Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 79: first region, clear!



The fight went as might be expected from shaken foes and overpowering heroes, very laughably easy. Yunan took the lead attracting most the of the aggression followed by Lili who broke through the ranks then came Leol who picked off the stragglers that escaped from Lili while Reina took out her crossbow and went for blunted bolts and head shots from the rear.

Soon all the students were on the ground either knocked out cold or moaning from pain and unable to get up, shortly afterwards the legion of priests and nuns took over the fallen students and transported them away, while Debauchery made their way haggard and out of breath towards the cheerleaders.

The fight may have been easy but there is not a snowball's chance in hell that four kids can take on 250 armed foes without paying a price for it. Although the armors were fine and in good shape, the wearers were not, they used up too much stamina and took on too many hits for the sake of ending the fight faster.

As they arrived they saw Debauchery seniors paying their due debts, that is why the juniors did not count their takedowns, they knew full well that Debauchery seniors were already keepin tabs for their bet. "Who won?" Lili questioned first. Balin pointed at lucian and Drogon was passed to Reina.

Reina had taken advantage of her teammates and the confusion to focus on those who were closest to being taken out of the fight and sometime she even stole some from her teammates, a fine strategy worthy of a disciple of Debauchery.

By sunset the kids were soaking like kings in the hot spring paid for by Debauchery, they enjoyed the back rubs and the relaxing aroma of the bath as much as they enjoyed the professional hands that massaged their tired bodies.

As for Debauchery, they went on a rampage after doing a hot spring version of the ritual under the amazed gazes of the servants, they just got their hands on a mana bomb from the old era and they needed so much materials For balin to tinker with it to his heart's content.

They decided to leave the academies as numbers training for the kids, although 4 vs 6 battle is hard enough when the 6 are of higher level, they needed to learn how to conserve their strength for hordes of less powerful creature of be overrun by them. First they targeted the residential towns and storage location and leaving the inhabitants and workers for the church to deal with.

They also let the kindly old pope include the guild master secretly so as to prevent information leaks, and other preventable mishaps that can be related to The Supreme Cult. the guild master was impressed by the amount of information extracted as well as the number of captives, he thought Debauchery would just go for the kill and send the relevant information to both men. Well he was impressed too early.

The following morning Debauchery took down another academy with better results this time for the juniors, they lasted longer and took less damage but they were still recklessly charging instead of keeping a formation and deal with the threats one at a time. As for the afternoon Debauchery juniors almost lost Reina because she was focused by archers instead of Yunan or Lili who were trying to draw most of the aggro.

Thus the first thing they did in hall number 5 on monday morning was ask about formation, and how to execute them proficiently. That lesson was a bit harsher combat simulation since Debauchery seniors decided to target the flaws in the juniors formation making things worse than usual. As for the afternoon it was left for dealing with the cult.

By the end of the week Debauchery had eliminated a total of 14 academies and a total of 40 towns and the central base in the region surrounding the lonely mountain. Since the region was as clean as they could make it, Debauchery decided to return to th level 2 goblin nest for the weekend while balin was tinkering with the mana bomb.

Yunan, Reina, Lili and Leol were now more attune to the concept of a formation and were able to fight with a 4 goblin unit relatively easily, this weekend they made it halfway through the goblin territory before being forced back by the increasing number of patrols and the members of each patrol from 4 to 6.

On sunday the kids refused to join any form of training or action, they wanted to have some fun and play around to relieve some of the stress they were under by fighting every single day in the last 3 weeks. Something no ten year old could sustain any longer.Yunan had the bright idea of visiting the old barber with Debauchery and this time Bring the pope to feel what it means to be the butt of a joke and still enjoy it.

Although Lili did not get the point of spending your free time at a barber shop the infectious enthusiasm displayed by Debauchery got her curious and tingling with anticipation. The pope was easily dragged in by the mere sentence "don't you want to spend time with your daughters on their only day off in weeks? What a bad dad!". As to be expected the old man was beside Debauchery with in 5 minutes with his trusted sisters by his side.

The barber shop was still as old and rickety as it was but there was a crowd around it with many raising prices as if gold coins grew on trees or something. The old man would only work on those he liked and no amount of money would make him choose you. When the old man saw the smiling and anticipating faces on Yunan and party as they pushed their way past the loud, he stood up and welcomed them inside with a big smile. "Coming back for more, eh? I thought you forgot about my old bones"

Yunan passed the old man a storage ring and had to wrestle Balin and Lucian for first turn on the barber chair but they were all waved away by the old barber who pointed at Lili to be first and thus the quiet barber shop went back into the roarous laughter once again
