Play for Maris until that point Elma had realized that he had lost a lot of Health points and he knew he had to do something he nudged his shield a bit higher and Maris realized that elen was about to swing his sword at her but she was certain that she would be able to dodge it like she had all this time but something was different now and maris's feet were glued to the ground and it seemed that Elma had used his shadow Stomped without her
noticing and that resulted in Elma Landing a good hit on Maris which knocked her down on the ground Lucy was cheering Elma on and Isis thought to himself how a sword Saint could never lose to a heavy Knight and that Maris just wasn't focused enough Elma was aware of the difference in power between the two of them but he was glad he had gotten a hit that should have done some damage but Elma also knew that that was the first and the last Time that that trick worked because Marx could expect it in the future
the only reason Ela was able to actually close the distance after using Shadow stomp was because of the title he and Lucy had gotten after they had defeated the embryo which gave them a 15% boost in attacking and Agility stats when fighting higher level opponents but Maris quickly got up and she was now paying attention to both her and elma's steps and she started attacking Elma Once again Elma blocked every attack of hers and he knocked her back once again but this time Maris didn't fall she was happy that Elma was strong and that their
fight was still lasting and she added how she was worried that everything would be over in the blink of an eye and she was happy she was wrong Elma knew that something bad was coming his way and he could sense it as Mary started taking a completely different attacking stance and her Aura changed as Well Mary said that because Elma was able to land a good hit on her she was going to take that chance to show everyone one special skill of Sword Saints called vagra barage and with that being said Mary simply V finished
and Lucy couldn't believe her eyes the very next moment Mary showed up on the other side of the room and she was already flying at Elma with her sword pointed at him Elma didn't have enough time to put his shield of Madness in front of him And he somehow blocked the initial attack with his sword but as Maris was going in for another one already el was able to fetch his shield from his back and he used it to protect himself from her attack Isis and Lucy watched everything carefully and while Lucy was on her
toes Isa stood calmly Elma realized that he had barely managed to survive maris's special skill and he thought that it was all finished but Maris had a huge green on her face and She was sending another attack as well only this time she was slicing from the bottom up like an uppercut with a sword and even though Elma managed to place his shield of Madness in front of him to block it his blood was filled and Lucy shouted out his name because she saw that he was wounded the fight was about to get even more
serious and Lucy commented how Elma was really struggling against Maris which made Maris really happy Elma was obviously wounded and There was blood coming out of his mouth but he was still standing on his feet NIS realized that she couldn't really break elma's defenses that easily but from the look on elma's face she knew that she had caused him much pain and inflicted a lot of damage while Elma was trying to catch his breath Maris wondered whether she should just attack him and kill him once and for all Isa said nothing but Lucy cried out
how Elma had already reached his limit and she Begged Maris to stop but after they all said what they had to say Elma coughed up some blood and he decided to finally speak out he told Maris that he had a total of three objectives while their fight lasted and even though Maris didn't say anything back she was clearly interested in what Elma had to say so our protagonist said that his first objective was to see maris's skill in person with his own two eyes and the second one was closely connected to the First one as
he also wanted to see whether that skill had an opening he could use to attack her however his third objective seemed a bit odd at first Elma said that his third objective was that he initially let Mary land a couple of hits so his health points would drop below 40% Elma was now sitting at 38 Health points and Maris was angry at him because she thought that what he said was nothing but garbage Bluffs Mary showed Elma her Special magic sword Mizu garasu and said how she was satisfied with the difference between the swords ability
stats and elma's current level but Elma said that he had taken everything into account and that his calculations were perfect what Elma had in his mind was that he had finally reached all the conditions he needed to use the smaller in Fang of Madness and he started having flashbacks of how Lucy made a bargain with the old witch to acquire the skill Book for him and with one swipe of his finger Elma added a couple of skill points to that special skill tree he wasn't going to give up because Lucy Had believed in him and
she was actually the one that motivated him now Elma knew that she was scared to death to talk back to Isis and yet for his sake she did that as well Elma had used up five skill points on the smoldering Fang of Madness and that unlocked a special skill called half dead Savage dragon and With that he was going to make sure that he won the fight against Maris Maris thought that he was only spouting gibberish and bluffing but Elma was dead honest he only had one condition to meet to use his special skill and
that was to bring his health points below 20% however that was usually very risky because even one blow could mean the death of him and he could die without ever activating his skill but now comes the part where being a heavy Knight Makes Elma op heavy Knight had a unique skill that would help them minimize the risk of dying before activated the half dead Savage dragon skill and that skill was called Life Shield and Elma used it just then elma's whole body started to Glow but his health points had dropped to 18 what Life Shield
actually did was that it gave the user a full body Shield that would last as much minutes as health points sacrificed by the user Isis knew about that skill and he didn't Think it would help Elma that much and Isa saw that as a desperate move however the reason why Elma used Life Shield wasn't because he was relying Solly on that skill but to bring his health points down below 20% Which had achieved now El was certain that he would end up finishing the whole thing in a matter of seconds so he gripped his sword
even more tightly and his body started emitting electricity which scared Maris for the first time since the beginning Of the fight Elma had finally used his half dead Savage dragon skill and he proclaimed that he was going to show everyone why the heavy KN class was actually the strongest one Maris realized that Elma had activated some type of skill but she left it off thinking how that couldn't possibly make a difference in the fight but Elma immediately jumped at her and with a speed that even exceeded maris's their swords clashed and Maris was shocked Seeing
that made her think that she was fighting a sword Saint instead of a heavy Knight the reason why Elma was so fast was indeed his special skill which raised his attacking and Agility stats by 100% And with he added 15% from the title he acquired he was now sitting at based 115% buffing attack and speed and with that Elma had now gotten the statistical upper hand in their fight they started exchanging blows and Maris was laughing All the way because she enjoyed the adrenaline she was experiencing and she was happy that Elma didn't give up
because the way it was now was far more entertaining for her naris asked Elma whether he had heard of the tale of the wax wied Angel and even though Elma knew the story he choose to remain silent Maris proceeded to tell the story of how an angel without wings was born and because of that she was cast down to Earth from heaven the angel couldn't Stop itself from dreaming of its return to heaven so it made itself some wings of wax and started flying towards the sun however the story ended with the wax wings melting
down which caused the angel to fall and ultimately die I mean this is literally Icarus Mythos but okay I'll give him I'll give him a pass this time now the whole purpose behind NIS telling the story was to make a connection between the angel from the story and Elma and she was saying how How Elma was going to die just like that angel Maris was deluded by her Envy towards Elma and she said how the things she loved the most was to see people struggle and even despite all of their efforts they still ended up
failing it was obvious that Maris was a psychopath and she enjoyed to see people suffer I mean just report her gg20 report her she's so toxic she attacked Elma but Elma used Perry to deflect her blow he was completely convinced that he was Going to win and he felt sorry to break it to Maris that wasn't going to share the same fate with the angel from the story Mary still thought that she had the upper hand in the fight and she said how Elma Perry was just an inferior version of one of her skill and
while she was saying that her sword started overflowing with water that covered the whole blade I'm sorry I'm sorry it's cringe I know but it reminded you of Demon Slayer And I love that anime especially their attacks so anyways back to the story the name of her skill was flowing water but even though Maris thought that she had the upper hand Elma found a way to trick her by delaying his attack a little bit which completely caught her off guard she was furious with the fact that she felt like she was being pressured by Elma
and that she was now defending instead of attacking our protagonist told her how she couldn't even overpower Him while her overall stats were much higher than his and now that Elma had the power of the stats on his side there was no chance for him to lose to her now Maris thought that she should resort to her special skill once more more vagra barrage and that's exactly what she did she started slicing away at Elma but Elma parried one blow then another one and when Marys failed to land her third strike she felt completely exhausted
and Elma found himself behind her Maris let Out a desperate cry but Elma told her that her special skill had a huge opening that angered Maris even more and when she attacked Elma once again he deflected her sword and it seemed that the impact was too much for her to handle that she had to let go of the sword that was sent flying into the air bounced off of The Guild ceiling and finally struck the ground Elma explained that vagra barage was a great skill that increased all stats but the skill was as Strong as
its user was and it seemed that Maris was only riing on her talent and that she hadn't been put in much work Elma explained that if she had stopped at her third strike she would still have energy to continue but Maris couldn't take it to be lectured by Elma and she attacked him with her bear hands that was the most desperate move she could do but Elma was ready for the succer punches as well and he prepared his shield of Madness when Maris punched Elma's Shield Elma used his shield B to send her flying across
the room and Maris ended up hitting the wall at the end of the room and with that the fight was over and Elmo was the obvious winner I mean I would like it if he killed her actually but it's too much I get it now Maris was lying unconscious Isis was speechless and Lucy ran to hug Elma to celebrate his victory Elma was surprised by her reaction but Lucy explained that she was more happy due to the fact that Elma was alive and well and she told him how scared and concerned she was when she
first saw how Mary fought Elma patted her on the head and he said that she was the one to take all of the credit for his victory because after all she was the one that made the deal with the old wish to acquire the smoldering Fang of Madness for him they turned to Isis and Lucy said how Maris was lying there there and they could see how desperate and shocked Isis looked he Couldn't believe that a heavy KN class like Elma would ever be able to defeat a sword Saint like Maris and he started questioning
everything now when Isis knelt down to see whether Maris would be all right Elma addressed him as count Isis and asked him whether that fight was enough for him to acknowledge his power and strength Elma Lucy stood over while Isis was nearing next to Maris who was unconscious and as much as it pained to say it out loud he proclaimed that he Was now aware that the guilt had nothing to do with elma's success and that he could see how he was able to defeat the dream Lord on his own Isis picked up Maris and
her sword and without saying another thing he left Elma looked at his father's back while he was leaving and he remembered how he used to tell him while he was a kid that they as Nobles should never have any connection with the common people and that they should not even show any compassion towards Them Elma being a child only listened to what his father was saying and he also added how that needed to be like that if they wanted to keep their nobility status and dignity and only if they were keeping a distance between them
and the commoners would they be able to protect both the land and its people Elma remembered how he didn't understand his father when he was a child and he thought to himself how he never respected him in the true sense of the Word our protagonist described his father as an emotionless Tyrant who only cared about himself and the way people thought of him but those words he had heard his father say when he was a child made a huge impact on Elma because they sort of paved his way or ignited his desire to serve the
people and protect them while Isis was walking towards the exit door Elma called out to him and addressed him as father that time and bowing down Elma thanked him for Bringing him up and raising him a it was an emotional moment but Isis as proud as he was didn't even Flinch not to mention turning around he just continued walking and Lucy called out to him and asked him to apologize to Elma Elma tried to tell Lucy that it was fine and that he didn't have to do such things because Lucy wasn't going to keep silent
she told Isis that Elma calmly endured all of his shouts and insults and now when he knew he had to apologize because he was wrong He was just leaving without saying a word to his son Lucy turned to Elma to tell him that even though they cleared their misunderstand standing Elma was the once again the one that was going to end up lonely and without the family Isis reached for the door handle and he shouted out to Lucy to take care of Elma that was the only thing he said and then he left but both
Elma and Lucy were surprised by his words that night was going to be elma's last night in the Capital of Rond delm and the very next day he and Lucy left the in and got on a carriage that was leaving rondel Elma asked Lucy whether she was comfortable enough to leave r down behind and accompany him on his journey and Lucy said that she had to do it because Isis told her so no matter how she felt she was going to take good care of Elma I mean that's a good built-in excuse but after all
she was feeling a bit down because Isis didn't apologized to Elma In the end Elma understood that he needed to pay attention to his image and the way people perceived him and Elma was glad that his father showed any compassion whatsoever and he knew that Isis had to do it in his own way but Elma didn't want to keep talking about that topic and he told Lucy that by saying that he was in her care that was isis's way to acknowledge her as a great Adventurer and that made Lucy smile The Carriage finally stopped and
they got Off and it seemed that they had reached their destination they arrived at Loria the so-called town of adventurers Elma had never been there and even though he had heard countless stories about it nothing could prepare him for seeing in the ginormous town in person both of them were blown away by the town size Ela wouldn't even call it a town in his opinion it was much more resembl in a city than a town the reason why Loria was dbed the sacred land of all Adventurers was that Loria was a place that was swarming
with high level Dungeons and they were appearing rather often those dungeons were the reason why every Adventurer was visiting Loria because they wanted to make a name for themselves by clearing some of those dungeons it was a dream of every Adventure that sought Fame and power hearing that there were so many dangerous dungeons around Loria made Lucy ask Elma whether the city always Managed to clear them and Elma thought that that was probably the case he told Lucy that they weren't beginners anymore and that's why he would love it if they started grinding and farming
even more than they used to but before they could do anything they would need to upgrade their equipment because it was in a really bad condition Elma planed to immediately go into a dungeon as soon as they finished visiting the Guild in that City and Lucy wanted to confirm that Because she felt like she needed to allocate her unused kill points but she didn't really know what to do and she asked Elma to help her out she reached out her hand with her status menu opened and Elma once again told her not to show her
skill trees to other people Lucy thought that it should be fine if it was Elma whom she showed it to and Elma looked at her status menu and he explained the jesters usually had four different builds and all around their Build a magician build a speed one and a crate one Elma continued by saying how Lucy shouldn't upgrade her great Fortune skill tree if she wanted to have a good allaround build which would even be good for magic but Lucy immediately corrected Elma and told him that she wanted to be one of the best and
that she would love to go for the strongest out of those four he had mentioned after hearing her wishes Elma told her that she should go for a crit build and she should start by Allocating 15 of her 18 unused skill points into her great Fortune skill tree and Lucy did it immediately without a moment of hesitation she was delighted to see that her beckon and kitty skill evolved into the angel of Happiness skill that made her really happy and she felt more motivated than ever the goal that she had in mind was to become
the best great build Jester in the entire world and Elma told her that if she was even going to try to do that they should Acquire a special skill book called the gami Assassin Elma thought that it was going to be even more expensive than the smaller in Fang of Madness which was priced at around 50 billion gold coins and Lucy was overwhelmed by that so much that she even questioned going for another build Elma told her that they would probably have enough time to gather as much money as they would need because they were
still far away from acquiring it and whenever there was Mention of large sums of money Lucy felt a bit sick for some reason El and Lucy made their way to the adventurers guilt in the city of Loria to gather valuable information and to see where they could go to grind and farm they learned what they needed and they made their way to a dungeon that appeared in the forest near Loria Elma thought that that dungeon was the best place to farm some good equipment with Lucy's great Fortune skill and they entered the dungeon with The
aim of acquiring black steel equipment when they entered the dungeon it was much different than the last one because the last one was all nice and luxurious huge hallways of a beautiful mansion and the one they were in was a mine now Lucy mentioned how they were once again completely under the recommended adventurers level and Elma told her that they would be fine and that those were just numbers he explained that the monsters they were Going to hunt were slimes that were of much lower level than the one that was assigned at the entrance to
the dungeon on top of that those slimes had a high chance of dropping black steel equipment which was really popular among lots of intermediate adventurers because they weren't hard to handle and their value was high El told Lucy that black steel equipment would be crucial for their success and Lucy was amazed with the fact that Elma knew so much about the World he always knew what they were after and what was good and what wasn't and the topic also didn't matter because he knew all about classes and all about Dungeons Elma said how that wasn't
a big deal because he was forced to study all of that when he was a kid and Lucy apologized for mentioning something that might evoke some unpleasant memories our protagonist told her that she shouldn't be sorry because she was one of the reasons he could cut all ties with the Edin family in the most painless way but there was something Elma couldn't tell Lucy and that was that the knowledge he had wasn't from his childhood studies and that it came from his memories from his previous life Elma knew how crazy that sounded and not even
he himself knew everything about it Lucy went on to comment how people in elma's family weren't actually emotional and she thought that if Elma had so much knowledge about the world then he could Simply get himself a job as a guil counselor but she quickly understood that if that were to happen the two of them would part ways and that fact terrified her now Lucy asked Elma to stay with her and Elma replied how he loved being an adventurer far more than having an office job and that way he was able to calm her down
with that being said they came across their first slime monster and its level was 45 which made Luc a little bit stiff and she said that The Slime was the same level as Maris and even if that was the case Elma explained that the levels of people were different than levels of monsters after all monsters weren't as smart as humans and especially slimes they could only execute simple movements which made it almost a joke to compare them to sword Saint adventurers Elma started running towards the Slime to meet it before it accelerated to its full
speed and he was going to stop it with his shield the Slime started to roll as well and even though it wasn't at full speed the impact was still a strong one that it sent Elma flying Elma didn't lose his composure and he noticed that the Slime had stopped under a lamp light and he quickly dashed to use his shadow stomp to restrict the slime's movements Elma explained that as long as they kept a safe distance and moved well the two skills that the slimes had accelerate and body strike would never harm them Which meant
that they could practically go about the whole dungeon without taking any damage Elma also used his disarm skill to drop the slime's attacking power D in case and Lucy was quick to act as well with her acrobatic steps she quickly jumped behind the Slime and started carving it up with her iron piercer the Slime somehow managed to escape elma's Shadow stomp but as he didn't have room to accelerate his body strike was much less powerful and Elma Didn't even feel the impact at all it was evident that the Slime was losing its power and Lucy
was able to finish it without a problem the Slime let out a cry before shattering into smaller pieces oh no slime don't cry the monster died and elma's level Rose to 43 and he told Lucy that if they could be that efficient they could clear the dungeon in no time Lucy went to see whether or not the Slime dropped anything and among the Earth magic crystals Lucy found a Black steel knife whose market value was 4.3 million gold coins even though Elma knew that Lucy would increase their dropping chances he never imagined that they would
find the black steel knife so quickly and and Elma told Lucy that they practically found the only piece of equipment she used and Lucy made a comment about how she would need to take good care of that knife because it was really valuable and expensive Lucy asked Elma whether his plan was to only go After slimes and he said that it was and if everything was according to his plan they could easily kill at least 10 slimes without a problem and Lucy was a bit intimidated by that number our protagonist explained that they were able
to kill the last one without taken any damage and he also said that the slimes were nothing compared to the te Knights and the embryo they already defeated Elma explained that he wanted to farm at least the same amount of Money that would be equal to two golden L swords which was 34 million gold Lucy asked him if there was a special reason for that and Elma simply replied that they would need lots of money if they were to become stronger Lucy understood that they needed to become stronger but she didn't really think that farming
Smiles was the right way to go but Elma told her that he wasn't afraid of smiles but there was actually something that Elma was worried about but just as he Was going to tell Lucy what that something was their conversation was interrupted by a big group of smiles four of them to be exact Lucy was going crazy but Elma stayed calm he knew that they don't usually attack in groups but he also knew that they must not Retreat as that would give the monsters the advantage because of their acceleration skill Elma told Lucy that they
needed to go to the monsters and not the other way around and after all that was something That Elma had been wanting all along that was the perfect scenario for someone whose sole goal was to farm experience and Equipment Elma explained that they needed to unleash a quick attack so they could end up fighting a smaller number of opponents because the longer the fight lasted the more difficult it would be for Elma and Lucy there was one monster that was a little bit different than the others and was standing in the back and Elma noticed
it Immediately instead of a smiling face it was gloomy and the monster was called gloom as well and Elma was really happy that they had stumbled upon it as it was even rarer than the smiles he realized that Lucy's great Fortune skill tree was not only responsible for better item drops but it also affected the spawn rates of rare monsters and he was really happy so he thanked Lucy but Lucy ended up understanding that like it was her fault that they were being attacked by a Group of monsters Elma tried to explain even though that
was right he didn't mean it like that and he was actually happy that that was the case but as they talked about that the monsters started rolling towards them and they had to come up with a quick strategy now Elma told Lucy that he would taunt the monsters and that she should try to attack the Gloom Monster that was in the back because it seemed that Gloom was the leader of the smiles Lucy understood Her task and she waited for her chance one smile and the Gloom were after Elma and Elma used Perry to Def
F the smile and as he noticed that the Gloom was rolling towards him he quickly told Lucy to jump in the air before he grabbed his shield of Madness Elma took a defensive stance and as soon as the Glo made impact with his shield he used Shield bash to send the monster flying directly towards Lucy that has been waiting on the ceiling Lucy was ready and she Jumped to meet the Gloom with an attack and with dice thrust rolling a six she was able to kill the monster with a single Critical Strike the shattered into
smaller rocks and stones and it was crumbling and Elma tried to pay attention in order not to get hit by the debris their levels had gone up once again but there was no time to celebrate as those smiles were already rolling towards Elma and because they were coming from the back Lucy warned him to Watch out for their attack but Elma was completely calm and he knew that the Gloom was their Mastermind and The Mastermind behind their attacks and as he crouched down he used his fa skill to repel the two monsters into attacking each
other head on he continued how smiles were completely stupid without their leader and the impact of the strike made both of the monsters fall onto the ground unconscious which enabled Elma and Lucy to finish them off Without any effort Elma turned around as there was another smile still alive and when the monster noticed that it was alone it started running away but elbow wasn't going to let that happen and he immediately used his shadow Stomp to stop it from moving Lucy immediately attacked it and she killed that one with one strike as well and she
was feeling a lot more comfortable now that she was wielding a black steel knife ELO was really happy with how that fight went Because he thought that he would even have to use his special skill but that would end up as an Overkill and Lucy was amazed with the way Elma fought and that motivated her to try and keep up with him as much as she could the drops that they had gotten from the smiles were the following a black steel Hammer a black steel ingot and a black steel sword which were all around the
market price of 4 million gold Elma took the sword for himself and he was really happy that They achieved their biggest wish and Lucy was really happy that they had matchine weapons now Women Elmo was now interested in what the Gloom had dropped because it was a rare monster and the drop should be RAR as well and when Elma picked up the drop Lucy couldn't recognize it but it looked like a Magic Stone to her Elma told her that even though it resembled a Magic Stone the drop he was holding in his hands was a
rune runes were special stones that Could increase the stats of certain equipment and only a skilled blacksmith was able to successfully transmutate the Rune the Rune that the Gloom had dropped was called the Rune of Destruction and its market value was around 20 million gold coins because its effect was really strong the Rune increased a weapon attacking stats by 30% % Elma was really happy and Lucy couldn't believe that such a small marble was that valuable Elma was really surprised to come across A rune so early and Lucy told him to safely stash it for
now and not to lose it they checked the total value of all of their drops they had found and it came to around 41 and A5 million gold and Lucy had to grab hold of something because the number was too high Elma wanted to continue even though they had gotten the weapons that were essential for their levels and they even leveled up quite a bit but Elma knew that black steel equipment was only the bare Minimum and that everyone had access to it and on top of that he wanted to far more gold because there
was a chance that they might come across the shinigami's Assassin skill book that they needed for Lucy's crit build with that being said they walked further into the mine without knowing what was waiting for them and while they were walking further down the mine Lucy was joyfully wh in a tune and when they crossed one Bridge Elma told her to stop Which kind of surprised her but she soon understood why Elma told her to stop whistling as another sound could be heard now and this one was more ominous and Lucy thought that it could maybe
be a giant smile but Elma told her that such a monster didn't exist but he also knew that it wasn't the dream Lord as well there were many reasons why that was true ever since the dungeon appeared near the town of Loria no one no one had ever saw the dungeon boss and no Bounties were ever issued for the clearance of the dungeon that also meant that the dungeon wasn't swarming with adventurers that wanted to earn themselves some Fame and quick money and on top of everything that sound was completely different than the sound of
a dungeon boss Elma had thought about every possibility and he came to a conclusion that the sound could be coming from a mythal Golem and after the sound had repeated itself once again There was no doubt about it Elma could recognize the sounds of its footsteps Lucy had never heard of a mythal Golem before and Elma told her that they were extremely lucky as it was a super rare monster he explained that it was much much rarer than the Gloom and if killed the monster would drop mithil which was an extremely rare material out of
which weapons could be forged and Lucy became really interested in this material but elma's face suddenly became more serious Than ever and he told Lucy that that monster was way stronger than anything they had ever encountered before even Elma who was a heavy Knight that specialized in defense wouldn't be able to defend against the mythal Golem's attacks and that monster was known for being able to kill really strong adventurers and that was the part that Elma feared the most he knew that if they were to die that was it there was no respawn button in
the real world he Was really worried and he knew that the rewards would be great but he knew as well that the risk was too high too Elma crouched down to think and he thought to himself how they would most certainly die if they were to come across a mythal Golem while they fought another monster and Elma thought that it would be much smarter to retreat but he couldn't make a decision because he was really intrigued by the mithil because weapons made from it were the strongest of best Quality Lucy called out to Elma and
she said that by seeing him worry too much and think made her realize that mithil was really valuable and they should go she said that even though she was really scared she wanted to overcome her fears because she was an adventurer after all Elma was surprised by Lucy's words and when he turned around Lucy explained that she knew that whenever Elma thought about something a lot he wanted that something no matter the risk on top of All that Lucy also realized that it was her great Fortune skill that probably spawned the mythal Golem and that's
why she would feel really bad if they left it for someone else normally monsters spawned around the same level as the adventurers in the dungeon but the mythal Golem was probably the only monster that broke that rule Elma was slowly getting up and he told Lucy that if she was okay with that decision they would go after and try to defeat the Mythal Golem and Elma had already thought of how they would approach the fight he told Lucy that they needed to find a place that could give them an advantage and Lucy was really surprised
with that idea they started exploring the mine and Elmo was constantly making some noise with his sword to get the monsters attention so they would follow him the sound was becoming louder and louder and ell was satisfied that his strategy was working but Lucy wasn't Really sure that they were in the right place as it was a bit too hard to work normally but Elma told her that they had already done a similar thing with the golden L and that the cave that they were currently in had ideal conditions for fighting the myal Golem everything
about the cave they were in from its height and width and even the ground it was all perfectly placed for them because the monster shouldn't be able to easily move in such a Terrain Elman knew The exact stats of mithil Golem and he told Lucy that it was level 55 and that its attacking stats was 78 with 66 points in defense and as if that wasn't enough the monster also had automatic Health regeneration hearing all that made Lucy lose her mind our protagonist said that it would be pointless if they tried to use a bunch
of smaller attacks on the monster and that they would have to count on luc's dice thrust skill for a Critical Strike Elma knew that it Would be really hard to find an opening to attack the monster but that also meant that the monster wouldn't be able to attack them because of the specifications of the Cave the monster finally appeared and it was G enormous with a whopping 117 Health points and the other stats were just like Elma mentioned after seeing the monster elma's determination and will grew even stronger and he has decided that they would
strip every single piece of mythal It had when the mythal goem saw Elma and Lucy it let out a deafening Roar and Elma knew that the fight started as soon as the monster had laid its eyes on them Elma started running towards the monster and he told Lucy that he would distracted and Lucy understood that her task was to attack when Elma found an opening for her Elma was in the attacking distance of the monster and his first idea was to try and Parry its attack but Midway through Elma realized That that wouldn't really be
possible and he ended up taking the punch with his shield of Madness however the strike was so strong that Elma barely managed to stay conscious as he was sent flying through the cave Elma somehow succeeded into landing on his feet and he knew that the mythal Golem had a great sense of presence and he had never felt more intimidated in his whole life Elma wanted to use this arm to lower the monster attacking stats but he just Didn't have the time to do so and he realized that their task wasn't going to be an easy
one but our protagonist noticed that Lucy used her acrobatic steps to go around and behind the monster's back and he thought to himself how he managed to achieve his goal Lucy was also really happy that the distraction plan worked out and she went in for the attack justtin Lucy was about to hit the myth Golem with her new knife the monster turned its head around and Lucy was almost crushed to small bits by its large hand Lucy slipped and she fell onto the ground because she was afraid and while the mythal Golem was looking at
Lucy Elma started closing the distance between him and the monster and he reminded Lucy that the cave didn't allow the monster to fight them with its full potential however the myth Golem noticed that Elma was running at him and with its other hand it tried to smother him but this time Elma was able to use His Parry skill to deflect the monster's hand towards the wall where it completely got stuck from the impact Elma thought to himself that if the monster tried attacking him now his attack wouldn't be as strong as it normally would so
he tried to provoke it to attack him now Elma took his shield of M and started running at the huge monster the mythal Golem was forced to use his other hand to attack and Elma rushed at its attack with his shield Bash skill already prepared Elma knew that there was no possibility that he would ever push the mythal Golem back but what he wanted was to use his shield bash skill to send himself flying backwards something like an emergency evacuation plan but that was elma's plan alt together and he wanted to make the monster stick
both of his hands into the ground so that it couldn't move freely as it wanted and that's exactly what Elma was able to do Lucy realized that And she immediately used dice thrust roll the six and inflicted a Critical Strike on the monster which let out a loud cry the monster had lost more than half of its HP and while he tried to catch Lucy with his now freed hands Lucy was able to use her acrobatic steps skill to quickly and safely run away Lucy knew she had done a good job and she was was
really happy about it even Elma congratulated her and reminded her that only one more blow would kill the Mithil Golem suffering a Critical Strike wasn't exactly what the mythal Golem wanted and that made him even angrier now it swung its large hand towards Lucy who was practically paralyzed with fear but Elma had a plan for that as well Elma was quick to react and by using his shadow stomp skill he managed to stop the monster but that was only for a brief moment the moner seemed to start moving forward despite its movements being restricted but
it seemed that it Was too big and strong for Elma to stop it with just a stomp Elma realized that if he hadn't done anything that Lucy would end up dead so he stuck his sword into the shadow as well and he held back as much as he could and just barely Elma somehow managed to make the monster stop but that came with another downside the monster's attention was now shifted back to Elma who was wasn't very far away and Elma knew that he would have to break his shadow stomp to defend himself the Monster
turned his whole body back towards Elma and attacked him with his right arm and Elma was somehow able to deflect his attack to the side with his shield and the mythal Golem slipped and fell to the ground that was a perfect chance for Lucy and Elma told her to attack quickly Lucy focused as much as she could and she used her dice thrust but when she finally attacked the monster the number she rolled was a three and she didn't manage to hit a Critical Strike the monster felt a slight pain and while he was turning
around his arm made contact with Lucy and send her flying across the cave Lucy didn't seem to be hurt but she was sad that she hadn't trolled the six Elma knew that Lucy's special skill worked Solly on the principles of luck and chance and there was nothing they could do to change it but now the hardest thing was coming the mythal Golem would never fall into such a trap once again And it would almost be impossible to defeat the monster if it started to regenerate its HP with its automatic recovery Elman knew that their only
condition for victory was Lucy rolling a six with her dice thrust skill and Landing another Critical Strike and until that happened Elma had to do everything that was in his power to make them stay alive even though elma's HP was below 50% he used his life Shield skill to try and fight the mythal Golem Head on to attract its attention and and when the monster noticed him it turned around to attack him but ELO once again used his shadow stomp to slow down its movements and it was impossible to stop it because its attack was
heading towards Elma now Elma was happy with the fact that he managed to slow down its speed and thus reduce the impact of the attack that was coming and when the monster hit his shield Elma had already prepared his shield bash and the impact Served as evacuation once again and while the myal Golem was busy with looking at Elma that was sliding across the cave Elma shouted out to Lucy that she had an opening for the attack and Lucy wasted no more time and she went at the monster but she ended up rolling a four
with her dice thrust and the Critical Strike was nowhere to be seen Lucy was disheartened to see that her skill had failed her twice in a row but Elma encouraged her and told her not to Stop trying until she rolled a six Elma planted his feet into the ground and he managed to stop his sliding and he continued with his attack and started running back at the monster the monster met him with a strong punch but Elmo was able to use Perry to deflect however even though he did succeed at deflecting one of the arms
there was another one coming as well but elma's hand was completely numb and he had lost all feeling due to the gigantic strength of The mythal Golem Elma somehow managed to take out his shield of Madness and place it in front of him in the very last moment but the punch was so so strong that he was sent straight into the cave Wall El was obviously in a lot of pain but the biggest problem was the fact that he couldn't move and the mythal Golem wasn't shifting his Focus from him the monster walked closer to
Elma with the aim of finishing him once and for all and Elma thought that that would be The end of him is there was no possibility of dodging the next attack Elma closed his eyes but Lucy finally rolled the six and she landed a critical hit onto the mythal Golem and the only thing she could do was hope that it was enough to kill it the monster felt a sharp pain and after a brief moment it collapsed and fell dead on the ground Elma and Lucy leveled up and Elma congratulated Lucy on killing the monster
Lucy went to check how Elma was Doing and she felt sorry for missing twice in a row but Elma wasn't going to let her wallow after a great Victory and he told her that two sixes out of four tries was still very very lucky Lucy felt happier after elma's last comment and she helped him up she looked around and she found a huge Magic Stone that the mythal Golem dropped and Lucy thought to herself that it was so big that it would cost around 2 million gold entirely on its own but while Lucy was Thinking
about even stronger monsters and the adventurers that were hunting them for gold em was trying to lift something from the rubbles it took him quite a bit but he finally managed to lift a huge huge mythal Ingot the thing was so big that Elma had to hold it with both hands and it had a cute little symbol on it which made Elma a little bit confused because the monster itself was everything but cute but Elma saw the price and he said that the price as well Couldn't be cute at all as the market value of
a mythal Ingot was 25 million gold coins when Lucy heard that she lost her mind and she asked Elma whether that dungeon was in any way special because found item after item and all were extremely valuable Elma laughed and said that after defeating monsters as rare as the mithil Golem is it was inevitable that they would be compensated with something as valuable as the mithil Ingot and that was the only reason why Elma wanted to risk everything which wasn't really the smartest move but now they're fine so I guess it was okay Elma explained that
weapons made out of mithil were the best they could possibly hope for for their levels and even though it would be perfectly okay to sell the Ingot Elma thought that it would be best if they found a blacksmith that could Forge them a weapon from it Lucy was really hyped about that and Elma knew that they could only get one Piece of equipment and it could be either a knife a sword armor or a shield after giving it some thought Elma decided that it would probably be the best to get a knife for Lucy because
that increases their chance of killing monsters more easily and on top of that Elma felt like he was indebted to Lucy because she was the one that decided to get his smoldering Fang of Madness Elma looked at all the items they had farmed up until that point and their total Value was around 68 and A5 million gold coins and Ela was really happy that they managed to break their record from the Angels Toy Box dungeon he thought to himself that it maybe wouldn't be as hard as he initially thought to get a hold of the
special skill book for Lucy's crit build Elma told Lucy that they could go back to the city of Loria and it was only when they started to walk that they realized how deep they had actually gone Lucy was scared that They would be attacked by some other monsters and Elma told her that it should be okay as they had defeated the strongest monster after the dream Lord in the entire centipede pit which was the name of the current dungeon Elma said that the mythal Golem was possibly even stronger than the dream Lord and now that
they had defeated it and after their levels have gone up Elma thought that it would be fair to say that they could actually defeat the dream Lord as Well they walked for a little while and Elma told Lucy that there was actually a way to go back to the very entrance of the dungeon without having to walk and Lucy was surprised because she didn't know that but Elma reminded her that she knew what he was talking about and that the only way to do so was to defeat the dream Lord Lucy was both shocked and
scared because she wasn't really confident as Elma was and Elma explained that the dream Lord of that dungeon had Low movement speed and if they knew its attacking patterns they could defeat it without too much effort on top of that Elma said how he thought that the mythal Golem would be a much greater problem than it actually was and he thought that they were still in good shape to try and fight the dream Lord our protagonist also said that they had three health potions as well but he didn't think that they should use them just
yet Elma said that he would want them to return to Loria if he was forced to activate his half- dead Savage dragons kill when they fought the mythal Golem but as that wasn't the case Elma didn't really see a reason why they wouldn't try to defeat the dream Lord as well Lucy became more and more intrigued while she listened to what Elma was saying and she asked him to describe the dream Lord of that dungeon and Elma said that it was obvious that it was a centipede just like the dungeon name suggested the real Name
of the dream Lord was Rock stiped basically Pokemon Onyx and Lucy seemed to be a bit intimidated by the name because she started imagining all sorts of things and Elma told her that they should come back later to try and defeat it however Lucy promised Elma that she would keep up with him as much as she could and she shook her head to get rid of all the scary thoughts and she told Elma that she won't be intimidated by an insect that was just larger than usual I Mean I would argue that regular insect and
larger insect the same type of insect larger one is 10 times more scary when you see all the little legs and stuff like that now they walked over to the entrance to the dream Lord's room and before they went in there was something they needed to do and that was to spend their unused skill points Lucy took out her status menu and she decided that she was going to allocate her skill points into the Fool's acrobatic skill Tree and Elma told her that that was a good idea because she would unlock a skill that was
a crucial part of every Jester Arsenal regardless of their build and just as Elma said Lucy was very happy to see she unlocked a skill called Stan barrage Elma told her that she should be able to understand how the skill worked just by reading the description but that she should try it out nonetheless Elma gave her some advice on how to control herself while She used the skill and Lucy crouched down and she was ready to try it out for the first time Lucy tried it a couple of times but she thought that there was
an opening right when her skill was nearing its end and Elma told her that she just needed to get used to it and that she would later know when it would be best to use such a skill Elma also added that The Rock centipede had a weakness which allowed adventurers to attack it without being hit back and if they could exploit That they should be able to defeat it without a problem ELO was certain that there wasn't even the slightest chance that they were going to lose because of their levels and their knowledge of the
dream dream Lord but there was something behind those doors that they weren't aware of the rock centipede was a dream Lord that had a lot of Health points and great stats all around he was capable of attacking both at close range and from distance and his body was huge which Benefited a dungeon boss before they entered the boss's room Lucy commented how that was the deepest she had ever gone inside a dungeon and Elma explained that the embryo was actually a Wandering Lord and therefore they didn't have to go as deep Elma warned Lucy to
stay alert all the time because the fact that they could easily defeat the monster it was still gym Lord and they could never know what might happen with that being said Elma opened the huge doors and when They entered Lucy was blown away with how beautiful everything looked it was like a cave with a huge Lake inside with shiny Tac ties and stalagmites all around I mean I know these words on my language I know they're said the same on English I mean like spelling the way you pronounce it it's almost identical but I don't
know the pronunciation this is like my attempt to pronounce it correctly but I have no idea so please tell me down in the comments below What's the correct pronunciation now Elma noticed the dream Lord on the ceiling and he told Lucy that there was no time to admire the beauty of the place and just as he said that the rock centipede jumped from the ceiling into the lake and splashed water all around the monster was now at full display and it was level 60 with crazy 156 Health points Elma laughed and told Lucy to try
and bring it down as fast as they could so they could go back to Loria the Monster started running towards them and Lucy was a little bit disgusted by all of its legs and limbs Elma was waiting for the right moment and just when the monster was about to smash him he moved to the side and the Rock centipede ended up hitting a rock head on Elma commented how such a blow would be fatal and he told Lucy to hop onto his shield so he could Propel her with his shield Bash that's exactly what they
did and Lucy was sent flying all the way on top of The dream Lord because that was its biggest weakness it couldn't attack you and its attacking stats were greatly reduced the rock centipede became restless and Elma thought how that would buy them enough time to kill it now before the monster could do anything to get rid of Lucy from its back Lucy had already used her Stan barar skill and she started speeding and slicing away at the monster's back the monster was in a lot of pain and it started throwing Rocks towards Elma and
while he was hiding behind his shield he shouted to Lucy to use her skill once again Lucy listened to what Elma had just said and with another St barrage she killed the rock centipede and their levels had gone up once again Lucy commented that the mythal Golem was much harder to defeat or maybe it was easy to defeat the rock centipede because Elma knew its weakness our protagonist told Lucy to climb down from the dead monster but she told Elma How body was scorching hot and Elma didn't know the reason behind that he couldn't remember
a thing happening in the game when the monster's bodies were disappearing but it could be due to the Rock centipede size but Elma finally understood what was happening and he shouted out to Lucy to climb down as quickly as she possibly could because the monster wasn't dead yet Lucy couldn't really hear him from all the smoke and the sound that the supposedly Dead dream Lord was emitting and she ended up hurt when the heat finally erupted and she was sent flying Elma caught her but he was completely shocked with what just happened as that wasn't
possible in the game what actually happened was that the rock centipede a dream Lord had evolved right in front of their eyes we see Elma holding Lucy in his hands and he apologized to her for persuading her to fight the dream Lord when Lucy opened her eyes she couldn't Believe what she was seeing in front of her and that's her first time witnessing a monster evolution with her own very eyes Elma knew about Evolutions quite a bit and he knew that only some monsters were able to evolve in the first place on top of that
those monsters needed to meet certain conditions for their evolutions and those conditions varied from Monster to monster Elman knew about the condition that a rock centipede needed and they were the following it Needed to eat quite a substantial amount of magic stones and adventurous corpses and only when it was killed it would evolve there was nothing strange with that is that was normal for almost every dream Lord however those requirements were very hard for the monster to meet as it needed to consume a lot of Adventure and to be able to do that the dream
Lord needed to exit his boss room and become a wondering Lord Elman knew that that wasn't the case and that the Centipede pit had spawned just a couple of days ago and if there was a large number of deaths The Guild would put that on the notice board for sure it seemed that the rules were different in the real world than the ones that Elma remembered from the game but he thought that only viable explanation was that someone fulfilled all of those conditions deliberately for some reason but even that theory had some holes like why
would anybody do that in the first Place and Elma doubted that anyone knew about these conditions to begin with but what worried him the most was the fact that he and Lucy now had to fight an evolved dream Lord and it was all his fault Elma apologized for not being able to anticipate that and Lucy told him that they would be fine if they use the same strategy from moments ago but Elma told her that that strategy wouldn't work now as the dream Lord stats had gone through the roof and that they Could only try
using dice thrust to roll sixes and even that would take too long if they weren't lucky which meant that the risk of losing their lives was greater than ever The Rock centipede had evolved into a death armed monster whose level was 75 with a whopping 274 Health points which was almost double from his previous form the monster let out a loud Shak and while Lucy was scared to death Elma shouted to her to move as that streak always came before it attacked And just as Elma said that the monster went for the attack and Elma
was able to push Lucy to Safety in the neck of time the monster crashed into the stones but what would make it unconscious before now had no effect and Elma realized that it would be pointless to try and run as the monster would definitely catch up to them and finish them off elma's face showed clear signs of worry and anxiety too and he told Lucy that they might have only one small chance to defeat the Monster and he asked her whether or not she was willing to try it out they talked for some time and
even though we don't know the content of their conversation for now it seemed that they had reached an agreement but Lucy was still worried and she asked Elma whether everything would be okay our protagonist just stood there silently without saying a thing because he knew that to take down such a monster he would need to perform a special attack of the heavy Night class called the balance breaker and the look on elma's face told everything about that task's difficulty Elma had taken everything about the monster into account and he knew that their only chance of
ever defeating the evolved dream Lord was for him to reproduce the strongest weapon of the heavy KN class which wasn't an easy task at all Lucy saw how worried Elma was and even though she was more scared than he was she gripped her fists and she told Elma that she was going to do everything that was in her power to help him and even though Elma was scared as well he managed to smile and thank Lucy for her help Elma explained that because their levels were lower than that of the dungeon Boss by a lot
they would only have a single chance to try and execute that attack successfully y but while they tooked the monster started channeling a long range attack and Elma quickly told Lucy to take cover behind The rock they barely managed to hide when the monster fired off sharp Rock arrows at them which substantially damaged The Rock they were hiding behind Lucy was scared but she asked Elma what she could do to help him and Elma said that he was going to propel her behind the monster with his shield bash and what she needed to do was
to attack the monster steale when she saw an opening Elma believed that she can manage to do it and lose was determined to succeed Even once the monster was looking at two rocks and it knew that Elma and Lucy were hiding behind one of them and it was getting ready to headb one of them and the monster hesitated a bit because he needed to make a decision the very next moment with blinding speed it charged into one of the Rocks but luckily Elma and luy had changed their positions and when the monster lifted its head
from the rubble It could only see Lucy sitting on top of elma's Shield Of Madness ready to be sent through the air Elma used his Shield bash and Lucy was fired off like a bullet the monster noticed her and immediately started to go after her but Elma reacted quickly as well and he threw a Magic Stone in the air which ended up bursting in midair sending a barrage of needles at the dream Lord to make the monster focused at him their plan to get Lucy behind the monster worked but Elma knew that now he had
to fight perfectly to buy Lucy Enough time and to give her an opening the monster attacked him and Elma managed to dodge the attack and only then did he realized that his health points were below 20% and that he could activate his half dead Savage dragon skill that was his only trump card and Elma knew that if he were to make the slightest of Errors he would end up straight up dying there Elma was now face to face with death armed boss and even though he knew that his special Skill doubled his agility stats when
the dream Lord attacked him he managed to dodge the attack but Elma realized that the dream Lord was still way way faster than he was as a started chasing Elma he had no other option but to run now the monster nearly caught up to him when Elma found a smaller Gap in the cave where he could barely fit and he went for it and in the nick of time Elma managed to slide through and the death arm crashed into the cave walls as he Tried to push through them Elma barely escaped but the dream Lord
was persistent and with its incredible power it destroyed the wall and went through using its extraordinary force Elma knew he had to continue running away in search of such gaps and he was lucky to find another one that would slow the monster down even by a little bit that brief moment was enough for Elma to catch a breath he so desperately needed to be able to dodge the next attack that Came right after the monster was clearly raging with anger and there was no sign he was going to stop until it killed Elma but Elma
had his own reasons to keep fighting and he took the Magic Stone that exploded into a bright flash and threw it at the monster when the dream Lord recovered from the flash it turned around and started channeling its spell once again Elma knew that its death needles were flying at extreme speeds and His Life Shield would be Useless against them even if he got hit by only one of them even if it was just a tiny scratch that alone would be lethal and just when the monster was about to fire its special skill Elma ran
towards it as that was the only Gap he had to try to avoid certain death when he came close enough he jumped into the air and used his shield bash to propel himself behind the monster and the dream Lord ended up firing off its special skill into m space Elma had managed to Land on some high ground but the monster quickly realized its attack had missed its Target and it quickly turned its focus back to Elma Elma was a bit worried that the monster might have been too fast that time and that he was about
to be hit but Lucy followed the entire situation and she found an opening when the monster turned towards Elma its tail was exposed and luckily Lucy had rolled the six with her dice thrust and she managed to land a Critical Strike on the Dream Lord she was really happy about that but her face didn't show that at all because it was a life or death situation and the monster felt a sharp pain and it let out a deafening cry because of that Elma was really satisfied with the way Lucy was performing and he knew that
the tail was the only place that the death armed could take damage from as it whole body was completely covered in thick armor which was its greatest defense as their Positions were the complete opposite from the start of the fight Elma was now having The High Ground and Lucy was down on the same level as the monster Elma thought that they were in a perfect position to try and take down the death armed both Elma and Lucy were completely dialed in and they haven't given up yet however 100 ft of the death arm started moving
simultaneously and the monster shifted its head back towards Lucy which scared her to death the monster probably Figured out that it was her who attacked it and even though Lucy was happy she succeeded she didn't know what to do now because she was about to get attacked Elma quickly shouted out that she should try to run as fast as she could around the huge Boulder that was right next to her Lucy immediately started running and without turning back to take a look she could hear the monster coming after her Elma knew how fast the monster
was but Lucy had been lucky because she stood Right at the end of its tail and she had the advantage because of the boulder while Lucy was running around the boulder Elma used that time to hop from one Boulder to the next one in search for a perfect spot from where he could finally find the death armed weakness but Lucy was shouting like crazy she was near ing her body's limmit and she asked Elma for another piece of advice because she didn't know what to do now Elma realized that the boulder was just as Big
as the monster was long and that gave him an idea he saw that Lucy was just behind the monster's tail and immediately after Lucy the monster was rushing at full speed Elma quickly yelled out that Lucy should try to jump onto the monster's tail and try to use it as a base from which she could jump even higher into the air Lucy understood what Elma told her and that's exactly what she did the monster's Focus was solely on Lucy as he tried to split her In half with its sharp teeth the monster ended up biting
off its own tail because Lucy managed to jump in the very last moment as everything happened in an instant it took the monster a second or two to realize it had bitten off its own tail when the monster realized what just happened that's when the pain started to kick in and the monster let out such a cry that it ended up stunning itself Lucy was even too scared to see what happened but somehow she mustered up the Courage to peep out and she was completely shocked to see that she managed to do what Elma asked
of her Elma was very happy with the outcome and he realized that everything was up to him now and his face went completely serious Elma spent 10 skill points onto his smoldering Fang of Madness skill tree to unlock a skill called Relentless Vigor what that skill did was that he turned the users defensive stats to zero and converted all of that into attacking Stats the only downsides were that the user needed to be at least at 50% of his health points and while the skill was active it consumed Mana points all the while Elma explained
that because the defensive stats of other classes were really low no one ever thought much about that skill and it was considered a skill with extraordinary risks and minimum rewards but the skill was perfect for a heavy Knight that specialized in defense and what was even More special was that the effect of that skill was calculated before for the half dead Savage dragon skill that meant that the effects stacked up on top of each other and the stats would be doubled only when the defensive stats were turned into attacking ones and with those two skills
and elma's new equipment combined his attacking power was 277 points and I must admit that he looked really gigachad even Lucy was Completely shocked to her core while the dream Lord was still waiting Elma was determined to end the fight with one powerful blow elma's body but in with electricity and Lucy has never seen him like that Elma jumped off from his high ground and because his Mana points were rapidly decreasing he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep using his Relentless figure for much longer Elma was grateful to Lucy because she had led
him to where they were and while he was Flying towards the death armed Elma told to himself how none of its extraordinary stats mattered anymore but while Elma was midair the monster recovered from being stunned and Lucy was worried about Elma because the death armed immediately started channeling its death needle skill because it was done for quite a while and because he didn't have much time the monster was able to produce only one needle but even though it was a single needle it was going straight Towards Elma Lucy shouted out because she thought that it
was definitely going to hit him but Elma was calm and composed and he wait for the very last moment to move his head towards his left hand side Elma had calculated that perfectly and he dodged the needle with utmost Grace and by grabbing his black steel sword with both of his hands Elma Chuck the monster with full force his sword went through the death arms thick armor like it was butter and while the Monster was going through its final moments its body started glowing and imit in light the whole cave became bright for a brief
moment and the next thing Elma and Lucy knew was that the monster's head had been split from its giant body which meant that they had managed to defeat it it was just like Elma said and it really took him one strike to defeat the strongest monster they had faced up until this moment Elma realized his Relentless figer effect and Killing the death armed earned them 4,057 experience points which raised Elma level all the way from 54 to 62 he was really happy with their Victory and he joked how he would never gamble with their lives
and that he knew that they were definitely going to win and Lucy was still baffled with the f that Elma cut the monster's head off with a single blow I mean Bros usually in manga main characters are crazy op and I like it it's really fun to watch him defeat Everybody with no problem but reading a manga like this one every now and then where your main character isn't crazy op but he has to struggle and find a way to defeat monsters I like it it's kind of refreshing now back to the story as a
death arm's body started to disintegrate Lucy ran towards Elma to congratulate him on his amazing feat Lucy seemed really happy and even though Elma knew that the whole thing was over and that they were victorious he was still sorry That he failed to take the possibility of the dream Lord evolving into consideration and that led them to being in grave danger Lucy tried to explain that he shouldn't apologize because they have won and Elma thanked Lucy and said that she was just as worthy of Praise as he was Lucy was really happy and she even
imitated elma's amazing strike with her little knife and Elma explained that even though his Relentless vigor skill is powerful he was able only to use it That one time because the monster has been stunned and Lucy was the one responsible for that Elma also remembered that he would have died if his life Shield skill hadn't been active as well when the monster fired off that one death needle what ended up happening after Elma took down the monster was that he earned a title called The Nightmare killer and Lucy checked her status and she had it
too Elma explained that that was a really special title and That all almost no one had it because what they just managed to do was almost impossible the title is given out to adventurers that managed to defeat an evolved dream Lord and the effect that the title had for its users was a 7% increase in attack stats while the user fought against dream Masters Elma also explained that it was almost impossible to get one because no one in their right mind would battle against the dream Lord if they knew that it had met all the
Conditions for it to evolve and they had the bad luck of being the ones to see that that was the case with the rock centipede but in the end that title was their reward but Elma also added that they should quickly collect the magic stones and that they should prepare themselves to be teleported back to the dungeon's entrance while Elma was searching for the magic stones in the caves Lake it seemed that Lucy had found something much more valuable she shouted Out to Elma who was a bit confused as why Lucy was so excited and
then Lucy showed him that the dream Lord had dropped an what Lucy held in her hands was the death armed knife which was estimated at around 28 million gold coins on top of it being valuable the knife gave the user a big boost in attack stats and it even had a slight chance to poison the enemies Elma was completely shocked with another drop and even though he knew That Lucy's lock skill Ed their chances for rare drops Elma thought that they were really really lucky he also explained that the special poison effect that the knife
had was also affected by the user slack stats and that was a perfect weapon for Lucy because if the effect triggered when she used her stun barrage that would up their chances of Victory by a significant amount Elma thought to himself that he wouldn't need to go to a blacksmith if he had gotten a Similar weapon and Lucy was completely baffled with the weapon's price and she even wanted to get rid of it because she had never held anything more valuable than that and Elma had to stop her from doing so Elma knew that she
was only shocked because of the knives value and when they picked up all of the other magic stones that were dropped by The Dream Lord they were teleported back to the dungeon's entrance and from there it was an easy Journey back to the city of Loria when they arrived everyone looked at the two of them not because everyone knew that they had cleared the ctip pit pit dungeon no no no one was aware of that just yet the reason why everyone stared at them was the fact that Lucy was acting really sus because she couldn't
calm herself down after she realized how much money they had earned and Elma didn't know how to calm her down either their first and most important stop was the adventurers guild At Loria Elma went straight to the reception and he said that apart from wanting to exchange their magic stones for gold they also wanted to have a conversation with the Guild Master because something bad had happened the reason why Elma wanted to see the Guild Master was the fact that they had just fought and defeated an evolved dream Lord and Elma knew that the guild
had to know about that if there were a lot of dead adventurers in the last couple of Days and they needed to report that to the public to see and Elma was determined to point out their mistake to the entire guild Elman Lucy showed their ID cards and the receptionist wasn't really too amazed with the fact that they were a party of d rank heavy KN and the rank Jester the receptionist started talking to them in a humiliating tone and Lucy got angry on the spot but the receptionist lady just continued with her story of
how the city of Loria had The reputation of producing exceptionally strong adventurers for quite some time Lucy was still Fring and Elma told her that it would probably be better if he handled the talken part Elma knew that their request to see The Guild Master was a bit outrageous and he apologized for that but he asked the receptionist to just listen to what they had to say Elma said that the situation wasn't simple and that it would probably pass unnoticed if he was the one to Publicly announce it instead of the guil doing that the
reception is still looked down on them and she even call them Countryside adventurers and she said how she wasn't really happy with the idea of letting them see the Guild Master she added that it wasn't rare that the adventurers in their Guild earned millions of gold worth in just one reward and the last thing that the receptionist told them was that the Guild Master was too busy to make time To talk to two of them Elma was disappointed with her response but he was expecting something like that nonetheless and he reached out into his inventory
and took out the magic stones from their last Expedition and kindly asked the receptionist to inspect them and pay them their rewards after the receptionist finished with the inspection of the magic Stones she was completely baffled at the fact that they were worth somewhere around 10 million Gold she didn't know what to do and she asked them to wait a moment while she checked with the higher ups Elma and Lucy were taken to another room and they saw the receptionist talk to another guild staff member about their earned reward even though the reward had been
a large sum what ended up shocking the man the most most was the fact that they were both d rank adventurers Ela was content with the fact that they managed to get themselves an appointment with The Guild Master and he didn't really care how they achieved that the fact that the meeting was set was enough for him so he thought to himself that they would be subject to some procedures as it was almost impossible for d rank adventurers to earn that big of a reward but that didn't happen and they had even gotten an appointment
with the Guild Master that was a lady the receptionist took Elma Lucy to the guild Master's room and before entering she knocked on The door twice and informed a woman called Harlan that she had brought her to adventurers harling told the receptionist that there wouldn't be a problem and that she could open the door to let them inside and before they entered the receptionist apologized to Elma and Lucy for misunderstanding Elma and Lucy had been admitted inside and once they entered the room they saw a beautiful woman holding a folding fan in her right hand
The Guild Master harling Was a bit surprised to see a party consisting of a heavy KN and a Jester is that wasn't a site that could be seen that often harling asked the receptionist about them and when the receptionist said that they were d rank adventurers from Rond delm harling's facial expression completely changed for the worse the receptionist quickly tried to explain how they had just defeated the level 60 Rock centipede which wasn't something that the rank adventurers Usually did and that's why they seemed a bit special that piece of information in intrigued harleen and
as she folded her fan she sat behind her desk and told Elma that she was going to listen to what they had to say Elma was satisfied with the fact that they would get a chance to share their concerns but Elma was feeling a bit uncomfortable because harlene was a woman with extra ordinary observation skills and he felt completely naked in front of her like She knew all of his Secrets harlene said that defeating a dream Lord was sometimes even hard for C rank adventurers and the fact that they had managed to do that that
only meant that they wanted to go up in the ranking harlene said that Elma and Lucy were either rushing to fame or to their deaths and she asked Elma why he was so confident in the heavy night class and in his World Knowledge elma's anxiety was building up because harlene could See right through them and Elma initially thought that that's what it took to be a Guild Master in the city such as LA cornia but there was something that kept telling him that there was more to her than meets the eyes harlene also commented on
how Elma behaved and how elegant he looked which led her to ask Elma whether he was a noble or whether or not the Lord of rondel had a son that was around his age even though Elma was panicking inside Looking at him no one could tell but just a quick Glimpse at Lucy and everything would be crystal clear and with that being said Elma knew that there was no point in line as harlene would see right through them Elma introduced himself and Lucy and said how they lived through a strange occurrence in the ctip pit
pit and that they came to report about that both of them bowed down as to express thanks for Haren for choosing to listen to what they had to Say and she replied with introducing herself even though she wanted to ask Elma some other questions harlene also added that she was a distant cousin of the famous Maris heral Weds family and Elma thought to himself that her being a noble explained a lot of things it seemed that in the city of Loria the royal family had appointed one of their family members so they could be well
connected harleen congratulated them on clearing the dungeon and she commented How a lot of adventurers stayed away from it because of the rock stiped being the dream Lord Lucy mentioned how that was only the monster's primary form and as soon as harleen heard that her behavior changed and Elma knew that Lucy should have kept quiet about that Elma was a bit worried about telling harleen too much about the world because there was a chance that she might even know things from his previous life and the thing that scared Elma the most was the Fact that
harlene was only a part of the branch family and Elma thought to himself that someone from her family might have completed all of the conditions for the rock centipedes Evolution Emma thought how that was very probable because the Nobles wanted to find out how the world functioned and having a family member as the Guild Master made them manipulate the adventurers and change the real information Harlen was very sharp and She wasn't giving Elma enough time to think as she wanted to see what Elma wanted to talk about and after that Elma started suspecting that maybe
she was the person that was responsible for the dream Lord's Evolution Haring started taunting them by asking them if they had made their story up just so they could share a moment with her and she told Elma how she wasn't someone they could easily trick and while Elma was racking his brain by thinking about what she Meant by that he was completely unable to understand her true motives because ell was suspecting that Haren had her fingers in the whole thing he decided to just tell herlene what happened without expressing any concerns they had and he
ended up telling her how they ended up fighting against an Rock centipede and her lean didn't really seem that much affected having her that Elma also explained that that wasn't the only thing odd they saw but it was the most Concerning one because the centipede pit dungeon wasn't active for a long time and that's what he wanted to tell her in the first place when Elma tried to explain the evolution of the dream Lord harlene interrupted him by a loud shout she couldn't believe that such a thing happened because that dungeon had appeared just half
a month ago and Elma started suspecting that harling was acting but she continued to shout in a very concerned way and she wanted to Confirm their statements because she wanted to have a valid report but the way herlene was acting made Elma doubt his suspicion but he still had that option at the back of his mind because she was still a member of the Harold wed household Elma told her how what he had just said was the truth and harlene was now angry at her receptionist Matilda for not informing her of such a thing before
but in Matilda's defense that was her first time hearing that information As well but Matilda not knowing how big of a threat an evolved dream Lord could be asked Haren whether or not that was such a huge problem which ended up sending harlene into another crazy shouting spree she explained that it was a ginormous problem because a level 60 monster became a lot stronger it had gained around 20 levels in an instant and on top of that the monster was a dream Lord and that in itself was a reason for concern while Haren went on
To shout at her receptionist about the whole thing Ela wondered whether she was really acting this whole thing up Harin picked up her cup of tea but she dropped it which got Matilda by surprise harleen then turned towards Elma and she said how she was glad that they were able to get out and she wanted to ask them whether there were any other survivors and how many people have died and whether the dream Lord became a wondering Lord as well Elma and Lucy Stood there rather confused and Elma explained that they had already defeated the
monster on their own and even though Elma mentioned that in the it seemed that harlene didn't catch that information and she was once again blown away and left completely speechless while her lead was racking her head about how that could be possible for a party of two d rank adventurers who had mediocre equipment in one of the worst glasses Elma thought to himself how There was no chance that harlene had anything to do with meeting the monsters evolution conditions harlene asked Matilda about the Magic Stone and Matilda explained how she was the one to inspect
it and to stash it in the guils warehouse her was so lost and confused that she was reaching for the cup she had just spilled and Matilda had to remind her about what happened just a couple of seconds ago harlene took a moment to compose herself and told Matilda to fetch it for her and with it she meant the Magic Stone but Matilda asked her whether she thought about the Tea which angered herlene once again Lucy told Elma how they were scared of the meeting with the Guild Master but it seemed that there was no
need for that and her said that if the monster Was Defeated there was no need for special measures harleen said how they were an interesting party but she was still surprised with the fact that such a Thing had happened in the ctip pit pit Ella finally asked harleen if she maybe knew what could have possibly caused the monster to evolve and Haren said that she did have some suspicions but that she wasn't certified to talk about them but there was one thing that she was going to tell them and that was how there had been
an unusual large number of strange monsters in the Great Forbidden Forest lately Elma knew about that because that area was left Unsupervised for a long time and that's the reason why monsters were appearing outside dream holes but Elma asked Haren whether a similar thing happened around the cornea Haren complimented Elma on his quick wits but said that she couldn't say anything more on that matter she only added that she was going to take the matter very seriously and she thanked them for their report Elma and Lucy bowed down and Elma thought to himself that something
didn't add up and That the dream Lord's Evolution must have been designed by someone Haren was getting impatient and just then Matilda walked in the room carrying both the Magic Stone in the tea and harleen once again lost her composure because she never asked for another cup of tea Elma was happy that they had been able to talk to the Guild Master however that conversation didn't bear any fruit as they haven't learned anything new about the evolution of the dream Lord ELO was About to say that they were leaving when harleen stopped them and by
saying how she believed their story she wanted to say how she thought that they were really strong and because of that she wanted to promote Elma and Lucy to B rank adventurers which surprised both Elma and Lucy and Matilda the receptionist as well the receptionist asked harleen whether that would be an okay thing to do and harlene explained that even if it wasn't okay there could Be no one that could stop her because she was appointed as a Guild Master of Loria by the head of the royal family ELO was really grateful but he thought
that was a catch with what Haren had just said and that's why he asked her if she wanted something in return from them Haren explained that he was being silly and that she did that because it was her job to reward great adventurers like them as long as they kept working as adventurers harleen said how that was a Great thing both for the guild at Loria and the whole country and Lucy was really Amazed by those words harlene said that there was only one more thing she wanted to ask them and that was to offer
them a job at the guil because they were looking for more B rank adventurers and Elma explained that even though they were really grateful for their promotions they just couldn't accept working for anyone and they remained normal adventurers Elma and Lucy left the guild and as they were walking through the city streets Elma said that they should look for a blacksmith to see what they could do with a myal Ingot they've gotten but Lucy was a bit concerned about the fact that Elma was telling her to keep the special drop from the death armored Elma
explained that in addition to the knife being a really great item with great attacking stats he also added that it would be a great fit for Lucy because of The chance to poison their enemies which would really up their chances of defeating them in the future but even though that was all true Lucy couldn't stop thinking about how much delicious food they could eat if they were to sell it because the knife was priced at 28 billion gold coins at the market and Lucy reminded Elma that she was talking about delicious food plus the desserts
Elma said that they could find a restaurant to eat but before anything he Wanted to discuss something with her Elma asked Lucy if it was okay with her if they used both the mithil Ingot and the black steel ingot for elma's weapon and armor and Lucy said that she didn't mind one bit even though forging equipment from such materials wasn't going to be neither easy nor cheap Elma and Lucy were happy with the fact that their equipment was starting to look a lot more like highend endgame equipment Elma explained that it would be best if
They found a blacksmith with a high level because they had the most experienc but he wasn't really sure that they would be able to find one in the city of lacorne because it was the city of adventurers after all he also explained that for a blacksmith to be able to process such ingots that were dropped in dungeons the blacksmith would need a special skill tree and there wasn't a lot of them that were capable of doing that and that made such Blacksmiths even more valuable with that said Elma Lucy went through the whole city but
they weren't able to find any blacksmiths that were over the level 40 and on top of that they found out that the noble families hired all of the best blacksmiths for their personal needs after almost a full day of wandering the streets Elma and Lucy stumbled across one blacksmith but because the man was really hard to negotiate with Elma didn't actually end up making a deal With him and they left his Forge he explained how that blacksmith had a weird personality trait and that was when he was cranky or angry he couldn't accept any job
no matter how much money he was being offered their search for a good black meth had led them to the countryside and they came across an old and damaged shed assuming by the looks of it Elma didn't think that they would have any luck in there as well but Lucy went to knock on the door nonetheless She slid the door a bit and carefully said how they were looking for a good blacksmith named Mr Burger and she was interrupted by an old man that started shouting at her because he thought that she was someone else
that had been bothering him for a long time when Mr Burger raised his head from the job he was doing and saw Elma and Lucy he apologized for shouting and explained why he was upset the old man had quite a peculiar style he worked only in his Underwear and the only other garment or appal he had on him were his gloves and his boots I mean this kind of reminds me of Walter White when he started cooking for the first time now Elma thought to himself how he should approach the old man with extra care
and that's why he tried saying how he was sorry that a person of his caliber had to deal with a lot of strange adventurers that had even stranger tasks for him and that riled up the man even more Mr Berger was now Shouting at Elma for flattering him without meaning it and Elma realized that he would be a bit hard to make a deal with Mr berga explained that he was someone who took commissions from adventurers but there were two things he would never accept and those were young adventurers that were too proud of themselves
and thought they were high and mighty and the other thing were people who tried to say nice things to him without standing behind their words Mr Burger looked at Elma and he jokingly said that he had at least one of those two things he mentioned and El was a bit confused because he was shouted at for trying to be a bit more polite than he would usually be Lucia asked burga whether there was a certain Adventurer that was bugging him and berga explained that there was a mage Warrior that was rude to him and that
wanted him to make a sword the adventurer even said how money wasn't the problem but when Burger Thought about that he shouted even more and said how he wouldn't leave in such an old shed if he cared about money at all hearing that made Elma think how they would never strike a deal with Burger because he was a stubborn old man and when they said that they were leaving Burger said that they seemed clever enough not to let old men talk for too long and he told them to follow him elow wasn't really that interested
and he asked if Lucy wanted to go with Him and Lucy said how he probably only wanted someone to talk to but Berger said that he could perfectly hear what they were talking about and said that the choice was theirs after all they decided to follow and they were a bit impressed with the way his hidden Forge looked like Berg started saying how a lot of adventurers nowadays were relying on the quality of their equipment instead of on their abilities and skills and even if the Equipment was made by someone like him that was the
wrong way to go about things while berer talked Elma wasn't sensing an end to his story and he wondered for how much longer they would have to listen to him speak Burger realized that Elma and Lucy excelled in defense and Agility and that their classes were difficult to level up so he said how they might have made some improvements to their weapons because those could be bought but Berger said That that shouldn't be a reason for them to lose sight of their goals and try to reach great success at high risks Elma knew that burger
was only giving them a warning by saying all that but Elma said that they came there with a job offer and they wanted to present it to burga burer thought to himself how he wouldn't change his mind but Elma took out the mythal Ingot and placed in front of burger by saying how he wanted a sword to be made out of that Ingot upon seeing It Burger became a bit confused and after closely inspecting the Ingot he realized that it was indeed mithil Burger thought to himself how he couldn't back away from such a task
as he was a blacksmith after all but that would also be against his beliefs of working for unworthy adventurers and he decided that he couldn't accept the job as it was Elma wanted to show burga that they weren't just all talk and he explained how they managed to defeat the Mythal Golem on their own and how they were B rank adventurers Burger thought to himself that if they manag to do such an amazing feat with their current equipment that there might be something special about them and he told them that they barely passed his test
with the accent on barely barely pass the test Lucy and Elma were delighted by the old man's words and Lucy reminded Elma how they could even give him the special Rune of Destruction so Burger could Infuse it into the sword and when Burger saw how rare the items they had were he thought to himself how he had a big project in front of him now he commented how it was good that Elma decided to change his poor equipment and that they finally managed to make a deal Burger was going to forge a mythal sword with
an embedded Rune and black steel armor for a total of 4 million gold as that would take a couple of hours to complete Elma and Lucy went through lorus famous Sites and even when they were enjoying the time they had they were focused on Gathering all sorts of informations and after some time they came back to Burg Forge and they found that his door was open when they came nearer they could hear that burger was being shouted at because he wasn't going to sell elma's sword Elma and Lucy realized that they might have a problem
and they quickly entered Burg's shed and they were ready for a fight but when they entered they Could hear the person talking but they couldn't see him and Elma thought that it was a special skill and the Mage Warrior made fun of both Elma and burger because he thought that Elma was a weak Adventurer and that after all Burger accepted the job as even he needed money after all it turned out that the reason why Elma couldn't see the Mage Warrior wasn't due to a special skill but rather because the Mage Warrior was a childlike
girl and she was angry because she Thought that Elma was making fun of her height Elma realized that she must have been over 15 because she had clearly gone through the divine blessing ceremony and the girl said that she was 17 years old why are they always on the age limit of me going to jail and me being a perfect upstanding normal C citizen the girl clearly pissed off asked Elma and Lucy if they had never heard of a spellblade called black flame blade Elma did hear that name while they Were collecting information throughout Loria
and it seemed that that Spell blade was one of very few a rank adventurers the little girl finally introduced herself as the number one disciple of black flame blade and that her name was Hildy but her introduction didn't Amaze Elma that much much the girl thought to herself that it was good that Elma was there because she thought that Elma would agree on selling his mythal sword but Elma kindly declined Hildy tried saying how she would pay him 30 million gold which she thought would be enough for someone like Elma but Elma kindly explained that
he didn't care about the money and he wasn't going to sell his mythal sword to anyone that angered Hildy and she even Drew her sword at Elma who had to quickly Dodge her strike Lucy was scared and Hy really wanted that sword the she was willing to draw blood for it and Lucy asked her if maybe she was normal or maybe insane Even though hilly was acting like she was holding back her power Elma told her that attacking people by surprise didn't show any skill whatsoever that angered Hy even more and she challenged Elma to
a duel if he was willing to bet his mystal sword Elma wanted to know what was in it for him and Hy said that if he won he could keep the sword and that she would even pay him the full market price of the sword as well Berger tried to warn Elma that he shouldn't accept the Challenge as spellswords excelled in one-on-one dels but Elma was fine with her conditions and he accepted her challenge Lucy was really shocked to hear that and she tried to explain to Elma how even she was aware that spell swords
couldn't be beaten in one-on-one fights Elma said that Hildy pissed him off quite a bit and he wanted to make her pay and Hildy said that she would bring an official from The Guild so everything was completely legitimate and When Hildy went to fetch some someone from The Guild that would observe the whole thing Elma Lucy and burga went outside to wait for them Elma used his life Shield skill and burer didn't understand why he would use it outside of battle and Elma confused him even more by saying that the reason was Health points management
Lucy realized that Elma was going to rely on his half- dead Savage dragon skill and Elma explained that it would be pointless if He used Relentless figure because increasing his attacking stats by that much would be an Overkill and because a spell sword could attack him from distance with magic attacks so making his defensive stats zero also wasn't a really good idea that was one of the reasons why spellswords were great Fighters but they could also use their weapons really well Berger reminded Elma that he still could back off but Elma hated the way Hildy
behaved so he wanted To make her pay and for the first time Lucy was afraid of the way elma's face looked like with that being said Hildy came back fuming with anger and she brought Matia the reception with her and after everyone was present the battle was about to start elen was aware of the fact that for a heavy night fighting a spell swword was the worst possible situation they could be in because spellswords could use both long and mid-range attacks and they were good in Close combat as well but Elma thought to himself that
if he could somehow endanger the one predisposition hild he had that he could win the fight then so he had something he wanted to ask Matilda before the fight started and Matilda asked him what it was Elma wanted to know what would happen if one of the participants in the challenge gets injured as that was a probable outcome in a fight like that Matilda explained that the guild knew that very Well and they thought that adventurers had to be aware of the risks when they propose or accept such challenges and that if Elma was scared
he could still cancel the whole thing but Elma said that he wasn't afraid or anything he just wanted to make sure that he wouldn't be punished if he were to injure or maybe even possibly kill Hildy Hildy didn't let herself be affected by what she thought was a provocation from elma's side and with that all being said The fight was started by Matilda Hy immediately went after Elma but Elma scared her off by using his life Shield to lower his health points and by casting half dead Savage dragon immediately after H never saw such a
skill and Elma gripped his sword a bit more tightly and used his Relentless figure as well Lucy was shocked that Elma used it even though he said how it would be too dangerous and H was thinking both about elma's skill and Lucy's reaction but she reached out her hand and started channeling her own skills and she wanted to fight the whole battle from distance however Elma had thoughts of his own as well and he raised his sword which scared Hildy because she could sense immense power coming from Elma the very next moment Elma Unleashed a
devastating attack that was still controlled as the attack stopped right before killing Hill and both Hildy and everyone else were Completely shocked by what they saw Hildy backed away because that attack scared her but Elma calmly walked towards her which scared her even more Elma was dead serious and he the sensed that his power was out of her league and that made her even drop her own weapon however it didn't seem that ELO was going to stop and Hil started shouting how she was given up and admited defeat that was the predisposition Elma talked about
the spell sword was a safe class As long as they could keep distance and they tried to keep their safety by attacking with long range attacks Elma knew that if he could somehow endanger hild safety that she would give up and that ended up being true after all everyone was still stunned by what they had seen and Elma asked Matilda if she could declare the winner of the fight and while Hildy was still on the ground Matilda declared Elma as the winner Hy was fuming with rage because Elma didn't Stop when she asked him to
and Matilda felt respon possible to say that she observed the whole fight and that H didn't have a valid argument to start another fight or want a rematch and that if she didn't comply with agreed conditions The Guild would take appropriate measures against her Hildy knew that perfectly well and she only asked Elma if he would lower the BET to 20 million gold from the initial 30 million but Elma wasn't even thinking of Doing something like that burga had also something important to say and he showed the mythal sword to Elma and said that it's
price wasn't 30 million gold and that everyone should take a look at it for themselves when Hildy saw the real price of the sword she went crazy the real market value of the mythal sword was 515 million gold and she didn't want to pay that much so she went down on her knees to give Elma to to beg Elma to beg Elma to settle on 40 million gold Elma felt zero compassion towards her and Lucy said how she started to feel her pain now after two days when Elma and Lucy went to visit the guild
Matilda told them that Hildy had paid the 50 million gold she owed them and Elma was surprised with how fast the whole thing went Matia then explained that when the guild was involved into something they had their own ways to make adventur spay when Elman Lucy started leaving the Guild Hildy caught up to them and she shouted that she would get her money back from them and in her hands she was holding some beginnner equipment and Elma realized that she had to sell her weapon and as they didn't want to deal with her once again
they tried not to pay any attention to her but hild just wouldn't let them get away someone behind Elma and Lucy asked Hildy if Elma was the heavy Knight to whom she had lost her money and Hildy said that Elma Was indeed the one and that he tricked her the person that H was talking to was a lady whom she called master and she looked really graceful I'm not going to lie Elma could also feel a difference in the atmosphere and he thought to himself that she could really be the black flame Blade the lady
said her name was K and that she was an a rank Adventurer and after Hildy told her what happened a wish to meet Elma was born inside of her and Kos wanted to know whether or not Elma really tricked her Elma realized that Kos was the real deal and she held up to her reputation and Elma knew that he couldn't battle her and leave to tell the tale so he decided to say everything as it happened after K listened to what Elma said she struck Hy on the head and she told Elma that she knew
that it was probably due to a duel or something similar Callos felt the urge to be harsh with Hildy but she managed to stop herself as Not to hurt her feelings Callos apologized to Elma and Elma said that he could have easily declined her challenge but he wanted to earn some quick Buck kis explained that when she started out as an adventurer she was all on her own and that helped her to learn how to judge people and in her opinion Elmo was a good person and ELO felt a bit uncomfortable after hearing that Kel
told Elma that even if he thought of giving H her back that he should keep it As hilly would never learn from her mistakes until she suffered a bit but that wasn't the only reason why Kos wanted to meet with Elma and because the other matter was a bit delicate Callos asked Elma and Lucy to join them for lunch they woke to a nearby Tavern and when they got their food Kos explained how a lot of strange Monsters made all sorts of problems around La cornea all sorts of disasters were present monsters would Escape dungeons
that just appeared A lot of monsters started evolving more often which was highly unusual and Kos doubted that all of that was a coincidence so she went through a couple of dungeons to do her research Elma asked Kos if she had been to the centipede pit and Kos explained that she went inside but that she wasn't able to clear the dungeon like they have because of a something called the dungeon pool a dungeon pool was the most feared disaster in whole world and that's when An unbelievable number of monsters gather at one place for some
reason things like that happen rarely but Elma confirmed his doubts that something or someone must have been triggering these events Elma also knew for a fact that these problems would only increase in the future and that there would be less and less space for humans to live in Lucy thought that Elma was exaggerating things way too much but K said that she shared his opinion and that Elma was Right with that being said Kos went straight to business and she finally said why she wanted to meet them the main reason was that she wanted to
invite Elma and Lucy to raid a quest in a dungeon called the cemetery of Soros which Kos all also failed to clear by herself Lucy asked Elma about his opinion and even Elma was a bit hesitant to accept because the situation wasn't really usual he thought about everything and he knew that Hildy wouldn't be Making problems because she respected her master and on top of that because of all those problems happening Elma thought that the only person who could do something to stop them was himself because he was the only one that had memories of
the place from playing the game in his previous life and with that being said Elma accepted Call's invitation and Hildy was also hyped up to be able to fight alongside her master once again but Kos joked with her by Saying that she could rest if she wanted everyone prepared themselves for the raid and with a huge party they came in front of the entrance to the cemetery of Sorrow everyone looked dead serious and they all understood the gravity of the situation El was really surprised with the number of highlevel adventurers that Kos was able to
gather on such a short notice and Elma knew that there were two factors that helped her do that the first one being in the Guild of a large City like Loria and the second one was the fact that everyone respected her because she was an a rank Adventurer Hildy asked Kos whether they really needed all those adventurers and she thought that they would be okay with just a couple of healers and Kos explained that it was quite possible that things might have gotten worse in the meantime and she just wanted to make sure to up
their chances for Success other adventurers noticed that Hildy was Wielding a sight and they started asking each other if she had also acquired the necessary skill tree for that weapon Lucy also asked Elma why Kos would take kill the as her disciple is there were many others she could choose and Hy got angry at her after hearing that Kos interrupted them and she explained that she hadn't really thought Hy a lot of stuff and said that the spell sword class was really strong on its own but even though that may be the case the Spellswords
more often than not got into disputes with other party members because they relied heavily on their attacking capabilities Callos explained that if she were to leave Hildy on her own it was quite probable that she would end up doing something rather crazy Elma also remembered that spell swords behaved like that in the game as well but Kos continued with her story she knew that Hy was impatient and she admitted that she was impatient when she First started out as well but if one remained like that the whole time it might be the case that they
failed to see the bigger picture after a while Kos explained that she suffered a lot when she was younger and she wished to have had someone who could show her the way and that was the main reason she allowed Hildy to stay alongside her that story made Hildy really happy and everyone was content and Elma joked that it would be ideal if Hildy learned even one thing She was being thought the party had walked into the cemetery of Soros and Lucy told Elma that by looking at Callos the way she was now she could never
imagine her being as violent as Hildy and Elma said that she probably said that not to make Hildy feel bad Kos warned everyone to stop and she proclaimed that the enemies were coming their way just as she said that a ginormous pack of mad wolves that were level 52 started running at them at full Speed and they weren't the only monsters there Callos told everyone to ready themselves as the fight had just started everyone started fighting off the Mad wolves and after a while Elma noticed that Lucy was attacked by one of them but Lucy
was able to slice it up and on her first try she ended up poisoning the monster in the magic World whenever somebody got poisoned their movement dropped by 10% and as Lucy got ready to finish the monster someone had already Shot it down with an arrow to the Head Lucy turned around to see who it was and it was one of their party members wielding a bow Elma shouted out that they should slowly work their way through the monsters and the fight lasted for quite a while but in the end they ended up defeating all
of the monsters and Elma thought to himself how that was a really hard battle straight from the beginning even though they hadn't even entered the dungeon that was Only its entrance but there was one thing ELO was happy about and that was the fact that he was fully equipped thanks to Mr burer and no one dared to call him a beginner heavy Knight anymore they walked further into the cemetery of Soros and Elma asked Lucy if she was happy with her new weapon and whether she was all right because he saw her get a bit
of damage from the previous fight Lucy explained that she only got carried away by the whole situation and that she Was right but she also wondered whether she should drink a health potion just as she said that someone behind her used a healing skill and Lucy turned around to Express gratitude and the little girl that casted the magic introduced herself her name was mapel and she was called to the party because she was a priest class and excelled in healing she was a c rank Adventurer and looked forward to working with her seniors Elma felt
really happy with the way Mabel behaved herself and Elma said that they had just recently got it promoted and he added that he was a heavy Knight and that Lucy was a Jester Elma was really glad that they had a priest on on the team and the guy that shot down the poisoned mad wolf with his Arrow said how they shouldn't spend Mana potion so carelessly Elma got really irritated by that comment and he told him that the only way to fight such a large group of monsters was to attack them headon and even if
the man knew Anything better he should try not to spoil everyone's mood the Archer said that Elma wasn't aware of the fact that that was going to be a long long raid and that their expedition wasn't just clearing but also investigating this dungeon the Archer also called Elma New and told him not to rush like a madman always Elma knew a lot of people that were just like that Archer and they were the people who only wanted to take advantage of a situation and intimidate Everyone so they could have some benefit a lot of Hunter
class players and adventurers behaved like that and Elma didn't like the way the hunter looked down on him the Hunter went to the dead monster and said that the rule of thumb was that whoever landed the killing blow gets to take the loot Lucy mentioned that the drops heavily depended on her as well and Elma didn't like that my dog started barking in the background no Elma didn't like that guy from the start He resembled the Cent guy from the beginning of the story Elma told Mabel that she shouldn't pay much attention to him as
well but Mabel seemed to have known how to deal with such adventurers and she said that if she were to cut back on healing him a bit he would quickly change his opinion and behavior Mabel added how she really wanted to get along with Elma and Lucy and they continued their way to the D D's entrance they finally came to a Destroyed church that had the dream hole in front of it and Elma knew that they had arrived Callos explain that they would split into five groups so they could gather as much information as possible
and that they would regroup in the center that dungon was special because it was always randomly generated and the path seemed divided according to the info The Guild had Kos explained that as soon as they gathered enough information they would go after the Dream Lord and that the rewards would be evenly split amongst everyone and that everyone would also get a bonus from The Guild it seemed that Elma and Lucy got paired with kelt the hunter class Adventurer from before and Mabel the priest Mabel was really happy and kelt acted like he did a couple
of moments ago so be the same douche pack mael suggested that they may K the leader of their group but Mabel wasn't as foolish to blindly follow his orders and she Kindly said how she would try to save as much Mana potions as she could Lucy was surprised with Maple's words and Elma knew that they had to keep kelt in check somehow they entered the dungeon and inside it seemed like a church in Ruins with caskets and statues all around Lucy was already afraid of the whole place and she said that my dog isn't stopping
barking I mean you saw the dog reveal yesterday if you didn't if you want to see how it looks like you can go to one Of my previous videos you will not miss it the thumbnail is literally my dog but if you see this is going to be the last time you see because I'm going to eat him right now anyways back to the story Lucy said that she could never find anything sus as everything she could see looked sus to her Elma said that they should pay attention even to little details on the statues
and that if they were careful enough they could find a clue Mabel added that their main point Was to defeat as many monsters as they could and that they shouldn't rely focus on investigating as they weren't Scholars and Lucy liked that idea while they walked through the church's hallways Kell told Elma to walk a bit more further in front of them so he could take all the incoming damage El hated the way Kell behaved but he didn't say anything because his argument to defend Mabel who was their healer was solid and not too long after
they had Come across their first monster in that dungeon the first monsters they came across in the cemetery of Sorrows were mommy Lenas four of them to be exact Lucy recognized that they were frogs and she asked Elma whether they shared any of the characteristics with the golden Lenas they defeated earlier but Elma replied how these were much more dangerous and with that being said the level 50 five Lena started attacking them one of them jumped past Elma and Was going towards their backline where Mabel and kelt were and Elma used Shadow stomp to stop
it before reaching them but while he was busy with that one another one attacked Elma he noticed that attack as well and while he was still maintaining his shadow stomp he turned around like a gigachad with the other foot and used seal B to send the Frog flying Elma immediately called out to Lucy and Lucy already knew what she needed to do and she stabbed the frog That Elma sent across the hallway kelt was surprised with how well Elma foot and because there were four frogs in total mbel said that she would use one of
her attacks but kale told her to preserve her Mana points and he ran past her to meet the frogs Mabel tried warning him that Hunters worked best from AF far and if he closed the distance between himself and the enemy he could get into some big trouble however Kel didn't listen to her and he Continued moving forward before firing one Arrow straight into ala's face however Elma saw that and he shouted that the undead type monsters couldn't be knocked back and Elma added how he couldn't protect kelt if he was so close to the monsters
but kelt wasn't surprised at all that the Frog wasn't knocked back and he was actually ready he took out his pocket knife and stabbed the Frog wounding it once again and he even kicked it before falling back to His original position kelt ordered Lucy to finish the L he attacked and Lucy killed it with her Stan barrage skill and she earned herself 639 experience points kelt felt bad about that because he wanted to take down at least three of them and Elma realized that he was so selfish that he wanted to take all the jobs
and XP by himself and that it wasn't a surprise that he was a b rank Adventurer in a world where selfishness was actually Uploaded but as Kel was focused on the L that Lucy finished off another one was behind him and it seemed it was channeling a skill and when kelt noticed it it was already too late the monster used its poisonous fluid Cannon and the the attack ended up hitting kelt on the shoulder he immediately shouted at Mabel to heal him but she said that she couldn't do it at the moment which made kelt
Angry Mabel explained that poison heel took much longer to cast and she Said how she needed to take care of healing Lucy first because she might die but kelt was so selfish that he insisted that he be healed first Mabel then used his arguments against him and said that she would lose a lot of Mana points if she decided to heal him first and that wouldn't be good for their expedition Kel tried to win Mabel over to his side by saying how he would take all the blame if anything bad happened and Elma realized that
Kel was trying to persuade Mabel to abandon her role as the group's healer and basically to only heal him but Mabel wasn't given in and she explained that it was her role as a Healer to decide who needed to be healed and in which order and she was the one to take responsibility for that she said that she would heal everyone but she was the one to decide when and where and was happy to see that she could stand up for herself and as Lucy was commenting how kind Mabel was Elma remembered how mean She
was when she said that she was going to make Kel suffer a bit Elma and Lucy finished off the other three mommy Lanas and earned themselves quite a bit of experience points and kelt was angry that they took them all down Mabel was daunting him without him being aware and when kelt turned around Mabel acted like she didn't do a thing Mabel ran towards Elma and Lucy to see how they were holding holding up and they were all right and when Elma said that he would Rather drink a potion than to make her use her
Mana points Lucy called Elma to collect the magic stones from the lannas Lucy also noticed an item among the magic stones and kelt was surprised by the drop rate of the items the item in question was a zombie mushroom whose price was around 40K gold coins and Lucy felt a bit grossed out by the item and El explained that it was probably used in alchemy Kell decided to speak out once again and he told me That he had underestimated her and that he was aware of her plot against him Kell told her that she wouldn't
like to be enemies with someone like him and Elma was waiting to see where kelt was going with that but mapel had enough of him and she bursted out with a raging speech she explained that she was the one responsible for keeping everyone alive and with that being said healers had a lot of responsibilities during a raid which was as big as theirs and Because of that even the guild decided to give them a special reward this special reward is called we don't have enough healers so we're going to give you an incentive to become
a Healer Mabel explained how all of their lives were at risk and because she wasn't questioning the way kelt was doing his things she asked him to respect hers Mabel was almost on the verge of tears and Kell told her that she shouldn't cry and that he wouldn't bother her anymore Kell shouted at Elma and Lucy to get going and before anything else Elma tried to call Mabel down by saying how such situations were common and that she shouldn't take it by heart that much but when Mabel raised her head from her hands she was
smiling and she told Elma and Lucy that it was a rule for healers not to show their true emotions and she signaled them not to say anything to Kel and Elma realized she was much tougher than what they thought of her they Walked further into the dungeon and his kelt was looking at the map that the guild had provided them with he was a bit angry with how confusing everything was I get this feeling every time I start playing a new game everything is giga confusing but as soon as you play for at least 2
hours hours everything is giga clear now ELO was aware of the fact that a lot of monsters had already escaped the dungeon and that the long path that they were taken wasn't as Necessary as the guild thought the map had a path that they should follow but nothing made sense because they could simply bypass a lot of those areas kelt also thought that the map was a bit stupid and he told everyone to take the shortest rout to the meeting point Elma opposed his suggestion as that would mean that they were abandoning the mission and
Kel said how choosing a safe route wasn't a bad thing because it would ensure to stay alive Mabel also Said that they could maybe agree upon a course of action that would still followed the mission with leaving out some areas unexplored and Elma agreed that certain points on the map looked kind of sus and he decided to leave decision- making to kelt and Kel told him that he should have behaved like that from the very start they continued their expedition and as kelt was giving them orders on where to turn Elma noticed that he was
changing his orders And that they have been going around around in circles for quite a while and Kell shouted out how it wasn't his fault that the map was so awfully drawn Elma tried to ask Kel if they could go back onto the original path and Kel took that as an insult and he shouted that they were turning left and that that was going to be their course of action there was nothing they could do without starting a fight with Kel so they ended up listening to him and after they Turned left they came across
a huge room that looked rather scary the walls were decorated with shelves full of SK and everything felt Eerie Lucy was completely afraid and Elma was also anxious even though he remember such rooms from the game and they were rather common however Elmo was afraid that they might run into some other monsters and he said that it would be better if they turn back before anything bad happened he realized that it wasn't solely Kell's Fault for getting lost because the map The Guild gave them was drawn after some testimonies of other adventurers and it was
normal that they had different memories not nothing seemed to happen except Colt losing his mind because of the map and he finally decided that they would turn back to the original path Elma suggested before they even ended up in that scary room Elma thought to himself that even if they went back to their original path they were also bound To come across some other problems as well but even if that ended up happening Elma hoped that nothing bad would happen but while kelt was blabbering about the Guild's map and how bad it was he started
exiting the room while the others stayed back and Elma told him that it would be best if he stayed behind like they did before and Kell started yelling at Elma for being slow Lucy was joking with Elma with some comments about kelt being selfish as he Was from the beginning but it seemed that kelt caught something with his ear he told everyone to keep silent for a moment and he informed them that a monster was coming towards them everyone immediately took their fighting stances and chew enough a scary silhouette could be seen at the door
the monster stepped into the room and it looked G GA scary a jacked body without a head and with additional arms with swords in each one Kel seem ready to take on whatever Monster came but when he saw this monster in front of him he was as intimidated as Lucy was so the monster was a level 67 three armed Grim Reaper and it was also a patchwork Undead type monster and Elma explained that that monster always appeared in the cemetery of Sorrow he explained how that monster normally roam the dungeon in search of adventurers and
the fact that the monster stumbled upon them despite the fact that 20 adventurers entered the Dungeon in total and Elma only blamed it on the fact that they were unlucky he knew that Patchwork monsters were extremely slow and the best way to fight it was to not fight it at all and to Simply run away from it but that wasn't possible because the only exit was the entrance where the monster stood on top of that Elma and Mabel were slow due to the qualities of their classes and with everything said there was nothing to do
right now but to fight the monster and Kill it Elma shouted at Kel to quickly go and stand behind him but kelt wasn't budging because he had other ideas he said that the only reason why they were in such a situation was the fact that Elma was slow in the first place and with that being said ELO realized what kelt was thinking kelt crouched down and in two steps ran past the monster and it was evident to everyone else now my bro was flee he shouted out that it was the best course of action if
at least Someone survived and he urged Lucy able to try and Escape if they could but what Kel didn't know was that another three armed GM Reaper was there as well and when he saw it he understood that fleeing wouldn't be possible and that for some reason his pants got kind of soiled to put it mildly kelt ended up standing in between two monsters and as he was Frozen with fear one of the monsters ended up slicing him across the belly and kelt felt on the floor in Sharp pain and with blood gushing out of
his stomach Lucy was surprised and made people knew that the matter had just gotten way more serious and Elma realized that there were two monsters probably due to the monster pool that they came to inspect and all the while kelt was on the ground in excruciating pain Elma asked Lucy if she could distract the reaper that was targeting kelt and he asked Mabel to try and heal him as soon as she could Mabel said that Such a thing would be impossible with another Reaper on the way and on top of that if he was to
be healed Mabel said that he would simply run away once again and that because of that the they should just ignore him like he ignored them when he tried to escape Elma told her that even though he was a selfish bastard he hadn't still done a crime that he needed to be punished for and that they needed all the help they could get he explained that he couldn't Guarantee that kelt would fight on their side if he was healed but they just needed to try because he was certain that they would be able to fight
off and kill the two monsters Elma took command of their group and Mabel didn't really mind that but she didn't understand how Elma thought they would be able to save kelt as another green reaper was on them and Lucy shouted out elma's name as she ran towards him Elma knew what they were about to do and he prepared his shield To use Shield bash to propel Lucy all the way to the back Lucy flew straight past one of the three armed green Reapers and just when kelt was about to be killed Lucy managed to slice
the monster first to draw its attention to herself the monster having three hands and being extra sensitive immediately attacked Lucy but she managed to jump away from the monster by using her acrobatic steps kelt couldn't believe that they were trying to save him after Everything and Lucy explained how it was elma's kindness that was keeping him alive Lucy explained that Elma never cared about whether he was friends with someone or not if somebody needed help he was certainly going to help because he was simply like that and he couldn't help himself but Lucy warned Kel
that she wasn't as kind as Elma and that she would throw her poisonous knife at kelt if he tried running away once again kelt was in a lot of pain but he was also Completely shocked by and Afraid of the fact that they needed to fight not one but two green Reapers Kell thought to himself how they would never be able to win and Mabel agreed with him because she thought that the monsters were way stronger than them however Elma explained that he would fight one of them alone and that Mabel should run to help
kelt and Lucy fight the other one Mabel wasn't really sure that Elma could manage do that but Elma said that that Was his main role as a heavy Knight and even though Mabel tried protesting once again Elma shouted at her to shut her mouth and just go he explained that it was a much bigger problem to let Lucy fight a GM Reaper on her own with another responsibility of covering kelt and Mabel finally listened to him Mabel said that they were going to hurry up and kill the other monster so they could return back to
help Elma and with that being said she ran past the GM Reaper However the monster turned around and tried going after her but thanks to elma's Shadow stomp he was able to stop the monster and make it stumble and fall onto the ground so Elma stood over the monster now while proclaiming that he was going to be the one to bring it down he attacked the monster with his mythal sword but the monster had three swords to defend himself with and that's exactly what it did the monster blocked with one of its swords and Elma
started Counting them up and that was the first one the second one was an attack which Elma barely managed to dodge and lastly came the third sword with a powerful swing that Elma blocked with his sword but that wasn't everything even though the monster had three arms and three swords it had another attack that it was already channeling and it seemed that Elma was ready for that one as well out of the monster's chest it fired a skill called the death sword which felt like a Real sword and Elma gripped his mythal sword even more
tightly and he somehow Ed up parrying the skill and keeping himself alive Elma knew that such a skill was so powerful and quick because it was used in close combat Elma explained that every three armed Grim Reaper had those four attacks despite not having four arms and Elma didn't really like the fact that they had to fight such monsters on their own he quickly shouted out to Lucy to give her A piece of advice he told her that she should try and always stay on the monsters left side and not to stay in one place
for more than a mere second Elma said that she should let Mabel and kelt handle the attacking part of the plan as soon as kelt was healed and that she should just keep running and dodging and that is exactly what did and when it looked like she was being cornered with nowhere to run away she used her acrobatic steps to climb the wall and Jump behind the monster and she even performed a backflip while she was hovering in the air about the monster Lucy told Elma that she would give it her best to listen to
his orders she kept running until kelt finally came around and decided to help them even though he was paralyzed with fear and he fired off some arrows into the back of one of the Grim Reapers and Mabel used one of her skills called is attack as well Elma knew that the way they were Fighting wasn't really efficient and that they would take quite a while until they defeated the other Grim Reaper but he thought that he could somehow manage on his own even though he had it much harder than them because three armed grim reapers
were much more dangerous in close combat Elmo was giving it his all while defending from a continuous barrage of attacks from the monster and when he finally landed his Berry skill in a perfect manner Elma saw an opening And he quickly realized it with a strike across the monster's rib cage but even though elma's attack had wounded the monster Elma wasn't really safe from danger and as the monster fired off its death sword skill Elma just barely managed to defend with his shield of Madness however the monster didn't stop there and it fired off another
death sword at Elma and that attack knocked down even him with his shield knocked out from his hands Elma fell onto the Ground and his shield fell away from him and Lucy was clearly shocked and worried at the same time because that was the first time she saw Elma flying through the air like that but the monster stood tall and was getting ready for more action Elma was sliding across the room almost all the way to the room's wall and after he stopped sliding he managed to get up on his knees the monster would be
looking at him that whole time if it had a head which it didn't but he was Certainly going after our protagonist the monster started running and Lucy couldn't do anything to help Elma but it seemed that he had activated his his half dead Savage dragon because his body was covered in electricity and that ended up being true as Elma met the monster attack with Fierce determination and a sharp look in his eyes Elma thought to himself how he finally reached all the conditions he needed to defeat the three armed gream Reaper Lucy Stood on the
room's wall with the help of her acrobatic steps and she wasn't taking her eyes off of Elma while elma's sword and all the swords from the monsters were still in a clinch Elma knocked one of them when he sliced away with his mythal sword Elma was most certain that he was going to win and he wanted to get that fight over with he started exchanging blows with the monster and somehow Elma managed to hit it twice in a row without much Difficulty and just when he was about to strike it from above the monster Ed
its free hand to stop the attack however that didn't really surprise our pagies that much as he was prepared for it when he knocked out the monster sword and he knew that an attack was coming he quickly dodged and retreated just for a bit Elma took a small chance to grip his sword even tightly and he bounced towards the monster's right arm but the monster successfully defended with two Of his swords Elma explained how there were two conditions to be met in order for him to defeat the monster and the first one was to manage
his health point so he could activate his special skill and the other one was also a matter of strategy the monster broke away elma's attack and it started channeling its death sword skill but Elma didn't even move or try to defend instead he smiled and explained that the other condition was to slowly inflict damage onto the Monster so it would use its death sword three times which would use up all of his Mana points in a way that it wouldn't be able to cast another death sword skill because one of them cost 18 Mana points
and the monster had a total of 66 so with that being said Elma knocked out the remaining two swords from the monster's hands and with the monster's body completely exposed Elma gave it a finishing blow and ended up killing the monster and raising his Level by two and was now standing at level 66 so now it's one monster down and one more to go now Lucy was taunting the monster while kelt and mael were giving it their best to try and inflict even little damage to the three armed Grim Reaper that they were fighting against
they didn't have a clue about Elma as they were completely invested in their fight and even though the monsters back were filled with kelt's arrows and with visible signs of frostbite from Mel Skills the monster still kept going with full force after Lucy Lucy was doing her best to dodge the monster's attacks but she was clearly losing her stamina and mapel asked kelt if he ever thought of replacing her because she didn't look like she could do that for much longer kelt was angry at Mabel for giving such a comment and he said that Hunters
worked better from afar and Mabel reminded him that if things continued like that that they were most certainly Doomed and Faded to die El was coming to help them and he overheard Kel saying how he would try using his fleeing skill once again if their situation became Des desate Elma realized that Lucy was on the brink of exhaustion but he was happy that no one had died Elma carefully calculated the situation and he saw that they managed to chip away the monster's Health below 50% and it had enough Mana only for one more death sword
attack our protagonist thought that if he were to Join the fight immediately while his special skill was active that they should be able to bring the monster down very quickly and easily Lucy was really exhausted from all the running and as the monster got ready to attack her once again she didn't have the strength to move and Elma realized that he wouldn't be able to make it in time to defend her Lucy took her tiny knife to try and defend from the attack but the attack was so strong that it sent her flying Straight into
the wall Kelton Mabel realized that she couldn't possibly Dodge the attack that was coming and the monster approached Lucy and started channeling its final death sword attack Elma realized that there was no chance that he would make it in time to protect Lucy and he shouted at her to run but Lucy was in so much pain that she couldn't move an inch kelt looked down in the ground and it was obvious that he was struggling to make a decision but as There wasn't much time to think he just decided to act instead in the very
next moment kelt used his fleeing hair skill and he quickly jumped but it seemed that he wasn't fleeing this time he said that he wasn't ungrateful and with that being said it seemed that he couldn't forget the way Lucy saved him so he ended ended up using his skill to close the distance and push Lucy out of the Harm's Way he said that even though he was laughing at Lucy for saving him he couldn't just Look at her die because of that and he told her that she should look after herself much more in the
future if she wanted to raise through the ranks as an adventurer what ended up happening was that kelt was struck with the monster's last death sword right across his stomach and a huge fountain of blood started coming out of it there was no chance that anyone would survive such a devastated attack especially not killed Lucy was shouting his name but it seemed Rather pointless however Elma thought that kelt had done a great job by Saving Lucy and Elma finally closed the distance between him and the monster and with one powerful strike Elma killed the second
three armed Grim Reaper as well Maybel quickly rushed to check whether or not kelt was alive but it seemed that he was neither moving nor breathing oh my God is he actually going to die Mabel started crying and Lucy was also devasta because she blamed herself for being too Reckless and impatient which resulted in kelt's death the two of them were kneeling besides his dead body and Elma didn't look concerned even the slightest Mabel started shouting at Elma by asking him how he could remain So Cal when one of them died and Elma simply replied
that kelt was still alive and that he actually didn't understand why they were crying so much just when Ella finished saying that Kel started coughing up and coming around around as he said that he Had only lost his Consciousness for a brief moment Mabel was crying and Kell told her to stop it thinking both at her crying and his bleeding wound across his stomach come on girl just stop it bleeding already Elma knew all along that kelt was a high level Adventurer and the fact that they were only a group of four people only proved
that he was strong on top of all of that Elma knew that Hunters had a special skill called fake death which was a passive skill That activated on its own when the user had very low Health points and they suffered the blow that would normally kill them the skill enabled the user to go into a death like state which would give them enough time to run when the monster shifted its focus onto something or someone else with that being said the group seemed to have strengthen the bond between them now Elma explained how the hunter
class had some difficulties of its own whenever an enemy was about to Be killed a hunter could always choose whether or not he would be the one to land the killing blow or whether he or she would allow the other adventurers to do so in any case there was a problem if the hunter allowed others to take the kills all the time they would only be taken advantage of the hunters and in another scenario the hunter could easily become despised by the rest of the party members if he kill stealed all the kills Elma thought
that kelt thought that he Would end up being resented from the very beginning and that's why he acted so selfishly from the start but he ended up paying back his death to Lucy and Lucy bowed down to him and thanked him for saving her life Lucy knew that she would have died if it wasn't for kelt and kelt said how he couldn't live his life knowing that he was indebted to someone like Lucy after Mabel finished healing him Kel stood up and said that he would go for the killing blows and That he wouldn't apologize
for that because that was just the way he did things and if someone didn't like that they should try and find another party for themselves and ell was a bit disappointed to hear that even though he didn't have High Hopes about Kell but kelt continued by saying how he apologized for trying to run away and leave them all behind in a fight that was winnable from the very beginning that was actually the main reason the Fight took so long and because of that Lucy's life was at risk Mabel turned to Elma to ask him whether
he was really a normal Adventurer because he managed to defeat one of the three armed grim reapers all by himself and Ela explained that he knew how to fight against Patchwork monsters and on top of that his mythal sword and special skills helped him out quite a lot I'm losing my voice for some reason my throat is going sore I think anyways back to the story Nabel wondered whether Elma was stronger than kelt all the time and kelt got angry with her for that comment he told everyone that he wasn't going to act differently just
because of the last fight and Elma didn't pay much attention to him as he was more interested in the item that was dropped by the monster it was a long sword called the Berserker which price was around 14 million gold and Elma crouched down to pick it up Kel couldn't believe that they had gotten Another drop again and he finally asked whether Lucy Had a skill that increased their drop chances Elma took the long sword and he offered it to kelt as a thank you gift for choosing to protect Lucy and kelt acted like he
wasn't interested in taking the sword ELO went on to explain that he was only able to kill the second monster because the three of them distracted the monster for long enough but k said how he didn't need a thank you gift because he was Only repaying his debt to Lucy Elma explained how he wasn't trying to make Kel feel bad or to insult him but Kell told him that they should get moving and once again he took the lead Elma asked him if he was really going to do such a thing once again because Elma
wouldn't be able to defend him like that and kelt got angry once again and he said that no matter what happened he was going to lead the way because he had the most experience the continued walking further Into the dungeon and kelt was really leading the way and he saw a couple of monsters ahead however the path had separate turns and Kel said that they should go right if they wanted to avoid another fight Elma asked him what would have happened if the monsters noticed him because he was too far in front of them and
kelt explained how he had three special skills that allowed him to move without being noticed and the names speak for themselves of these kills Enhanced hearing six sense and soft steps mbel said how it would have been much easier for them if kel had told everyone about his skills from the beginning but Kel said how he couldn't have done that because he would have been made a Vanguard Elma knew that every class had special skills which they kept hidden from others and that only meant that they had some weaknesses that no one knew as well
Kel told him about his skills because he never Thought that ELO was as strong as he was and kelt was surprised with the fact that he managed to take down that Patchwork monster all by himself Elma explained that it wasn't really easy and Kel said that he was jealous off his courage and bravery as well and before Kel could say anything else Lucy ran and hugged Ela tightly and said how she wasn't going to let Kel take him away which obviously surprised him and I said this in one of the other manga Recaps I've done
on the channel couple of days ago no matter how op our protagonist gets because of all the skill he gets they will never get a skill to re a girl or even to read signs that girl is kind of into you so they're going to be completely oblivious to all of that now while Lucy was hugging Elma it seemed that kelt had picked up something and he told everyone that his sixth sense had activated kelt explained that it only activated when there was a Strong monster or a rare drop nearby and this time thank God
it wasn't the monster it was actually the rare drop we see kelt explaining that he sensed a rare item and and everyone got interested in that all of a sudden and they stopped to think about it all together kelt said that he couldn't sense any monsters on their path to the item and that they should go and see what it was and Mabel said that they should maybe try to regroup with the Others before anything else Kell decided to leave the final decision to Elma as he thought that Elma was stronger than he was and
Elma boldly told Kel to lead them to the rare item Kel was surprised by elma's decision because he thought that Elma would always opt for the safer option and Elma explained that the item could be all sorts of things and if that was the case that the item belonged to an adventurer that might have died before Elma would love to retrieve it Then there was something else that Elma wanted to say but he stopped himself before saying it because it would be pointless to point out something that was obvious with that being said the party
followed Kel to where the item was and they took the right turn just as Kel said at the beginning and after walking for a little while they climbed down some stairs and Kell proclaimed how the item must be nearby everyone looked around themselves to try and find a drop Of some kind and it seemed that kelt was the first one to notice a gem that somehow seemed embedded into the dungeon floor kelt went to pick it up and Lucy was there with him inspecting the items value kelt had never seen something like that before but
he never thought that a gem like that would be a rare item but when Elma noticed what kelt held in his hands he got completely shocked Elma immediately shouted out to Kell to throw the item and kelt couldn't understand Why the sudden rush but Elma didn't say anything else he just knocked gem out of kelt's hands and before it could reach the ground Elma unheeded his sword and broke the gem by splitting it into two pieces with a powerful attack Luci and Mabel were baffled by what Elma had done and kelt was angry because that
item was very valuable Elma thought to himself how he had done the right thing as he thought that that particular item was what caused all sorts of problems in a Of dungeons the item's name was the morning trapz hedron and its market value was around 25 million gold the item description said that it was created with necromancy by imbuing dark mana and monster souls and it was very hard to store the item because it had to be covered all the time because it could be a cause for all sorts of disasters if there was no
cover over it so to put it simply because that Magic Gem was overflowing with Mana outside of its Capacity all sorts of abnormalities were happening in that dungeon and the ones that were close the Mana that gets trapped into such items comes from corpses of high level adventurers and normally necromancers looked for magic stones that were dropped by rare monsters these morning trap as head drawns were artificial and their purity was also artificial and knowing that there were people who left such items all over different dungeons was enough To explain all the abnormalities that were
currently happening in the Magic World Elma realized that this piece of information changed a lot of things while the rest of his group silently listened to him as it didn't have a clue about how serious the situation actually was Elma knew that the person that set that magic item there wouldn't allow themselves to be captured and killed and Elma knew that they must have escaped the dungeon in one way or the other but Then kelt felt something that sent teals down his spine he heard a loud scream coming from very far away and those screams
were Then followed by the sound of footsteps that were coming towards them and Kel said that they were approaching fast Mabel started panicking and said how they should have gone straight to the meeting point first and Kell told her that the sound was actually coming from the meeting point Elma was already aware of what those Sounds represented and he told everyone that it must be a wondering Lord kelt and the others refused to believe that that was true because they knew that that would be a complete disaster and Kel's first thought and instinct was to
try and run away if the meeting point was compromised but Elma told him that such an option didn't exist Elma explained that a wondering Lord could smell and track human mana and that it always chased after that smell on top of That they were all very well aware of the fact that the dungeon was full of tiny detours and that the wandering Lord would easily catch up to them but there was still another thing that worried Elma he knew that the usual monster that appeared as a dream Lord in such dungeons was the giant skeleton
and Elma knew that such a monster wasn't known for its speed and that its specialty was its huge size and high attacking stats Kel explained that he knew what he had Heard and the footsteps belonged to a four-legged creature and it was then that Elma knew that they were going to have to deal with a monster called the night bone on top of that Elma added how they should expect that it had evolved by then and that its level was around 85 which sent kelt and Mabel into another round desperate crying and ranting there was
one thing that Elma was happy about and that was that they knew what they were going to be up against and that was All thanks to kelt's special skills Elma said that he was going to tell kelt and Mabel everything about his and Lucy's powers and skills and that Kelton Mabel should do the same thing Elma explained how that was their only way to try and defeat the wandering Lord because only after Elmo was aware of everyone's skills and strengths and weaknesses he could come up with a viable strategy to bring the monster down Kell
thought that elma's proposal was absurd because every Single Adventurer in the world kept their strengths and weakness is a secret and that was what kept them alive and gave them an advantage Kell thought that if everyone knew about an adventurer's true skills that they would never be able to find a true party because they would only end up being ordered by others and told what to do and what not to do and Kel's view of what a party was was a bit different than elma's Kel said that parties weren't real teams and that They were
formed just for the sake of certain quests or raids and ELO was aware of the fact that that was the way the world functioned kelt couldn't stop himself from saying how much a wondering Lord would be too big of a bite for them now and he also added that they wouldn't even damage it properly before dying however Elma tried to reason with him by saying how he had a skill that could deal a lot of damage and the only thing Elma needed was an opening and there was Another thing that Elma wanted to say so
Elma said how kelt only acted like he was returning the favor to Lucy when he risked his life to save her and because of that Elma already looked at him like he was one of them and he asked him for his help which shocked kelt quite a bit kelt reached out his hand with his status menu opened and that was his way of showing how he believed in what Elma said Mabel said that she would also comply and she joked how she wouldn't Make a whole fuss about the whole thing like kelt and with that
being said all four of them opened their status menus and reached out their hands towards the middle they were determined to clear the dungeon by defeating the wondering Lord with their strengths combined the wandering Lord was quickly approaching their position and it was indeed a four-legged monster and its head looked like a skull and everything concerning the monster felt a lot more dangerous Than any monster that Elman Lucy faced up until then the party spent some time figuring out other skills and Specialties and kelt was the first one to comment elma's Relentless figure skill and
he while he had had never heard of such a thing before Kel thought that Elma being able to increase his strength sixfold was totally op Mabel commented Lucy's lock killed she and even though she knew such things existed she had never seen anyone use it like Lucy and to that extent to affect drop rates and Critical Strike chance Lucy felt a bit shy but Elma didn't say anything kelt asked Elma whether or not he thought that they would be able to win and Elma said that now he had come up with a strategy and even
though their chances of winning were quite slim there was nothing else they could do but try it out even at the risk of their lives Elma had 16 unus skill points and by opening his skill trees menu he decided To spend seven of them on his vow of the heavy armor and buy reaching the point of 41 skill points Elma unlocked a new skill called protection so the way this skill worked was that it created a barrier around the user which decreased the incoming damage by 30% for the next 3 minutes the time period of
3 minutes was a general rule a lot of skills that had a time limit on them and elma's protection wasn't an exception to that rule and he Would just need to pay attention to when to activate his skill as not to waste Mana points without a purpose Elma realized that that skill would only make it much safer for him to reach the conditions for his half- dead Savage dragon ability and it would also help him gather valuable information on the wandering Lord Mabel said how she would love to hear heal everyone before the fight started
and she wanted to heal Lucy and Elma but Elma told her that it Would be much better if he wasn't at full HP because of his special skills and that she should prioritize healing Lucy and kelt instead which surprised kelt quite a bit they did what Elma said and after that they got ready to fight the strongest monster they had ever encountered the footsteps were approaching more rapidly and they were now louder than ever the monsters hoofs were making a loud down through the empty hallways but our party took their Positions as they had agreed
after they learned each other's skills and with that being said and done they would know the exact time when the monster would appear in front of them thanks to Kel's special skill Elma knew for a fact that if things didn't go well they would all be killed with one Blow from the monster and that also meant that they couldn't allow the fight to last very long so their only chance was to try and defeat the wandering Lord aacap so as soon as Possible the sound of the monster approaching became even more louder and at the
end of the hallway the monster silhouette could be seen from where they stood everyone prepared themselves and the monster seemed to be enjoying its anticipation and the fear it could sense from the adventurers the monster let out a loud roar and when it finally showed itself they could see its true level and stats so the full name of the evolved night bone was skull Lord and it was a Level 85 wandering Lord on on top of that its Total Health points were 787 and the total Mana points of the monster were at 315 even though
the monster wasn't at its full health it was still a very intimidating opponent and mapel started to cry because that wasn't how she envisioned things to go the monster had a lower body of a horse and its upper body was that of a skeleton it had a shield made from Bones and a sword in The other hand and on top of the monster's head was a crown that symbolized its superiority over other monsters in the dungeon Elma thought that even though the monster was in its evolved form nothing should have changed much when its strategy
was concerned and the only difference should be on the statistical Spectrum meaning his stats were higher no new mechanics that you have to learn for this boss fight Lucy was clearly upset but she wasn't Allowing her feelings to scare or intimidate her but Mabel seemed to have some trouble hiding her fears from showing on her face as the monster came nearer with constant Roars Elma gripped his mythal sword even tighter used his life Shield to lower his health point so he could activate the half dead Savage dragon and after that was finished ELO was completely
ready to start the hardest battle he had ever fought and he reminded everyone to try and stick to The plan as much as they could the party started running towards the monster that was rushing at them with Elma leading the way and Lucy and mapel behind him kelt wasn't in the picture because he was probably waiting for an open to fire some arrows at the skull Lord as Lucy jumped onto the walls with her acrobatic steps Elma thought to himself how his vision of the monster was almost accurate because he knew how the night bone
looked like and after Kel said that The monster whose footsteps he had heard was a four-legged monster Elma envisioned the monster almost the same as it actually was on top of that Elma thought that the monster would keep the same fighting style as the night bone and with that in mind he devised their strategy but to one thing that Elma didn't predict was the fact that the skull Lord had a shield which completely changed the entire situation because what the party was aiming for was that They wanted to end the battle as soon as they
could and if the monster could defend against their attacks with its Shield then they couldn't stand the chance against it so with that being said the action was about to start as Elma continued rushing to meet the monster head on and just when he came really close he started shouting no immediately as Elma shouted those words kelt appeared out of the dungeon floor right behind the skull Lord and He aimed At the monster before using his skill called point shot and Kel's Arrow connected to the monster's score under its rib cage the monster immediately turned
around as that Arrow Drew its attention and now it shifted its focus on kelt however both Elma and kelt were laughing that that part of the strategy worked as they had planned it and Elma was really happy to have kelt on his team as he was a top class Hunter who could use a special Shadow sinks skill That allowed him to become one with the environment the monster let out another loud roar as he turned its whole body towards Kel and by doing so it ended up exposing its back to Lucy who was getting ready
to pounce and attack it herself Lucy mastered up enough courage to do so and while she was in midair she used her stun barrage skill and she started spinning with her knife however the monster managed to block her attack successfully but their strategy had Worked once again because the plan was to apply the poison effect onto the skull Lord and Lucy managed to do just that with a couple of cuts on the monster's lower body Lucy was really happy that she managed to complete her part of the strategy and she informed Elma that she had
applied the poison onto the monster when Elma heard that he knew that it was his time to move in and his goal was to try and use his disarm skill to lower the monster attack and Defensive stats and Elma just barely managed to hit the monster and his skill surprising worked the skull Lord was getting quite angry and each time it was hit it was shouting like crazy as it now shifted its focus on Elma it started to attack him however Mabel was ready to cast the skill she had been channeling all that time and
as Elma quickly jump to the side Mabel used slow to further slow the enemy down which gave Elma just the right amount of time he needed to Safely Dodge the skull Lord's attack the plan had worked excellently up until then and they man managed to apply all sorts of debuffs to the enemy its movement speed was slow its attacking power were lowered and on top of that there was the additional poison effect El was really satisfied with how everything went but his face was still dead serious because he knew that the wondering Lord's resistance to
debuffs and other effects was way higher than That of other monsters and the thing was that their effects wouldn't actually last forever because the wondering Lord was so strong all of their debuffs were reduced and the duration of their effects were also haved which mean that they would wear off even sooner than usual everyone was still aware of the fact that the fight was still on and that they could lose at any moment and as Elma rushed forward with outstanding determination and great force he Explained how they would only have one full minute to try
and defeat the skull Lord before it got back all of its powers they were all aware of how little time they had to try and put an end to this fight by defeating the skull Lord and that's why everyone was going to give it their all because now when the skull Lord was under the effects of three different debuffs that was their one and only and their best chance to defeat it Elma rushed in and as the Monster roared their swords clashed and it seemed that Elma was able to hold up really well against a
monster that was four times his size Elmo was somehow able to deflect the monster's attack with his Perry skill and when he tried to attack it straight on the skull Lord used his shield to prot protect himself and Elma knew he had to fall back for the time being in the meantime Lucy had once again climbed the wall with her acrobatic steps and she was already Prepared to attack Lucy gripped her knife and she pounced at the skull Lord with the intention of slicing it up but once again she was met with the monster's shield
and her attack did basically no damage and she had to jump away towards the wall once again while Lucy was trying with her own attacks kelt was firing off arrows at the skull Lord from behind his back but it seemed that the monster wasn't at all affected by kelt's tiny arrows and kelt realized That his attacks didn't concern the wondering Lord not one bit things were looking Bleak for Elma and the others but that wasn't the time to be desperate as their time was limited and the Clock Was thicken by each passing moment Lucy and
Elma didn't lose their determination and their facial expressions were still giving signs of Hope and they continued with their attacks Lucy bounced at the monster once again but the skull Lord seemed like it could completely read Through all of their attacks and it once again met Lucy's attack with its Shield only this time the skull Lord used his shield like Elma used his many many times before when he used his shield bash the skull Lord sent Lucy flying across the empty hallway when it deflected her attack immediately after that the skull Lord took its giant
sword with both of its hands and was channeling its attack Elma realized how dangerous that was for Lucy as she was Helpless because she was still flying through the air Elma realized that there was actually no way of him ever parrying such a strong attack but he wasn't going to let the monster kill Lucy like that there was only one thing that Elma could do and that was to throw his shield of Madness in the way of the attack and thanks to that Lucy was able to escape unharmed however that man that Elma had lost
his shield of Madness for the remainder of the fight and that would Make make his job much more harder as he knew that he couldn't allow the skull Lord to break his life Shield because Elma still needed to see the Monster special skill on top of that Elma still didn't know anything about the monster's potential weak spots and that was just another problem because they had to know all of that to be able to find a nice opening but the skylord wasn't stopping even for a single second and it took a different grip on its
sword which could Only mean one thing and Elma immediately recognized it the monster held its huge sword in Reverse with the blade completely covered in electricity and its tip pointing towards the ground ELO was shocked and he quickly warned everyone that the monster was about to use its special skill and that they should all fall back and jump into the air when the tip of the sword made impact with the ground they all seemed ready to do what Elma just told them and With another loud roar the monster fierceful struck his huge sword into the
ground which unleashed the effects of a skill called lightning ground impact the skill sent a strong shock wave through the whole hallway and because Elma wasn't able to see anything from the flashes even though everyone was a bit blinded by them it seemed that Elma was the only one to get hit and he was in a lot of pain as others seem to have successfully dodged the skull Lord Special skill now in the effects of the monster special skill had come to an end it was evident that Lucy was also affected by the Imp P
but not as much as Elma because she was on the side walls and not on the ground however Elma was standing on the ground and the impact of the skill had broken through his life shield and had shattered it completely Elma knew that their chances of defeating the monster had become way way smaller but they couldn't give up just Yet however kelt was really angry at the skull Lord now and he took out his pocket knife to try and attack the skull Lord he was very experienced Adventurer and he thought to himself how he wasn't
going to be defeated by such a skill kelt hated to be looked down upon especially if the entity that did that was a monster and he threw his pocket knife at the skull Lord calling him Bak the monster wasn't affected by that attack even the slightest and kelt Realized that that was actually a huge mistake with another deafening Roar the monster attacked kelt who was in midair and its huge sword sliced open his belly Elma shouted out kelt's name but he couldn't do much to help him as the monster left kelt alone and turned its
focus to Elma now and was rushing at him with full speed Elma met the monster's attack with another luckily successful Perry but the monster used that momentum to change his attacking Direction and it Raised its sword high up into the air to attack Elma from above that surprised Elma as he didn't anticipate something like that and he knew that such an attack would be way too powerful for him to block or Parry so he knew he had to try and Dodge it the impact of the attack was way too powerful that even the dungeon floor
started collapsing and Elma barely managed to escape when Elma saw the aftermath of the attack and what it did to the dungeon floor Elma Realized that the skull Lord's attacking stats had gone back up to its fullest capacity meaning that all the debuffs are gone ELO was able to recklessly Parry the attacks until then but now even that wouldn't be possible anymore because of the buff had worn off as kelt was lying down on the floor in a pool of his own blood that came from his stomach Elma knew that there was no way that
he could have survived an attack like that oh no Oh no is he really going to die now on top of that the fact that the effects of elma's disarm skill had warn off that only meant that other debuffs would also there very soon if they didn't wear out already Elma also realized that the skull Lord wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible because it recognized Elma as his biggest threat because Elma was giving it the most trouble out of all the adventurers there but something unexpected had happened as kelt stood up
On his feet and by yelling and cursing the monster kelt fired off another arrow that seemed to have passed right in between the small cracks on the monster rib cage it seemed that kelt's special skill faked that also worked on such powerful attacks such as the one from just a couple of moments ago I mean the hunters are the most OP class ever what the hell man you're baiting my emotions like that telling me he's dying and you're literally giving me a DX mahina For him to survive two times with his F death spell what
the hell man Kell taunted the monster by saying how foolish it was to forget about him just because his body collapsed onto the floor I love this Elmer realized that kelt must have used his special skill right when he was about to be slashed and that resulted in him staying alive barely Elma was really satisfied with the outcome of that moment when he told Mabel to heal Lucy and kelt instead of Healing him on top of that Elma also used his protect skill on kelt so the damage he would take would be reduced by 30%
they had to take that Gamble and with all the debuffs the monster had on itself kelt barely stayed alive and his health points were extremely low to say the least but thanks to kelt being brave enough to put his life on on the line he was able to give Elma a great opening and Elma was really happy with his party member and he even called him a master Hunter as well which made Kel smile Elma ran at the skull Lord and this time he was certain that he would be able to cut it down the
monster roared and as it was running towards Elma Elma jumped into the air to level himself with a point where the monster's torso connected to its lower body and Elma Unleashed his most powerful attack with his Relentless figure and it seemed that he was able to slice the monster open nothing could really be seen because elma's half dead Savage dragon was now emitting a black electrical current and his whole body was covered in what seemed to be black Thunders Elma looked a lot stronger than ever before but that could only be related to the gravity
of the entire situation he knew that if his attack didn't land or if it was just an inch off the effort of the entire party and their struggle would have been in vain but in the end elma's attack was so powerful that he was able to cut the Skull Lord in half the skull Lord's lower half with those horse legs was standing on the floor while the upper half of its torso was flying through the air as soon as the upper part fell onto the ground the monster's lower body also collapsed on the floor and
with a sight of relief on everyone's faces it seemed that they actually managed to defeat the skull Lord and Elma had gained over 9,000 experience points raising his level to 71 Elma was really happy that They managed to win because he thought that the whole raid party would be in danger and maybe even the whole city of Loria as well Mabel came running to her teammates and she was really happy that they had defeated the skull Lord even when it was so much stronger than them and Lucy's face was also showing signs of Happiness Elma
said that it was everything thanks to kelt and he apolog ized for giving him the most crucial role in the whole plan because nothing Would be possible if he hadn't been able to dodge the lightning ground impact kelt was lying on the ground and he added how he never ever wanted to fight such a close battle as that one and while he was crying out of sheer Joy of staying alive Elma realized where his attitude was coming from but after all that fighting and anxiety and anticipation and the adrenaline kelt could really feel happy and
satisfied with himself and with everyone else in His party because it was such a good feeling to have brought down such a strong monster as the skull Lord everyone's faces were showing clear signs of pure happiness and satisfaction while the monster's body was slowly disintegrating Into Thin Air and after a couple of moments had passed the skull Lord completely disintegrated and in place of its lower body there stood its magic Stone which looked huge and Elma looked at it with a calm face he was Probably the only person that could remain calm after seeing something
as beautiful and as big as that that's what she said kelt commented how he had never seen a level 85 Magic Stone before and he asked himself what its price was and when Elma looked at it he told kelt that it must have been somewhere around 10 million gold coins kelt was baffled with that number and he said how the reward that the guild had promised everyone if they clear the dungeon now looked rather Small and kelt was a little bit jealous of Elma and Lucy Elma joked with kelt by saying how Lucy was the
full package thinking mostly about her lack increasing skills but ELO was really interested in whether or not the monster left another item drop and when he turned to take a look around Elma saw that the skull Lord's Shield was laying on the ground the item was extremely valuable as it was sitting at 55 million gold for the market value and its bonus To defend defensive stats was a whopping 88 points on top of all that it even had a bonus effect that said that no hell hearted attacks would ever pass through the shield kelt commented
how he knew that dreamlords usually dropped items more commonly than other monsters but he hadn't heard of a situation where it would drop items that adventurers could use on the spot and he understood how valuable it was to have someone with great Fortune skill tree in your party Mapel joked with Kel by saying how he was probably feeling guilty for not Landing the final blow and Kell defended himself by saying how they wouldn't have been able to defeat the monster if he had tried something like that and that would result in all of them dying
but kelt also told Elma that because he ended up getting both that drop and the one from the patchwork monsters from a while ago that Elma should at least buy him some drinks Elma then proclaimed the Shields value and when the others heard the price of 55 million gold their jaws dropped as they were completely shocked with that information Elma also added how he would love to keep the shield as it would be a very good upgrade in conest to his shield of Madness even though it was a bit heavy for him now because of
the difference in level because ELO was level 71 and to properly be able to wield and hold the shield one needed to be level 85 but more than Anyone else Elma understood and was aware of the fact that he was able to bring down the skull Lord because of what others did as well and victory was a team effort so that's why he wanted to share some of the rewards with kelt Maple and Lucy as well mapel said that healers always received a good compensation from The Guild whenever they were called to attend any type
of raids so she was happy with that to add even more to her satisfaction the sheer Fact that her level had gone up by four even though she did the bare minimum because of her Mana points already being low she couldn't ask for much more Mabel also added a joke by saying how Elma shouldn't feel obl to share anything with kelt which made him upset but Elma reassured kelt and Mabel that they would meet up in the guild once more to distribute the awards evenly the dungeon started to vanish like every other clear dungeon did
after the dream Lord Was Defeated and they were about to be teleported back towards the entrance Mabel said that even though their time as a party was up she was really happy to be in the same party as Elma and Lucy and Mabel also added Kell's name on that list but only after a short post to tease him Mabel explained that they would lose against the skull Lord and die if it weren't for him but the skel didn't know how to properly take a compliment he turned his head and said How Mabel was cruel and
he didn't believe her Elma and Lucy were really happy because there was a friendly atmosphere in the air but Elma didn't forget their true goal and there were a lot of things that were still unclear and rather concerning there were three major things that Elma was worried about even though they managed to defeat the skull Lord and thus clear the whole dungeon and while they were at it they also found out what was causing all the Anomalies in the world by finding the morning chap as he drawn they still didn't know who was the person
that planned all of that out and another thing was that the person was probably still nearby Elma and the others got out from the dungeon into the damaged Church area and once they were out the first person to notice them was only a dark silhouette and the person didn't think that that would have ever been possible other adventurers were also surprised That someone actually managed to defeat the wandering Lord and clear the dungeon and some of them didn't even know whether that was considered as disobeying The Raid rules some adventurers were clearly wounded as they
had cuts and bruises and were bleeding all over and they were actually glad that someone was able to beat the huge monster and they realized that they were saved out Elma only saw 10 people in front of him and by counting the four of Them he realized that six people have gone missing and that wasn't a good thing their original raid party was consisting of 20 members and there were only 14 of them now Elma knew that the adventurers that lost their lives in the dungeon would vanish along with the dungeon when it gets cleared
however Elma was also concerned with the fact that he wasn't seeing any new faces among the 10 people in front of him so that only meant that the culprits could Be among the original raid party all along or that they quickly escape the dungeon and left after placing the morning trap as he drawn or that they had lost their lives and vanished along with the dungeon maybe as the culprits were still unknown Elma didn't have any information about them their class level and stats were all still a mystery and on top of that by the
way everyone looked outside Elma knew that they were as exhausted as they were and that he Should probably remain calm and patient and wait for another chance to try and expose the culprits callus noticed that there was some commotion at the dungeons entrance and she went to see whose party was able to defeat the wandering Lord and when she came nearer Elma proclaimed that it was them that defeated the skull Lord Kell seemed really happy to see them and she told Elma how she always knew that there was something about him that made him rather
special and Elma Said that he wasn't that special because they wouldn't have been able to make it if just one of their party members wasn't alive and helping and they seemed rather proud of their achievement callus explained how she never thought that anyone would be able to defeat the skull Lord and that was the first time Elma realized that Kos had fought it too Kos added how she tried to fight it all by herself because she knew that her other party members would just slow her down But still Kus wasn't able to do anything and
she just decided to run away and inform as many adventurers as she could to leave the dungeon Hy was sobbing behind her as she was really happy that her master was alive and well K told Hy to stop crying but Hildy knew that the situation was really serious this time and that everyone could have gotten killed Kos admitted that and that's why she thanked Elma for saving everyone's lives Kos even took elma's hand in hers And said how she was even more interested in him now and how she wanted to thank him properly when she
had the chance is my boy about to get some action with Kos ELO's face showed signs of concerns and confusion at the same time and Kos walked up to Elma and whispered how the matter had shed a bit more light on the entire situation and it was inevitable that either the mares family or the guild had been involved the only thing that was factual was that The disasters weren't happening on their own and rather that someone wanted to see the world's struggle everyone made their way back to Loria the city of adventurers once they got
there Our Heroes were accompanied by Kos to a fancy Inn that felt like a luxury hotel more than an inn actually everything looked so neat and tidy it was amazing Elman Lucy set across Kos on individual armchairs while Kos was sitting on a large sofa she started off the Conversation by expressing her gratitude to both Elma and Lucy for helping her clear the dungeon and finish the raid successfully Kos continued by saying how thanks to them they now had more information about the true nature of all the disasters and they were closer to finding everything
out and on top of that all Kos thanked Lucy and Elma for saving all of the surviving members of The Raid and for saving the city of cornea as it would have been in serious Problems had they not defeated the skull Lord Elman Kos had already reported everything back to the guild about all the errors of the map and about the existence of the morning chap as heed drawn as well I always have troubles pronouncing this thing's name I'm sorry so Elma thought to himself how the map wasn't inaccurate because the guild had made a
mistake or two and Elma was almost certain that it wasn't the work of adventurers that made some false Reports from time to time which was usual in the Magic World the only thing that was right about the map was the original path and everything else every small turn in D2 were all scrambled up and that was what made the whole thing suspicious because that was the case even if adventurers were to somehow find out that the dream Lord transformed into a Wandering Lord when they started running they were bound to get lost and eventually die
to the monster Elma knew That there wasn't any other reason why someone would make such alterations to the map apart from wanting to see as many adventurers as possible die in the dungeon Elma thought that the morning chapis hedron was placed so deep in the dungeon just because of the fact that it would make it much harder for adventurers to exit the dungeon which would result in Greater chances of those adventurers ending up killed by the skull Lord or even other monsters Elma Asked kellos whether or not she was able to find out any information
about the map errors or about the rare Magic Stone that caused all sorts of disasters and Kell responded how the adventurers Guild in Loria had a certain man that was an adventurer and later became an employee of the guild it seemed that that man was very well trusted because he was doing an excellent job for the guild and everyone believed in him and that's why he was entrusted with all the details For that dungeon raid but the problem was that the man was missing as they speak and no one knew where he was and Elma
realized that he had disappeared kellos explained how she spent quite a lot of time traveling throughout the Nung Kingdom to try find out what or who caused those anomalies and she was doing so without any success for a long long time and just when there were some Clues and when she had gotten some good information the assumed culprit managed To sleep away just like that and the fact that she was once again left with nothing made Callos really frustrated but there was one thing that Callos was sure of and she was certain that whoever had
been helping the culprit all that time and who helped them Escape Callos thought that they must have been either someone from the mares Hood family or from a fraction that belonged to it Callos explained that there weren't many organizations and families that were Able to successfully plan out so many covered operations and after Elma listened to her he said how that was a sound conclusion but Elma thought to himself how there was a big flow in that story because he couldn't think of a valid reason that would be a motive for the maris's family to
do such things because Elma couldn't understand how they would benefit from anything that happened in the last couple of months Kos continued by saying how it was Inevitable that the culprit would most definitely strike again as it was proven in the previous rate that Kos couldn't manage things on her own she told Elma and Lucy that she would need their help when that happened because she couldn't trust the guild with such matters Elma was frowning a bit because he was taking his time to think about it and Kos just sat there silently and after some
time Elma responded that he would would gladly help if Kos was okay with Trusting someone like him Elma said that because there was a stigma in the Magic World about heavy nights and he just wanted to put that out there Lucy also added that she was willing to help and if there was anything that she could do she would love to be notified as well Kos ended up thanking them and expressing her gratitude for even having had the privilege of meeting Elman and Lucy before they left the room K called out to them to say
one more thing and She explained that as big as the allson kingdom was it was only protected by a small number of nobles Knights and adventurers a few hundred tops and that's why Kos wanted to remind Elma and Lucy that she expected them to be at the top of their game Whenever there was a need to help Elma and Lucy didn't respond as they understood the gravity of the situation and they exited the inn and went into the streets when they started speaking with Kos it was daytime Outside and now the Knight had already settled
in Lucy knew that the mission was a complicated one but she was smart enough to understand the basics and she knew that the main thing that was causing all the problems was the fact that there existed some people that wanted to enhance the power of the monsters around Loria and to make them attack the city Lucy wondered whether it would be okay if they waited and whether or not something bad would happen in the Meantime but Elma explained that they couldn't act as long as they didn't have definite proof is that could cause much more
trouble Elma thought about the whole thing once again and he came to a conclusion that the enemy's main objective was to create something called Zerg which even Lucy didn't hear about before Elma explained that the Zer was the second evolution of a dream Lord the first evolution happened inside the dungeon when the conditions are met However that wasn't the only Evolution that could occur and the monster could continue eating and consuming adventurers for a while more and if that happened and if the conditions for the next Evolution were to be met the monster would then
be become bigger and stronger than the dungeon itself which would force the dungeon to collapse the dream Lord would then take all the monsters from the dungeon and they would begin something called a nightmares March and that was the biggest disaster that could happen as even towns like Loria would be in grave danger because they would turn into Graves okay not funny I'll see myself out now Elma told Lucy that if achieving the Zerg was the main goal of the culprits then they and everyone else that attended the raid quests were nothing but food for
the dream Lord to put it simply they were sacrificial lambs and Lucy was really worried when she heard that Elma opened The door of a Tavern and when they entered inside they were welcomed by kelt and Mabel who were already sitting at one table seeing them made Elma and Lucy really happy kelt said how he was getting tired of all the waiting as Mabel was annoying him with her jokes and Mabel said that they could have taken their time as she enjoyed messing with kelt Elma was happy with the fact that they had been successful
in delaying the disaster for now but he was Also aware of the fact that even though they didn't know the exact identity of the culprit it was evident that someone who wanted to see the world burn existed and they actively worked to achieve their goals but as not to spoil the festive mood Elma decided not to speak about that Lucy noticed how Mabel and kelt had really gotten much closer to each other and without much to add they all agreed that it was high time to raise a toast in honor of their victory Over the
skull Lord and a successful raid quest after all that was still a huge Victory not only for them but for the city of Loria and the whole Magic World as well a couple of days had passed since the raid on the cemetery of Soros and as Elma and Lucy walked through the streets of Loria Lucy thought how everything felt peaceful Elma explained that after such a fight where one wrong step would end up with their deaths everything would feel Peaceful and he looked rather relieved that the fight was over and that they had some time
to rest and charge up their batteries but Lucy thought that the general public wouldn't be as peaceful had they seen what they were up against in the dungeon but thanks to them defeating the skull Lord nothing bad happened and the city and its population could continue with their everyday activities without any problems but that still didn't mean that there Wasn't someone who tried to make things a lot worse Elma thought about the person that Kos mentioned that worked as an employee at the guild Elma realized that even though they didn't know the person's location it
seemed that the person and whoever they received help from didn't really care about the fact that the public found out about their existence and their malicious intentions as much as Elma thought about the whole thing the more he couldn't figure out Who the culprits might be because everything they knew wasn't adding up there was nothing that constantly thinking about it would change and that's why Elma and Lucy made their way towards the adventurers Guild with the goal of picking out their next dungeon Elma explained that before anything had happened their only way to prepare for
anything that might wait for them was to get stronger and that's why it was really important that they continue Farming experience in gold and Lucy couldn't agree more with him when they came at the notice board kelt noticed them and came to say hi kelt said that he might have some interesting information and he added a phrase that caught elma's attention a good Adventure is quick on the uptake and quick on the run and with that in mind Elma told Kell that he was a good Adventurer if though were the criteria and kelt apologized for
trying to flee from the fight Against the patchwork monsters Elma turned to Lucy and wondered whether she would be interested in something interesting that kelt had for them and the look of Happiness on Lucy's face show that she was all in Elma turned back to Kel to tell him that they wanted to hear him out but kelt said that they should probably go somewhere else and when he was about to explain why a couple of adventurers that were sitting at a table behind kelt started making Comments about about how kelt found another party to trick
them and cheat their money away from them kelt turned around and gave the adventurers a glaring look and he told Elma and Lucy to leave the place with him Elma commented that he thought how they were making a name for themselves as well but as those adventurers hadn't been able to recognize him he guessed that that wasn't really the case and Lucy joked about how everyone thought that kelt was A criminal and scammer but with that being said Elman Lucy exited the guild and went into an nearby Tavern with kelt after they sat at a
table and ordered their drinks Elma immediately got to the Chase and asked kelt how much money he wanted for his information kelt replied how he wasn't trying to scam them in any way and that he wasn't asking for money so he continued with his story by saying how he heard that there were some rather strange things happening inside the Mares family and Elma and Lucy all of a sudden became much more invested in the entire conversation kelt explained how the Nobles in that Kingdom also had a similar tradition to that of the edwiin family as
well and that was that they valued abilities more than they valued blood dies that didn't mean that anyone could become a part of the noble family but what it meant was that even the youngest child could become the next head of the family depending on the Outcome of his baptism and in special occasions even a very distant relative could become the best candidate for the spot of the family air with that being said kelt overheard that there were were some factions that had been formed inside the family and they fought and schemed against each other
over the position of the next hair and from what K could tell there was quite a lot of plotting present on top of all that the current family heads thought that such Things were necessary and that the next Air needed to be resourceful and that was only a part of being the leader and therefore he was willing to turn a blind eye even if there were casualties in the entire process Elma said that he heard about him before but he never knew knew that he was so wicked Kel continued by telling them about the eldest
daughter of the family called snow Hall Todd it was said that she was a genius swordsman and that she was famous for being Calculating merciless and that she barely ever talked Kel said how she was a bit strange but in the past couple of weeks she had used all sorts of schemes and connections with other Nobles to make significant achievements by sheer force Kel said how he understood her will and desire to become the next Heir but he had certain suspicions when it came to recent events that worried all of them Elma thought that that
story might have some truth to it because such A story was believable after all Elma could imagine such a scenario and he thought that it was quite possible kelt was surprised with how fast Elma understood things and because he knew that Elma was interested in that matter Kel decided to tell him Elma thanked kelt for his concerns and for sharing the information with him but he also knew that that wasn't the only thing kelt wanted to talk about so Kell told him to prepare themselves and he told Him that the guild had been keeping that
a secret from the adventurers that a rare dungeon had appeared a little bit further away from the city Lucy was surprised and Kell said that such a dungeon could bring them a lot of gold but Elma said that they were just B rank adventurers and that such rare dungeons should be left to a rank adventurers and kelt thought how Elma was a party pooper Kell tried to explain that he thought that Elma would be interested and that's Why he mentioned it and before he could say anything else Elma interrupted him to ask about the dungeon's
name Kel said that he didn't know for sure but from what he had heard it seemed that the name of the dungeon was the Tower of the mythical beasts and Elma repeated the name of the dungeon out loud because he was shocked the bartender Hur him and Lucy tried telling Elma to calm down and lower his voice as that should have remained the secret and Elma apologized For getting too hyped up kelt never thought about trying to clear the dungeon even if El and Lucy wanted him to come but he was curious about why Elma
was so surprised Elma explained that there were such dungeons that had special bonus stages which were really really rare and they contained extra rare item drops and monsters Lucy asked him if there was a special item he had wanted from himself from this dungeon and Elma told her that one of the Monsters in the tower of mythical Beast was a grim reaper and with that being said Elma explained that that monster could drop the skill book that Lucy needed for her crit build the reaper assassin Elma explained that that skill tree was as crucial to
a Jester as the smoldering Fang of Madness was to a heavy KN and Elma said how all other skills that a Jester learned prior to acquiring that skill tree could be seen just as tutorial Elma explained how that Skill tree was really good for all classes that focused on close combat but the only one that could use its potential to the fullest capacity was the jester class because it had the lck increasing skill which was the most important thing for the Reaper's assassin Elma said that if Lucy were to acquire that skill tree she might
even become stronger than him for a little while and Lucy was thrilled to hear that and she begged Elma to raid the dungeon As that would make her rather happy and satisfied Elma told her that she didn't need to convince him anymore and he turned around to Kel to ask him whether he would accompany them because they could need some help from experi againsted B rank adventurers and Kel said that he needed to refuse their invitation as he had some other business that he needed to see to on top of that kelt said that he
was always trying to do everything as cleaner as possible and He wasn't really keen on taking risks kelt also told Elma that they should maybe slow down a bit because they might lose focus of the bigger picture and even though kelt was right Elma was thinking about whom they would invite is there wasn't a lot of B rank Adventure adventurers left Elma knew that b rank adventurers weren't abundant and that was even more true when they talked about solo adventurers like Kel Elma thought about Mabel but he thought that She had a fixed party of
her own and as much as Elma thought about it he couldn't think of a person that could replace kelt Elma ended up telling Lucy that they would be better off with just the two of them entering the dungeon and Lucy was really happy about that as well and she couldn't wait to get going they immediately stood up from the table paid their drinks and went out on the streets to search for a carriage they found one and the driver took them out of Loria And he dropped them off near a mountain shed where Elma and
Lucy spent the night when they woke up they made their way up a near by Mountain and after some hiking they could finally see the dungeon's dream hole and ELO was happy to see that no one had cleared it yet while they walked to the dungeon's entrance Lucy asked him whether or not Elma was sure that they would be able to clear the dungeon in a short time frame and she added how she never heard of such rare Dungeons before Elma explain that there was a catch with such dungeons the dungeons would start to collapse
after a certain number of monsters had been killed and even if the dream Lord hadn't been defeated the rare dungeon would vanish Elma remembered how in the game adventurers rushed in and they never came back and the fact that the guild was hiding the dungeon's existence could mean that someone influential was farming drops for profit but no one said That it was forbidden to enter the dungeon and Ela wasn't going to let the chance to snatch away the reaper assassin skill book slip away when they entered Lucy wondered that the recommended level 80 was a
bit high and Elma agreed with her he told her that because of that they wouldn't be going too deep into the dungeon and that they would try to stay away from dangerous monsters and suspicious places he explained that their only goal was to Acquire this skillbook for Lucy and as Lucy took a look around she saw that there was a window even though they were in a dungeon when she looked outside she couldn't see the ground because they were so high up in the air Elma explained that that was all part of alero's dream and
that she should keep away from looking through the window as they couldn't know what would happen if she fell and Lucy immediately created some distance between herself and the Window Elma cracked his fingers and Lucy took a fighting stance as well as they prepare themselves to start their expedition to get Lucy's Reaper assassin skill book The Monster Elman Lucy were hunting the Grim Reaper was very strong and its attacks covered a large area because of its sight and its special skill called spectral permeation allowed it to pass through walls and physical attacks as well Elman
the monster would end up giving them a lot of problems Because it had high evasion skills and its attacking stats were also over the roof the the hallways of the dungeon were decorated with gargoyle statues and while they walked further into the dungeon Elma told Lucy that they would try to stay away from other monsters and that they would fight them only if they needed to while they tooked one of those gargoyle statues seemed to be alive and when Elma and Lucy passed by it the monster started following them Elma Noticed that and he quickly
turned around to use Shield bash to send the monster backwards so they could run up the stairs they entered another hallway which was a bit more spacious and when they realized that they were safe from the monster Elma commented how his new Shield was really powerful because the monster had gone further than it usually would they walked further into the dungeon climbed some more stairs Elma had to warn Lucy not to fall through Some cracks on the floor and Lucy was really suspicious of every other gargoyle statue that they came across I mean this is
literally me in every single video game I play if I play a video game and you show me a statue and one of these statues attacked me and none ever attack me again I will always think another one is going to attack me again now while they walk through the Tower of mythical beasts Lucy asked Elma whether or not there was any guarantee That a green reaper would appear and Elma explained that the monster not appearing would be their worst case scenario and just like that while they were talking about the monster not appearing at
all the Grim Reaper appeared right in front of them a level 66 Grim Reaper floated in the air in front of them and Elma and Lucy quickly ran to draw the monsters attention to themselves the monsters seemed to notice the noise they made and it got ready to Launch a surprise attack it gripped its sight and it quickly turned around prepared to launch a powerful swing with its weapon seeing that made Elma realize what was coming afterwards Elma knew the the gream reaper Was preparing for a skill called the funeral dance and it was a
lot similar to Lucy St barrage and the main difference was that Lucy wielded a knife and that the green reaper wielded a sight on top of that Elma explained that when the Grim Reaper Started its attack its defensive stats would go up and even if it got attacked while doing its own attack the monster wouldn't favor or Flinch and such skills were called hyper armored attack skills but elma's determination to conquer the monster by overcoming all of the challenges its skill had was much greater than anything else and he ran towards the Grim Reaper to
meet it head on and when the monster raised its size to start it attack Elma used his shield Bash to knock it away and his face showed signs of happiness and thrill Elma knew that while the Grim Reaper used the funeral dance skill it couldn't use its special spectral pre I can't pronounce this word spectral permeation skill as well at the same time while doing the funeral dance skill and that was the time to act and while elen was first to meet the monster Lucy wasn't going to just calmly sit behind him and watch the
show and she also got up on Her feet and quickly ran behind the monster the Grim Reaper had noticed her but as the monster turned around it was already too late for it to do anything about Lucy's St barrage the monster took some damage until it retreated from Lucy with its back turned towards Elma and Elma knew that the fight was over just like that he took out his sword and sliced the monster in half with a powerful swing and the Grim Reaper collapsed onto the floor they gained 2,899 experience points and as Elma sheated
his sword back Lucy came happily running towards him he explained that if the monster managed to activate its special skill that they would be in great trouble and it was good that they were able to expose the monster's weakness so early on and bring it down without much effort The crucial moment had come when they were about to check for the drops and as ELO was looking around the disintegrating corpse Of the Grim Reaper Lucy was so anxious that she couldn't even look and the only thing she did was that she was prayed for the
skill book they indeed got a drop and it was The Reaper Scythe with a market value of around 15 million gold coins it wasn't the exact drop they were hoping for but it was still better than getting nothing and as ELO was picking up the weapon from the dungeon floor Lucy was completely disheartened because they didn't get the skill book on their First try and she called The Reaper side a m drop and Emma was at a loss for words because the site itself was around 15 million gold coins oh my God how would this
girl Farm Invincible mount in WoW it took me literally 2 years I mean it's not two years of grind but you can do it once a week and it took me two years so just calculate how many weeks is that how many weeks in one month 4 weeks 12 months it's like 48 weeks 80 96 weeks it took me to farm Invincible Mountain wow and she got it for the first try and the mount drop was actually 1% meaning one in 100 times you should get it statistically and I got it on the 96th try
so I was reaching the end of 100 tries of almost not getting it anyways I'm sorry for all this mbling random M let's go back to the story Elma and Lucy kept going further into the dungeon and because of the fact that this particular dungeon was in the form of a tall tower going further into the Dungeon actually meant going up the stairs they had encountered another Grim Reaper and the battle was already on it seemed their strategy was the same and ELO was leading the way but when he came nearer to the monster Elma
was greeted by a powerful attack called the Dragon Slayer and he quickly jumped to the side to dodge it Elma was still focused and the attack hadn't taken even the smallest portion of attention and determination and Elma was already Prepared to launch his attack when he swung his sword the Grim Reaper laughed before using his special spectral peration skill and because of that Elma sword simply passed through the monster's hollow body without inflicting any damage whatsoever Elma immediately realized that this fight wasn't going to go as smoothly as the one before and the Grim Reaper
was already going after Lucy Lucy got a bit intimidated because he didn't know what to do as the monster Was in its spectral form and she knew her attacks wouldn't work but Elma had something to say about that and he used Shadow stomp to catch the monster's Shadow and he was able to capture it and restrict its movements Elma was really happy with that because now they could try and use that to their advantage it seemed that Elma had gotten the monster full attention and with that done he released his shadow stom skill and he
continued fighting the monster head on Elma realized that after the effects from its special skill had activated and the green reaper had lost quite a lot of its attacking power and Elma taunted the monster by saying how it was much weaker than just a couple of moments ago the monster kept on attacking and when it heard elma's words it seemed like it was provoked and he decided to change its attack and to attack Elma directly from above and that was just what Elma wanted he smiled because he knew that Lucy had Already pounced at the
Grim Reaper and by gripping her knife she used her Stan barar skill to completely slice up the Grim Reaper Lucy deactivated her skill and the sliced up Hollow corpse was slowly falling onto the ground Lucy and Elma gained some experience points and Elma even leveled up yet again Lucy comment mented how it was really tough to fight a grim reaper when it used its special skill and she thought that it would be good had they hard someone like A maage that could use long range magic attacks and Elma confirmed that to be true as the
monster's spectral permeation was only good against physical attacks and Magic once could still harm them but even if they had a mage on their team Elma knew that the Mage had to be really good because the Grim Reaper was rather fast and their heat boxes were quite small and because of that the Mage would have to be quite precise and he or she needed to know how To properly spend their Mana points Lucy realized that they would have to stick with cutting the grim reapers down using their own wits and strengths but Elma noticed that
Lucy had gotten used to hunting them down as that was the third monster they have killed Lucy explained that she had finally realized the range of her Stan barrage skill and that helped her a lot with time in her attacks and Lucy added how she would be delighted if they were to get get this Book already Elma knew that searching for grim reapers wasn't the easiest job and as the monster's body was disintegrating Elma and Lucy were a bit skeptical about the drop and after the smoke cleared out they saw that they had gotten another
Reaper site which completely shattered all of Lucy's dreams and hopes Lucy started losing her mind and she shouted out a rethorical question she really wanted to find the skill book Elma tried calming her down By saying how even the side was really valuable and he thought to himself that even though they were a little bit unlucky luc's great Fortune skill should be enough to make the grien Reapers dropped their skill book Elma thought that even in spite of them being tired and the fact that they had used quite a lot of Mana points they were
still able to defeat three grim reapers and Lucy thought that they won't get another chance to acquire the reaper assassin Skill book Elma explained that if they were a bit more thoughtful of how they spent their mana and energy that they would still have a chance while ELO was explaining to Lucy that they would try their best to avoid other monsters so they could preserve as much power as possible a monster croaked behind him and it was evident that it was some kind of a frog when Elma turned around and saw the monster he immediately
recognized it as the wealthy Merchant Len that one in particular was level 90 and it looked way bigger than all the other L monsters they fought up until now this was the first time that elma's eyes glistened with excit ment Elma forgetting what he was just telling Lucy told her that they were going to try and Hunt Thea down Elma started sneak in his way towards the L and Lucy wondered whether or not that was the exact opposite of what Elma said about other monsters but it seemed that the wealthy Merchant Lana was so valuable
that Elma couldn't let the chance slip away in the meantime the dungeons entrance had become way too crowded as a group of shady looking adventurers entered with their kn out and with mischievous looks on their face things seemed like they were going to get really messy for Elma and Lucy and back to our protagonist and the waifu material that's following him last couple of chapters we see them sneaking behind the Lena as not to scare It away and when they came close enough Elma told Lucy to try and catch it but Elena noticed them and
it started running in the nick of time Elma couldn't believe how fast Len moved in comparison to its body size and the way it jumped but since Lucy wasn't going to quit just yet she continued chasing the Frog all over the place Lucy jumped into the air and she activated her dice thrust skill and the Lena seemed really frightened because it thought that Lucy Would land a hit but what ended up happening was that the L was able to dodge Lucy's attack in the end even though Lucy ended up successfully rolling a six she ended
up hitting the ground instead of the monster the frog quickly ran away and her ribbit ribbit sounds became more silent Elma finally caught up to Lucy and saw her on the floor and Lucy explained that she thought that she could reach the Landa but it ended up running anyway Elma Consoled her by saying how even getting close to that Lanta was praiseworthy as well Elma also added how the hallways of that dungeon were a lot wider than the ones in the Angel's toy box where they farmed gold and lenus and their original strategy couldn't have
worked on top of that the wealthy Merchant L had a movement speed of 244 points which was two times faster than Lucy and there was no way in any mind say in mind that Lucy could catch it Lucy felt a bit Disappointed because she thought that her knife was just going to make it but Elma assured her that that wouldn't make any difference at all because even though that L had only 22 Health points its death stats were over the roof and Lucy would need to roll three consecutive sixes to bring it down wait is
this some Illuminati conspiracy theory happened in here 3 sixes anyways Lucy was shocked and she realized that they never even stood a Chance against it and Elma laughed and said that he thought that they might have been able to kill it with Lucy's help but it seemed that he was wrong this time Lucy turned around and she realized they had gone quite deep inside of the dungeon and when Elma suggested that they try to trace the path back to the entrance somebody had seen them and was approaching to meet them Elma quickly grabbed his sword
so he would be prepared if a fight happened and he Turned around to see two women one dressed casually and the other one wearing a full armor set and the one that looked like a knight was angry at the guild for having Spilled Out the secret information about the Tower of mythical beasts Elma looked at the two women and he immediately noticed that one of them had an enhancing Rune on her sword and her hair color was the same as that of the Guild Master harleen with those two pieces of information Elma Concluded that she
couldn't be anyone other than snow heral wed The Other Woman seemed to be her servant because she became angry with Elma saying her mistress's name out loud and she ordered Elma and Lucy to immediately leave the dungeon as they shouldn't be there in the first place Elma remembered their conversation with kelt and everything Kel said about snow heral wed and Elma thought that that was the perfect chance to try and get as much information as Possible about the incident with the morning treay P all hedron they found in the cemetery of Sorrows some of Bros
told me in the comments how to pronounce this word properly but I'm just a hopeless case when it comes to the word like trap is hedron trap is hedron I don't know anyways Elma asked Snow's servant whether that was an order from the Maris family and if that was the case they should have placed a guard at the dungeon's entrance and no one would Be able to enter in the first place Elma knew that that probably wasn't the case but he wanted to provoke them a little bit to see their response the servant became even
more angry and just when she was about to start shouting again Lady Snow called her name and they had a silent conversation between the two of them the servant's name was Isabella and after a couple of moments she bowed down and decided to do as she was told she couldn't say no to her mistress after All Isabella then turned towards Elma and Lucy and started a barrage of insults towards them and said how adventurers like them mostly ended up losing their lives because they were so greedy and ignorant Isabella tried saying how they were just
trying to warn them for their own good but she was once again cut by her mistress and Lady Snow whispered once again to explain to Isabella how she was a bit too rude and that she should try being a bit more Indirect and Lucy couldn't understand why Lady Snow couldn't simply talk for herself Isabella once again said that they should look at their warning and at the fact that such a rare dungeon was kept hidden from the public as a kindness from Lady snow and that if they still persisted behaving like that Isabella said that
their skills must be on another level and she Drew her weapon which was a huge Lance Elma was really surprised with the fact that Loria had So many people and adventurers that were really short tempered El Lucy tried calling Elma down by saying how it would probably be better if they don't mess with the mares family just yet but it was already too late as Elma had already drawn his mythal sword and he told Lucy that they would never have a chance like that ever again and Elma told Isabella that they would love to be
taught by them Isabella was a bit shocked to see Elma draw his sword as well but with a Smile on her face she said that she would never be intimidated by a random Rascal Adventurer Lucy tried to stop Elma once again by trying to talk some sense into him but Elma explained that they weren't fighting the Maris family as a whole and the sole fact that they were also resorting to violence meant that they were acting without the family heads knowledge or approval and the mischievous look on Isabella's face clearly meant that that Elma was
right Elma also added how the skill book they were after was way too valuable to Simply give up on it and that they shouldn't just give up and Retreat The Mention Of A skillbook qu Isabella's attention but she wasn't going to just simply Stand By and listen so she decided to go on the offensive she started running at Elma with her lens pointing straight at him Elma knew that the fight had started so he took a moment to focus himself completely on The enemy in front of him and he met her Lance with a blocks
using his mythal sword Isabella realized that elen was an experienced Adventurer and she even deducted that he was a b rank Adventurer because he was able to defend well against her attack however Isabella also said that if Elma was from Loria she most certainly would have known about him and that's how she realized that Elma was from somewhere else so he asked her if that exchange was enough for her To stop the fighting and that question riled Isabella up even more and she continued the fight Isabella broke off their weapons from the clinch and tried
stabbing Elma with the sharp tip of her lens but Elma successfully deflected her weapon but it seemed that Isabella was going for such an outcome as she used an attack called The Fortress breaker and the attack was so fast that it ended up going through elma's hair as he just barely managed to dodge it but Isabella Still wasn't stopping even for a second and by changing the grip on her Lance she used another attack called the helmet piercer which came directly from above but Elma was able to block that with his myal sword Isabella was
shocked to see how well Elma was holding up against her and Elma explained how he grasp the basics of a sword fight and they broke off their clinch Isabella was really shocked with how good of a swordsman Elma actually was but she Wasn't going to give up as she didn't want to embarrass her mistress however Lady Snow just calmly observed everything but the look on her face had the kind of villainous feel to it is it me Isabella and El Mak Exchange changed views and when Isabella made her next move Elma was really shocked she
used a special skill called The Sword wave but Elma was able to block it with his new Shield it was safe to say that Elma didn't expect Isabella to use a skill But while Elma was hiding behind his shield Isabella already charged a new attack and her Lance was now covered with bright light and chases of Mana were floating around it Isabella rushed forward and jumped up into the air to use her blade of Holy Light skill which left Elma speechless Elma wasn't surprised with the skill itself and he was able to use Perry to
deflect his aella Slants to the side which completely caught Isabella off guard and That gave Elma a good opening Elma took that chance to use his shield bash to send Isabella flying and that gave him enough time to think about Isabella's skill which only meant that she was a Holy Knight which was another Defensive class Isabella said how she had underestimated Elma but if he wanted to finish her off off he had used the wrong skill and Isabella said that she wouldn't give him such an easy opening again but as Isabella was getting ready To
attack once again lady snow finally spoke out her name out loud and told her to retreat Isabella was completely shocked with her statement and she tried to protest but Lady Snow explained how Elma had defeated her when it came to a sword fight and he even defeated her when it came to the use of a skill as well lady snow concluded Her speech by saying how she couldn't find another reason to continue the fight Isabella was saying how that would tarnish her Reputation but Lady Snow told her that the only reason why Elma chose to
use his shield bash instead of another skill was to try to avoid inflicting some serious damage to her because they were inside of a dungeon after all L snow added that if they were to continue any further it would only end up worse for both Isabella and her Isabella was hard to accept defeat but she couldn't act against her mistress's or Elma thought to himself how Lady Snow Was much more Mindful and more open to conversation than her servant and then Elma had previously thought and Lucy was really shocked to hear Lady Snow's voice as
she refused to talk out loud just a couple of moments ago Isabella was angry with herself for losing to an adventurer that was around the same level as her but she couldn't blame anyone else but herself Elma tried to be respectful as possible so he kindly asked them whether or not they could continue with their Expedition and Isabella desperately turned towards her mistress however Lady Snow told her that there was nothing else they could do because Isabella had lost the battle of strength which she brought up in the first place Isabella lowered down her head
and she apologized to her mistress she was still in shock from the realization that Elma who she thought was an ordinary Rascal Adventurer he was actually stronger than her in the meantime Elma was thinking About lady snow and how she seemed to be much more different from what the rumor said about her Elma thought that she was rather honest and she gave off a confident Vibe Isabella said that Elma and Lucy actually possessed the experience and strength that was needed to enter this dungeon but that was just an excuse she made up for fighting Elma
she made it look like it was a quick test to see whether they would be okay without anyone's help so they would Allow them to keep exploring the dungeon however Isabella was still angry that she had lost and she told Elma that she hadn't even used her trump card and before she could say anything else Lady Snow stopped her once again and Isabella ended up shouting at her mistress because she couldn't control her emotions Elma and Lucy just silently observed their interaction and after a brief moment Isabella realized that she had made a mistake and
ladies no Explained how they needed to keep their composure because they were Nobles after all Isabella reminded her lady mistress that the head of the family looked down on Nobles that tried being considerate and compassionate of people under their care and Isabella said that they meaning everyone else in the family still had doubts about lady Snow's personality but after a conversation with her lady mistress Isabella turned back to Elma and she finally admitted her defeat and She told them that they could move freely around the dungeon and that they wouldn't be bothered Elma thought a
bit more about lady snow and as much as he had time to observe her it seemed to him that she wasn't really in an open competition for the position of the next Air and he thought that she wasn't as bad as the rumors say Elma suddenly remembered the Guild Master harleen and he thought to himself whether or not those two were related however Elma also Thought that some parts of the rumors were true like the part that said that lady snow was going around and clearing dungeons to farm and level up and try to clear
as many difficult dungeons as possible but Elma didn't think that she was in any way related to the morning chapis hedron incident in the cemetery of Sorrows Lady Snow told Isabella to find out elma's name and Elma couldn't understand why she was constantly using Isabella to convey what she wanted to Say Isabella said that Elma impressed her with his skills and that she wanted to hear his name and Elma simply introduced himself as Elma Isabella explained how she had heard of that name before and now she could finally connect a face to the name that
defeated the skull Lord in the recent trade Quest Elma bowed down and thanked them for being worried about their well-being but he asked for the permission to leave Lady Snow had something to say and that Was the second time she spoke out loud and she wanted to thank Elma for being kind towards Isabella even though Isabella was acting like a little however it seemed that that was too much talking for lady snow and her face turned completely red Isabella tried comforting her because she knew that lady St was EX extremely shy and even small talk
with strangers could make her blush Elma and Lucy smiled at each other but they went on to continue with their Expedition oh my God I knocked everything over oh my God they got into another fight with a grim reaper and after defeating that one as well Lucy found the fourth Reaper sight and she had lost all hope of finding the reaper assassin skill book Elma commented how their drop rates were really good but that the only problem was that they were looking for a specific item that wasn't dropping particularly Lucy realized that she had gotten
quite better at hunting Down and fighting grim reapers and Elma told her that she was able to do that because she could learn and remember their attack patterns and their weak spots and he also added how the most crucial part of every fight is taking the chance to strike whenever they saw an opening Lucy knew that they had to try and stay positive but she really thought that they wouldn't find the skill book they were looking for and Elma thought to himself that they maybe Had the strength to hunt one more Grim Reaper Elma thought
about the dungeon itself and whether it would still be there the following day he thought that if it was only them and Isabella and Lady Snow the Tower of mythical beasts would most certainly stand told the following day but Elma decided that it would be safe to assume that there were other adventurers that enter the dungeon he could at least count the ones that K spel the beans too El told Lucy that They could try and look for the reaper assassin in some of the back alley shops like the one where they bought his smolder
INF Fang of Madness is there was a possibility that some adventurers could have found it but Lucy seemed a bit skeptical of that idea on top of that she thought that chances of that happening were very slim and Elma defended his suggestion by saying how the chances were larger than zero and just when they were about to leave the Dungeon Elma turned around as had heard something and when Lucy asked him what happened Elma explained that he heard a scream which could only mean one and one thing only the dream Lord had been spotted and
someone was calling for help Lucy asked Elma if they were going to check where the Cry came from and of course my bro couldn't go against his curiosity so he did agree plus he also knows that he's inside of a manga and he doesn't want us readers to be like what The hell man why didn't you go there to check imagine how would it look like if he was like no no no we're not going to check it let's just go mindlessly grind more mobs anyways while this was happening lady snow and her guard Isabella
were being attacked by a group of Bandits the leader of the bandits attacked Isabella first because he wanted to get rid of her I guess first because she looks maybe stronger but Isabella skillfully used her lens to Knock the Bandit sword out from his hand however a while dagger appeared the Bandit had it hidden and he tried cutting her with it but Isabella's Lance was faster and she managed to strike him across his right shoulder oh no not his right hand his girlfriend one Bandit got behind lady snow now and at first it seemed that
she hadn't noticed him but when he attacked her it was obvious that she simply didn't care as she wasn't that worried about his attack because I Guess she's op when the Bandit tried swinging his sword with murderous intent the lady snow simply stepped to the side and successfully dodged the attack without much effort as if a baby attacked her she didn't even strike back I guess she probably wants to see why they were being attacked in the first place which is a smart move props to you lady snow the Bandit ended up Landing in front
of Isabella is it racist for me to say it like this because I really have No racist intents in my mind but some people may find it inappropriate but I guess Italian people wouldn't find it inappropriate because I know some Italian people and they told me couple of years ago they they don't find it inappropriate when I joke with their pronunciation like this anyways I don't know why I'm talking about this Isabella attacked him with her lens knocking him back further away the wounded leader was really pissed off as he thought that Attacking snow and
Isabella would have been a walk in the park for them and I mean he was right if he was thinking about a park in hell not you know your bird sturing River floating Park usual Park so he was also angry with the fact the two women were able to roam a dungeon all by themselves kind of misogynistic huh and while he was expressing his frustrations Elma and Lucy arrived at the scene Elma immediately gripped his sword while Lucy Was shocked to see the bandits there the Bandit leader was immediately notified and that left them no
other choice but to act like Giga Chads and flee flee like the rats they are Ela said how the cries they heard were actually from the attackers and after seeing how well Isabella and ladyes know handle this predicament they found themselves in Elma realized that their help wasn't even needed so I guess the right choice was to not go help the adventurers and Just go and mindlessly slay the mobs to gain experience Isabella explained that they were simply Bandits like every other but L snow thanked Elma and Lucy because they managed to make the bandits
flee a lot sooner than they would and I mean the humbleness of some of these manga characters never ceases to amaze me so she knows she can handle this B in like 10 seconds but she has to be Giga humble and she has to thank Elma by saying no no no you beat him in 7 Seconds which is 3 seconds faster than we could do it so thank you so much you really did help us out a lot even though they were actual Bandits Isabella explained that their abilities were equal to those of C rank
adventurers and with that they would never have to worry about money or food in the town of Loria I mean I don't think they want to earn an honest living so Isabelle also added how they probably weren't allowed access in towns or guilds and ladies SN Mentioned how even though the number of such skilled Bandits is decreasing faster than the sub count of Logan Paul after this recent fraud that he committed these Bandits were still the most Troublesome of all and now that made Elma think he knew the rank hierarchy and he knew that the
C rank is near the top of the list even though for all of us manga readers it seems like the weakest rank ever because every single protagonist is SSS sssss plus Rank see is quite strong in the average normal manga fantasy world now Elma couldn't understand why someone as strong as a c rank Adventurer would ever humiliate him or herself by becoming a criminal or a bandit Elma always thought that the safest option would be raiding dungeons instead of attacking and robbing people and I mean in real world you're right if you have morals this
is like common logic but if we are in a video game or a world where you have Like these skills Magics talents stuff like that what's more fun than ganking people who are just trying to do and complete their Quest I know this is like a gigas comeback move to kill somebody who's trying to complete a quest but it's so fun man fun that's why they're doing it probably for fun however Elma thought that even their overall plan was pretty wicked as they couldn't have possibly thought of kidnapping lady snow and Isabella explained that all
Bandits Were always fools that luk to earn as much money with as little effort as possible so I guess this makes me a bandit then this is how I go through my life thank you Isabella she also added how they were actually stupid and because of their selfishness and greediness and my dog barking in the background this they would try to fulfill each and every stupid plan they get because they think it's an actual genius plan however Ladi snow doubted That they were so stupid because they were able to identify her easily as the daughter
of a Noble and it seemed that they knew that she was in the dungeon Isabella waited to see where lady snow was going with her thoughts and she suspected that the whole thing was a setup and that the bandits took Extra Care not to say anything that would potentially compromise them and Isabella thought that that was actually very much true and she also realized that she's in The smartest shed in the tool tool in the shed tool in the shed because Lady Snow realized this and she didn't because of that Isabella mentioned how it would
be really really good and useful if they were able to catch at least one of the bandits but she explained that she was low on both energy and Mana Elma wanted to ask lady snow if she had any idea on her because the attempt of the bandits was actually very poor and they probably wanted to Give out a prior warning something like a heads up however Lady Snow immediately jumped behind Isabella which Elma couldn't understand even if he tried to Isabella immediately started shouting out in a protective voice and she said how Lady Snow was
actually a very important individual and that no one could ever imagine why she was that special Elma realized that she had some more Pros than most people but he thought to himself how she was way too Shy for someone who needed to be the succeeding head of the family Ella thinks about the whole incident he believes that the bandits are paid Killers Elma believes that their main goal is to kill snow who is the next head of the family it is safe to think that one of Snow's Rivals for the position of the head sent
a Bandits Elma thinks that that assumption has a flow the bandits are too Direct in their goals he knows that Isabella together With snow aren't an easy task Isabella is a b rank Adventurer she's a master in Sword fights ladies no Herald is known as The Prodigy swordsman Elma thinks that this was only a warning which was incited by offering Bandits some money he thinks hard about what their next move should be he tells Isabella to take lady snow out of that dungeon Isabella responds how that was her plan from the beginning she tells Lady
Snow that they should go but she sees that her leg is Injured Lady Snow acts like it's nothing but Isabella starts to rage because of the bandits Isabella vows that she will ask the head of the family to kill all of the bandits in the region the leader of the bandits comes back panting he knows the death is near but he wants to take either Isabella or lady snow with him he shouts at them from the stairs but his voice stops mids sentence everyone turns around they see the Bandit's decapitated body the blood Still lingers
in the air so everyone is completely shocked the lifeless body falls onto the ground a monster with a huge mouth that's decorated with sharp teeth has the Bandit's head Elma draws out his sword as they prepare for the worst the monster starts to come down the stairs it shps all the time it reaches the Bandit's body so it starts to B it with its clo they see the Monster status bar it's the dungeon boss a Wandering Lord called podar it's a Level 80 monster with a big pis I mean a big health bar Luc is
scared like usual so she panics Lady Snow braces herself Isabella angrily shouts with confusion Elma knows that this is the main fight of the dungeon he didn't expect it but there's nothing to do now but to fight Elma tells everyone that the fight is inevitable Isabella says that there are no merits in fighting against a dungeon boss in a rare dungeon she wants to know why the dungeon boss is there in the First place Elma thinks that he knows the answer the bandits have lured the monster so it can eliminate ladies no it's clear that
the monster is bloodthirsty Elma turns his Focus back on the boss podar is a monster that is most dangerous with its ranged magic attacks the party now has two problems they can't attack the monster from distance but they also can't forget the boss's close combat abilities while they assess their position the monster lifts Off the ground the fights get a different dimension from the start Elma knows that his skills can't reach that far up Lucy is a Jester so she as well doesn't have the Firepower they need Lucy is also level 60 so her damage
will not be enough the boss flies above them it circles like a predator Elma know that both Isabella and snow are low on energy if the fight Jags on all of them will die one by one they need to find a way to damage the monster Elma comes up With a solution but he isn't sure if it will work he prepares himself but Isabella shocks everyone she runs to the front line she shouts that she will serve as a decoy she wants Elma to take lady snow out of the dungeon Elma and Lucy are completely
baffled Lady Snow shouts at her but Isabella simply tells them to leave she knows that she can't last much against such a monster the monster starts to Channel A spell it produces a loud CHP which lets out the Wind handt spell the spell is a ball of wind that slices through the air Isabella gets intimidated by the Spells look Elma knows that dodging that spell is a bad move he jumps out in front of Isabella to block the attack he is successful so the attack doesn't hit anyone he explains that the wind hand spell his
home in properties it will follow its Target until it connects Elma explains that power is vital if you want to block it Isabella is angry that he Saved her which makes me think that she would perfectly fit with these radical feminists Elma says that he wants to fight the monster from the very beginning he gets another wish after seeing Isabella's courage he wants to defeat the monster so they can all leave the place alive Lucy and snow griped their weapons but Elma already took his sword out he explains that he can buy them 5 minutes
against that monster Elma looks the monster in the eye he's ready To fight the podar slams to the ground its eyes are fixated on Elma Isabella shouts out that they are being too Reckless because the monster is level 80 she says that she is a knight of the herald with family so it's her duty to protect ladies snow Elma understands her frustration but he sees snow reach out for her sword Elma thinks that she's ready to put up a fight snow bites her Le s she will not run away while Isabella is fighting for her
Isabella is Still stubborn but Elma interrupts her he tells Isabella that if she wants to protect snow so badly she has to give it her all in that fight Elma turns back to the dungeon boss the strategy for now is that Elma and Isabella will lure out the monster so it attacks them Isabella greets her teeth but the monster stares at them with murderous intent Isabella screams out she says that the Harold with family will hold a grudge against the monster if anything bad happens to Lady Snow that angers P but Elma smirks because that's
what they want Isabella starts running at the monster but Elma is ready to move as well the dungeon boss notices this its focus shifts to Elma as it uses the sil cutter spell Elma immediately uses his Dash he times it so well that the attack ends up just missing him Elma knows that Sil cutter is a high level skill with Incredible speed the wall behind him is cut but that could have been him Isabella Already makes her move she charges with her lens at the monster the podar prepares its clothes so Isabella tries to avoid
it the attack gets her so she's knocked away Lucy is shocked Elma knows that that is far from good lady snow draws a snowflake symbol in the air with her sword she uses her ice abilities on the monster Elma realizes that she is an Ice Crystal Knight that is a powerful class it's great for close combat but it can also attack with ice magic from Distance Elma also knows that snow is injured so she can only support them for now Lucy decides to act as well she jumps into the air with her acrobatic skill she
swings her dagger with full force so she activates her dice thrust skill Lucy rolls a six so her attack is a critical one she quickly jumps back to safety but she's happy to get a hit she checks the monster status bar which shocks her because the monster seems perfectly fine her attack only dealt a Little over a 100 damage not even a six or a Critical Strike makes a difference and this scares Lucy the podar excels in defensive Powers as well Elma quickly calculates that to defeat a monster they need six successful six rolles the
problem is that podar also has a passive heal spell the monster screeches out its Target is Isabella who lies on the ground defenseless Elma steps in front of her with his shield once again he blocks the first Clow attack but the Dungeon boss gives him a hard time Elma yells out at Isabella to stand up because he can't hold out for too long podar attacks him with his other claw but Elma successfully parries it with his sword it picks up some dust from the ground Elma has to cover his face with his shield he can't
launch any counter attacks the difference between their reach is too big Elma can't do anything but defend Isabella and Lucy start to charge they are eager to help but the Monster channels another spell it raises its head up towards the sky the attack sends a strong gas to wind that knocks the both backwards they scream as the wind carries them snow and Elma managed to stay on their feet Isabella and Lucy also find out how to manage their weight Elma feels bad about that they had a chance at close combat but the monster took it
away once again their attacks can't reach the use that strategy to buy themselves time so they can recover that Strategy also wears out their enemies Elma knows that their strategy is bad but that is the main condition for them to win they need to come up with a good plan Elma assesses the situation once again he and Isabella serve only as Shields lady Snow's ice magic can only distract the monster Lucy needs to keep rolling a six every time if they want to win that's not a good plan as it relies on RNG way too
much but AR screams as it attacks Elma once again it's close grip Elma's sword so he has to knock them away Elma is left wide open the dungeon boss uses that opportunity to use its Sil cutter the attack hits Elma head on Elma screams as he gets sent into the wall Lucy screams out because she is worried everyone looks at him to see if he is all right Elma slowly gets up but he's badly hurt he has met the conditions for his special move set but he would be happy if they found the reaper assassin
skill book for Lucy Isabella is shocked when she hears Elma talk about the book but Lady Snow shouts out she has that skill book on her Elma can't believe it he realizes that that is possible since they are longer in the dungeon than them Elma shouts out immediately he promises to pay way more than the market price for the book he asks lady snow if Lucy can have it lady snow takes the skillbook out of her inventory her face is a bit angry but she throws the skill book right at Lucy But AR confusingly watches
them as Lucy catches the book she examines the skill book they were after for so long any user that has the reaper assassin skill tree is really strong to say the least the skills make their blade skill with a single swing it's the ultimate skill tree for assassin classes Lucy doesn't know how to activate a skill book she yells out to Elma for help Elma explains that she needs to channel her Mana into the book and imagine its content flowing Into her Lucy does exactly that but she needs to rule out one skill tree because
she has too many Elma tells her to cut the attack power increase he also tells her to use the remaining 23 skill points to upgrade the Reapers assassin the book floats in front of Lucy she does everything that Elma said with great Focus the green reaper assassin skill tree is finally in her possession Elma knows that she has enough skill points to unlock the first kill of that tree Elma knows that they have little time Lucy has to decide immediately if she will do that or not she thinks that she can level up her other
abilities with that skill tree so she listens to Elma Elma tells everyone that they will have it much worse the more time passes by they need to move as one if they want to win podar feels the threat coming its way Isabella asks about her task so Elma repeats everything their strategy stays the same the two of them in the front Serve as Shields Lady Snow supports everyone with her ice magic Lucy will be their only attack power Elma tells them not to worry the Grim Reaper assassin should be of great help they need to
make sure that the fight doesn't drag on Isabella knows that there is no use to hold back on us in Mana she uses what little Mana she has to send a slash wve at the dungeon boss it's a direct hit so the monsters scates in pain Elma closes in right after so they waste no time he Prepares his sword for the attack but the monster is much faster than him elma's face is right in front of the monster's claw Elma deflects the attack but he's still hurt the monster continues The Barrage of claw attacks Elma
realizes that he messes up the timing for his Perry that leaves him vulnerable he takes his shield to cover himself podar Rams its clothes into it with full force they start to move back and forth in a battle of strength Elma Gets pushed way back but Lucy tries a fake a attack to scare the monster podar doesn't Flinch so it starts to channel its Sil cutter Isabella notices that Lucy is wide open and she has no means to get away lady snow will not let anyone be hurt her ice magic hits podar right in the
face that gives Lucy just enough time to sneak in on the monster she crouches beneath its neck Elma shouts to encourage her Lucy yells out as she swings her dagger she uses the Dragon's Lane thrust she unlocked moment ago the dagger connects with the dungeon boss's neck blood splatters all around Lucy pod's face is in painful disbelief Lucy stays in her attack stance while the dungeon boss screams in agony Elma knows that her skill has a high crit rate it is risky but it's their best chance the skill is much more reliable than her old
dice thrust Elma believes that the skill will work well with Lucy's lock stats because of her class Isabella is also amazed she thinks that the dragon Lan aspect will be of help she also adds that Lucy's attack power is too low so her Critical Hits won't end the fight on the spot the dungeon boss notices its leg is swelling up with a symbol of a skull on it the skull opens its mouth the monster's leg erupts with a torrent of blood podar loses a lot of blood lady snow and Isabella are at a loss for
words pod cries as it rolls on the floor everyone except Elma Is shocked by luc's power he knows that she unlocked the Abyssal blade skill that skill doubles Lucy's critical damage Elma knows that the Grim Reaper assassin is a simple skill tree but it's still feared as it is really powerful normal Critical Hits enhance the damage by 1.5 times but with a Bissell blade that buff jumps to three times Elma says that even someone weak can land the Fatal blow with that skill Lucy ends up almost having the monster's health bar Elma thinks they should
close in on it so they can finish the job but he is wrong the monster stands on its clothes it uses its wings to propel itself into the air to everyone's shock the monster stays in the air Isabella thinks that the dungeon Lord got scared by the strike so it Retreats into the air Elma tells her that her theory is wrong he knows that the monsters are much smarter than he remembers them from the game the reason why podar is in the air is Because it wants to heal with its passive skill Elma is skeptical
because the monsters shouldn't let them escape the dungeon boss knows all to well that everyone is low on Mana they also have no strong Mage in their ranks its face shows a huge grein the monster plans out its next attack Lady Snow uses her magic to erect an ice pillar that goes towards the boss she asks Lucy to trust her it's safe to climb the pillar which is their only chance of dealing damage Dage to The monster Elma understands that lady Snow's class is capable of expanding the range of the battle which she just did
Lucy says her thanks to snow as she starts to run on the pillar Elma shouts out that she should be careful things aren't as simple as they see Elma thinks that he felt that the other dungeon bosses were also intelligent when he compares podar to them this dungeon boss is in a league of its own Elma warns Lucy that the monster knows everything About the system it plans to blow Lucy away along with the ice pillar podar gets a mischievous look on its face the symbol it created above it starts to work the whole place
is filled with thunder and lightning one strong Thunder hits the ice pillar Elma shouts Lucy's name to see if she is okay podar is completely unaffected by the Thunders Lucy's face shows shock and fear as Elma shouts her name Lucy remembers what lady snow told her so she doesn't stop just When the monster's thunderstorm hits the ice pillar Lucy jumps she gets caught up by the impact but it's nothing she can't handle Lady Snow quickly reacts so she can help Lucy she creates a solid snowflake which catches Lucy in the air Lady Snow uses her
florist spell to save Lucy from dying but that makes podar angry Elma knows how hard it is to get magic control and timing on the first try he now knows why they call old ladies know a genius Elma also realizes That he had some misconceptions about her but she is a genius Lucy is on top of Lady Snow's snowflake so Elma runs to help her he is sure they can win the fight so he uses his life Shield spell to get his health points a tiny bit down that allows him to use his special move
the half dead Savage dragon his whole body is electrified Lucy draws near podar so she aims her dagger at the monster she jumps to use the same spell from before but the dungeon boss Channels its own spell Elma notices that Lucy won't make it because the boss is faster just by a tiny bit podar however simply freezes for a moment Elma uses his shadow step to keep it in check he knows that the higher the distance the lower the effect of his spell will be Elma is satisfied with his spell he knows that only one
moment of distraction is enough to buy Lucy the necessary time she jumps from the Snowflake and stabs podar once again she Hits the monster in the same spot and the same thing happens the monster gets a scull symbol on its thigh that means that the monster will start losing blood really fast as it falls to the ground a fountain of blood gashes out its neck lady snow is careful about everything still the impact of the Fall is huge but the monster is still alive podar stands up but it starts to Roar Elma thinks that the
monster is really tough because it shouldn't be able to move after all That Elma is ready for his attack he takes his stance everyone is shocked by his courage Elma slices through pod ares's neck and the monster is left decapitated its head is severed from the body with one final scream Elma stays in his attack pose as he looks at the experience points he had earned his half dead Savage dragon is at its it but everything is great the podar is defeated Isabella is completely in shock because she never imagined that Elma is So strong
she's happy that everything is over but she can't shake elma's power from her mind Elma knows that his half dead Savage dragon is about to reach its limit so he sheets back his sword Isabella asks Elma who he is but Elma only says that that skill tree isn't for everyone that sucks Isabella but she immediately shouts out for Lady Snow she's really worried about her but she's happy to find her alive and well Isabella starts to cry she wasn't sure Whether they will survive or no Lady Snow knows that Isabella fought in front with Elma
so she's happy that Isabella is not hurt that makes Isabella cry crocodile tears lady snow turns to Elma so she thanks him and Lucy they saved him so Lady Snow bows down her head Elma says that they owe thanks to each other neither one of them could have taken the podar down on their own L snow thinks about the whole incident she says that the wondering Lord was provoked so it Can Target her Elma and Lucy just happen to be there Lucy interrupts her she's happy so she gives her thanks to Lady Snow Lucy explains
that they would never have won without her magic Lady Snow flinches she's extremely shy so she gets nervous Isabella starts to rage at Lucy for her inappropri rate Behavior Elma realizes that lady snow is weird Isabella tries to get Lady Snow to talk again snow only looks up at her with her face completely red she hides behind Isabella which means she will not speak Isabella changes the topic she asks Elma how many dream Lords did they defeat they look so accustomed to fighting them Elma thinks about it for a moment podar is their fourth dream
Lord that number amazes Isabella she knows that they have experience but she didn't expect so much that information surprises ladies sow as well Isabella points out how Lady Snow encountered three dream Lords in her entire life she was accompanied by 20 Guards the first two times that makes Lady Snow even more shy Isabella talks about the fight with podar she's happy that they managed to turn the tables the bandits provoked the dream Lord to kill them but they end up killing the dream Lord instead Elma thinks that lady snow isn't a good fit for the
next family head she has no determination which is a necessary characteristic for Leaders The Dream Lord starts to disintegrate Lucy goes back to its dead body she finds out They have a new drop she picks up a spear that's taller than her it's the bird king spear that's worth 40 million gold the spear has a win skill just like podar Isabella says that it's extremely lucky to get drops from dream Lords Lucy Smiles but she can't use that weapon Elma explains that they should sell weapons they aren't familiar with that makes him remember he asks
Isabella about the price of the Grim Reaper assassin Elma knows that its price is Around 100 million gold but it could be much higher as well Isabella thinks about it for a second she says that they will happily take this spear so that will make them equal Elma is baffled he tells Isabella that the book is much pricier than the spear Lucy gets afraid because of that she starts coughing Lucy says that she will spit the book out but Elma tells her that things don't exactly work like that Isabella explains that they saved her and
Lady Snow the other Reason they want a spear is to have proof of defeating the dream Lord Elma realizes that they want to say that they defeated the dream Lord he asks Lucy if she's all right with that but Lucy doesn't mind l lady snow finally speaks up she tells Isabella that they aren't taking the spear but Isabella doesn't understand Lady Snow repeats what Isabella just said they saved their lives she explains that they got involved with their Feud and that causes Trouble snow says that she is too caught up to get achievements she's afraid
that she lost sight of her true goal Isabella protests she says that they need more than empty words to protect the maris's family Lady Snow colly tells her that she was never into fantasies or battles the reason why she takes part in them is to meet the expectations her father has Lady Snow wants to protect her mother's position in the family she adds that she is impressed after seeing Elma and Lucy Fight she also loves the idea of geniuses so she loves to be called that Isabella explains that she understands that good speech alone isn't
enough to make politics work Lady Snow tells her that she wants people to know her by her abilities she wants to become the head of the family in a way where people can rely on her she knows that that path will not be easy for her Isabella bows down she tells snow that she accepts her determination Isabella adds that asking For the bird king spear is a lousy idea she's really happy with Lady Snow's growth Isabella turns to Elma she asks if he can sell the spear for 50 million gold that will be enough Lady
Snow SCS her by pining her arm and for all of you saying down in the comments that I'm an AI I'm a really Advanced AI where even my throat where even my throat can go sore after not hydrating it for a couple of minutes now the dungeon also starts to disappear everyone teleports back to The entrance and we see four of them Isabella wishes that the person that was after them stays in the dungeon L noow wonders whether she can have relatives that leave clues that easily she adds how everyone is willing to risk everything
to become the next head of the family that also requires rigorous training she doesn't believe anyone from her family will go that far as to injure her Isabella tells her that people are unpredictable one can never know what Others think Isabella also adds that they shouldn't blame the obvious villains the bandits in this case she says that their true enemies hide behind masks to conceal their true intentions snow is aware of that but she says that no one went to such Extreme Measures before Isabella says that it doesn't have to be someone from her family
but it can easily be someone that supports them she adds how there might be some shady characters involved Elma also Thinks about the whole situation he knows that the podar moves strategically end with a plan that might point to the fact that anyone might fail that also makes it even harder to narrow down their search to find the culprit Lucy sees that Elma invests himself a lot to think about everything she asks him if such disputes are common amongst Nobles Elma wonders if something like that happens in his family as well as far as he
knows it didn't happen in the Advent Family they rely on the power of their head who is elma's Father the family also isn't interested in politics because the family doesn't have a lot of in fluence lady Snow's family on the other hand is a different story they are one of the top five noble families in the country that explains why the conflict within the family is so severe Elma says that another question needs to be answered he thinks that the scenario they just completed with that dream Lord Is the same as the one in the
graveyard of Lamentations someone knows everything about dream holes that someone might be the same person Elma first thought that it is someone from Snow's family but there is a flaw there if it were like that they would try to come after snow many times Elma looks up to the cliff so Lucy asks him if everything is all right she wants to know if he spoted anything unusual Elma explains that if the whole Thing is an assassination attempt the culprit will want to look at the outcome the safest way to do that is from the top
of the cliff but the cliff is empty Elma comments how the atmosphere is a bit off Isabella tells him that he needs not to worry about them she says that it is solo their problem which they have to take care of Isabella thanks Elma and Lucy for saving them she thinks that it's a bit shameful for the next head to be saved her resol is to train so they Can improve their situation Isabella steps in front of everyone to deliver her final message El thinks that she's taking it too far Lady Snow grips her hand
she signals Isabella to move to the side so she can speak up lady snow expresses her gratitude to Elma for their help she is still impressed with their skill snow says that she wants to become strong like them she thinks that that will make her worthy of the position of the head she shyly bows down To thank them once again Elma is confused he bows down as well he says that it's an honor to hear that from the next family head lady snow is completely exhausted not from the fight but from the fact that she
spoke publicly she crashes but Isabella catches her Lim body she comments how she rarely speaks her heart out Isabella takes her back she warns Elma not to have any ideas in his head about lady snow which confuses him meanwhile in a dark Castle a man Walks through the hallways he sits on the throne The Man mumbles how he can't underestimate one particular man the mysterious guy loves the feeling he has after he sits on the throne he's ready to move on to the next step of his plan a couple of days pass after the whole
incident Lady Snow said that she wants to thank Elma properly for their help in the tower of mythical Beast they have been invited to a meeting so Lady Snow can have it how she plans out Elma tells Lucy that their family is really prestigious so they have to follow the dress code Lucy immediately gets nervous they roam the city and enter one shop Lucy is happy to see all the fancy clothes everything shines she can't take her eyes off she wonders if the store has anything that fits her Elma looks around the place as well
he finds out that they have decorative equipment that's jewelry with certain Buffs but it's kind of pricey the owner of the Store walks in to welcome them she is a lady with a large hat on her head she welcomes them into the Phoenix garments store she scans them immediately the fact that a heavy Knight in a Jester with equipment are in her shop surprises her the woman becomes suspicious but Elma knows that both Mr burga and the Guild Master judg them based on their equipment Elma tells the woman that they are B rank at adventurers
the difference is that they have money before Elma Tells what they need the woman Cuts him off she says that their equipment looks dirty because of all the Battle Scars the woman explains that their appearance reflects their inner State her philosophy is that people that neglect their appearance also neglect their soul Elma realizes what the woman wants to say he says that he needs formal attire they have been invited to a meeting with the mares family the woman can't believe what she hears she calms down because This is a big deal the woman gives Elma
one outfit so he tries it immediately and looks satisfied the owner of the store goes on to tell Elma about all the different options that they have Elma says that he isn't picky so he's fine with the first suit the woman then turns to Lucy to scan her she does all sorts of measurements on her grabs some clothes and they go behind the curtains the woman pops out her head to tell Elma that the area is off limits for men Lucy Tries out several dresses she isn't too pleased with any of them she never wore
anything like that so she shockingly asks the woman if they really suit her the woman tells that they are a great fit she also has some other outfits but I mean let's be honest those look ridiculous Lucy finally sees one dress that pequs her interest Elma Waits for her at the counter he's happy with the quality of the performance the price also seems okay Lucy comes out in the Red dress that she picked Elma thinks she looks amazing and is left baffled the woman starts to blabber about all the details of the dress but Elma
tells Lucy that she looks perfect that makes her really happy Lucy and Elma spend their free time roaming the city they visit the Lively Market but when time comes they go to visit the hod Mansion when they arrive there they are shocked with how grandio everything looks they walk across the carpet in the Middle With Butlers lined up from both sides Lucy is so afraid that she thinks that she's just entered the new world she says that it would have been better if Elma came by himself Isabella Hears A Familiar voice so she greets them
she says that they shouldn't feel like that because they help ladies no Isabella adds that she doesn't want them to feel overwhelmed she explains that the current head of the family is busy so they aren't involved in the organization One Butler opens the door for them so they enter a long hallway Isabella tells them that Maris whole Todd is a very cold person even to his daughter ladies no she explains that he loves practicalities over formalities Isabella tells them this so they don't feel offended this is okay with Lucy she likes it more that way
Elma is really curious about the type of the person Maris is Elma knows that his presence is intimidating he also hears that his Family members are suspects but they control the largest military that protects the city Elma hopes to find out about their stance on the recent incidents Lucy asks Isabella whether or not the Maris is really that scary like everyone says Isabella responds that she has the right information she describes him as having a mouth like a dragon his ears together with his nose resemble a devil and his eyes are that of a goblin
Isabella makes a scary face when she Describes mares and Lucy gets afraid Isabella adds that it's a good thing for the family that lady snow is the next head she opens the door to the guest room so they can rest Isabella has a surprise there it's Maris halto and ladies no his first words are that he's happy that snow resembles his wife because she is beautiful lady snow sits there in silence so Elma and Lucy are completely shocked Isabella confusingly asks why they are in the guest room in The first place Maris says that a
father should appear at his daughter's reception Isabella apologizes but ladies no apologizes as well as she thinks it's her fault snow explains that Maris wants to speak with Elma Maris shows them to their seats but he keeps his eyes on Elma Elma confusingly listens to him so they sit down Elma thinks that they are lucky to meet with Maris he's certain that he isn't only a funny father the Butlers come in to serve the food Lucy Is amazed with how Posh everything looks she never sold the cutlery so she doesn't even know how to use
it she asks Elma if her behavior is okay but Maris says that she doesn't have to be stiff he's enjoying his steak in one hand with a glass of wine in the other he says that they can speak normally as they are the only ones here Lucy comments how Maris doesn't look scary Elma hopes that she's right but he's focused as he can see that something is wrong Maris has a Wicked smile While others stay quiet Maris hot's look is scary Elma and him sit at opposite sides so they see each other perfectly everyone can
feel the Eerie atmosphere in the guest room Elma has bad experience with fathers his father disowned him but Lady Snow father doesn't look any better Elma hears that Maris harlene is a devious Man full of Pride Elma thinks that he will not try anything because they're basically commoners he can't let himself off guard Because of all the events that took place recently harlene opens the conversation with gratitude he shows to Elma for saving Lady Snow he knows about everything that happens around them Lady Snow tells him that he worries too much but he says that
he is fine harleen adds that candidates for the position of the head must be able to risk their lives he knows that people might resort to Despicable measures some may even Survive by sheer luck but he knows that The one who is alive in the end is the winner he eats his steak but everyone is alarmed by his words and Aura Elma interrupts him he wants to know if he thinks that the assassination attempt is part of the inheritance dispute in his family lady snow is startled Isabella starts to shout at Ella for asking the
Marquees such a question harlene CMS Isabella down he says that if she shouts the food will lose its taste the mares cly states that he will conduct an Investigation he thinks that it is the best course of action because it will reveal anything covert harleen knows that the whole thing has to be thorough he adds that if he finds the culprit among his family members he will kill them with his own hands he remarks that such a scenario will happen only within the family the atmosphere is intense Elma asks the mares if he thinks that
the attempt wasn't from within his own family Maris harlene is cutting so he Knows knows that Elma wants to know his Viewpoint about everything that happened Elma realized that he made a mistake for not asking a direct question the mares says that he acts respectfully only because of his daughter harleen tells Elma that he shouldn't test him like that with indirect questions Elma tries to defend himself but he knows deep down that harlene read him Elma wants to know if and to what extent the maris's family is involved he's interested in whether Or not the
same person is responsible Elma doesn't rule out the possibility that harleen himself is The Mastermind harlene breaks the silence and says that Elma is only stolen Elma doesn't understand where he wants to go with that statement the mares says that he's looking into the incident at the tomb of laminations he asks Elma about what kind of a person he thinks the culprit might be Elma thinks about the question Lucy stays silent she can understand how Tense the atmosphere is Elma says that the culprit must be someone who has a vast knowledge about the dream holes
more than anyone else the person knows what dream holes can be used for so they make experiments with various incidents before Elma could finish the mares bursts out laughing he crazily says that he manages the land with high level dream holes Maris harlene says that El thinks that he or his family is the main culprit these words shock everyone in The room Lucy immediately asks Elma if they should apologize but Elma stays Cal he is nervous but he tells the mares if he has any ideas about the culprit he should share them Haren Holton says
that he has some suspicions he says that it's not easy to obtain the knowledge he has about to dream holes the mar also states that he can replicate things but to be able to replicate those incidents is above his power level harlene Goes On by saying how he is also interested in Where the culprit gets his information from he mentions that a similar phenomenon is also at play at the same time Elma doesn't know what the mares means with that harlene HTO says that one day an adventurer appears that starts to rise in ranks and
reputation the mares comments that the adventurer acts like he has divine revelation he wants to know what guides that Adventurer the Mars has a green on his face while Elma is both confused and Nervous harleen who told looks at Elma with a crazy look on his face he asks Elma whether or not he thinks these similarities are quite odd Elma sits there but not long after he realizes where the Maris aims with that question he believes that harlene is talking about him Elma thinks about what the Maris just said his V Knowledge from the Magic
World game can make him a potential culprit Elma understands that with that knowledge he can intentionally Cause dungeon disasters he thinks that Haren wants to meet with him face to face because he suspects that he has that type of knowledge Elma is nervous while the Maris looks at him intensely Haren suddenly starts to laugh crazily Isabella and ladyes no Flinch harlene says that he makes himself laugh he knows that everyone has Secrets which might expose someone's Dark Side the mares plays with his Fork he almost finishes a drawing of a pentagram on his Plate Maris
says that if you see suspicious points it's easy to connect the dots he tells Elma that he shouldn't put all of his focus on one idea Elma laughs but he is nervous he finally understands why his father didn't like Maris Hood elma's father is stubborn he's completely inflexible Harlen hod on the other hand is cunning his Wicked personality doesn't allow anyone to see the full picture it's only natural for the two of them to not get along Harlen Says that Elma has his full trust Maris H to bets that Elma will survive long enough to
defeat the king's wonder he thinks that Elma is really a rare Adventurer Elma is nervous but he accepts harlin's praise Haron turns to his daughter snow she is shy but she chose to invite guests that surprises her father so he says that she and Elma should marry elma's class is strange in this opinion but no one can match his strength Lucy immediately starts to Choke on her food Lady Snow stands up from her chair from the shock Elma remains cold so he only tells the Maris that he jokes a bit too much Isabella thinks that
it's already unusual to guests but that Maris makes it even worse Harlen continues he confirms that Elma is from the Advan family he believes that if he lands Elma his strength he can control the union of the two families which will give him the ultimate Monopoly that shock Selma he Didn't expect that in his Wildest Dream Isabella immediately asks Elma whether or not he's a noble she thinks that there is no other explanation for his swordsmanship skills Elma grips his fist because his secret got leaked out he tries to calm himself as much as he
can he tells harlene that he's happy with how things currently are Elma makes it clear that he doesn't want to talk about the subject of his family harlene Smiles but he apologizes for that he propos Oses a change of the subject harlene wants to cut right to the chase which pequs elma's interest Maris HD wants Elma to participate in a large scale Quest he says that the conditions are the same as the last time Elma and Lucy are at a loss for words so they don't say anything of course they get up to leave Elma
walks away from the castle angrily and Lucy follows him she asks him if he will participate in the large scale Quest that heren just mentioned Elma is deeply immersed in his thoughts he remembers what the Marquees said the large scale Quest has the goal to confirm the aim of the people responsible for the Zerg dream Hall destruction at the same time it will expose the culprits that act recklessly in Harlen H to's territory Elma realizes that they have the same conclusion if dream Halls continue to be destroyed the town will perish which will result in
thousands of deaths Lucy realizes that That makes it too dangerous for a large scale request to happen now Elma says that she is right he grips his Feist because he knows that harlene will still proceed with his plan it's also the very last chance to catch the culprit of the recent incidents Lucy doesn't understand why heren decided to tell them about his quest Elma tells her that she needs to remember their achievements up until now Harlen tests them continually he thinks that they need need to know about his Next Quest Elma frowns he says that
Maris harlene is an unpredictable man whom they can trust Elma is torn between what is wrong and what is right he's both someone who has vast knowledge of the world but on the other hand he's also a noble that should protect it that makes his wish to solve that case even bigger Elma knows that the quest Haren talks about is too dangerous he tells Lucy that they need to be careful care ful they must not act without thinking Twice the two of them agreed that they need a bit of extra time Lucy and Elma make
their way to a local Tavern a person yells out when they find out that they fought a wondering Lord at the tower of mythical beasts the person is none other than Kel the Hunter he needs to take a seep from his beer mug to collect himself Kel tells them that he didn't want to accept their invitation because his six sense skill activated he's happy because he thinks that he Made the right choice but Elma and Lucy aren't impressed Lucy is angry with him she says that he should have told them sooner Kel defends himself he
explains that his skill can sense nearby danger or nearby treasure he adds that it's not very reliable as it can confuse itself with bad feelings kelt also says that Lucy might regret if she stays so it's best like this he explains that there are some Scout classes that spread rumors without any evidence this is a Crime so he doesn't allow that for himself Elman Lucy get his point Lucy then apologizes because she has no idea that things are like that but Kel simply looks at her Elma thinks that kelt is honest he remembers how that
was a big issue in the Magic World game as well so it's safe to assume that kelt looks through the window he says that he did in fact spread rumors before on purpose purpose that statement angers Elma and Lucy Lucy feels bad because she turns Out to be a fool she will let mael know everything about him that scares Kel so he asks her not to do it he feels like she haunts him whenever he tries doing anything she's there to spoil it for him Elma teases him by telling Lucy that they get along great
Elma asks Kel something important he wants to know whether or not his skill can sense other things apart from moners and treasure chests Elma knows that no one could do something like that in the game but it Might be possible now Elma remembers an instance from the game one fisherman NPC told him that his six sense warned him so he's going home Elma believes so that is a good example because it's the closest he can come up with he thinks that he focuses too much on Kel's skills he feels like he can't see something that's
right in front of him kelt notices that he's bothered so he asks him what's wrong he thinks that they are still mad at him for not warning them so He apologizes Elma shockingly says that it's not that he explains that they had a good time in the tower of mythical beasts they managed to take away valuable items on top of all that they made contact with the whole Todd family kelt loses it when Elma tells him that they were welcomed by Lady snow in her Mansion kelt is jealous that they got in touch with the
noble he regrets the fact that he refused their invitation he asked him about Lady Snow kelt explains How the rumors say that she's cruel he hears that she doesn't talk at all but he thinks that she liked Elma Elma tells him to forget everything he heard about her only the parts where she is silent is true that makes only around 20% of the rumors that story reminds kelt of something important he tells them about the maris's large scale Quest a new stone is found in another dream hole a certain dream hole is mentioned but kelt
can't remember he's certain that Callos Will be in charge once again Elma and Lucy think about what Haren said about baiting the culprits kelt can't understand why their faces are so serious Elma apologizes for zoning out he asks skelt what he wants to do in regards to the large scale Quest kelt is smart enough to know that it's dangerous he doesn't even need his six sense to know that that much kelt says that he hears that even Nobles are involved his decision is that it's best not to Involve himself in such matters kelt believes that
Elma thinks like that too but Elma is in his thoughts Elma and Lucy make their way to another place maela greets them but she's a bit confused she says that harlene said that they can come whenever they want they realize that Matilda is strange she sigh because she didn't expect them to come back so soon Elma says that they hesitated for a while but he's sorry if their actions were a bit slow he wanted To inform Matilda before but they had no time Elma knows that the incident of the morning trapis hedron is under the
charge of the guild that makes it logical that harlene the Guild Master knows the most about it Elma has some suspicions he needs to confirm in regards with the maris's large scale Quest Matilda tells Elma that it's supposed to be okay but she wants to confirm with Miss harleen whether they can come in or not Elma steps back as She knocks on the door harleen asks her about why she wants to see her so she lets her in Matilda explains that she has two adventurers that want to speak with her about the large scale Quest
from the Maris Miss harlene rages she thinks that that is too abrupt Miss herlene goes on about how she's neck deep in paperwork that's connected to the last commotions after that she has negotiations with important Merchants after everything she needs to discuss The matters with the harlene family as well as the large scale Quest her point is that time is precious so she wants to know why Matilda brings in adventurers Matilda doesn't even have the chance to explain that it's Elma and Lucy Lucy says that she might just take a nap as it takes Matilda
too long to come out Elma agrees that they came suddenly so it's best if they rescheduled their meeting Matilda opens the doors to tell Elma that miss harlene is too busy but She hears elma's name Miss harlene instantaneously appears at the door to welcome them in she scolds Matilda for not telling her it's them harlene accepts them into her office she thinks that Elma wants to accept her proposal she offers him the position in the Guild in Loria but Elma disappoints her when he says that that's not why they came Miss herlene sits on her
chair she clears her throat so she's ready she already knows that they helped lady snow So she wants to thank them for that Miss Haren is surprised by what they managed to achieve in such a short time Elma doesn't care about formalities he asks Miss harleen if she knows anything about the request from the mares Miss her's face immediately changes into a serious one so she asks Matilda to leave them alone for a moment harlene cleans her desk a little she puts her fan on the table Matilda informed her about the request by the mares
she knows that H Told asked Elma to investigate the traitors in the next trade Elma knew that his task is difficult so he is a bit shocked Elma immediately envisions a chessboard in his head he believes that they can find an Insider with someone who has more influence than the mares family Elma is not sure whether they only want that or if they have ulterior motives he feels that he and Lucy are only pawns which Haren HD moves Elma can't grasp what he wants from them Miss Haren tells them that the rumors are already strong
everyone knows that there is a RAID tomorrow the goal is to conquer the submerged ideal city Miss herlene says that they will announce the recruitment for the quest she explains that it's the same thing as in the Tomb of Soros the mor in chapis hedron is found the place is full of monster pool Lucy wonders about the ideal city that she mentioned she wants to know if that's the dream Hall she talks about Elma tells her that anything can become a dream hole all dream holes are part of the AL zaro's dreams Lucy remembers how
the last dream hole had the man-made Sky the sky was so vast they couldn't see past it Elma says that this dream hole is different if a disaster occurs only high level adventurers can enter miss her can't understand why he needs help with that Elma asks her if the guild was responsible for the investigation on the incident at the tomb of Soros he wants The report of the investigation Miss herlene says that she went over it but she didn't find anything suspicious she explains how only they were present during the incident no one escaped the
dream hole it is also far from truth that someone might have targeted them particularly because the parties were picked by The Guild Elma still wants to have a look he thinks that adventurers might Overlook something because of nearby monsters they might even remember Things incorrectly it's a possibility that they lie or hide the truth on purpose M thinks about what he says for a moment she thinks it's pointless to go over the report once again but she hands it to Elma her only wish is for him not to tell anyone that she allowed him to
have Insight the following morning flocks of adventurers enter the city they see the announcement on the wall it's a call for adventurers for the submerged ideal city raid the reward PLL Is 50 million gold with a bonus for healers The Guild recommends that adventurers are at least level 80 which makes a lot of adventurers quit they realize that it's too dangerous it's risky even for the top tier adventurers Lucy also thinks that the level 80 recommendation is too high she wonders if the dream Lord would reach level 100 if it evolves again Elma stands right
besides her but he Ys Lucy never saw that before so Elma apologizes he Explains how he didn't get enough sleep he read the investigation report he found out that some adventurers had skill sets which might trick others so they have a false Alibi but there is nothing that can benefit them Elma also knows that people in that world don't really know how to optimize their skill sets so that is no proof he is happy to have read the report but he isn't certain if he found anything useful Lucy asks Elma if he's okay but he
says he'll Be fine Elma wants to apologize because they are once again in a tight situation Lucy tells him not to worry about it she wants to protect the city as well Lucy laughs she says how they face death a couple of times now so that makes them comrades Elma is happy so he thanks her someone shouts at them the person tells them not to get too confident Elma looks all around but he can't see anyone Lucy tells him to lower his gaze Elma finally sees Hildy she's as angry as ever she Thinks that they
mock her all the time H didn't forget the duel she had against Elma Elma tells her that the raid is a life or death situation even for B rank adventurers H tells him to take care because she wants to have her revenge when Elma yon's in front of her that makes her even more Angry Lucy has to explained that he didn't sleep that's why he's Ying Elma apologizes for the way he acted in their duel but he sees her Scythe Elma commented how good it Fits her that comment completely changes how Hildy behaves she says
that the weapon is strong because of its special effect that comes with a powerful bonus the sight Hy has on her back is one of the sights Lucy and Elma picked up in the tower of the mythical beasts they sold them to a shop H must have bought one when it was on sale Elma asks Hildy if she will join the raid she has the same question for them Elma tells her that magic swordsman like her consume a Lot of Mana it was okay for her to enter the cemetery of Sorrows but this is a
whole different thing now H yells out how there will be a shortage she explains that she is The Apprentice to the black flame blade so she needs to join Hy doesn't want to be underestimated she explains how she can defeat the weak monsters without Mana Elma sees that she does have at least some sense of Duty Elma knows that she will team up with Callos again because Of that she should be fine as Callos has the Sixth Sense skill that is really good for exploring dream holes the downside is the fact that you sacrifice offensive
powers for that Elma knows that it's hard to build an overall good character Hildy says that she doesn't want to rely on Kos she didn't know that Elma knew kalos's skills Elma simply says that he deduced it from everything he knows Hildy asks Elma how he can know so much about skilled trees as Elma Speaks with Hildy Lucy knows that he's a master on that matter Kos joins them with a smile on her face she hopes that Elma and Lucy will join the raid Kos makes it clear that she never wanted to take care of
Hildy that surprises her but Kos says that she felt that Dy as a senior call explains that she didn't help Hy too much her progress is credited to her hard work Kos tells her that she has no need to repay her it would be better if Hy passes that Knowledge further that makes Hildy proud she turns to Elma so she can have a proud moment Elma asks kellos if she suggested the raid to the guild she explains that she talked more with Maris Hood I always get a brain lag when I try to pronounce his
name whole thought I don't know why anyways Kos says that he approached her as he wanted her advice on the whole matter Kos also feels that something is off which Peaks elma's interest Kos notices that the main Family doesn't get along well with the branch family she thinks that Elma is aware of that because he worked with him before she turns around to make sure no one is nearby callus Whispers to Elma that there was an assassination attempt Elma and Lucy already know about that but Hildy doesn't she freaks out but K says that they
are on that case for a while Kos knows for a fact that the raid will be the most dangerous one up until now she courageously says that she will Not back down no matter what that comment gets Hildy riled up as well she gets a boost of morale so she says that she will join the raid as well Kos tells her that the raid might be too much for her to handle she also asks Hildy about her new sight Hildy proudly says that she has nothing to fear with her new sight Elma thinks that Hildy
is a bit too much excited K kneels down to tell hild that she needs to return that side to the shop she will give her a new Sword that's better later that evening Lucy and Elma met up with kelt and Mabel mael immediately wants to know why Elma wants to talk with them Elma says that he needs a favor from them he says that it's too dangerous so if they think they can't do it they should refuse kelt asks Elma if his favor is related to the submerged ideal City Raid Elma doesn't say anything so
kelt understand that he is right Elma says that he can't tell kelt anything if he values his safety Too much Elma says that they plan to join the raid because another morning chapis hedron is involved Elma can't Overlook that that even makes kelt want to hear more but he tells his opinion to Elma kelt loves the fact that Elma has a strong sense of justice he also thinks that only idiots are willing to accept that big of a risk kelt is certain that it doesn't matter whether they join the ra or not the Nobles will
just be fine on their own Lucy sees that Elma is a Bit anxious about the whole thing Elma tells Kell that he agrees with him he also believes that it's the nobility that has to take care of the business kelt also mentions how they have black flame blade callus in Loria as well kelt is aware of both his strengths and weaknesses he says that he's on the weaker side of B rank adventurers no one says a thing for a moment when kelt insults mael for being a c rank Adventurer that makes her angry but not
As much as calling her little Mabel is certain that she has enough battle experience even as a Healer she believes that she is stronger than kelt the situation calms down so Elma takes the word he says that the raid will conduct in groups of four just like the last time this time it's a bit different because there is a high possibility that some groups contain traitors that's the main reason why Elma wants kelt and maple on his team Kel is really nervous He says that things became much less appealing to him now that traitors are
involved he wants to know if Mabel shares his opinion Mabel calmly says that she's okay to join the raid she likes when people rely on her but kelt can't believe what she said even Elma and Lucy are surprised with how quickly she gave them an answer Mabel takes kelt by the hand she says that he should also join so he can repay his debt she mentions the time and he tried to leave Them by running away to save himself Kel starts to panic he says he needs some time to think nabel says that she knows
what kind of a person Elma is Elma tells her that she doesn't have to push herself if she doesn't think she can do it Mabel says that normally she would always hesitate before joining such a raid she believes that things make sense because of their skills Lucy doesn't say a word but she nods her head in agreement Elma says that she is Overdoing it a bit but he is happy for trusting them he explains that it is much easier for him to work with people whom he shared his status with they all know each other
so that is their strength Elma also knows both the monsters and the terrain of the submerged ideal city that makes it even more probable that they will be successful without larger issues Elma goes on to say that even if they come across a Wandering Lord they should be Able to manage it he is certain that no other group will be as efficient as they Mabel now starts to have second thoughts after all she heard Elma say Mabel turns back to kelt she wants to know his opinion she also reminds him that he owes everyone a
favor but that angers him because he already knows it Mabel makes fun of him even more she reminds him how he cried when they cleared the cemetery of sorrow's dungeon he cried but Mabel says that he never looked More Alive she points out that she saw him as an adventurer but not someone who begs to find Pennies on the floor kelt is really mad with himself he wants to quit but he knows he owes everyone an apology he adds that three of them can't do it without him after praising himself as an elite Scout he
says that he will join them as well kelt extends his fist towards Elma Elma happily bumps his fist with a smile on his face Elma knows that he will be okay with the two of them in His team kelt tries to trick maybell to giving him some money but she comments how she already knew that kelt would accept he only wanted to make a show out of it the day of the raid is here the horses pull the adventurers in the carriages every Carriage has space for four adventurers or for one party Elma sits in
a carriage with Lucy Mabel and kelt he looks out the window Elma sees that there are around 20 carriages from the maris's troops kelt still thinks That the whole thing is kind of fishy the prize money is raised but regular adventurers aren't willing to take part that's the main reason why the Maris has to send his troops Mabel says that they must give it their all Lucy and Elma are happy because she's enthusiastic but kelt doesn't share her motivation Mabel gets angry so she punches him in the face Elma turns to Lucy he is happy
that she has a new outfit that makes her happy as well not only it looks nice but It also increases some of her Elma says that it has decent bonuses apart from its defensive properties Lucy says that she already feels stronger Kel is excited about Lucy but Mabel gets angry because he wasn't excited for her the carriage moves on Elma checks his status menu since he allocates eight skill points into his vow of the heavy armor he unlocks a new skill it's a special skill the knight's conviction Lucy notices that so she asks him about
It Elma explains that he new skill gives him resistance to sleep in frzy status ailments Lucy thinks that that sounds great but Elma is a little bit skeptical he thinks that his new skill won't work Elma remembers how in the game the resistance to these status elements didn't help the users normally every night class should overcome the ailments by sheer willpower the knights are often ridiculed for not being able to handle confusion Elma says that there is a way To use the skill but that will cut in handy later on he explains that he actually
wants the next skill it's the magicar skill Elma is really happy because he can increase the defensive power of his shield if he covers it in Magic Kil comments how a heavy Knight must rely on that skill Elma says that since everyone knows about each other's skills he feels awkward to allocate his skill points in secret that said Elma also has a favor to ask from bbel he Remembers all of her skills as well as is how she spends her skill points Elma asks her to put all of her new skill points into her staff
of Faith three when she gets a new level Mabel has no objections as she maxes out that skill tree after all they are near the starting location they can already see the entrance to the submerged ideal city it's in the middle of a swamp that's infested with slimy monsters Elma explains that they are called Umi they Attack with their tentacles at close range umani can also shoot water magic from a distance kelt wonders how Elma knows all that stuff but Lucy thinks the monsters look cute everyone looks at her with a strange look she starts
to think that she said something wrong Elma tells her to take a closer look one of the monsters spawns its tentacles so Lucy gets scared the fight begins as the maris's troops March at the Umi Elma jumps out as well his strategy is the Following kelt will create openings Lucy will strike and Mabel will cover them from the rear kelt warns Elma not to go too close to the monsters but Elma Cuts them down Elma tells them they don't need to worry kelt thinks that they will have to rely on him and Elma on them
if they wish to be successful Elma finds himself in the middle of the river three umon attack him from each side he uses his skills to keep them at Bas so he defeats them without much effort kelt Comments how skillful Elma is Elma tells him that it is his role to attract aggression onto himself Kell takes out his bow but he aims towards the sky and this surprises Elma Kell stays Cal so he fires his Arrow the arrow pops one Monster's eye that feet leaves Elma speechless he thinks that kelt's aim is impressive kelt says
that he can't miss from that distance Mabel congratulates him because he doesn't try to land the finishing blow as he used to do before The Fight Continues as the maris's soldiers march on kelt asks Elma if he wants Lucy to land the finishing blow because of her speed Elma thinks about Lucy he thinks that her compatibility is great against High defensive monsters like the Umi Lucy marches forward she lands behind the monster that Elma keeps entertained Lucy prepares her dagger she sticks it through the monster's belly after a second the skull appears on the surface
and the monster's body Skyrockets into the air due to the stream of blood everyone looks in disbelief but Lucy gains 446 experience points she does her victory dance as she is happy to defeat one monster Kel is confused so Elma tells him that Lucy is their main attacker now unlike in the cemetery of sorrow's dream Hall the maris's soldiers are left in disbelief Lucy quickly gets surrounded which she doesn't like one Umi rushes at her but Mabel uses her magic to stop it her ice Magic can't save her because one Umi locks its sights onto
her Elma sees that so he acts quickly he uses his shadow stomp to stop the monster in its place Lucy jumps out from the water and stabs the monster with her dragon slayer thrust that's another one down another 510 experience points for Lucy Elma spots one Umi start to channel its water/ at Lucy he yells at her to move but Kel takes the Umi down Elma congratulates him not long after things Quiet down the maris's soldiers comment how elma's party took more than 10 monsters on their own kelt knows that that is all thanks to
elma's knowledge but Elma says that Lucy's build also helped him out a lot the fight is over all of the monsters start to disintegrate Lucy notices that umon has dropped an item she sees a couple of more drops so kelt realizes that she has job enhancements he now knows the importance of a good character build the Items that they find are potions Elma says that their name is the Seas steer which is an Alchemy item adventurers use them to make special potions Kel takes one to see what it is about but Elma warns him to
put it away Kel thinks it's poisonous but the reason is different Elma tells him that it's worth around 600 million gold per potion so Kel freaks out he tells Elma that he should tell him things like that sooner one of the maris's soldiers comes up she tells Elma that he's always in the center of attention she takes off her helmet and it's Isabella she's a bit angry because lady Snow's achievements are unseen snow is calm but everyone stands like statues when she shows herself Isabella asks her if she wants her to speak in her place
but lady snow has things under control she takes a deep breath snow thanks Elma for saving them against the podar she also apologizes for the behavior of the Maris during the reception while she Talks kelt notices her when he stands in front of her snow gets startled so she hides behind Isabella kelt realizes that Elma did tell him the truth Mabel also sees her for the first time Isabella sees that Elma has companions so she asks lady snow if she can talk but snow simply shakes her head Isabella immediately starts to scream at Elma she
says that his favors don't mean anything anymore Isabella says how elma's companions only take up space that's all She has to say so she and Lady Snow leave elma's party is left without a clue what just happened they move on four guards make sure that the entrance to the dream Hall is secured elma's party steps inside so so they find themselves inside the submerged ideal city the place is a flooded mansion with water and broken statues everywhere Lucy thinks it's worse than she imagined it to be the quest has two goals they need to defeat
as many monsters so they can Shatter the morning chapis hedron after that is done everyone comes together to defeat the dream Lord Elma reminds everyone that Harlen halted says that there is a traitor Elma will give his best to find out who that is that's why Elma has another strategy they will go straight to the dream Lord's chamber so they can block anyone who might want to enter Elma switches the priority of the quests tasks but his party is ready the soldiers outside the entrance of the Dream Hall also keep watch since the submerged ideal
city is unexplored the map of the dungeon is a bit rough with all that elma's party will try to stop the cheaters' plan as they walk Elma asks Mabel if she got a level during the um onlyi hunt Mabel sadly says that that's not the case kelt says they can't do anything there because the Umi didn't have a high level Elm says that they need to focus on higher level monsters he starts to draw in the map but Mabel Thinks that that's awkward Elma explains that there are patterns when it comes to dream holes he
tells her that it doesn't matter if the terrain is random because it will never be inconsistent on top of that the dream Lords is chamber is always a certain distance away from the entrance Elma says that since they have 30% of the info they can easily infer another 20% he completes his sketch so he thinks that they won't fall behind Lucy goes to Elma she is certain that he Is right Mabel and kelt are confused they can't fathom how Elma knows everything they walk through the submerged ideal city the whole place is in Ruins kelt
warns everyone to prepare themselves once they go go out into the plaza everyone grips their weapons they arrive at the plaza but it looks empty Elma tells them to stay alert in the blink of an eye they are surrounded by Umi Elma shouts that they need to reach the red building where they can lose the Monsters Lucy is skeptical because there are too many of them Kell tells her that they need to listen to Elma so she makes a run for it Elma stays behind everyone so he can give them some time he uses his
defensive skills to keep the umani at B one Umi uses a water slash but Elma uses his shield bash to throw another monster at the attack the attack connects Elma season opening he thinks it's the best time to make a run for the red building As he runs towards the building he gets chased by the monsters they start to close in on Elma but kelt shoots them right in the face with his arrows Elma thanks him so they're happy that they managed to stick to their plan Elma explains that what they did isn't that hard
Kel still thinks about how he knows all of that Mabel looks at the map they should be close to the dream lords's chamber kelt thinks that it's way too soon he says that they will only have to Wait for others to arrive Elma explains that it's best to wait they can make sure nothing happens Kel senses something he tells everyone that his six sense is activated he explains that there is something close to them Elma says that he doesn't want to go against the plan but he thinks thinks it's best to check it out Elma
tells Kell to lead the way he knows that if they continue to progress like that they will quickly arrive at dream lords's chamber he wants Able to gain two levels before anything happens they arrive at a broken gate they enter the area kelt Scouts the place he kneels down to pick something up from the water he pulls out his hand only to see that he's holding the morning trap as he drawn kelt feels disappointed he thinks that it might been something more valuable but one of the objects of the raid is to destroy the Chap's
Hedon so that's a good thing kelt he swings his arm to smash the item But he notices that the water in front of him is Disturbed a monster pops out it it scratches Kel's left arm even though he tries to dodge the attack kelt falls to the ground but the monster disappears under the water again Lucy shouts she asks Elma what the Monster was Elma feels the pressure as well it's a monster he has never never seen before he knows that it's too big to hide in Shallow Waters Elma realizes that the monster has a
skill which lets it go Underground from the fact that it's a human fish hybrid Elma realizes that it's a rare monster he thinks that it's an evolved form of a mermaid Lucy didn't know that monsters could have evolved forms Elma explains that mermaids are often afraid they normally run away from others this one must be influenced by the morning chapis hedron that's why became ferocious Elma is concerned with the fact that the monster decides to lie in the water to wait for someone to Attack he comes up with a strategy since they don't know the
monsters' skills Elma will draw its attention nabel and Kel need to support them but Elma sees that kelt is still on the ground kelt explains that he is paralyzed the monster's clothes have a paralytic toxin so he isn't able to move Elma is in a pinch he knows that mapel can treat kelt but that that's not a good idea right now Elma can't let her heal kelt now because that way he won't be able to Protect anyone he shouts that they will change their plan everyone regroups around kelt Elma tells Mabel to wait with healing
kelt because they need full focus on the monster he hopes they can kill it in a single blow they wait for the monster to appear again it pops its head out kelt senses the water behind him Ripple he turns around to point where the monster is it already pounced at Lucy in that moment they see that it's a level 76 monster called akuro Lucy is really scared she manages to block the attack with her dagger as she holds the monster in a clinch Mabel uses her ice magic the monster immediately Dives under the water to
dodge Elma realizes that he will not be able to use his half dead Savage dragon because the monster has the ability to paralyze them he knows that the monster will give them a lot of trouble and that's all for all the 20 new chapters that came out ever since I recapped the previous chapters In the previous video I love this manga it's so unique it's so amazing if you want to see more parts I will recap them as soon as they come out or maybe it's better to wait couple of weeks or in this case
