Chapter 109: The 25th Floor Records (3) (1)
-The party pursued their way.
Kishasha led the group with the remaining three mbers running side by side, keeping pace beside and behind. Priasis trailed a few steps behind, barely keeping up with the party.
Human, cant you run a bit faster? Lacari, who was at the back, urged.
This is my limit, Priasis replied, panting, biting her lips.
It was only natural. Perhaps due to their species characteristics, the partys speed was excessively fast compared to other heroes at the sa level. I had to exert all my strength just to keep up. There was no way Priasis could keep pace.
Theres no other choice. Lets slow down, Kishasha said.
The partys pace slowed down to a re walk.
Priasis wiped the sweat from her forehead.
After about ten minutes had passed, Kishasha stopped as they reached the center of the village. Kishasha looked out over the market, where nurous tents were spread out.
Daruma!
I just got here, sis.
Soone leaped down from the tents.
Another half-beast girl. She was one of the third party mbers who had fallen behind when the party started moving.
There are three exits. To the west, east, and north. The monsters are swarming at the west gate. Humans are fleeing from the east gate, and the north gate seems sowhat empty.
Hmm.
Kishasha put her hand on her chin, deep in thought.
A mission to escape the field with NPC in tow.
It seed like she was contemplating where to escape. The party had a brief waiting period.
I sat down under a palm tree stump, looking to my side. Far away, people were running from the main road. At the forefront was a procession of luxurious carriages. They seed to be nobles. Behind them were burly n who appeared to be rchants, and at the rear were won and children.
Priasis watched the scene with distant eyes.
Theyre going to get caught soon, she muttered with a sigh.
Lacari, who had been staring with a gloomy expression, spoke up.
I dont care what happens to these dirty humans.
I turned my gaze to the right.
The high walls surrounding the city had long crumbled, and the city was burning from end to end. The screams, clangs, and roars of monsters mingled and echoed.
The 25th floor is not a defensive mission.
We barely defended the city on the 10th floor, but the situation is different now. The party had changed, and the mission had taken on a different aspect. There was no need to risk their lives to protect them.
I dont think they can protect them anyway.
[Lizardman Lv.21] X 415
The number of lizardn displayed in the mission status window kept increasing.
On the other hand, the number of human soldiers steadily decreased. From 3 to 1, then 4 to 1, and now 5 to 1. The multiplier increased exponentially.
The walls had already been breached, and the village was under attack from all directions.
In any case, this village was dood.
Ive made up my mind. We need to go north. How many monsters are there?
When I went, there were about 30.
Thats enough. Lets break through there. Everyone, gather! Human female, you too.
Wait a mont! I have sothing to say.
Priasis spoke up.
She had a fearful expression, but her eyes were deeply determined.
Heroes, cant you help them?
What nonsense is this?
Itll only take five minutes. Just five minutes and these people can escape safely. If you just hold them off at the main road
Kishashas expression froze for a mont.
Priasis continued without backing down.
I know its shaless to make such a dangerous request to those you owe your life to. But, but! Theyre innocent civilians. What if you?
Whether thousands or tens of thousands of humans die, what does it matter to us? When these bastards were slaughtering our people, where were they? This scum needs to die right now
Lacari approached Priasis with a determined expression.
Stop.
Kishasha reached out to stop Lacari.
Dont touch her.
But, sis. This human
Just let her know that its impossible.
Kishasha said firmly.
Human, Im sorry, but we cant grant your request.
Are you sure about that?
Its a firm no.
Priasis closed her eyes tightly and then knelt down at that mont.
[Ding!]

[Special NPC Priasis Al Ragnar is requesting assistance!]
[Subquest (Branching Type)]

[Tips/About Subquests]
[Sotis, during missions, subquests may appear. Subquests are not directly related to the ongoing mission, but completing them can earn you great rewards. Just rember that there may be risks involved!]
Kishashas face grimaced as she examined the quest log.
[Master, you can instruct the hero to perform the quest!]
[1. Perform Perfectly
Protect Refugees and Defend the City (Reward x2)]
[2. Perform
Protect Refugees]
[3. Refuse]
[The heros intentions are as follows:]

Logs continued to appear.
These were ssages announcing subquests.
Looks like she got involved here.
I had expected it.
Occasionally, NPCs would give quests during missions. Completion was optional. You would receive a modest reward upon clearing them, but refusing them wouldnt result in significant losses.
I looked at Priasis.
She remained kneeling on the sand, her eyes tightly closed.
However
[3. Refuse (Selected)]
[I decline the quest.]
Anytng imdiately refused.
