Chapter 86 - 87 – Meeting the sobeks.
[Yesterday.]
"Thanks for the food, man. I haven't had a pizza for the while." – said Rampage in real life.
"No problem. By the way, can I ask you a favor?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Ye, what up?"
"Could you not tell the others about my past and all? I don't want to kind of bother them with it and the only reason why I told you about this was because you realized that I was Road."
"On top of that, I wasn't expecting at all that you two were Rampage and Blueberry. So… You know."
"Okay. We get it." – said Rampage.
"But are you sure about not telling them this?"
"Yea. We are already quite busy with our current job, so it's better not to add any distractions right now."
"Maybe when this is all over, I will tell them myself about it, but for now let's just focus on our job."
"Oh, okay. By the way, I've been wondering about something. Why haven't you been bringing out O'a at all. Is there something wrong?" – asked Rampage.
"Yea. Is there a reason?" – asked Blueberry.
"Oh. Em… Do you want a spoiler?"
"…. Em…. Yea?" – said Rampage.
"Okay, so here is a spoiler- "
[Back to the present.]
[Level up! You became level 275.]
"Fuck me! There is really no end to these fuckers!" – said Shri.
"Yea. Not only that, but they are bit strong as well." – said GreyHunt.
"Honestly, I'm kind of wondering. How did the sobek village wasn't destroyed yet?!"
"Are they really that strong to repel those number of monsters?"
"Probably. They were stated to be the best soldiers of the Umali kingdom in the past. So, I think they have means of defending themselves, even though they become cowards." – said ClownFrog.
"But I'm not complaining much."
"This place is quiet good hunting ground and we are leveling up a lot."
"And not only that, I was able to quickly level up my beginner skills I got from the dark mage and the dark priest."
"And thanks to that, I manage to make them reach standard dark magic and real believer of the darkness ranks."
"And thanks to that, I unlocked few new classes!"
[Dark Mage] – [Standard Dark Magic] + [Necromancer] – [Standart Necromancy] = [Abandoned Necromancer] - [Rare Class]
[Dark Mage] – [Standard Dark Magic] + [Dark Priest] – [Real Believer Of The Darkness] = [Heretic Mage] - [Rare Class]
[Dark Priest] – [Real Believer Of The Darkness] + [Necromancer] – [Standart Necromancy] = [Unholy Necromancer] - [Rare Class]
"I got freaking three new classes! And 2 necromancer classes! I wasn't expecting for the dark priest and necromancer to have a combo class, but I was god dammed wrong!"
"But didn't you said that the necromancer classes take a shit lot of time to level up? Why would you try to get 2 new necromancer classes? I know that you have a lot of points, but won't leveling up all of them took some time." – said Shri.
"It won't sis. It's just like me. I have multiple classes that are related to each other and each of them provide levels to each other." – said Oron.
"Yea. But for my its bit worse? Necromancer classes takes way longer to level up, so picking multiple necromancer classes isn't that smart."
"But I want to be a true necromancer, so I want to have as many different necromancer classes as possible."
"Also, I want the class skills that each necromancer class provide."
[Basic Abandoned Necromancy]
[Provide 8 necro mastery points X times this skill level.]
[Basic Unholy Necromancy]
[Provide 8 necro mastery points X times this skill level.]
"I desperately need necro mastery points and the best way of getting them is from the class skills."
"Oh… So, wait, the more necromancer classes you have, the more undeads you can have, right?" – said Rampage.
"Yeb."
"So like what? Is your plan is to have a freaking horde of undead under your command?"
"Yes!"
"I'm going to have a fuking army under my command!"
"Huh. Neat." – said Shri.
"By the way, why aren't you bringing out the O'a guy?"
"Yea. I've been curios about something. Why we haven't seen O'a for so long?" – asked GreyHunt.
"We really could use his help right now."
"Em…."
"…Fuck. I don't have any freaking excuse now, do I?"
"Okay. Fine."
"It was supposed to be surprise when the time would be right, but here comes."
"O'a mutated recently."
"?"
"I don't get it. You mean like rank up?" – asked Shri.
"No. Its bit different."
"Do you remember that thing we got from the bite ant dungeon long time ago? When we were distributing the loot?"
"Hm…. No. Was there….! Oh! That thing! What was it called…" – said Shri.
"The [Self-Nature Essence – Acid]." – said ClownFrog.
"Yea! That thing!"
"It supposed to evolve a monster or something if I remember correctly." – said Oron.
"Yeb."
"I never used it after we beat that dungeon. I was waiting to get a proper undead that I could use this thing on, but so fuking far all the monster we encounter weren't that worth keeping around."
"But after O'a appeared, thing changed."
"I had a talk with him about this and he agreed to allow me to use this thing on him."
"I used it and he evolved into the acid skeleton knight."
"He got new skills and some of his old ones got mutated."
"Oh. Wait, so his evolution is done already?" – asked Shri.
"Yea…. About that."
"I was curious about something and tried targeting the O'a with the rank up skill and as it turns out, I could do that."
"Not only that, but he would keep his acid ability and all."
"Both me and O'a got extremely curios and O'a really wanted to have been ranked up, so I used it on him."
"And here comes the thing. The O'a ranking up isn't done yet."
"By the look of things O'a after absorbing the power of the acid had become much more powerful and because of that, the ranking up him will end up taking quite some time."
"Wait. So back then you used the acid thing on him and then began ranking up process. But quite some time passed already. How much longer it will take him to finish ranking up?" – asked Oron.
"Well, since I put him in the undead record, the time needed to doubled, so the ranking up should finish somewhere tomorrow." – said ClownFrog.
"Damn. But now I'm quiet curios about something." – said Shri.
"The power of the acid provided a power up as well as granted new skills to the O'a and even mutated his skills, right?"
"Then after he is done with his ranking up, how will that work with burning?"
"Will he be able to wield both fire and acid? Burning acid?"
"I don't know. But he and I are really looking forward to this." – said ClownFrog.
"Anyway, O'a won't be able to join us for now, so for now focus on the task at the hand. We still have yet to reach the sobek village."
The giant oasis where the sobek hidden village was located was to brim infested with the monster to the points it's no wonder that the existence of the sobek village is unknown to the humans.
Anyway, thanks to the harpies instruction, we know the path we need to take to reach hidden village, but it still took a lot of freaking time to reach it since we had a nonstop fight against the monsters living in here.
However, we manage to arrive to the location where the sobeks hidden village is located.
"!?"
"Guys! I see a wooden wall!" – said Oron.
"Nice! It must be the sobeks village." – said Shri.
"Common, lets- "
Rampage suddenly stepped right in front of the Shri and blocked a spear attack that was launched at her.
"?!"
"Tch. By the look of things, they realized that we are here." – said Rampage.
"Intruders!" – shouted a voice from unknown direction.
Suddenly, around the party a group of sobeks appeared, surrounding the party from all directions.
"!"
"Wait! We are not the enemies!" – shouted Oron.
"Shut up! If you value your life then tell us how did you found this place!" – said one of the sobeks.
"He is speaking the truth! Here! We have the sigils from the Melody Tail, Dessert Vulture and the Sand Cobra tribe!" – said ClownFrog while showing off the sigils.
"?!"
"The one who told us to get here were the harpies! They should have inform you about our arrival!" – said ClownFrog.
"…"
"Let them through." – said the white sobek that wearing a helmet.
"I know the gist of the story from the harpies. You are allowed to enter. Fallow me.
The party fallowed the white sobek into the village.
(?!)
(Jezus. There same if not more sobeks than the Melody Tail tribe members. But… There is not many houses in here?)
"Fallow me." – said white sobek while entering the building.
(?)
(Wait. This thing look similar to that temple building that GreyHunt discover in the cursed oasis.)
The party fallowed the sobek into the building and moments later they found a stairs in front of them that ended up leading them underground.
However, after taking the stairs, the party found themselves not in the temple like the last time, but an underground city.
"?!"
(Okay. What the actual fuck is this?! This an entire god dammed city?!) – though shocked ClownFrog.
"Keep moving. We are heading straight towards that building over there." – said the white sobek.
The party fallowed the white sobek and entered the underground city.
(Fuck me.) – though ClownFrog while walking around the city.
(This is a proper settlement. This guy seem to have everything in here. Farms, smiths, alchemists shops and everything!)
(But above everything, what the hell are those numbers?!)
(I think there is as many as 3 other tribes combined if not more.)
(Not only that, that but this place is perfect!)
(We can use it as our base of our revolution when will start!)
Soon the party entered a castle like building and began traveling through its halls and before long, they found themselves in front of a giant door.
"We are here. The chieftain is right behind those doors. Are you ready?" – asked the white sobek.
"Yes." – said ClownFrog.
"Well then, don't mess it up." – said the white sobek.
(?)
(Why did he said "Don't mess it up"?) – though confused ClownFrog.
