Chapter 34: Big Monster
With higher physical stats, their need for rest also decreased.
After four hours of sleeping, Erix and Rin woke up feeling fully refreshed.
But they actually spent a total of five hours in bed since they had a passionate battle for an hour before falling asleep.
"It's five of the evening," Erix said as he looked at the clock in the room. "Let's finish the quest by night."
"Today's night will be the darkest for people all over the world," Rin said with a wry smile.
After that bright light appeared on the horizon, all electronic devices stopped working. So naturally, people would have to light candles after sunset.
…
Rin and Erix didn't wear their old clothes after bathing and went to bed naked. So after waking up, the dilemma was to get clothes.
Their previous clothes were dirty because of all their adventures since they met on campus.
"Unlike you, I am fine because this armor set is a perfect outfit," Rin said with a grin as she wore her Dawnless Armor set.
The Dawnless Armor set didn't have actual armor, as it consisted of a black t-shirt with a black skirt, a cap, and boots.
Rin looked sexy and beautiful in this outfit.
The T-shirt was pitch black with long sleeves, made of comfortable material. The skirt was unique. It was two-layered, with the black outer layer having sun-shaped holes and the back layered being wholly white and soft.
"What do I wear? Just this robe?" Erix ruefully smiled as he wore his Black Star robe.
[Black-Star robe: It can defend against physical attacks of creatures below level 15].
"I think it's fine if you button it, haha. It's a long robe, anyway."
Erix rolled his eyes and buttoned his robe before saying, "I'll ask for some clothes. The military should have some outfit of my size."
*Knock…knock…*
"Erix, Rin! Are you awake?! There's trouble!"
*Kncok…knock…*
Erix and Rin were startled as they heard Serina's voice.
They opened the door and saw Serina with a slightly anxious expression.
"What happened?"
"T-There is a big monster outside the base trying to enter inside," Serina quickly said.
Lieutenant Polly and another soldier stood behind her with somber expressions.
"We need your help," Lieutenant Polly said with a severe expression.
"Get me some clothes or a military uniform that fits me," Erix said as he came out of the room wearing his mask. "And give us the details of the monster."
"I'll go first and take a look. You can come after wearing clothes," Rin said as she dashed outside. A hint of excitement in her eyes. 'What kind of monster is it?'
Erix felt Rin's excitement when she spoke and wryly smiled.
"We'll bring you a set," Lieutenant Polly nodded and left with a soldier to get an outfit for Erix.
"Should I wake up, Miss Isabella?" Serina asked.
"Yep," Erix nodded.
…
*Crash!*
"What should we do? Its health is too high, and our guns are not working at all," the General said with a deep frown as he watched the frog from the watchtower.
He had fear in his eyes as he looked at the giant six-meter-tall frog with red eyes attacking the.
Of the three barrack layers that protected the base's gates, the frog had already destroyed the first layer of the barricade, and the second layer was almost finished.
*Swoosh*
It shot out its powerful tongue again, destroying a section in the second barrier. The metal spikes and plates broke and started melting as saliva on the frog's tongue had potent acidic powers.
All people from Bunker A, B, and C had gathered on the ground as they heard loud sounds and guns firing.
"What is happening?"
"Something is trying to break inside."
"Damn! What kind of monster is breaking through?"
Ben looked at the public and saw his family on the ground as he frowned. "The public is getting worried. If only we could contact those twenty-six people that went out."
Their high-leveled soldiers and civilians were in that group!
Suddenly, Ben saw Rin dashing towards the gate before she made a long jump and landed on top of the gate.
"That's way more than the world record for the high jump," Ben muttered, seeing Rin's jump.
"This girl and that boy… Let's hope their group can kill this monster," General Tark muttered as he felt helpless. "Also, let's also get strong."
"Do you want to join them about their five-person leveling method?" Ben raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah. No need to wait for those who went out. I want to get strong fast," General Tark said as he clenched his fist. An uneasy feeling was welling up in his heart.
"Why is she not attacking?" Ben questioned as he saw that Rin was just watching the frog.
Rin was looking at the frog's status and was waiting for Erix since she deemed it dangerous to attack it alone. She also got a notification about the frog being a rare encounter, like the Centipede they killed at the back of the campus.
[~Corpus Toxin Frog~]
_Level: 52
_Vitality: 4000/4000
_Attack: 200
_Defense: 200
_Status:
—> [ Magic: 100 / Mana: 1000/1000 ]
To check her skill damage against this monster, Rin pointed her sword at it and used her Sword Beam.
[ Sword Beam (1st Tier active skill) ]: Unleash a straight beam from your sword that deals penetrative damage—20 meters range. The skill's damage further increases according to the user's Magic stats and the weapon it is used from.
*Swoosh!*
General Tark and Ben finally saw Rin attacking.
-147!
*Greee!*
The monster frog made a painful sound after Rin's sword beam hit it on its head.
'One hundred forty-seven damage… Tsk. It's tough.'
Rin's magic power was low, and the sword was also not that powerful, so considering that the skill was quite powerful as it dealt that much damage against this tough foe.
Rin thought as she decided to use half of her stamina and unleashed four more Sword Beams, each costing her ten mana points.
*Greeeeee!*
Sword beams injured the monster frog, and it started bleeding.
Alas, it couldn't reach Rin because of the barricade since the range of its tongue was only 10 meters.
"Woah, he is flying!"
"How?!"
People on the ground saw Erix flying while standing! Like Magneto.
Rin turned around and saw Erix approaching her while Isabella, Lena, and Serina jumped on Bloodwood Eagle and flew out.
"How?" Rin asked with curiosity as she saw Erix flying like that.
"Hah, I put two small metal plates inside the boots under my sole," Erix said with a grin. He was in a military uniform, and over this uniform, he wore his Black Star black robe with silver patterns.
"Nice, that's clever," Rin chuckled. "Anyway, let's hurl our long-range attacks at this frog before it destroys the barricade and reaches here."
