Chapter 47:Dungeon Exploration With Amelia And Lyra (2)
Mikael stifled his laughter and focused on the task ahead. He summoned two E rank swords from his storage ring, items he had purchased at the Academy using his credits. Amelia followed suit, producing her bow and a quiver full of arrows as she prepared for the upcoming fight.
Lyra, who had been silently observing the exchange, couldn't help but smile. Watching Amelia's flustered reaction and Mikael's effortless teasing, she thought, 'Maybe Amelia isn't so bad after all. I remember my first time in a dungeon—I was so much worse. I was completely petrified when I saw my first monster.'
Her gaze softened, though a small pang of possessiveness flickered in her chest as she added inwardly, 'Still, she is spending a lot of time with my friend.'
Mikael and Amelia exchanged a glance, nodded in silent agreement, and wrapped themselves and their weapons in their respective auras. With their preparations complete, they turned their attention to the eight Bonefiends ahead. Amelia nocked an arrow onto her bowstring and released it with precision at a sleeping Bonefiend, which was blissfully unaware of the impending danger.
As the arrow flew through the air, Mikael closed the distance between himself and the monsters with remarkable speed. The startled Bonefiends awoke, but one of them barely had time to react before Amelia's arrow pierced its skull, killing it instantly.
Chained Sword Style – 1st Form: Blade Tempest
Mikael's chained swords blurred with incredible speed, slicing through the air like a whirlwind. In an instant, the remaining seven Bonefiends were struck by the flashing blades.
A heartbeat later, Mikael's swords returned to his hands. The Bonefiends froze momentarily before blood erupted from their heads, and one by one, they collapsed lifeless to the ground.
[E- Rank Monster Bonefiend killed: 3K XP received x7]
Amelia and Lyra stood in stunned silence, their jaws nearly dropping as they processed what they had just witnessed. Seven E- Rank monsters, effortlessly dispatched by a ranker who was only at F- Rank.
"Eh??" Amelia exclaimed, her surprise evident. Her thoughts raced, 'When we sparred, he never used that technique. Does that mean I'm not even strong enough to make him take me seriously?' Her fists clenched tightly. 'Genius talent, my ass. He may be better than me now, but I'll surpass him!' she resolved, her green eyes burning with determination.
