Chapter 124: Evan D. Sherden, Enters the Dungeon Again (5)

Evan D. Sherden, Enters the Dungeon Again (5)

[You have evolved to level 6.]

God's message heard by those who cleared the dungeon floors didn't usually extend too long.

Even after clearing the Floor Master, you received two sentences of praise most of the time, and at most, a skill or two.

[The young girl defeated the Hidden Boss alone with her own abilities, and her achievements are truly amazing. Although there was someone who guided the path for her, she wouldn't have been able to do it without her strong will and brilliant talent.]

However, for those who entered the dungeon with Evan, it was considered normal to hear God's message that went on longer.

It was unheard of that God would devote time to one human being, but it had become natural for Evan and the group, who had experienced this as soon as they entered the dungeon. Of course, it was the same with Arisha.

[Therefore, you will get a new class as a reward for the achievements you have collected and the tasks you have completed in a short period of time.]

Clearing the 5th floor didn't mean that everyone doing it would get a class! It only meant that there was a high probability of getting a class, if any at all, and that was also just a basic one!

It was only possible on the 30th floor or after that to get luxurious rewards like a specific class for an individual only. But Arisha was going to get it right now!

[You are the wind. Among the winds, the cold one is volatile and swift. You are fated to fly in solitude. You are like a whirlwind, but you still choose to stay next to one being.]

Arisha heard the voices of several beings at once. In fact, they were all voices that had been heard by either Shine, Belois, or Raihan before. Discussing her fate, the entities emphasized that she was heading the wrong way. And after explaining everything, they gave her a choice.

[That is why I will allow you to choose your own path. Choose who you want to become.]

[But don't forget, you're a free wind, and if someone tries to hold you back...]

"I am a free breeze, so I also get to decide where I want to stay."

And of course, as others had done, Arisha chose her path willingly. Was it her destiny to be a whimsical and free wind?

"Freedom is doing what you want to do. Enjoying what you think is fun. I want to stay with Evan for now."

[As expected, ...everyone else's path beside him who walks on an extramarital affair ends up going against him. But this is also a new fate, and we will accept it and love your choice even more. So, kid, you will be called the 'Probationary Knight of the Whirlwind' in the future.]

[The Mana Sword will be given only for you. 'Rapier of the Wind' is a sword made only for you and is only completed when the skills to handle the body and mana into a single point. Only you are allowed to see the result. Go on with a great deal of effort and prudence.]

The gods had respected and accepted her choice. Furthermore, they had given her new powers and abilities. It looked like she was going on a whole new path, different from the one that Arisha von Pellati took in the game.

"It's a mysterious feeling..."

Arisha's body trembled slightly as her dungeon level was rising. Her body was twisting, and it seemed as if new internal organs were being created inside of her. It was the same when she was awarded 'Wind Step'. That was enough evidence that the class she had just gotten as a Wind Apprentice and her new skill of Whirlwind Rapier were having a great influence on her.

"That went smoothly."

"Yes, I got a new class and ability."

As Arisha was checking her own body and making strange expressions, Evan and the party who were waiting for her to level up approached her.

"Huh, you really get a job because you've cleared the fifth floor. Even though there's not much reward, hunting the Hidden Boss is a direct way to get a job."

Evan admired the fact that Arisha had really gotten a class. Seeing his eyes twinkling, Shine narrowed his eyes and asked.

"That means that all of the Rookie children brought into the dungeon in the future will also fight this Blood Goblin Fighter, right?"

"It would be great if it were just that way."

Evan thought for a moment when he heard Shine's words. Of course, he had no intention of doing that. Not Shine or Belois, but Rookie people unknown in the game's character dictionary could not kill the Hidden Boss at Dungeon Level 5.

But hadn't he decided already not to worry too much about the problem of their roles in the game? Then, of course, the possibility of those who were not the protagonists was also to be acknowledged. It was only right that he had to trust and rely on children who trusted and followed him.

"How about it, Shine? If you judge it coldly from the standpoint of the vice commander who directly teaches the prospective members. Is it possible?"

"To tell you the truth... with your dope medication, I'm sure it's possible."

It was not only Evan who had watched the battle taking place in the Hidden Boss battle room but also the other members of the party. And everyone was impressed by Arisha's ability and sharp senses, along with the effects of the Divine Magic and Evan's potion!

The gods had said that Arisha had fought with her strength, but strictly speaking, that wasn't true. Of course, her abilities were excellent, but they weren't enough to easily defeat the Blood Goblin Fighter that appeared beyond the 20th floor at this point.

'But I still don't understand how she was able to gather such strength by Raihan's Divine Magic and the potion only?'

Shine was gaping at the battle with his mouth hanging wide open all the time. He was even more amazed because he somewhat knew Arisha's abilities before she fought the Hidden Boss. How the hell could Evan's potion be that good!

"It's different than being drugged, boy. It strengthens you."

"When you talk about alchemy, you resemble Bernard-nim's tone, Young Master."

"Oh, no. Anyways, no matter how useful potions or Divine Magic are, it's useless if you don't have your original strength because, in that case, they won't increase it much. I'm sure of that."

Of course, Evan's alchemy had improved enough to be recognized by Bernard, and it was true that the potion he had made was very effective. However, if Arisha hadn't been able to control her increased physical abilities properly, she would not have beaten the Blood Goblin Fighter. It had looked so easy, but in truth, it wasn't. All of them were able to progress because Arisha had the skills to use her physical abilities efficiently.

'In the end, she was rewarded for her achievements and got a new class.'

If so, could it be applied equally to the Rookie children as well? Evan thought for a while, thinking about the children who were still training hard, and finally nodded. He came to the same conclusion as Shine.

"My pupils can do it. Each one of them is training very hard. And it certainly supports the results."

"Well, yes. I think so, too."

Of course, it may not yet be possible for them to surpass Arisha's abilities individually. No matter how efficient the training was, there was an overwhelming difference in the training time itself and age, so Evan couldn't help it.

However, if they were able to make good use of their teamwork, they might be able to attack the Hidden Boss on the 5th floor with their own strengths.

'I think this tactic will be good for them in the future. If I want to make sure the Rookie kids' foundation is strong enough, I should start investing in them. The potion's price will be a lot, but we'll do it anyway. Then all the members of the Dungeon Knights will break through the Hidden Boss' Battle Room. We shall try this too.'

Drugs that raised the consumer's ability to the extreme were made by using expensive ingredients and had great aftereffects.

However, Evan was able to use his alchemy skills and even more expensive materials to reduce the aftereffects to a minimum, and thanks to that, the production cost skyrocketed. Nothing could be said about the rarity of the Elven tea leaves added at the end too.

Arisha's dungeon trip this time had set a good precedent in many ways. Evan's fundamental perception had also changed, and accordingly, the Knights' operation in the future would be unique!

"By the way, Miss Arisha."

"What?"

Evan sighed and added the production of a buff potion to his to-do list when he heard Shine asking a question.

"What is your class name!? We are in the same party after all and will be moving together in the future as well, so shouldn't we get to know each other better?"

"You are smiling. Do you have something against me?"

"It's nothing really. But for reference, my class is 'Blood Butler'. I'm just saying we should know about each other."

"I am a Mana Maid. I am very happy to assist you."

These guys couldn't stand it and appealed again! Why was Belois standing next to her and making a sly expression?

Evan looked at them. From a distance, he could see Raihan, who was just standing there with his mouth shut. He didn't want to tell them that his class title was simply called 'Shield'. He understood Raihan.

If Arisha asked Evan about his job, he would escape the dungeon, and he would lock himself up in his room.

"Probationary Knight of the Whirlwind."

"What!?"

The words from Arisha forced him to raise his head too. It was definitely not a class that could be obtained at the level of clearing the 5th floor!

"It's not just wind, it's Whirlwind? This means you got double rewards."

"Belois, do you understand what Master is talking about?"

"Silly, Shine, wait. Master will explain."

He had explained it to the party before that the more complex the modified class's name, the higher it was ranked in the series.

For example, Shine had gotten a class that modified the ordinary class of a butler with the word 'blood', while Belois had gotten a class that modified the ordinary class of a maid with the word 'mana'.

So, it could be said that both had achieved a very good class. However, Arisha had gotten a bigger class than both of them.

"The job Arisha got this time is a knight in the high ranks of other professions. First of all, this is amazing. To tell you in advance, getting a knighthood doesn't mean you'll get a job of Knight. It's a mixed concept of real abilities."

So, the primary goal of the Sherden knights was to acquire somehow a class called a 'Knight.' Among those who received the title of knights, there were many who had classes other than it.

"But she's a probationary knight."

"The word 'probationary' means it will be removed if you've done a good job. You've already secured a position as a knight."

"I see..."

Comparing grades simply with words is bad for Shine or Belois, but when comparing Probationary Knight, Butler, and Maid, her job was much better.

'It's good enough to just be a probationary knight, but then the word ''Whirlwind' comes in. It's not just ordinary wind, and has more characteristics. In conclusion, it is a class that is clearly more than one level higher than the class that Shine and Belois got!'

"So, Evan, is it amazing?"

"It most definitely is."

"So, is it fun?"

"No, it's so amazing that I don't know."

"Hmm... I'll be satisfied with that for now. Because I had a lot of fun."

Arisha nodded a little with a slight smile on his lips. Her satisfaction increased even more when she saw Evan's startled expression.

"Hmm..."

"The Knight... is it a service... Ummm."

Meanwhile, Shine and Belois, who saw her, became moody. They couldn't erase the thought of losing to Arisha. And looking at them, Evan had no idea of what they were fighting.

'It's really amazing, but... it's annoying.'

Only

In other words, her future and direction of growth would be different from what Evan had known. She had mastered the Rapier of the Wind, which was surprising to Yeo Ban-min, a geek of the Yo-Ma Great War series in his previous life.

'I was vaguely expecting this to happen, but will my involvement with Arisha from childhood really lead her to a better future? Is that a good thing for me? What about this world? I know that it's useless to think about this already but still...'

Still, if a change occurred that was clearly different from the game, Evan would inevitably become nervous. He knew that the best he could right now was to just focus on what he could do.

Evan laughed away his worries and looked back at the party members staring at him.

"Okay, then let's go down to the 6th floor. We should start exploring the lower floors of the dungeons in earnest!"

To Evan, who said so with a firm nod, Shine tackled coolly.

"We have to eat before that, Master." Oh... even if the dungeon attack by Arisha was quick, it had already been eight hours since they had entered the dungeon. Evan quietly led them to a nearby shelter.

It was still his responsibility to cook for them...
