15 Chapter 14 – Party.
"…."
"Fuck." – said ClownFrog after the traitor mage died.
(Well, I freaking beat them, but even so I lost all of my undead and lost almost half of my HP. Things didn't go as planned.)
(The plan was to kill the last standing group after they got worn out from fighting and killing the other group.)
(The last standing group would be worn out and be easy target, however because of that mage and elf unexpected betray, the other party manage to beat enemy easier that expected. I was not expecting for them to suddenly betray them!)
"Because of this bastards betraying them, they were less worn out that planned and because of that I ended up losing all of my undeads for crying out loud!"
(And to make things worse. Only a freaking shoulder pads dropped that I already have! These guys didn't had high karma or anything. For fuck sake.)
(Anyway, the current question is, should I go in NOW?)
(I don't have any undeads on me right now. I can always make more if there are monsters in dungeon, but fighting with no undead at the start is too risky for me. On top of that what if the monsters inside are undead as well or some other type of monsters I can't turn into undead?)
"Fuck me in the ass. I can't go in even if I wanted to!"
(I have to quickly restoke my undead before somebody finds this place!)
ClownFrog quickly run back to the forest and beginned killing any monster he found as fast as possible and using their bodies to make new undeads.
[One undead restocking later.]
(Quick. Quick. Quick!) – though ClownFrog while running through the forest.
"…. Nice!" – said ClownFrog after coming back to the spot where the dungeon was and noticing that nobody was there.
(I don't see nobody nearby! Maybe I was lucky and nobody really did find it!)
"Anyway, you all move- "
"HEY!"
"…. Fuck." – said ClownFrog.
ClownFrog quickly turned around and saw a pair of players behind him. One of the players was an male dark forest elf, while the other player was a short female player with red horns.
"Tch. What is your deal?" – asked ClownFrog while being ready for fight.
"Wow there buddy. Calm down. We are not looking to fight." – said the male dark elf while trying to get closer.
"Step the fuck back. Or I will kill." – said ClownFrog while pointing his staff at the dark elf.
The dark elf quickly took step back.
"Easy there buddy. I swear that we really don't want to fight." – said the dark elf while backing away.
"And? How do I know if you are telling truth or not? What if the moment I turn my back to you I won't get stabbed?"
(There is only 2 of them I restocked all of my undeads. If they try to fight me, I have decent chance of winning.)
(There is no use bluffing or hiding, since they already saw the cave. They probably already came to the conclusion this is dungeon.)
(The question right now is: What is their game?)
"…. Look man- "
"Oh, just shut up. Let me talk." – said the short female with horns and red eyes and black sclera.
"But- "
"No buts! There is no use sweet talking or anything. So, let's get down to the business." – said the horned played while pushing away the elf away.
"Don't you agree mister skeleton?"
"…. Go on."
"The place behind is dungeon. There is no use hiding it considering how you are on guard you and all. And its probably single type dungeon since it would be the only reason why you are on guard."
"However, you probably know your self how hard is to beat those type of dungeons. So how about we do a little deal then hm?"
"Let form a party and work together. How does that sound?" – said the short female with horns.
"…. Why the heck should I trust you? Why the heck should you trust me?"
"What if we form a party and the moment, I let my guard down you won't betray me in the back? Or by any chance won't I betray you suddenly?"
"Your proposal may sound nice but what if it is a trap and all?" – said ClownFrog while still keeping his guard up.
"But if it is a trap the proposal is still good, yes? You seem like the smart guy so you probably realize what I said before was true." – said the female player with horns.
"Yea. I do know what you said just said is true and all, but that doesn't mean I can trust you."
"…."
"Then how about we do a small deal then? You will be made party leader and we will turn the setting that party leader will receive all item drops. Even if we betray you, we won't get any items. Seems pretty good isn't not?"
"Hey hold on- "
Before dark elf could say anything, the small female with horns punched him in the nuts.
"Then, how about it?"
"…."
"You are risking a lot here." – said ClownFrog.
"I know. But we won't have your trust other way."
"And let say I agree to your proposal and all. How we will distribute items?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Equally. And after beating the boss the dungeon you will pick the first reward you want."
"…. And what if I won't give you anything?"
"Then we will just hunt you down whenever we have a chance and beat the living hell out of you :3"
"…."
(What is her deal?)
(Is she very smart or just plain up stupid.)
(Her threat doesn't of beating me up doesn't have much. Since I can just run away while and lose them.)
(She seem confident and she know what she is talking about. She probably knows that I can easily betray them and just make run for it.)
(But honestly right now, the thing she said was true. I don't know if I will be able to beat this dungeon alone.)
(The last dungeon I beat was honestly lucky because of my random theory that just popped up in my mind with burning the corpse with torches.)
(There is very good chance I won't be able to beat the dungeon and if by any chance I die, somebody will be able to just come in and clear it before I get back. On top of that I don't know how difficult the dungeon is yet or what kind of monsters are inside. Will it be like ratman dungeon that is overflowing with monsters or by any chance something completely different?)
(Forming a party with them maybe the only proper answer if I want to beat the dungeon on the first try before somebody else clear the dungeon before me.)
(But….)
You fucker.
How is that my fault?! I fallowed the plan!
Who gives the shit! It doesn't change fact we lost because of you!
Me?! It wasn't my fault one bit!
You ungrateful piece of shit! We accepted you into the team and that how grateful you are?!
What the heck do you mean-?! You bastards! You want to put the blame to me?! You can't be fuking serious?! I did everything like you asked and sticked to any stupid plan, but now you want to pin the blame on me?!
And don't you see you are the wrong one if the majority says so?! Just fuck off!
"…."
(….Now I really want to kill them both because they reminded me of them….)
(…..Fuck me. Can I really trust them? But it's not like I have choice if want to beat that dungeon.)
(However if they even show a slightest hint of betray, I'm fuking murdering them both!)
"…. Fine, you won. You have the deal." – said ClownFrog.
"Perfect." – said the female dark elf.
"Now hold on! Don't I have anything to say in this?!" – said the male dark elf.
"No, you don't since you suck at making deals."
"Ugh!"
"Anyway, my name is Shri and that guy name is Oron."
"ClownFrog."
"I'm adding you to the party right now."
[Player ClownFrog has invited you to party.]
[Party settings:

"I'm just going to ask once again to be sure. Are you absolutely sure about this?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Yea, yea. Just get on with it."
[Shri has joined the party.]
[Oron has joined the party.]
"Anyway, before we go in, should we talk about ourselves and our strong points and all?" – said the Oron.
"…. Okay." – said ClownFrog.
"As you can see, my race is unliving and my subrace is lizardman. My specialty is necromancy. You probably guessed this much already just by looking at me."

"Crossbow? I though you would be using bow, since you know…. Elf?"
"Yea. I kind of thought about that as well, but I kind of sucked with the bow when I tried using it, but I quite good with crossbow and I kind of likes using it. I also thought about going full mage, but I really like using crossbows"
"Huh. Well since you like it then it's, okay?"

"Anyway, can we go in now? I don't want to deal with some random PK players coming and trying to kill us after finding out about the dungeon." – said Shri.
"Yea. Let's go." – said ClownFrog.
"Oh, wait."
"?"
"[Tame Summon]."
A magic circle appeared on the ground and moments later a pair of monsters appeared. The first monster had appearance of the hybrid between a lizard and a wolf while the other one was black and white colored owl.
[Night Owl – Amini – Level 24] [Beast/Bird]
[Lizard Wolf – Gog – Level 24] [Beast/Lizard/Mammal]
"Oh. Right. You said you were tamer."
"I know about lizard dogs since they sometimes hang around with kobolds, it's a fast moving monster that can apply poison when biting enemies right? But what is night owl?"
"Night owl is pretty interesting monster. This monster could only spawn during the night time and it is a monster capable of using dark magic. It's pretty rare monster." – said Shri while looking smug.
"Oh, I see. I didn't know about that, about rare monsters."
"So anyway, are you ready now?" – asked ClownFrog.
"Yea. Let's go."
The entire party entered the dungeon.
[You have entered dungeon: Bite Ant Nest.]
"Bite bug nest?" – said ClownFrog.
"I guess we will be dealing with bug monsters. Bite Ant bugs. Its pretty obvious that monster will bite considering its name." – said Oron.
"…. We should keep our guards up. We already walked for quiet a bit but we haven't yet encounter anything. It wouldn't be surprising if we just encounter a group of monster by now." – said ClownFrog.
"!"
"By the look of things, you were correct." – said Shri while getting for combat.
From afar, a sound of very similar to a pincer could be heard coming from afar. At first it was only sound coming, but then second and third sound of pincers could be heard before even more pincer sounds joins in.
Before long, a group giant ant like creatures appears and came running straight at the group.
"Let me. Alone" – said ClownFrog.
"Go."
ClownFrog send his undead monsters to confront the giant ant and the fight between them began.
The skeleton servants tried hitting the ant monster in the head, however it attack didn't manage to leave much damage on the monster, however when ant monster retaliated, it manage to crush part skeleton servant arm that was holding a bone weapon with easy with it jaws.
"Huh. They seem quite tough and puck a punch."
(But it's not like those are boss monsters.)
The undead monsters were getting killed by the ants, however the overwhelming number advantage of the undeads manage to crush the giant ant monster group one by one until the last ant monster was killed.
"[Create: Lesser Skeleton Servant] [Create: Lesser Skeleton]"
ClownFrog used the bodies of the just killed ant monsters to regain some of his loses by creating new skeleton servants and turning the ants into undeads.
"Huh. So pretty much you don't care if your undead dies or anything, since you can always make new ones from the corpses?" – asked Shri.
"Well, I'm necromancer. What did you expected? Make undead fight, they dies, make new ones and repeat." – said ClownFrog.
"Huh."
"!"
"Well, by the look of things another group is coming our way." – said ClownFrog after hearing the sound coming from afar.
"Wait. You had your moment. Now its our turn." – said Shri.
"…Okay. Have fun." – said ClownFrog while backing away with his undeads.
"Now then. Let's get to it."
