Chapter 102: Practically Suicide
[Magic Points: 6,024 MP]
Leo was taken aback by the sudden increase of Magic Points.
‘6,000 Magic Points! I can buy pretty much anything I want now from the Magic Shop except for Increase Mana Regeneration that costs 7,000 Magic Points.’ Leo was filled with excitement and couldn’t wait to start shopping once again.
However, he wasn’t in the situation to do so at the moment.
Once they finished splitting the mana cores, Leo stored them into his Spatial Ring, counting 510 B-Rank mana cores as he did so.
After that, Leo retrieved the tent so that they could clean themselves and get some rest.
Leo went into the shower first because he was covered in goblin blood, which stank like crazy as it dried up.
“I know I said that I wouldn’t look at our rank until next week, but I can’t resist my curiosity. I really want to see our rank after killing 1,020 B-Rank monsters in just two hours, which is over one million points. I will be shocked if we’re not in the top 10 at the very least.”?? ? ?? n ? ???
[Rank: 34]
“…”
Leo became speechless after seeing their new rank. Although their rank had increased by 200 in just two hours, it was still ridiculous that there were over 30 teams ahead of them.
Nina looked at her watch and said, “Don’t be discouraged. I doubt the disparity between us is that large. Of course, there is a chance that these teams have encountered and cleared a monster nest as well.”
“Regardless, I still can’t get over the fact that we’d managed to clear a B-Rank monster nest by ourselves and in such a short time. It’s really shocking.”
Leo looked at her and spoke, “Is it really that shocking? It was really chaotic, but it wasn’t that difficult.”
“Of course it’s shocking! Do you have any idea how many Adventurers it would take to clear a monster nest of that size? At least 500 B-Rank Adventurers with some A-Rank! Meanwhile, we’re just two students that’s still in school. What we did was practically suicide.” p??da n?vel
Leo’s eyes widened after hearing her words.
“What!? If it was that dangerous, why did you agree to it? You also seemed pretty calm throughout the whole thing!”
“When I’m nervous, my face freezes, hence why I looked so calm throughout the whole thing. In reality, I was actually really nervous on the inside. With that being said, I got a little less nervous after seeing your skeleton warriors. Your Summon Skeleton Warrior is only Mastery Rank F, right?”
“That’s right.” He nodded.
“My skeleton warriors are Rank B, yet they aren’t as strong as your Rank F skeleton warriors. I’m ashamed to even be called a necromancer in front of you…” she sighed.
“But you can summon much more skeletons than me…”
“That’s only because of my Mastery Rank and the artifact. When the magic spell was still Mastery Rank F, I could only summon up to 5 skeleton warriors at once. As for skeleton mages, I was limited to 1 of them! Meanwhile, you can summon 50 skeleton warriors and 5 skeleton mages. The disparity between A-Rank and S-Rank magic affinity is truly like heaven and earth. I’m envious of you, Leo.” Nina stared at him with a bittersweet smile on her face. ,c,om
When he heard Nina talk about the disparity between their skeleton warriors, Leo pondered for a moment before asking, “Does magic power affect our skeleton warriors’ strength?”
“Of course. Summons become more powerful and durable with more magic power.” She nodded.
‘I see… So that’s why my skeleton warriors are stronger despite being a lower Mastery Rank. I have increased magic power because of the Magic System.’ Leo thought to himself.
“Anyways, let me know if I decide to do something reckless next time. We were lucky this time and managed to clear the monster nest without any problems, but we might end up dead the next time. And don’t just blindly follow me. I’m not as experienced as you. If I make a stupid decision, correct me.” Leo said to Nina afterward.
“I understand,” she nodded.
“You too, Lilith. Why didn’t you say anything when I decided to confront the monster nest?” He suddenly glanced at her.
Lilith raised an eyebrow and said, “Because I was confident that you would be able to clear it without any problems. Nina may not know what you’re truly capable of, but I do.”
“Is that so… Thanks…” Leo couldn’t blame her after hearing such words.
Sometime later, Leo and Nina left the tent and continued their journey to the next hunting location.
p ?? da n ?v el A few hours after they left, some students arrived at the monster nest by chance, and they were shocked by what they witnessed.
“Holy shit! Look at all these corpses! This is a monster nest!”
“It ‘was’ a monster nest. Who is responsible for this? Judging by the corpses and blood, they were killed only a few hours ago…”
“Damn it, if only we’d arrived earlier! These are goblin warriors, right? With the amount of corpses here, we could’ve definitely reached the top 50!”
“Something doesn’t look right here. A monster nest of this size would require hundreds of Adventurers to work together to clear, yet I don’t see any camps or Adventurers nearby. It’s only been a few hours since this place was cleared, right?”
“Now that you mention it… It’s too quiet here.”
These students decided to take a closer look at the scene.
“Their mana cores have been harvested.”
“Look at their wounds. A lot of these corpses only have a single injury, meaning that most of them had been killed in a single strike.”
“Perhaps this was done by an S-Rank Adventurer?”
“It would make sense why there’s nobody around if this was done by an S-Rank Adventurer.”
After looking around for a little longer and not finding anything, these students decided to leave the place and returned to farming points.
