The Nameless Crown
Chapter 29 - Dungeon Break III
It is different from Ash and Fion. Some players who feel that they are in a mysterious trap begin to find a way out of the fog forest.
Some people assume that the place they are now visiting is a forbidden place. There are also those who think that they have found a hidden treasure, but unfortunately all these assumptions have no effect at all for a well-built little girl.
His behavior seemed a little tickling and sometimes ignorant, but all the actions he did was a plan as well as a tactic that he had just developed with his temporary team.
In the dark, thin fog that enveloped the entire forest, a spear-wielding man was standing on a tree trunk. His eyes squinted, watching around while keeping a position as a watchdog pole.
It is the Skirt, the Lancer. “Are we there, Elen?”
“Maybe? My instincts say that this place is the right place”
“I've been watching this place like you said, but what the hell's the reply. Maybe?”
Elen who was found a little nosy was confirmed by Sera. The Elf-born woman wore a sinister expression and looked at the Girl carrying Halbert very intensely.
“It wasn't you who wanted to come here, Elen?”
“E-ehehe. Sorry, it looks like the compass I just bought turned out to be fake,” Elen replied awkwardly.
“Already, Sera. We know that this place is also not an ordinary Dungeon, so just understand Elen for this time”
“Andre! You are too good as a team leader, once try to be firmly”
“Ahahaha. Even though this is me that is a firm person, later also you will definitely know.”
The four-member team is Andre, Sera, Rokh, and also Elen as temporary members. Once they get the news about the special mission from the notification panel just like Ash and the other Players.
They also get additional information from Rokh. Where the information said that the first Pillar had been defeated a few days ago and the second was regarding the secret Dungeon.
This second piece of information he had obtained by accident when selling their team's catch to an NPC merchant. As a person who has sharp hearing, he managed to hear faintly from several players who passed around the place.
Although the information he got was not yet concrete. However, he still brought the earshot to his team-mates.
At first they were still doubtful about it, but once they tried to go to the place that was rumored to have access to the secret Dungeon. They found a lot of players coming from all over the place.
Seeing this, Andre as team leader stated that the information that Rokh managed to get was the truth. The fact that so many players are arriving is indisputable.
Because that refers to both of these things they plan everything in just one day. Good from supplies, tools, road routes, and other things.
Finally it came to this day, where they had been in the middle of the illusion fog forest. Surviving the onslaught of the monster wave. Without Elesis [Lilith] as a healer, their team lost one core, but even so they had no intention of retreating.
Luckily Elen was in the right place and the right time. Andre also proposed cooperation to the big Halbert carrying girl. He also agreed and wala, now the four of them entered into a party.
“As a Lancer, I have sharp eyesight and hearing. From earlier there was only fog, trees, mist, trees. I don't see any way out”
“How about tracking the monster trail?”
Rokh rubbed his chin and thought.
“That's a pretty good idea, Elen. Unfortunately I do not have a tracking Skill, although there is one passive Skill that is similar, but the effect is different far”
“For example?”
“Sensor .. or more simply my senses can catch anything suspicious quickly. I'm sure Sera and Andre at least know about this, but it's different for you, Elen”
“Hmm. It is true that the sensor is a passive skill that is almost like tracking. So is there any advice for next steps?” ask Elen while changing the topic.
The three members of his team were silent for a while before finally breaking apart due to the mysterious growling sound that sounded from within the forest fog.
“It looks like we have an uninvited guest, eh?”
Andre began to position himself as a guard door, Sera jumped backwards while preparing a bow while Rokh who was not far from Andre alerted his spear.
On the other hand Elen instantly activated the ability of [Taunt] and [Reflector] simultaneously. As a unique player he has replaced Andre and Rokh.
This time if there were monsters coming crashing, the first target that would be its prey would be Elen himself. Thanks to that Sera can unleash the ultimate attack with ease.
However, after a while they waited, and kept a good position. Strangely, not a single monster came or showed the tip of his nose.
The grunts actually came from within the Dungeon. Where a gigantic figure appeared with an incredible growl that could shake the ground, shake the ceiling of the cave, and give off an aura of gloom.
Even as a unique player other than Elen and Ash. Fion and Fiona also understand the horror of the creature, unfortunately it cannot be felt by the group of Elen.
Their team is more or less still lost inside the forest fog and has yet to get an answer to the feeling of being lost. To overcome this, Rokh now uses his sensor passive ability to track monster tracks.
It didn't take too long for him to find a way out. Wade through piles of bones, weed grass to chase other monsters to reach the exit.
Right now they had been right in front of the destroyed bridge. The entrance to the secret Dungeon had now appeared before them.
“Now what?” ask Sera.
“This bridge was destroyed and the only way to enter the rumored secret Dungeon is impassable,”.
“Aha!”
The curious Sera immediately approached Elen. “Where did you get this Jumper, Elen?”
“I bought it from the same merchant, hehehe. Turns out that damn merchant was of no use to also”
“Jumper?” Andre tilted his head.
“Iya. This object is similar to an ordinary dish, but if we stand on it, then automatically we will be taken flying severalteen or even tens of meters to the top,” replied Sera.
“Oh! So it's like.”
Rokh hit his palm slowly, then with a curious expression he came closer to Elen.
“So what are you waiting for? Let's stand on it immediately!”
“Whoa, whoa ... calm down guys. I know you've always liked things like this, but for now try to calm yourself”
“You have absolutely no understanding of a man's romance, Andre”
“Not understand, but rather less trust. You think the item purchased on the same NPC sword as the compass before will work just fine, huh?”
“Hmm. Right too, I got too carried away, I'm sorry.”
Seeing the behavior of his team-mates, Sera could only hold back her small laugh while Elen looked surprised by Andre's statement.
“It's true I bought it at the same merchant, but is it possible this is also broken?”
“Try seeing the caption first, Elen”
“Alright, Sera.”
Following the advice of the Elf Archer, Elen checked the Jumper by tapping on the icon with a gear, and the triangle on the top right side.
Like most children who are excited about getting their dream toy. Elen was shocked because he only realized all this time he had never checked the condition of Jumper.
As a result, once he found out that the durability of the item was close to 10%, he was angry. However, the girl carrying Halbert could not vent it to anyone, and preferred to laugh awkwardly.
Sera who saw that instantly stroked her forehead. He also knew Elen was the type of person who never checked the state of an item when buying something. This is what he got when he went shopping with him in recent days.
His appearance may seem very antique and gothic, but the original nature in a small body is indeed a child. Nothing more than camouflage to cover up his carelessness that can no longer be helped.
“U-u-ughh ... “
“Already. We have no other choice, inevitably we have to try it even if it will harm us,” chirped Rokh with a gloomy expression.
“What Rokh said is true, we have no other choice. Especially so far, it would be very unfortunate if you had to retreat”
“Sound the team leader? He also agrees with me.”
Sera and Elen exchanged glances then gave a small nod.
“Good. Before that I want you to drink this”
“Elen ... what is this?”
“This is an herb for the antidote to attack, Sera”
“Attacks? From whom?”
“Impact of gravity falling or known as fall damage. Think of it like Elesis's intermediate magic. With in I hope you can forgive my carelessness .. uhhh.”
Hearing that Sera's mouth turned small, he walked up to Elen and then stroked his head.
“Already. You do not need to think about it, after all everyone has experienced it too. Right ‘kan, Rokh, Andre?”
Both of their male comrades smiled and nodded simultaneously as if they had never considered it to be Elen's fault.
“Yang then let it pass. It wasn't your fault, either, Elen. We also never thought that the only path to the secret Dungeon was destroyed. Successfully thinking about such things alone is great, you should be proud of your accuracy,” said Andre
After hearing the answer from the two of them, Elen who had been moody, and felt guilty took a breath and then he took it out slowly.
No more gloomy expressions were painted on the face of the gothic girl. Everything is clean and now happy and cheerful faces like those who believe in themselves look very clear.
Elen no longer felt depressed due to his carelessness. Even his mood began to recover, becoming a figure of his own.
“Uhhh .. thank you. I didn't expect to hear it directly from someone”
“Already, already. Time is money, we need to get in there immediately, and look for what we have planned,” Andre said.
Rokh and Elen nodded steadily, while Elen clenched both hands, indicating that he was completely ready to go into the secret Dungeon with them.
After that they jump high using a jumper towards the other side of the broken bridge. Without turning around and worrying about anything, the four Players walked side by side with careful preparation.
