Chapter 24: Spartan
Rebecca found a lot of metal bars that once were used in gyms, they were a bit heavy, but they also would grant a shit ton of durability and defense once they level up.
They were good enough to offer three points of attack and defense each, and since Terry used two of them while his hard gloves were equipped, he didn't have a hard time leveling them up. When night came, Terry had made thirty of them reach level five, but he had to stop and get the magic stones.
When Terry left, he found Rebecca giving some orders for a man and a woman. She was ready to leave since the sun had set, and she couldn't leave her siblings alone. If the job was just to keep watching the entrance of the dungeon, anyone could do it, as long as they didn't belong to other guilds.
"Perfect timing," Rebecca said. "I am returning. What about you?"
"I will stay here. Did you buy more metal poles?" Terry asked.
Rebecca pointed to a box nearby. In the end, she took those Terry had already leveled up back home, and Terry took the others back to the dungeon. It was a bit dangerous to fight at night in the middle of a dense forest, but Terry could easily repel the giants' attacks now and then smash their heads with a single strike.
In any case, Terry waited for a while until some officers of the government showed up to buy the magic stones he got in the last few days. They just counted them, and Terry earned more than 105k... he was already thinking about what he wanted to buy. Still, he had to keep some to buy the magic stones of the other hunters... he just had to be patient because more money would roll in now...
When morning came, Terry took a quick nap outside the dungeon, and when he woke up, he found Rebecca and twenty people ready to follow them. This time, Rebecca was going as well, and the guards of the night had been changed by the guards of the day, and they were going to accept the enlistment of people over fifteen as well. Terry also saw a large group of hunters from the other guilds ready to enter the dungeon...
The wound of the knee quickly turned blue and then purple, making everyone understand that a single hit had been enough to break the bones. After that, Terry picked his bow, and then the others charged at the giants. Some of them focused on blocking, and some on dodging. The results varied quite a bit, but at least they stopped the enemies' advance.
Since some of them didn't have experience fighting in a jungle, they tripped after stepping back. At that moment, Terry and Rebecca put some ice arrows on the target's skull that approached them. The same thing happened a few times until the new group realized that Terry and Rebecca truly were watching their back.
After that, the group displayed more courage to fight the enemies. No one wanted to look pathetic while missing a good opportunity in life after all.
Eventually, they began to fight better, they also began to defend against the attacks instead of just running away, and that gave more chances for the others to attack the enemies. Things were progressing really well...
Soon, the battle was over, and Terry gave the knives to the recruits to take the magic stones. That job was bloody, but they had to get used to it. The second group did a bit l better when it came to fighting since they knew how strong the metal poles were...
"It seems that things are going well," Rebecca approached Terry and said.
"This is just the start, so don't get too comfortable with the current situation," Terry said.
Terry was planning to do some hunting by himself and destroy a lot of the enemy's camps in the afternoon. After all, the red giants granted him a shit ton of experience. Still, he worked diligently helping the recruits, and from that group, no one looked suspicious, so they entered the guild.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
