As the group ascended to the second floor of the dungeon, an eerie silence enveloped the air. The dimly lit chamber was filled with a sense of foreboding, hinting at the imminent danger that awaited them. Sebastian tightened his grip on his bow, preparing himself for the upcoming battle.
Roland stepped forward, his hand clutching the Evaluation Stone. "Sebastian, before we proceed, let me show you the true power of this stone," he said, his voice filled with determination. "It will help us assess the strengths and weaknesses of our enemies, giving us an edge in battle."
Curiosity sparkled in Sebastian's eyes as he nodded in agreement. He watched intently as Roland activated the Evaluation Stone, projecting a holographic image in front of them.

Sebastian took note of the Umbral Spider's physical attributes. Its considerable size and shiny black exoskeleton stood out, hinting at its otherworldly nature. Unlike common spiders, these creatures were imbued with shadowy energy, moving with elegant stealth in their dark surroundings. Their dark silk webs allowed them to ensnare their prey with ease, and they could also use silk threads to move and climb surfaces.
The Rat Shadows, on the other hand, resembled regular rats with their dark fur and intense red eyes. However, they were larger and more aggressive, displaying swiftness and dexterity in the darkness. At level 4, the Rat Shadows were slightly stronger than the previous foes they had encountered. Their agility and strength were heightened, allowing them to move swiftly and deliver more powerful attacks. Nonetheless, their endurance and defense were still relatively modest compared to more formidable creatures.
As the Evaluation Stone displayed the information, a rustling sound echoed throughout the chamber. Two sets of gleaming eyes emerged from the shadows, revealing the presence of Umbral Spiders and Rat Shadows. The battle was about to begin.
Markus, the group's tank, stepped forward, his shield raised in a defensive stance. "Sebastian, stay behind us and provide support from a distance. Liam, be ready to strike when the opportunity arises," he commanded, his voice steady with authority.
Sebastian nodded, positioning himself slightly behind the adventurers. He notched an arrow on his bow, ready to unleash his botanical prowess. The tension in the air grew palpable as the monsters approached, their dark forms skittering closer.
With a swift movement, the Rat Shadows lunged forward, their sharp claws aiming for Roland. Markus intercepted the attack, deflecting their strikes with his shield. "You won't lay a claw on us!" he bellowed, his voice filled with determination.
Sebastian, seizing the opportunity, aimed his arrow at one of the Rat Shadows and let it fly. The arrow found its mark, piercing through the monster's hide. It screeched in pain but quickly regained its composure, its red eyes burning with fury.
Meanwhile, Liam darted through the chaos, his daggers flashing in the dim light. He struck with precision, his blades finding vulnerable spots on the Rat Shadows' bodies. The monsters retaliated, but Liam's agility allowed him to dodge their attacks effortlessly.
The Umbral Spiders, with their stealthy movements, tried to encircle the group. But Roland, relying on his enhanced strength, swung his sword with mighty force, slashing through their exoskeletons. The clash of steel against chitin echoed in the chamber, punctuated by the adventurers' battle cries.
Sebastian, using his knowledge of plants, unleashed a cloud of toxic spores toward the Umbral Spiders. The spores clung to their exoskeletons, weakening their movements and impairing their senses. The monsters writhed in agony, their elegant grace now reduced to a desperate struggle.
The battle raged on, each member of the group fighting with unwavering determination. The monsters fought fiercely, their dark presence casting an ominous shadow in the chamber. The air was filled with the clash of weapons, the creatures' screeches, and the adventurers' shouts of encouragement.
As the battle reached its climax, the adventurers' resilience prevailed. The Rat Shadows and Umbral Spiders fell one by one, their bodies lifeless on the chamber floor. Exhausted but victorious, the group stood united, their hearts pounding with adrenaline and triumph.
