Chapter 213: Mana Sick?

Chapter 213: Mana Sick?

The excitement of the group had fallen when Geth explained the situation. It became even worse once they'd led the party to the two-headed wolf.

The once lively conversations died, and a morose aura surrounded the party. Even the Mana wilted and was moving slower than normal.

He knew that it would be a blow to their morale, but this was depressing.

Geth watched Zolis approach the creature, which surprisingly didn't growl nor whimper once she'd walked near it. She summoned her own Direwolf, which prompted a similar response from the Sub-Boss as Kane had.

Both of the enormous heads leaned down, pressing their foreheads toward Zolis' wolf. Geth was surprised.

'Should it be this easy?'

'The others sensed the interaction between myself and their comrade. They are probably already expecting us.'

Geth nodded.

Since he could do nothing to help, he turned his attention toward his Grimoire. Surprisingly enough, it had counted Kane's inheritance as the Sub-Boss being killed by his party.

Only he and Filthy were in range to receive the benefits, but that merely increased their value. They hadn't gained experience, but the Points were more than enough.

***

Congratulations, User, for defeating a Sub-Boss. Please select a reward.

Note User's Level was far lower than Sub-Boss. Options reflect this disparity.

Option 1: 10 TP, 10 SP, 2 Random Epic Items

Option 2: 30 TP, 30 SP, 30 AP

Option 3: 15 SP, 15 TP, 5 Random Taming Cards

***

Geth glanced through the options and picked the second. Peter had mentioned that he would select all options with Taming Cards from now on.

Between the Points he'd received here and the ones from the Sub-Boss up top, he was starting to build a decent savings again.

The group proceeded down into the depths of the Dungeon. His original plans to rest were replaced by the urgency of freeing these Sub-Bosses before the mastermind became stronger.

"You doing okay?"

Sindri walked up beside him and looked at him curiously. She'd noticed his strange faces and slightly pale complexion while they were walking.

"Yeah, I'm doing fine. The Mana in this place is just stifling. It feels like one of my senses is being suppressed."

She placed her palm against his forehead and looked at him strangely again.

"Are you sure you're okay..? There's nothing wrong with the Mana in here..."

Geth raised his eyebrow. Could she not feel it?

"Blaze."

"Hm?"

The other man slowed his footsteps until he fell in stride beside the couple. He looked at Geth a bit curiously, feeling that something was off.

"You okay, man? You look sick."

Geth was surprised again. What was that supposed to mean?

"You don't feel that the Mana here is strange, either? Is it just me?"

Blaze shook his head.

"Everything is fine. Are you sure we don't need to go back and rest for a bit?"

Geth scrunched his brows.

'What's going on? Albus, can you feel it?'

'Yes, I can feel it as well. I'm not sure what it is. It seems familiar but foreign at the same time.'

*Sigh.*

"I'll be fine.. We don't have time to rest."
