BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35 Water
"Do you think we could get to tier 4 with this run?" Elysia was curious as it seemed like they were blasting through the tiers.
"I don't think so but if we do conquer this dungeon I can only assume that the floor boss is a tier 4 leader or maybe even a tier 5." Shaman was sure that the boss was special so she was debating if they should fight right now or wait till they reach tier 4 to take it on.
"Well we should start grinding anyway." Elysia did not want to face the boss of the floor yet and rather kill a bunch of monsters then struggle.
"You're right, so let's just start rampaging through this floor." Shaman had a grin as she knew she had an advantage and also wanted to see if she could get her hands on a new element.
*
Shaman and Elysia were currently blasting through the different regions killing ogres, orc, goblins and kobolds. Blood was shed everywhere and the two girls were leaning on each other's backs breathing heavily.
"Now who said it was a good idea to make out while we kill enemies since it was becoming boring." Shaman and Elysia had gotten bored so they thought it would be a little difficult but after trying out Elysia's idea Shaman wished she did not agree.
"Well I thought making love while killing would be fun and romantic but I will admit it was a hassle to use my bow and now that I think about why the hell did we do that." Elysia had come to the realization that it was a stupid idea and was surprised that they pulled it off.
"It was interesting but still never again." Although Shaman did enjoy it, it was not worth the risk.
"Well now that we are both level 45 and Wolfy hit 40 I think we should leave it at that." Elysia also now had the ability to see Shaman's status due to the system thinking they are married.
"I agree but I want to try to harness another element while I am here and since we are in a swamp a lot of magic water particles are in the air." With that said Shaman started to meditate and started to let the magic flow out of her core. After reaching tier 3, within her body a small crystal started to form which was the container for her mana. Although she cannot see it she can still feel that something is there.
'I guess this is how someone is able to gauge someone's magic ability.' After noticing the core she went back to gathering the water element to her hand.
After 5 minutes or so water started to spin in her hand and Elysia who was watching was amazed again how Shaman is able to harness the elements so quickly, she even thought she might be able to harness another element.
Shaman then suddenly opened her eyes and a smile crept up as she saw a ball of water in her hands.
[Element - Water tier 1]
[Maxed elements learnt]
[3/3]
[please tier up to raise the cap]
Shaman was satisfied and threw the ball away. She looked over at Elysia who had her jaw open.
"What's with that face you literally saw me master fire right before you and we were about to be killed." Shaman had a grin as the books she had gathered found out that not many people are able to master the elements and only high tier magic casters are known to be able to use different elements. She also noticed that people rely on formations to use magic and is the reason why the technology is almost that of a modern world.
"It is just that you are only tier 3 with 3 elements which has never been done before like seriously are you from another world or some god who has descended just for a little fun." Elysia was being sarcastic and had a grin on her face but Shaman was internally freaking out because she was half right.
"haha, no I am not but when you have a system it makes things a whole lot easier, you should try and learn another element as well." Shaman let out a dry laugh and tried to change the subject.
"I wonder which Element I should learn." Shaman had successfully changed the subject and so Elysia started to seriously think about it and so Shaman let her be and assigned her 180 attribute points.
[Attributes]
Vitality: 100 -> 130
Agility: 155 -> 185
Intelligence: 170 -> 200
Strength: 170 -> 200
Dexterity: 120 -> 150
Defense: 100 -> 130
[HP 1300/1300]
[MP 2000/2000]
[more memories have been uncovered]
Shaman raised an eyebrow as she had forgotten about the previous owner's memories and so she had not checked on them for a while.
'I should probably have a dive and see what has been uncovered.' After assigning her points Elysia came up with an answer.
"I want to learn lightning and wind." Elysia thought since Shaman had learnt three why stop with just learning one and try to master more elements.
"I see, we can easily do wind but lightning may be more difficult as it is a variant of wind but we can definitely give it a shot." Shaman liked Elysia's choices and Shaman also wanted to learn lighting but felt like it won't be as simple as the basic elements.
"Well anyway we should get a move on and sell these cores and maybe we will be able to upgrade our rank but I think we still need a tier 5 core before we can do that." Elysia nodded and although they had over a 100 cores of different monsters they would still need to provide a tier 5 core so they can rank up to C rank.
"Oh well but lets head out." Elysia wanted to lay down on a soft bed in Shaman's embrace, she even started to hug Shaman's arm as they walked towards the exit.
But as they arrived at the entrance they were horrified by what they saw.
There was a young man covered in blood with 4 bodies of beast man around him, he licked his lips and put his blades away.
"Jeez they were annoying but nothing too difficult, I should store these bodies and leave quickly." The young man started to store the bodies in the ring.
But when he lifted one, Shaman got a good look at the face.
Something within Shaman snapped, and what seemed like another person inside her started to take control over Shaman. Despite Shaman being fully aware she was unable to control what she was doing and was overwhelmed by something in her and could only let it happen.
"no no no no no, this can't be." Shaman was in disbelief as she saw one by one the dead faces of a group of beast men that they were accompanied by. Elysia was also staring in shock but did not feel much for them as she hardly talked to them unlike Shaman.
'Why, why, why does this happen, what did they even do, why is that we beast men are always targeted, why does it feel like a life and death situation just to survive in a city.' Shaman was screaming internally as she had a form of friendship with them and seeing them be brutally killed really hurt her mental and made her start to spiral as images of all the innocent dead girls had appeared again.
Although their time was short Shaman felt a connection with the group and really liked them so after they left they made sure not to see them so they did not get dragged in but it seems like her attempts to not get others involved was futile and so Shaman started to break down.
'It's all my fault, I am the one to blame, why did I make friends, who's next, will it be Elysia will she die just because she is my girlfriend.' Shaman's started to spiral down and soon started to turn to anger as she came to a conclusion.
'No, it is not my fault, it is these shitty human organizations that allow this to happen.' After coming to this conclusion a seed of hatred for all humans was planted as she would not trust a single one unless they showed kindness and would give equal treatment to other races.
Anger started to well up inside Shaman and her mana started to go haywire. Elysia saw this and tried to calm Shaman down but it was too late. The anger and Sadness welling inside Shaman exploded alerting the young man. The young man looked over to see the fox girl and paled slightly.
"You need to die." Shaman expression changed to a dead look as she stared right into the eyes of the man in front of her.
Shaman who had a dead expression released a huge amount of killing intent causing the man to buckle. Shaman's hair also started to change colour to green, blue and red which represented all her elements. The man looked up at her to try to speak but the suffocating pressure from Shaman did not allow it.
Shaman was in a state of rage and sadness and tears were starting to fall down her face. Elysia was mesmerized by how Shaman looked but then a notification rang out.
[user Shaman is in danger please stop her or else she may kill herself]
Elysia became vigilant as now her beloved was in danger from herself so she needed to get rid of the problem which was this man.
'I need to eradicate him before Shaman does something she won't recover from.' Elysia then pulled out her bow and aimed at the man. Shaman was slowly walking to him, giving Elysia time to kill him.
'I need an explosive arrow, let's see if this works.' Elysia then condensed fire within the arrow and made sure to use an extra powerful shot to make sure to kill him.
'Alright, let's hope this attack is enough to kill him and dispose of his body.' Without wasting time Elysia shot the arrow Whizzing past Shaman and entering the man's neck. with the arrow in his neck a fire explosion rang out and the man was instantly turned to ash.
Shaman who was blinded by rage could only see the man in her sights so now she could only see that he had turned to ash and so she started to revert back to her white hair. but upon reverting back she passed out.
Elysia dashed to grab her and successfully caught her. Elysia got a few notifications of her new skill [explosive shot] and rescuing Shaman. She was relieved that the emergency notification about Shaman was gone. She sighed and sat on the floor with Shaman in her arms and could not help thinking that she had successfully stopped whatever calamity was about to befall on this dungeon.
