Luna told Aren about all of her information. Hearing about the unique dagger and the skill, Aren asked in surprise, " Did you also open Pandora's box? "

Luna nodded with a wry smile, " Yep. The government already mentioned about it but warned everyone not to open it because many people got horrible things that they couldn't afford to use, while some directly received limited-time curses. Naturally, some people also do good things too, but not many people want to gamble. "

Pausing there, Luna chuckled as she pointed at herself, " As for me...hehe, I couldn't be careless about it, so I opened pandora's box. But fortunately, I got good things. However, That <Scare> ability is annoying. There's nothing written on it, and I don't know how it works. "

" Hmmm..." Aren nodded before he fell into thought for a moment before asking, " Try using that ability on me. "

" Ok..." Luna nodded before she used the ability with her will.

Aren was looking at her with focus and waited for the ability to take effect.

But after waiting for two seconds, nothing happened.

" See? Nothing happened. Sigh...I simply don't know how it works or the condition it needs to take effect. " Luna spoke while shaking her head.

Aren nodded as he also felt nothing, " That's ok. We will find about it later. But from now on, don't forget to use it. Try to use it in every and all kind of situation. "

" Alright. So what do we do about those beasts guarding those fields of red barries? " Luna asked.

" For that, Let's see..."

...

After talking for a while, They went near the end of the passage once again to see the cave and the beasts inside.

" You said they will come out through the passage, right? Can you clarify it? " Aren whispered.

Luna nodded as she whispered back, " They will follow us inside this passage but won't come out from the passage at the other side. Once we go past that point, they will return here. "

" Hmm...Okay. Let's first try to use brute force with a simple plan. We can follow through with this plan only because we have spirit water with us, and we both have potent skills. "

After saying that, Aren continued, " Did you try to use your Double Rend on those beasts? If so, how did it fare against them? "

" Their defense is their main forte, I think. Their faint crystalized skin is tough to break. My <Double Rend> broke through it and injured it seriously, but it's not enough to kill them. It's a single-target skill since it only works if I swing and activate the release effect on both of my daggers using spirit energy at the same time. Also..."

Pausing there, Luna curled her lips in disdain before speaking, " Those other three were completely useless. They don't even have powerful skills, and their levels are two below mine, so their pitiful C rank skills have even more pitiful damage against those beasts. "

After saying that, she continued with the main topic, " So the thing is, If we can't kill one of them in one shot, they will recover even from severe injuries by eating those barries. I tried to aim their heads, but since I use my <Double Rend> from far, they can easily block it with their hands. "

" And you can't get close because it would put your life in danger...Hmmm, That's indeed tricky. " Said Aren before he paused and grinned, " But...hehehe, Let's follow through with the brute force plan first. If we combine our skills, we can take one of them out. "

" Ok, Let's do it. " Luna nodded.

...

After talking about how to move and the plan, Aren went to the cave entrance, picked up a rock, and threw it at one of the nearest beasts.

The beast roared like an ape before it, and the other five beasts rushed towards Aren with red eyes.

Seeing that, Aren started running back. He looked back and saw that their speed was not exceptionally fast. He gauged their speed and distance between them before predicting the timing of his plan's execution.

On the other hand, Luna was waiting at a particular location inside the passage.

This passage was not straight as it also curved, and Aren decided to take advantage of the curved part of the passage.

With the curved passage, The beasts who are running are Aren can't see Luna, who is standing past the curved part of the passage.

As Aren rushed towards Luna's side while letting the beasts chase him, Luna also waited for Aren to appear.

Aren saw that he reached the curved part of the passage and started preparing his skill < Wind Slash > with his hand.

After two seconds, He saw Luna at the passage and showed her two fingers.

2 second.

After 1 second, His finger turned into one finger.

1 second.

After another second, He balled his hand into a fist and rolled forward, and appeared just 50 centimeters from Luna.

On the other hand, The moment Luna saw Aren reaching a countdown of 0 with the signal of his hand, She released < Double Rend > with her Blight Tooth Daggers.

Right at the moment, The first beast following behind Aren saw < Double Red > right in front of it and panicked but failed to dodge in such a short time frame as blood gushed out.

But right after <Double Red>, Aren also released his <Wind Slash> at the same spot.

*Screeeeeeeeee...*

The beast screamed loudly for a second before dying.

The other beasts got angry, but Aren and Luna had already started running after releasing their skills.

[ A Crysario Fang Beast killed, 130 exp ]-Luna

[ A Crysatio Fang Beast killed, 70 exp ]- Aren.

Both of them received the sound notification in their heads and text in front of them as they left the passage.

Aren and Luna looked at each other and laughed before they turned around and looked at the passage.

The other beasts were following them, but they stopped at the passage entrance and didn't come out. After roaring with red eyes for a few seconds, They went back.

" Aren!! Your plan was successful. Hahaha, Now we can kill those beasts one by one like this. " Luna was overjoyed.

" Yep.. " Aren also grinned as he couldn't wait to get his hands on those very useful red barries.
