《A Dryflame Child's Life (Rewriting)》Work and Troubles-5
Advertisement
''Well,i'm fine''Was all he said.Really,who sleeps for 15 days?Is this even possible?But Ales already confirmed it so there is not much i can say.I take out his card and the main reward for the dungeon quest:3rd grade armor.Main quest's reward was 4th grade,but the Floor Master turned out to be a 7th rank,and a holy power user at that.Most of them are rare so guild increased the reward for boy.
''Here is your rewards.I also took back the quest for wolf furs,for safety.If you want,i can reassign you.''He looked like he was in thought then asked''Have you sent any other person to the dungeon?''Why is he asking that?''No,but if someone entered by themselves,we do not know''His face a bit looked relieved.
''I won't take any quests for now,thanks Big sis''He said.''Alright,take care of yourself''Then he turned back and left the guild.I don't know what happened at the quest,but he looks fine now,so it shouldn't be any problem.Whenever i see this boy,all i could do is sigh.
...
''I don't like the gods,but may Celeste take your soul to her paradise.''Grim said towards a stone tablet in the dungeon.There was no name or carving on it,just a simple word''Warrior''.He didn't take his armor when he came back,nor he still wants.It's already broken also it would be disrespectful to the man.He took his rapier though,he didn't want to turn back empty.
After he killed the man,he rushed back hurriedly from his fear that he didn't looked at the Estate.When he walked,his steps sounded more heavy because of the leather armor on him.It was the reward of the quest,and a good one for people at his rank.It was dyed blue and white.Spell-Crafted sword of him was at the sheath on his back.There was a belt around his waist,hanged on it were little pouches and vials.
As he entered the room,he looked around.There was a single bed,near to him a table only suitable for one person and a big chair,which was looking very comfy.There was no carpet on the ground,nor a Mana crystal to lighten the room.There were many Moonstones on the ceiling.These stones were always sparkling a little at the nights,so it was very suitable.There was a big window looking outside,but he was sure when he looked around from outside,there was nothing like it.
On the table,there were several books.Grim got closer to table and took a book,peeking inside it's contents.They were fairy stories for childs like:Great Dragon and Little Human,King of Happyland or Tooth seller Dwarf.The last one was the most feared among children,because it was not an epic story like Great Dragon and little Human,it was a horror story.It was about a Dwarf who always took bad kids and criminals Teeth when they were sleeping,then using their teeth to make accesssories for good childs.

He also read it,but it didn't affect him much.He loved King of Happyland most,as it was a story in a dreamlike country with a kind king.It not only told childs the importance of being nice,it also teached about how to rule a country or how to treat a person right.He last read it 9 years ago.
After feeling a bit nostalgia he put down the books and looked at the bed.It was still tidy but there was some dust on it because of not being cleaned for half a month.Right next to the bed,there was a big chest.He got near to it,and before opening used his sword to cut the top of it.There were some traps on chests most of the time,so before opening most people would inspect it,which Grim just responded by slashing it.
It was sliced cleanly,and there was nothing triggered so it was clear there was no trap.He pushed aside the top part of the chest and looked inside.In it was a old looking book,a little bear and a leather glove.He took them out and put them on the bed.He sit down and looked at the book.
It's title was''Cleansing''A strange name.He opened and looked inside.It's contents were strange too.He didn't understand any terms or things the man talked about,but it was clear he was working on a some type of pseudo-spell.He still failed at the end though,but this experiments of men could help some of the people working on spells.
Then he looked at the little bear.It was a bit old,but there was no damage on it.It was just like a thing a child would use.At the back of the bear,there was a sentence.''Must protect''He didn't understand who this belonged to,but it was clearly an important thing to the man so just cleaned it and put it on the bed.
Then he took the glove.On the fingertips,there were little spike like claws.From fingernails to the palm,small lines of red followed it and merged on a circle.It looked interesting so Grim put it on his left hand.The moment he put it,all spikes turned backside and stabbed his fingernails.
He was flustered and tried to take it out,but it didn't work.Claws took blood from his hand then transferred it to the lines,which then went to the circle at the center.Lines started to shine bright red then whole glove turned red.After half a minute,it was a deep red glove with blue lines on it.He tried once more,but couldn't take it off.
He just sighed at his carelessnes.As he was sighing,glove started to absorb mana from him at a slow speed.He didn't know it's origins nor it's use,but he wouldn't let it suck him dry,it couldn't do anyway.He also absorbed mana from outside to balance the mana amount,which solved the problem.

After he looked a little bit more,he took the book and left the room.This dungeon's upper floor was cleared,but still there was 2 more floor,but he didn't care about it.He have told Demi about it already,and there was no problem as long as Floor Master was gone.He just got out of the main door and left the dungeon,but sighed at the next moment''What did i do to invite this much trouble?''
There were 15 men in front of him.There was 2 man at the front,while the other 13 was at their back.Some of them had furs or feathers on them,while some of them had horns.One of the 2 man at the front was human,while the other one had a pig's face.
''Boy!you have a great courage to beat the man of our boss HUH!''Said the pig faced man.When he said beat,Grim remembered the 3 man he beated.So they had a boss?''Now,Now Get your ass down here!If we don't break a bone or two of yours it won't be fair!''Said pig man and licked his disgusting 'lips'.
''We made a bet,and they lost.There was nothing wrong with it.Now they want to go back on their words?''Said Grim.He remembered that old man said something about Senior-Junior bet.Pig man was a bit suprised.Was there a bet?Then did that Laun bastard lied to their boss?''What bet are you talking about lad?''
Before he got the answer,he got a punch from his side,and sweeped the floor with his face.The human at his side punched him viciously and just said''Just beat him already,he is probably trying to find a way to escape.Men,Go catch him!''
With the other one's order,all 13 rushed towards Grim while taking out their weapons.As they closed towards him,Grim didn't stand there and darted towards them,with much higher speed than before.With a step he appeared in front of a man and punched his chest,sending him flying.Man collided with one of his friends and knocked him down with himself.
The other man was suprised when he saw Grim's speed.'A 7th rank?That Laun guy lied?'Without giving them any time,Grim once more appeared at the center of crowd.He darted towards his right and kicked a man at his head,knocking him unconscious.Another man leaped on him at his back,but grim turned back and catched man's hand then slammed him down.
With a cracking sound,man broke some of his bones and spit a bit of blood.Others faltered a little,but when they thought about the 2 backing them,they continued attacking.Grim suddenly sidestepped and evaded an arrow.With another *Whoosh* sound a arrow flew towards him,but this time he took out his sword and cut it.He leaped over the crowd and directly darted towards the man.
Man threw 2 more arrows but when he saw it didn't have any effect on slowing him,he took out a small dagger and opened a vial from his belt,spilling it's contents on dagger.'If i can atleast cut him once,that will be enough'He smirked.He used an paralysis posion on his dagger,which the man said it could even make a bull freeze.
He was getting excited at the thought of the merits if he could defeat this man,he subconsciously licked his dagger,an old habit of his.The moment Grim came in front of him,he tried to stab towards him but realized he couldn't move.'FUCK'he screamed in his heart and took a punch to his face.
Man directly slammed to a tree at his back.With another leap,Grim jumped on the tree and started running.''He is escaping!Go!Go!Go!''Screamed Pig man,who just got up from the ground.He was very frustrated,but he couldn't do anything.This man could beat him in a fight after all.
...
With quick steps,Grim leaped from tree to tree like a monkey.He really liked the feeling of moving at high speeds,but he couldn't enjoy it because of the screams at his back.From what he understood this 10 men,originally 13,was all 8th or 9th rank.If they were alone,then he could beat them with no difficulty,but the problem arised here.
There were 2 men leading,probably both of them 7th rank.Worst possiblity one of them was 6th rank.Even though he steeled his heart,he still didn't want to kill unless it's neccessary.So he just chose to escape.Even if there was a 6th rank,he couldn't reach him because of this gap.
Also he had a cheat,his body.With a will,he created a surge of wind and increased his speed,leaving the crowd behind.Even though he chose chaos,he could still transform them,with difficulty.Also looks like he couldn't do a dual elemental attack until he was 5th rank,what a disappointment.He thought it would be really cool to to a flaming tornado or balls of Holy water.
While thinking to himself,he already reached where his beloved horse was,and directly leaped on it.The moment he sit on it he started to rush towards city.Even if he was fast and could replenish his mana,he didn't have a inexhaustable body,he was still a human.He had to rest as well.The last reason was he didn't want to leave his horse behind.
After like an hour or two,when city was already near to him,Grim had to stop.Why?Because of the big group closing the path in front of him.Grim,once more,sighed in frustration.

"I thought you liked art," Percy grinned. Klaus kept his eyes on her lips. She bit her lip as she concentrated on her masterpiece.
