My MP has finally reached 1k, and my other stats had increased quite nicely as well. My skills had stagnated in level, but they\'ll soon level up as I\'ve been training them nonstop diligently.
"Ugh, this is boring, when are we finding a monster?" Wondered Erika.
We had been walking for roughly and hour nonstop, but Erika seemed to be growing bored already.
"Come on, Erika, you can\'t expect monsters to appear at every corner of the damn forest." Said Chris.
"Yeah, be more patient." Said Eric.
"Ugh, both of you are so boring." Sighed Erika. "Blake, can\'t we mount your wolves to get there faster?"
"No, walking is a good exercise to raise Strength and Vitality Stat, so we are walking with our legs, exercise your muscles, everybody. Also even your stats increase over time, Erika. The more you use your soul, the higher your Mana and Intelligence will rise." I said. Although Erika lacked musculature to develop through exercise, by moving her body using her soul, like a muscle, her soul develops too. The more her soul grows stronger, the more Mana and Intelligence she gains.
"Uuuggh…" Erika groaned.
"Well, I guess this is a good opportunity for all of us to talk about we had been doing lately." Erdrich said, he was always bringing out new topics when things got staled.
"Hm!" Elizabeth nodded. "Last week we went to the wilderness with papa and the other priests!" Elizabeth said as she began to talk about what they did last week.
"You did?" I wondered. "Which area?"
"The lowlands! They wanted us to level up so we wouldn\'t be behind you in terms of leveling. Papa said he wanted me to Awaken my Talent as soon as possible." Said Elizabeth.
"I see- Wait, I\'ve never known what\'s your Talent all this time." I said.
"Oh, my talent? Well, it is Priestess! It is only one star though, but papa said it has the potential to evolve into the [Saint] Talent, a three-star talent!" Said Elizabeth.
"A [Saint]?!" Chris asked. "Aren\'t those the women of legend that brought healing and happiness to the kingdoms in the past? It is said that a Saint is born every hundreds of years, usually because a great catastrophe is about to come to this world… they\'re like the hope of the people or something, alongside those with the [Hero] Talent." Chris added.
"Interesting, so there are legends regarding talents…" I said.
"Eeeeh? I don\'t think I am THAT important, after all I wasn\'t born a Saint." Said Elizabeth.
"That\'s right…" Chris said, quickly calming down.
"Well, what did you hunted?" I wondered.
"We went to an abandoned village which was being taken over by a group of Goblins, there are a surprisingly large amount of tribes of them." Said Erdrich. "We had to exterminate this Goblin Settlement which was too close to our village here. It wasn\'t anything too difficult because we had Ellergest with us, and the goblins were less than a hundred, but I\'m pretty sure I "Leveled up" as you call it, a couple of times."
"Yeah! We learned new Skills too." Elizabeth said. "I\'ll show them to you whenever there\'s an opportunity."
"I see, well, I am looking forward to that."
The moment I said such words, I felt a strange odor quickly reach my nostrils, as I looked into the distance using [Hawk Eyes], spotting a large concentration of black essence with a toxic, acidic smell. This was miasma, it seems we have finally reached our destination.
"We are here."
I quickly made everyone stop, as Erika\'s eyes shone the brightest the moment she realized what was happening.
"We are finally in the swamp?!"
"Yes we are here… Stop for now, I need to inspect if it is actually safe to get inside, miasma can intoxicate our bodies."
I quickly walked forward and inspected the area using Falco, Familiars seemed completely immune to the miasma, and so was Eleanora. I directly entered the range of the miasma, but nothing seemed to be happening to me. It was diluted enough to not be toxic as long as we keep our noses high above the ground.
"It should be safe as long as you don\'t directly smell the source of the black fog, let\'s get in."
Everyone nodded silently, as we began to advance.
However, quickly after, we sensed several bushes shake, as creatures quickly crawled out of their nests the moment they sensed our presences.
It was a gray-furred group of wolves.
"Oh, it\'s just Gray Wolves, easy peasy~" Erika said. However, the wolf that emerged first suddenly opened a third and then a fourth eye over its face, alongside its tail, which was thrice as long and ended in a blade-like bony tip.
"GROAR!"
"…Wait, those aren\'t normal Gray Wolves at all!" Eric cried.
"Demonic Beasts! They are way closer to the village than I imagined…!" I said, quickly taking out my spear Gluttony from my shadow. "Let\'s kill them quickly! There might be more groups nearby!"
