2022-07-24 20:07:38At her current level, even a vial of mana potion wouldn't give a significant effect in replenishing her mana. Although she has a high mana regeneration rate, as a master level of Paladin Warrior, most of her skills consume so much mana.
After all, she is such a perfectionist in preparing for something. With this mindset, she chooses to wait for Azzim to recover by his own HP regeneration rather than using her mana to help him recover.
She is the sole healer in the group. She knows it the most, how crucial her mana for them in fighting the Gatekeeper later.
“We've come this far. A few hours of waiting won't be that hard. After all, we still have some time before they reset the realm,” she says.
At noon, they have already dismantled the tent. They only collect a few essential items, such as weapons and a few stock items which they put into small bags. The rest, such as cooking utensils and those tents, they just leave them there.
After all, not long after this, they will face the Gatekeeper of the Sixth Trial Realm, the only way to open the portal to the Seventh Trial Realm. It's something they need to do to clear all the trials they are on.
Gaston, the leader of the group, gives some crystals to Leia. “You open the gate. I need to warm up these muscles of mine first.”
He then starts flexing his arms and waving his huge double edge ax around, as if getting ready for a fight. And Leia enters the large cave on that mountainside by herself.
The cave is not very deep. However, on one side, there is a wall that is so smooth, much different from the condition of the other cave walls. In the middle, there are four slots that match the shape of the crystal that Gaston has given to her.
She plugs the four crystals. A moment later, a notification window pops up in front of her.
*******************
[Alert]
[You are going to activate the gate to enter the Gatekeeper's lair for The Sixth Trial. When the gate active, only five people can enter]
- The gate is a one way gate.
- Once activated, the gate will only last for 150 seconds.
- Do you want to activate it now?
- Yes / No
*******************
She touches the “Yes” option in the interface window in front of her. Instantly, that part of the wall seems to rippled like a moving liquid, glowing in a red color. Shortly after, it starts to turn bluish and gradually becomes a bit transparent.
Even so, she still couldn't see the conditions behind the gate.
*******************
[Alert!]
[The gate has been activated, and will be closed after 147, 146, 145, 144, ….]
*******************
“Hey, Gas! The countdown has started. Do you want to enter or what?” she shouts.
As soon as he hears that shouting, Gaston finishes his warm-up. He walks into the cave by dragging his ax with a lazy sigh.
Zul calmly follows him from behind. But he suddenly stops after realizing the doubt in Azzim. He stands there, looking at Azzim with a curious face.
“What?” asks Azzim.
“What’s wrong?” replies Zul.
But Azzim doesn’t give any answer at all, since he doesn’t know what to say either. He knows that they have no other choice but to continue the trial.
In fact, as an Assassin Class warrior, he has a character who really likes the tension of battle and likes to take risks. He even does reckless things so often.
However, only recently has he realized that he has made a mistake in choosing the path for his character growth as a warrior. Just as they are about to enter The Sixth Trial Dungeon, he feels like he is becoming a burden to the others.
This condition has made him start doubting himself a lot in the last few days. And Zul has also realized it too.
“You see that carcasses down there!” says Zul as he points his chin towards the hillside.
Azzim looks back and finds so many carcasses of monsters on the slopes of the hill they had killed the previous day. Some monsters are still covered in chunks of ice. The rest were butchered brutally, with body parts have been scattered all over the place.
“Don't forget, who made the conditions of those monsters to be so wretched like that,” says Zul, trying to convince Azzim of his own abilities.
Azzim tries to convince himself and steps into the cave. Zul just smiles as he sees his friend pass and enters the cave before him.
Meanwhile, Gaston is no longer found in the cave. It seems like he has passed through the gate first. Leia is seen to start activating a skill, her Vitality Aura Level 1. A moment later, her body is surrounded by a transparent green aura, continuously expanding to cover a radius of 20 meters around her.
In that instant, the HP regeneration rate of all of her friends within that radius slightly increases, a bit higher than their respective base HP regeneration rate.
“Are you guys ready?” asks Leia as she turns back to them.
Both Azzim and Zul nod once. And so, Leia immediately steps into the gate to enter The Boss’s Lair.
As soon as she gets inside, she finds herself in another large cave. Meanwhile, Gaston is standing right in front of her, dazedly staring at a sleeping red dragon.
The dragon is so enormous, sleeping curled up in one corner of that closed cavern. There is also an inactive portal gate, floating above the ground at one corner of the cavern, like a floating liquid in a red color.
“So, what kind of monster are we going to kill?” asks Zul who has just entered the cavern along with Azzim.
Immediately, Leia activates her scanning skill.
“Skill Set! Activate scanning level 3!” she issues, muttering alone while staring at the sleeping dragon.
*******************

Leia’s face is frowned as she doesn’t get any information from the scanning she did, except the monster’s name, The Great Zarkhan.
She seems so annoyed, because she is the one with the best talent for observation skills, and she is so proud of it.
“Shit, just getting the monster’s name? Even Lv 1 Warrior could do that much,” she grumbles.
Feeling not satisfied with that, she uses his highest level scanning skill.
“Skill Set, activate scanning Lv 5!”
It takes her time a bit longer to scan that sleeping dragon using her scanning skill level 5. However, the results she obtained are not satisfactory enough, only showing the monster’s level with five unknown abilities.

“Shit!” she grumbles, looking so frustrated with what she got. As the strategist in the team, this is the situation he hates the most. It’s hard for her to come up with any strategy without knowing what kind of monster they are going to fight.

108 - I Don't Need Your Protection
She is so afraid, doubting whether she is able to land safely after jumping that high. But Azzim is being occupied with all the wolves by himself. Only Toto alone, who is now on a tree branch, reacts to Hannah’s call.“It’s okay. If you are able to jump that high, it also means that you are able to land safely from that position.“Are you crazy? This is too much!”“Just make sure you land properly without twisting your ankle!”As Toto’s attention is averted by Hannah, that mysterious inmate attacks him in stealth. When Toto notices the incoming attack, that inmate’s wooden staff is already so close in front of his face.“Dush!”That one hit manages to send Toto to the ground. But then, one arrow appears toward that mysterious inmate. It’s just a normal arrow, since Hannah releases the shot without any preparation while she is still in mid air.That mysterious inmate manages to evade that arrow, but he can’t follow his previous attack to kill Toto. And so, Toto gets the chance to regro

She approaches Hannah and tells her what she just learned from that pair of unique boots. She looks at Hannah’s holographic text to see her current level and finds the problem with her situation. “Now this is a problem. It’s an active skill. You might need access to Skill Set Command so that you can learn and use this skill efficiently. But I believe you’ve skipped the option for that access, right?” says Leia. “I don’t think she really needs it. Just look at Toto,” Azzim interrupts. The three of them look at Toto, and Toto just puts on his clueless face, not knowing what they are talking about. Leia changes her mind a bit regarding the importance of accessing the Skill Set Command. She then takes off the boots and gives them back to Hannah. “You’d still need some time to adapt with the change. Even without using the skill, the item itself gives you an increase for agility and endurance to your leg for a long journey,” says Leia to Hannah. “Are you telling me that it’s okay to tak

However, unlike Dino, Hannah steps in as if she intends to volunteer herself. “Please, take me with you! You should already know that my observation skills are the best among our group.” “I acknowledge your observation skill,” Azzim affirms. “But I'm afraid you are going to slow us down. Despite being an agility-type warrior, the current you can't keep up with my pace and Toto.” It makes Hannah look so disappointed. She can't deny what Azzim just said. She thinks that the only way for her to progress is to push herself to do something more than she currently can do. And staying together with her mentor, who is one of the veterans, should be the best option for her. She has felt it herself, how much she has grown so far. “If I really have the talent to be an agility-type warrior, shouldn’t it be reasonable that I can adapt to your pace given time?” she asks. “I know it the most, how important it is for us to gain actual experience on the field. But look at the situation first. I’m

Those Kelinians have observed how Azzim and his friends fought against the army of the wolves. They acknowledge those inmates’ abilities. But still, they are winning in number.There are more than 30 melee warriors there, and exatcly 13 archers. But Azzim and Leia are still looking so calm with their situation. Only Toto alone who is looking so worried at the moment.He had witnessed Azzim’s madness when he cleared the sartyr guards in the prison before. Not to mention about Dino and Hannah’s combination attack which has the potential to wipe the entire legion.“You guys, hold yourself. We are not in a situation to create another enemies more than what we already have,” says Toto.“No way! There must be something between them and the one who controled the wolves,” says one of the Kelinians warrior.“We shouldn't have let them enter our village,” says the other.“If only Toto didn't bring them here, we won't...”“For sure you won't be able to survive this night,” Granny Oja suddenly in

Hannah is so shocked, not expecting such a huge firewall to appear. She doesn’t believe such a huge fire comes from Dino’s flame.“Wo, what the hell is that? What’s happening there?” asks Hannah cluelessly.“They must have filled the trench with some oils,” Azzim speculates.“Not at all. There’s no way we would waste that much oil only to create such a scene,” says one of the guards.“We only put dry straw and wood, with so many dry Blaconut shells at the bottom,” explains the other guard.“Blaconut shell?” asks Hannah curiously.“It is a type of coconut, but this one has a shell that contains a lot of gas, much more gas than normal coconut shells.”And indeed, that firewall really looks so weird. The fire is suddenly seen gushing out here and there due to the gusts of strong gas emerging from the burning Blaconut shells at the bottom of the trench.Despite how high the firewall is, those crazy wolves are still so eager trying to cross the trench. Even those who manage to cross it, ar
103 - Battle of the Trench
Right after they receive that news, those inmates rush to the village gate. Hannah becomes the first one to reach the gate, and immediately climbs the gate to join the other guard on the top. She observes all the wolves around the graveyard and at the edge of the savanna. She is so shocked, not only by the huge numbers of the wolves, but also by the strange person among the wolves. There’s one mysterious figure in a goat head mask wearing a dark ragged cloak who seems to be the only human being standing among those wolves. What’s more, Hannah sees a holographic letter above that mysterious figure’s head, citing The Loser No 37. “Don’t tell me?” she mumbles with an awry face. She swiftly snatches out one arrow from one of the guards who stands beside her, and immediately takes aim toward that mysterious figure. Her reckless action makes that guard startled. Suddenly, that guard tries to grab Hannah’s arrow, seeming to try to prevent her from starting a war without the leader’s comm
