Collin sighed at the quest log.

"All of the stuff we went through and still no progress.."

Ronald sighed but then reminded Collin about the cigar store. So they decided that that will be their next stop.

So after everyone recovered and prepared their stuff they were ready to head out once more. Collin found out that robo-bird became level 2 and steel boar reached level 3.

So the party once more walked through the ruins and rubble of the village. With their weapons ready to unsheathe, they arrived at the cigar store and they entered.

There were multiple racks still filled with items. But they mainly were magazines and books. But thanks to this it was quite easy to collect the thirty papers they needed. They decided to take all they could find just in case they need it for other recipes. Which resulted in 80 papers. But even after they emptied all of the shelves. They couldn't find the pen. Which was obviously the hardest to find. Because it also needs to work. They already threw away several empty husks.

So they decided to go to the back of the store. At the storage room to look for the one pencil they needed. But well as they should have expected the storage was being patrolled by more enemies.

However this time around they weren't animals. They were humanoid creatures strolling around with their little wheels under their feet. Arms carrying small swords and a few at the back carrying bows. Head was smaller then that of a human and it got some small horns which were going to the back of their head. Their whole body was a gray color only their eyes were two glowing orange eyes scanning the surrounding area constantly.

The trio looked at each other and told each other to prepare themselves. Everyone readied their weapons and healing pots to quickly drink it when necessary.

And they stormed in, of course the patrollers right away noticed them and readied their weapon and the melee imps went to the front and ranged imps stood in the back. While Collin was investigating them he saw they were called less-Im-01P. So they just referenced to them at imps instead. There were three melee imps and two archer imps.

The archer imps right away sent arrows at Sophie, targeting the mage first because of their low def. However Sophie managed to make a shield on top of herself in time. This was a spell she learned recently. A big iron sheet appeared on top of her reducing the incoming damage. While it costs 5 mana much like the gyro ball, she had 12 now. Her regen isn't extremely low either so she can stay alive for a bit but if the archers keep targeting her, that of course would still be bad for her health. Nonetheless she only lost about 3 hp after this.

The three melee imps targeted, the boar and the bird respectively. Making the bird lose about 4 hp and the boar about 2. Then it was the golden chance's turn.

Sophie paid the archers back by throwing a gyro ball at them which did a good 8 DMG to the left archer. She then went into guard to recover some mana. Collin commanded the bird to attack the non damaged archer. Dealing about 5 damage. While the boar charged at the middle melee dealing about 3 DMG. Ronald doing his regular attack on the right melee imps dealing 2 damage and Collin did a wrench toss at the right bird dealing only 1 DMG even with 15% ignoring def. He really needs to increase his ATK sometime soon.

The group of imps however did something strange instead of targeting multiple people. They solely focused their attacks on the tank. The boar simply wasn't prepared for this and the outnumbering was him too much. So the steel boar exploded, all it's opponents being shattered all over the place.

Golden chance just lost their tank. They really need to be careful now. As it was now their turn again. Collin looked through his options. Because of his low ATK even with the extra stat point invested into ATK. He would still do only 1 damage even with the smash.

Then he found out yet another feature he didn't know. He actually was able to summon his robots at home if there is a free spot in the selection. Even if your in battle it simply takes a few turns. Luckily with robo-rat being a weaker minion it only takes two turns including this one. So that's what he did and then he stood at guard. Commanding the robo bird to attack the weakened archer. Which resulted in it's destruction. Just four left now!

Ronald vanished and hits a backstab at the other archer. Dealing three more damage.

Sophie was still regenerating her mana so that she can fire another volley next turn.

With that it was the turn of the imps. Who this time decided to target Collin. Several slashes and a arrow hit Collin. Making him lose 15 HP. Only 7 hp was left, one more volley of attacks on Collin and it is over…
