These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 254: More battlefields

The sand people village that we visited previously had completely changed.

It reached the point where they were no longer just setting up tents, they had already started building houses out of wood and stone. It seemed like they had decided to settle in this place.

At the same time, the population that wandered the streets had almost doubled compared to before.

There were far more male adult sand people that were walking through these streets.

It was clear that this was the sign of soldiers coming back from war.

But even with all of this, we were disappointed to see that the completion percentage had only jumped up to 10%.

It had gone from 5% to 10%...

Before this, we had only wiped out a tenth of the Abyss Demons to turn the tides slightly. But this time, we had completely wiped out the rest of the Abyss Demons that were on the battlefield.

A tenth for 5% and then all of them only for 10%...

It really didn't seem to add up…

That was until I figured out what it was.

After a certain point, it didn't really matter if we continued to kill the Abyss Demons or not. Even if we didn't keep killing the Abyss Demons, the scales had been tipped to the point where the sand people would have won regardless.

Once that point was reached, it was only natural that there wasn't any more completion percentage that would be added.

It already reached a point where the conclusion was certain and our actions didn't influence it anymore.

Since we had no effect on it, it only made sense that there wouldn't be more completion score provided to us.

But even after figuring that out, I was disappointed with this village.

I thought that after we saved the fate of this village, there would be some kind of reward given to us. It turned out that there was no such reward at all.

There was no answer to the question that was on our mind, there were no allies that we could recruit to fight in the dungeon with, the only thing that had changed was the items that were for sale.

The items that had been on sale in the market were still there, but there were better items that were there with them. It seemed that as the village grew bigger, the prosperity of the village increased as well which resulted in these better items.

Though the price was there.

Even though we had slaughtered all of those Abyss Demons and I had been picking up the gold coins with the skeletal rats, it just wasn't enough to buy anything good here. The items that had appeared as the prosperity of the village increased were much more expensive than the items from before.

The gold coins that we had were far from being enough to pay for it.

So there was nothing that we could do.

In the end, we left the village with disappointed feelings as we headed deeper into the Hidden Dungeon.

This was what we had been planning to do the whole time before we had gotten caught up in the whole completion progress situation.

I once again let the Astral White Tiger lead the way.

The Astral White Tiger had been waiting the entire time for me to let it lead again, so it was actually quite anxious at this point. It seemed like it wanted to get to where it was going as soon as possible.

As if it was afraid that something else would take what it wanted to get.

But in the end, all that happened was that we arrived at another battlefield.

This was something that was already expected since we knew what kind of place this Hidden Dungeon was.

At the same time, it didn't take long for us to find another village that was near this battlefield. Though it wasn't really a village this time since it was much bigger than a village.

It was even bigger than the village was after we had defeated the Abyss Demons.

It was better to call this place a town rather than a village.

As for the battlefield, it also involved far more of the sand people and the Abyss Demons.

Only we didn't stay.

This time, I had the Astral White Tiger continue leading the way deeper into this Hidden Dungeon.

After the experience from before, I knew that there was nothing to gain from fighting the Abyss Demons. What was important now was finding out more information about this Hidden Dungeon.

There was far more to this Hidden Dungeon than met the eye, so that was the number one thing to do.

But…

"It's another battlefield." I said while shaking my head as I watched the scene in front of us.

Once again, there was another battlefield that was much bigger than the one that we saw previously.

I looked at the Astral White Tiger and asked, "Do you really know where you're going?"

With the way that the Astral White Tiger led us, it was hard to believe that it really knew where it was going.

It did lead us to places where action was happening, but it didn't seem to lead us to any meaningful places.

But the Astral White Tiger didn't seem dismayed as it pointed forward as if it was gesturing for us to keep going. It seemed like it didn't lose its excitement as it continued pointing forward.

So in the end, I had no choice but to keep following its instructions.

We didn't know anything about this Hidden Dungeon and it seemed at least there was something here that had the Astral White Tiger's attention.

In that case, we should at least see what it was.

In the end, I couldn't help being disappointed by the directions of the Astral White Tiger.

It led us to two more battlefields for five of them in total, each one growing in size until the last one was just too big for us to go around.

We had to take a full detour to go around it.
