Chapter 335: CH.331 Sprite Purifying Mirror

“Please! Help my friend!” The red-head begged us.

“Calm.” Lua quickly told her, as she went to the girl’s side. “You are fine. What happened? Where is your friend?”

“We-We-We were returning to the surface. Then we were attacked by something we couldn’t harm.” The girl explained.

“The sprites.” I quickly realized. Maybe they can’t use magic so they can’t harm the sprites. Then again, her blades should be able to kill sprites if she puts any mana into them, so this could still be a trap. I went ahead and used our System link to tell Alice and Lua as much.

“We can save your friend.” I told the red-head. “Can you show us the way?”

“Wi-Will you really?”

“Yes. Let’s go.” I told her, while still keeping my guard up. This absolutely feels like a trap. But just in case it isn’t, better check it out.

We entered the area where the sprites should be, but just one area of this dungeon was quite large, so just because we were in the correct area, didn’t mean we could instantly spot what was happening.

The red-head then led us through the almost jungle-like vegetation of the dungeon towards where she had left her friend. On the way, Alice asked her more about the situation and she told us a bit about it.

Her name is Nel and she is a B-rank adventurer. She was on a quest in the dungeon, looking into something for some noble. She didn’t really go into detail, but we also didn’t ask. She probably couldn’t even talk about it, considering that she was working for a noble. 

They apparently couldn’t do what was asked of them and had to retreat, but on the way back to the surface, they ran into the sprites, which they didn’t know about, and because neither of them was that skilled in magic, they tried to retreat. But the sprites kept chasing them, so her friend decided to stay behind to try to buy this red-head time to either find help, or escape by herself. 

I have to say, if that is true, full respect to her friend. Not so much for this spoiled princess who cannot even use her magic blades.

“Agunan, Ria. You two take care of other monsters. Lua, Alice and I will deal with the sprites.” I quickly told my squad the battle plan. (Lua. You keep a close eye on that red-head. This might still be a trap.) I gave Lua a separate instruction, just in case this is what I think it might be.

As we kept going, Agunan and Ria did a good job at clearing the way for us. And I was ready to test out my new mirror.

 

After a bit more running, we began to hear some screams that came from a human, as well as some animalistic screeches. Why would there be animal screeches in a nature/plant based dungeon?

As we finally got through the brush and into a small clearing, I saw where both the screams and screeches were coming from. A group of three foxes was fighting against a dozen or so sprites. And when I say foxes, I mean two of them were literal foxes and one was a fox-folk girl. The fox-folk had purple-ish hair that faded into a more blue color. Her tail was the same, except that it had a perfectly white tip. Agewise, she seemed around the same as the red-head we ran into earlier, so in her early twenties. Her weapon of choice was a bow, though her quiver seemed empty, so she was stuck using it as a melee weapon. And hers wasn’t one that should be used as a melee weapon.

As for the two foxies, they seemed to be tamed monsters. They were iron foxes, a C-rank monster. They had quite tough hide and they were reasonably fast, but were considered weak compared to other C-rank fox monsters, which had a much higher attack stat. They also couldn’t use any magic, which some of the other C-rank foxes could do, so they were about as useless against sprites as … a handgun against a tank? That comparison didn’t make any sense. I should have said a handgun against a ghost or something like that.

 

Well, to each their own. They must have just not been prepared to handle these sprites, as they are something that doesn’t usually appear in this dungeon, so they must have not been prepared for sprites. And against everything that does appear, a pair of iron foxes isn’t that bad. They can tank hits from plant monsters quite well, so they are a good bait to take the monsters attention.

 

Anyway, back to what we are supposed to do.

“Agunan, I’ll use you as bait.”

“As you wish, Master.” Agunan agreed, so I activated a card.

“Raregold Armor.”
