The chest dropped by the boss monster had so good stuff.
[You got a Pair of Silken Pants (??)!
You got a Flawless Ruby!
You got A Black Steel Axe (???)!
You got 1200 Gold coins!
You got antique furniture!]
[You cannot gain XP because of a curse!
Because of the experience gained in Athleticism, Bloodless gains 210 XP!
Because of the experience gained in Appraisal, Bloodless gains 150 XP!]
The antique furniture can be sold or used in a property to increase value. I will keep it for now.
The pants are a godsend, but I don’t want to risk putting a Mystic (that is what the two interrogation signs an) and it being cursed.
But we did not loiter for too long. We started our walk again to explore the rest of the dungeon. We need to find the exit by climbing up again.
"Where are all the monsters? This dungeon is boring!" Aurelia says while walking just a few ters behind with her arms behind her head.
"You could stand in front of !"
What good is having a broken summon if she is staying in the back line!
"I am not giving you a free pass; you need to train your skills again."
"These monsters are way above my capacity! I will be killed in one hit!"
"Coward." Both girls say.
As we explore the halls, it is extrely empty. I did not notice the lack of monsters. Normally, these levels are cramped with several types of enemies ant to cause problems to well designed builds and trained characters. Danger level 30 is when things get serious. But we have found nothing.
As I open a door, expecting nothing, in the end of the room I see what we were looking for. Stairs that go up!
"Finally!" I say in frustration and start to walk in.
"Watch it." Aurelia talks.
I stop and sothing falls just in front of .
I imdiately cast [Magic Shield] on myself in response.
What fell in front of attacks with sharp claws and hits the magic barrie, it pushes a couple of ters.
[Dark Crawler (10) hits your [Magic Shiel]! It shatters the barrier!]
"Shit! Attack!" I order Aurelia.
"Nah." She says.
I notice there are two.
Dark Crawlers are creatures that seem to have gone through so weird mutation. Brown skin, deford face, red eyes, mouse-like ears.
Both hiss at
"Shit!" I curse and then I use [Firebolt].
[Your bolt of fire burns the Dark Crawler! It is extrely wounded (-2850)!]
One more hit and it could be killed. Extrely wounded signified it received more than half of its HP in damage.
The second Crawler jumps at !
"[Primal Guts]!" Aurelia yells.
[You feel stronger!
You feel faster!
You can dodge more easily!
You feel more vigor!
Your wounds heal!]
"Ah!"
I react and jump to the side, dodging the attack completely.
The other one attacks, but jumps at Aurelia. Who simply grabs it by the neck and throws it towards . I managed to get out of the way.
"H-hey!" I scream, as I dodge another attack. The buff spell is doing wonders!
"[Spirit Booster]" Aurelia casts again.
[Your Magic reserves increase!
You recover so MP!
You recover MP at an alarming rate!
You understand the arcane with more ease!]
I see my MP jump to a maximum of 8750 and I recover to 30% of that, and is starting to recover faster!
I cast [Icebolt] this ti.
[Dark Crawler gets chilled from your bolt of Ice! It is mortally injured (-4570)! It dies!]
The second one hisses at , and lunges.
I squint my eyes.
"[Inferno]"
[You shoot a torrent of fire! Dark Crawler is caught in the flas! It is mortally wounded (-5421)! It burns to a crisp!]
The fire subsides. I take a bit of air and get back on my feet... Only to fall back into the hard floor.
"God dammit! Why didn’t you do that earlier?!" I ask Aurelia.
She is leaning against the wall beside the door.
"I needed to check if you were really that weak and holy shit... You really are."
I look at her angry.
"I could have died..."
"Maybe... But I wanted to see how big the damage was." She gets straight and walks closer to . "You know, its odd they decided to let you live. They could have just finished you, yet they decided to take you here. Even when they had no way to consider your sword and , that is still a bad gamble."
"Don’t change the subject..."
"Okay, you dick. I wanted to test how much you really need and I can see you are weak enough to get scared. It is true I can keep you alive, but what good is that going to do to you? When I t you you were a badass bitch that could take a Mammoth’s horn and then blast its ass back to the trifecta with only one spell. Now you are reduced to your sword leveling up. I was just making sure I knew how much help you need from ."
All of that was what Amber did in the ga, not actually .
I sigh and she gives her hand to stand up. I take it and she does indeed help up. I fix my shirt.
"Just don’t take that long to do that."
"Okay, you are the mayor bitch in this situation."
She has a smug smile on her face. I find it hard to believe.
[You cannot win XP because of a curse!
XP turned into Ego experience!
1450 XP from Spell Weaving!
340 XP from Magic Control!
399 XP from Dodge!
DING! Bloodless gained a level!
DING! Bloodless gained a level!
Ego level increased from Level 4 to 6!]
[Because of the experience gained, Bloodless gets [Dodge 5]!
Because of the experience gained, Bloodless’s [Spell Weaving 2] turns into [Spell Weaving 4]!]
Well, at least, I got sothing from that. If Aurelia continues being helpful, I will be able to continue living... I hope as I can see her smiling back at ik a wide grin as we go up.
