Before being able to enter the dungeon I studied the equipment of the groups that were entering the dungeon in front of us, the queue might not be very long but we still had to wait a few minutes to enter the dungeon, if it wasn't a waste of money because I can see in the dark normally i thought i could buy a better flashlight for the group. Looking back on my past life I was reminded of night vision goggles and this would be a great product to market to break into a dungeon like the dark lair.
But I don't know how they worked in my past life and how I could modify how they work to create rune glasses that can see in the dark. It would be a revolution to fight in dark environments without having to rely on artificial light.
Entering through the dungeon's dark portal, my group finds themselves in a circular cavern that is twice the size of the last time and I can not only see the shows around us but I can hear them.
Ingredi, who is holding the flashlight, activates it as much as possible to illuminate one of the halves of the cave, with the light we can see that not only the cave that changed showed them, they also changed. I'm not even seeing a level one or two kobold or goblin, we're going to have to face wererats, it's a six-foot-long type of lizard.
The wererats are then equipped with various metal wires, but unlike those I found in the bloody arena they are not wearing even a ripeness other than a symbolic loincloth, although I didn't look at the contents of any of them to confirm, it showed no have sex so there shouldn't be anything to be hidden by a thong.
Even showed with the name of wererats they are not men, just as a harpy is not a woman despite having breasts that are usually uncovered. It seems confusing but when you remember that the shows are generated by the dungeon, you realize that they are nothing more than golems made of flesh powered by a magical gem.
The only difference between the golems made by the dungeon than those made by the mage is that the dungeon fans are golems with various organic materials and they have a better finish, giving the impression of a living and free creature like humans and magical beasts.
But going back to the horde showed that they are now attacking us from all sides, with Ingredi in the center of the group firing several water sprays and conjuring earth spikes to impale the monsters. Raziel and I are fighting in the dark as the two of us don't need the flashlight to see in the dark, while Erick and Sten protect Ingredi while Hilda is advancing using her spear to kill most of the shows attacking them from the front.
The wererats don't have a large natural defense to resist the offensive power of our attacks, but while their attack is simple and straightforward the lizards have a different strategy, despite their large size and weight they move quickly and quietly in protection. from the shadows.
They are crawling across the roof for us to attack porcine and break our formation and a few coming along with the wererats from the lightless side of our defense. As Raziel swings his whip, ripping through the flesh and destroying the wererats' skulls, I'm vying for my arrows to kill everyone who escapes his whip and also kill some of the lizards that are moving along the wall.
Thanks to the whip containing a huge amount of leftover element energy euthanasia that is strengthened by the environment, Raziel manages to maintain the defense on that side basically alone he just needs a little help, so I'm free to hunt the lizards his skin is tougher than the wererats, but the penetrating power of a level-three arrow fired by an aura-laden level-three bow, and more than enough for my arrows to pass without even a hitch across their hard skin.
At that friendly welcome, fly swatters a few dozen showed, the number might not have reached a hundred, but it was high enough to be a good warm-up in this cold, dark cave. With the coverage performed by Ingredi's spells the group had no difficulties for Plato to show them, but unfortunately this must have been the easiest fight we'll face in this dungeon.
As we made our way through the tunnels that were clearly bigger than the previous floors, we faced not only wererats and lizards that grew stronger as the group advanced through the dungeon, we faced giant spiders they were eight feet tall and eight feet wide. , our luck is that we didn't have to face more than two at a time and they were easily killed by the twins' magic and spear, they managed to kill the spiders quickly and prevented any member of the team from being poisoned by the spider's fangs.
We face shadowy figures, they are corporeal creatures that use the shadow element to attack adventurers, their attacks are from a distance is simple, they are arrows of the shadow element that corrode the flesh and metals that come into contact, killing this type of monster can be difficult because they have great speed and agility and upon being lit they escape it and if the three of them together they can release a concentrated shadow element mist to fight the light emerged by the magic lantern.
Even though the flashlight has some light element in the light it emitted, its light cannot resist the corrosive shadow element that is expelled by the shadowy figures, if we had a superior quality flashlight it might be able to withstand the black snow expelled by the shadows gloomy. And even though the fog doesn't work as a direct attack, if we didn't have the flashlight to clean it, the cave air would be polluted with particles of the corrosive shadow element.
This is one of the problems I will have to deal with since I am not a shadow element user like Raziel who is basically immune to this type of attack, only if the monster's shadow element is very strong and pure can the corrosive characteristic affect a user of the monster. shadow element.
The latest new monster is a golem made of earth and rock, they come in a variety of shapes, but the biggest difference with them is in their hands they range from mallets, claws, blades and a thick five-fingered hilt. Although they don't have a ripeness above their body their body is made of hard cone rocks settled by earth. My arrows are not very effective as the golem nuclei are in different positions within your body, they are not always located in the head or in the equivalent location of the human heart.
In one of the golems its core was in the center of its pelvis, and as my arrows have a penetrating power to pierce some layers of the golem's body, I would have to hit the golem core fully, even with my accurate vision I have difficulty to identify the precise location of the core which has a diameter of five centimeters.
During a fight the mana expelled from the core travels all over the body, but because of the aggressiveness and intensity of the mana coming out of the core I can only identify the location of the body the core is in but I can't locate its precise location at a great distance and in my combat, in a more peaceful situation and with fewer obstacles maybe I could kill a golem with a single arrow.
So, I could only mark the aria that his mana originates for Hilda, Torris and Raziel to destroy the golems and this must be decreasing the life of my arrows even more and better than screaming the body part that the golems' core they are.
But with this new variety of enemies the dungeon became much more complicated to pass, we had to retreat several times and adding the time spent to clear the larger floors my group is already more than thirteen hours in the dungeon before reaching the last portal to face the guardian.
After the last few hours, we are not only covered in dirt and blood, we are full of cuts and dents in our bodies and in our ripeness. Torries' shield is contorted after blocking so many attacks and even Hilda's spear, which is the most expensive direct combat weapon, was cut off, the blade at the tip of the spear has already lost its edge, we spent more than half an hour doing basic maintenance on our weapons.
Unfortunately, we can only sharpen our weapons, but weapons like Torris's club and Shield are dented in a way we can't fix in the dungeon. Torris will have to save some money to upgrade mainly his weapon to a level three, his club and basically a twisted piece of metal, even the dented shield still kept its shape showing its superior resistance.
While pausing to rest and repair the equipment worn out in exploring the dungeon floors, Ingredi had the opportunity to rest and regenerate some of her mana, but she still spent a lot of mana on the floors we passed. Even though she is able to regenerate mana during combat and with the support of her staff she is still low on mana to face the guardian on the next floor.
Only after resting and stabilizing the condition of the group members can we finally face the guardian.
