Chapter 31 Spider sword
Sandra was greatly annoyed at the fact that Xander and Harry didn't choose to go through the unexplored path.
She kind of felt bad that the two boys would die in this place. She kind of had eyes for out for Xander but he'll die eventually.
Since she found out that the game became real She was extremely scared. She always avoided monsters for fear of dying and always chose to play it safe.
She of all people, a game maniac and a skilled person with the sword was scared because she had something to live for. Everyone does.
She was extremely excited when the new game 'League of Guardians' came out. Since her father was the owner of the one of the best gaming technology companies in the world, she naturally used the best.
However, comfort was all in vain when the game didn't allow her to log out anymore. And what's worse, pain could be felt in the game so she tried to avoid that as possible.
As an only child, ever since she was little she has been always pampered and treated like a princess, she wasn't used to working hard for the things she had.
After the stupid game got reset she didn't have time to do anything as she got pulled out of her territory and lost consciousness. When she woke up she was in these catacombial caves filled with confusing pathways and dangerous creatures.
What's worse, the only two people she could relate with, her fellow human, followed a suicidal path to find an escape route.
"I don't need them." She scoffed.
She focused on the map and began extending a peculiar path with a charred bone as she has walked into unexplored grounds.
Sandra stopped in her tracks as she saw light coming from the end of the path she took and her eyes gleamed with happiness as she dropped the torch and ran towards it.
'I found it. I'll finally leave this place.'
Sandra stopped the moment she reached the end of the path that lead to where the light was. Her eyes widened and she didn't dare to take another step further.
What she was seeing... couldn't be said with words...
'I... I think I should go back. Th... this looks too dangerous.'
...
On the other path Xander and Harry were fighting off the level 10 to 25 monsters. They were large spiders the size of a car and they seemed endless.
Xander stretched his hand forward and blue flames shot out of them in a stream, burning the spider in front of him.
Harry wasn't anywhere around him, or was he?
The air vibrated as if something moved and the head of a spider creature was cleaved off of its body.
Xander smiled as he turned in Harry's direction.
"I told you, think of it as a game and you'll be fine. But try not to die." Xander blasted a spider duo that were coming towards him with his blue flame.
He was getting used to using the energy in him to cast his spells. The more he casted the spells the more he got used to it and it became easier for him.
He quickly casted a glance at Harry who just popped out of a wall and sliced one of the spiders necks.
'I wonder if he has to actually learn his skills.' He thought.
Xander had no weapon in hand so he had to use his fists to fight off the spiders that came too close. They were very scary with their six eyes that glowed red in the darkness.
The monster striked with it's legs which were as thick as a bamboo stem.
Xander couldn't help but think that the creatures could see in the dark since all of them attacked where he was despite the darkness.
'Must be because of they have been in this cave for long, the darkness has become a natural thing for them.'
– Cannot be upgraded.
– Costs 5 Mana points.]
This was a huge boost of Xander's power but he didn't feel nice taking away something that Harry got.
"Are you sure about this? It has a skill." He said, but he hoped Harry would still say no.
"It's fine. I can't use three swords. And besides short swords are for my class specifically, not long ones." Harry shrugged.
"Thanks." Xander said as he sheathed the sword. He was really grateful to Harry and he looked at his stats that went up.

After checking on his status he decided to upgrade his skill 'Revive and enslave' as he didn't know what level it will be to evolve and it won't have such a tight limit.
Xander and Harry made their way deeper into the tunnels. It was not so crowded with monsters like at the entrance of this path but a monster still showed up once in a while and was eventually killed by one of the two duo.
*pa!*
"Ah!"
Xander held his foot as he kicked a rock beneath him and he fell to the floor on his back.
"Are you okay?" Harry ran to his side with the torch but Xander just tapped his feet and soon the pain subsided and he was okay.
But what came next made him want to cry.
[You have kicked a rock. The second challenge has been triggered]
