Hearing Lilia's offer I was quite surprised not expecting her to be so straight forward.
"Well, that's quite the surprising offer, I didn't expect you to be so straight forward since we just met."
"Haha, well I learned my lesson of being alone at a low level and I don't really like to beat around the bush so do you agree."
"H-mm, let me look at your status screen and I'll agree as long as you're not dead weight."
Hearing my condition, she seemed a bit hesitant, but after a few seconds of silence she agreed.
"*Sigh* Fine you can look at my status screen, but you can't tell anyone about it. As long as you agree to that you can look, but I didn't expect you to have an analysis skill."
"Yeah, it's a part of an inherit skill."
"Really!? I didn't think that you would have one of those."
Inherit skills are rare skills which someone inherently has and is the cover that Lucious has decided to use if the need to reveal his skills ever arises. Inherit skills are extremely rare with only one in ten thousand people possessing inherit skills. Inherit skill users can possess a varying number and quality of skills with the record being 5 skills, but the more skills and higher the quality the rarer it is.

'Oh, a divine race? I didn't expect that she had one of those. Either way her stats are higher than mine in terms of the physical aspect except for agility so she won't be a liability at least.'
'The only thing I'm confused about is how she got overpowered? Even if you take into the account that all of them were level 25, she could have been able to kill one or two since her stats are nearly double theirs. That should have been enough to scare the rest of them off or at least make it seem like it's not worth the effort.'
"Your stats are definitely quite high, and you have me beat in terms of physical stats, but my agility, intelligence, and magic stat is higher."
"So, I take it that you agree to complete the dungeon with me?"
"..."
"Fine, I agree."
Hearing my agreement Lilia seemed happy.
[You have created a team with 'Lilia Ymir the divine thunder giant']
[All exp will be split between all team members]
[You have met the condition to unlock the first hidden effect of 'authority of greed: All mine!']
[All mine: why should you have to share anything? They're all just parasites! They don't even deserve scraps. It should all be mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! MINE!]
'That's quite interesting. I didn't even know that my skills had hidden effects.'
'Well, I should turn off the effect for now.'
[The hidden effect 'all mine' has been temporarily turned off]
"That's great! You can leave melee combat to me." Lilia said patting her chest.
"I don't need you to protect me." I said annoyed at the thought of needing to hide behind someone.
"I Know, I know, I was just saying I'm better than you at it, so I'll handle it."
"I don't appreciate the wording but alright, I'll leave the frontlines to you."
"I appreciate you trusting me." Lilia said smiling.
"Yeah, don't give it any mind. It's the least I can do." I said in a slightly softer tone.
"Then to a good partnership." Lilia said offering me a handshake.
After a second of surprise I took her hand returning the gesture. "Hopefully you'll gain enough levels to not slow me down."
"Hahaha, guess that's the best I'll expect from you."
"We should get a move-on now." I said as I started to walk deeper into the forest.
Soon after Lilia started to follow me as we searched for monsters.
-----
After around 25 minutes we ran into a hoard of six mad boars in a little clearing of trees around 20 meters wide.
"There are some boars around 40 meters ahead of us." I warned Lilia. "We should come up with a plan."
"Alright, fine with me but I'm bad at making plans. I'll probably just charge ahead and face them in combat."
"That's ok with me. Just distract or kill them while I circle and pick them off."
Lilia nodded as I activated shadow stealth and started to sneak around the boars.
Seeing this Lilia was astonished. "I didn't know you had stealth as well. Anyway, this will definitely be simpler since I don't have to worry too much on you being seen."
"..."
Ignoring her I continued to move till I found a position which gave me a good view of the entire area. Now I was simply waiting for Lilia then I would attack.
soon enough she charged towards the boars. She was completely covered in lightning, and it seemed that her speed was significantly enhanced by around 50 percent.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of a boar as she thrust her spear forward piercing them through, instantly killing them.
Lightning continued to spark off of her zapping two other boars and causing muscle spasms.
Taking this chance, she continued her charge as I fired two flame spears getting rid of the two paralyzed boars. Seeing this she ignored them and went for the remaining three boars.
The boars realizing they were being attacked became enraged and charged towards Lilia. As soon as they got within attack range, she changed her grip and used a large slash paralyzing all three.
Once that was done, she continued her charge piercing one of the boars and creating a large explosion of lightning killing the other two.
With the last of the boars killed I deactivated shadow stealth and started to approach Lilia.
"That was a lot easier than I thought it would be." She said. "I thought that there would be at least one mistake since It's our first time fighting together."
"It was pretty good for the first time, but it could have been better. Either way we should have a grasp of each other's style now."
"Anyway, let's see how much exp we have gotten."
[You and your team have killed six 'mad boars']
[Your exp has been split between all team members]
[You have gained 293 exp]
"Wait, why did I gain so much exp?" Lilia asked confused.
'I thought the numbers looked off but that confirms it.'
"An innate skill of mine allows me to gain more exp so it would seem that half of the bonus exp went to you.'
"Really!? That's so op! If I'm doing my math correctly you gain exp like ten times quicker."
"You would be correct, and It is pretty powerful." I said smug about my skills.
"Yeah, it is really powerful you could just kill all of the monsters and we could gain a lot more exp."
Hearing this I froze for a second before I turned my head in her direction and glared at her.
"I'm not carrying dead weight especially for free."
"Hahaha I was just joking around." She said amused at my statement. "Of course, I wouldn't expect you to do that. Especially since we're friends now I can't have you doing all the work."
"..."
"We should grab the corpses and go."
"Alright," Lilia said raping her arm around my shoulder. "Let's grab them then go off to hunt more."
"Get your hand off of me." I said annoyed.
"Fine, fine. I guess you don't like to be touched."
Ignoring her I started to walk further into the woods.
