As it stood, one person could only take the leadership mark once. In the end, the leadership mark went to the other raider in the dungeon.
We tried to just clear a dungeon after that as well which somehow seemed to have worked and eliminated the leadership mark completely. We could only get rid of five of the 15 dungeons like that though.
In the end, five more leadership marks were left astray in the hands of the people who showed up on the system. We couldn't avoid stopping all dungeons, so now what was left was to subdue them.
Killing them would have been much easier, but unfortunately, the system hoped to see some blood. I had already tested the murder was considered as something to level a person up by the system, maybe that was what it was after.
A giant Gu jar, the strongest poison born after all the candidates killed each other. It was quite annoying that someone out there would use me like this.
"Cat."
"Me...ow..."
The cat growled at me when I called it. I had thrown it at my enemies a bit too much I believe.
"How many of those eyes are still around?"
"Nya? About ten of them. I remember there being a few more at the start."
[The Strongest Dragon God System informs that it is always watching over you.]
Way to go, creep. You are not helping your case at all. What was this, reverse psychology? Was it hoping to make me accept the system by utterly grossing me out?
That wasn't going to happen, sorry.
But that there were just ten left, meant that there was something more interesting happening somewhere out there.
Of course, seeing someone demolish dungeons one after another got boring for anyone, grinding was for losers anyway.
We had a problem, that was the fact that there was no way to know where people other than our teammates were. Central Darma was enormous, finding the rest of the leaders here might just end up taking a long time.
But, fortunately, we had something we could use as trackers.
After making these 'observers' have a keen interest in me, I could use them as guides.
"Oh, there they are!" Cat's words interrupted my thoughts. In the distance, back at the same service station we had split up at, were the hero, the girl, and the slime.
Relafan waved at me, a sword on his shoulders.
This guy... what a weakling. He had to use his main weapon to handle these dungeons.
I caught up with the rest of them. Relafan raised a fist toward me, asking for a bump.
I glared at him and he pulled it back.
Dumbfuck.
"How many did you get! We handled four, and you won't believe this, but Alice can already use Dark Magic." Relafan started blabbering right away.
"Six. And I only had a cat with me. Get good."
Alice looked at me next, her eyes slightly sparkling. What the hell, was she expecting praise?
I reached into my pockets, pulled out some of the weed I had taken from here, and gave it back.
"Good work." n.(OvelB1n
"This is mine! Don't hand it back!"
See, here was someone who could take a joke.
Not like the mister who was titled a hero and called a pussy right here.
"What now?" Asked Alice. "We didn't get all of them."
"What else. We find the people who did."
"And how?" Relafan followed up.
"Unblock Observers."
At that moment, the dozen of small eyes that flew around following both me and Relafan revealed themselves.
I grinned while looking straight at them.
"They will tell us."
"Why would they—"
Before Relafan could finish, I shoved the gun in his mouth and the machete at Alice's neck.
"Because they want entertainment, but that's not all."
If something could look at us, it probably wanted something from us. People stopped reading the newspaper for knowledge at twenty five and started reading it to find stocks.
The same was the case with sports and anything else, before entertainment, for the powerful, it was business.
And these guys must be powerful too.
"They can either lead us and get their entertainment, or lose whatever they stand to gain from you two."
[The Strongest Dragon God System believes you are truly capable of doing this!]
[The Strongest Dragon God System is strongly reconsidering its host!]
[Ding! The Constellations would like to send you a message!]
There. We. Go.
