DUNGEON CREATOR
Ch.12
Grotesque sight displayed before her eyes as Sora watch the group dismantling the monster skillfully. In silence they work fast and swift dismantling the monster while sometime they raise their head and look the surrounding as if searching for something, curious because of their odd behavior Sora asked.
“Are you guys looking for something?”
She asked while looking her surrounding trying to find what they look for.
“No lady, we’re just being cautious because there’s a monster in this forest attracted by the smell of blood.”
“I can help you if it’s just watching, and stop calling me lady.”
Sora told Dwane to stop calling her lady since she’s not used to it.
“Thanks we’ll count on you then.”
After a brief chat Dwane back to his work, and Sora watch their surrounding. Thirty minutes have passed, as they start to wrap the meat and its skin with thick clothes from their small bag, Sora noticed something.
“Um… guys, is that the monster you’re talking about?”
Surprised because of what Sora said they turn their head towards the direction pointed by her hand, they see a monster with hands like a dagger and a spiky scale on its back, and prepare their weapon facing it.
“Shit, it’s really Gremlin.”
“What should we do Dwane?”
Julius asked Dwane which seems to be their leader while Sora muttered ‘Appraisal’ towards the said Gremlin with voice small enough so they can’t hear.

“No! we can’t outrun that.”
“So, what would you suggest us do? Fight it? You know we can’t win against that thing.”
“No we cannot, not with just the three of us.”
“What are you talking about, there’s just three of us.”
“No we’re not.”
As he said so Dwane turn his head towards Sora.
“Sorry lady, but can you give us a hand?”
“Eh…? You want my help?”
“Dwane are you out of your mind, she doesn’t even know Bane Bison, how can you expect her to fight Gremlin.”
“She’s right Dwane, you should not ask her to fight.”
“Shut up both of you, my feeling tells me she’s strong.”
“What? You make your judgement based on your feeling?”
“Hmm, alright I’ll help.”
“Eh…”
“Eh…”
After declaring that she will help, both Anne and Julius shocked. While complaint keep coming from Anne and Julius, Sora draw her sword and make the three of them gasp with amazement. Feeling confident because her status is above the monster Sora decide to try fighting it to test her strength.
Ignoring the shocked three, Sora dash towards the monster but surprised because her speed is beyond what she expected, a moment later she noticed that she’s already in the front of the monster and she panickedly swing her sword side way up. And the next moment Sora stop behind the monster as it split diagonally, making the three shocked even more.
Happy not because she killed her enemy easily but because how she did it, Sora thinks in her head ‘did I just do an anime move, did I just do a badass move. Damn, im so cool’ overjoyed about what she did, she sheathed her sword and walk back towards the trio with a smile on her face.
“Damn, I know you’re strong, but I didn’t think you’re that strong lady.”
“I told you to stop calling me lady.”
“Hehehe, It just come out naturally.”
While Dwane already back to his sense both of his friend is still shocked with their mouth open, and when they realized it Sora already next to them and they immediately apologize to her.
“We’re so sorry for doubting you madam.”
“Ugh, now its madam, can you at least just call me Elris.”
“Anyway I thought that we’re going to have meals?”
Uncomfortable of what they call her, Sora decide that the faster she get to town the better and remind them of their original goal.
“Oh, right, but first let’s get away from here first, we don’t want another Gremlin shows up while eating .”
Walk away from the two monster corpse they try to find an open space to make fire for their meals. Several minutes later they find a space big enough to make fire, after Sora and Dwane done collecting tree branches they return only to find Julius and Anne sit quietly facing each other.
“What’s with them, I deliberately told them to prepare the meat so they could chat to each other and get closer. And yet they just sit there without talking.”
Dwane complain to Sora as they walk closer to them, and with a sigh he shout.
“Oi, what about the meat?”
“It’s done we’re waiting fo you guys to make fire.”
Julius shout back while Anne seems to search for something in her bag. As they done with preparation Sora curiously asked Anne who hold two small stone in her hand.
“What are those?”
“This? Its magic item we use to make fire.”
As she said that she hit the stone to another aiming toward the fire wood that already set in what seems to be a furnance made from stone stacking on top of each other and a fire spark can be seen coming from it as it start to burn the wood. As the fire grew bigger Julius pull out a frying pan from his bag and put it on top of the furnance and start to cook the meat.
“Ugh.”
As she eat the meat sora feel a strong stench coming from it.
“Well, we only sprinkle it with salt, so it’s not much.”
“But the taste is the same as the beef right?”
As they said those thing, Sora can see both of them eat their meal with delight, even Anne seems like she’s having no problem eating it. Trying to hide her disgust towards the meat Sora decide to start a conversation.
“Are you guys always hunt here?”
“Yeah, usually there’s four of us but since Keith is sick we have to make do with just three.”
“Keith?”
“Ah… he’s a mage in our party.”
“A good one at that, he can seal Gremlin movement with his magic, while the rest of us going for kill.”
Dwane and Julius start to talk while Anne is still engrossed with her meat.
“Anyway lady, that’s a good sword you have, where did you get it?”
“Yeah, ordinary sword can’t cut the Gremlin scale that easily. But yours is cutting it like it cut paper.”
While both of the man eyes glued to the sword, Sora decide to give false information.
“I get it from the dungeon in the west.”
“I’m not gonna use it if I were you madam.”
“I feel an eerie feeling from it.”
Anne join in while her eyes is on the sword as if she despise it. And as their conversation went on they finish their meal with only Sora didn’t finish her meat, they start heading out to town.
