Chapter 87 A New Plan [ 3 ]
Chapter 87 A New Plan [ 3 ]
"I think it means that joining my party gives you access to the level system. If the heroes don't know about this then we might just have a major advantage."
Ruby says "What do you mean?"
"If people who join our party can level up like a hero then they can become as strong as a hero and offset the number advantage the heroes have."
Ruby says "Oh, I see. So why does the party screen say three of five?"
"Huh? Party Screen!"
— Party 3/5
— Klein Rank: 0 HP: 1322/1322 DP: 170/170
— Ruby Level: 3 HP: 515/515 MP: 780/780
— Drog Rank: 0 HP: 850/850 DP 100/100
— Mericel Rank: 1 HP: 635/635 MP: 250/250
— Leyla Level: 2 HP: 150/150 MP: 675/675
— Alannis Level: 3 HP: 550/550 MP: 10/10
"I guess it is only counting Leyla and Alannis as party members. You, Drog, and Mericel don't seem to count."
Ruby says "Why not? We were here first!"
"Yes, but you three are bound to me and didn't ask to join. So you count as part of me I am guessing."
Ruby says "Oh, I guess I can live with that."
"So, I guess we can only recruit two more people."
Alannis says "Wait, do you seriously think I could become as strong as a hero?"
"It didn't look all that dangerous to me."
Alannis says "They are faster than they look, and they can cut a horse in half with one swipe of their claws."
"Are they good to eat?"
Alannis just looks at me like I asked her if the sky was purple. I can't help but chuckle at the look on her face.
"What? You've killed them before right?"
Alannis says "No, never. Patrols are set at groups of fifty because then the group is too big and they won't attack."
"I thought you said they didn't back down from anything?"
Alannis says "They don't, big groups just aren't worth the bother to them unless they are starving."
I am about to reply to Alannis when I hear movement again, looking over I see the fang bear has returned, and it brought a friend. The two of them start growling at me and moving closer. I was trying to avoid a fight, but we do need the meat.
Alannis says "By the twins! I've never seen two of them! We should run!"
"Too late, the girls would never out run them. Go to Leyla and keep the girls together. I will take care of this. Ruby!"
I walk towards the bears, drawing Blitz as Ruby takes human form beside me. I try sending a mental call to Drog and Mericel but I have no idea if it works. Unless they show up it will be two on two.
"Alannis said they are fast and strong, I'll take the one on the right. If you can't handle the other, just keep it busy until I can help."
Ruby says "Yes, master!"
I shoot her a smile before I charge at the bear on the right. As I move it rears up with its front only, so four legs on the ground two ready to attack. Now that I can see its claws I think it must be part badger, they are huge.
