17--- level of coming difficulties

It's a nice room in terms of death traps in caves.

From the relatively smooth ground, the cliffs rise into rough dome shapes. The stalagmites stab upwards from the ground, as if to greet the kiss of stalactites protruding from the ceiling. Tiny dots of light shine like stars, as if night has fallen, wrapping them up.

Sev looked around

Be in awe. This room is very similar to the first room of the dungeon, but with more stalagmites, covering almost half of the ground.

In the center of the room there are two creatures. They look like regular leopards if the leopard has black shiny scales instead of fur and metal teeth and claws instead of natural bones. At the moment, the metal panther was lying lazily on the ground, its tail and ears twitching.

"Alright," Maughan stopped everyone before they got too close.

"We call these safarirs. They're not hard to take down, but Sef, they're powerful. We will avoid them as much as possible and be ready for treatment. ”

+1 Intelligence

Wanderer, huh? Sev took a closer look at the strange leopards. If Mauen thinks these things are dangerous, then they must be insanely powerful.

"I'm in charge of the one on the left. Racine, Dean -- you're in charge of the one on the right. Sounds good, right? “

Dexin sighed. "It's going to hurt."

He's right. It hurts.

Just as Mauen had promised, he pulled the one on the left away and continued to dance around it, attacking it with quick strikes at every opportunity. Tak snatched the other Prowler, and Rasi

stabbed it in the ass. The cat-like creature screamed and struck it with its claws.

Dhi

's health was photographed in a split second. He fell to the ground like a stone.

Racine shouted hoarsely and ran up to pull the prowler away from his fallen son. "Sef, help him! Fast! Hurry up! “

Sev doesn't need to be told twice. He has focused his attention on Dhi

is in a state of paralysis. Radiant Dome.

The dome falls to the ground, but it will take some time for its effect to change. That's good, Seve

a

ce just hopes it helps Dhi

Recover faster. "Patching."

The skill stabilized and Dhi was restored

one-fifth of the energy bar. However, it still flashes red, Dhi

Didn't move. He lay like a comatose man. Very slowly, the red bar moves upwards in millimeters.

Except to wait, Seve

a

The CE can't do anything. Wait for the cooldown to end and wait for the Radiant Dome to do its job.

In his peripheral vision, Sev caught a glimpse of Maughn bouncing around his target, the expression on his face suffocatingly serious.

On the other side, Racine was less composed, and he actively pounced on his wandering cat with an astonishingly ferocious gesture. His movements are not as fluid as Maurne's, and he looks almost reckless.

Seeing this scene, Sef trembled a little in his heart. Racine is usually very calm, like a buoy in a storm. Now there is a sense of helplessness.

If he has a higher level and better skills, then maybe he can do better.

"Complement," he muttered, and finally, Dixin stepped out of the red. He began to stir, his eyes fluttering open.

“Dhi

! Racine's shouts were hoarse, but full of wild relief. The moment he looked at his son was a mistake. Forced out with a grunt, Racine received all the grievances of the "prowler". His health plummeted to the forefront. Unlike Dehin, he didn't fall, but he was just one sneeze away from becoming food for bugs.

Sev gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Can't these people let me take a break? How did they get through this place without paramedics?

Dhi

Jumped up and slashed at the wanderer with lightning speed. With a hiss, the prowler whistled away, teeth glistening. Racine was alone, his steps shaking. Blood oozed from his torn torso, splattering the ground crimson.

Sef stared intently, first treating Rahim, then switching between them. Whenever the radiant dome's cooldown ended, he put it on them.

Sev completely lost his attention to Morn, and he occasionally lost some HP, but still managed to stay in the green.

After what felt like an eternity, Dean gave the cat the final blow. It crashed to the ground, turned into sparks, and floated upwards towards the stalactite. Racine limped over to Dean and took him into his arms without saying a word.

Behind them, Maugne slashed the last bit of his prowler's health, but no one noticed him.

"I thought you were gone." Racine muttered to himself, hugging Dehin tightly.

Dhi

sighed. "I'm fine, Daddy. It's good. It did not break. “

Sev rubbed his chin. What didn't break? His bones? He turned suddenly, ignoring what was surging in his mind.

He's busy topping up everyone's health, leaving some room for Dean and Racine to give them a chance.

He had never noticed Racine's prolonged gaze at him, nor had he caught the moment when Maugne's cat finally collapsed in the purple sparks. The fact that this was the closest call in the entire dungeon still hung in his head:

"Are you alright?" Maugne asked, first to Dean and then to Racine for an important check-up. When both nodded, Mau

Let out a tired sigh. He rubbed the blood and dirt from his face with his hands, then rubbed his hair again, as if tidying himself up.

"Good. Then let's move on. “

They moved on.

They traveled down another narrow corridor, slaughtering more marble dragons as they could.

After that is a room from hell, as it has deep cracks and is just a black clearing, through which only narrow stone bridges can pass.

Maugne led them across the bridge and warned them to watch out for their heads. Sev wondered what the man was talking about, and Dean and Racine nodded. They knew what Mauen was referring to.

Sev looked around the room warily, then looked from the edge of a bridge into the crack below. Black deep.

"Be careful," Maughn exclaimed. "Don't get too close, they'll suck you in."

"What?" Sev straightened up and hurried over the edge.

Racine said with a smile. "He's just playing with you. There's nothing dangerous about those things. “

"Yes, as long as you don't jump in, it's fine. You have to be careful of those people. Dexin nodded upward.

Nervous, Seif raised his gaze. At first, he didn't see anything. Then his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

The ceiling is covered with sleeping bats. Bats are about the size of babies. When he looked at them, some of the bats were still shaking.

It made him nervous. "Will they attack us?"

Dhi

Shrugged. "Maybe?"

"It depends on the time of day," Racine elaborated. "If you come here at night, they're very active and you have to kill them all to continue. But if you're here during the day, like us, you'll probably be fine. “

Possible? It's really inspiring. He kept his eyes on the ceiling as they walked through the room. While some bat monsters are moving and shaking, none of them have left their nests. As they left the room intact, Sev let out a heavy sigh.

Racine patted him on the back. "Hold on, kid. We're nearing the end of the day. “

When Sef heard this, he immediately became excited. "Really?"

"Racine was right," Maugne said. "Just clean up one more room of dragons, and then we'll have big dragons to deal with."

Oh, that's great. That doesn't sound auspicious at all.

As the warriors entered the next room, Sef respectfully followed. This room is crawling with marble dragons. There's nearly a dozen, ha, they're walking around. Pair up in random patrols.

"It's easy," Racine said softly.

Seif grimaced. He's ready to put an end to this whole thing. It's tiring to keep these people alive.

Maughan nodded. "Two at a time, kids. Let's go. “

Despite Sef's expectations, it went well. By killing two at a time, they reduce the dragon's power with minimal health loss.

After dealing with the third pair. No treatment,

He was standing by. The father and son are slaughtering the dragons with ease, so Sef fires a few bolts at Maugne's chosen target.

+1 Intelligence

Congratulations, you have reached level 8.

Sev raised an eyebrow. It was unexpected, but if he got a form boost by using Usain Bolt, would it have to be through a few more times? Horrible thoughts, ha.

Maun's dragon didn't like to be hit by energy projectiles, and it squirmed sideways to dodge. But it was distracted, and Maughan easily tore its throat with a dagger. Its black blood splattered all over Maughan's chest. Then it fell sadly.

As its wreckage flew away like sparks, Maughan gave Sev an assessing look. Then he nodded and went to pull the next pair.

Sev blinked. Does Morn mind if he tries to attack as well? He knew that his bolts really didn't do much damage in comparison, but every movement helped, right? He shrugged his shoulders and hurried after him.

The remaining dragons were quickly dealt with. Sef helps Maugne deal with each of them, delivering electric shocks whenever he doesn't need healing. In any case, he argues, it's much better than standing there and doing nothing.

The last corridor is wide and well-lit, and at the end is a huge marble arch.

Before they arrived, Maugne raised a hand. "Let's stop here and take a break. Let's practice the troll's attack pattern. “

"What do you mean by attack mode?"

He sat down on the ground with his back against the wall.

He didn't have to waste extra energy trying to stand. In fact, he felt tired. It's more of a mental exhaustion, as this body never seems to be tired. "Hmm." The legs of the man in black passed in front of Seif, and Mauen was lowering himself and sitting beside him. Caught off guard, he just stared at the person, like seeing a whale knitting a pair of pants?

Maugne leaned his back against the wall, one long leg coiled and the other stretched out in front of him. He didn't seem to notice Seif's surprise. "You can think of it this way.

The creatures of these dungeons are all recycled. It's pretty much the same every time, maybe there is some difference in the number it produces, but the type of creature is always the same. The same is true of their behavior and methods of fighting. This allows us to simply learn the attack pattern, and the best way to deal with it. “

"A prepared warrior is a surviving warrior," Racine muttered. He leaned against the opposite wall.

Dhi

Squatting near his father, he chewed another piece of shoe skin jerky.

"Exactly."

"How many times have you been here?"

Racine smiled, his dark eyes glinting with humor. "A few times."

More than a few times, for sure. From what he saw, these people were not only very familiar with this dungeon, but also experienced warriors. They work together and cover each other. More importantly, they care about each other and show a sense of empathy and concern.

yes, I didn't expect to see this beautiful side from the killer!

Severance shook his head. "Isn't that a bit dangerous?"

"Perhaps," Maughan agreed. "Life is more fun when you are at risk. Ha ha. “

"If you die, you won't." Sev said flatly.

Maughan turned to look at him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. "There's something worse than death, Seif. Boredom is one of them"

"That's--" Sev interrupted himself. He was going to say it was stupid, but one glance at Maugne's grim smile made him choke back.

This person is a very powerful, very capable killer and tells such people that they are stupid? Unless you want to die?. Ha.

Maun smiled softly. "I'm going to take a look at Gemu's attack pattern right now. Listen carefully, Sef. “

He nodded hurriedly, silently thanking for the change in topic.

"First of all," Mauen raised his fingers, "Gemu has a wide attack. It lifts one leg and then stamps its foot, which creates a small earthquake. This will hurt everyone, so you need to be prepared for treatment. Next, it will spawn a lot of critters. However, they don't do much damage, and it doesn't take much skill to deal with them, but they must be eliminated as quickly as possible.

If the troll performs a stampede attack while the critters are still alive, they will explode, dealing more damage. “

"The kind of injury that would kill us all," Dhi

Helpfully threw a sentence.

"Yes." Maughan glanced at Dhi

"That's the most important thing to note. Secondly, there will be an energy discharge, which will be directed at a certain person. It will knock him to the ground, so you have to heal him. Other than that, it's easy. “

"That doesn't sound bad," Seif said slowly. It sounds like there are only two things he's really paying attention to. If he pays attention and heals everyone, then they will surely get through this without a hitch.

"No," Dhi

Say. "But that's where we usually fall, so you know, try to prevent that."

What is it? Panicked for a moment.

Racine patted his son on the back of the head. "Don't say that. We want to prepare him, not scare him. “

Smirking crookedly, Dehin stood up and took a few steps away from his father. "I'm just telling the truth, that's all."

"You stinky boy. Come here. “

"No, thank you." Dexin walked down the hallway to the door of the last room. He stopped, with a cheeky smile. "Are you coming?"

Racine let out a heavy, persistent sigh, like a parent struggling to endure a disobedient child.

“Dhi

--“

"Yes." Maughan stood up suddenly. "Let's get this done."

Seif complained to himself. Stood up. End of break.

It's time to kill the last enemy in the dungeon.
