Achievement:Survivor in use, user is being healed the bare minimum required for survival.
Hilda immediately gets up, feeling a decent amount of pain from the injury even though her achievement reduces pain by 80 percent, immediately running away, teleporting and sprinting as Shila tries to keep up, being pulled by the invisible barrier due to being too far from Hilda.
Shila! Debuff them or something! Hilda talks to Shila in her head using their connection due to her voice not being able to reach far enough to Shila.
I know!
Shila uses her debuff and tries using her field magic on Hilda but can't due to how far she is, so she uses field magic to slow down attacks and leeches the opponent, barely dodging some hits.
Dammit! She's just a level 120 plus, how is she even alive?!
Boss, it's probably due to the system she has.
Dammit, why didn't those stupid representatives of ours choose to be part of the whole tower to climb the floors, what a waste of a great opportunity! Keep chasing! She'll run out of mana eventually!
As they keep chasing, Hilda starts getting nervous as they start catching up quickly despite her still teleporting as far as she can without using all her mana at once.
Shila, hurry and come here!
Ok wait!
Shila goes back into the system, reappearing at Hilda's side as Hilda holds her in one arm as Shila uses her field magic to speed them up.
Shila! Hurry and activate my trait!
Yep, getting to it!
Notification.
trait "sis con" is active
Agility is being increased by double.
Trait "sis con" is being strained.
Warning:user will suffer recoil after deactivation.
Warning: trait "sis con" will be temporarily deactivated in 90 seconds if strained to that extent.
Hilda, I hope you have a plan, or else the recoil will really screw you over.
Yea, I'm confident I've got a plan, though whether or not it'll work or not is another problem.
Whatever is better than our current situation.
I agree.
Hilda starts back tracking her original path with the people trying to kill her on her back not being shaken off despite Hilda's increased stats but not getting any closer either.
Hilda, you might want to implement your plan soon!
Yea, getting to it!
Hilda keeps running, noticing a notification about her trait being deactivated in 30 seconds, causing her to use mana on her legs to speed herself up with her pursuers following behind, speeding up too.
Hilda, what's your— seriously?!
Got a better plan?
Nope, I'll shut it.
Hilda keeps running towards what Shila saw and her plan, a newly made giant web with all the leaping spiders on it.
As she gets closer, she uses enough sword qi and mana which is quite a bit to cut the web, angering all the leaping spiders as they pay attention to her.
Hey… isn't this going to backfire?
Why don't you be more optimistic?
Not much to “be optimistic” about right now.
That crazy bitch is planning to drag us down with her!
Boss, we should retreat!
Their boss contemplates for a moment, clenching his fist by his side in anger due to not being able to kill Hilda personally before signalling to retreat, looking back at Hilda who has no chance of survival according to his experiences.
As he starts looking back at the front to retreat, he notices more mana usage, shrugging it off as a last struggle but still looking back out of curiosity on what she can do left before noticing that Hilda had disappeared.
What?! Where did they go!
He looks around, finding Hilda in front of him with the spiders behind, chasing her.
Crap! She could still teleport! Hurry and retreat!
As her pursuers start retreating, they slowly get caught as the leaping spiders shoot webs at them, pulling them into their mouths, killing them in a single bite as Hilda evades easily due to her spatial magic and sixth sense.
Stolen novel; please report.
Hey Shila, aren't they about the same level? Why are they getting killed so easily?
The spiders have a species advantage, and only their boss is strong enough to actually run from them, the rest are dead.
Nice, could I beat their boss?
Potentially, but at your current state, just run.
Warning, recoil in 10 seconds.
Got it.
Hilda uses the rest of her mana, teleporting as far as she can.
Oh yea where's Jamine?
Oh, she got slashed in the first attack that would have killed you.
… Oh.
Hilda faints due to a lack of mana and her still existing injury as Shila sighs, pulling her to the wall and teleporting Jamine back out of the system.
Mom? Mom! Mom hurt!
Yes yes, your mother is hurt, so use your main body to protect her and create clones to help me, we have a bastard to kill.
Bastard? Jamine tilts her head curiosly, cresting 2 more clones to help Jamine and to replace the killed clones.
Nevermind, bad word, don't say it again, it's just the person who hurt your mom.
Bad man!
Yea, you can speak normally now but your vocabulary seems limited to a child's.
Lies!
Screw it, not important right now, let's go get the person who hurt your mom okay?
Ok! But aunt can't go far away?
Stop calling me aunt.
Then?
Idk, sis?
Is she your mom too?
I guess since I technically wouldn't be her without Hilda though a father is also essential for that purpose usually, and she didn't really give birth, but close enough?
… So sis?
… That sounds wrong now that you're saying it but sure.
I can technically go far from Hilda but it takes a… bypass which Hilda may not be too happy sbout.
Guide stupid! Mom important!
True.
Sorry for this Hilda. Shila goes to Hilda, buying a dagger for 300 points and stabbing Hilda's palm with it, but only being able to get a drip of blood to leak out as Shila licks it, disgusting and confusing Jamine.
Why hurt mom?
… I honestly don't want to explain this twice so let's go first, I'll tell you when Hilda wakes up.
Ok?
Shila brings Jamine towards the boss, and true to Shilas earlier estimation, the only one who lived.
I bought this skill without Hilda knowing but I didn't expect to use it like this.
Tracking(rare)
Tracks anybody you've made contact with, have some form of connection or gotten close enough to.
(Cost:500)
We are nearly there, prepare your trait, it's weaker for your clone right? By much?
More clones, weaker leech!
Nevermind, the guy should be hurt, this should suffice.
Ok!
As they reach,Jamine peeks out from the corner as a sword gets swung her direction with her dodging barely.
Guess he really is injured, if it was the normal swing, I would have been sent back to the system.
You two! You were with that fucking coward weren't you?! Come and die!
Jamine, don't learn from the bad man.
Ok.
Shila runs at the guy, dodging non-stop while using her debuff magic and leech while Jamine uses her leech, not avoiding due to being able to reclone herself and regenerate even if it does drain mana quickly to clone.
Cowards! Fight me properly!
Jamine, indulge his wishes.
Indulge?
You know what I mean.
Ok!
Jamine starts cloning beyond her limit of 20, getting dizzy and a slight headache as repercussions as she uses her clones to run at the man, disconnecting herself from the guy as she reaches while cloning more, taking advantage of her acidic body even if the acidity decreases after her consciousness disconnects.
The man tries struggling but fails to do so as Shila stops him, kicking him back in, leaving him to dissolve in Jamines body as he shouts in pain.
After a couple more minutes, Jamine pulls the guy out, dissolving his hand as her body that is still in control pulls him out.
Let's drag him back to Hilda now.
Ok, bring to mom!
Only reason we even succeeded was due to his injuries, the leaping spider's poison was probably weakening him, combined with the leech or your acidity wouldn't have been able to do much at all.
Real body!
Yea yea, if you use your real body you could injure him but not enough.
Hmph!
Seriously? I know you're faking this.
…
Fine, ignore me, if you help drag him back hell end up completely dissolved by the time we reach anyways.
Jamine disconnects her consciousness, leaving a transparent blueish blob at where her body was.
Seriously?
Shila sighs, dragging the guys body back to Hilda, thing him up and hanging him upside down with a pole and rope she biguth from the shop for another 1000 points in total to make sure he can't escape.
Jamine, thanks so much for the help.
I can tell sarcasm!
Deserve it.
Shila ignores Jamine as she pouts, lying beside Hilda, smirking mockingly at Jamine who can't decrease her acidity enough to make sure Jamine remains okay in her current state, and therefore not being able to lie on Hilda.
Shila keeps mocking Jamine as Hilda slowly wakes up, her body in pain and also sore due to the recoil as she looks down at Shila.
Hey, stop bullying her.
Hilda, I helped catch that guy! Side with me instead!
I helped mom too!
Could you two stop arguing? I'm in just a slight but of pain here.
Fine.
Sorry mom.
Hilda goes to the shop, buying new clothes due to her current one having a massive hole in it now as she stands up despite being sore, preparing to change.
As she looks over, she notices Shila and Jamine watching her impatiently, wanting her to react properly to the guy hanging upside down.
Hey, look away.
Why? We're both just a younger you and connected, so we already know how you look naked though?
… I honestly have no clue how to respond to that, but look away.
Fine.
Shilasnd Jamine look away with Jamine not understanding the problem and Shila finding it to be a small insignificant issue.
As she changes for probably the first time since the tower, she walks up to the guy with Shila and Jamine looking back at her as she punches the guy, waking him up.
Hey! Wake the hell up.
The guy opens his eyes fulling, confused at the situation before noticing himself tied up, hanging upside down.
You piece of shit! Let me down! Fucking pussy!
You remind me of blue, completely fearless.
Huh? You're a woman?! Should have known since you only know how to run instead of fight.
Shila and Jamine both glare at him as he keeps insulting Hilda despite Jamine not understanding most of the vulgarities, but the tone being obvious it isn't friendly.
Hey Shila.
What?
I'll try something, tell me if it'll work.
Sure?
I haven't actually used this aspect of mental magic so far now that I think about it.
Hilda puts her hand in the guy's face after gagging him with a pacifier she bought for 20 points, filled with poison so he doesn't bite it to spit it out.
Honestly disturbing that the shop sells a pacifier filled with poison.
The shop sells anything for the right price.
Huh? Nice to know.
I felt like it was obvious when the shop has pills specifically to make sure you don't get your periods.
…
Hilda ignores what Shila said, turning back to the guy whose face she still has her hand in before using mental attack magic combined with obedience magic causing him to shout in pain.
After a couple minutes, the guy's shouting gets softer despite Hilda not reducing the mental attack magic, eventually reducing to complete silence as Hilda cuts off an arm of his with no reaction before letting him down the rope.
Hilda,you can be a bit cruel sometimes.
How so?
Obedience magic was made with the intention of using it on monsters…
So?
If this gets out, you'll be deemed a criminal on the 50th floor.
Why?
It goes against their teachings, the whole of the 50th floor is just some religious guys.
Oh, well, there's no one here to witness this so I'm okay.
You never know, some people may use certain magics.
Screw it, what's done is done.
And you! Give me any map you've got.
The guy passes her a map that he pulled out his inventory as she cuts his head off in one.
You could have taken his points and items too…
Oops? Jamine, dissolve him.
Ok!
Hilda opens the map, getting annoyed and surprised as she does so due to the fact that the map siws her location in real time along with all the mini bosses and the boss in the center of the maze, annoyed that the exit is basically opposite of her, requiring weeks to reach it.
This is gonna take quite a while.
Hilda, I caught him so—
So did I!
As I was saying, I basically helped you find the exit, so you better get me a good skill after this!
Fine, fine.
Shila teleports back into the system to take a break, bringing Jamine with her, leaving Hilda alone to reach the end by herself.
Seriously?
