Chapter 553: Salamander Minions



[Violet Rose Brush (FFF+) (Mutant Dungeon)]

[Level Maximum: 35]

[Entry Limit: 2]

[Recommended: Physical 1100; Mental 1100]

[Description: This Dungeon has entered a state of symbiosis with a Dynamic Field Dungeon, changing its landscape and the nature of the challenges within]

[Warning: Changes may occur to this Dungeon at any moment]

Sylas hardly looked at Dungeon Grades anymore. By now, he knew that the grading system of Earth was useless.

In the outside world, FFF+ would hold some real weight. But a Level 35 Dungeon, when the highest Level on Earth right now was 29... well, it didn't take much for this to be an FFF+ Dungeon.

All that really mattered was the recommended stats, and Sylas felt that he could deal with this more than well enough.

When his vision cleared, he found himself in a maze of carved bushes. He wasn't new to maze Dungeons; he had been in one before. In fact, he had found the Basilisk King in one.

But back then, he had a map to rely on. This time, he didn't have such a thing. And he also had a feeling that the maze would...

He had only just had the thought when it happened right in front of him. What had once been a wide-open lane shifted. A wall of green appeared out of nowhere and blocked it off.

Then, a path opened up behind him instead.

Unsurprisingly, he went from having no enemies to worry about to hearing the growls of one in that same instant.

He spun around to see

browns, snarling at him.

It had incredibly balanced Physical stats, but its Intelligence was off the charts compared to its others, being over a thousand.

Why that was became clear when a line of poison shot for Sylas, lighting on fire mid-air.

'An attack that turns into an area of effect attack...'

He knew why. The style he chose was very aggressive. Smashing a 200-pound rock onto its back to drive through an enemy with over 700 Constitution, not including any Aether protections, was a recipe for disaster.

This was the same reason he hadn't used his three Kunai in so long despite the fact there had once been a point where they were his favorite weapon to use.

If he used his Kunai any more, they would shatter, and there would be no recovering them. He had yet to find anyone capable of repairing them.

The System City had blacksmiths, but they could only work on normal weapons. There were none who could repair Legendary Path weapons that could upgrade with Genes.

Sylas had already ended up shattering his illusion sword in the Sylph Dungeon; he didn't want

to lose another.

According to the Madness Key, such Legendary Path Treasures only appeared so frequently now because it was the Summoning. Once the Summoning was over, they would become treasured family heirlooms that would be passed down for generations.

Every loss of one meant one less.

However, Sylas knew that he had to balance saving these weapons with using them. He couldn't leave such a useful tool gathering dust in his Madness Key.

Speed clearing this Dungeon was more valuable to him right now than anything else, so he was going to continue using this method until he felt like the lance couldn't handle it

anymore.

He set off after putting the lance and stone away.

Every time he came across an enemy, he killed them with the exact same sneak attack. His

control became more efficient. However, he still lost a Durability point every time he

attacked.

After he had killed seven of the salamanders, he chose to upgrade the lance. If its stats were higher, maybe it would take more to ding its Durability.

[Woodland Poison Lance (Silver) (Treasure)]

[Level: 3]

[+400 Strength]

[Ability: Pierce; Erode]

[Strength is doubly as Effective]

[Destroy structural integrity of Aether]

[Level Up Requirement: <30 Bronze> Genes]

[Durability: 43/50]

After the eighth salamander, he still lost a Durability point. But he chose to continue

improving it. It wouldn't cost him much anyway.

He was facing a much more troublesome problem. The maze around him kept shifting and changing... it was like it was forcing him to clear all of the minions when usually taking out the BOSS would be enough.
