Chapter 518 – Defense Specialization and Reentry
The place the two arrived at was within the clouds of the fifth floor area. Though they had been forced to retreat once before from this place, they had returned after reviewing their equipment and increasing their HP. Now, they could easily withstand the strikes of the extending cloud spears and proceed with their conquest without any problems.
Clearing away the small fry monsters, the two moved deeper, beyond the point they had turned back from last time.
After a while, having navigated through the intricate paths of the cloud, the two came upon a sight: a pure white building made of clouds and other players.
“Is this the first intermediate point?”
“Lily did mention it was a long dungeon.”
“It seems we can start from here next time. Look, it’s registered as a teleport destination from the guild home.”
“So, do we head up again towards the next town?”
“Probably. Well, we won’t know for sure until we go, but... it’s bound to be a long journey ahead.”
“We need to stay focused!”
It appeared that the entrance to the next cloud labyrinth was on the opposite side after passing through the town straight ahead.
As they walked straight down the central path, the two checked the buildings on both sides.
“It looks like there’s also an equipment and item shop.”
“Oh, should we take a look? They might have some rare items for sale!”
“Okay, let’s check it out. We might not get many chances to come back if we move forward.”
Entering the shop that dealt with weapons and armor, they examined the details of the equipment lined up.
“Cloud weapons... Oh, they come with skills.”
“Those are the ones that extend, right?”
“Seems like it. But there are no daggers... It’s a pretty good weapon, not something you’d expect to find in a regular shop.”
After expanding rapidly, they revert to their original length without any openings. It seemed like it would be a perfect fit for Sally, but since they only sold longswords and spears, there was nothing else they could do but give up on it.
“Hey, they’ve got cloud armor and shields too!”
“Yeah, their performance seems decent enough. But weapons are still the main focus...”
“If the items we saw monsters carrying are available here, then daggers might show up eventually!”
“That’s a possibility. Let’s keep our hopes up.”
“Yeah! Hey, let’s go check out the items too!”
“Good idea. If this shop’s anything to go by, we might find some good stuff. We haven’t really looked around much, but it might be a good idea to check out the equipment in other towns too.”
Exiting the equipment store, the two entered the adjacent item shop.
Among the usual lineup of potions and expensive crystals for momentary damage reduction, there were unfamiliar items mixed in.
But is leveling even necessary to begin with?

Raising defense stats won’t make much of a difference anymore~

Well, you see... Yeah.

How about progress with “The Demon King”?
647 Name: Anonymous Shield User
It’s going smoothly enough. If needed, I’ll share information. I’ve cleared several and haven’t had much trouble progressing through the rest, so there should be answers.

That’s a relief~ Are you tackling the sixth floor area?
649 Name: Anonymous Shield User
Yeah, if it’s there, there’s a lot we can share.
650 Name: Anonymous Spear User
It’s all based on our experiences. If we find out anything from our end, we’ll let you know. Undoubtedly, our guild has more members, so if we can solve any weird gimmicks, our progress speed should be faster.

That’s a relief~

It’s a mutual thing, you know.

The event details have been announced as well. I want to apply some enhancement patches to myself before then.

There’s no such thing. It shouldn’t exist... I hope.
