Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 73: New target

The week passed by almost peacefully in the Mar sara academy, there ware little changes in the training, with the exception of the missing Bai, Debauchery continued overpowering their juniors with level 2 fighting power, making every single battle training a struggle for the kids who have just reached level 1.

Remarkably enough Lili caught up with the other kids in term of fighting skills and overall capability. It turned out she had a talent for growing under stress and duress. Which put some pressure on the rest of the kids, if Lili just kept advancing at this pace she would overtake all of them, and they could not just let it happen.

Along with daily battle drills the kids were required to play chess thrones and sing different songs at the same time without getting influenced with each other, other than that, outside battles the kids were required to keep moving -dancing was most encouraged- while studying other forms of knowledge, like math and physics. The rule of no homework was still in effect and the kids always could relax after the second period was over.

During the week, the only incident happened thanks to the brotherhood of swollen faces who seemed to have recruited older kids who were about to leave the academy and enticed them with Drogon who became the hottest news, but thanks to the fear left behind by the purge, no one dared to even confirm it.

Well, as to be expected, when the brotherhood ganged up on Reina and Lili who were assigned for bringing food that day because they looked to be fragile little flowers holding a freaking dragon, the brotherhood of swollen faces was henceforth aptly renamed the brotherhood of dislocated joints. The fight did not even last long enough for the girls to do more than dislocate a few shoulders and elbows before most the attackers were already down and moaning from pain.

Lili had learned a lot from Debauchery lately and the most recent lesson was to never let anything grow into a future headache, and according to Debauchery the only way to deal with a problem is to use sufficient deterrent force. And so both Lili and Reina took their time dismantling the downed opponents by dislocating the 6 most crippling joints, elbows knees and shoulders. They avoided hip bones because they still could not dislocate them as cleanly as Balin.

The poor brotherhood of dislocated joints stayed floored until midnight when they were noticed by a guard who reported the assault on over a 100 students of both genders, of course when director Joey woke Debauchery juniors up in the small hours of the night, the excuse they gave was "look at them! How can such delicate little flowers do such a thing? The swollen faces are the worst they could pull and that is on the premise of self defense, dislocating joints methodically is a no no", to solidate the story the girls made heaving sounds when the words "dislocating joints" were said prompting poor Joey to apologize for the disturbance and leave the juniors alone.

On the weekend it was time for hunting again, this weekend they assaulted a level 2 goblin nest that had stronger and smarter goblins who could use ranged poisonous attacks, as well as a better equipment compared to the last nest. They ended up only hunting on the periphery and avoided getting deeper inside the territory as well as the patrols that started to show up when the goblins began to disappear.

It took all 4 kids to attack and kill a single goblin, and they took twice as long to kill the groups of two patrolling goblins, and they avoided the rest, thanks to the constant vigil, the kids had learned faster how to recognize trails and marks to escape danger under the guide of Lucian. The true beneficiary from the hunt was Drogon who seemed to enjoy gorging itself on the higher level monsters, to the point it started to refuse eating the level one kobolds.

On sunday afternoon before Debauchery made their way back to the academy for the new week, Bai arrived and the return was delayed because of the nature of the report he was bringing. First thing Bai did after everyone sat down in a circle was to praise Fortuna and ask her for more stability in luck and fortune.

Bai had found the bases of the cult known to the latest captive, he found them under evacuation and thanks to the chaos and some lucky encounters he could save some documents and read the memories of some of the enforcers, he also traveled along for the newest location as well as receive the same information as the cult members about the new contacts in the guild and the order to leave the old contacts alone since they were compromised.

He also managed to loot one of the vaults and pinned it on one of the enforcers he encountered and read. He took out a ring and passed it to Leader after he took out 4 matching light armor sets , the armor sets - armor and two short swords- has a multitude of enchantments, including a fitting, a shadow meld, and night time invisibility. Basically this armor would fit who ever wears it no matter the shape, it would look like part of a shadow if the wearer stood in shadows they become harder to notice, finally it would grant invisibility during the darkest hours of the night or unlighted locations.

He also found out the location of some other bases where they train their members, as well as the central base in this area, Bai decided not continue his investigation and return to Debauchery to let the cult feel a little bit of peace before a new purge started. Under Leader's order both rogues -Lucian and Bai- were to infiltrate the central base and find the location of all the bases under its supervision and return before the weekend because the next weekend hunt would not be monsters but humans.

The kids were not as happy with the hunt as they were with the rogue armors and ended up playing with them all night long and using them to slay a few more level 2 goblins i side the nest and slip out almost undetected.
