In the end, Jake had to spend thirty thousand coins to buy the armors that granted him the wind, electric, and ice resistance. He also wanted to buy a sword with a nice effect, but he didn't find any. So, he decided to keep saving his coins for later.
"If you guys don't have tents, we can lend you so," Clark said. "By the way, which part of the watching want to take."
"The last one is fine," Jake replied.
"Are you sure? That is the most difficult one, you know," Clark said.
"I am fully aware, and I am thankful for the tents," Jake said.
Clark's group really ca prepared for the mission. Not only did they bring extra tents, but they also brought so provisions since Reptilians' at wasn't edible. They had brought salamanders at… it was quite spicy, so Jake liked it, and the girls sweated Bullets while they were eating.
Clark tried to liven up the mood for quite a while before so of the groups went to bed. Thanks to that, Jake realized that his teammates were quite quiet… Either they didn't have much freedom to do what they wanted during the missions, or they really didn't feel like talking with strangers.
Nevertheless, they went to sleep around nine in the evening, but Jake only sat inside his tent, and then he began to ditate. As if he would sleep soundly with a group he had just t… still, after just a couple of minutes, Jake began to hear Lana snoring. Her caution level was absolutely low… as for Louise, Jake couldn't tell if she was sleeping or not.
"Hmm… leveling up ditation is good and all for Mana Blade, but I guess I will train flas of wrath," Jake thought.
Jake couldn't use that extra mana without making noise, after all, so ditating seed like a waste of ti when his mana was full. In any case, Jake tried to see if his dark flas could go really deep underground, but they vanished before they could even reach half a ter of depth.
"It seems while the skill has no costs, the level puts a lot of limitations," Jake thought.
As he had expected, Jake didn't manage to relax and feel sleepy during that night. While he kept training Flas of Wrath, he also kept his eyes on the dungeon, but he never saw a single monster leaving since one of the groups was fighting them inside. Three hours after the first group entered the dungeon, they left, and Clark with another two entered. Thanks to that, Jake managed to relax a little since he imagined that they wouldn't do anything rash without their leader…
Three hours later, Jake woke up the girls, and then they headed toward the dungeon and took Clark's place. Louise seed exhausted, as if she hadn't slept. As for Lana, she was tripping on all the obstacles along the way since it looked like she was sleeping and walking at the sa ti. While they were going down the stairs of the dungeon, they t with ten or so reptilians, but Jake used Mana Blades to eliminate them, and Louise helped.
Once they reached the real interior of the dungeon, they found just a regular cave with nurous plants and vines covering the walls, just like the abandoned city outside…
"Sorry guys, if I make a mistake, please forgive . I am not a morning person," Lana said.
"We don't need to advance. This place seems good enough to fight them," Jake said. "Well, I think we can take it easy now since we can use those innate skills. Feel free to get so sleep."
"All right… call if you need so healing," Lana said and then put her back against the walls and quickly fell asleep again.
"Why don't you do the sa?" Jake asked. "You didn't sleep even a little bit, right?"
"I can't seem to relax," Louise said. "Aside from their leader, that group is too quiet, and your choices surprised ."
"No pain, no gain," Jake shrugged. "If you don't take risks, you can't make quick progress. Besides, while I also agree that we need to be wary of other humans, we can't just act under the assumption that they are trying to screw with us. That has to happen at least once before we have any real reason to act like that."
Louise knew that it made sense, but now that she had experience in dealing with people that seed too good, she couldn't help but raise her guard. Fortunately, Jake knew well how to deal with others that he didn't trust completely, and he had the steel nerves not to show that.
"So, how are you planning to proceed with them?" Louise asked.
"I am going to ask where their guild is, and then I will check the area around to see if he had told the truth about other guilds," Jake replied. "If he told the truth, then it will be safe to approach. If not, then we can pretend that we never t them. If he avoids the question and asks where we are to pick us up, that will be suspicious, and I will lie to him."
"It makes relieved to see that you really were just acting back then… for several monts. I thought you were really considering joining their guild for no reason," Louise said and then forced a smile.
"You guys really have a low opinion of …" Jake frowned.
After a while, they decided to focus on the monsters since Lana was sleeping and the dungeon wasn't that large. Jake hoped that they would obtain so nice items, but his guess was wrong… he only obtained crappy items, but at least he managed to master the armors he bought. He also decided to keep wearing the one that granted him resistance against electric attacks since its wild design and light green tone suited his tastes. When Jake got bored because of that, he let the Reptilians hit him with Water Balls in order to do so training where he tried to repel their attacks with Flas of Wrath.
