My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 201 - 147: Remembrance Festival

"That team of Gray Dwarves is just ahead. They should be in battle with the Rust Monsters," Raine said in a low voice as he glanced around at the four members of the squad.

It’s like this again!

Laisa blinked as she looked at Raine.

Although she was still not used to Raine’s extraordinary "perception" in detecting movements ahead before herself, she was no longer surprised.

After all, considering Raine’s relatively more exaggerated combat prowess, having such strong perception was honestly not much.

However, for Sulfur Vine and Benest, Raine’s words brought a different feeling.

The two exchanged glances, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief—

They were almost writing on their faces, "Isn’t it supposed to be Laisa, the Wanderer at the forefront of the team, who detects the situation first?"

Sulfur Vine, in particular, stared at Raine with even more curiosity.

Perhaps it was due to her unfortunate childhood experiences.

Or it might be because of the natural admiration for strength as a woman.

Without realizing it herself, Sulfur Vine was somewhat overly focused on Raine.

"Hmm? Then this group of Gray Dwarves really is...."

Laisa seemed to think of something and said with an odd expression. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"In that case, aren’t they clearing the path for us."

"Not only did they feed the Armor Crawler Monsters, so we avoided an ambush, but now they’re also clearing out the Rust Monsters for us."

Finding Laisa’s words amusing, Elise covered her little mouth and giggled.

"The Gray Dwarves fighting the Rust Monsters would likely lose a lot of weapons and equipment, all their weapons are made of metal."

"So do we wait for them to finish fighting or...?" Sulfur Vine asked.

Clearly, the best time to strike would be when they finished off the last Rust Monster and let their guard down.

Raine’s ears twitched slightly as he listened carefully, then smiled.

"We shouldn’t need to wait."

"The battle should be nearing its end."

"Get ready."

....

Meanwhile.

Less than a hundred meters ahead of Raine.

Bruno, the dwarf wearing shackles, looked at the scene of the Gray Dwarves gaining the upper hand in battle and instead of being happy, cursed loudly in Dwarven Language.

Judging from his whip-scarred bare arms and rough cheeks, he’d had a tough time since being captured.

From an outsider’s perspective, Bruno’s blatant taunting of the Gray Dwarves demonstrated a certain courage of disregarding life and death.

But in reality, the true reason was that Bruno now clearly understood the desperate situation he would face in a few days.

The true desperation.

Far beyond the Rust Monsters in front of him.

And incomparable to the ambush by the Armor Crawler Monsters a while back.

Because he was going to become a sacrifice for the Celebration of Remembrance in Dark Furnace City.

Exactly!

Out of a deep-seated hatred for surface dwarves, the Gray Dwarves treat dwarves even more cruelly and ruthlessly than they do the Drow.

This is something Bruno had well experienced in the past few days.

Being set to become a sacrifice to Radug, the dwarven betrayer god, was even harder for Bruno to accept.

In dwarf culture, it is said that becoming a sacrifice to an evil god means one’s soul can never return to the Divine Country of the Dwarven main god, Moradin.

So, it’s not his bravery or lack of fear of death; instead, what’s waiting for him is a death method he couldn’t possibly accept.

In comparison, he would prefer to die on the road rather than reaching Dark Furnace City safely.

"Bruno, save your strength."

"Apart from possibly corroding some equipment, the Rust Monsters don’t pose too much trouble for the Gray Dwarves," Mage Loren said lowly from beside him.

"We don’t have a chance."

Loren looked much better than Bruno, with not many torture marks on him, just a bit of torn Mage Robe.

Half a day earlier, because neither of them coordinated ahead of time, in the encounter with the Armor Crawler Monsters, neither he nor Bruno managed to escape.

And now, despite being attacked by Rust Monsters, their combat capability was not strong, and apart from some damage to weapons and equipment, the Gray Dwarves could easily handle them.

But for them, the chance to escape was dwindling!

Both had narrowly survived their last encounter with the White Dragon Mage, Aiel.

Since their imprisonment, he had been painfully regretting his decision for several days.

Thinking back now, he was tempted by the possibility of vast amounts of wealth then.

He lost his mind, losing the calm analysis a mage should have.

Thinking about it carefully, with enemies like the Gray Dwarf Commander appearing in the mines, how could the deeper underground spaces possibly be safe?

If there really was such a benefit, why would Mr. Rein choose to return easily?

Ah~ If only he had decided to follow Mr. Rein back that day!

And what about Ava?

"Hiss~"

As the last Rust Monster let out a final scream and fell heavily to the ground, surrounded and killed by the Gray Dwarves.

Dwarf Bruno shut his mouth at this sight, and he exchanged a glance with Mage Loren, seeing a look of extreme dejection in each other’s eyes.

Clearly, to their eyes, it was yet another missed opportunity to escape.

And as they approached Dark Furnace City, their chances of escaping shrank ever smaller!

As both of them hung their heads low in despair.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, in the dark crevasse passage, three crescent-shaped silver lights abruptly illuminated.

Like three moons appeared.

Soon after, the silver crescents seemed to teleport, swiftly hitting three Gray Dwarves who had just finished battling the Rust Monsters from twenty to thirty meters away in the blink of an eye.
