Chapter 132: Red Nara and Team
"Inside the wilderness," she sent before adding, "doing something there and then wille to you at the tree line."
Bloom felt something was off, yet he wanted to get some time aler. "Alright, waiting for you," he sent and the next message of Nara made him quite sure something bad was going on.
"Please don''t leave the tree line until Ie back," she then sensed as she said too much, "just to not get lost with each other."
"Lost that''s ame excuse," he muttered before sending a thumb up emoji and then went to the tree line. "She must be dealing with many threats," he shook his head before adding, "I just have to prepare for more battles," he nced back at the many eyes watching him.
They were trying to cover up their presence, yet they failed. "Amateurs," he returned to nce at the wilderness while the n in his mind was starting to take shape.
"I need to sell more of the gears I had," he checked his inventory and found fifty of various gears with different grades and levels. "The problem is that I might need them in my Pandora''s box."
And this was his issue right now. "If Panty intended to use only a handful of his people, then it would be nice. But" he knew this option wasn''t that reliable.
After all if he was in Panty''s shoes, he would have summoned all those he could use and hire to guard him.
"But he might be afraid of someone leaking the news to me."
It was a bet, over the secrecy or the security; and he couldn''t make a choice about the two of them. "What is his personality?" he asked himself, feeling slightlycking in information. "Should I ask Muna?" he thought before dropping this approach.
After all, Muna was still new to the team of Panty and she couldn''t provide deep intel. Unlike his butler!
"I should start using Antoan more," he said and at this moment he heard a ruckusing from the distance.
"Are they crazy?" in front of him he noticed a group of yers trying to mimic his approach from thest battle. Some went ahead to summon monsters and tried to group them in one ce.
"Idiots, sigh!" he shook his head, as the next logical conclusion was for them to lose their lives!
"Gathering the monsters is easy, yet taking rid off the agro is the main problem," he said to himself before watching the tem of fifty yers being wiped out, simply like that.
What he didn''t know was this asion kept happening in the wilderness. It wasn''t limited to his vige, as endless numbers of yers tried to mimic the process; yet all failed!
Some tried to prove he was nothing at all to be worshipped for, while others tried to learn and get stronger from pros like him. Some looked at it as a chance to prove themselves as well, being the second, third, or the first hundred one to copy Bloom''s tactic.
But none expected such a result! And this didn''t demote them, instead it fired their souls up and much more yers started joining the fun.
Even some started topics analyzing the videos of Bloom thoroughly and offering paid services for exposing what they called, Bloom''s secrets!
He waited for a whole hour before finally Nara sent him a message. "We are almost at your ce," she said and he was surprised about one thing.
"I didn''t give her my location," this was a fact. He nced back at those observing eyes while muttering: "The forums or spies in other groups?" he didn''t know the answer.
While he stood there, he noticed her approach from the direction of the wilderness. Her head showed a thing that attracted his attention at the moment; she was red!
And not only her, the other fifty members of the team were also red!
"What the hell?" Bloom muttered, "have they started the party without me?" heughed before using the chaos the lousy team did nearby and moved unhindered towards Nara and the team.
"I left you for a couple of hours toe and find you all red!" The first thing he did was toment on their red status, while ncing at Nara and Jeffrey; they both held the brightest color among all.
"It''s a long story," Jefffrey said in a tone that didn''t suit him.
"Make it short then," Bloom smiled before adding, "or say the whole version, I love hearing stories."
"Well" as he guessed, Jeffrey was told what to say by Nara. Bloom totally neglected Jeffrey while ncing over Nara. "What happened?" he simply asked.
"Nothing," and she shrugged.
"All this red and nothing?" he insisted.
"Just clearing some bad herbs here and there," she didn''t tell him.
"Spies like these," he pointed back towards those standing on the tree line, acting like they were thinking how to join. Their number wasrge, around five hundred yers stood there.
"Well, you can consider them that," she replied before trying to end this topic, "we have killed them all and now we are free to go and level up in dungeons."
He nced at her for a moment there before saying, "your secrets your choice."
He turned towards everyone, who acted like they were enjoying sightseeing in the middle of this wilderness. "Sigh, even everyone?!" he nced at her while remarking in a helpless tone.
"It''s not me," she denied.
"Sigh, I''m not that obsessive person, you know," he said while saying to others, "party is over, nowe and listen well to what I''m going to say."
Nara nced weirdly to him; she thought he would ask them about what happened.
And so she gave the others a silent, warning nce while they just nodded.
"Sigh, I''m not going to ask about what happened," he turned to her as he said, "you wille and tell me everything on your own," he wasn''t in the mood to press on her for more details right now.
If she didn''t want to say, he would wait.
"I want to speak about the dungeons and monster raids from now on," he then added, "two professions must be sought; levelers and rmer."
"What?" some eximed in surprise, while Jeffrey expressed his doubts louder and clearer:
"There are no such sses like these!"
"I said professions, not sses," Bloom calmly said, "these are just two kinds of yers that we must add."
"Can''t we let two of us do it then?" Nara seemed not encouraged to ept new yers to her team.
"They can''t," and Bloom decisively refused, "they can''t do the leveler as their levels are higher than what we need, and they can''t be the rmer as they are strong and we need their strength inside, not outside."
The team exchanged nces in confusion and puzzlement. "Can you exin then what these two are?" Nara asked, while trying to get on a unified grounds with his strange demands.
"Leveler is someone with a much lower level than us, not exceeding five levels, and be part of the team," he said.
"For monsters?" Jeffrey suddenly understood his meaning.
"Sure."
"Why didn''t I think about doing such a thing before?" and then Nara muttered to herself while sizing up Bloom again.
To her, he was just nobody, lucky to be known in the early stages of the game. Yet she knew he wouldn''t be able to beat the others in the long run; she once firmly believed that.
Yet the more she dealt with him, the more she started to change this view. He wasn''t that bad! Every now and then he would surprise her with something so simple yet she never noticed; like this leveler term he just said as if it was an established one.
"What about the rmer?" she asked.
"It''s for rming us if someone was standing outside the dungeon, waiting for us," he didn''t want to expose everything at once. ''Let this be a secret for a while, if it''s still one,'' he thought to himself.
"You mean to just add a random yer to stand on guard outside the dungeon?" One of the team asked, in confusion. "What will be his rule? Only to rm us from any ambush?" he added.
"We can just assume we have ambushes outside each dungeon!" another one joined in.
"An rmer is a must," Nara suddenly said, standing beside Bloom while sending him a private message. ''The dungeon heist problem?'' she asked.
''Oh, you know about it already!'' Bloom was surprised, yet not to that degree. He now realized his enemies were familiar with this, and he should take the dungeons more seriously.
''It''s not a well known fact. I paid a lot to get my hands on it, and now you are also aware of it who are you?'' she seemed more shocked than him, and much doubtful.
''Bloom.''
''C''mon, your real world name!''
''Bloom!''
''Tsk, if you don''t want to say it just be brave and refuse, not lie!''
''I''m still Bloom.''
''Lying is for kids!''
''It''s still Bloom!''
''Tsk, forget it, you are hopeless!''
