Peridot looked at the two as if they were looking at her as a tigress or something. She finally decided to stomp her feet and tell them that they should not waste any more time.
Peridot then asked, "What were your missions again?"
"I will send it to you guys then." Levin Cloud answered.

The two of them then bulged their eyes when they saw the final link quest reward. The last quest was a unique job class that only one player has acquired. The player who unlocked the unique job class has not been identified yet as there were no streamers who announced it yet. There were some players who claimed that it was them but was quickly shut down because they only wanted attention.
"Do not tell me it was Adrian who acquired the unique job class? It can't be because that guy is good but not that good." Peridot was mumbling to herself.
"Wow! Your first quest is like bad news. The second one is ok since it is only a bit of reputation. Anyway let us head there already because we are wasting time." Kabrakan mentioned.
"Let us go then!" Levin Cloud said as he invited them in a party that he just named Cloud Party.
Blue Valley is like the name says a valley but it was not exactly blue. The reason it has the word blue in the name is because of the clear blue river running at the middle of it. It was the centerpiece of the town that was there before the monster flood came in and wrecked it.
Now the river is still clear blue but it was already infested with aquatic predatory creatures. The river also sometimes rises as that field zone would experience heavy rainfall because of a rumored river monster. There was a subjugation quest for it but you needed to be at least level 150 and have the ability to breathe underwater which a majority of the player base do not know.
The party went by carriage since teleportation scrolls were expensive as hell unlike someone who gets it for free. Also since there are not many mages who can use spatial magic, the current teleportation portals are strictly guarded by each nation. It is a combination of alchemy and magitech with a bit of space magic mixed into it. Only head mages of magic towers could make them with the help of gnomes.
"Seriously! You are a gnome. Why do you not have at least a vehicle? I know gnome players could get them for free once." Kabrakan asked as the carriage they are riding is slow compared to Magitech Vehicles that gnomes use.
"I broke mine okay so shut up and look at the scenery!" Peridot said a bit embarrassed as her vehicle was still getting fixed due to her poor driving skills.
The journey then went smoothly with silence inside the carriage as no one knows how to diffuse the atmosphere that happened. They went down the carriage and paid. Since there used to be a monster flood in the area, they were dropped off a bit farther away so that they could be safe. Monsters still attack roads as NPCs hire bodyguards to guard convoys and such.
The three friends then went towards the area where the church used to be. Thankfully, the church ruins was near the edge of the town as the Church of Life like to put their churches where there is peace and quiet. The monsters at the edge of the town were rather easy as they were about only level 40 at the highest.
They reached the abandoned church with ease that was a surprise for the three of them because they thought it was easy. The only obstacle that they encountered was the monsters that suddenly attacked them during their travel to the church in ruins. They found the church with only about a quarter of it was still standing and the rest were in rubbles.
Levin Cloud told them to search for a hidden entrance as each church used to have one as both a bunker and a storage for important documents. They looked for it but as only a quarter of the church was still there and there were big stones blocking some of the places. Kabrakan then started bashing his shield onto the big stones which puzzled the two who heard the cracking sounds.
"Why are you doing that?" Peridot asked.
"I thought that since this game mimics most of the real world so I tried to bash the big stones. If they crumble them we could gain access to the areas that the big stones have blocked off." Kabrakan said since he is the type of person that thinks simple.
When the two heard his reason, they could only laugh at themselves because their thinking was that it was a game. Well, it is indeed a game but not the traditional game in a sense that you need this to get access to that. Pandemonium is like the real world where you need this so you do option one or option two. There are multiple ways to do something but you can arrive at the same conclusion. You could also do the same thing as the other and slightly vary it and you would get a different result. Pandemonium is filled with different possibilities depending on the behavior of the player.
"Move your giant behind out of the way then." Peridot suddenly ordered.
"Why?" Kabrakan asked because he knows that she was a mage and would have less of a strength stat compared to her.
"I have a skill that could crumble stone. I got it when I got my job class advancement. I just did not think I would use it for this occasion. I only have a low mastery so do not expect that I would be done quickly." Peridot said as she began chanting the spell.
When she casted a spell, something like a magic circle appeared below the church and was triggered. The weather suddenly changed and dark clouds rolled over. It did not take long for rain to appear and drench the party but it only made Peridot's spell more effective as it somewhat weakened the giant stones. At first she could take out chunks that were a foot in diameter but with the aid of the rain, the stones crumble easier as she takes out chunks.
The party did not know that something triggered as they thought it was just the usual rain for the Blue Valley. Peridot was working hard and her mana draining as she continued to use the spell. The two who were guarding her suddenly realized that the monsters that they used that were passing by were no longer there.
Although it was raining, they should have seen at least small critters try to escape the rain but they could no longer be spotted. To more precise, the valley became silent and the only sound you could hear was the rain falling. Kabrakan did not think much of it but Levin Cloud had this eerie feeling that he has experience this somehow when he was with Adrian.
A few minutes later, they could hear footsteps but it was not like human footsteps in water because the sound was faint as if their feet was not sinking in the mud. It did not take long for the two to see their visitors were. They were scaled green bipedal aquatic person.
They looked like a cross between a frog and a piranha. They were walking in a normal human but with their hunched. Their eyes that resembled that resembled that of a fish moved in a weird way as it scans all the area around it. Their eyes then landed on the three on the church. A group of ten of them then suddenly charged towards the party.
When the two who were guarding Peridot saw that the amphibious creatures were charging towards them, they immediately went into combat mode as the eyes of the creatures were hungry.
