Chapter 192: The legendary class’ scheme?!
[A week later]
Alex and his two beloveds were in a safe spot, a few meters away from the dungeon.
Before them, an alliance of demi-humans stood like an orderly army. However, even a fool would notice the competitive mood between them.
They all would compete to kill as many monsters as possible, paving the path for their leaders to clean the big boss alone!
Although demi-humans were like that because of their inward tournaments for lands, which stirred their feral instincts, Yumia also had her hands in their current mood.
She had invited friendly races, then offered benefits based on their contribution to the dungeon raids.
In the future, the forest fairies would keep the monopoly of the first level hundred dungeon. Many players would come here to adventure. And since no one could freely enter their capital, the forest fairies would force players to pay entrance fees.
They would turn the dungeon into business, and all close races would get their percentage share for their help as the fairies alone wouldn’t probably be able to keep up with impending monsters.
Then, the races also would get experience and item drops. They would be able to bring their people with reset levels to help them level up on stronger monsters.
Everyone would win something in this dungeon raid.
Alex uttered, “It’s the first time I see so many demi-human people… Frankly, I like their honesty.”
Remia chuckled, “That has pros and cons, right?”
Stella and her beloved nodded.
Of course, the forest fairies’ Aqua Park had many demi-human races. However, Alex had an army before himself. Their numbers were much bigger, and their mood was fierce and unique.
Other than that, Alex had also met Remia’s siblings. Some of them had reset their level, so Alex offered to try out his party system with them too. He didn’t mind helping Remia’s whole family, and seeing her thankful smile was naturally worth it.
Alex also had the forest fairies’ queen in his party, which was a huge deal, “I will try to wound the big boss with wind skills to ensure we all get experience points. Then, we will focus on mob monsters.”
“Yes,” two ladies agreed in tandem.
At last, the system message appeared in everyone’s eyes.
[Earth Devourer Worm Lv.100 has emerged from the Underground Dungeon.]
A terrifying worm had come out from the black hole. He was vast, enough to coil around the queen’s giant tree. He oozed out a disgusting stench, which seemed to her a corrosive effect.
He was brown, seemingly made out of the dirt. But as he opened his jaw, Alex and everyone else could see many teeth ready to gobble down all nature around him!
His quest, however, was to devour forest fairies. Earth Devourer Worm would regain his freedom if he managed to eat at least half of the capital’s population. He would be able to savor more of the Avander World.
His minions were worms around adult human size.
They wriggled around him, slowly charging toward the demi-human alliance.
“Time to help our friends,” Alex clenched his swords, his eyes locked on the minions.
With their abundant numbers, Alex believed they would soon reach his side. Of course, Yumia and others had also predicted such plentiful numbers. They also would have a much easier time fighting in the broader area.
That was why everyone slowly started fanning out, taking monsters head-on in their own parties. Some players also joined the fun.
“We will stick close to forest fairies’ numbers. Stella, you should keep an eye on the demi-human leaders, though. Give them some heal, then prioritize forest fairies and races around them,” Alex whispered before clashing with the worm minions.
[Worm Minion Lv. 80 HP: 25 000/25 000 MP: 5250/5250]
He intercepted just one of them, though.
With Remia’s crowd control skills, Alex had the leverage of fighting just one of them at once. Her forest skills formed wooden walls, root lines, and other crowd control skills that temporarily slowed down other minions.
Alex looked into the worm’s jaw. His swords trembled as he pushed them against the worm’s teeth.
On his back, Stella had her hand lifted, letting out wind to stop the oozing stench. Her other hand was on other forces, tending to their wounds. Those minions were suicidal, bashing their heads and teeth on everyone around them.
Alex utilized all his sword skills. His peculiar sword mana seeped out, blending with the wind skills. He threw an ‘X’ slash at the worm, cutting off a few teeth and flesh. His power pushed off the worm, allowing him to cut the monster far easier.
A few more slashes went down the worm’s slippery body, “He has a lot of health points, but his defenses are low.”
Remia shouted, “Another one will come out soon!”
Alex quickly reacted, bringing forth all his skills. He combined his [Cold Slash] with the wind element, creating something akin to [Cold Wind Blades]. He erased the first enemy with such a combination.
Of course, the sword mana combined these two, adding more sharpness. After the first enemy fell, Alex’s experience bar significantly rose. He didn’t enjoy those numbers for long as the second one slipped from Remia’s technique.
Alex was ready to fight him, though. He smiled before pouncing on the minion worm.

An unknown amount of time passed.
With Stella on his back and Remia supporting him with her practical crowd control skills, Alex utterly lost sense of time. He didn’t have to stop or rest, his thrill for battle producing adrenaline after every fallen monster.
He sometimes stuffed his mouth with potions, but Stella was more than enough against those minions. Remia was in a similar position.
However, Remia’s battle drive was weaker compared to Alex’s. She needed to catch some breath and take the rest on the backline.
Alex noticed her exhausted state. Although her stamina was high due to Stella’s skills, Remia’s mind was too tired. His winged wife didn’t have any ability to help with that, and it would be close to brainwashing, wouldn’t it be not?
Alex decided to take a break together with her.
Looking back, Stella also was quite sweaty. Her position was better since she had herself attached to Alex’s back. However, her technique still took a toll on her body and mind, so Alex had to be careful.
“We have already done a lot. Let’s look at the big boss’ battle,” Alex smiled, taking his two girls behind.
Remia felt a little disappointed in herself, feeling like she had betrayed herself, “I promised to work hard, yet I can’t keep up with you…”
This time, Stella came to her aid, “He wouldn’t be able to keep up his battle drive for too long without your skills.”
“Thanks,” Remia’s smile brightened, looking much better.
Alex agreed with his white-haired wife, “That’s true. And I already have an experience from the first dungeon raid, so you shouldn’t compare yourself to me. On your second raid, you will fare much better, Remia.
You too, Stella. We three might dominate the contribution number,” Alex chuckled, filling his two girls with a new portion of motivation and excitement.
After taking seats, the three stared at the battle with the main boss.
The main boss was different than his minions. His size, defenses, and techniques were much stronger, shaking the whole capital. It was a hassle to keep him in one place without letting him disappear to the ground.
Unfortunately, the leaders and the fairies’ queen had failed a few times already. After Earth Devourer Worm disappeared into the ground, he healed a portion of his HP and prepared a mass area attack!
That was the reason why the main boss was still alive. Otherwise, he probably would’ve already fallen to the one hundred level leaders.
“I wish I could join. It looks fun,” Alex whispered while staring at the battle. He quickly corrected himself, “As a player, it looks fun. I really hope we won’t face any losses.”
Remia grinned, “I know it, Alex. If you had enough level, you would be able to succumb to your talent and battle drive. You would be able to fight to your heart’s content!”
“I wish I could already achieve the immortal army concept,” Alex recalled his talk with Sara.
Although his goals had significantly changed, Alex still hoped he would be able to reproduce the hungry demon’s concept. He would be able to make his resident friends immortal and let them enjoy the world like players.
He wouldn’t be able to worry about their lives…
“I don’t think I will create the guild or become king with a vast army… I’m not sure about the guild, though. A guild of a few skilled players sounds like a good idea… I will never stop aiming for that immortality, though,” Alex explained, a little dazed in his thoughts.
Remia and Stella looked at him silently, their warm touch cheering him.
Alex felt like their mood turned a little too silent. He chuckled and whispered, “Let’s see whether someone has leveled up.”
In his many battles, Alex had gathered the wind around his swords. He sent it toward the boss, scratching him a little.
That should be enough to help Yumia level up if his concept worked. Alex was also close to the forest fairies and their forces.
His swords had helped Remia’s siblings. But more than anything, they were pretty close to Alex, so they shared experience points with him.
Now, it was time to see whether his concept worked on those who hadn’t rest their levels!
And as Alex opened the system, he blinked his eyes, confused.
Remia and Stella peeked at his system, their eyes narrowed, “I see.”
Both of them whispered as if understanding the whole scheme!
