The guide sends them to an arena, around the size of a soccer field if it were circular. The ground a weird hard black rock with small cracks in it with 3 entrances on each side big enough for a 10ft man to fit though, totaling up to 12. Each entrance with 2 oversized torches at the side along with a massive glowing purple gem in the middle.
Hilda sits up, taking her time to look around as she notices Blue's body on the ground, with the guide apparently not reviving him contrary to what Shila said.
Hilda stands up as Shila shows her a notification, Jamine going beside Hilda to read it curiously.
Notification.
Wave(1/5)
“5 waves, seriously?”
Hilda starts hearing foot steals coming out of every entrance at once, using mana to cover her eyes, enhancing her sight as she finds many Lizardmen running straight at towards the center.
All of them start backing up against the gem in the center, preparing their weapons and abilities as they prepare to defend.
Hilda sends a wave of sword qi at them as she moves closer to them, defending against 3 entrances by herself easily, slicing through them like butter.
“Damn, this is fun. Shila, Jamine, please remember to leach, I can't be doing all the work can I? I also do need mana incase for later, yes?”
“Ok!”
“Fine.”
Shila and Jamine both start using leech, causing some lizardmen to start dead easily.
“Wait, what the hell? Aren't they too weak?”
“No Hilda, your level is just too high compared to theirs since you massacred a whole city and bombed the dragons or wyverns.”
“Oh…”
A while later, she finally defeats them all, with herself still in perfect condition but some of the weaker ones a lot more worn out with slight injuries everywhere but people like orange, red, white, and her completely okay with everyone else mostly okay with a few small scratches and panting
Notification.
Wave(2/5)
“Already? Well, this'll be fun.”
Hilda looks around, expecting to hear footsteps again along with Shila but it doesn't come. It remains silent.
Hilda notices some weird notices and walks up to one of the doors after an extended period of time of nothing.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
“Hey Shila, can't you just tell me what it is?”
“Nope.”
Hilda sighs as she reaches one of the entrances, finding a seemingly infinitely long dark corridor, being too dark to see too far as she notices many slimes slowly bouncing out.
“What the hell…”
Hilda starts stabbing them one by one as they keep slowly coming out.
Half an hour later.
The slimes have finally started coming out properly, over taking most of the users in strength due to being oddly bouncy and toughness which makes sharp and blunt objects bounce away unless the person uses enough strength.
“This is fun!” Hilda says with Jamine agreeing and Shila sighing as Hilda uses a mental attack on every nearby slime and conversion magic. Not needing to risk a recoil to do her level advantage.
“Why is this so easy for you…” Shila complains under her breath but Hilda hears it.
“What's the problem? It's better for you if I get stronger isn't it?”
“Yeah, but it just feels like it's unfair.”
“Not surprised.”
“Whatever, when's the next wave gonna start?”
Notification.
Wave(3/5)
“Oh, what nice timing.”
Hilda lies down, not being bothered to wait properly this time as she immediately hears footsteps.
“Oh, this is bullshit…”
She stands up, and sees a group of 10 minotaurs exit each entrance, each being around level 190, not at Hilda's level but their numbers make them a problem.
“Dammit.”
Hilda rushes in, swinging a way of sword qi and mana, aiming to kill 3 in one go but only getting one as she finishes off the other two with her sword.
She uses teleportation magic to avoid their attacks, finishing off all 10 from an entrance after a while of teleporting as she looks around at the other people, finding that most of them are forced into defending instead of attacking.
Hilda starts interrupting, helping by using mental attacks on all of the minotaurs but not using conversion magic due to the more than possible potential recoil.
As she does so, White and Red managing to finish off the ones from their entrances easily as Orange finishes next with Hilda helping with two unattended entrances, defeating those easily with White's help.
After a while, Orange and red helping the others while White and Hilda both go to the front and finish them off.
After a while longer, they managed to defeat al the minotaurs with relatively minimal damage to them as they see another notification
Notification.
Wave (4/5)
Everybody suddenly feels massive vibrations coming from one entrance followed by loud footsteps causing them to turn in that direction which is directly in front of Hilda.
“Ah, what a joy… of course I'm the one who has to deal with this.”
Hilda prepares to fight as a Minotaur comes out. This one being about 3 times Hilda's height and being level 250 as she swings a weak wave of sword qi and mana at it just to test with, finding that it only succeeded in pissing it off without doing anything actual damage to it.
“Oops…?”
The minotaur kicks Hilda with her dodging by teleportation.
“Hey… big guy, would you mind to calm down?”
The minotaur roars loudly, swinging faster at Hilda.
“Hey, I think I pissed it off.”
“Yea.”
Hilda keeps teleporting out of the way as Jamine and Shila keep using leech on it, helping Hilda to reduce the rate of mana she's losing.
“Really about to run out of mana here buddy…”
Hilda teleports to the back of its neck, stabbing it as it cries in pain, shaking Hilda off as she pulls her sword off and continues attacking.
“Seriously? I stabbed the back of this guy's neck and he seems mostly okay?”
The minotaur suddenly roars in pain again as white starts spraying water at its injury with orange helping with her poison. Red and the rest are unable to help much despite trying.
“This is so bull! Why is it only me who gets targeted?!”
“Because.. you pissed it off first.”
“Yea mom!”
Jamine, clone yourself and slow it down!
“Ok!”
Jamine clones herself, hugging the minotaurs leg causing it to roar angrily. Kicking away Jamine's clones and ignoring the slight amount of pain.
“Mom! The thing the level uh… too big!”
“It's called too high.”
“Oh yea, level too high!”
“You always become forgetful when you use clones.”
“I don't! Just took hard to concentrate.”
“Fine, fine, just joking.”
As Hilda keeps this up her mana consumption starts reducing till she starts gaining more than she loses after a whole hour.
“At this rate, we'll be able to kill it!”
