If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

【Stigmata Attribute: None】

Lynn was stunned when he saw the system, especially the skill level system.

Lynn wasn't too surprised that his erudite mind had improved by learning about arrow frogs.

But after that failed ambush, Stealth quickly improved to level 2, exceeding Lynn's expectations.

Increased experience points by 13 points at once?

Such a rapid improvement?

"Doesn't that mean..." Lynn immediately realized something and turned to look at the corner.

Listening to the croaking, Lynn's eyes darted around uncertainly.

He was still a little dazed by his previous failure.

But considering the benefits of this skill...

After a few seconds of silence, Lynn gritted her teeth, crouched down, and chased after him.

Meanwhile, Mira, who had returned to the front of the arrow frogs, was strolling through the maze corridors with great interest.

Behind her, the arrow frog, completely unaware that Mira had turned back, was frantically puffing out its cheeks and spraying acid at her!

However, those shots of acid, like arrows, ultimately only hit the walls and the ground, none of them managing to get within 3 meters of Mira.

"Quite active, it seems the dungeon is in a period of high activity lately."

Mira turned her head and glanced at the arrow frog behind her, then glided through the maze as if she were sliding.

For seasoned adventurers, memorizing the map of the first-floor maze is a fundamental skill.

Therefore, even though the hundreds of arrow frogs that had been attracted by the scent croaked loudly, they were unable to keep up with Mira's pace, let alone catch her at the fork in the road.

"However, there seem to be too many arrow frogs attracted this time. It might put too much pressure on newcomers trying to dive..."

Mira, her feet barely touching the ground as if gliding, said thoughtfully:

"The guild's dungeon entrance area also needs cleaning, so I'll take this opportunity to clean it up later, so that other players won't have to clean up the monsters on this floor later..."

Just as Mira was muttering to herself, she suddenly noticed that the arrow frog following behind her was making a strange cry.

That's the kind of crying that happens when a companion is killed!

[Ding! Swordsmanship Basics +3]

[Ding! Stealth +5]

Lynn, who had pierced a dart frog through the back of the head with a one-handed sword, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The second attack went exceptionally smoothly.

Stealth, get close, aim for the center of the head, and stab!

Lynn turned a thorn frog into a 'kebab' with almost no effort.

After his success, Lynn was not greedy and immediately prepared to retreat.

"Let's get out of here, we'll come back next time."

However, at this moment,

"Quack quack quack!!!"

A sharp, piercing scream came from the one-handed sword!

Seeing the arrow frog hanging on the sword in front of him, constantly croaking, Lynn's expression changed, and he immediately cast an Appraisal spell on it.

[Ding! Appraisal skill +10, Appraisal skill increased, current level: Lv2]

[Wail: The final mournful cry of a dungeon monster when it senses its impending death; it has the function of attracting other monsters of its kind.]

"Dying actually gathers monsters? Is this dungeon a bit messy? Is this Miyazaki Hidetaka's smile?"

Lynn, holding the still-crying arrow frog in his hand, suddenly looked up at what was in front of him.

Directly in front of him, a group of arrow frogs hopped on the spot, turned 180 degrees, and stared intently at Lynn with their large, emotionless black eyes.

As Lynn flung the toad carcasses off his sword, he gritted his teeth and said:

"This is a disaster."

There was no other way... Lynn narrowed his eyes and mentally summoned the skill level system.

Although he could wait for Mira's rescue, Lynn dared not gamble on the possibility that he might be killed by the monster before the rescue arrived.

so....

System, let me see your potential!

Chapter 10 Be careful not to become a sow adventurer who only knows how to level up in a sickeningly sweet way!

"Croak! Croak! Croak!"

The cacophony of frogs assaulted my face.

After spotting Lynn, at least 40 arrow frogs abandoned their pursuit of Mira and turned to pounce on Lynn.

Above your head, the walls on both sides, and below your feet!

As if glued to the wall, the arrow frogs surged towards Lynn like a wriggling wall!

When Lynn faced the green frog wall, his face turned almost green.

Only when facing this horde of monsters did Lynn understand what that feeling was like.

My heart was racing, my cramped legs felt weak, and my brain was temporarily unable to think.

On the one hand, they were frightened by the unexpected situation.

On the other hand, the stench that wafted over when the arrow frogs swarmed in made Lynn extremely uncomfortable, as if he had a mouthful of rotten mud in his mouth.

"Damn it, system, downgrade my skills right now, downgrade them all!"

[A Brain of Broad Knowledge: Lv5→lv1]

[Identification Technique: Lv2→lv1]

[Ding! You have gained 2 skill point.]

[Stealth Lv2 → Lv4!!]

In that instant, Lynn's mind felt like it had been filled with a pot of hot water, so hot that his eyelids creased violently.

Those things about breathing, gait, and center of gravity were forced into his muscles.

Lynn even felt his feet instinctively adjust their angle as they landed, as if his body was negating his previous thoughts based on its own experience, directly changing his action logic.

"Quack quack quack!!"

The frog wall is approaching!

Lynn, who possesses the Lv4 stealth skill, glanced at the arrow frogs and could intuitively judge that his chances of escaping from this wall of frogs were less than 20%.

No!

Not high enough level! Need to upgrade again!!

After realizing this, Lynn hardened her heart.

'System, lower all my swordsmanship! Put the points into stealth!'

Faced with so many monsters, Lynn didn't think his swordsmanship was good enough to break through the encirclement.

With so many arrow frogs, if he were to chop them down one by one, he would have died long before he killed them.

Besides, Lynn understood that Mira wouldn't let him die right under her nose.

Therefore, as long as Lynn runs fast, he can hold out until Mira arrives to provide support!

All he had to do was not lose his life before Mira arrived!

In that case, all skill points should be put into stealth!

Swordsmanship Basics: Lv4→lv1

[Ding! You have gained 1 skill point.]

[Stealth ↑]

Stealth reaches level 5, Agility +1, Stamina +1

In an instant,

Lynn's breathing rate suddenly changed!

The continuous notification sounds did not affect his mood.

He suddenly sprang to his feet, turned on his toes, and charged back the way he came like a leopard.

"Ok?"

Mira, who was observing from the crossroads behind her, glanced at Lynn who rushed out in front of her with surprise. Her gaze lingered for a moment on Lynn's figure, which was moving at high speed yet with light steps.

"Is this... the official start of stealth?"

Mira was stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, Lynn had already disappeared from her sight.

"He seems to have run towards the isolation mirror... He remembers the route quite well."

As Mira spoke, she turned around, and with a gentle grasp of her hand, she caught a white light.

She turned her gaze to the approaching wall of frogs, a smile appearing on her face:

"It seems the teaching results are exceptionally good."

"Quack quack quack!!"

The croaking of frogs seemed to be echoing her speech.

At that moment, the croaking of the arrow frog also attracted Mira's attention.

"Is this enough?" Mira glanced at Arrow Frog and then muttered to herself, "Being attacked twice at the same time will cause mental problems... It's time to let him rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white light in Mira's hand condensed into a slender and exquisite one-handed sword.

The next moment, Mira crushed the white light that had gathered in her hand.

The white light dissipated, like a handful of sand gently slipping through one's fingers.

When the white sand landed, only the broken bodies of a group of arrow frogs remained on the ground.

"It's time to go and comfort the poor newcomer who was frightened."

Mira chuckled softly, and her figure disappeared into the maze-like corridors.

-----------------

Next to the isolation mirror.

Lynn leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

"Holy crap!!"

"That almost scared the hell out of me!!"

"Thank goodness I ran fast!!"

"Would you like some water? But remember to keep it in your mouth, don't swallow it, just moisten your throat."

The sudden sound made Lynn's face stiffen.

He turned his head and glanced at Mira, who was standing not far to his right, holding a brown water bag. His lips twitched slightly.

What are you doing here?

“Of course I came here after you,” Mira said with a smile, her tone relaxed.

"What about those arrow frogs from earlier?" Lynn pointed behind the isolation mirror.

“Of course, everything has been resolved,” Mira said with a smile.

At this moment, Lynn looked at Mira with a very subtle expression.
