"[Burn, asunder, torch now o' flame of Tobias creation, and burn he who transgresses Tobias]."(Tobi)

Walls of flames rose out of the ground, monsters scattering trying to escape a fiery death by flames, only to be met by a swift and precise arrow picking them off as they try to escape.

'Chazz, Naga approaching Tobi at twelve o' clock.'(Katie)-Telepathy

"Oh no he's not {Giant's Swing}, Hyaaah."(Chazz)

Activatings his {martial skill} Chazz stepped in between the Naga and Tobi, swinging his axe from way behind his back with two arms cleaving the Naga in two.

"I reckon he's no longer in commission; right pointy ears."(Chazz)

"You wasted a killer move on something other then the leader again. Your timing couldn't be more off Chazznick."(Tobi)

"Geeze, this is what I get for saving your runt arse."(Chazz)

'Katie have you spotted the Boss monster yet.'(Tobi)-Telepathy

'Negative the impact of the spell simply drove out the small fries no sign of... Wait hold a minute; confirmed contact, the spell has worked and it has slightly harmed the Boss be sure to be prepared its rising out of the Cave now.'(Katie)-Telepathy

"KRIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH, WHO DARES DISTURB MY DOMAIN?! I will feast on your limbs and make your entrails decorate my home. Who dares disturb I Sauteen Warchief of the Naga tribe 'Nymphes'."(Sauteen)

"I do."(???)

"And who are you measly human to dare and challenge me."(Sauteen)

"{LEEEERROOOOYY JENKINS}!!!"(Leeroy)

Jumping out of the top of the cave, using his personal enhancement Classified under the reckless charge martial skill, was Leeroy. He'd been waiting for all of the minion monsters to exit in hopes of ambushing the Boss which had worked exactly how he had wanted it to.

"Tch you dare harm me human, time to show you your place [Sirens song]."(Sauteen)

"Hmmmph {Leeroy Jenkins}, {Lion's Heart}, {Quick Slash}, {True Slash} *Coughs out some blood* 'It's alright this is nothing'. HYAAAH!!!"(Leeroy)

Resisting the spell of the naga Leeroy was ready to attack, the activation of {Quick Slash} enhanced his attack speed while {True Slash} ensured that the attack connected in case of illusions being casted. With his attacks launched Leeroy expected to wound the opponent only to be blocked by the nagas trident.

"Gyah *Coughs and gets slightly pushed back*Im-impossible to think that you could actually resist my [Sirens Song], no impossible this is IM-POOOSSSIBLE."(Sauteen)

With his words ending and anger welling up due to his spell being negated Sauteen began growing in size and his skin changed to a dark red tint. The trident that had been held in his two arms he now carried in one, his tail was the only thing that stayed the same size giving it a disproportionate look.

"Oh well you've turned uglier haven't you hehe."(Leeroy)

"YOU DARE! RRRAAAAHHH!"(Sauteen)

"[Burn, asunder, torch now o' flame of Tobias creation and burn he who transgresses Tobias].[strength be granted unto thee who wishes it]."(Tobi)

"Thanks for the save Tobes, I sure do love this spell of yours, makes me feel strong. Aaahhh why'd ya try an burn me man, uncool."

"Enough of this [Fist taken by the power of light which strikes the ground em.. Fuuuucccckkkk. My eye."(Sauteen)

'Listen up guy's I've picked off most of the minions, I'll handle suppression and support as always. So don't hold back on skills now you hear.'(Katie)-Telepathy

'Wait Katie not a good Idea to tell Leeroy that you know how he'll get.'(Tobi)

"Too late {Leeroy Jenkins}, {Quick Slash}, {Overdrive}, {Limit Breaker}, {Burst Blade}, {Adrenaline Rush}, {Muscle Inscrease}."(Leeroy)

Ripples formed in the ground were Leeroy stood, that was the pressure being exuded by his simple push of the ground to attack Sauteen, his body ripped with muscles, strength having grown a size or three it showed the amount of power he'd reached. As he appeared almost instantaneously in front of the naga it tried to block Leeroy's attack but failed because of the speed the adventurer possessed. With a clean slash the Naga was wounded all the way from his chest to his stomach, blood splurged out from the wound as Leeroy kicked Sauteen with the sole of his right foot sending him in the direction of Chazznick.

"Ugo, heading your way Chazz *Coughs out blood and kneels on one knee*Dammit."(Leeroy)

'Idiot, going around using so many Martial Skills at the same time and consecutively to make matters worse. Did you even really need to use them like that this isn't some C-class boss, it's a low tier B-class boss. Why'd you have to go and try to kill yourself idiot.'(Katie)-Telepathy

"Hehe, if I'd have to say anything it's probably because it's fun, hehe."(Leeroy)

'Idiot.'(Katie)

"Oi enough with the fighting and see me kill off this steroid pumped fish Tobi."(Chazz)

"Got it, [He who bears the heart of a warrior I grant unto thees weapon the element to show your burning soul]."(Tobi)

"Alright, now then {Dwarven Hand} , {Paragons Strength}, {Cleaver}. AAAAAAHYAAA."(Chazz)

As Tobias magic enchanted Chazz's Murmiir his martial skills began activating to deal a huge blow to Sauteen who at the same time was being penetrated by arrows courtesy of Katie.

"Damn you, [Water Sphere]."(Sauteen)

It activated a gelatinous shield of water around it that prevented Chazz, Katie, Tobi, and Leeroy from doing any damage to him and in that time it began casting a spell to heal itself.

"[O spirits of water that serve me, grant upon me the power of healing which saves lives.]"(Sauteen)

"Tobi you got any tricks up your sleeves because if not were gonna have a hell of a time fighting this thing."(Leeroy)

"Tobi has barely began mastering this spell but it's output should be enough to blast through that shield."(Tobi)

"Do It!"(Everyone)

"[O' grandness of the sky, the most powerful of angers ye who can striketh any who transgresses you, come down and punish Tobias's enemy, Thünder]."(Tobi)

With the uttering of the incantation, powerful magic began circulating through the sky, a shift in the wind occured and the sky blackened, Sauteen was to busy healing himself to move but he knew that something had happened, something incredibly powerful had just been conjured. The dark clouds blocked out the sun until only they could be seen in the sky, It began raining and later sound breaking echoes began resonating through the clouds, followed by a light falling down without a sound as it struck the ball of water Sauteen was incased in. It fell in less then a second and in a second the wind, sound, and force of its impact blasted the three teammates out of the proximity of the strike zone, this left them at about 15 feet away from their original position, Leeroy was the first to get up but the daze and whirring noise left in the ears after a huge shock had disoriented him causing him to stumble, he looked around to see a pale and unconscious Tobi, a confused Chazz swinging his axe around madly and Katie coming out of the treeline. She went over to Tobi first, taking out a flask containing a bluish green liquid and making him gulp some of it down despite being unconscious, following that some colour returned to Tobi. Chazz had stopped swinging and his eyes seemed to have light in them again showing he could see more clearly again. Seeing that his teammates had gained some sort of stability he went over to the strike zone to see if Tobi had managed to kill off the Naga, but to their dismay Sauteen was still standing although burned horribly with wounds all over his body the Naga had returned to it's original size and it was holding unto it's trident with everything it had.

"You dare, to think that mere Versias would bring me to this level of shame. What are your names Adventurers, I wish to know the names of my slayers so that I can pass on your legend in the Etherious Sea."(Sauteen)

"We are the 'Nor'drens', I am Leeroy Jenkins, the elf who struck you down Is Tobias Leaven, the one who fought you head on after me was Chazznick Troubadour, and the one who suppressed most of your magic was that girl Katie Molark. You fought well but sadly you are a threat to my kind so obviously you cannot live."(Leeroy)

"I would expect no less, I would do the same in your position Versian, here's to hoping you die a horrible death as the warrior you are."(Sauteen)

With Sauteens final words being spoken his body became lifelesss as his Trident fell to the ground, the naga remained standing up despite being dead. This act made Leeroy admire the strength that the monster showed up until the end even though he'd been bombarded with the attacks of all of the teams stongest attacks, martials skills, and magic, he withstood until the very end to hear the name of his vanquishers, he truly was the image of strength that Leeroy was aspiring for.

'Even though he was a hybrid of a mage and a warrior his pure strength surpassed the reason of mage logic maybe true strength not only lies in the fate of a warrior but in the combinations of different skill sets like Sauteem. *This where his thoughts as he picked up the Trident that the naga had dropped*.'(Leeroy)

---------------------------------------------------------

"Woooooooohhooooo, Aaaaaaahhhh,YA YA YA YA YA, RAAAAAAAAAAAAA *Cheers continued through the room*."(Adventurers)

"Alright, alright let's settle down now as of now we officially have a new team capable of hunting down B-class monsters a feat that none of you pansies has been capable of achieving in over 2 years. So everyone three cheers to the 'Nor'drens'."(Timberland)

Cheers rang out through the crowd of young adventurers. Songs of praise were rising out through them, ale and food was being served by the counter attendants with happy smiles on their faces, everyone who was present was sharing in the joy of the mood the guildmaster was congratulating all of the four adventurers and they themselves went on to mingle with the crowd. Everyone present knew that the feats they had just accomplished as a team was not easy, slaying a Naga chief is an upper C-class quest due to the magical and physical prowess of the naga race, all who are known to be sorts of mystics. Even more so, when the slaying was of an intelligent B-class ranked Boss Naga. Sauteen had been deemed a danger by all of the current members of Florent Kingdom Adventurers Guild, however because of the low amount of C and B-Class adventurers in the region the monster had been left aside until a capable team was in the area. The reason as to why the guild masters did not take care of it personally is because the responsibility of the guild masters is to be an advisor and guide to all other adventurers, it's a position held by the strongest adventurer in a city that is in the midst of retiring or has had enough of unimportant monster hunts outside the city, and despite the Guild not being involved in the politics of a nation the mobilization of a guild Leader is known as a military move since they are the representatives of the Adventurers in each city as well as the strongest military force in it. Due to such circumstances moving around freely is limited to inside the City only. That is why the task was left up to the group of four as one of the only C-class adventurers in the area.

"Ya hahahaha, that's right test yourself against me ya weaklings yaaaaaaaaar *Arm wrestling against another adventurer, until the adventurer becomes red and faints*, yah haha that's right whose next."(Chazz)

A line of challengers was forming in hopes of taking down the brutish Dwarf who was drinking ale as well as poising his arm, ready for the next challenger.

"And there Tobi was, all our attacks were useless against the shield of the mighty beast, so, running low on strength and mana Tobi did as reckless a move as any and chanted the spell for Thünder, the thought of succeeding in activating it were not in Tobi's mind, but it was something Tobi should at least try if it could help us win. And so Tobi casted his spell and an unbelievable amount of mana and power surged through Tobi. As Tobi finished casting it Tobi felt all of Tobi's strength leave Tobi as if Tobi had a leak inside. Once Tobi came to Tobi was in awe, Tobi had managed to cast it and managed to slay the Naga after a hard and arduous battle. However were it not for Tobi's trusted friends, the beast would have managed to slip through and pierce through Tobi with his Trident. The true testament lies in the pure brawn of Tobi's companions who were able to compete in a contest of strength and accuracy against such a beast while overpowering it in terms of strength. Were it not for them Tobi would not have had the opportunity to activate such a spell."(Tobi)

Tobi was busy recounting the tales of the adventure and even previous ones, such as when they fought against an ogre Lord the first time after heading to the wastelands, or when they were tasked with finding the wereabouts of a young dragon only for it to turn out to be a lake serpent that had lived a long time and acquired magic. This were tales that he'd recounted many times and he would keep on doing until they were engraved in everyone's mind. Meanwhile Katie was busy advising everyone interested in hunting nagas, for their weak points as well as their habits, and foods they like to eat. The only one who was simply standing back and watching was Leeroy himself.

He was smiling on the outside to keep everyone from asking if there was a problem, yet inside he felt something creep up, something that with his current mindset he could not accept. Jealousy, it was slowly creeping up at him, previously whenever the team was in trouble or there was a situation that required more strength then he could always pull through saving everyone and resolving everything, but back there, it happened for the first time, Tobi actually surpassed him in terms of power. He'd managed to kill an enemy they were all fighting together while having problems, and he did it in one shot. Questions kept on rising from himself, had he chosen the correct route to become powerful, was he truly strong when he could not even kill the beast himself? And that's when the guild master noticed him, through years of experience he could see through hypocrisy easily, after having to deal with so many nobles with political interests he needed the skill to survive when dealing with internal request from the royalty. So he went over to chat with the youth and invited him into his quarters. As they arrived Leeroy was shocked as different kinds of monster skins and head plates were mounted over the room, some he recognized while others were unknown to him which was a testament to the great adventurer that Timberland is. Inside the room Timberland took a bottle of Chapne whiskey which is and alcohol made from strong honey that is not recommended for those with weak constitution.

"Do you like Chapne? I got it about 10 year's ago after saving a colony of beastens that were trying to survive in the wildlands outside of their kingdom."(Timberland)

"Never had it before, master, but I bet it must be good."(Leeroy)

"And that it is. *he says as he serves cups for themselves*"(Timberland)

"I noticed before master but you've got quite the nice room here can't believe you even managed to hunt a Druaga weren't they extinct. And even a Kraken your on a whole other level."(Leeroy)

"Aye that's what happens when one goes adventuring through the world you see many things and if you're lucky like me you'll hunt, cook and skin'em. However I also learned many other thing like how to tell when someone is wearing a mask that he hates to have on, so tell me boy what is it that troubles you?"(Timberland)

"*Sighs* I see well I guess it isn't easy to hide things from someone as good as you. The truth is im jealous master. It's something new to me and I hate it, Tobi is my friend he saved my life as well as everyone else's and yet I can't help but hate the fact that he saved me. I've always been the one who protects everyone and pulls through at the end, always been the hero. But now Tobi has grown so much stronger then me that I can't keep up, I'm beginning to question whether I'll never be as strong as him."(Leeroy)

"I see so this is where it's coming from, you wish for more strength aside from that which was given to you. Your defeat and his win has inspired jealousy because of your wish to be strong however that is normal. The fact that you are jealous should be cast aside young one for that is only a bond that ties you to his height while he strives even further, you look to his back hoping to catch up, cast that thought aside, and after casting it aside train become as strong as you can and surpass him because catching up to another person should never be your goal, but being the strongest now that, that is a true goal."(Timberland)

"Is it that easy though how can I do that when all I can think about is how to surpass him alone?"(Leeroy)

"I like you Leeroy your a straight forward young lad so I'll help you, go to the forest lake of the pixie Ningen clan, they are located in the Forest of Chingen, find them and train near the waterfall it might take some time but until then you probably won't have anything in your mind aside from this."(Timberland)

"So this will help me become stronger then master?"(Leeroy)

"The waterfall near the lake will help you forget the jealousy wether or not you become strong depends on how you train afterwards and if the pixies decide to share some secrets with you."(Timberland)

"I see, thank you so much master you have been a great help."(Leeroy)

After that they simply chatted about their hunts and what they'd like to hunt for a while up until dawn was near and Leeroy had to leave. He went on home walking a little tipsy due to the Chapne but he knew he had a choice to make when he woke so he carried himself to arrive quickly at the inn were his team was staying at and slipped into his bed, little did he know who was there with him.
