I have cleared this dungeon countless times during my gameplay and as the experienced one I fully am aware about the top to bottom of this little hurdle.
The difficulty of this dungeon is designed to be unbeatable by the first years in the first place however, the core of this dungeon means, the principle it works is based on [Buff System].
'More the monsters, better the way. Since if we don't get enough buffs before going against the boss one will be dead in seconds.'
"The best...route? How do you know that?"
"Yes, I know everything." Puzzled by my answer Coco didn't pry any further instead gripped his staff and I said, "It seems like there are already quite a few guys to greet us."
The blurry figures immediately bolted using the darkness to their advantage, 'They are lizardmen, so the most effective spell against them is!'
"Maagika`s Mazii`l! Magic missile!'
The magic missile had little effect on the opponent as I had excepted and it was my turn, "Fireball!"
The bright red ball of firey light entirely illuminated the space as I got the look on these lizard men before succumbing under my spell, "Fireball!" "Fireball"
"Agi'ni ay`edu`m! Fireball!"
Seeing the effectiveness of the spell Coco also followed suit and the process of dealing was easily accomplished without even me withdrawing [Dark fallen] towards them.
"It's really impressive! Young Master Ares how are your spells come alive without incarnation!"
"Well, it came as a bonus for me being born!"
"Wow, wonderful!" This partner was such an airhead he didn't even recognize that I was simply trying to boast.
A small circle filled with glyphs suddenly revealed itself at the place after the death of these monsters and Coco's shout filled the space, "A BUFF CIRCLE!"
"You know about that, well this saved a lot of time for me."
"Young master, you know about this!"
"I have already mentioned I knew everything. So, it is all right with you if I have this buff right?"
"Yea, you plan to take turns for the upcoming buffs also?"
"You got that, then here I go."
After replying to the skinny boy I infused a bit of my mana in the glowing ring, the circle turned red, and "Oooooo..." with a loud vibration it evaporated in the air.
"Are you done?"
"Yes."
As I swung around my arm Coco again asked, "How is it do you feel anything?"
"Well, there doesn't seem to be much change, after all it's a damage reduction buff."
This was the reason why I intended to take this buff for myself in the first place after all even if it's not an active buff its efficiency is a whopping 90%.
'Actually, this is already game over.'
A 90% damage is very overpowered even if several groups of monsters gang upon me they won't be able to do a considerable amount of damage, but this isn't good enough to go against the dungeon boss.
"Let's go, Coco! And devour all the buff present in this dungeon."
--------------
"With this, it's already the sixth buff for you, young master! Do we still have to go around and look for buffs instead of challenging the boss!"
"Six buffs huh?"
As I replied I ordered the system to display the positive stats since I was currently in the battle mode it was possible to do so.
[90% Damage Reduction.
30% Speed Enhancement.
20% Mana Enhancement.
10% Mana Enhancement.
50% Strength Enhancement.
10% Overall Buff.]
Similarly, Coco had also received 6 buffs like me and the last one remaining was only the [Self Heal] buff and we were currently moving along to get that.
"We seem to be doing well, what do you think the other teams are doing?"
"They are probably mourning over the debuff they have got by now."
"Debuff, but we don't seem to be encountering any of them!"
"Just cause, I am knowledgeable and aren't activating debuff magic skills."
Knowledge, my ass. This is basically a cheat route filled with only advantages, if things were normal it would have been Lacqurez who had gained access to this fortunate path.
'Pitful Lacqurez, I do hope you won't suffer choosing that path.'
In the game, there were three choices the fortunate route, the moderate one, and the crazily tough one.
"Young master Ares, is this the place?"
At her words, I couldn't help but smile, 'Eventually, we arrived at the final buff area huh?' After examining the territory for a moment I heard a strange noise from the depths.
"KRRR...KRRR!"
"Wait a minute, you didn't hear that strange sound?"
"Huh, what are you talking about."
Perhaps Coco didn't hear it, but this voice strangely felt very familiar as if I had heard it countless times.
"Grrr...,"
As we drew closer to the entrance with each passing moment the sound also kept echoing more and more, "Ah! I hear it too. Young maste-!"
I swiftly moved and blocked Coco's mouth preventing him from speaking any further words.
"Come out you all, rat bastards where are you all hiding huh!"
'It's the dragon, the GREEN DARGON.'
The dragon inside the entrance peeked out and searched for something fortunately, we had already moved behind a large rock.
"Is that the boss?" Coco whispered which I remained silent to, 'Hope we don't get caught, it will be really a hassle if we did get found out. It will be tough to deal with that girl in that form also.'
"Hey, could it be we have to defeat that thing?"
No, it wasn't a monster. The one who had currently transformed into the dragon is none other than...
