Chapter 139

They had already arrived at the cave opening. Ibro felt surprised when he noticed everyone's enthusiasm to participate in this gamble. Noda said setting the rules:

"Let's guess a number with a range of 50 above and below it."

"We all agree. I will start. You contacted world number 25454."

"4477"

"2523"

"2100"

"1500"

"12637"

"1000"

"120"

"I will choose like my big sis Noda 120."

Everyone looked at Ibro with anticipation and burning eyes. Ibro felt so weird right now. Were these people crazy?

"C'mon tell us. This bet is very important."

Ibro didn't know what to say but he hopelessly said:

"I got in contact from realm 152."

"I won, oh yeah I won. I knew that big sis Noda won't disappoint me."

Sola was the one who chose to answer like Noda. She jumped and was hugging Noda with her taller body. She was a slim and tall elegant woman but she kept calling Noda with her big sister.

Ibro didn't fully get this strange chemistry between this gang. He felt he traveled back in time when he was playing with so many players. He missed this feeling for really like ages ago. He smiled. He really just missed it.

"Now every loser should stay behind and wait for us here. We will get some levels up before we come back to you."

Ibro looked at the excited Sola. This young girl was so energetic. Her teasing was really funny. He couldn't prevent the smile from appearing on his face.

He wasn't the only one to smile though, everyone else did.

"Let's go then. Keep your place here till we return. We won't take long."

They took this bet so seriously then. Ibro felt weird again. Nonetheless, he moved with the two girls towards the underground world. The entrance to that world was similar to the entrance to his village.

When he reached the underground world he saw a heated battle there. The monster's numbers were huge but the players' army with his army was bigger.

Ibro felt this battle result was already determined but he noticed the excited girls with him. They loved war, that was what he thought. Noda held her sword and said without stopping for even one moment:

"I will start raising my level. Tell me, what adventure level do you have right now?"

Ibro didn't know the answer to this question but he replied without hesitation while moving forward side by side with her:

"I didn't check it before, but my general level has reached 38."

"What?! How did you gain such levels?"

"He must have gained them after upgrading his village, right?"

"Yes. I got 10 levels from the village upgrade then I got the chance to raise my level as a normal adventurer. So in this battle, I have gained 28 more levels."

Ibro noticed that sola had taken out a long nice looking staff while saying in surprise:

"Wow, you are really lucky. Tell me, what lifestyle class do you have right now?"

"Sola, stop chatting and focus on the battle."

They were nearing the frontlines, but that didn't stop Sola from saying:

"My big sister Noda had the blacksmith class. She is really cool while she uses her hammer. Tell me your class then."

"If you don't shut up I will hit your head with my hummer as usual."

"C'mon big sis, it's just a small question."

Ibro noticed the angry looks of Noda. Sola was a really naive white heart girl. He knew she didn't mean any harm to him so he said trying to save her:

"My class is runemaster."

"Wow, that's a very rare class. How did you get it?"

"Sola, what did I just tell you? Focus on battling noisy girls."

"I'm sorry, it's just a small question after all big sis."

Ibro laughed while saying:

"I just got it by luck."

Before Sola could say anything more, Noda shouted:

"Clear the way, your lord is here."

Her shout attracted the attention of many players from her guild. They immediately cleared a path for her and the two with her to move forward.

Sola was a magician player so she was forced to stay back. Ibro ran together with Noda till they reached the monsters up ahead.

"Do you want to have a small bet with me? Whoever kills more monsters he would win and the other loses."

Ibro liked this bet. He liked the feeling of playing normally without much stress. He missed playing with a companion.

"I agree. But what is this bet's stake?"

"It's simple, the winner can ask the loser 10 questions and the loser has to answer it."

Ibro liked it more. He knew this calm-looking girl knew more info about this world's nature than him. He didn't hesitate in agreeing by saying:

"I'm in. let's do it."

Ibro then raised his speed to the max. He was slowing down to keep in pace with the two girls. Once Ibro accelerated, he reached the monsters frontlines.

He used his sword to kill whatever stood in his way. Noda wasn't slower than him either. Her speed was nearly like his. She also attacked monsters without any mercy.

Ibro felt thrilled and started to fight to his heart content. He even used his remaining even runes to raise his killing count. This battle continued for nearly a day and half.

The end result was as Ibro expected: the utter defeat of the monster's army. At the same time, he was standing right there at the furthest point in this battleground with Sola and Noda trying to get the final number of the monsters he and Nods killed.

Of course, Sola wouldn't miss such a bet without butting in.

"I killed 25236 monsters. What is your count? C'mon, tell me your count."

"Calm down dynamite girl. I killed 56321 monsters."

"What? That more than double what I killed. Why did you always kill more than me? You are a swordsman after all."

Sola then looked at Ibro with pleading eyes as she said:

"Tell me your count. Please be lower than me, please."

Ibro laughed and said with a wide smile:

"I have killed 85634 monsters."

"How did both of you swordsmen manage to kill more than me? I'm a magician! I should kill more than both of you!"

Ibro laughed while Noda said with a big smile and teasing tone:

"I warned you, you aren't suited for magician class. You are best suited as a healer."

"Healer can never kill anyone, not even a fly! How can I ever participate in the fighting bets you guys make? You always make bet fights and there are no healing bets at all!"

Ibro laughed again, this girl was really such an innocent girl. Noda just kept her mouth shut while trying not to laugh like Ibro. She knew how her friend's brain worked.

During this time, Ibro's army had gathered in one spot while the leading captain moved to go near him. Once he reached him he jumped down from his horse and knelt down on the ground while saying:

"We have killed all the monsters, my lord. We await your orders."

Ibro recalled he had no place to go. He looked towards Noda and then asked:

"I have no place to go right now. I don't know where my village is located and which way I should take to reach it from here."

"You are welcomed to stay with us here. Do you want your army to come with us to the village?"

Ibro looked around him. This place was so familiar with his underground world so he decided his mind.
