Location: Kurai and Tyg's Camp
Back to back, Kurai and Tyg holds their ground against the numerous skeletons surrounding them
The two uses their swords to slice through the skeleton's defenses, but with each hit and each kill the two gets more exhausted
This is not just a regular battle where if you kill enough you win….no, this is a battle of attrition….two men against a whole skeleton army, a side that gets exhausted and a side that don't ….who do you think will win?
"Kurai, have you found a weakness yet?" asked Captain Tyg
"No, not yet" said Kurai "They're so weak, with only one strike their already dead or incapacitated"
"Though they are weak they do not tire" said Captain Tyg "We must find a way to break through them, if not we'll get engulf by them"
"Dammit!" said Kurai "We need a plan, fast"
[Might the system suggest the host for an idea]
("In this kind of situation, I'm all ears, what do you got for me system" said Kurai)
[Might the system suggest the host to use your newly obtained [Sonic Grenade] to not only destroy a huge number of them but also as a means to escape their encirclement]
("But i just got it, I might use it for later" said Kura)
[There is no other choice and also how will you use it later when you will be dead here in a couple of minutes due to exhaustion]
("...point taken, I'll do it" said Kurai)
Kurai opens his inventory and takes out a blue frag grenade
"Captain Tyg! I have a plan" said Kurai
"What is it?" said Captain Tyg before looking at Kurai and notices the blue frag grenade "What is that?"
"The plan, this is a bomb that'll incapacitate anyone in a 15 meter area in all directions" said Kurai "You'll be the bait, lure all the skeletons that you can lure towards me then I'll place this where I' standing, once i've placed it we must be at least 15 meters away from it, then we run like hell"
"Why am i the bait?" said Captain Tyg
"Because I'm holding our way out" said Kurai
"Fine" said Captain Tyg
"Racial Skill: Enhanced Speed!"
A blue aura surrounds Captain Tyg granting him a great speed boost, Captain Tyg runs towards the skeletons and successfully lured a huge amount of them towards Kurai while avoiding their attacks
"I've lured what i can, place your explosive now Kurai!" said Captain Tyg
Captain Tyg reaches Kurai's position then Kurai placed the Sonic grenade in their position and the two runs like hell away from it
The chasing skeletons reaches their initial position then one of them stepped on the Sonic grenade, the grenade glowed brightly in a cyan light then….
BOOM!!!
The Sonic grenade explodes and released a powerful sonic shockwave that annihilated every skeleton in a 15 meter area in all directions, bones and weaponry scatters in all areas
Kurai and Captain Tyg sits on the ground panting from exhaustion, looking at the scattered remains of the bones of the skeletons
"Damn….that's a very powerful weapon" said Captain Tyg "where did you get such a powerful weapon?"
"That's a secret" said Kurai
"You do remember that your still a prisoner right" said Captain Tyg "I could easily interrogate you myself"
"Temporary….I'm a temporary prisoner" said Kurai "I still have rights to own secrets or do you not"
"...Very well then" said Captain Tyg
[Dungeon Rift Floor 1: 55% Completed]
("Oh you can do that?, well that's pretty convenient" said Kurai "can you also check if there's a dungeon break in this rift?"
[Dungeon Rift Phenomena Detector: Dungeon Break
Floor Phenomena: Floor 5]
("A dungeon break in Floor 5?, How many floors does this dungeon rift have?" asked Kurai)
[This Dungeon Rift has 5 floors going down]
("It's not that bad i guess" said Kurai
"…..Wait a minute….if I remember i get rewards when i destroy anomalies, doesn't that mean I'll also get rewards when i clear this dungeon rift?")
[Correct host, except the host will only obtained the dungeon rift reward when the host clears the dungeon rift]
("Well that's a bummer" said Kurai annoyed of the fact that it'll take a long time for him to obtain his rewards)
[But there is an exception, in every floor there is a chance for the host to encounter and obtain items that give great power such as weapons, armor, magic potions, etc]
"Well I'll take it I guess" said Kurai
"What will you take?" said Captain Tyg in confusion
"Nothing, i was just talking to myself" said Kurai
"Hmm….Okay?" said Captain Tyg
