Chapter 5

I followed shortly behind as my memory of what happened on the first night came rushing back. I was speechless but nevertheless pushed onward to keep it locked away for a good amount of time. I felt like the near-death experience had taught me to value what I have not just in the real world but also what I have gone through and have to go through.

We then arrived at the dungeon that Sato talked about, seeing the doors unopened. "So we're the first ones?" I asked Sato as he nodded, replying "Yep, we are!" as he opened the doors so casually. The dungeon doors swung open at a slow to medium pace as we both walked into the dungeon.

I unsheathed my sword as Sato did the same, we approached into a hallway as a Demonic Servant then manifested from nearby bones, a helmet, and a sword. We stood our ground as we were already level 5 to level 6, carrying around decently strong weapons as well to back up our levels. The demonic servant roared out before swinging his giant sword at Sato. Sato managed to dodge it and get a counter swing at the Demonic Servant, damaging it but not enough.

The Demonic servant seemed more irritated at our attacks than angry, as the Demonic Servant then rushed towards me and rammed into me at full speed, I blocked the hit but I was sent flying and crashed into a wall dropping my sword and dropping down to low green HP. Sato shouted at me "Are you alright Kirin!" as I got back up and picked up my sword shouting "Yeah! Just in a lot of pain!" as I rushed towards the Demonic Servant.

"I have his aggro! Start swinging Sato!!"

I shouted at him as the Demonic Servant then charged up an attack and swung a heavy attack at me. I ducked under the attack and activated a sword skill Vertical Arc as I swung at an angle up. Quickly after that, I then swiftly swung again at an angle but downwards, creating an upside down V shape.

The Demonic Servant's health dropped to lower yellow as Sato caught it's aggro by cutting it's back before it could use it's aggro on me. "Hey over here!" Sato shouted as he also activated a sword skill Sonic Leap. Sato began running towards the Demonic Servant as he jumped and slashed down onto it, dropping its health down to red as I swung a horizontal slash at the Servant's back, dropping its health down to zero.

The servant then roared out once more before shattering into polygons, along with Sato falling onto his face. I was a little exhausted from it as Sato sat up saying to me "That was fun! We should continue looking through" as I was more concerned about his mentality rather than our safety. "I guess...we can keep going..." I said exhaustively as I sat down as well, He smiled at me as I gave him a small smile, exchanging a high five with each other as we continued to explore the dungeon.

Throughout the dungeon, we ran into multiple Demonic Servants, nearly dying on multiple occasions. We then finally reached the treasure that was kept at the end of the dungeon, Sato opened the treasure chest as we both had gotten different items but the same amount of Col and EXP from the dungeon.

"Hey Sato, what did you get?"

I said to him as he turned to me holding a new sword, the handle seemed bland at first but the hilt and the blade itself looked more stylish, the hilt having a gold and silver coloring with the blade itself being a deep gray metallic color with etchings near the tip and the hilt of the blade. "That's a pretty blade..." I said to him as he asked me "What did you get?".

I replied to him "All I got was some crystals... What's your sword called?" as I got up and walked over to him as he held his sword. I tapped on his sword to see its stats, I looked at the name as it was called SteelEdge Sword. Its stats were pretty decent with 20 Dmg, 25 Dex, and 10 Weight.

"I think you got the better end of the dungeon"

I said to him as Sato chuckled with a bit of laughter, I looked at him and showed him a crystal as it was the only thing I got from the dungeon. "What can you do with that?" Sato asked me as I looked at it and took a deeper thought about it. "Maybe I could make it into a weapon or something, but doesn't that require more materials?" I asked as he promptly nodded at me before we both headed out of the dungeon.

"Well we had a pretty good time there"

Sato said to me as I sighed, trying not to ruin the good vibes he had on I replied "Yeah, I won't lie I did have a bit of fun there". We began heading towards a rumored town that was on the other side of Boar Forest. I knew there was a town called Tolbana at the end of the forest, but I didn't know if Sato knew and I didn't want to give him the wrong idea.

We continued heading towards the other side of Boar Forest as we reached an open field, this time filled with Wolves and Blood Wolves nearby. "Well... This could have been worse.." I thought to myself as Sato and I heard a loud scream not too far from our location. We both rushed over to what we thought was the nick of time, but was rather the opposite of what we hoped for. We had actually arrived at the worst possible time, with a group of three players having died right in-front of us.

The Wolves then turned their attention to us as Sato and I had to get ready to fight. The wolves then charged towards us as Sato charged up a Horizontal Slash, I also did the same but a Vertical Slash instead. One of the wolves then jumped at us as I slashed at the Wolf, hitting it and knocking it back. The other two wolves then rushed at us directly as Sato used his horizontal slash to cut both wolves, shattering them into polygons.
