Second World Chapter 129

Jack promptly casted the two spells in his arsenal and then continued with standard range attacks after it, while his right hand never stopped slashing. In this way, he practically doubled his damage output.
Jeanny was busy fighting against the Giant Ants that were coming at her, so she was not aware of the change in Jack's fighting style at first. But the light from the Mana Bullet and Energy Bolts eventually caught her attention and made her look.
When she finally registered Jack was fighting with both a sword and a magic staff, she was first confused. Then she saw him shooting range attacks from his staff. When Jack casted Mana Bullet again, she completely froze. She was awoken from her daze after one of the Giant Ants fighting her bit into her leg. The pain told her that she was not dreaming. She immediately stabbed the Giant Ant that had bit her.
But she could not help to keep on glancing at Jack, trying to make sure that she did not see it wrong. This made her having difficulty in fighting the Giant Ants. However, no matter how many times she saw it, Jack was still casting spells.
Was him a Magician that pretending to be a Fighter? That's not possible, she clearly remembered that he had also used Fighter's skills. In addition, a Magician could not equip anything apart from Cloth Armor. Their guild Magicians had tried it. They were able to put on the light armor onto their body, but it did not register as them equipping it. The defense stats stayed as if they were not wearing anything. Hence, if a Magician was wearing anything other than Cloth Armor, the armor would just become a mere decoration.
But Jack clearly had high defense from his medium armors, otherwise, he would not be able to last so long in the middle of that Giant Ants swarm.
Jeanny had the urge to ask him questions, but she was aware that now was not the time. They needed to settle their current situation first. Motivated by the urge to quickly eradicate these Giant Ants so she could start asking him questions, she redoubled her combat pace. She stabbed while sidestepping to keep herself in a safe distance from her enemies, a distance where her spear could reach them while they could not reach her.

Jack also changed his strategy, he no longer trying to compete with the swarm using his defense advantage. After he cut through a way out from the swarm's siege, he also utilized his advantage in speed. He ran around while blasting the Giant Ants with spells and range attacks, and slashed at those that came near. But he still maintained his position within the heart of the swarm, hence not many of the Giant Ants would divert their attention to Jeanny.
After killing innumerable Giant Ants, another Giant Armored Beetle appeared. It noticed Jeanny at first and was about to approached her, but Jack used Sword of Light at it. The crescent light sliced through a group of Giant Ants that was in the way, before it hit the Giant Beetle. Many of the Giant Ants received critical damages. The Giant Armored Beetle turned its attention to Jack after it was hit.
Jack did not stop there, he followed up with a Charge, mowing through the same group of Giant Ants before crashing onto the Giant Beetle. Before the Beetle could react, he swinged his sword from underneath, executing Power Strike in an uppercut motion. The heavy Giant Beetle was smashed flying to the air and flipped around then crashing back to the ground on its back.
The Giant Beetle was now powerless as its appendages dangled in the air helplessly. It could not turn itself back. Jack was surprised, it could be done in this way? He was actually just fighting with instinct, he didn't realize he had found out the Giant Beetle's weakness with his daring move just now.
Not letting the opportunity passed, he slashed at the helpless Beetle while ignoring the other Giant Ants' attacks. He had also found out that the belly of the Giant Beetle was less armored and thus it suffered more damages compared to when it was in upright position.
Jeanny who had witnessed it was awestruck by it. She had spent much energy and time to kill just one Giant Armored Beetle, but now he saw Jack was bullying it without it had the ability to fight back.

The swarm continued to dwindle. Jeanny had to drink two basic healing potions during the battle, while Jack only took one to relieve himself when his HP reached critical state.
There was another Giant Armored Beetle, but Jack took care of it easily since he had now known about its weakness. But this weakness could only be exploited by Jack at this stage due to his overpowering strength. Because if any other Fighters tried to use the same move, their Power Strike would at most lifted the Giant Beetle a few centimeters above ground, before it fell back to the ground as if nothing had happened.
After a long and ceaseless battle, Jack and Jeanny finally obliterated the swarm. They fell to the ground panting. There were many coins scattered around what was their battlefield a minute ago. Some had even dropped items. They ignored the drops and let themselves rested for a while. At the same time their Natural Body Recovery worked and replenished their lost HP.
"Did you just use Magician skills?" Jeanny finally had the chance to ask.
"Didn't you already see it?" Jack replied.
"B– but how? Aren't you a Fighter?"
Jack nodded, "I am, but I am also a Magician."
"You have two classes?" Jeanny eyes widened.
"I do."
"How is that possible?"
Jack shrugged, "I acquired a legendary item through luck in the Tutorial Period, it granted me a second class."
"Le– legendary item…?
"It was pure luck," Jack said, and then he stared at Jeanny and said seriously, "I would prefer no other people know about this. You are the first person to have known."
"Really?"
"Yes, so I hope you can keep it a secret. I would not have revealed my Magician class if it wasn't necessary just now, and if I don't think I can trust you. Now am I wrong to think that I can trust you?"
"I… All right, I won't tell anybody. You can trust me," Jeanny told him with an unflinching look.
Jack nodded, "thank you."
After catching their breath, they proceeded to pick up the drops. Jack split the spoils evenly. Jeanny demanded that Jack took the larger portion as most of the swarm was defeated by him, but he insisted on an even split. In the end Jeanny relented for the coins, but he insisted that Jack took all the items, which Jack complied.
The items were 2 common equipment he would dismantle, 1 boots which he stored for later combining using his Transformation Box, 2 iron ores, several cooking ingredients, and lots of Ant's Carapace which was the Giant Ant's trophy items. Combined with the ones he had collected since he started the dungeon, he had 72 of this Ant's Carapace.
By now, he had already completed his Hunting Quest for both Giant Ant and Giant Ant Warrior. In the swarm, there were also many Giant Ant Warriors in the mix, so Jack had also fulfilled his quota for that monster's hunting quest.
"Do you hear that?" After they defeated the swarm and finished collecting the loots, they no longer had anything in their mind, their senses now picked up on some hazy noises from afar.
Jeanny concentrated on her hearing. "It sounded like some people was having a battle," she said.
"It might be the rest of the team," Jack said.
"It came from here," Jeanny walked towards the direction where she thought the noise came from.
Jack followed. They came upon a crack on the wall. The opening was large enough for a person to fit through.
"I'll go first," Jack said, and then slipped himself through the opening.
