“Don't know when I last deserved a level that much,” John grumbled, putting all of his new points into Endurance. “That was fucked up.” He looked up and found the serene sight of the endless green expanse in front of him. After the fungal forest, it was doubly welco.
Magoi was nowhere to be seen, although movent inside his copy of the house indicated that he was still around. John just hoped he hadn’t gotten sick or sothing like that, if Magoi was unable to uphold the barrier, John would be in deep trouble. However, the guy was also seriously weird so maybe he was just having so eccentrical stroke? Who could say.
John decided to check the loot basin. Not with a lot of hope, after all the only thing he had cleared was that Forest Elental dungeon once. It had given him the last level and more than half of the current one. Beyond that, it didn’t look that impressive in terms of rewards. To defeat the Sporehost reliably, it always had to do that tongue attack. It was probably better to find a boss that was easier to exploit and grind.
He looked into the basin and, much to his surprise, found two items there. The sa item two tis, the only one that was on every monster’s Loottable, a needled orb of bright red colour that looked a bit like an urchin. The needles were extrely thick and dull so John picked it up with little hesitation.
“The fuck is a NATE?” John, still sowhat agitated, wanted to know. He looked at his companions, he did not expect much from Aclysia, all her knowledge ca either from him or the internet, but maybe the elentals had an idea. For this occasion, he brought back Gno as well. The little girl was completely restored, probably due to the level up he had had.
The elental girls exchanged information for a bit before Gno stepped forth and spoke, “Uhm, no idea, John.”
So that remained a mystery. Now for the more interesting question though. Should he do it? If the last Bonus Dungeon was anything to go by they were extrely worth it. A boss sounded a bit harder than a mini ga though. “Should we do it?” he put it out for vote again. With level 49 he was almost at the recomnded level so that would not be the problem (or at least he thought so).
Aclysia withheld her vote. “I feel this might be worthwhile but am unsure about the safety of it, master,” she explained. Salamander and Sylph raised their hands in unison, “Let’s burn stuff!” “I kinda want a challenge but I also don’t want to break a nail…hihihi, that sounded so girly, I don’t even have nails, or do I? What are my hands? What is the aning of existence?! Oh, pretty grass!”
Undine once again just kept her serenity and did not vote either way while Gno voted against this ti, “We should prepare first.”
So, two in favour, two undecided and one against. It was up to John. “Let’s go then,” he decided. His rationale was quite simple: He had two and if they failed he could always retry another day. Although he did not look forward to a near-death experience so trying to win was best.
He stored the two Infested Spores in his inventory and went back into the gate. Then, like with the Dog Mini Ga, he was presented with a window asking him whether or not he wanted to enter the Bonus Level or access the normal Spawn Table. He chose the forr and found himself inside the forest once more.
The Infested Spore dashed from his inventory and burrowed itself straight into the ground. John watched the ground tremble for a bit then calm down, although the place where the spore burrowed itself was suspiciously caved in.
