Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives-Chapter 794: (Un)solid Team
Villain Ch 794. (Un)solid Team
"Just get along with each other, okay?" Greatest Healer’s voice was gentle, carrying a soothing tone that seemed to calm the nerves. "You too, Bored Hunter. I’m the one with the smallest level here, but I’m not complaining."
Bored Hunter shot a sidelong glance at Greatest Healer, a mixture of irritation and skepticism dancing in their eyes. With a derisive snort, they muttered, "Haven’t I said it before? You’re a healer. As long as you have your buff and healing skills, you’ll come in handy. Me? I’m literally useless here.
My mark is often missed due to my lack of level." The words dripped with frustration.
Arcana couldn’t help but interject with a scoff. "You know you’re useless, but you complain the loudest among us." His tone was laced with playful mockery, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.
Bored Hunter’s irritation flared at Arcana’s remark, their features contorting into a scowl. "Oh, shut it," they retorted, their voice tinged with annoyance. "At least I’m honest about it."
Greatest Healer sighed softly, casting a placating glance between the bickering members of the party. "We all have our strengths and weaknesses," they said, their voice carrying a hint of wisdom born from experience.
"Honestly, you’re always whining about being useless, but what have you done to improve?" Arcana’s voice held a note of challenge to Bored Hunter, his gaze piercing as they awaited a response.
Bored Hunter bristled at the accusation, their hands tightening around the grip of their bow. "What do you expect me to do?" he shot back, their tone defensive. "I contribute what I can with my skills, but I can’t do anything."
Red_King huffed tiredly and shrugged. "He has a point," he chimed in, his voice resonating reluctantly.
Father^Alex spoke up, his voice gentle yet firm. "While that may be true, it’s also important to recognize the value of effort," he said, turning to Bored Hunter, his words carrying a hint of admonition. "Complaining won’t change your circumstances, but putting in the effort to improve will."
Greatest Healer nodded in agreement. "We’re all here to support each other," he said, his tone soothing.
The argument seemed to escalate despite Greatest Healer’s attempts to diffuse the tension. Allen, his frustration simmering just beneath the surface, took a deep breath, his irritation palpable in the tense set of his jaw. This hunt was supposed to be a simple venture with Azura, just the two of them.
"That’s why I’m not a fan of joining a random team," Allen muttered under his breath, his words tinged with a hint of bitterness. He turned away slightly, his gaze sweeping over the desolate landscape of the cemetery. His eyes caught sight of something intriguing in the distance, a lone grave standing intact amidst the ruins, its surface still pristine despite the decay surrounding it.
Beneath it, a gaping hole yawned, hinting at hidden depths below.
For a moment, Allen considered mentioning his discovery to the group, but the ongoing argument swirling around him gave him pause. With a team as fractured as this one, any attempt to explore further would likely only lead to further discord and complication. Instead, he resolved to keep his findings to himself, planning to return later with his main team.
Azura, her voice tinged with regret, spoke up amidst the chaos. "I’m sorry for the mess," she murmured, her eyes cast downward in a mixture of guilt and frustration.
Allen turned to Azura at her words, his expression softening slightly despite the turmoil swirling around them. He let out a heavy sigh and shook his head. "It’s fine," he replied, his tone resigned. "I knew it would turn out like this. I expected it."
Turning his attention to Bored Hunter and the rest of the group, Allen’s voice carried a note of weary resolve. "Guys, I think we should end our hunt here," he said, his words echoing in the silence that followed. "With a team like this, we can’t move on. The fact that we managed to defeat a mini boss is already a miracle."
Bored Hunter and the others fell silent, the weight of Allen’s words sinking in as they remembered that this hunt was supposed to be a simple outing between Azura and Allen alone. Arcana, her frustration evident in the crease of her brow, took a deep breath, begrudgingly conceding to Allen’s assessment of the situation.
"Yeah, we can’t move on like this," Arcana admitted, her voice laced with reluctant agreement. "I think we should go back now."
Red_King, his patience worn thin by the bickering and discord within the group, huffed in annoyance and shot a pointed look at Bored Hunter, as if silently promising to address his behavior later. "I agree," he declared, his voice firm. "We should return now."
The decision to retreat settled among the weary group. They reached for their Home Crystals, each member clutching the shimmering gemstone tightly in their grasp. These crystals held the power to transport them back to safety in times of need.
With a collective exhale, they activated the crystals, unleashing a brilliant burst of light that enveloped their bodies in a dazzling display of magic. The air crackled with energy as the light swirled around them, wrapping them in its warm embrace before whisking them away from the desolate cemetery.
Allen, before he was fully enveloped by the light, cast one final glance at the lone grave that had piqued his curiosity earlier. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, a silent promise of his intent to return and explore its secrets further.
