With another week of preparation finally all the preparations for my second entry into the dungeon are ready. This time we intend not only to join a group but also go to vim and defeat the tenth floor guardian being more specific because according to my research a group of four to six elite monsters appeared on the tenth floor.
Last week we prepared several equips to improve the chance of completing the tenth floor, we got some useful magic tools to use inside the dungeon and some members spent their savings on some pieces of tier two matures. I did not do it I spent all my money and babble various points of the institute to rescue the materials needed to forge a bow elemental of level two for min.
Finally I can go back to using a bow I miss hunting like I did before, since I came to the institute and started fighting magical animals, magical beasts, monsters and humans using a common bow and arrows would be immutable against my current enemies.
I asked Lofar if he had any recommendations as he doesn't specialize in making bows he only makes regular arrows with a high quality he refuses to do a low quality job even when it comes to a level one arrow, though having few archers there is still a very high demand for arrows and javelins made with more common woods. I ordered my bow and two quivers of arrows from an elf artisan her name was Calen Greenglade she manufactures bows, crossbows and ammo for them and in the Ripening aria she manufactures light gears which are used by warriors who focus on speed so much to attack how much to defend yourself.
She manufactures des from level two equipment to level four she doesn't waste her time making tier one weapons and armatures and she avoids having too broad a clientele she prefers having fewer clients than precision weapons and more customized quality armaments. I understand why she chooses to run her business this way because although she is a great artisan she is also a formidable archer when Lofar told me about her qualifications he told me that she once killed a level four magic beast even though she had a core green.
This is quite an impressive feat even if I doubt she did it alone she must have penetration power in her arrows must be very high the only problem I don't know if it comes from her aura and element, an elemental art or yours equipment that she made herself. When I was in his workshop I was suppressed to see an arrow that was not exactly an arrow she was a magic tool in my eyes I could see a number of runes recorded both at the tip and the body of the arrow and I believe seeing runes up even within the arrow as if they flowed through the wood of the arrow's body.
Unfortunately I couldn't see straight inside the arrow because of the mana and elemental energy that were coursing through its surface. Calen must be a rune artisan impresses you to make a magic tool so complete in such a small body according to Professor Frey the difficulty of making a magic tool is multiplied by the size of the tool the more space to work.
There are runemasters who specialize in making small tools, there are some who even stop trying to make higher level tools the challenge of downsizing a magic tool is more important and satisfying than raising the level of their product. If it weren't for Lofar introducing me to Calen she wouldn't have wasted her time with a dark core warrior like me.
It only took two days to make my elemental bow and the two quivers with level two arrows even though they don't even have elemental material they are very resistant since I don't use too much aura and elemental energy on them they can be used a few times before bend or break I used the mana and wind element crystals to forge the bow as getting a fire resistant wood is beyond my current budget.
I ordered a short and curved bow for Calen even though he has a shorter range than a longbow he is better to use in a tighter place like the dungeon. In my current situation a close combat arc. Now with my new bow and arrows I doubt the dungeon monsters are tough enough to resist my arrows.
I was even tempted to buy a new ripe one, but I don't have enough money for that anymore. The quality of the rips that were on display in Calen's workshop were impressive not only provide a high defense but can also provide an increase in mobility, but when Calen told me the minimum price for a custom tier two elementary rip for me I was shocked. for the amount I will have to gather thousands of gold coins to finance this maturation.
I think a more realistic future and spend my money on a quiver of arrows elemental than trying to piece together the money for a amadura so extravagant .
When we discussed what our formation and strategy for the tenth floor should be we had to change our traditional formation because of the smaller and dark environment of the dungeon we decided that I would not be the one to lead the group. This task was assigned to Raziel with his advance in his control of the shadow element he and able to keep his support elemental art for a long time he can easily see in the dark and cover the team with a thin cloak of the shadow element .
Although this cloak doesn't leave the team completely hidden it allows us to spend more time without being born by the dungeon monsters the shadow element is really complicated when comparing the so-called primary elements like fire, wind, water and earth it is not very useful during the day, but in a place like the dungeon his strength greatly increases a warrior as weak as Raziel shouldn't be able to make something like an elemental cloak big enough to cover the team.
Now I understand why shadow mages are so important they must be able to make a huge difference in a war as a strong mage must be able to hide an entire unit of warriors at night. My role this time is to be the team's guardian archer basically my job is to kill the monsters that try to attack my teammates in their blind spots.
With my perception this is an easy job, but extremely important in a dark and closed place like the dungeon, the group tends to stay closer together to reduce the chance of the warriors being attacked from behind, but if the distance is very small between the members of the group this will decrease the group's combat ability.
The rest of the team will be positioned around min and Ingredi who will be by my side protecting our side will be the role of Sten and Erick while Torris is in front next to Raziel and this makes Hilda stay behind the group protecting any attack from our rear.
It didn't take long for Saturday to arrive and we entered the dungeon the sun was still rising in his when the seven of us entered the dungeon. We start directly on the sixth floor even though Ingredi is entering the dungeon for the first time the floor that a group enters is determined by the first person who went through the dungeon portal.
We were transported to a room twice the size of the one I appeared the first time I entered the dungeon, we automatically formed as we can be attacked the moment we enter the dungeon, but luckily on a floor with a low number the chances of being attacked are smaller so we weren't ambushed this time.
As I left the room and started walking down the dungeon corridor I used my eyes to look for the monsters nearby, but it didn't take long to find the monsters hiding in the dungeon walls their behavior hasn't changed on this floor only the amount that has changed has more of twenty monsters in front of us.
When approaching them the monsters didn't notice our presence because of the cloak formed by Raziel's shadow element that didn't take long to notice the monsters in front of us and that's impressive for him and it's really hard to see the monsters while they're hidden even for a shadow element user .
Before we reached the first monster Raziel made the signs with his hand to prepare to attack the monsters our strategy was simple but very effective. Raziel will undo the cloak and the rest of the group will light up the hallway to blind and scare the monsters, usually this is not very effective as monsters can only be blinded by a very strong light that is easy to spot in these dark but smoky hallways to Raziel's shadow element that strategy is functional.
And we also have a light cannon that Ingredi is in his hand and a very expensive magic tool that Ingredi and Hilda borrowed from his family he and a tool created for adventurers who decided to insist on exploring this dark dungeon. Generally after floor thirty most adventurers avoid entering this dungeon there are few who risk going deeper into a dungeon than the main difficulty and the darkness in the lower floors of level sixty not even magic tools are able to lighten the tunnels.
These levels can only be explored by a group of users of the shadow element, but the advantage of this is that after level sixty the monsters are not organized in swarms anymore but in small groups of two to five, but they are elite monsters and assassins. elementals. It's hard to find adventurers who explore the levels of dungeons that make their lives hell.
But anyone who is able to get into these levels will always be able to find rare materials that are ridiculously expensive as they have unique properties and the amount of them on the market is very small, even families like the Menfis and Vernos can't get these materials easily because it doesn't matter how much auro they have because most of those who take these materials out of the dungeon end up using them to strengthen themselves.
If you think about it, it turns out to be funny since adventurers who can take the rare material out of the shadow element need them to create their equipment or increase their cultivation.
But back to our monster slaying. When the ingredi light cannon illuminated the corridor I was impressed with the light that illuminated the corridor, but it was not the intensity of the light, but that it aviated strong particles of the light element. The light was so strong that it hurt the eyes of the people. monsters .
Being targeted by the light half of them tried to run away and only a few ran towards us only to be killed by Raziel and Torris .
I think this exploration will go more smoothly than I expected.
