Chapter 123: Dungeon (2)

—

The first time Neji stepped inside Floor-1 of this 'Tower', he counted 5 save-stones releasing pillars of light in the sky.

Mursha's village had one of them, the Lake Fishmen had one, the Cyclops that killed all the males of the Ogre tribe also had one, so currently Neji owned 3 of the 5 [Save Stones], with only two remaining.

From what Neji heard from Mursha, four save-stones needed to be destroyed for the last to be accessible, which was currently inside a barrier. Right inside the barrier, the White Tiger also resided, protecting the save stone.

Meaning, if Neji were to destroy four of those save-stones, his only way of escaping would be the one beside the White Tiger. In other words, until he defeated that beast, he would be stuck here.

So Neji planned to first hunt the 4th Save Stone today and come back tomorrow for the White Tiger.

"So time flows faster here than the outside world?" Kimi asked as she walked beside Neji in her armour. "This is all kinda interesting. Maybe there are other continents in the endless sea? I am curious now. Oh, maybe I can finally make my own manga! It would be about this place, a hero chosen by the world who fights the demon lord!"

"Trash."

"Hey, come on!" Kimi protested Neji's insult. "That plot is one of the classics. Back in the 21st century, it was very popular. Though these days we don't see it anymore. Honestly, entertainment has fallen so low these days. It's all about hero this, hero that."

Kimi and Neji were taking a walk around the small village, with Kurai running around on the other side away from them.

Kimi and Neji were almost of the same height, with Kimi being 3 centimetres shorter, standing at 180 centimetres.

"Also, are there vampires?" Kimi asked. "I would have liked to meet more Cat-Girls and Dog-Girls too, but I already saw many of them in the outside world. But I have never seen any Vampires, which is why I am curious. Oh, I remember there was once a rumour about a baby being born with a Vampire-like Quirk, but never heard any news after that."

She had her hands behind her back as she leaned over to Neji's face. "Do you plan to get a Vampire girl?"

Her blue eyes stared at his own and Neji slid his tongue across her chin, causing her to shudder, but only smile in the end. "Stop, that tickles!"

Neji laughed at her and shook his head. "I don't know. It really depends." He slowly turned around in the middle of the village where a large crowd was gathering. "Anyway, everyone has gathered so it's time for us to move."

Neji walked in front of the gathering of monster girls who were ready to fight their lives away.

"The only intelligent faction left is the Great Wolves." He spoke. "A faction consisting of different species of wolves, who feed on anyone who isn't themselves, serving under a single leader."

Except for their leader, they can't communicate with other species, but they were still one of the biggest four factions in this part of the jungle.

The 21 Orc and Ogres nodded their heads, some shaking while some standing brave. Kurai was on top of Mursha's head, who was standing a step in front of everyone.

"Our plan this time is simple. I will take the lead and attack from the air. The wolves can't fly, and while they might have aerial attacks, I will leave those on your hands to care. Also, this time, you're allowed to kill if you're able to stop one attack."

The reason they were almost defeated against the Cyclops was that they weren't allowed to level up in their attack against the Fishmen. Doing that wasn't smart, Neji learned from this experience. So this time around, he will let his people get some kills too.
