We safely retreated to a cave, a safe zone.

Even though their heads had turned into those of old women, the harpies' intelligence remained as birds, squawking noisily before dispersing after some time.

It was like avoiding a rolling boulder and entering a crevice in the cliff, dodging the flock of harpies to hide and advance through the cave.

"There were a few caves along the way, so we can move from one to the next like stepping stones."

"The black harpies seem quite dumb, so we can keep moving forward like this."nove(l)bi(n.)com

Not old woman harpies or beauty harpies, but black and red harpies?

Well, calling them old woman harpies and beauty harpies is a bit too blunt.

While entertaining odd thoughts and listening to the group's conversation, the course of action was very simply decided.

Since there were caves on the way to that suspicious peak, the plan was to use them to continue forward.

After all, BB Games had practically laid out a path inviting us with a "come this way~", so we had to take advantage of it.

"The closer we get, the more of them will swarm us."

"There's no need to overdo it. Even if we can't confirm the existence of a nest, we've found a suspicious place, so we can call over the brothers."

Katie and Grace nodded at Irene's words.

If that happens, even if the money or benefits we can earn right away decrease, the strategy could be carried out more comfortably.

It's like a kind of EASY mode for those who failed.

Even if the harpies rampage violently, the temple knights could advance, tearing through the path with divine energy, and they couldn't be stopped.

If the enemy annoys us with wings and numbers, we just need to fill our side with numbers too.

-Surely you're not thinking of crying out for help from the temple like a damsel in distress?

-If we're asking for help from the temple, I don't see why a natural-born 6 is needed in the party, lol...

-There's no time to hesitate

-After abandoning the fight like sh*t, don't tell me you're going to abandon the strategy too~

-Lol, abandoned damage dealing and now the story too? Almost like it's natural*[1]

[Chat deleted by the mod]

"You can't save that joke with 'almost'. Please throw away the cringy dad joke book on your desk while you're banned."

The group naturally took a break, using large rocks as seats.

Meanwhile, Han Se-ah sharply executes a viewer who made a dad joke on the chopping block.

Even as she handed over a campfire kit from the inventory to Irene, her eyes were sharply scanning the chat.

The viewer caught this time wasn't a newcomer but seemed familiar with internet streaming.

[Smile and Fortune Comes donated 10,000 won!]

Ah, seriously~~ I'm weak to the donation trends~~ haha

Han Se-ah's eyebrows twitched peculiarly at the sight of someone not hesitating to donate money for a joke.

She wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness, but laughing would feel like losing.

While she battled against the aftermath of boomer humor and dad jokes, the savory smell filled the cave.

The skewers she and Grace had bought last time were gently heated over the campfire, emitting a greasy fragrance hard to find in the tower.

The chicken and pork dripped with fat as they sizzled over the flickering flames.

"Indeed, mages, upon reaching the senior level, don't just become physically stronger but their magic's range and destructive power increase to unbelievable levels. So, do you have a particular element in mind?"

"Hanna usually uses uncommon magic the most, like inventory or mana spikes, right?"

While Grace to Irene each added their comments, the viewers were not silent either.

There were those bantering about legality, water laws and whatnot.

Flame attributes were illegal because of 'fire laws', and water magic was like having your sister pour water for you

"Stop, stop! Just a moment? I haven't decided yet, but I'd like to learn wide-area skills in either flame, thunder, or ice. It seems more challenging for our party to deal with many small enemies like now, rather than a single strong one."

"Definitely, that's a good idea."

After being bombarded with advice both verbally and in text, in-game and through the stream, Han Se-ah rapidly shared her thoughts like she was rapping.

It seemed she had thought through her skill tree properly as a gamer, as her ideas came out without hesitation.

Indeed, thanks to our shameless tank with a single-target extreme damage skill, our party wasn't lacking in single-target abilities.

How a tank ended up with an assassin's S-tier skill is beyond me.

Therefore, what our party, which is well-rounded from tanking to single-target damage, crowd control, purification, and protection, absolutely lacked was AoE capability.

Even now, we're resting in a cave because we had no way to sweep away the harpies that were swarming us.

"In that case, I recommend lightning magic. Depending on mana control, it can be used for AoE or single-target."

"Really? Lightning magic"

That's why I recommend lightning magic.

From what I've heard from a mage I know, although it's powerful, it's difficult to control, but I believe Han Se-ah could be trusted with it.

Even though she might act silly, abandon dealing damage, end up as a pack mule, or accept quests without thought, making mistakes at least she never messed up with mana control.

Magic missiles have never hit my back, nor has she ever fried Katie while trying to assist with Spark or Light.

Given Han Se-ah's skill level, lightning magic, which is closer to high-risk, high-reward compared to fire magic, seems suitable.

If I hold 80% of the shares to be the world's number one, at least she holds about 10% of it.

She was a bus passenger, not a freeloader.

She was paying a bit more than the fare.

"I'll learn magic from Antenor by giving him the ores of harpies and stone dwarves. He must be preparing to head back up after coming down from the 45th floor for food."

"That old man?!"

-Was Antenor that orc-squishing old man from the 20th floor?

-Hanna, make sure you turn off the stream when you go learn magic, got it?

-But can lightning magic really switch between single-target and AoE with just control?

-He's an elder who has climbed the tower more than Roland, and in the cutscenes, he was cool despite his old age, talking like he's straight out of LA.

-If you summon lightning to fry just one guy, that's a single-target skill, lol. Isn't that the same with fire magic?

However, as the difficulty of the tower increased, the fare she had to bear inevitably grew.

A one-on-one tutoring session with a chatterbox old man who could torture people with words, that's going to be really fun.

I'm glad I'm a tank.

[1] - literal sense it's closer to 'organic' but meaning wise, the viewer meant natural. It's a pun saying it's in her nature to abandon dmg etc. and could also mean she's garbage
