Chapter 1299: Back To The Arboren Village
Ding!
[You have slain the [Miasmic Creature: Slime Beast Type (Tier 7)] x79!]
[You have slain the [Fused Miasmic Creature: Giant Type (Tier 8)] x1!]
[You earned 8.400.000 EXP!]
[Several of [Scarlet] Skills have Leveled Up!]
"Huh? Wait a second, I got EXP from killing monsters inside my Dungeon?"
That never happens, they never gave me EXP at all! But Miasmic Creatures... Do they count as some sort of invasive alien species that don't belong to the dungeon? Using that logic, I guess it makes sense they give me EXP.
I got a lot of EXP accumulated too, I should spend it on some things to improve the city's defenses, definitely. But for now, I have to go see what's up with them-Oh?
Ding!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[Congratulations! You have completed the {Emergency Quest}: [Defend the Arboren Village from the Miasmic Creatures!]
[Yet another quest you didn't read because you were so distracted! But it cannot be helped...]
[Your Dungeon has been inexplicably invaded by strange, miasma creatures, and it's your duty to defend it and its people!]
[You might have slain the first wave, but there will be endless waves if you don't solve the problem from the root.]
[For now, go look how the Arboren are doing, hurry! As their goddess, you must take good care of them.]
[Quest Completion Rewards]: [1.000.000 EXP] [Muscle Strengthening Herb (B+ Grade)] x10 [Random Rune Potion (B+ Grade)] x10 [Random Skill Proficiency Potion (B+ Grade)] x10 [Skill Scroll Fragment: Miasmic Beasts Soul 1/3 (S Grade)] x1]
Ah! There was a Quest?! No way! I never saw that!
The rewards are more generous than I imagined. I thought we were done with giving me these easy-to-use potions and stuff?
Well, they barely work on me anymore though, even all those might not even help me advance fifty percent of a Rank.
But the interesting part is that Skill Scroll Fragment, only a piece of a skill scroll!
Yeah, the Quest System is teasing me...
"Okay, let's clean here first!"
With the help of my Familiars, we made sure to purify the entire area where the Miasmic Creatures were attacking, and once we made our way back, they opened the walls for us.
"Please bring those healing herbs to the people over there!"
"Yes, that medicine goes to that person..."
"Wait, that's the wrong mushroom, that's a poisonous one! Be careful, the good one is green
colored."
As she was commanding people, she quickly noticed me.
"A-Ah! Goddess Sylphy?!"
"Hey Selene... I'm back."
"By the heavens above, you're back, my goddess!"
She started crying as she hugged me tightly, crying over my shoulders.
"We've been struggling all this time... Ivy and Bark... If it wasn't for your blessing they would
be dead- they fought so many of them, yet they keep coming endlessly! I-Is this a trial for
us?"
"I... not exactly, but it's my fault..." I sighed. "I came here to solve it once and for all. But first, let's heal everyone, okay? Lead me to Ivy and Bark first."
"Your fault...?" she wondered. "Ah, yes! Please come with me!"
Ugh, I only felt even more terrible the more I knew this was caused by my own negligence.
I need to take more attention; things could have been EVEN worse if I had come here much
later...
"They are still sleeping..."
We entered one of the many underground rooms.
There they were, Ivy and Bark, my two summoned heroes.
Their plant bodies looked black and purple, slowly becoming infected by miasma.
They were resilient though, still holding on even now.
"Don't worry guys, I'm here now..."
