The Adventurer System

A young woman who had silky white hair revealed herself, as she removing the mask that covered her face.

"What the Hiller Knight doing in this place?!" Her eyelids were widened since she seeing a man in the middle of the field wearing glossy black armor.

No one could explain what exactly happening at the Draven Sea. As Grim Draigh quickly transformed into new his outward appearance.

Under the sunset, Yumiro was wearing shimmering black armor with a red lining in the edges. Moreover, he was holding a blue elemental sword that was perceived by the other adventurers' eyes.

"What level that armor?!"

"Wow! I thought he's belonged to the brawler class?!"

Mix emotions by adventurers encircled the area. However, it was easily faded away when they saw the high-level adventurers partake to watch the duel between Grim Draigh and Orlan.

"Hey, Alison is here!"

"Oi! I never expect I could see an adventurer like her in this kind of place."

Nerfin knitted his forehead. "Alison, what did you do? You just lure the attention of these adventurers, we should leave this place right now." 

"We can't do that, Grim ask to take care of this little girl." Alison responded as she had already move-on in the scene that just transpired.

"We can leave this little girl here, Alison. She's just an NPC nothing bad happened to her." Nerfin said in a high tone as any moment they would surround by those adventurers.

"Stop it, Nerfin. We should get his trust since our Guild Captain wants him to become a member." Alison replied.

"Eh? B-But, why?" Nerfin stuttered.

"Even me, I'm still wondering what is the true reason. Yet, in the meantime, you should stop them from chasing us."

Nerfin clicked his tongue along with the question of why he needed to do this? Nevertheless, he spread his arms to cast a defensive magic skill.

A blue magic circle came up in each side of his body, with an annoyed expression on his face.

[Kraken Shield!]

All of sudden, a circular transparent blue light covered the three of them.

"Tch! It's done." Nerfin said.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Alison knocked the barrier three times, then unexpectedly hearing the sound of metal. Seemingly because of the high magic power Nerfin had, he was able to manipulate a tough magic shield like this.

"Its good no one could enter with this, but next time, you should focus since you're better with it."

In Alison's mind, this barrier would never be enough once they were inside the high-level dungeon. The approximate damage it could receive was just two attacks of the monster that reached the third evolution.

"Yeah, I'm just doing you favor. So you should be grateful." Nerfin responded.

However, Alison knew the appearance of Grim was the Hiller Knight from the Lynx dungeon. Yet, the question here was why he become like this?

'This is about his zexel or just his skill? No, it's not possible. A Brawler class would never use this kind of skill. More likely, it is because of his zexel but what kind of passive skill he could have? To do the transformation likewise?' Alison uttered to her mind as she was so confused about what her eyes seeing right now.

...

"Hey, what are you doing?! This is against our rules?!" Orlan said as he seems frustrated with his current situation.

"What rules?" Yumiro replied in a cold tone along with glared at his red eyes.

You could easily see Orlan was just fibbing. Yet, he still spits untruthful words out of his mouth. "T-That sword! It's on the bet, you should not use it." Orlan stammered.

"Oh, really? There are no rules I can't use my weapon. I just bet it so you could able to get it if you win against me. If..."

'If what? If I win? This man is talking big now.' Orlan uttered to his mind.

"Shall we end this?" Yumiro said in a lifeless tone, then dashed to Orlan's location.

Since Yumiro used the Grete sword, he could utilize the skills of the Hiller Knight. Although he even knew the true strength of this sword he was looking forward to seeing it right now.

'I'm lucky that I could reserve a small amount of this core. So no one suspects that I can change into a monster's form.'

His fault back then, he ate a large amount of monster's core in his every transformation.

[Celestial whip!]  

[Tunnel Drive!]

Boom!

To stopped Grim from his flashy pace, Orlan whipped the white sand to shatter all over his face. He then used the [Tunnel Drive] skill to conceal again his presence.

Swish!

A sharp sound appeared in front of Orlan, and the white sand elevated in the mid-air was swiftly cut.

"How he can find me? No, that's just a coincidence." Orlan mumbled, then shifted his position in a different direction.

Swish!

Unfortunately, Orlan scowled when he felt there was a keen blade slicing the waist part of his body.

"Ahhh! What the hell! Supposedly he should never see me." His head was stretched upward as being shocked by the occurrence.

Extreme coldness he experienced in the part where the Grete sword cut him. Even though he hasn't had ice attributes still the sword could give this kind of feeling.

His blood was easily frozen, however, Orlan shouldn't feel complacent. Since if the blood froze inside your body, it could stop the circulation of blood and might trigger natural effects.

[Hardened whip!]

Swish!

To continue the flowing of blood, Orlan cut himself without making any second thought.

'Jeez! Why did I drown in this kind of stuff?" Orlan started to regret why he accepted this duel.

[Grim Draigh HP:878/1150]

[Orlan HP:512/950]

"How much health power he has?" Orlan asked himself, then made a distance with Grim.

"Why are you running? Come over here..." Yumiro chased him with annihilation eyes.

"No, I'll lose if I continue to run away. I should fight back. Inventory!" Orlan took his level 2 knife.

In his left grasp was the knife, while in the right grasp was the brown whip. "I should fight him in close combat in order to win..."

Orlan and Yumiro dashed to each other along with their weapons. In 5 meters distance, Orlan swung his right hand.

Swish! Clang!

[Hardened whip!]

Despite his attack hit on Yumiro's shoulder, yet the strength wasn't enough to deal any single damage.

Although Orlan's attack won't work out, he followed up with his left hand.

[Stab!]

This skill is one of the basic skills of the Rogue class which inflicts +65 damage in an instant.

Clang!

Yumiro successfully deflected it with his Grete sword. Then they were pushing each other by using all their strength.

[Physical transmission]

Nevertheless, Grim Draigh had taken the lead as he used his skill to enhance his physical strength in just the blink of an eye.

"Scorpion kick..."

He bent his body straight forward, then directly kick Orlan's face. His body attack was like a scorpion.

Thud!

Orlan whacked to the ground and spit some blood out of his mouth. As he was expecting, Grim would just wield his sword to counter-attack.

Alison discovered Grim was specialized in Martial Arts by seeing his moves and the transition in his every attack she was assured about it.

As soon as he saw Orlan could not quickly regain his footing. Yumiro jumped over him without making any hesitation.

He was not showing any expression on his face, just an aura that he needed to finish this fight.

"Inventory..."

Yumiro took the red knife out of his inventory, and lockdown Orlan in his position by using his heavy armor and [Physical transmission] skill.

Orlan struggled as he wanted to escape with Grim. As he seeing the red knife pointed at his face without showing he will hold back.

"W-Wait!" Orlan stuttered with a shivered body.

However, Yumiro decided to wouldn't respond with his words. Just raised his hand the same level as his chest.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Yumiro stabbed Orlan's chest without any reluctance, even though blood splashes on his face he kept going.

Everyone was stunned as this was the first time seeing an adventurer brutally stabbed by the low-level adventurer.

So some of them wanted to intervene in their fight, but in just glared of Yumiro, they forcefully stepped back.

"Brother Grim! Stop he can't fight!" Yuki yelled as she didn't want to see her brother acted like that. 

Yet, Yumiro hasn't cared as the only thing he could see was his opponent's face. He swayed his hand left and right.

*Ding!*

[The opponent surrender! Orlan's HP and Grim Draigh's would be back to 100%]

The blue view screen appeared right before his eyes as the system notify him. So if he continued to attack, he could PK Orlan in an instant.

"I-I surrender, let me go! You're a monster!" Since Yumiro lost his attention, Orlan was able to push it.

Then now, he was dumbfounded at the Yuki terrified eyes. As he admitted his anger take over his mind.

"Y-Yuki..."
