METIS POV
Looking at my real money in the system, I used 5 million for the book and some other things. However, I can't showcase my skill. I just don't want people to know that my system is unique, even after admitting to Anna that my system was really broken at that time.
"Carl, I want to lead the team, can you let me?"
"We are in a critical situation! Do you really know what you're talking about?"
I notice Carl looks haggard, like a horse that has been running for days without stopping. Still, if I don't use my skill, I can't let my full potential go to waste like this.
"Yeah! I look into his eyes! I'll prove myself!"
"I see, you've started to change, you know. When we talk about someone, it was said that you were suffering from something, but now you really seem like a new person compared to when I first saw you in the dungeon."
What has changed in me? Maybe others sometimes know you better than yourself.
"Then we will go!" Carl taps me on the shoulder.
Then we start; I walk at the front of the group. Everyone is whispering, like I was a mistake.
"Hello, glory of light! We are struggling and want to get out of this dungeon. Even if you are not talking to me and more, please follow what I say because today I will tell my class! I was a commander, a strategic class similar to the tactician. In this battle, follow me. I can enhance your attack and help us get out of this dungeon."
Everyone is silent, but I know. Elina is even crying, like she's a mother who had a son who just graduated.
"Long-range group, buff group, tank group, melee group. Please group yourselves."
"System mission start!"
They are not balanced; we almost have no tanks, only 3 but almost mages and buffs.
I readied all my grimoire healing, revive, and more; I spent almost 4 million on it.
We walk to floor 25 and pass through the Porcelain Kingdom.
[Defeat – the boss spider] following the mission guide arrow. Pointing at the 3 meters wide hole, it's like an illusion that you can't see from any angle. But if you get close, you can see this corner has a secret passage.
"We've arrived, put on buffs and anything."
Even though they have already cast the spell, I make them recast and rest for 10 minutes.
I can see everyone's mana and health; it's all full.
Buff is not started unless you are in a battle state; then it will just count.
Buff for use is active, not passive. Like buff for speed and others, but it buffs only skill enhancer damage.
I can see the "Tarantula Queen Broodmother!" It has a name level 115.
[Health: 8000/8200, State: Sleeping]
This is all I can see.
"The level gap is too big; how can we win?"
My legs are trembling, but I stand. I think it's better now to walk in a normal route, but we are here.
We are almost all only level 30-40, and add me that's level 24. The cook is higher than me; he's at level 33.
The big spider is hairy, and it's so big. Looking at the ceiling, there are so many webs. I think that is her leg. Is this monster just finishing its birth for the eggs in those webs?
Then I have a strategy as I command everyone.
Tank, aggro-mage-skill at a distance, and melee with the tank as a partner, and buffs circling.
Then with my hand sign, fire!
TOTAL MASTERY ENCOUNTER!
The web egg falls to the boss monster, then it wakes up.
"Attack tanks!"
"CASTLE HOWL! - Taunt skill*"
TOTAL MASTERY ENCOUNTER!
"We can see its health bar!"
"Merchant Bargain! - Skill Merchant"
Reduce magic armor.
"Mage!"
TOTAL MASTERY ENCOUNTER!
It seems like you're writing a captivating story! Here are some edits and improvements to enhance the flow:
"Kishiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
"The monster sounds so creepy as hell."
The buff group is consciously buffing everyone!
The spider punches the tank. The two are sent flying to the wall,
"Heal! Purify!"
Who the hell uses praise on a tank?
I can see that they are not dead; they have ¼ health.
"Even the basic attack is painful!"
"Guardian Angel! - 5 seconds invincible state for the tank but unable to move."
"Melee, attack the legs!"
TOTAL MASTERY ENCOUNTER!
The tank, in that invincible state, holds his ground.
"Swordslash! Quickslash, hypnotic punch…" They almost use every skill.
Then it starts to change its color.
[System: Dangerous!!!! Oh, attack!]
"Retreat!"
The spider web sticks to the ceiling and retracts itself, hanging by a thread. Then the spider blows a laser beam from its mouth, as if it were a web.
The center where the tank and melee were blown up!
Then, as the buffer, they again use reduce speed on the spider, reduce attack, add speed, damage to the allies, but it feels like we are ants.
Then the two tanks go back. I can see the tanks fighting back. Even if we use our skills, we can't win like this. As the two tanks use their trump cards, making themselves invincible, one after another.
3 are dead! The spider hangs, seemingly resting and doing nothing.
But as we look at the monster's health [7400/8200], even after using almost all the skills, we can't do anything.
I open and let out Princess Porcelain.
"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh! No, I don't want to die!" She trembles.
"Help, use everything grimoire I have!"
"Okay, give me!"
I'm such an idiot; I should have told him to help us. I have a pet to support me, but I didn't think of it.
She opens the system and pulls out all the grimoire.
"Looking at the team guild, they are crying!"
"Wahhhh!!!!"
"System, help!" I cry. I can't do anything... I plead to the system.
The shop skill opens alone. The very last skill has an arrow pointing to a tutorial in the games.
[Sword Skill(Legend) – A sword skill that gets stronger as the battle goes on. Price – 5 million]
I bought it.
Next, into the grimoire - sword technique
[Sword Dance of the Twin Dragon(Mythic) - The dance through the heavens and slices through the heavens, no time to skill as long as the enemy must be killed at all costs! (Price - 500 thousand)]
I bought it.
Then next, into another grimoire - mana skill
[Magnetic Mana(Mythic) - You are the center of the mana, extract mana to the nature and gather it to the body. This is a 1-hour effect (Price - 400 thousand)]
I bought it.
[System wants to overdrive the user]
["Master, let me use your body, and I will defeat it"]
"What!? Okay, okay, how?"
I'm looking for a yes button for it, but I can't find it?
"Where is the button?"
Then the spider landed on the tanker, and Carl was bitten; half of his lower body was eaten by the spider.
Then next, it goes to the buff group and range group.
"No! You cannot! This monster must be killed!"
"Kissshiii* kishiiiiii* It's like a spider just eating its prey on the web.
[System: Overdrive – the body will be automated by the system]
"I don't care! Kill it! The boss monster is too overpowered! How can we kill it!
[Null: Emoti error, UI is full]
[System reconnecting...]
[System reconnecting…]
[System reconnected successfully]
"I can't breathe!"
Then all is black! Did I die?
I don't know what happened...
'Anna, get off my chest, you lover! Carl? Life, Carl? Everyone is here in the guild.'
I just smiled, are you crying?
"Master!"
A maid of porcelain hugs my neck. As I looked around, everything was here, including Princess Porcelain's kingdoms.
"Eventually, I died too!" I accept my fate that I died!
*Slap*
Ouch! Why do I feel hurt?
"What are you talking about?"
"You're still alive, you idiot!
All of you are members of my guild.
"What happened?"
..." Why didn't even one answer?
And used the exit portal.
