Unfathomable Senior - Chapter 304

“Um…Leigong-san are you sure this is the best way to do this?”

“What do you mean? Of course, it is, now stab it through the eye… though I think you could also do it through the ear, just be sure to hit the brain.”

Takeshi, dressed in light armor and with a steel sword in his hand was looking at Zhang Dong who was holding something. It was a large orc looking monster, it was the type of orc that was more pig like but also had green skin.

“You must land the last hit to get the experience you’ll get even more if it's a critical hit, aim for the eye!”

The youth with the sword wasn’t alone here, with him was the whole party of girls. They were all looking from the sidelines. Some of them were covering their eyes while others were peeking from between their fingertips.

“O-okay…”

Takeshi took off running and activated one of the basic skill called ‘Sword Thrust’. His steel sword started glowing in blue before increasing in speed and penetrative power. The Orc was subdued and stationary so it was quite easy to land the critical hit through the eye socket.

“UuRGhhh…”

The orc cried out for a moment before succumbing to the deadly injury. Soon its body disintegrated into many tiny particles. These small glowing dots formed a torrent of energy and headed towards Takeshi and entered his body. Soon the youth watched as his status screen popped out before his face signaling him that he gained a couple of levels.

“See that wasn’t that hard!”

“Y-yeah…”

Zhang Dong looked at the people gathered here. They were in a special dungeon that was opened up right after the Heroes received their classes and unlocked their class system. He was sure it had something to do with this world's scenario as this place was clearly a tutorial stage that helped these kids earn levels easily.

This dungeon had many levels and was situated directly under the capitol castle. It reminded him of the smaller version of Cthulhu that he fought. It also was right at the spot that he appeared on and was corrupting weaker monsters that he could train against. It was his first real obstacle that let him achieve a small breakthrough in his own demeanor. Only after defeating that monster did he start to gain confidence.

Now these youths were in a similar situation. Thanks to Isabella’s and Beatrice’s positions they were able to wiggle into a spot at the heroes party. There was actually quite a large number of people here. Just like he thought the members of the royal family were trying to weasel their way into the hearts of these heroes.

There were princes in costly shiny armor here along with the cute princes that was adept at buffing magic. She was constantly staying close to Takeshi and batting her long eyelashes at him. Even though Zhang Dong had told him to not trust them the young man was not good at listening.

The youth was constantly blushing and sneaking in peeks at the pink haired princess. It was clear that this was the first time that a beauty of this caliber had given him so much attention. There was no way of him not falling for her, he was barely sixteen with no experience at all. This all felt similar to his first real experience that he had so long ago with that one vixen.

‘I wonder if she is still at the sect…’

His thoughts trailed off to his home again. He had been trapped here for over a month now and time was ticking down. After defeating the three demon lords there was no new news about the other ones.

The first Demon lord of Pain he had forced out into the open. The second one was an established Archdemon with his own little territory that people knew about already. The monster was kept under wraps but no one could fully get rid of it till he came along. The last one had freshly descended into the human domain through a ritual and was also now gone.

Zhang Dong was out of options as he had already gone around the known continent and tried to find more demons. After his little eradication spree they were now in full hiding mode. The only place one of them could be in was one of the buried dwarven countries or somewhere on the island of the elves.

The former was unlikely as the long ears had a vast array of protective magic along with detection spells to counter any evil beings. Though the Principal was also an elf and she had a demon working for her as a maid. Thus there could be a high ringing demon hiding there but it was also possible that there were no more Demon Lords on this side.

It was possible that the two last Archdemons were waiting for them behind the huge barrier between continents. News of three of their generals being killed had probably reached their ears. It would be stupid of them to not be cautious and just continue invading in the same way as they did before.

“Oh my, Lord Takeshi let me bring you some water, you must be parched…”

“Ah, thank you Princess Delilah.”

While thinking about how to get the other two corrupt gems from the Demon Lords he was reminded why he came here. The Princess was all smiles and cheering on Takeshi while her handsome male counterparts were talking it up with the female heroes.

“But I didn’t really do much… Leigong-san held it in place.”

‘I thought this would be a harem route… but everyone is getting their own prince or princess to play around with…’

The same princess looked at him after Takeshi mentioned his name. He could tell that under those girly smiles there was anger and resentment. Due to his involvement these royal family members were having a hard time kissing up to the heroic party.

What he did was to examine their versions of the system. He needed to figure out how it worked and how to increase their fighting power further. Without these heroes getting to a certain point the King would not allow them to leave this place or go to the demon country.

To actually begin the invasion they would need the three great races to open up the barrier surrounding the continent. Zhang Dong had actually examined this barrier and could tell that without reaching at least the early realm of nascent soul he would have no way of going through it.

Attempting something like that would probably drain his human batteries which were Beatrice and Isabella. Even if he got the barrier open he would probably not have any energy left to contend with any of the demon lords for at least a day. The demonic army would probably just not sit idly by after the barrier was gone though. That approach could just doom the entire human race and all the others.

The system was a bit similar to his old one with mostly a switch in genre. Instead of cultivation realms, the high schoolers were shown classes and levels. They had one main hero class which was static while the subclasses could be advanced further.

Takeshi for instance was a Hero : Sword User, After reaching level ten he was able to change his class into Hero : Swordsman he was now at level fourteen and which also indicated that higher classes had more requirements for further evolution. The girls had the same options like changing from a Hero : Healer to a Hero : Cleric and so on.

How they gained experience and levels was very RPG like. They only needed to kill monsters and they would absorb the energy as experience which was then converted to levels. Zhang Dong also noticed that there wasn’t much loss of anything after killing, almost all of the energy was quickly absorbed into their bodies. It was as if their bodies were perfectly created to get this energy.

Their skills would level up a bit differently. They received separate points that could then be spent to level up skills that they deemed worthy. There was also the possibility of leveling them up by using them and training. Just like with the Ork now, when Takeshi landed the killing hit while using his skill. He would get a lot more points to spend in his build like this than by training the skill himself repeatably by himself.

Thus he came up with the fastest way of giving the kids a boost by power leveling them. There was no loss in experience if he helped them, the person that scored the last hit would get most of the points. What he would do was to subdue the more powerful monsters and hold them in place with his overwhelming aura. Then one of the heroes would deliver a few blows to critical areas.

The biggest problem at first was their cleric, the shapely big sister was unable to deliver any kind of punishment to even the weakest monster. Luckily for them her magic had the holy attribute to it and there were some undead creatures in this maze like dungeon. He only needed to find a particular monster that each of these youths was good against.

Monsters weak to magic were pitted up against Sakura who was a mage. Ones that were weak to blunt attacks had to suffer under Ami’s fists and kicks. While Takeshi took out mostly regular creatures that could be pierced by his sword or could have their head severed. He was the easiest to level up from the whole bunch and also had the highest stats. It was clear that he was the main protagonist of the story.

“Mr. Leigong do you need any help?”

Beatrice called out from the side while dressed in some battle gear. She was wearing a nice summoner robe that boosted her magic power. Next to her was a bored Isabella who was looking with disgust at a certain green haired prince.

“Not really, you both can relax and do some breathing exercises. These monsters are quite weak, if an Archdemon doesn’t pop up we should be fine.”

With the excuse of Hero protection he was assigned to this party along with his summoner. Lucky for them the King wasn’t that impressed with him for some reason. He wasn’t sure why but maybe he thought that he didn’t have anything to fear from a summoned spirit.

This was probably true as he was quite limited by his summoner. Zhang Dong feared that Beatrice’s life would be in danger if he ever got out of line. That didn't mean that he wouldn't act if the king got out of line. He was already thinking of a couple of bluffing tactics that he could use. 

“Okay listen up kids, there is a boss chamber ahead of us! Here is the plan…”

Everyone perked up as due to Zhang Dong the whole adventure part of this trip was being called into question.

“I’ll hold it down and you’ll whack it. We’ll have to be sure that everyone gets enough whacks in to spread the experience out equally!”

The people narrowed their eyes and just continued forward. This type of fighting was easy but also quite boring.

“Now let us head out!”
