Chapter 30: The dragon girl is bored

Max found it funny how he ended up in a love triangle party.

It was quite similar to him, but he had it much better, for Zamira and Alice were used to harems. Of course, there was nothing official yet. Still, Max believed things would soon change because waiting for too long might actually be counter-productive.

And human life was so short, to begin with… But that point didn\'t involve Max and the twins, for they had different bloodlines.

Even a high mana pool was enough to extend lifespan for much longer.

After taking off his eyes from the love triangle, Max fixed his attention on the monster. The first challenge\'s monsters looked like oversized bats. Their way of moving was unique, for they crawled on the ground.

\'They don\'t fly? I also feel their stares from the ceiling,\' Max found more monsters ahead of the route before anyone else.

He pin-pointed their locations for Zamira, for she surely would showcase her fire abilities soon.

Max then coughed, stopping Reros and his party\'s celebrations, "I think the challenge has noticed your hard work, blessing you with evolution. But we don\'t want to waste time here, do we?"

Reros sighed, his eyes narrowed as he didn\'t like how the newcomer acted around him in his party. He didn\'t let anything transpire on his face, for he needed the mage to overcome the third challenge.

He nodded, "Got it… Let\'s continue."

A few breaths later, Reros\' heart palpitated with excitement. Even though he couldn\'t try his new strength yet, he was elated to see Zamira\'s fireballs. Her magic was fast, precise, and always on point.

She lit up the whole cave with her element, bringing down all enemies before they could crawl toward them.

She would soak the whole first challenge with their blood at this speed!

"The second challenge is this way," Max pointed at the smaller passage, which was one of many branches here.

All of them were fake except the one Max had selected. He had read the mana with his peculiar skill, learning about the correct route. He didn\'t need to kill any monster and get their blood to find it.

But it was simply too suspicious and weird. He hadn\'t even killed one monster, leaving all to \'his fire girl\', and now he pointed at the apparently real route!

Reros and Lasine couldn\'t believe him.

Yet, the twins and Tomczu stood next to Max\'s side.

"I believe him. There\'s no point in joking in such a situation. Besides, this girl used so much mana. She probably has to drink more than just one potion to regenerate it all. That\'s why I am sure he is not joking around," Tomczu said.

Inwardly, he sneered, for Reros no longer had his leader\'s aura. In this way, Tomczu could slowly separate Lasine from his side and score some points in her heart while Reros shone less and less.

Of course, the twins supported Max wholeheartedly.

And with this, Max had three people willing to follow him while Reros was left alone with Lasine.

Even the healer gently smiled, telling him to follow Max, "Tomczu is right. And it\'s just the first challenge. We can die and wait, can\'t we?"

Reros sighed with more emotions behind his voice, "We can. But if you trick us, I will remember your name and looks!"

"Yeah, sure," Max smiled, waving his hand as if shooing away a fly.

The party followed Max\'s route, finishing the first challenge effortlessly. The system message announcing the second challenge surprised the newcomers, their eyes looking at Max with curiosity.

Of course, Max didn\'t reveal anything. He used the second challenge to boost Tomczu\'s skill, then waited for the third one to increase the healer\'s capability.

The second challenge was also about fighting, but the party had to trigger hidden mechanisms in the wall this time. This wasn\'t a challenge to Max and Alice, who had been fighting together on the front.

Reros was close to them, working with his tank.

Alice killed the monster similar to a rat, catching up to Max, "Hey… Do we really need those players?"

Max glanced into her eyes, "I guess we don\'t."

"Of course, we don\'t! They are boring. This tank only works with us because he can\'t get a girl alone. That swordsman is already fed up with you because he is not dictating the pace, and the healer is your usual good girl.

They are insignificant and boring," Alice called them boring for the second time, stressing it as if it was necessary.

Max narrowed his eyes, glancing at Tomczu and Reros fighting together against the big rat. Their evolved abilities were pretty intense, much stronger than common players.

Tomczu held his shield tightly, using the new evolution, "Shield Tree!" His shield buzzed, creating a transparent layer. This layer spread like wings, protecting himself and his allies better.

And then, Reros slid down through it, hacking at the rats\' feet. His sword drew a wide laceration on the monster\'s body, chunking down a considerable amount of health points…

If things turned south, the healer was at bay. She currently refiled the boys\' mana and stamina, for they were doing pretty good without losing many health points.

Max secretly whispered to Alice, "Look at the rat."

"Hehe," Alice grinned, knowing what would soon happen.

Just like she had predicted, the rat grew in size. Its strength rose significantly, for Max poured more mana into his body. His teeth elongated, ready to dig through these players\' bodies!

"W-What the hell happened?" Reros whispered, not believing the development before his eyes.

Those monsters never evolved. And this evolution was simply absurd, for the rat\'s body grew more than five meters! Tomczu was the same, his thoughts aligning with his love rival, which was surely rare.

The healer also thought the same as her friends, trembling as the rat\'s looks turned more vile and disgusting.

Max whispered, "Well… The dragon has deemed you boring, so you have to die."
