I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

After walking for 5 minutes they finally arrived in a massive open area that had no end in sight, there was a massive crystal on the roof illuminating the entire area acting as the sun.

"Amazing isn't it." Gerald spoke as she could see Shaman's and Elysia's shocked faces.

"How big is and how does it even fit underground." Shaman was now even more confused as the roof went higher and would be above ground.

"Ah, that is because when we went through the door we entered a separate space so think of it as a gateway." Gerald explained and Shaman instantly understood.

"It is very subtle." Shaman was amazed that the transition was so seamless.

"Well anyway we need to get hunting, we will be going for ogres in the swamp region." Gerald spoke up and pointed in a direction where a bunch of dead trees could be seen.

'Huh is this why we haven't received another movie of a particular ogre.'

The group started to move as the swamp was rather close so it only took 20 minutes of walking, after they arrived they could see a group of ogre's eating.

"They really do look like a typical game monster." Shaman muttered under her breath as they looked rather familiar.

"Okay everyone get ready for battle." Gerald spoke and everyone pulled out their weapons. Shaman took the vanguard with Max the minotaur, Elysia had taken the back with Jessica. Gerald stood behind Shaman and Max while Gemma took to the trees nearby.

Gerald signaled Jessica to shoot the ogres to get their attention. After firing the 7 ogres looked over with angry expressions and started to rush to the group.

Elysia took the initiative and fired a normal [fire arrow] with [power shot] killing one of the ogres instantly. The group were in awe as it was impressive to see. After waking up from their daze Shaman could already be seen running up to an ogre.

Shaman wanted to show off a little and so she slashed the ankles of the first ogre causing it to kneel on the floor. using the 2.5 meter tall ogre's back as a springboard she jumped up in the air and spun in the air. She activated [Slash] with her wind and fell beside the kneeling ogre decapitating it with her spinning slash. Shaman quickly dashed back to avoid the other ogres.

The group again was amazed to see the show.

"Pick up your jaws, there are still 5 more to go." Shaman spoke to wake them up as she did not want her newly acquired teammates to die.

"Oh yes." Gerald fumbled a little but regained composure. They began their usual protocol at attacking the ogres. Shaman and Elysia stayed back to watch and support when things were going a miss.

"I have to admit they are efficient even without magic." Shaman was analyzing the group's capabilities and was impressed that they were well coordinated.

"they are good but it would be much quicker if it were just us plus Wolfy is kind of useless without his shadows." Elysia was right as Wolfy without his Shadows would have just been a cute small Wolf so it was hard for him to fight ogres without it.

"Hmm, maybe we should use a shadow cloak and sneak in." Shaman thought of this but was thinking there was some way to detect her.

"We could try but I do not want to get caught." Elysia was a little anxious and would rather stay out of trouble.

"Do you know if stealth skills are common?" Shaman was unsure how rare or common things were so she had to be careful when using her skills not to reveal too much.

"I don't know but as far as I know there is nobody famous for their stealth abilities so I'm sure it is not common." Elysia had some knowledge but it was definitely not up to date.

"I think we need to buy some books and do some reading." Shaman had a droopy expression as she really did not want to spend her money on books.

"Oh well, it would be for the best if we know these sorts of things." Elysia had also resigned to her fate as it would be much more beneficial for them to learn.

"Anyway tonight I will try to sneak in myself and if I can enter and leave without anyone noticing we will start doing these just us 3. Plus I rather not involve other people as it could be putting them in danger." Shaman liked the group so it would be better if they did not cooperate more as it would do them more harm than good.

"True it would be sad that we would drag them down since we probably still have a target on our backs." Elysia had a sad expression as she also had grown fond of them as it was not often adventurers would be kind.

"Let's try to help them this run and make sure they return with a little bit of fortune just as a little gift." Shaman thought by giving them a boost would help them greatly and allow them to get stronger.

"That's a great Idea, Should we tell Gerald that we are going on a quick hunt on our own." Elysia's eyes glowed as she thought it was a great idea and if they were able to hunt on their own it would be a great opportunity to level up and get some cores for them.

The group had finally killed the last ogre and feel on the floor with exhaustion.

"Thank you for the help." Gerald looked at the 2 girls and was thankful that they helped but also did not interfere and take the kills.

"No worries, we know it is important for everyone to get experience so after the first 2 we stood back to make sure nothing went wrong." Shaman wore a cheerful smile as she could see Gerald's sincerity. Gerald had smiled as their group had been taken advantage of in the past by higher tiered adventurers and was glad that he had found some good hearted ones.

"Speaking of hunting, while your group rests, is it alright if me and Elysia go hunt on our own." Shaman knew that it would probably be a yes as it was relatively safe as not many monsters venture out of their territories from what she could see.

"Sure thing, just be careful and if it is okay come back in 30 minutes to an hour." Gerald was fine with letting them go as he did not want to hold them back but he also did not want them to be gone for long as their presence made them feel safe.

"Thank you~" with that Shaman and Elysia went deeper into the forest to kill some ogres.

*

Shaman, Wolfy and Elysia were on a killing spree as the sound of ogres dying could be heard throughout the swamp. Gerald's face paled a little as she knew they were strong but he was starting to question if they were even tier 3.

"looks like the swamp will be empty." Jessica spoke up with an awkward laugh.

"We might be able to finally fight some of the other beasts today." Max looked excited as he always was a fan of fighting but fighting ogres all the time got boring for him.

"True, we might be able to fight the orcs now." Gerald let out a smile as it felt like they finally made some progress in their lives.

*

On the other hand Shaman, Wolfy and Elysia had all leveled up. Shaman hit level 39, Elysia got 33 and Wolfy got level 30. Shaman had managed to raise her remaining skills to level 2, Shaman also allocated her points straight away.

[Attributes]

Intelligence: 150 ->170

Strength: 150 -> 170

Dexterity: 100 ->120

After collecting all the cores they made their way back to the group with 50 ogre cores in hand. They arrived back with a massive bag.

The group looked at them with shock as it was the biggest haul they had seen.

Shaman had put 35 of the 50 cores in the bag and gave them to the group.

"here are some of the cores, take them and sell them and use the money to improve yourselves." Shaman had a grin as the faces of the group were in disbelief and were pinching themselves to see if it wasn't a dream. Jessica started crying and ran over and gave Shaman a hug. Elysia froze a little as seeing the hug made her jealous, Shaman noticed the temperature started to drop and quickly pulled Jessica off.

"hey it's okay, I figured you guys have it hard so I just wanted to help you out a little that's all." Jessica had wiped her tears away and showed a smile.

"Thank you so much, we are forever indebted to you." They all bowed to Shaman and Elysia.

"I think we did the opposite of what we wanted." Shaman had whispered to Elysia as they now both had an awkward smile.
