Nova was excited to learn new knowledge, but at the same time, he was also angry at his grandma for not saying everything.
'Did she want me to learn on my own?'
His grandma was a stage 3 explorer in the past, so there's no way she wouldn't know this kind of information.
'So she seriously didn't want me to become an explorer, huh?'
Dispelling his thoughts, Nova asked for further confirmation, "So, ordinary and Elite monsters only have a 5 percent core formation rate , Unique and Legendary Guardians have guaranteed core formation?"
"No, no, that's not how it works. Only ordinary monsters have a five percent core formation. Elite monsters have almost twenty-five percent formation."
"They are in different categories because of their strength and formation rate."
"And the final one is not called 'Legendary Guardian', it's simply called 'Guardian'."
"Since most people only heard about them in legends, they are called legendary."
"There is also a rumor that Guardians of each floor is responsible for curses. Their entity seems to maintain the balance inside the labyrinth."
After Rock's explanation, Nova again asked, "Does that mean each floor has only one guardian?"
"No, there is more than one guardian and it's also confirmed news."
"Who confirmed it?"
"It was Lucas Alexander, the Duke of Alexander family, who killed a guardian of the first floor twenty-five years ago."
"Then is it possible for us to kill a Guardian?"
"Don't even think about it, Guardians are at least stage 7 monsters."
Nova nodded with satisfaction and asked a lot of doubts he had from the beginning about the labyrinth.
Rock didn't neglect his requests and explained them patiently, while other members were also sharing their own opinions.
Like this, an hour passed, but Nova began to feel the chill even near the campfire.
'I should meet Lana first and drink the potion first.'
Without thinking much about the issue, Nova said, "Captain, I'm going to meet Lana to get my potion, I will come back after that."
"Potions huh? Now that you mention it, I remember," Rock looked at Nova seriously and said, "Give the bag, I'll check them once."
Nova nodded and gave him the bag that Eric handed him before leaving. He only saw various materials required for the potion making, but didn't know a lot of them.
Rock took the bag and handed it to Shane. "He is an expert in finding various materials and conflicts between them."
"Which monster core did you choose as a main ingredient?" Shane came towards in an instant and asked with a little excitement.
Although Nova found it weird, he told him truthfully, "Toxsona's head core and the materials were given by Eric. I just gave them a look."
"Toxsona? Toxsona's core? When you said you killed two monsters of the same kind before meeting Eric, you mean Toxsona?" Rock asked a little louder, with surprise, unlike his usual quiet voice.
"Yeah, I met only two of them and it was tough, I almost died in the battle against the second one."
"What did you just say, almost died?!" Rock yelled, "Do you know what you just achieved?"
"You killed an elite monster before even becoming a proper stage 1 explorer."
"Do you know what that represents?"
Nova unable to understand, said casually, "Mmm, I don't understand."
Hearing Nova's reply, Rock's excitement went and he fell silent.
"Don't mind him, Nova. He was a little too excited." Amelia came and pushed the excited Rock away, and began to explain with a surprised look.
"Our Shark Team requires every single member to use their entire strength and spirituality to kill an Elite monster without any injuries or accidents."
"Although it is possible a team of two can do it, we normally won't risk our lives."
"You know what that means, you, a guy inside the labyrinth for the first time, without an ounce of spirituality, killed an Elite monster that none of us achieved on our own."
Nova was surprised by the words of Amelia. But most of his credit goes to his whip, which was twice the speed of sound.
'I think there aren't many monsters that could survive a few of my strikes.'
"Actually, it was because of my weapon that I could kill it successfully. If there was a monster faster than me, I would probably die right there." Nova didn't get too proud and humbly stated.
Amelia came and patted his shoulder, "No need to be humble, sometimes being humble and silent makes us look weak."
"Inside the labyrinth, strength speaks for everyone, so be proud of yourself and you won't meet good people like us who give advice."
