~[The Wyrm and his Minion]~
~{Above Magma, On The Beach}~
Magma splashed and crashed on the nearby rocks as the Wyrm and his Minion made their way to Abovelava, taking in the smoldering air of the Dungeon.
For the Wyrm, he could actually only breathe air and had been relying on it to survive. But the Minobster could breathe in oxygen from both the lava and the air.
T'was quite convenient for the Wyrm, means Larry could serve him anywhere without the pesky excuse of breathing.
"Click-Chirp? (Where we go?)" The Minobster asked his Master.
'Exploring, duh... I need to test you out, bro!' He answered back through their Spiritual Connection.
The Minion processed the responses for a few short moments before answering back.
"Clack-Clip-Crack? (Test? What meaning?)" He asked again.
'Test you're usefulness, dummy! If you can't do shit, you're no better than EXP.' The Tyrannical Master threatened his glorified slave.
A shudder went through the Minobster's spine as he heard his Master's words...
"CU CLAXKAL! CLAXKAL! (ME USEFUL! USEFUL!)" The Minion shouted with an urgent tone, desperate to not end up like its brethren.
'We'll see about that, hehe~' The Master said in an easygoing tone.
The feeling that drowned poor Larry could not be described nor quantified.
'Ayo! There are a lot fewer things up here~ Go find some shit, baby!' The Master instructed his Minion with a playful tone.
It seems the Wyrm was testing Larry's scouting abilities.
"Crap? Chu Cluck? (Poop? Why want?)" It seems his instructions were rather unclear as Larry interpreted his words to mean he literally wanted shit.
'Just go find something that gives good EXP...' The Wyrm deadpanned.
"Coo! (Okay!)" Larry stated before he took the lead in the expedition.
The Wyrm followed his Minion from behind as they traveled the Stratum's beach which was entirely composed of some kind of pitch-black rock, probably obsidian.
Along the way, the Wyrm had a bright idea and activated his Appraisal Skill on the ground.
『The Floor, Middle Stratum, Great Elroe Labyrinth, under the Berserk Sea.』
'Huh, that actually worked...' He had just done it on a whim and hadn't expected this method to really work.
'Wait...' The Wyrm looked at the rocky ceiling.
'There's an Ocean up there!?' This discovery completely changed his viewpoint. Previously, he had wanted to escape this place and reach the surface, but would he just drown if he attempted to do so?
That was certainly a real possibility he couldn't ignore. He kept in mind to develop Sea-friendly Skills later down the line so as to not fucking drown.
He wondered if his Swim Skill would also help him in real water, it most likely will. Though the real concern was the Elemental disadvantage...
But that was for another day, fucking around and finding shit out is today's grand mission.
"Clack! (Master!)" His Minion alerted him as the Wyrm perked up.
'What? Did you step on your own shit?' He asked.
"Cro! Skrep Click! (No! Smell Frog!)" The Minion responded with urgency.
'Frog... The SUPER big ones!?' The Wyrm distinctly remembered his encounter with the giant lava toad. Were it not for that guy, he would have been minced meat!
"...Cro, Sel Mig. (...No, Still Big.)" The Wyrm took a few brief seconds to decrypt the meaning of his Minion's words.
The Frog was big, but not SUPER big.
'Shit... How strong is it compared to me?' He asked the Minobster an important question.
"...Ko Clack. (...Not Know.)" Huh, that's bad. Mystery was enjoyable when watching those detective TV shows, but a fucking cunt in this new life of his.
'Well, we ain't gonna know if we don't even meet up with it... Larry, be a good bro and lead me to it, why don't you?' He ordered the Minobster.
"...Clap-Clis- (You sure-)" The Minion was interrupted by his Master.
'Did I stutter?' At this moment a phantom weight enveloped the Minobster, it was as if his Master had cast some kind of malevolent Spell on poor Larry.
"C-coo... (O-okay...)" To Larry, this whole ordeal was basically a death sentence but it seems his Master thought differently on the matter.
With a non-existent heavy expression on his crustacean face, Larry led the way as the Wyrm followed shortly from behind.
Larry had more developed legs than the Wyrm but due to the Stat difference, the Gunelift was actually faster than the Minobster.
Though significantly less than in the water, the Wyrm realized.
The Minobster led his Master across the beach as a dozen or so minutes passed, but the Wyrm briefly halted his steps as a notification went off.
『The Skill ~Running LV 1~ has been acquired.』
'Well, shit... That was fast.' After surviving for a few days in this new world, the Wyrm realized that his EXP gain was kinda off the rockers and his Skills leveled up relatively fast.
It seems killing those infants actually provided him with some benefits. The fact that Larry hadn't acquired the same Skill yet proved this statement.
After gaining the hot Skill, his speed immediately accelerated to the point that Larry was left behind.
Unfortunately, only he knew the way so the Wyrm slowed down for the guy. It'd be a waste if he just wasted all that SP for no reason.
A few minutes later and they finally reached their desired destination. Upon the beach, a trio of Geafrogs was leisurely enjoying their afternoon as one of them looked at the pair of Crustaceans, seemingly not at all bothered by their presence.
"Huff... Huff... Clack-Crick-Kel! (You much fast, Master!)" His Minion shouted while releasing a few quick breaths.
The Wyrm appraised his Minion to make sure nothing happened, then let the guy have his short rest.
'You can go drink, then return here. I have something fun for you...' The Wyrm said in a deviously mysterious tone.
The Minobster shuddered in fear before looking towards the lava. He estimated that simply drinking shouldn't bother the Geafrogs, so he quickly leaped to the magma and started drinking furiously.
'Okay, that's enough... No need for you to get bloated.' His Master commanded.
The Minobster nervously returned to his Master as he awaited his new order.
'Now... Wouldn't it be funny if you tried to fight one of those guys?' The Wyrm mused to his Minion.
