Chapter 130: Raiding the Mountain Monkey\'s Lair part 1

After scouting around the Mountain Monkey\'s Lair for quite some time, Kayn concluded that the map and the actual place isn\'t that far apart. There were still some changes, but it wasn\'t as drastic as the Hanging Vines Cave, thus any strategies that Friedrich and Chastine would come up with wouldn\'t be affected.

During his scouting, he had slain a few Mountain Monkeys, which finally allowed him to increase his level to 23.

The additional 5 Stats Points he received instantly made him feel ecstatic.

Honestly, Stats Points received in each level up would vary from one person to another depending on how they have gained their experiences. If they faced difficult and stronger enemies, then they would be receiving more Stats Points compared to those individuals who simply fought against more but weak enemies.

In his previous level-up, he had simply received 1 or 2 Stats Points, which was why he was barely able to increase his Stats despite the fact that he took advantage of the Bonus Stats.

That was one of the reasons why he decided to save up some of his Stats Points so that he would be able to use them in case of emergency.

"Let\'s allocate 5 SP each to my strength and agility, then save up the remaining five for the future," Kayn muttered to himself.

In the next moment, his Status Window was updated.

All of a sudden, Kayn heard a familiar voice inside his mind. It wasn\'t the same robotic voice he once heard when he entered \'The Bridge\' for the first time and picked his main class. Instead, it was the voice he had heard the first time he entered the \'Tower\'.

[Congratulations! Because both your Strength stat and Agility stat have reached 25 points, you\'ve earned the Active Skill <<Outburst>>!]

[Outburst: Once activated, you will be able to exert 50% more than your original strength for as long as you want. In exchange, you will have 50% of your original strength temporarily taken away from you in the same length of time the skill was taking effect.]

This was the main reason why he allocated 5 SP to both his Strength stat and Agility stat.

<<Outburst>> would definitely be helpful for him if ever he faces situations similar to the event that took place in the Hanging Vines Cave where he had to make a sacrifice in order for Friedrich and the others to escape. Although he was still able to escape alive, things would have definitely played out differently if he had <<Outburst>> back then.

Moreover, if he combines <<Outburst>> and <<Sword Dance>> together, his ultimate attack would no doubt cause even more devastating effects.

The combination of those two would certainly play a huge role in the upcoming raid.

After strolling around the entrance for a few minutes, Friedrich and Chastine along with the others finally entered the Mountain Monkey\'s Lair.

"All of you finally decided to show up," Kayn uttered.

Friedrich scratched his head. "It took some time to finalize our plan,"

"Let\'s begin!"

Unlike the Hanging Vines Cave where there are countless vines hanging from the ceiling to the floor, the Mountain Monkey\'s Lair is an open field with some stalactites and stalagmites spread in certain specific places all over the cave.

All of a sudden.

"Fire!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril simultaneously shot fireballs at the ceiling.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In an instant, the nearby surrounding began shaking before a rain of stalactites started falling from the top.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Over the distance, countless Mountain Monkeys started running for their lives while doing their best to avoid the deadly stalactites falling in their direction.

Unfortunately, numerous Mountain Monkeys were still impaled by the stalactites, some were injured, while only a few were able to run away to a corner for safety.

Kayn smiled and asked. "Was this your plan all along?"

Friedrich puffed out his chest and replied. "That\'s right,"

"Very bright,"

It was a good idea to take advantage of the stalactites hanging up on the ceilings.

However, every action is bound with its own set of consequences.

As soon as the rain of stalactites ended, those Mountain Monkeys that were able to luckily get themselves far from any stalagmites instantly turned to look at Kayn and his party.

Without waiting for any signal, they charged in their direction, evidently wanting to shred them to pieces and avenge their fallen comrades.

"What\'s next?"

After witnessing the first method, Kayn now felt very intrigued about what Friedrich and Chastine had planned to do next.

"Guardians!"

Roshan and Carter swiftly came in front of everyone.

"Charge!"

<<Shield Dash>>

Whoosh!

Every Mountain Monkeys that blocked the way of Roshan and Carter were instantly sent flying to the side.

What followed soon after were a series of loud cries of pain echoing throughout the surroundings from a bunch of unlucky Mountain Monkeys that got impaled by the stalagmites that stood erected from the ground.

It wasn\'t over though.

Whoooosh!

Charles and Friedrich merged their sword wave together to create a long and wide-range attack to clear out a path for them to move forward.

As soon as a clear path was created, Friedrich immediately ordered everyone to quickly follow after him.

Roshan and Carter were the last two to follow behind the party as they had to make a small detour to catch up to them. It wasn\'t a problem though since the two of them are Guardians, thus mere Mountain Monkeys could barely deal any damage to them.

And to make sure that they are safe, Chastine and Cedrick immediately cast healing spells to heal their wounds.

"Buy us some time!" Friedrich quickly followed up.

Immediately, Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson separated from the party and went to face off against the incoming group of Mountain Monkeys.

It was quite strange since Assassins most of the time go for a sneak attack and not for a frontal assault.

"Agility," Kayn quickly understood. The Agility stat of Assassins could certainly go toe to toe with the Mountain Monkeys.

Now he finally understood the plan that Friedrich and Chastine had come up with.

The Mages are responsible for AOE attacks. But because they have a limited mana capacity, they couldn\'t always rely on powerful magic spells, thus they decided to take advantage of the surrounding area and only use those spells with less mana consumption.

Instead of being in charge of protecting the party, the Guardians replaced the position of the Knights. And because of their high Endurance plus extremely high defense, the party doesn\'t have to worry about their safety. Moreover, they have two Priests who are capable enough to instantly get them right back to full shape.

On the other hand, the Knights have replaced the position of the Guardians as they became in charge of finding a way to save the party from danger.

Lastly, the Assassins are responsible for buying time for the Active Skills they have just used. Also, they can delay and slowly dwindle down the number of Mountain Monkeys.

It was a perfect allocation of each of the different classes.

"It\'s about time,"

Just like what Kayn expected.

"Get back!" Friedrich gestures with his hand to Gilbert, Natasha, and Jackson to quickly get back to the formation.

Speed isn\'t a problem for Assassins. Hence, in just a single second, they arrived right in the center of their formation.

In the next moment.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril started shooting fireballs once again.

Only now did Kayn notice that the path Friedrich and Charles picked actually had stalactites hanging on the ceiling.

Another repetition of the previous attempt took place once more.

"Follow me!" Friedrich called out to everyone after he and Charles opened up another path to retreat.

Time continues to pass very quickly as Kayn and the others repeated the same plan over and over again, succeeding in each moment.

There were some accidents, but because Kayn doesn\'t have a proper position in Friedrich and Chastine\'s plan, he took charge of preventing any disruption to their plan. Simply put, he is the troubleshooter that cleans up every single variable and factor that might affect their party\'s momentum and rhythm.

Every time they retreated, they slowly got closer and closer to the entrance of the second floor. At the same time, they are clearing the entirety of the first floor with any Mountain Monkeys.

Eventually, the entrance of the second floor was finally on sight.

"Just a few more of our \'clean up\' strategy and we\'d finally be able to rest!" Friedrich encourages everyone.

With the anticipation of resting just around the corner, everyone instantly became full of energy and continued with their battle tactic.

Their eyes were no longer showing exhaustion but were instantly replaced with a burning desire and thirst for victory and the potential profit to be earned from clearing the entire first floor of the Mountain Monkey\'s Lair.

Brandishing his sword, Kayn slayed the last remaining Mountain Monkey. He then waves his arm to clean up the blood that drenched his Molten Ice Sword.
