Chapter 114
It is a short hop, the portal is almost inside the city, on the edge of an ocean front suburb. Just enough time to stow my robes and double check that my braids haven’t come loose. It’s been a while since I got to wear my leathers out on a trip, and the guys are suitably impressed.
"This explains why there’s so many monsters first thing in the morning. Dungeon reset." I say pointing at the portal on the water front.
Everyone shakes their heads in recognition of how great a blunder has been made.
A group has already cleared the entrance to this one today, or they all left, so we move on to the next location. It’s out in the dunes, south down the coast.
"That’s nearly as massive as the one dislodging giants was" Vinnie sounds a bit defeated.
"And there’s still plenty in the area, but manageable." I add. "You all know the drill. Kel’Mira is driving, I’ll take point. Oh, and here’s some radios The Guild dropped off before we left. Shout if there’s an issue."
The total outside the portal is about 15 huge Earth Elementals. At least they might not smell as bad as the fish people. Hui’Jin enchants the bullets with explosions though, so she’s at a disadvantage today, as are the lightning archers.
I dart straight ahead of the truck while Kel’Mira is getting buckled in, targeting the closest Elemental with the huge blade that once was a giant’s dagger.
They have no eyes, so I don’t bother to hide, making targeting easier for my allies, and leap up to plunge the sword into the center of its chest where the Poison Elementals core was in the dungeon back home.
