Chapter 134 Aim For The Monster Room

"Let's move on, shall we? I have more skills to test."

Evan spoke up as he moved down the dungeon hall, stretching his hand into the air as he gave a mental command.

The unforged that was stabbed into the ground a few meters away from him suddenly vibrated before uprooting itself from the ground and flying into his open palm.

"That looks cool, how'd you do it?"

"Through the help of a skill called Weapon control."

Evan replied to her as he sent out a wave of magic power to detect if there were any enemies within a hundred-metre radius of his location.

"We have like a dozen more opponents incoming, let's wrap them up quick so we can see if we can reach a monster room today."

"Monster room?"

"Yeah. It's a room in a dungeon that spawns monsters a few levels higher than the monsters on that floor. Upon defeating those monsters, we get double experience points."

Evan replied to Pride as he counted the magic stones that Kuro placed in his palm when Eliza asked a question.

"Aren't we already getting double?"

"I know, a monster room makes it so we get quadruple."

"I see. How much is the difficulty increase?"

"At most ten levels, nothing we can't handle. The monsters of the first ten floors are usually around levels 95 and 120. The boss is usually above that by one or two.

So, the monsters in the monster room should be around 100-110. The three of us should be able to take that.

Also, the more monsters there are, the lower the average level so they might not be more than level 105."

Evan explained how the monster room worked from his game knowledge, making a mental note to test out if this was correct with the monster room that should be somewhere on floor three rather than the monster rooms on floor thirteen or floor twenty-three which would have more dangerous monsters.

As he explained more things to them, the group slowly advanced.

"Oh, just so you know, we might encounter rare monsters like the ones who just pop up and toss random potions at you or the ones who sneak around ad try to steal your weapon mid-fight,"

Hearing his words, Pride's eyebrow twitched as she asked.

"Don't you think you should have told us this before entering the dungeon? And why is this not on the adventurer handbook that I read?"

"Don't ask me why it is not there and in my defence, I only just remembered the existence of these monsters, because we are about to encounter one of them!"

As soon as Evan spoke, he activated his blink skill and disappeared, seconds before a crudely made glass bottle landed where he was standing just moments before.

**SHATTERR!!

The bottle shattered and left behind an elemental residue of its contents, that turned the ground purple and released occasional sparks of lightning.

"And this is why, any season Aidos online player, takes them out first."

Eliza and Pride suddenly heard Evan's voice coming from another location and reflexively turned in that direction, just in time to see him sever the head of a short yellow-skinned humanoid monster with a fire-clad blade.

The blade wraiths in front were stunned as they did not understand how Evan got there so quickly, but the young hero did not give them time to recover from their shock.

He stretched out his left hand and manipulated his energy, feeling his destructive energy circuit activate as magic power flowed through his arm and condensed in front of his outstretched palm.

In the next moment, it was launched forward as a beam of golden light that carried traces of blood red within it.

***BOOOOMM!!!!!

It landed on a blade wraith's torso, pulverizing the monster instantly before going on to consign three more monsters to oblivion.

However, instead of dissipating like usual, the beam exploded upon contact with the fourth blade wraith, releasing a shockwave that swept the other blade wraiths off their feet.

Pride and Eliza did not idle about and instantly dived into the fray, with Eliza summoning the radiant codex while activating her support magic skill simultaneously.

Rings of light appeared around both Evan and Eliza's hands and feet, increasing their strength and speed.

She flicked her fingers again and a ring golden ring appeared on their sword arms; it was a buff that increased their elemental damage by 20%.

"This is very useful."

Evan couldn't help but comment out loud as he appraised the ring of light, however, his expression darkened in the next moment as he sensed more enemies coming over to their location, perhaps being drawn by the sound of the explosion.

"Let's test out how good the doubler is, shall we?"

He said to himself before informing Pride and Eliza of his next actions and dashing forward to the incoming wave of enemies, leaving what was left of the first wave for Pride and Eliza to deal with.

His enhanced speed was faster than he had expected, causing him to have to slow down a bit, lest he crashed into the wave of enemies due to being unable to control his speed.

Instantly arriving in front of the first enemy, he swung his sword rapidly, taking advantage of his increased speed and strength to strike up to five times in a single breadth.

The unforged's effect activated and he instantly felt the effects of a 10% power boost as his second strike felt more powerful than the first.

Stretching out his free left arm, he launched an energy blast in the direction of the blade wraith that was charging at him from the side, before blinking away.

'Kayla.'

Upon reappearing in the midst of the enemies, he tossed his sword in the air and channelled his magic power as Kayla let her lightning flow through him.

Feeling the abundance of lightning that was too much for him to handle, Evan bumped his fists together before sending a punch to the ground in the middle of the group of enemies.

**BANGG! BANNNGGG!! BAAAAANNNNGGGGG!!!

The lightning flowed through his body as a conduit, spreading into the surroundings and zapping all the enemies within a dozen metres radius of his position.

Due to the influx of lightning that flowed through his body, even Evan found it a bit hard to move as his body was numbed by the lightning but a wave of green light that spread from Eliza and phased through the enemies, reached him and reinvigorated his body.

"Thanks!"

Evan called out as he spun round with his hand stretched out, his fallen sword flying back into his palm midway, just in time for him to sever the head of a blade wraith who happened to be within range.

Perhaps due to the effect of the residual lightning magic that was still coursing through his body, his speed was faster than normal as occasional golden sparks could be seen around his body as he moved.

On Pride's side of things, she was calmly dispatching one blade wraith after another with her demonic energy-infused sword.

About six blade wraiths surrounded her and attacked simultaneously but a translucent barrier of magic power blocked all their attacks and even knocked them back a bit.

Before Pride could take action, the spirit on her shoulders slammed her palms together as two ringed magic circles manifested below the feet of each of the blade wraiths.

In the next moment, a pillar of spiral flames erupted from the ground and engulfed the six blade wraiths, turning them into pieces of charred flesh in seconds.

'This little spirit is definitely higher levelled than all of us here, she was able to take out all these enemies in a single attack without breaking a sweat.'

Pride revaluated the little spirit who lazily readjusted her sleeping position on Pride's shoulders and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Eliza was casually bashing the head of an unlucky blade wraith with her staff as she watched the other two battle, supporting them when necessary and tuning the effects the buffs applied on them when required.

Right before she could increase the effect of Evan's speed buff, she felt a presence behind her and abruptly turned around, swinging her staff with the intention of bashing the head of whoever of whatever was behind her.

"Wha?!"

**BAMMM!!!!

Her staff collided with something and sent it flying into the wall beside her, however, the feedback she received told her that her sudden attack had been completely blocked.

She frowned as she applied a defence buff on herself, her sapphire eyes gazing in the direction where what she attacked slammed into.

"Did this guy seriously try to interfere with another group?!"

She heard an unfamiliar voice as a group of five consisting of two men and three women ran towards her location from the corridor behind her.

Upon seeing Eliza's wary expression, one of the men heaved a sigh and gestured for the others to stop before stepping forward with both hands raised high.

Seeing this, Eliza lowered her staff a bit but the buffs she applied to herself increased as she still did not let down her guard.

After all, she knew full well that the thing to be most wary of in a dungeon was not the monsters but other adventurers.
