Chapter 16: The Prince, The Princess and The Cat

Jin's POV

Yesterday, Ive left without leaving us a clue to where she's heading. Captain Emray is also on a conference with the National Leveler Alliance.

"Good Morning Ashley" I said and yawn. I just woke up and I'm still really sleepy. It's been days since I slept like this.

"Good Morning" Ashely replied while cooking.

"Jin, we already prepared the table. Join us" Sheila said.

"I gonna shower first" I replied. I went to the bathroom to take a bath. Sheila and Matt are also living with us. The house has been lively since they joined. Kif and Senna are also with us but they're in the mini room. They said it's better there.

When I finished my shower, I dressed up and went to the kitchen.

"Uhm, by the way Jin. What will you do in the meantime? Since, Captain and Ive are gone" Eva asked. That's right. There's no clue when they will be back. Well, since I have the time. I guess...

"I gonna go to dungeons. I mean, raid and loot some monsters" I replied. It's time to grind.

"Can I come? It's boring here and I haven't fought for a while" Ashley said.

"Of course I'll come" Eva added.

"Then, I'll come too" Sheila said.

"Me too" Matt added.

"Fine. Let's eat up so we can start the raid" I said. We ate and then Eva look for an empty dungeon. After a while, she found a dungeon nearby and told us to go there. We rush to that dungeon and entered.

[New Quest]

[Would you like to accept it?]

It's been a while since I have a quest. Sure.

[Quest Level: 5

Quest:

Clear the dungeon (0/1)

Quest Reward:

A Mid-rank rune stone

A rare item

10000 gold]

"What kind of a dungeon is this?" Matt asked.

"It said here that it's just a second level dungeon. Other parties have been here but they are unable to clear the dungeon. They said the level is wrong but they cannot give any proof." Eva explained. They cannot clear the dungeon? Wrong level? So that's why the quest is to clear this dungeon. This dungeon seems unusual.

"You damn bitch! You almost killed me!" We heard a voice of a woman.

"Stay out of my way idiot!" Another woman answered.

"It seems we're not alone" Ashley said.

"Although we don't know them or we cannot see them. Their aura are strong. I can feel it in this distance" Matt said.

"You! Hey, don't intentionally shoot me! You damn bitch! If we can get out of here I will kill you!" The woman before said.

"I said get out of my way! Are you deaf?!" The other woman answered.

"Stop fighting! We have enemies and you dare fight among yourselves? Shameless" A man said.

"Let's go and see what's going on" I said and the five of us went to the direction of their voice. When we got there, we saw an unusual sight.

"Can you stop that?" The woman we heard before turns out to be a cat person. I mean, her appearance is a human cat.

"I said get out of my way! I can't aim properly!" The other woman is like a human but her ears are pointy. The same for the man. The woman is holding a bow while the man is holding a sword.

"What are they?" Matt asked.

"I don't know" I answered and Kif and Senna appeared.

"Lady Kristana!" Kif shouted.

"Sister Ava!" Senna also shouted.

Pronounced as Ayva -text

"An iron scale?" The woman with pointy ears asked. So she's Kristana.

"Sister Senna! Thank goodness! Help me fight those damn harpies!" The cat like woman said. She pointed in the sky where four harpies are flying. OMG, i totally forgot! I can scan them!

[Monster Name: Kristana]

[Monster Level: 40]

[Princess of the Ice Elves. The 3rd child of the King.]

[Monster Name: Ava]

[Monster Level: 40]

[A warrior from the Feline Clan.]

[Monster Name: Kris]

[Monster Level: 50]

[Prince of the Ice Elves. The 2nd child of the King]

Two royals from the Ice Elves and a warrior from the Feline Clan. Now for the harpies.

[Monster Name: General Metalbird]

[Monster Level: 45]

[A general from the Steel Harpies]

[Monster Name: General Poisonfeather]

[Monster Level: 45]

[A general from the Poison Harpies]

[Monster Name: General Midnight]

[Monster Level: 45]

[A general from the Shadow Harpies]

[Monster Name: General Twilight]

[Monster Level: 45]

[A general from the Shadow Harpies]

"Young Master Jin. Those harpies are from the Rebellion. An alliance of clans that rebel from their own kin. Do you remember Helen Hurricane? She's one of the generals of the Wind Harpies. She's with them" Kif explained.

Kif and Senna will be calling Jin, young master from now on -Author

"Explain to me everything" I said.

"We don't have time. We must help them first" Senna said.

"Fine. Ashley take care of those three. Matt, Sheila, can you handle the Shadow Harpies?" I asked.

"What's their abilities?" Matt asked.

"Shadow Harpies are agile and tricky" Senna said.

"Seems easy" Sheila replied.

"Me and Senna will handle the Steel one. I think it'll be hard for my sword alone" I said.

"I'll be glad to" Senna answered.

"Kif, you take the last one" I said.

We rushed to the harpies and now the problem...

"How can we attack him? He's flying" I said.

"If only we could fly. Snakes are meant on the ground anyways" Senna said. Fly? Wait a minute... Inventory.

[Items:

Leo

Andromeda

Aqua Blade

Helen's Wings

Helen's Heart

Helen's Feathers

Earrings of Merlin]

There. Helen's wings. Now, visible mode.

"Young master. You have wings!" Senna said.

"That's an item. Now, it's time to die birdy" I said and flew to where the Steel Harpy is.

"Why are you helping them? Help us and my master will reward you" He said.

"I'm not interested" I said and took out Leo. I dash at him and used Lions Breath to ignite my sword in flames. He blocked it with his steel wings and took a step back.

"Fighting me with a sword? Foolishness" He said and dashed at me, wings in the front. He tried to impale me but I blocked it with Leo. I took out Andromeda at the same time and used Heaven Splitter. He managed to avoid half of it but the half of the attack managed to wound his waist.

"Foolishness? Read a dictionary bullshit" I said and lunged again. I used Dragons Roar but he blocked it with his wings.

"Didn't you hear me? Swords won't work" He said.

"Young master! Magic! Use magic!" Senna shouted.

"Seems like I found out your weakness" I said and he tried to escape.

"Damn humans, I'll come back for you!" He shouted.

"You wish" I replied and used Magic Beam. I hit his head and bam, he's dead.

[You have slain General Metalbird]

[Gained 600 points]

[You have leveled up]

[You have 5 points]

Intelligence.

[Intelligence: 55]

Now, let's see how the others are doing. I landed and unequipped the wings. I approached Kif.

"Kif, update me about the harpies" I said.

"I managed to capture the Poison Harpies but Matt and Sheila are still troubled with the Shadow Harpies" Kif replied.

"Wait, what? You captured the harpy?" I asked.

"Yes" Kif said and smiled while holding a bottle with a green cloud inside.

"What's that?" Senna asked.

"It's the poison harpy. He will release poison here and that poison will concentrate overtime resulting into a poison pill. Perfect for alchemy" Kif explained.

"I won't ask how, you have your ways... But, how strong are you?" I asked.

"If alchemy related, I'm unbeatable" He said and goes back to the mini room.

"Is he serious?" Senna asked and also goes back to the mini room. I rushed towards Matt and Sheila who are just throwing knives at the sky, hoping to hit the harpies.

"Matt, Sheila" I said and walked up to them.

"Jin, how can we attack them?" Sheila asked.

"Well, I can do this" I said and used Magic Beam. It didn't hit them but it can reach them.

"Well, we don't have that spell" Sheila said.

"Aren't you a swordsman?" Matt asked.

"Just focus the enemy" I said.

[Jin?]

Ive. Good timing.

[Where are you? I have news]

Uhm, we're in a dungeon.

[What?!]

We kinda got bored and decided to grind a little.

[Well hurry up]

There's a little bit of problem.

[Seriously?]

We can't damage the harpies. We can't reach them.

[Use this and hurry up]

[Emergency Grant Accepted]

[Gained Storm Ring]

[Item: Storm Ring]

[Gives you the ability to channel lightning and release it]

Nice. Let's try it out. I reached through the sky and felt the energy raging up. I channel it into a direction and release it, hitting the shadow harpies.

[You have slain General Midnight]

[You have slain General Twilight]

[Gained 600 points]

[Gained 600 points]

This ring costs a lot of mana. My mana is depleted.

"Are you really a swordsman?" Matt asked.

"Yes and no" I said and sign them to go to the the "people" we met earlier.

When we approached them. Kif and Senna got out.

"Sister Ava, what happened?" Senna asked.

"Well, I was given a mission to bring a message to the Ice Elves" Ava replies.

"And we accepted her" Kristana butted.

"And they accepted me. Then, a bunch of idiot harpies kidnapped us and now we don't know where we are" Ava explained.

"Kif, where are we?" Kris asked.

"In a dungeon" Kif replied.

"Dungeon?" Kristana asked.

"Yeah. They dragged us here to be fodders to these human's growth" Kif said.

"Then these humans.." Kris said and point his sword towards Matt.

"No, no, no... They don't know that" Kif said.

"And besides, the only ones who are dragged here are the ones who needs to be punished" Senna added.

"Ok I'm confused but... Ive's waiting. She has news for us" I said.

"Sister Ava, where would you go?" Senna asked.

"I don't know... We don't know" Ava replied.

"Well, you can come with us but... You also need to form a contract with young master" Kif said.

"To be an underling with this human?" Kris said.

"Don't forget he defeated the harpies that even you can't defeat" Senna replied.

"Temporarily. We will agree to your minions temporarily" Kristana said and we formed a contract.

[Formed a contract]

[Contracts 30/30]

My contracts are full.

After that, my five elite contracts went to the mini room and we goes back to Spectre HQ.
