Chapter 4 The First Murder

In order to kill time, I remembered that the system allowed me to view my own status and immediately opened the corresponding window.

The status window was not happy with the abundance of traits. The lack of wisdom and intelligence, however, was disconcerting. But as they say, you don't look at the parameters of a system.

Some time later, having had a break and enough to talk about, the ladies went to the exit of the cave. Thanks to the conversation I overheard, I knew that most of them would be heading to the nearest town.

Only a warrior named Lydia and a sorceress named Anna, whose husky voice I had heard before, would remain in the camp at the entrance to this network of caves. But in a few hours, the others would return with reinforcements to search the caves and retrieve some of the demon's treasures that he had hidden somewhere nearby.

At the same time, I finally learned the number of my opponents. As it turned out, there were three women and one elf among the rescued. And among Julia's companions, in addition to the sorceress Anna, the archer Lumiel, and the warrior Lydia, there was a priestess Augusta.

After sitting in my hiding place for a while, I received a new message.

Mission completed.

The skills "healing" and "cleansing" have been obtained.

Realizing that the Beauties were safely far away, I quickly left my hiding place. I used the remaining time to find a way out of these caves, passing a few enemies on the way. The system didn't give me any new tasks, apparently deciding that I had mastered the world enough.

Finding my way out of the cave wasn't so easy - I almost didn't pay attention to the corridors I was running down to my hideout. But I remembered in time that you can get out of almost any labyrinth if you stick to one wall at a time. The method worked, and I finally came to a hall with a tunnel leading to the surface.

As I cautiously crept along it to a bend, I saw that the entrance was a short natural tunnel high enough for me to walk through without ducking.

Its floor was relatively flat, and the passage itself was shaded by a stone canopy overhanging the outside. On the other side was a brightly sunlit forest clearing, littered here and there with boulders. A fire was burning in a clearing not far from the entrance, and two figures were sitting around it.

One was a tall, shapely woman in a long, tight black dress. It emphasized its owner's many charms with open shoulders, a huge cutout in the front of the top, and slits on either side of the skirt.

A translucent dark bra was visible in the neckline, supporting a large breast, the size of which was no less than Julia's tits. Cutouts on the sides of the skirt reached almost to the hips, dividing it into two parts and giving a wonderful view of shapely legs in patterned black stockings.

 The beauty wore calf-high black boots with long heels and a wide-brimmed hat. Her loose black hair fell well below her ass. Her attractive face with light makeup made her look like a mature, experienced woman. Judging by the nearby dark wooden staff with a glowing crystal at the top, she was a sorceress named Anna.

Her companion was a golden-haired, blue-eyed girl. She was graceful, a little below average in height, and had obviously recently come of age.

Her breasts were just below average in size, and her clothing consisted of a tight leather skirt with a belt, knee-high brown boots, and a short shirt of thin, translucent silk that was knotted in the front, revealing her narrow waist and taut stomach.

Her hair was in a braid that reached down to the middle of her back. She was armed with a medium-length sword, the scabbard of which lay beside her. Judging by the long belt, the sword used to be attached to the side of the warrior's waist, but she had removed it so it wouldn't get in the way of sitting.

The beauties chatted sweetly, occasionally glancing at the bushes that surrounded the clearing and the entrance to the cave. Thanks to the shadow of the canopy, they didn't notice me. However, I didn't risk lunging at them with my bare hands without preparation.

I walked to the hall a few times and picked up some large stones near the exit. My first throw went to the sorceress, who I thought was more dangerous.

However, I didn't realize that she could put up a magic shield. So my stone just bounced powerlessly off the invisible barrier. The beauties were immediately alarmed and turned to me, jumping up from their seats.

I started throwing the remaining stones at the sorceress as fast as I could (she remained standing), realizing that breaking through Anna's shield was my only chance to win. Meanwhile, the warrior ducked and ran toward the cave, her naked sword in her hands. And the sorceress pointed her staff in my direction.

«Fireball!» Anna shouted, and a ball of fire flew in my direction.

I was lucky - the sorceress didn't hit me and the magical projectile went into the tunnel behind me. But her magical shield finally ran out, and the last stone I had left hit the woman right in the cleavage between her breasts. Anna stumbled and fell into the fire behind her. Her long hair went up in flames, and she fell out of the fire screaming, rolling around on the ground trying to knock the flames away.
