Chapter 18: Charge!
Seven Sins System Chapter 18. Charge!
We spent the rest of the journey talking about all that could happen there and how to deal with them. Including the worst case where another, more powerful monster came and we had no other choice but to fight it.
I also warned them about a few things, especially about their strength's limits. Even though they were only about level 20, with good cooperation, I predicted they could defeat all kinds of monsters up to level 40.
So if we encountered a higher-level monster than that, we should retreat. It also only applied to one at a time. If there were two of them, we also had to back off. Well, in urgent cases, I could use my tentacles to kill the monster secretly.
"Any other questions?" I asked. My eyes swept over them. We just got an announcement that we would be arriving at our destination in a few minutes and entering the battlefield as soon as we arrived.
"No sir," they answered in unison.
"Good." I turned to the monitor in front of us. The city view had changed to a beautiful green field from an hour ago. Some low-level monsters around us immediately fled as soon as they saw the vehicles. A small camp surrounded by thick wood fences was not far in front of us.
An announcement appeared in front of me.
[Do you want to accept a quest?]
[Clear your first mission and protect your team.]
[Type: Side Quest.]
[Target: Team 8.]
[Reward: Quest points and EXP.]
[Yes] / [No]
As usual, I chose yes. Although a bit strange, it seemed that the quests were related to my emotions and desires.
I returned my gaze to them.
"Claire, Barry. Remember. Dodge if you can, parry if you have no other choice." At the same time, I extended my hand to them.
'Devil's Blessing.'
White light enveloped and entered their bodies. Yeah, that was also because of my Fake Status.
[Your team ATK, M. ATK, and SPD + 75%]
[Time remaining: 14:59 ]
Then an announcement came from the monitor.
"We will arrive at our destination soon. Please, prepare for the impact."
Apart from leveling up, since their eyes were connected to mine, I could use them to observe the forest.
"Barry, our mission isn't over yet. Keep your weapon ready," Claire warned him. Just like me, her eyes were watching the surroundings with caution.
At the same time, Evie was busy destroying the mounds around us with her earth spell.
"Relax, Claire. We have killed them all," said Barry. His hand swept around, pointing to the monsters' bodies around us.
"But the chief hasn't shown up yet," I reminded him. My eyes scanned one monster corpse to another.
The same went for other mentors. They swept their gazes around to make sure the Mad Boar Chief wasn't among the bodies.
"Oh, shit..." Barry muttered. He quickly recalled upon his lance and swept his gaze around him in caution.
But a second later, I found where The Chief was. He was in a cave with another horde of Mad Boar. It looked like they wanted to trap us. Unfortunately, I found them first. So I simply made my tentacles kill them one by one and ate them.
[All enemies have been defeated!]
[Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!] [Level Up!]
[You are now Level 20. HP +100, DP + 100, ATK and MATK + 25, DEF and SPD +10]
[You get 1 quest point]
[Now you can use your wings]
[Your Wrath point has gone up by 10]
[Wrath 20/1000]

[HP: 980/980] [DP: 630/630]
[ATK: 355] [M.ATK: 355]
[SPD: 63] [DEF: 63]
I closed my eyes as a surge of energy flowed into my body.
'This is much-much better than chicken wraps.'
Meanwhile, Evie was about to use her earth spell to destroy another mound. But a huge fireball shot through it and it shocked everyone.
