Magandang Umaga, Lider.
One of the Tribal people said Good morning, Leader.
Magandang Umaga rin sa inyo.
The Tribe Leader responded Good morning to you as well, greeting the Tribal people that are also workers.
The Tribe Leader and Faro are currently going around the morning after a few hours have passed after the Tribe Leader took Faro to his resting house; the two of them woke up earlier because the two of them can’t sleep because they’re worried about Suzy, so they decided to go around the Angus Tribe before sunrise.
Do you do this every morning, Leader?
Faro asked the Tribe Leader.
I do, actually, I didn’t even know I need to do this about 3 weeks after I became the Leader, it is not only satisfying but also helpful for our people to know that I’m always cheering them on, I am even from the start, just, at the start, I don’t know how to.
The Tribe Leader told Faro as she greets more of the Tribal People while walking around the Tribe.
I guess as a Tribe’s leader, you don’t have a lot of complicated work compared to a Country leader, I think the closest I know that is the same is a Village head, who needs to worry not just about issues outside the Village that pertains to the culture they follow, or internal issues, which is a lot.
Faro responded to the Tribe Leader’s answer.
He saw the Tribe Leader talking to the Tribal People and watched them interact, he notices that the Tribe Leader would rather listen to their words than her talking and responding to them and giving them care to listen.
The Tribe Leader does this in a counselor’s way, by going around in the morning and listening to what the Tribal people want to say especially since they’re talking to the literal Leader of the Tribe.
The two of them then continued their walk around the Angus Tribe.
So you’re a Counselor kind of Leader, then?
Faro asked her.
What is a Counselor, Faro my boy?
The Tribe Leader asked him first.
Hmm? I guess that’s a Country term, you listen more than giving answers, you just give answers after the speaker has given his, or her, state of mind to you, I think that’s easier since you can use what he said and give him advice and help based on what he said, though a Counselor takes about 3 or 4 years to learn, they say.
Faro explained to the Tribe Leader about what the Counselor does.
That’s interesting, I guess I’ve learned that skill long ago since I’ve been doing this for 26 years now, though I know you need to have a proper paper on that kind of skillset, so I think I’m an unofficial Counselor.
The Tribe Leader answered Faro’s question earlier.
Unofficial, I guess that makes sense because this is a tribe and not a Village nor a Country, anyway, I hope Suzy returns soon.
Faro thought as he wishes for Suzy’s quick return.
| Trials Dungeon, Angus Tribe |
Suzy is confronting the Golem Guard that is defending the Reinforcing Orb, she has already finished the Dungeon, and she just needs to defeat the Guard with nothing but her sword and her sword skill because her powers to control her weapons were disabled in the final room.
I don’t know how long it will take me to put this down, but I will, I don’t know if this is the one that disabled my powers, but I will have to try, let’s do this the old way.
Suzy thought as her fighting stance was ready to fight the Golem Guard.
She then started with the Golem’s leg, the Golem Guard was so confused since Suzy is currently using her speed to her advantage, well, she has nothing so if she doesn’t, then she will definitely get crushed by the Golem Guard.
But because Suzy has fought a Golem before, with her powers, she knows the weakness of a Golem and how to defeat them.
Suzy was flung around even though she’s able to hit the Golem Guard, she isn’t fast when she can hit her sword at it, the sword is sometimes stuck on the Golem’s body, and that sometimes have to happen.
Suzy isn’t perfect.
That hurts like hell!
Suzy shouted after she was launched to the wall.
She then returned to fighting before she gets rammed by the Golem Guard.
After taking about several minutes, almost an hour, fighting the Golem Guard, it got easy for her when its legs collapsed and she can relax without the Golem running after her.
You know… you’re pretty stubborn, I know you can’t get to me after I removed your legs now, so I’m just going to rest here, I don’t know how you messed up my powers, but I assume it will return once I killed you, I will, but I can’t keep doing this without a little rest, so let’s just do that.
Suzy said as she sits down on the stairs that leads to the Reinforcing Orb.
I know for a fact that the Leader won’t approve of a Dungeon that can remove your powers, so I’m sure mine will be back.
Suzy thought she then took out the book of the Trials Dungeon.
She then continued reading the book, specifically the final level, where she is currently.
Oh, so his weakness is removing the item that’s placed behind me, I would’ve never thought of that, I’m not experienced in dungeons so I don’t know, I’m just lucky that the Leader gave me this book, and the source of my power getting disabled is above the room.
Suzy said to herself after reading the final level in the book.
She then stood up and looked over them; she then saw the crystal that’s in the middle of the chandelier, the final room’s light source.
I don’t know if I can throw my sword up there without my powers, but let’s try, this will also debunk whether or not my throwing skills are from my powers or my own abilities.
Suzy thought.
She then took her sword and threw it at the chandelier above, and sure enough, Suzy’s throwing skills came from her abilities without using her powers.
Her power to control the weapons are anchored on her ability to use them, and since she has mastered all the weapons that she possesses now, she can control them easily by her will, and sending them to the enemies using her powers is also anchored by her ability to throw those weapons as well, she has mastered that long before she even realizes it.
This is caused by the one that helped them improve, he gave them the subconscious ability to know how to master their abilities and powers, even how to integrate them between one another.
She then caught the sword she sent to break the chandelier, though she doesn’t need to since it landed on her hand after her powers were returned.
That’s easy, I don’t know how I mastered throwing without my abilities, but that worked out perfectly, now, you need to die, I have no use for you staying alive, though I just remembered that your life form is basically connected to the item behind me, so I should secure that first since I’m guessing that’s the Reinforcing Orb.
Suzy said to herself after getting her powers back.
She then headed to the Reinforcing Orb, but little did she know is that there is the Rad Tribe that is already there.
Go!
The Rad Leader initiated.
*BOOM*
An explosion then went off after she reached the area where the Reinforcing Orb is contained, Suzy was concussed after getting hit by an explosion and some of the debris hit her head.
What…
Suzy thought, she tried to speak here but she couldn’t speak it.
| Rad Tribe, Zao Thesis |
Where are the Miners!? That woman is already at the end of the dungeon.
The Leaders asked for the Rad Miners.
They’re here, Leader.
The Rad Miners then entered.
Are we using explosive or mine it manually, Leader?
One of the Miners asked the Leader since they thought he will just have them mine manually.
Mine manually first, I will tell you when you need to use explosives; we can’t waste them now that our resources are quite scarce these days.
The Rad Leader answered the Rad Miner’s question.
They then went on with mining the walls of the Dungeon manually; the reason why is that manual mining is far quitter since they’ve developed their hammers to be quieter than any normal hammer that an average smith forges.
The Rad Tribe then didn’t expect Suzy to be able to disable and destroy the Golem Guard in just minutes.
Did she just destroy that Golem already!? Miners! Ready your bombs now!
The Rad Leader ordered the Miners.
Yes, Leader!
The Rad Leader was shocked by this after seeing it happen that he went to where the Miners will use the explosives.
Leader, step back, we will now activate the bombs.
Get it started.
The Rad Leader responded as he moved away after the Miners told him.
The Miners then activated the explosion after they conjured up their shields, though they only used a physical shield since they don’t have any magic shields due to scarce resources.
The Explosion then occurred…

*rumble*
What was that?
Faro asked the Angus Leader after hearing and feeling the explosion under Angus Tribe.
We should go! That’s not a natural earthquake!
The Angus Leader told him as she stands up from her chair.
They then rushed to the Trials Dungeon.
I don’t think we have any way to enter the Dungeon without entering the actual entry, and if we did, we will do the trials inside.
The Angus Leader told him as they rush to the Dungeon.
I think I have a way to reach her quickly, but I will be the only one that will get to her instantly, I gave her a ring that allows me to teleport by her side.
Faro told the Angus Leader.
Go, I will be right behind.
The Angus Leader told him to teleport by Suzy’s side.
Faro then teleported to Suzy’s side while the Angus Leader heads inside the Dungeon, although she said that they have to go through the Trials Dungeon, she has been in the Dungeon many times now that she can breeze through the Trials in just seconds.
| Trials Dungeon, Zao Thesis |
What happened?
Suzy asked herself after getting hit by the explosion made by the Rad Tribe.
Get the item now! We will sell them to a rich market to replenish almost all of our resources, hurry up before they see us.
The Rad Tribe’s leader shouted, ordering the Hammer Masters that are with them.
So you’re all just thieves.
Faro asked them after teleporting next to Suzy.
Sht! Hurry!
The Rad Tribe’s leader shouted.
Faro then charged at them with his sword in his hand.
Get him!
The Hammer Masters then fought Faro after the Rad Tribe’s leader got the Reinforcing Orb.
Take this to the Tribe; I’ll help them kill that swordsman.
The Rad Tribe’s leader told one of his trusted men.
Faro is killing many of the Hammer Master after seeing them steal the Reinforcing Orb.
These guys must’ve been here a long time now to be able to react faster when Suzy entered the Dungeon and finish it.
Faro thought.
Faro then confronted the Rad Tribe’s leader, the Rad Leader immediately took advantage of the fact that he was fighting multiple of the Hammer Masters at once, and pushed him out of the way.
Of course, because his purpose is protecting Suzy and getting the Reinforcing Orb is just his second purpose, he immediately grabbed Suzy away with him when he was shoved away by the Rad Leader.
When they landed, obviously, he cushioned himself for Suzy.
Suzy, are you alright?!
Faro asked her.
I’m fine, what happened, who blew up the walls?
Suzy asked him after assuring her that she was fine.
I don’t know who they are, but it appears like they’re Hammer warriors.
Faro answered Suzy’s question as he assisted her in standing up.
Hammer warriors? Rad Tribe!
Suzy thought, she immediately knows who the attackers are.
Suzy! Faro! Are you alright?!
The Angus Leader shouted, asking them after she arrived at the final level’s room.
She’s faster than I thought.
Faro thought, surprised by how fast the Angus Leader arrived at the area.
Leader, it’s the Rad Tribe again.
Suzy told the Angus Leader.
Them again?!
The Angus Leader thought.
Seems like someone’s been doing some digging around here!
The Angus Leader shouted, telling the Rad Leader.
Of course, we can’t lose out on everything, we are on a scarce these days, I know you too, but we can’t afford that, really.
The Rad Leader responded.
You return that Reinforcing Orb or you will be in big trouble.
The Angus Leader demanded.
You will not just face this Tribe’s wrath, but mine as well.
Suzy told them, following the Angus Leader’s demands.
Why? Who are you anyway?
The Rad Tribe asked her.
You don’t want to find that out, give us the Reinforcing Orb and we’ll forget this happens, that’s all I’m demanding anyway.
Faro told him, demanding them as well.
I’m sorry, but we can’t, Miners.
The Rad Tribe said, declining their demands.
He then ordered the Miners above the Trials Dungeon to blow up everything.
*BOOM*
Suzy, Faro, and the Angus Leader were then crushed by the destroyed ceiling of the Dungeon.
