Cosmic Peak

' It looks like the people on the surface are arguing about descending in this hole. ' Thought Aren.

Aren frowned and thought, ' If they come down, they will definitely take spirit water. It looks like I can only block this passage. '

He hurriedly walked back, drank some spirit water, and rushed towards the near of the passage again.

But then, he heard the angry voice of Luna, " Humph, You dimwits. Go away. I will go down on my own. "

" Sigh...Alright, We are going outside since we have finished our quest. But be careful, Luna. We will be waiting for you. " The girl named Sophia spoke with a sigh.

Luna gritted her teeth in anger and sadness before taking out her daggers and started to descend using them, ' Finally, good riddance. Humph, we won't meet again. '

....Half a minute ago.

On the surface...

Two girls and two boys are standing a meter away from the hall.

The two girls are Sophia and Luna. Sophia is very beautiful and gorgeous; She has short blonde hair, white skin, and light green eyes.

On the other hand, Luna had messy black hair and wore a full-body, thick dress. Her face was not completely visible due to her hair. She also wore glasses before coming here, but her eyesight got better after adding points on the constitution, so she threw them away.

The other two boys were Jacob and Yuhan. They looked 18-19 years old, and Yuhan had a naturally deep voice that didn't match his age.

Four of them were classmates, but Sophia was the leader of the group. The two boys were head over heels for her since she was very beautiful, unlike Luna.

The other two boys with her also left and disappeared, leaving Luna in anger as she stomped her foot. Some tears appeared in her eyes, but she held back.

She knew that they were using her because of her skills but now no more, ' I will not meet you three again—you selfish scums. '

She has decided not to team up with them anymore. At first, she was happy because they accepted an orphan like her in the team, but today, she was almost close to dying, and they even hesitated to save her from a vicious tiger boss monster. Fortunately, She was saved because of the unique skill she got from pandora's box called <Scare> and managed to scare the giant tiger away.

At first, she thought that such skill would not work on the vicious giant tiger because it didn't work on the ordinary vicious beast, but she gambled, and it worked.

She then took out two daggers from her inventory, and using them, she started to descend.

Aren was going to release < Wind Slash > to block the passage but hearing their conversation, He walked a bit front before looking upward and saw that a girl was descending using her daggers.

But just then, he saw that the girl lost control as one of her daggers lost the grip on the wall.

"Aaa..." A short scream was released from her before she shut her mouth and gritted her teeth. She tried to use her left hand's dagger to stuck on the wall again, but before she could do that, her right hand's dagger also lost grip, and she fell down while screaming.

*Thud...*

*ouch...*

Luna cried in pain as he left leg was injured, and she also heard a crack in her left hand.

While falling, She had closed her eyes instinctively, but when she opened her eyes, She was startled to see someone standing in front of her.

" Hi. " Aren waved his right hand and grinned. He glanced at her daggers and was surprised because they didn't look like normal daggers.

Luna appeared a bit nervous and smiled, " H-hi. I am Luna. " After saying this, she glanced behind Aren and appeared a bit excited to see the passage, ' I knew that there was something in this hole. '

" You can call me Aren. Umm...It looks like you had some rough experiences with your team. "

Luna appeared angry at the thought of them and gritted her teeth, " Don't mention them. I will not meet them again. "

Internally, she self-deprecatingly smiled and thought, ' After using me to clear path and get that stock of berries. Why would they need me? Sigh. But...I won't let them have all benefits.'

Aren raised his eyebrows and smiled, " Then how about joining my team? Anyway, you can take your time to think about it, for now, you should do something about your injuries. "

Luna nodded as she looked at her injured right leg and left hand before speaking, " This level of injury will heal if I consume two red berries. "

She took out two red berries from her inventory and ate them while glancing at Aren.

Aren was surprised to see her injuries healing as the flesh wound patched up visible to the naked eye.

He looked at Luna, who grinned at him and spoke, " Do you want these berries? I know where you can find them. "

Aren nodded and beamed before saying, " Before that, let's go inside. There's also something useful here, but I can't leave right now because I still have an unfinished quest. "

Luna stood up and dusted off her dress before asking in a curious voice, " Something useful? "

Aren nodded as both of them entered the cave by walking through the passage.

" That pond has spirit water, and it can recover our spirit energy. Since you can go outside, then bring here some bottles or barrels to store them. " Said Aren as he pointed at the pond.

He then looked at her and asked with a faint smile, " As for the berries..."

" Don't worry. After going to the surface, we will take berries; Humph, I won't let them have all the red berries. " Luna spoke with anger towards Sophia, Jacob, and Yuhan.

Aren nodded with a smile, " Fine. "

Luna nodded as she disappeared and appeared outside.

She appeared in the backyard right behind the school. After looking around she saw no one and snorted, " Waiting for me my ass. Sophia, Jacob, Yuhan....Those red berries are what I found and even worked hard to clear the path, I won't let you have all of them. "
