Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse Chapter 88 - Schemes

My morning began with abrupt knocks waking up from the comfortable bed I was in. I didn’t necessarily need sleep with my maxed rank S attributes and many skills that now beca passive, but I always felt rejuvenated whenever I had a decent sleep. I groggily said co in while rising up from the bed where the silk sheets drifted down.

The door opened to a blue haired girl who seed to have a semblance of worry on her eyes. She ca to a stop as she saw my n.a.k.e.d upper half on the bed and turned away as I beca surprised at this type of reaction I never would have expected from soone like her.

I equipped my body armor and asked,

"What happened?"

There shouldn’t have been anything that went wrong with just a few hours passing. I was even patiently waiting to combine more skills this morning before diving in the dungeon here.

"Sothing that I didn’t completely expect has occurred."

She turned back and spoke in a serious tone as she faced once more.

"Before we left, I made a few Shadow Guards stay behind to monitor the forces of the Crown Prince in the case of any suspicious movents. I thought there was a possibility he might try sothing fishy once news of traveling to the surrounding counties and dukedoms reached him, but I never expected him to make such a bold move."

I was up with full attention as she said this and I asked her, "What exactly did you find out?"

"The Shadow Guards followed a collection of rcenaries working under the Crown Prince as they left the Kingdom. Only the two of them followed to see if this would lead to sothing while others remained in the kingdom to continue monitoring. The two Shadow Guards that followed those rcenaries closely found them heading in the sa direction we are."

This doesn’t seem too bad? I waited for her to continue as it seed she liked holding the best things for last.

"Among the rcenaries they observed was the figure of the woman that was with the Crown Prince a few days ago."

Now, with these words I finally beca serious. An EPIC ranked individual was involved? "What’s their plan here? Surely your own brother isn’t sending people to take your life."

"Hah" A light laugh escaped from her lips for the first ti since I t her, and she said, "It’s not my life that he wants. I’ve seen the way he’s looked at my entire life while I grew up. He’s got a twisted mind, and I don’t know what plans he’s created from it."

I thought about this possible new threat and my own level of power currently. Between beasts and humans, beasts of the sa rank were always more powerful. Would this be applicable to the adventure that supposedly was heading towards us?

I then looked through the many skills I had brought up recently, as well as the ones ready for combination after this past night, and a smile broke out in my face.

"They won’t be making a move while we’re in this dukedom will they?"

"No, they will most likely put up an ambush in the snowy roads with low visibility when we leave this place."

The plan in my mind fully ford as this was confird. "Great. We’ll head out in a few days to clash with these people. For now, let’s continue to enjoy the ti in this dukedom."

A few days would be enough for to get much stronger through combinations and loot. After all of this was completed, I even had a chance to gain another EPIC ranked skill from soone that wished harm? Haha, I couldn’t wait!

The calm returned on the face of the Princess as she saw my own face that had no worry, and nodded her affirmation. "You plan to head to the dungeon now?"

"As soon as we grab so food, it’s going to be a grueling few days of grinding for ."

"Grinding?"

The term threw her off and I told her not to worry as we stepped out. The plan would be simple for the next few days. Constantly grind and combine skills while gaining new ones from this rank S dungeon, [Waterworks].

This would actually be the first S rank dungeon I dive in, as all the ones I ca across previously had dungeon breaks right after. After grabbing so food, I covertly made my way over to the dark monolith. The hazy doorways were striking, the blackness inviting and drawing you in. Without wasting a minute, I entered my first rank S dungeon in this world.

[Waterworks] was a particularly interesting dungeon, as the first floor I appeared in had a few patches of land, with water surrounding the floor for more than 2 tis. My [Regal Archer’s Eyes] that could see triple the distance that [Eagle’s Eye] could observed many movents on the water below.

ZOOM!

Without a second passing, monsters flew out of the water with sparkling sharp teeth spread wide open to take a bite out of my figure standing on the small path of land. The beasts looked completely the sa as sharks, just four ters large, but with the addition of wide wings on its sides.

These were the famous monsters in this dungeon called [Winged Shark]. They could stay in the water as well as the air, and terrorized any adventures that were not prepared.

I had the goal of focusing on raising my rank S offensive skills as well as the rank of my one and only summon currently, so I began with those skills. With the shining of the circular rune, the ugly Abomination ca out with a loud scream as always.

The [Winged Shark]s in the air found their small wings ripped apart as sothing much larger than them began to move. [Saint’s Return] was casted next as the figure of a golden saint with white hair appeared behind . The hazy figure had a stern look on his face as white rays of light shot down towards and the Virulent Abomination.

The light brought about an invigorating feeling to my body as I felt energized and like nothing could possibly hurt . The summon that had begun battling with the flying sharks found many parts of its body that were injured closing up quickly as it moved even faster.

The next skills I began casting were [Volcanic Eruption] and [Rage of the Thunder Monarch], I was excited to cast these even more as they would be reaching 100 proficiency in an hour or so.

The first floor of this dungeon was cleared like this. The sharks were very aggressive and always dashed out of the water to attack. Even if they didn’t though, the constant thunder that rained down in the water as well as the molten flas and gaseous heat made it easy to take all of them down.

The mont any of them died, [Profane Eruption] ca to play to cause even more mayhem. The [Waterworks] dungeon had 50 total floors, with the first 25 holding countless variations of [Winged Shark]s and the latter 25 holding the last boss room as well as another species of monsters.

The fact that there were so many floors that provided a ton of monsters made the usage of [Profane Eruption] shoot through the roof and cause the proficiency to visibly rise over ti. Hours passed by like this as I enjoyed the rising of numbers and combining of skills while terrorizing new species of monsters.
