Chapter 48 - Planning

After Lucy completed her transformation she said," hey now even those legendary level monsters may not find my breath unless I leak it".

I became happy and kissed the mice and said," Lucy you're so great, now we can finally fulfil our mission".

Lucy blushed and said," you idiot, you can't kiss a girl without her permission".

I ignored her and said," Hey Lucy what more things can you transform into, hurry up I want to see".

Lucy nodded her head and soon became a fly, and a snake and she said," As my magic power for transformation requires more power so, for now, I will have to do with this sewn transformation".

I looked at her with admiration and said," Hey Lucy can't you change your colour, like become black, then at night no one will be able to notice you".

Lucy protested and said," no way, I will not turn black".

I looked at Lucy and said," Hey Lucy, I wanted to make food of legendary ingredients but it seems you will not be able to eat it", and sighed which made Lucy thought she heard was wrong.

"Hey, are you going to cook with legendary ingredients", asked Lucy with exceptions?

I nodded and seeing it she said," didn't you want to transform me into a black bug, I agree with you, but you need to cook me the food and don't forget".

I said," okay I will cook the food, especially for you".

Lucy was excited and said," let's finish the mission now".

I nodded and patted her back and gave her an encouraging look and said," Lucy, see it's almost night, time for you to act, remember to scout and give me the report, till that time I will cook the food for both of us".

Lucy nodded and said," don't worry leave the scouting to this lady and I will give you their details later".

I nodded and reminded her," Lucy don't be eaten by lizards, beware of some birds and also not to mention the spider webs".

Hearing my words Lucy cursed," you bastard" and flew away.

I took out crayfish and started the absorbing and upgrading process. Soon I had legendary level crayfish.

CRAYFISH(ORANGE)

THE FIRST TIME THE EFFECT IS PERMANENT.

NEXT, WHEN YOU EAT YOU WILL GET BUFF.

ASPD- +25

ASPD- ATTACK SPEED

Seeing the attributes I was surprised and thought should I upgrade ingredients next to make ourselves stronger. Maybe I could try next as who knows what additional attributes will I get after eating the food. Then I shook my head and started cooking the food.

While I was thinking and cooking food, Lucy came back. She said," Hey Robin, they were lazy as no one had dared to attack their base so I easily scouted their lair".

Tell me about it, how many monsters were there, are there any traps or anything that I should keep in mind while attacking them".

Lucy said," there were five hundred monsters in total. The Boss is in the innermost layer, which is guarded by five-diamond level monsters, later as you come out of the room, you will find most monsters guarding the gate are gold level monsters, there are fifty of them and after you come out of the innermost area, you reach the outermost area where they form ten-man team, in which silver level monster acts as captain and bronze level monster as there guard".

"The outermost area covers six hundred meters and innermost area three hundred meters, the chances of sneaking inside the boss lair is almost negligible as the outmost area monster team has an evil eye monster in their team which can not only see at night but also can spot invisible/ stealth. I was lucky to level up or else I would have become the food of those terrible monsters", added Lucy.

I listened to the report and nodded my head and said," well done Lucy, see as you were not here I promised you legendary level food, now it has just been cooked come and eat it".

Hearing my words Lucy small grievance was swept away and she happily joined me.

Then I started my plan once again, should I blow up the monster lair, then thought if it was possible then why would people have not blown it away, there must be formation protecting the base.

Next was head to head fight, so I decided that the next day we fight them day as during the night evil eye must see through so the sneak attack was impossible and my sniper arrows could be used but I need to go inside and hunt those monsters first.

Then I said to Lucy" did you remember how much hp those monsters had".

Lucy while chewing the food thought and then swallowed it and then said," Bronze level monster hp was within 5000, the silver level had 15000, the gold level had 150,000, the diamond level had 1,500,000 and the boss had 5,000,000 hp while the defence varies from monster to monster.

I nodded and said," if I kill the monster now, what are the chances of alerting them", and said Lucy about my plan of sniping the silver monster.

Lucy said," you idiot before attacking the monster will attack you, so it's best to kill the monster evil eye as it is basically on the scout tower which is generally five meters high. So by sniping, you can kill it as it must be within your range. The best thing is that the scout tower only has evil eyes and all the towers are connected, with a rope so travelling from one tower to another must not be a problem for you".

I nodded and then said," is there any weakness of evil eye monster".

Lucy shook her head and said," basically only one weakness, during the day its vision reduces to a hundred meters so if you want to kill then be fast least other evil eye suspect anything is wrong".

"Hey Lucy why evil eye monster must be removed first", I asked.

Lucy said," As I remembered in my inherited memories that evil eye monster has a two skill one control skill which will be able to hold you and make it difficult for your win and the next skill is a mental skill, which hurt directly your brain, interrupting your skill casting, which can be very deadly".

I nodded my head in understanding and Lucy once again commented," Remember once you enter the guild lair, then you need to face the boss.. There are only two ending for people entering the monster lair, first, you successfully kill the monster and you go out and next, you die and become a history".
