Chapter 96 Power Of A God?
Chapter 96 Power Of A God?
Vance contemplated for a while before shaking his head and stepping back away from the stairwell. "We will end this trip here."
"Huh?" The girls were confused. They thought they would make it all the way to the bottom of the dungeon.
"This boss has what is called a party wipe skill….. If they use it and we end up being wiped out our angel's tears will be used up and we will live but if it uses it two times in a row we are dead...." This was what Vance was afraid of the most. He had encountered this boss a few times and one time he was double hit with party wipe skills. He did not wish for this to happen again. He only had one second life until he could purchase another angel's tear. While yes they were cheap, this did not mean he would be able to buy one quickly enough for all of them.
And just because your angel's tear goes off, it doesn't mean you can leave the boss room at all. The girls' faces paled upon hearing Vance's answer. They really did not wish to die. "So what do we do now?"
"We will go to the local town and settle down until the event. I will begin getting my crafting up. With all the materials we have now, I can make some decent gear to offset our current missing gear. We also need to begin learning higher levels of magic. We are barely getting by with low level magic as it is." Vance explained.
The girls both nodded and agreed to Vance's decision. But now they had to backtrack through the dungeon. This process took a few days but luckily, once dungeons bosses are dead they stay dead. So they quickly made their way back, picking up even more materials along the way.
The group stood outside the dungeon to see quite a few people there. Vance frowned when he saw all the hardcore gamers reaching levels 18 to 20 so quickly. It was at this time when Vance heard his name being called: "Vance!"
"Hmmm?" Vance turned to see Cynthia standing there. He was quite surprised since she was still in the capital when he left a while ago. It should have taken her more time to reach this place. "Cynthia?" Vance scratched his head. He did not know what she wanted.
"Mmmm! I was hoping I could see you here." Cynthia blushed, causing the two girls next to Vance to hug his arms and stare at her with suspicious gazes.
Vance noticed nothing as he asked: "Actually good timing, I was hoping to talk to you. Let me add you to my friends list."
"Huh? Oh! Okay!" Cynthia nodded and quickly accepted Vance's friends invite with a big smile on her face. She then looked at the two girls holding his arms and felt a little jealous. "I umm…. Can we team?"
Vance thought for a moment and was unsure if he could even team with a player. After giving it some thought, he nodded his head since he saw no harm in it. He also wanted to try to team a player as well. But when he thought about how they were going to town to rest until the event he scratched his head as he said: "We are going to town for a few weeks to boost our crafting. We can team, but if you want to level up, I am not sure when we will start farming again."
At this time, he was being pinched in the waist by both girls, which he was trying hard not to yelp out in pain.
"I don't mind! I have been grinding for days on end anyway, so a break is good." At this moment, Cynthia did not even care about the other girls as long as she could spend time with Vance, her leaving her job would all be worth it!"Okay then…" Vance targeted Cynthia and sent her a team invite, but as he hit the button, a message popped up…
[Inviting a player will bind them to this world, are you sure?]
Vance unconsciously hit the yes button until he realized what it said, and his face paled. He looked up at Cynthia, who was all smiles one second and then holding her head the next. "Are you okay!?"
"I…. I don't know…. I just got a major headache…. Like, who gets a headache in a game? Is that even possible?" Cynthia asked with a chuckle, but her furrowed brow showed she was still in pain.
"We should head to the inn…. Alice, Sally help her…. I think I might have made a mistake…." He whispered the last part to the girls, who looked at him in confusion. Vance was too quick to hit the button. If he had stopped to reach the message instead of skimming over it and hitting yes, he would not have hit yes. He was not sure what had just happened, but for now, they could not talk about this out in the open. It was not safe.
The girls each supported Cynthia, and they all went to an inn where they rented a single room for the moment. There was no need for a double room until he figured things out. If what he thinks happened actually happened, then he might have just done something unreversible.
"Vance, can you tell us what is going on?" Alice asked as soon as the door was closed.
"I am not sure. I need to ask her first. But if I am correct, I might have just ruined someone's life." Vance really did not know what to think if this was true. But if it was, then he might have a power similar to a god's, and if that was the case, he would really need to be careful about how he uses it. Vance took a deep breath before asking. "Cynthia, do you have a log out button?"
