Tank

Calvin and even Madelyne herself can't help but be stunned at the power that her spell displayed.

It was the most powerful skill they had seen in the game as of yet but the fact that it was a skill she created made it even more shocking.

"Gyaahh!"

They came back to themselves when they heard the goblins screaming in pain and without wasting this chance, the two started madly attacking, reaping the lives of the rest of the goblins within minutes.

But they did face some issue when they faced the unharmed goblin archer who was far away from the explosion earlier. Furthermore, it was actually a smarter than the normal goblins as it didn't just stay in one place. It instead ran away from Calvin and shot at him at the same time.

Though with the help of Madelyne's superior range combat prowess, she was able to suppress the goblin archer which made it easier for Calvin to caught up with it. In the end, they killed it way faster as opposed to killing a goblin warrior who was much tougher and has higher health.

Calvin looked at the corpses and sighed in relief as he fell down on the ground. "That was way too close."

Madelyne who was walking towards him and covered in sweat nodded as she sat down beside him. "True."

She rested her head upon his shoulder as they sat like that, feeling the warmth of each other as they rest their tired mind and body while staying in a comfortable silence.

This is the first time that they felt so tired in the game. Madelyne used up her concentration so much when she was learning that powerful spell that she felt a minor headache while for Calvin it was much worse. His whole body was aching from blocking so many hits and it was the same for his head as well since he had to focus on the fight so he won't die and the goblins won't reach Madelyne.

"By the way mom. What was that spell you used earlier. It was so strong!" Calvin said with a smile as he glanced at her with his eyes glowing in admiration.

Madelyne chuckled and said with a smile. "The system said it was Mana Bomb. It's an E rank spell and it deals 150% magic damage around 2 meters. The range is 15 meters and I can also manually detonate it."

"Damn thats strong alright. Can't believe the difference between F and E rank is that great." Calvin said in surprise.

"Yeah I didn't expect that as well." Madelyne agreed.

"I gotta say mom your so good at this game already. Before we can even loot an E rank skill, you already made one." Calvin said while sighing.

Madelyne noticed immediately what Calvin is feeling and she said with a smile. "Ohhh you don't need to feel down Cal."

"...Ehhh? I'm not feeling down though?" Calvin said trying to act normal.

A cheeky smile surface on Madelyne's face as she said. "You can't hide it from me Cal. Even if we didn't get to spend that much time in the past, I still known what kind of person you are. Your comparing yourself to me right?"

Under Madelyne's stare, Calvin said in a low voice. "Yeah..."

"See? I knew it. But you don't need to feel that way because you were amazing yourself and you yourself know why. Listen Cal, don't belittle yourself ok? Your amazing. Believe in me and yourself." Madelyne smiled and hugged him.

Calvin smiled no longer feeling down as he unconsciously hugger her as well and the comfortable silence returned as they sat while hugging as they continue to rest their tired body and mind.

Indeed, what Madelyne said is the truth. If it wasn't for Calvin blocking all the goblins and not letting them go past him, Madelyne would have to face the goblins in a melee fight and will never have the time and focus she needed to learn the spell in the middle of the fight as easily as she did it.

As Madelyne recalled the image of Calvin's figure blocking all the goblins and the feeling of trust and safety at that time, her lips curved up by itself into a big smile as she closed her eyes while feeling Calvin's arms around her.

It was the same for Calvin who felt very safe with Madelyne behind him as she supported him, unlike the other times where he was normally feeling paranoid at having someone behind him.

After resting for quite a long time, the two finally regained their energy with the help of food as well.

They proceeded to loot the goblins and got many equipments. The most notable equipments they got is the leather chest armor from the goblin warrior and the bow from the goblin archer.

Calvin got the armor while Madelyne got the bow giving them a boost in their stats. Aside from that, they also managed to swap out some of their old equipments for new and better ones.

For the materials and the rest of the equipments they didn't use, all of it goes to Madelyne's bag so they can sell it in the village later.

After tidying up their loot they continued deeper to the tunnel that heads towards the room with eager smiles on their faces.

While they were walking, Calvin suddenly said something which startled Madelyne for a bit.

"Hey mom I think I might focus on being a tank for now."
