Chapter 363 - The color of experience point in is silver!
"Grrrr!"
"Pala-san, it is heading your way! !"
"Just leave it to -desu! !"
"Graww!?"
Raising its stout arms, a Silver Golem sprinted for where Pala was. But with Rika's warning as she used the skill , Pala, who was already ready, brilliantly finished the approaching golem with a single strike.
What followed was the scene of Pala swinging down her long sword clad in burning flas. A 100/10 in visual impact!
"Please don't lose your focus, Zephyr-san! Next wave is here! !"
Hearing Rina's call, I turned to look ahead and saw three silver golems appearing out of the gate from depth.
"Don't fret, just leave it to . ."
I attacked the approaching enemies and shifted their target to as Rina buffed . Thanks to that, it seed like I managed to deal quite a good amount of damage.
lasts only for a short duration but as long as it's active, it buffs both the attack and magic power. It was pretty useful for instantaneous bursts and could apply to the whole party.
"!"
Just as the silver golems were approaching , they were assailed by an ice-attribute attack, promptly halting one on its steps.
The attacker was rt.
was the general offensive magic in ice-attribute, and the spell he just used now was a 2nd order skill tree’s magic.
On this note, was the general offensive magic in fire-attribute while being the 2nd order skill tree’s magic.
"Grawwr!"
"Heal incoming, Zephyr-kun! ! And !"
"Thanks! This is the last and I can’t lag behind others in appearance huh, ti to be more flashy! ! !"
"Gr, Graww! G-G-Grr….."
After having Misato heal and cast a barrier on , I stepped forward to confront them.
Two of the silver golems rushed and launched their attack, a pretty common sight nowadays. I resisted their attack with the help of a barrier and , waited for the timing they slow down on their attack and then launched my counterattack which sealed their fate.
"! I am done dealing with my opponent as well!"
"Great job."
rt defeated the last remaining silver golem, which finally cleared the dungeon's gimmick.
"Finally, I can finally take a breather. I didn't think we would have to fight 100 of them."
"Truly. Monsters weren't strong but they made it up with the numbers, it would have been tough without considerable strength."
Misato and Rina shared their opinion about the gimmick.
We were currently in the midst of clearing a room. It was quite a struggling battle since the monster spawning chanism in the was different from other dungeons we have ventured in.
As Misato said, we had to defeat 100 silver golems, one of gimmick. The setup kinda resembles a monster house, silver golems keep spawning one after another with no regards to anything. Well, this endless wave-like trial was also the reason it was nicknad 'miniga' by players. They did grant quite a huge amount of experience.
Besides, as Rina said, they were weak individually. They didn't last more than three strikes from a 2nd order skill and 1 or 2 strikes from 3rd order skill. The only challenging aspect was their numbers. There was also the fact that they ca in waves instead of striking at once like a tsunami which gave us ti to dispose of them one by one. The hard word was properly compensated by the amazing amount of experience points though.
"But my equipnt makes it a breeze for though!"
"You have to thank Zephyr for it, Misato."
"Geez, I know that too, rt-sama! Zephyr-kun, thank you for lending the equipnt! They really make it easier for ."
"Don't mind the formality, as long as they serve their purpose to you."
I waved back at Misato to say don't mind it in response to her gratitude.
Well yes, Misato was currently equipped with I had bid for in the auction.
It was a peach-colored armor set designed for magicians which, as its na implies, evokes the image of sakura (cherry blossom). The set consists of a peach-colored robe adorned with sakura motifs, a one piece dress in white, green and pink color with hot pants underneath, and the gloves and over-the-knee-leggings with the sakura designs on a white base.
It was a 5-piece armor set, and I must say, the peach-colored set looked great on her.
The set’s ability were; it buffed the wearer's magic power, increased resistance against elents and granted the wearer an increase in maximum MP. The set series effects were , , and which boost INT by 1.1 tis. There were also other effects but that's not worth ntioning here.
was as its na sounds, it grants special effects against plant type monsters, effectively increasing damage against them by 20%. Opposite of it, reduces damage taken from plant type monsters by 20%. Last, but not least, the permanent boost in INT by 1.1 was another fantastic part about the set.
Well, Misato was a healer first and didn't have much attack skills so it was kind of like pearl before swine but leaving that aside, it's exceptional ability and status make it a solid option to use till Int-high.
According to her, she did find her armor lacking for quite a while but because she had joined --- who were still in beginner level --- until just a while ago, she didn't find the ti to change her equipnt.
So after a discussion, we decided would lend her the armor until she could save enough Mir to buy her own equipnt.
As for weapons, she is using a small wooden wand. This was one of the drops had gotten from which she bought.
"I didn't know rt-sama's equipnt could work in an interdiate dungeon as well."
"Did you forget I used to be in the B-rank guild? I got them for quite cheap from ."
rt at the ti of joining was at LV18, but his equipnt at least was good enough to handle an interdiate dungeon. Apparently, the reason was simple---since they were B-rank guild, it was necessary purchase.
It was a fairly neat setup, consisting of normal drops obtained from the interdiate dungeons, except it was a non-series equipnt. Though the individual equipnt pieces were readjusted by , which gave them a cool touch.
According to rt, a visit to the was a must one way or another each ti he purchased any equipnt since they didn't quite fit him. rt, so you also have your own fair share of problems huh.
In his equipnt, he was like the splitting image of a wiseman, wearing an indigo-blue robe over a garnt with black undertones. Like Misato, he was using a wooden wand as his weapon which was as large as rt himself. If rt just grew the beard, no one would hesitate before calling him 'Elder rt'.
Anyway, jokes aside, it's ti to check the changes now that the first wave is over. I wonder how many tis they have leveled up.
"Great job, everyone. Now check your status."
"Okay~! ------Woah, I leveled by 4 at once!"
"I too."
Misato exclaid in surprise, and while Rina didn't show it in her voice, her wide-open eyes gave away how astonished she was. Well, they have defeated 100 monsters, so it was bound to raise their level by that much.
"Surprised, right? Well this is the grace of . The efficiency of leveling up is many tis higher here than in a regular dungeon."
The key to this quick leveling --- just my headcanon, not that I actually know how it works --- lies in the silver monsters we defeated.
If gold colored monsters were synonyms to rare drops, then silver colored monsters ant loads of experience points.
Hmm, what about money? Sorry, but monsters in don't drop Mir. So there weren't any 'Mir-colored' monsters.
Anyway, only spawns silver monsters.
In a regular dungeon, even if you take a day to clear it properly, you might only gain one level if it's the right dungeon for your level. Even by bringing in this equation, it was only possible to level up by 4, or by 5 levels in a day if you worked hard but that was the hard limit.
On the other hand, as long as one use , it is entirely feasible to hit the level cap from the bottom of the barrel LV0, all in just 5 days as long as QP is paid. Incredible, right? Well, its price is just that incredible as well though.
Let's see, clearing this wave took us one hour only. At this rate, we just need to repeat this for 2 or 3 tis more and we would hit the level limit.
A magnificent place to level up with equally ludicrous prices to enjoy huh.
With the current pace, I should be able to et my goal of having Rina, MIsato and rt at Lv40 --- the limit to level up in room --- within today.
Alas, Pala and I were already over LV40 so experience points from monsters doesn't make any difference for us. We would be stopping as soon as we hit the quota before calling it a day. I think it should take two more rounds only.
Also, even after this current wave of 100 monsters ends, another wave will start shortly, so there's no need to re-enter the teleportation gate. We'll be staying in this room for a while, all thanks to 10,000 QP.
This room was designed like a martial art's training hall, with a stone material that resembles tatami adorning the floor. Rooms here have a limit of one party at a ti, so any other visitors would be transferred to another room according to what I have heard. This way, we won't encounter other parties and there is no need to vie for experience points with others. All hail the QP.
When I ntioned the sa to Misato and RIna, their eyes glead in excitent. rt seed to have his expression eased up a bit too.
Well, who wouldn't be happy if they were told they could reach LV40 within the day?
The only ones to reach LV40 in the first years were just , , and .
"Alright, everyone. Second wave is just upon us, so get ready! It's ti to level up!"
" " "Understood (-desu)!" " "
In response to my call, Rina, Misato, and Pala raised their hands enthusiastically. rt just nodded, though the visible eagerness oozing out of his body betrayed him.
And thus, we resud thrashing all the silver monsters that ca out of the gate.
I missed it but the type of silver monsters change with each wave. So our current opponent were silver wolves.
