Chapter 14:Sky Castle Dungeon part 1

Name:War Online Author:Snowstar
The Ten-Player party entered the Sky-Castle dungeon, a Level 50 racial dungeon that can only be entered by Angel race.

Looking at his surroundings, Seraphim who took back the leader position said, "Okay, there are three open paths here. As we all know Normal and Elite dungeon structure is exactly the same in all types. The only difference is the strength of the mobs and the Boss monster. As for the goal, what you need to find is a portal. It'll lead us straight to the Castle.

Seven of us will go left and you two will go right. Flame Emperor won't leave Snow Dew's side, so, pick one between Time Traveler and Drake who are still in level 30s. Since this is Elite, we can't cover two of them. So…"

Before Snow Dew replies anything, Flame Emperor pointed at Williard and said, "You, come with us. Since you are the weakest here, stick with us." As Williard silently walked towards their side much to the envy of other people since he doesn't even have to lift a finger and get free EXP with two strongest players around, meanwhile, Flame Emperor thought, "as if I would get my daughter get close to that prick. This ordinary, silent and a weak guy is better."

As Williard was following both of them, Snow Dew started a conversation, "Big brother Time Traveler, you are an Archer, right?" As Williard nodded, she said, "that means, your MP will be consumed instead of stamina, right? Then, tell us when you need to recover your mana. We will slow down a bit so that you can catch up with us."

Williard replied, "It's fine. I'm just freeloading on you guys. You can maintain your pace as you wish. I'll try to keep up with you."

Snow Dew then said, "Then better not to use Skills and waste your mana then. Oh, I can see the monster." Before he replies anything, she dashed off from there and landed on a floating Island and started shooting the eagle head monsters with the energy blasts using the Energy Cannon in her hand.

Since the other seven are far away, the EXP gained was being distributed between the three of them equally as they were in a dungeon where last hit and contribution doesn't matter. With a 70% additional bonus, Williard began to receive continuous EXP like 3362, 3421, 3534, 3186, 3332, 3467… Just after 7 monsters got killed, a level up notification rang in his ears.

Two hours later,

After killing a little more than a hundred monsters, Snow Dew screamed in happiness, "Yes, I leveled up once, finally." Then, she looked at Williard and asked, "Oh, you level up to 37 already?" and pouted, "It became really hard to level up even once after level 50. Especially monsters here give way too little HP while having high agility to dodge and high defense to reduce the damage. Even with a 70% bonus, I'm only getting around 2500 EXP per monster. It's very annoying, indeed."

Williard replied, "That's because of level difference between the monsters and you is high. And also, for your information, the EXP needed will be increased twice again after level 100, you know."

"Eh?" Snow Dew looked at him in a confusion. Flame Emperor explained her in place of Williard, "If you have studied closely, you would see the pattern of level up, monsters EXP of each level of each grade, Equipment of each level and grade, etc…

That's why I told you to listen to my teaching and don't focus on playing all time. Since we touched the topic already, you are now at the 69th level. For now, it's following a pattern of 100*n*(n-1). That means 100*70*69. Now tell me how much it is."

"Eh? Um…" as Snow Dew became flustered and started looking up while thinking, then all of a sudden, she got a notification.

"Time Traveler sent you a private message. Press Confirm to Allow." As she pressed confirm, a number appeared as a message, "483,000." She immediately looked at her father and laughed, "Hehe, I calculated it. The answer is 483,000." Flame Emperor immediately moved into tears of happiness, "my daughter is a genius. Sending you to that top school seems like working."

Williard started to get annoyed while looking at this drama character but controlled his expression since the opponent is Flame Emperor. Even if he is a guardian, one to two hits are enough to finish a low level like Williard. Then, suddenly, he received a friend request from Snow Dew. Upon accepting it, he got a message, "Thanks for the help, Big Brother Time Traveler."

Half n hour later, after they finished all the mobs on the right side while Williard's EXP went from 11% to 68% and also replaced his level 30 bronze boots with level 35 Gold grade boots, the one with +4 enhanced, which was dropped after he killed Dave, a few hours earlier.

Equipping it increased his HP by more than 3000, then he added all the 35 points he gained to his HP increasing 7000 more and increasing it all the way to 22K overall with his 20% stat bonus and 5.2% HP bonus added because of the necklace.

Looking at his new stats, he thought, "first, surviving is important. I can always add attributes to Agility later."

Snow Dew then said, "We're finished here. There's no sign of a portal. Let's take rest for a while. I'm out of MP potions. I need to recover my MP before setting out to help them. Big Brother Time Traveler, you are flying for two hours straight. Your MP must have also reached the bottom, right? Come down and sit here, you too, Dad."

As Williard effortlessly landed on the floating Island to sit down next to her, Flame Emperor snorted, "I can fly for half a day without an issue." Even though he said that Flame Emperor still landed and sat in between Williard and Snow Dew.

After sitting down for like 25 minutes, Seraphim messaged in the party channel, "we found the portal. Come." She replied, "I'm recovering my mana. Still need 20 minutes." 20 minutes later, Flame Emperor and Williard followed her as she started flying towards the coordinates they received in the party channel.

While Drake was looking at Williard in envy since he was still at 35 and Williard already surpassed him just by tagging along with them but then thought, "Well, he won't be receiving equipment or currency, anyway. I might as well as think this is his payment for daring to accept the 10th person role in a level 50 dungeon."

While Williard wondered why they aren't asking Snow Dew's help in clearing the monsters as there's also an additional 50% bonus and in a hurry to complete the dungeon, Seraphim pointed the portal to the three of them and said, "There it is. Let's go, everyone."
