Episode 29.16
They reached floor 66 that day. No other weapon besides was dropped.
The day after, 16th of Month 1, they reached floor 71.
They got in three other rooms besides boss rooms.
At the end of the day, they had entered eight rooms, defeated 57 White Spectres and got 12 treasure chests.
There were four Grace Gear, , , , , and one Graceless long sword. From a brief test swing, the Graceless long sword seed to have the best balance among them. Though it's still not quite up there quality wise.
has the effect of blinding those it cuts.
makes its bearer's shape and presence beco harder to detect.
reduces the effect of defensive Grace when it's used to stab them. It's not particularly effective on equipped Grace Gear.
is a grace that adds an explosion on every strike. It's pretty powerful offensively speaking, but the hamr itself is awfully heavy, there's probably not many who can wield it.
They've gotten quite a lot of Grace Gear so far, but Lecan personally has no desire to wield most of them. Nevertheless he'd still like to find out these weapon's traits in preparation for battles with opponents who may wield them. Hence he has no plan of selling them for the ti being.
Arios has given his consent too.
Both Lecan and Arios have earned a lot at Dungeon Ninae.
He doesn't know the exact amount, but Lecan should have around ten pieces of Platinum Coins. Not to ntion many items that would sell for quite a lot of money in his possession.
Hence there's no rush to sell all these dropped items. Sa with Arios. But they plan to at least assess what they can get from all those items at the trading facility in order to settle the split later.
By the way, he hasn't seen any more success at . Floor 100 and beyond would be a pipe dream if he had to resort to the jewel on this floor. Lecan decided to rely on while also using this opportunity to hone the skill. But it's clear now that they can't afford to play around in combat any longer.
Perhaps it's ti to find more party mbers.
These new mbers simply need to keep these White Spectres at bay for a bit.
They don't have to beat them. All they have to do is help create a situation where Lecan and Arios can have a one-on-one with those beasts, or at least a one-on-two.
Lecan began flirting with the idea of visiting the diation Office.
They finished their expedition on floor 82 that day and went back to the inn.
Tomorrow is a rest day.
Besides eating, Lecan spent his whole ti sleeping.
(We're gonna hit a roadblock soon at this rate.)
(Nothing we can't beat with enough ti for now though.)
The problem is Grace Gear.
This dungeon spawns magic beasts that carry Grace Gear.
With no way of knowing when and in which rooms will they show up.
Fortunately, Arios is capable of correctly guessing which beasts bear Grace Gear.
However, he's clueless as to what kind of Grace those are.
Lecan managed to use on a magic beast in floor 62's boss room, but that was only because the opponent happened to be unmoving then, he could never replicate that thereafter. Moreover, the ti it takes to cast could have been used to cast instead, failing that ans wasting precious ti.
Fighting against Grace Gear bearers is tricky.
Parrying or blocking their attack with your weapon can be dangerous, even blocking with a shield is risky.
They might shoot out ranged attacks.
Even just one magic beast with that kind of Grace Gear being around will make the fight harder by an order of magnitude.
On top of that, there can be more than one Grace Gear-bearing magic beast in a room.
It's nothing to worry about in a one-on-one fight. He could just dodge their attacks before cutting them down.
But nine on two is tough, very much so.
And if there's ten of them, perfectly dodging everything will be infeasible.
Starting from floor 80, the move far swifter than before. Lecan can no longer lops their head off in one hit due to that fact. Not to ntion their sturdier armor.
As for the , as long as one of them manages to let out a growl, the rest can shoot out magic in rapid succession.
Lecan carries to block those attacks, but Arios has to rely on dodging everything. Yet that won't be easy in a confused lee. He's been managing to stave it off with his light armor for now.
A well-kneaded can kill a . But Lecan has found himself unable to find ti to shoot out on later floors. Even though his casting ti has been hugely shortened, kneading a still requires a slight delay. And the White Spectres around these floors won't afford him that ti. He could have taken so distance if the rooms were a bit bigger, but not when it's that cramped, they're too closely packed with the enemy.
He could also knead a before entering a room. However, the first strike is reserved for , to buy them a short period of ti. can be shoot faster, but it barely deals any damage to those spectres.
Floor 100s would prove difficult with just the two of them. That's for certain.
(Fumu.)
(Guess I'll go take a peek at diation Office.)
