A modicum amount of time had passed from that moment. It was a short amount of time where not even one hour had passed. It was also the moment in their lives where Artpe and Maetel had to focus the most.
Artpe was in a precarious situation where his Mana was about to bottom out, so he continued to keep a low profile. In the end, Maetel’s Swordsmanship had reached level 9…..
The Skeletons, who were exhausted from battle, tried a new tactic where they purposefully tried to die through Maetel’s attacks. However, Artpe intercepted them by throwing his shield into their abdomen. They were put out of the battle by the hard hits, and the only thing these Skeletons could do was roll around the floor.
Finally, Artpe felt himself reach his limit in terms of his body and Mana.
“Hoo-ooh. Koo-hoo-ooh….!”
“It is all done, Artpe!”
“Ggoo-oohk. All right.!”
Artpe was moments away from losing his consciousness. He was about to fall to the floor. However, a voice of an angel could be heard through Artpe’s ears. Artpe gritted his teeth as he fought to stay up. He checked the state of the Dungeon.
It was as if hell had manifested on this floor.
[Goo-gahk, gah-gah-gahk…...]
[There is no way…. I’ll accept…..]
[Death… I only want an honorable death…..]
The number of Skeletons, who had died, was zero. The number of Skeletons capable of continuing the battle was also zero. The floor was a mess. It was hard to tell if the bones were ribs or spines. They were all just rolling around the floor.
The two heroes had taken down over 400 Skeletons, and it drove home the absurdity of the situation faced by the party of two.
“Are you ok, Artpe….?”
“I’m still alive but, you…. Are you able to cancel your Berserk state?”
“·…...yes!”
It was as she said. Her emotions started to calm after speaking those words. The red haze that had covered her entire body dissipated, and her Mana calmed. Artpe let out a bitter laugh at the sight.
Rage had swept over her, and her rage had paralyzed a portion of her rationality. He had been a little bit worried that she wouldn’t have been able to cancel her Berserk state. It might have led to an accident occurring….
It seemed his fears had been baseless.
Still, a wrong was a wrong even if the two of them survived the battle unharmed. First, he ended the Mana link with her. He narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a stern voice.
“Were you aware that you had learned a dangerous skill?”
“Yes. However, if I hadn’t maintained it, I thought Artpe would die….”
“Still, if you had died, all of this would have been for naught. If I survived while you died in this place, do you think I would have been happy?”
“Ah-oooh.”
When she heard Artpe’s cold voice, Maetel’s cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head. When he saw this sight, he finally took his ire down a peg.
It was easy to forget, but she was a beginner hero. She had picked up the sword less than a week ago. She was only a 12 year old girl. Yet she had somehow kept a hold on her rationality as she maintained her Berserk skill. In truth, she deserved praise.
