Chapter 110: RPG-like Leveling Training In Monster's Abode (12)
Alex's PoV:
Again?
Now I'm beginning to doubt the capabilities of these so-called summoned heroes that were supposed to be overpowered.
If they were the so-called summoned heroes, then why the heck do they needed me to act the hero in front of them and save them from the monsters?
Oh well... I might as well do some good deeds.
After all, that was one of the reasons why I chose this system.
The reason was to commit good acts while repenting for the wrongdoings that I had caused in my previous life.
The God Of the Worldly System had also encouraged me to become the host of this system to balance the evil acts that Axel had committed.
I'm not against Axel for him committing evil acts since I had already known what had caused him to have a psychopathic personality.
At least that Axel wasn't intentionally killing innocent beings and even if he did, it might because of an accident or a greater cause.
*Host, I don't mind that the host is reminiscing about his previous life but it's urgent to save the hero that is currently suffering at the hands of a monster.*
What's the current condition of the hero that was in danger?
"The hero that is currently in danger is covered with minor wounds but she might die in at least 30 minutes because of blood loss.*
The hero that the system had talked about that was supposed to be in danger wasn't even in danger at all!
He or she still had 30 minutes before she would die, unlike Distere and Ferros that were almost at the brink of death.
I might as well take my time to recover my mana and energy together with Distere and Ferros.
If I rushed to the hero that was in danger, my mana wouldn't be enough to get rid of the array that confused the sense of direction and destroys the protective array.
Even if I did successfully crossed over the other side of the protective array with the help of Distere and Ferros, I still wouldn't be able to defeat the monster that put the life of a heroin danger since our strength would be exhausted just by creating an entrance in the protective array.
The system, notify me when the hero that was in danger was 5 minutes before his or her death.
*Affirmative! The system will notify the host 23 minutes from now and will still notify the host if there will be an unprecedented danger that the hero had encountered.*
The system summoned a transparent blue screen beside me which showed a timer that was counting down every second that passed by.
The transparent blue screen with a timer was an indicator of when the hero that was in danger would die.
After knowing that I would be notified if something bad happened to the hero that was in danger, I took my time to recover my mana with Distere and Ferros.
********
Fourteen minutes had passed by and Distere and Ferros had already recovered their mana and energy.
On the other hand, I had only recovered half of my mana but it was still a significant amount compared to Distere and Ferros considering that I had a much larger mana capacity.
There were still 2 minutes left before the timer would alarm and notified me about the hero that was in danger.
But I still decided to deal with the problem sooner and tell Distere and Ferros about crossing over the other protective arrays to meet up with the other heroes.
Ferros decided that he would be the one to destroy the protective array while I would be the one who would deflect the array that messed up with our sense of direction.
I went ahead of Ferros and materialized a mana sword.
I wielded the mana sword to deflect the array's effect that messed up with our sense of direction which revealed the protective array.
Ferros went in front of me and channeled his destruction mana towards his right hand.
Before placing his right hand onto the protective array, he waited for Distere to be near us so that the three of us would be able to successfully cross over the protective array.
Distere went beside me and so our preparation was complete.
As I was deflecting the effects of the array, Ferros directed half of his mana into his right hand and aimed it towards the protective array.
Ferros placed his right hand that was covered in destruction mana onto the protective array.
The protective array slowly cracked after it came in contact with Ferros' right hand but Ferros' destruction magic was being neutralized by the repairing array which slowly mended the cracks on the protective array.
Ferros added more of his destruction mana into his right hand and punched his right hand towards the protective array.
The protective array received numerous cracks until a huge hole had appeared.
Distere and I decided to enter the huge hole since Distere and I had already confirmed that the huge hole that appeared after a protective array was destroyed was safe.
However, that did not stop them from being overly paranoid about his safety considering he had almost died at the hands of the forest slime king.
Ferros released his destruction mana towards the huge hole and manipulated it inside which he later confirmed was safe to use.
It wasn't surprising that Ferros, Distere, and I had been cautious about the huge hole until we later found out that it was safe for entry.
The three of us entered the huge hole at the same time so that none of the three of us would be separated since we were dealing with some unknown array here.
********
Ferros, Distere, and I stepped out of the huge hole and was transported towards another part of the forest.
I observed the surroundings and saw traces of battle which showed blood and the remains of a bear.
Multiple overgrown plants were pretty unusual if you ask me.
Not only that, there was an orange-haired girl with blue eyes in this forest and was currently manipulating thick vines and thorns.
The thick vines and thorns that she had manipulated were being used to slam and attack against the protective array.
It was a clever decision for her to attack the protective array without entering the range of the array that could mess with the sense of direction.
Distere might have also destroyed the protective array in the forest that he was trapped inside by attacking the end of the forest.
If I'm not mistaken, then the orange-haired girl must be Catherine Smith.
I had noticed that she was being mentored by a blonde elf that was known for her magic in manipulating nature and plants.
I had heard from the senior heroes that Axel had also taught Aerin about Biology which enlightened her and increased her understanding of nature and plants.
If Catherine Smith was a student of Aerin, then she should be able to have an immense understanding of plants.
That figures why she manipulated thick vines and plant to destroy the protective array.
I decided that Ferros, Distere, and I would help Catherine in destroying the protective array.
*Warning! Grace Nitoirl is currently in a bad condition and if her wounds were left untreated, then she would die in about 5 minutes due to blood loss.*
That was also one of the reasons why I decided to bring along Catherine with us and helped her destroy the protective array.
It seemed that I had no time to waste anymore since Grace Nitril or whoever she was would die 5 minutes from now.
"Distere, help Catherine Smith in destroying the protective array because we are going to another part of the forest. We are going to gather all of the summoned heroes."
Distere nodded after I gave my command to him and he quickly sprinted towards Catherine and told her about my plan.
I saw Catherine nodded after Distere told her about my plan which should mean that she had agreed with my plan.
Distere went in front of Catherine and faced off against the array that messed up the sense of direction.
Distere controlled the flow of mana around the surroundings and cut off the flow of mana that activated the array's effect.
Distere's action revealed the protective array which enables Catherine to attack the protective array by whipping the thick vines and thorns that she had manipulated towards the protective array.
The protective array is shown small cracks when Catherine attacked it continuously until it finally broke.
"I have done my part. I hope you don't mind me joining your group temporarily."
Catherine spoke to me and I replied to her with a simple "I don't mind.".
Ferros, Distere, Catherine, and I entered the hole that appeared on the protective array at the same time.
********
The four of us stepped out of the huge hole after we arrived at the other side of the forest.
After arriving there, I witnessed a blue-haired girl that was covered in several minor wounds and few major wounds battled against a floating green-colored humanoid.
