In fact, not long after Hulim watched, he discovered that Arthur was a helper or guard hired by those nobles. He also judged that the nobles must have promised him a reward in advance, but wanted to deny it when it came to payment. Arthur wanted to demand it by force, which angered the other party and led to him being beaten up.
Because the poor people in the royal capital are at an overwhelming disadvantage facing the nobles here. If they resist, who knows what kind of revenge the other party will use. Arthur probably has people he doesn't want to be implicated, so there is no resistance here.
Hulim initially considered the possibility that Arthur had been deceived, but after a brief exchange, he realized that the young man before him was no fool. He must have researched the nobles' character beforehand. Even so, he still agreed to the commission, which showed that he was so short of money that he had no choice but to gamble on the character of these rubbish nobles...
"... Well, although I sympathize with you, I have to go now."
"Huh?! That's it? You're so cold!"
Arthur shouted with regret, and the sadness in his eyes just now was hidden.
"? Why do you say that? Didn't we just meet?"
"Yeah! We've known each other for a few minutes!"
“… …”
“… …”
"What do you want to say?"
"Um... ..."
Arthur pretended to think, but his eyes glanced at Hulim's backpack.
"Hulim, although I haven't seen you in person, you're quite powerful, right? And then, I want to ask..."
"Do you have teammates?"
“… Not today.”
"Well, today..."
Arthur understood what Hulim meant and gave a provocative smile.
"How about this, Hulim? When you go down into the dungeon alone, would you like to cooperate with me? If the two of us work together, we won't have any problems getting to the lower areas, right?"
Hulim did not respond immediately to Arthur's suggestion, but thought about it seriously. The lower area was almost all C-level dungeon monsters. Although it was no problem to deal with them alone with her own strength, it would be troublesome if she was attacked by a large number of monsters at the same time.
At this time, if there is a strong teammate who can throw it out to attract fire, it will indeed be much more convenient, but...
"...I don't understand. You're quite capable, so why don't you form a team?"
Arthur looked a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"...Same reason as before. I want to make money. Strong, permanent teammates aren't easy to find. Even if I could find one, they wouldn't be motivated by making money..."
So you've taken a fancy to my abilities and want to join forces with me to infiltrate the lower levels and make some money? It's clear you've really racked your brains to make money...
"You want to borrow my strength?"
Arthur's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. "Yes, that's right. What do you think? This will benefit you as well. When the time comes, we can distribute the rewards according to your contributions!"
"Is that so..."
clang——!
Suddenly, sword light appeared in the dungeon.
when!
Arthur used his worn iron sword to block Hulim's sudden attack, cold sweat breaking out on his face.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is too sudden!"
However, Hulim did not answer him, she retracted her sword, and then slashed out even faster.
For a moment, Arthur was attacked by a violent storm. While Arthur was trying his best to defend himself, his body was constantly retreating.
"Hey! Are you serious?"
Of course, such shouting is useless.
"Damn it, strengthen!"
Arthur recited the spell quickly, and his body was quickly covered by a faint white light.
At the same time, Hulim also activated the enhancement.
Looking at the same light shining on the opposite side, Arthur felt unwell.
"No way, you can do that too!?"
Ding! Ding! Ding...
After both sides used enhanced magic at the same time, the intensity of the battle increased instantly, and bursts of flames flashed everywhere in the dim space of the dungeon.
"If I don't kill it in seconds, the sword will collapse!"
Arthur felt distressed when he saw the increasing number of cracks on his iron sword. Although it was a cheap item worth less than a thousand kol, it was still his important asset.
"Oh, damn it! Sorry—, I'm going to get serious—!"
As he shouted this, the magic power around Arthur suddenly surged.
Seeing this, Hulim jumped back to temporarily create some distance.
“Flaming Sword——!!!”
call--!
Flames like fire snakes wrapped around Arthur's body, and then quickly covered the iron sword, turning the iron sword into a huge flaming sword.
"This fighting style..."
This is not a kind of magic called Flame Sword, but a fighting method developed by the opponent that combines fire magic with melee combat.
"If you stop now, we can sit down and talk."
Arthur raised the flaming sword and pointed it at Hulim, but did not attack directly.
"... Let me think about it."
Arthur: “?”
How is it done...
“【??????????????????????????????????????????】”
