Chapter Five

A knight, A Magician plus a Priestess

The following day, the group continued on their journey. And all of them suffered from a severe headache. Probably, a hangover for their drinking session last night.

"Arrghhh! My head hurts like hell! " Kyuri huffed as she was holding her head. Four of them feel the same way. "I will never ever drink again in the middle of the journey. "

Razen who is still sleepy yawns and stretches his body. Last night was the best. It was his first time getting drunk like there is no tomorrow. Well, he can't do this in the real world.

I want to drink more. Razen said while stretching. He is always wanted to try something new and about everything. So, every time he discovered something, he wanted to try it again and again until he satisfied.

Ashtry who still sleeping soundly at the roof. The two girls didn't even finish two glasses of wine and they already dozed off.

While Grunter is still vomiting somewhere cursing Razen over and over. That bastard has the guts to get drunk. He can't even finish three glasses of wine. Since he was already drunk, he keeps bothering Mr. Brunner to give him a shot. Because he can't take it anymore, he was the one who takes his shot and suffered. It's the worst feeling of his life. He is now planning to assassinate Razen later.

And Lily is in the bad mood. No one's ever tried to talk to her since this morning. The dark aura is envelopes her, keeping them away from her.

Mr. Brunner who was only laughed at them and offered more of his wine if they arrived in the next town which they were immediately refused. There is no next drinking session for them anymore.

They continued their journey through the endless forest until they reached the deepest part.

Many beasts are at a high level that surrounds the area but the same as before they never bothered to attack them. They were also met some players were on their way to returned back outside the forest and some are trying to level up.

The players were in awe at how huge Mr. Brunner's carriage was, pulled by two mammoths. "That must be a high level of merchants." One player uttered with his mouth open.

"Look! That's the infamous, Lily, right? She is an S ranker and one of the top hunters on the country?" Someone whispered. The other one nodded, stares at her with envy.

Lily ignored their presence and continued to walk on the rocky road. Her head is still aching.

She glances at Razen who seems happy. She didn't know why. He is swaying his body, and his head keeps kn turning from left to right.

" By the way, Guild leader. I noticed this from the beginning. Why are your levels are still the same when you asked for my help two weeks ago. You said that----"

Grunter and Razen look away, avoiding her gaze when they heard her talks about their level. They thought that Lily will never notice that their level never increased.

"--- you would be stronger before we start the journey. But as far as I can see, that you and Grunter's level are still the same. Nothing has changed. Why is that?"

Grunter feels guilty, he cleared his throat trying to ease the adversity inside him.

Razen smiles awkwardly. Not knowing how to answer that question. "Uhm. Hehe. You know... Lily-same. Life is full of surprises that we didn't expect what will go to happen.

Lily sneers at them. These kids. "Are you already satisfied with your level? Look at the girls. They level up a bit. " Lily sighed and pointed at the two girls at the top. Her head hurts more with this kiddos. "The other goals for this journey are to level up and become stronger. Because even you have me. In your current condition, we can't defeat the Azure dragon."

"Yeah, Lily-sama is right." Grunter agreed. He knows that if they are really serious to slay the dragon and clear this quest, they need to level up and become strong enough to slay the dragon.

'' We need to clear a dungeon to level up easily. " Ashtray suggested. She opened her map. "There is one dungeon on this forest and it's a high level. If we can clear this dungeon, we can take shorts to cut right in front of the next town. "

"Hmm. What can you say, Guild leader? " Kyuri looks down, waiting for their leader's answer. "Wanna take the quest?! " Kyuri lips rose up a bit. She is seeking for action these days.

"Hahahaha. What a lively hunters! I don't mind if you enter the dungeon." Mr. Brunner who heard their conversation just laughed.

"Woah. Are you sure, Mr. Brunner? " Lily can't believe Mr. Brunner let them enter a dungeon. That means he was very confident with our ability. "Thank you so much! " It's the first time for them to meet someone like Mr. Brunner. Other merchants will not be approved of this idea. Lily amused face made the NPC guard bewitched by it. She didn't see it so she has no idea what her facial expression did to her surroundings.

"Guild leader. Let's do it! " Ashtray with her iconic line. , *let's imagine chitanda when she said I'm curious face here.

"Ah... Eh... Well, there is nothing I can do anyway. Let's do it." But deep inside, he was the most excited among them.

" Yess! " Kyuri who seems very happy unconsciously raises her hands. When she noticed that they staring at her. She returned to her usual poker face and got back to her seat.

Not so far away from where they are, they saw a group were surrounded by monsters. They were also noticed, there were many low-level beasts run around and attack whoever was there.

"What's the hell is going on! " Lily mumbled after she saw a high-level giant orc marching towards those players. The headaches she was feeling earlier suddenly disappeared. All she could feel was excitement. Her hands are aching for a fight right now.

"Razen! Let's help them." She called Razen who feels the same way.

Razen nodded at her. He was ready to fight.

"Grunter, Kyuri, and Ashtray, stay here and protect Mr. Brunner at all costs. " Razen commanded. "Lily and I will go there and help them. "

"Got it. " They said at the same time.

"Let's go! " Razen and Lily ran fast toward the herd of beasts. As they coming closer, they saw more monsters and beasts keep coming and attack them. Maybe there is something pulling the monsters and beasts to attack. He needs to find out.

When they arrived, they saw two players trying to fight the herds of monsters.

"Yoshiyo stays on the back and focuses on healing us. " A man with a big sword shouted. He swung his big sword towards the beast, eliminating the one in the nearest area.

"Fire bullet! " Another man throws a small fireball at the impending monsters.

Razen didn't waste a second and helped them. He jumped and shouted "Dawnbreaker", delivering an AOE attack, which causes an enemy to fly away. Then, runs again and attacked the monster who is trying to bite him.

On the other hand, Lily raised her right hand as she whispered an enchanting spell. "My power comes is in the darkness... I am your God... I call thee ... Death Warrior...

Sierra! "

Then, the sky darkened. From the thick dark clouds, a weapon is gradually descended from the sky and like a lightning. It's going to Lily's hand.

"A death scythe? " One of them mumbled. Then, throw a fireball to the orcs coming on his way.

Lily, who is aura suddenly changed and her statistics are rising rapidly.

The invisible wind was spinning around her as the leaves flying around her while she is slowly walking towards where is the giant orcs.

Lily raised her scythe, and shouted "Death Slash! " A skill that slashed her enemy into two. The giant orcs stop from its tracts and in a few seconds, it's sliced into two.

The other giant orcs and monster nearby stopped because of what had happened. They sensed danger.

One of the orcs was furious when it's sawing one of them was dead. It's aggressively attacked her. She quickly avoided it and slashed it. The orcs' head fell down on the ground.

The other orcs were in a rage and all of them charges towards her but a big man with a big sword is quickly approached her and shielded her. The man received the powerful attacked of the orcs and steps back a little.

"James. Now!!" The man shouted.

The other man who used fire magic was trying to make a big fire on his hands.

"Fire Cannon!! "

A big fireball comes from his wand flew towards the herds of orcs and monsters. Then, a big explosion ensued. Razen runs quickly and grabs the girl named Yoshiyo and activated his skill: Deflect!

The big man protected Lily from that big explosion. But she hates it. She hates what he did. She knows he was powerful because he had been able to stop the orcs attack earlier. She could protect herself so she couldn't accept that he protects her.

"Miss, are you okay? " The man asked who looking like a knight.

She didn't answer him. She looked at the direction where the orcs were standing before the explosion but only the big hole was left in the ground. The enemies turned into ashes.

She was wrong that need their help. They are strong!

To be continued!
