Chapter 174: Approaching The Dungeon
"Three Skill Cards and ten high-level Monster Cores."
'Along with the three successful Tames, this was a great haul!'
Geth stored the items and glanced through his storage. Between his two storage items, he still had around 300 pounds available.
"How is everyone's storage looking? I want to get as much loot as possible from this Dungeon to take back to the city."
"50 pounds."
"400."
"1200."
"100."
"Around 80 pounds."
Geth listened to everyone's responses. He realized that outside of the members of his original party, everyone's storage items were sub-par.
"It should be plenty. Remember to check every nook and cranny of the place for loot crates. They aren't all obvious."
Everyone nodded their heads, and the group proceeded towards the entrance of the Dungeon. After seeing everyone in action, Geth was confident in his team's abilities.
That didn't mean that he would be careless. If possible, he still wanted to take out three groups circling the entrance separately.
"Felix, what's the range of the patrols circling the entrance?" Geth asked.
The man closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Eventually, he picked up a stick and drew a triangle around a rock on the ground.
"They circle the entrance about a football field's length apart. They always stop at these three points and sit for around ten minutes before rotating."
"Are there any trees blocking their vision?" Filthy asked him.
Felix shook his head, "Nope. It's a large open area around the mouth of an underground entrance. I can buy some time with my illusions, but we will be found out as soon as we've finished the first group."
Geth thought back to the previous fight.
Geth nodded and turned toward the others, sending his own message.
'We have to be quick. Rift, Blaze, attack with your strongest AOE spells as soon as the count is over.
Sindri, rush straight in. I'll have a shield on you before you reach them. Melee fighters focus on whichever wolf Zolis strikes first.
I'll have its Agility debuffed as soon as she picks a target. The rest of you, focus on whichever beast my Skeleton has chosen.'
Everyone nodded and hid themselves down among the thick underbrush. Thanks to the Defense provided by their equipment, simple things like thorns and sharp leaves failed to bother them.
The wait seemed to be taking ages. The Direwolf groups would stop and sniff the air every few feet before moving again.
'It really almost feels like raiding a military complex. First the scouts, then the small recon group, now a proper monitoring system.'
The Direwolves were definitely multiple steps ahead of the other enemies they had faced. Geth continuously glanced at the Sub-Boss sleeping at the entrance.
:Weary Wolf, Lvl 65 (Sub-Boss); HP- 82,600/82,600:
Geth really wasn't sure what to make of the creature. After facing the Demonic Skeleton, it seemed a bit a bit uninspiring.
'Then again, I guess most creatures will look somewhat lacking after that event,' He mused.
This whole situation appeared too easy. It almost felt as if he was missing something.
Geth studied the landscape and the path that the patroling wolves were taking. It almost looked like some type of Formation.
'Wait... That Sub-Boss can probably move freely in this entire clearing.'
'7... 8...' He heard the mechanical recording of Felix's voice in his Grimoire.
'Shit!'
Geth had been focused on the Sub-Boss. He hadn't noticed that the wolves were already at rest near the boulder.
'9... 10! Now!'
He fired his Corruption Blast in the center of the three wolves. It was too late to change tactics now.
He would just have to hold back the monster on his own.
