Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

The group had quite a bit of fun with the rain spell. After the girls were clean, they washed Vance. Then got sweaty again, which resulted in needing to wash up once more. But now…. "Vance, did you need to go so hard? My hips hurt!"

"Alice it is your fault for picking on him, of course, he was going to go harder on you than me." Sally wrapped her arms around Alice and patted her crotch with a teasing grin. "You never win against him since you always submit easily, so you will naturally get bullied."

"I do not want to hear that from someone who was just yelling, Harder! Harder!" Alice retorted as she tossed Sally's hands away. She turned around and hugged Sally while slapping her butt. "You also wouldn't leave me alone either. You have been getting much more handsy these days."

"It's because you are so cute when we both tease you." Vance cut in, giving both girls a kiss on the lips. "Get ready. We have to start making our way into the dungeon."

"Yes, Boss!" Alice yelled out while giving Vance a weird salute. Alice was finally free to be who she wanted to be, a strange girl who was in love with the boy in front of her.

"Vance, what should we expect in this dungeon?"  Sally asked. She wondered what kind of monsters they would be fighting.

"Ummm… We will be fighting Elite monsters. They will look like normal monsters but will have more health and will be much stronger, so do not underestimate anything you come across, even if it looks like a weak slime." Vance then began giving a rundown on the first floor monsters. "The first floor will have many cave type monsters. Batgoons and snakegoons to start, but once we get a bit deeper onto the floor, we will need to be on the look out for the spidragoons."

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Did you just say spidragoons!? Nope!" Alice turned and was about to leave, but Vance pulled her back, causing her to flail about as she screamed: "No! I don't want to! I hate spidras! Leave me outside, Sally can go with you!"

Vance watched as Alice kicked and screamed while being held up in the air by him and chuckled. "Just stay close to me, and you will be fine. Plus, you are an archer, so you do not even need to get close to them like Sally, and I do."

"I am willing to switch Alice…." Sally also did not like spidragoons! They were creepy crawling insects!

"No! I am good! If I have to do this, then I will sit in the back." Alice shook her head back and forth while backing away and pulling her bow out.

"Alright. Don't worry. Spidragoons are actually quite easy to kill if you are quick enough. Sally, you just protect Alice. We do not want to get snuck up on." Vance did not dare tell them that the next five floors were filled with nothing but spirdragoons. He felt if he did, they would run away instantly. And then they would not get to level up quickly.

The two girls pursed their lips and were ready to go in a few minutes. Vance readied his sword, and with them following him, they moved past the threshold of the same room only to have a huge snakegoon head shoot towards them, not even two steps in. Vance reacted quickly and tossed a fireball out to stop the snakegoon in its tracks. The snakegoon cried out in pain and did not dare to attack again so quickly. It eyed Vance, then the two behind him, and seemed to come to a decision. It darted to the side and went for the two girls behind him!

Vance had expected this. Some elite monsters were smarter than normal monsters and would not always attack the person who was doing the highest damage but the one who looked the weakest in the group.

"Minor Taunt!" Vance yelled out, causing the snakegoon to halt in its tracks and turn towards Vance once more. It seemed to be trying to fight against the spell on it, but in the end, the taunt won out, and it changed its target back to Vance once again.

Seeing he had a strong aggro on the snakegoon, Vance finally gave the order to attack: "I got aggro attack!"

The girls had been waiting for these words. While Sally rushed forward, Alice drew an arrow and placed it on her bow before pulling it back and letting it fly. Just as the arrow struck the snakegoon, the arrow speared into the side of its head, causing it to cry out once more in pain. Sally arrived soon after doing a crosscut with her daggers to the underbelly of the snake. Vance was already in the air and waved his hand, sending another fireball into the snakegoon's face to block its vision as he stabbed down with his sword stabbing in it the eye and into its brain. A critical hit! The snakegoons health quickly dropped, and within a few minutes, the elite snakegoon's body disappeared into balls of light, dropping a few items on the ground.

"Oh, not bad. 300 experience for the one snake." Vance was glad the cut was not as bad as he thought it would be. If he was remembering correctly, he would have gotten almost 700 experience from the one snakegoon solo. This meant he was getting a little less than half, which was not so bad since the monsters would die faster. He would have had to spend more time at this level killing a snakegoon, so he was very happy with the results.

The only thing he did not get was why a snakegoon was so close to the entrance. Normally it would be the weaker batgoons. The snake goon was a middle grade monster on this floor, so it should have been further in.

"Vance, what's wrong?" Sally asked when she saw Vance seemingly in deep thought.
