"Well then, are we finally going to finish this, or are there other side quests for us here?" Aion asked once they reached the area of the dungeon.
"What is a side quest?" Seris asked.
"One of the worst things a gamer only interested in the main storyline can face," Aion replied.
"What is a gamer?" Seris asked.
Aion decided to shut up since that might go on forever. Even though he had some time to kill since the others were still preparing, he would instead not explain something that nonsensical seriously. Regardless, some of the crewmen are going to join them since they found more weapons and a shit ton of magic stones.
"I was going to ask you to cover for us again, but I can tell that you are itching to fight the monsters for whatever reason," Sauros said. "I guess I will split the others in the defense and offense team."
"That won't be necessary," Aion declared. "I can attack and defend at the same time."
"How exactly?" Sauros asked.
Aion knew that even he couldn't fight up close against that kind of enemy underwater. Still, the Spearman class was about to reach the max level, so he needed to pull that off. In the last three days, when Aion was bored out of his mind, he thought of how to do that.
In the end, Aion concluded that he could only rely on magic while underwater. Still, even if he enhances his magic with the money he obtains on the island, it wouldn't be that efficient. Unless he combines his magic with the power of the class.

Throw: it grants you the power to throw your weapon with deadly power and accuracy. The damage is equal to your strength plus three percent per level.
Cost: 20 stamina
Stamina Recovery: it grants you the power to recover stamina by defeating enemies. The amount will be equal to the level of the skill divided by two.
When Aion got Stamina Recovery, he felt more eager to level up the class and the skill since he couldn't recover his Stamina aside from resting even with magic. That skill was going to be useful underwater since he won't get tired. Regardless, the trick was to use wind magic around the weapon to control it. The only downside was that mana would be confused at every single moment.
Aion showed Sauros how he could control the spear without his hands, and it could fly pretty fast as well, so it could be used underwater.
"... Have you heard that there was a tribe in the past that could do that?" Sauros asked while frowning.
"No… that question is quite stupid when you guys hide so much information about the past," Aion said.
"You make a good point. Since we are like a ghost society and our mission is to prevent the use of time magic, we know more than most," Sauros said. "In any case, I guess only someone that descended from the Mirelis bloodline would manage to pull that off… feel of them in the past tried to use close combat weapons, so it was unavoidable that no one tried that before. I suspect that it can only use that for a short while."
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
His guess was right, but hell would freeze over before Aion declared such weakness in his techniques. If he uses it at full power, he could only use it for five minutes with his current magic… if he didn't want to level up that class, he could use another weapon with the necromancer class and make it an even more powerful version, but that was something for later.
The whole group began to jump into the ocean, and the arrival of so many targets made the monsters around swim toward them in droves. Even though they were a few kilometers away from the dungeon, their numbers still were high.
"That is the price we pay for leaving them alone for three days," Aion thought.
Sauros and Seris covered for the others while they were readying themselves, and Aion didn't have the need to help. However, things changed when they approached the dungeon. The number of monsters increased exponentially.
Aion threw his spear, and with the help of his wind magic, he made the weapon skin so fast that it made some of the crew members be pulled toward it. Nevertheless, the attack hit the target and passed through it like it was made of butter…

The weapon turned to the side in a short arc and then immediately flew in a straight line and faster than the next target could move. Another target was killed rather easily…
"I knew that this combination would be strong, but not this strong," Aion thought. "While it requires some focus to control it with that speed and precision. This is way too strong…"

Not even Sauros and Seris could keep up with Aion's speed of killing the monsters. He also felt that he was getting carried away with that. Still, he wondered if he could create a massive ice or earth spear and then crush hundreds of monsters by making the weapon spin horizontally and pull the monsters toward it. That certainly would be quite flashy, if anything…
