'Comprehensive Level 31.'
Lioro thought in his mind.
He could upgrade his level even more, but that would mean increasing the experience cost of his dimensional travel ability.
This was a problem, as it meant it will no longe be coat effective to travel to other worlds as his level grew.
But had thought of a solution.
Which was to make a piece of equipment and give it his career skill, 'Dimensional Rift'.
That way, he could just fit a specific amount of experience inside the equipment and travel to different worlds.
But then he won't be able to farm skill points.
'I can try to substitute the space material with mythril by using the class skill [Eternal Forge] from my Epic Class [Divine Smith]'
He will have to check if Mythril was of the same level as a space ore.
For now, he would use 'Dimensional Rift' to farm skill points; later, when the cost became too high, he would forge equipment and make do with it.
Lioro got up from his bed and thought while walking through the door.
'Racial classes come with inherent passive skills such as 'High Tiered Physical Immunity, ' which makes the player immune to level 60 and below attacks.....'
Tiered spells went like this.
Lv 1-7: 1st tier
Lv 8-14: 2nd tier
Lv 15-21: 3rd tier
Lv 22-28: 4th tier
Lv 28-35: 5th tier
Lv 36-42: 6th tier
Lv 43-49: 7th tier
Lv 50-56: 8th tier
Lv 57-63: 9th tier
Lv 64-70: 10th tier
Lv 70 and above: super tier
This means that by using a 'Summon Undead 10(10th tier)' spell, he is actually summoning an undead between levels 64 and 70.
It is good but not very useful when going against high-level players.
In the dugeon city, he estimated the level of a level 1 adventure to be between level 1-10, similarly, a level 7 adventurer will have the stats of a tier 10th undead summon.
Though the two cannot really be compared simply because of the various skills an undead summon possesses.
In a one-on-one fight between the two, a lower tiered undead summon(Tier 1 to Tier-3) will result in the defeat of the undead summon, for middle tier(Tier 4 to Tier 6) it will be hard to guess the outcome.
However, for high-tiered undead summon(Tier 7 to Tier 10), the game changes altogether because of the crazy passive and active skills they get.
Almost all high-tiered undead summon come with an instant death check on their attacks, which completely turns the table.
This also highlights the power of racial classes, which also came with passive like High 'Tiered Magic Immunity(Tier 6th and below),' which made the player and summon immune to tier 6th and below spells.
Unfortunately, the human race had no racial passives.
However, because of Lioro's high magical and physical defenses, he can achieve an effect close to magic immunity.
But still, even from a tier 1 spell, he will take damage, even if very little.
Coming to the hall, Lioro looked at Yoriichi and Bell.
"Good Morning."
Yoriichi greeted Lioro.
Lioro nodded at him, then looked at Bell.
"Good morning, captain...."
Bell said in a hurry.
"Going to the dungeon?"
Lioro asked, looking at the bags on their backs.
It seems they bought it last night after being guided by the guild advisor.
"Yes."
"Okay, make sure to collect magic stones."
Lioro stopped for a moment before continuing.
"You can exchange the magic stones you get from the dungeon with me for a weapon of your choice."
"Captain is a blacksmith?"
Bell asked in curiosity.
Yoriichi remained calm, he already knew Lioro was much more than a simple blacksmith.
"You can think of it like that."
Lioro nodded his head and then said while looking at Yoriichi.
"I might be gone for a week, so I will leave the familia in your care."
"You're going out?"
"Yes."
Yoriichi nodded his head.
Bell wanted to ask where he was going, but seeing Yoriichi's calm face, he held himself back.
Suddenly, Lioro remembered something and said.
"I forgot to mention this before, but make sure to stay away from a long-haired goddess named Freya and the Hostess of Fertility...."
Yoriichi blinked his eyes.
"Um, captain, who is goddess Freya?"
Bell asked, looking confused.
Lioro looked at him and then smiled weirdly.
"She's a child predator who goes after young children like you!"
"W-what! What?!"
Bell hurriedly stepped back, feeling scared.
Instantly, the image of a fat, silver-haired, terrible-looking goddess who eats children appeared in his mind.
While Lioro was having fun teasing Bell, Yoriichi opened his mouth for a moment and then closed it.
It seems he wanted to say something but decided to hold himself back.
'Silver hair?'
Perhaps he was overthinking. Just like when he confused Bell for Lioro's relative?
'Was she a goddess?'
The image of a cloaked woman appeared in his mind.
Lioro opened up his prop box, took out some magic scrolls, and handed them to Yoriichi.
"Take these just in case."
A few spare healing scrolls along with a tier 4 'Icy Flame Breath' scroll, which he couldn't sell before.
"Use them when necessary."
Lioro said as he explained their use to Yoriichi and Bell.
Bell stared at the magic scrolls with shining eyes.
It was magic after all, something only a select few can cast.
"I will go and talk to the goddess then, You guys should be on your way."
Under Lioro's eyes, the two of them left through the front door.
After they were gone, Lioro looked at the space in front of him.
"Void Phantasm."
The void in front of him trembled before a pair of blood-red eyes appeared.
"Master...I....have...completed....your....task...."
"Good, let's go then."
Lioro placed his hand on the Void Phantasm, then the two of them vanished.
Dungeon, 28th floor.
The space quivered for a moment before Lioro and the Void Phantasm appeared.
Suddenly, without any warning, a black figure jumped out from the water, rushing straight for Lioro.
But before the fish monster could reach him, the void creaked, and an invisible scythe sliced the monster into countless pieces.
"....Dare....to.....attack.....Master..."
A creepy voice filled with anger came out from the void.
A crazy killing intent spread out, making the fish monsters who were about to attack retreat in a hurry.
"What do you think? Can you navigate through the dungeon?"
Lioro asked.
The killing intent quickly disappeared as the Void Phantasm looked at Lioro with lowered eyes.
"....I...only.....know....to....navigate.....till....18th....floor..."
"Hmm?"
Lioro scrunted his brows and fell in thought.
It made sense since the Void Phantasm learned with Yoriichi and Bell, who were newcomers, and the advisor wouldn't tell them about the deeper floors because of it.
Looking at his master's changing expression, the Void Phantasm felt terrible.
It was because of his incompetence that his master was troubled!
"Let's do this then..."
Lioro muttered as he pointed at the ground beside him.
"Summon Undead 9th: Abyssal Dread Knight."
----
Summon: Abyssal Dread Knight (9th Tier)
MP Cost: 120
Introduction: Abyssal Dread Knights are the elite warriors of the underworld, resurrected from the souls of fallen warlords who swore vengeance beyond death. Clad in cursed abyssal armor that devours light, they wield colossal greatswords infused with soul-consuming energy. These knights are relentless, immune to fear, and embody the essence of war itself. Their mere presence exudes an aura of despair, suffocating the will to fight in all but the most resolute warriors.
Their swords strike to sever both body and soul, leaving wounds that cannot heal naturally, while their movements defy mortal limitations. Only those with divine protection or equivalent power can hope to stand against their relentless assault.
Personal Traits:-
Abyssal Execution Blade, Doomstride, Dread Knight's Presence, Shadow Phase, Soul Rend, Undying Warlord
Undead Traits:-
Immunity to Sleep, Paralysis, Disease, Mind-Affecting Effects, Poison, and Energy Drain, Recovery by Negative Energy, Holy and Light Vulnerability V, Blessed Weapons and Consecrated Areas Suppression IV.
----
A Magic circle formed on the ground.
The figure of the Abyssal Dread Knight wearing full plate pitch black armour appeared in their view.
Instantly, an aura of dread spread throughout the place, affecting the environment.
A pair of blood red eyes similar to the Void Phantom slit open.
Lioro looked at the pair of red eyes and couldn't help but wonder.
'Are the bloody eyes a characteristic of tier 9 undead?'
Abyssal Dread Knight kneeled before Lioro in a respectful manner.
"Master....."
"Put away the aura; it's annoying."
Lioro said while looking at the aura of dread trying to envelop him, only to be blocked by infinity.
It would not at all be funny if he ended up dying because of his summons's powers....
"Yes..."
Abyssal Dread Knight got up from the ground and put away his aura.
Lioro looked at the two undead.
Then pointed at the ground.
"Summon Undead 8th: Night Lich."
An undead skeleton without as much as a scrap of flesh on his body wearing a tattered robe appeared.
----
Spell: Summon Undead 8th (8th Tier)
Undead: Night Lich
MP Cost: 85
Introduction: A powerful necromantic sorcerer, the Night Lich is an advanced undead of the 8th tier, surpassing ordinary liches in intelligence and magical prowess. It is an evilution of Elder Litch. It wields devastating dark magic and commands the dead with absolute authority, making it a terrifying force on the battlefield. Unlike mindless undead, it retains exceptional tactical intellect, allowing it to strategize and counter opponents effectively. However, it suffers from extreme vulnerability to holy and light-based attacks, physical damage, and divine magi, which can severely weaken its abilities.
Personal Traits:-
High-Tier Necromantic Mastery, Undead Command, Arcane Resilience, Deathly Presence.
Undead Traits:-
High-tier Magical Damage Invulnerability, Immunity to sleep, Immunity to disease, Energy Drain Immunity, Dark Vision, Death Immunity, Disease Immunity, Mind-affecting Immunity, Necromancy Resistance, Paralysis Immunity, Poisoning Immunity, Recovery by Negative Energy, Doubled Damage by Fire, Holy and Light Vulnerability VI, Good and Holy Consecrated Areas' Vulnerability IV.
----
The eyes of the undead radiated with intelligence superior to humans.
Night Lich looked at Lioro and gave him a respectful bow.
Lioro nodded, then again cast a spell.
"Summon Undead 8th---?Hm?"
The magic circle that was forming on the ground suddenly broke apart as a stinging pain hit Lioro's mind.
'I can only summon 4 high-tier undead at a time?'
Including the three here, there was also the one protecting Hestia.
'Then what about lower tiers?'
Lioro thought then started summoning middle and lower tiered undeads.
After some time.
A total of 35 undead surrounded him.
Including the one with Hestia, it would be 36 undead summons.
From the lowest 1st tier Skeleton to the 9th tier Void Phantasm.
20 Low tier(1st to 3rd)
12 Middle Tier(4th to 6th)
4 High Tier(7th to 10th)
That seems to be the daily limit of summons a Yggdrasil player can have.
Perhaps the undead-specific classes allowed one to summon more? He remembers Ains was able to summon an army of low-level undead by relying on corpses.
Maybe if he used a living being as a sacrifice like Ains did, he could summon more?
Cancelling the low and mid-tier undead summons, Lioro looked at the three high-tiered undead before him.
Opening up his prop box, he took out some bags and threw them on the ground.
Then he took out two short swords and used his Epic Class to enchant them.
---
Item: Short Swords.
Tier: Medium.
Description: Two simple short swords enchanted by the Divine Smith.
Added effect: One points to another, telling each other's location.
---
50,000 exp spent for adding the effect.
"Take this."
Lioro handed one of the short swords to the Night Lich.
Night Lich respectfully took the weapon by lowering his head and using both of his hands.
'Can you not be so dramatic?'
Lioro complained in his mind and said to Void Phantasm.
"I will place the other sword in the 18th-floor safe zone."
"...master...."
"I want all three of you to explore the dungeon and kill monsters and make sure to harvest their magic stones."
"After a week, you are to return back to the 18th floor using the short sword. Understood?"
".....I....understand....."
"Good, then explain to them as well."
Lioro said while pointing at the Night Lich and Abyssal Dread Knight, who were tilting their heads in confusion.
After all, they didn't know about the dungeon or anything.
"...I...will...teach....them....."
"A warrior, an assassin, and a mage.....I also wanted to add a scout and a tank, but forget it."
Lioro shook his head and then said.
"Don't hurt other adventurers, avoid them altogether if possible, also if you see any talking monsters then leave them alone....."
After mentioning a few more things about the boss monster, lower floors etc, Lioro went away.
After he was gone.
The three undead looked at each other.
Then they all said at the same time.
"...I..captain...."
"I am Captain....."
"I am Captain."
A defeating silence surrounded the place.
The next instant.....
Three powerful undead auras exploded at the same time.
On the other hand, Lioro placed the short sword in a hard-to-find corner of the 18th floor.
The dungeon had a tendency to repair itself; that's why he couldn't just dig a hole and bury it somewhere.
