Chapter 244 Crystal

Things got so easy from that point onward that Seris and Sauros thought that they were in another dungeon. That was the difference between using an appropriate class for an appropriate challenge… since that class also had high Resistance, the cold wasn't bothering Aion anymore. Crossing that sector will be a cinch.

In any case, while the estimation was that they would reach the fifth area after almost one week, they reached the area after just five days.

In theory, that was supposed to be the final area of the labyrinth, but it was hard to be sure. Still, the group could feel a powerful and cold wind coming from the next area… so they couldn't camp anywhere near it. Even Aion began to feel a bit cold after enduring that for a while.

"This definitely feels like the entrance of the last part of the labyrinth…" Seris said. "In any case… this wind is… troublesome."

"What do you think, Aion?" Sauros asked. "I can keep doing the same thing, but it will be less effective for now… I might be able to do something about it, but only if I think that is absolutely necessary."

"So, you have some cards that you want to keep hidden…" Sauros rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Since that is the case, I should be the one who should stop holding back. For now, you should focus on making full plate armor that can protect our whole bodies, Seris. I will do something after that to help."

"So, you will do that, huh…" Seris said.

Aion would be thankful if those morons stopped talking in code. Still, he decided not to ask about it since he was thinking about Force Release again. If he goes all out with the Necromancer class, he could imagine that he will have an easy and a lot of time to think about it.

Instead of heading as soon as possible to the next floor, they waited for Seris to work on the armors. In the meantime, Aion moved away from the group to see if the monsters would keep coming if he was in the middle of the last bifurcation of the dungeon.

As it turned out, the monsters actually came from the sides, and Aion summoned his archer and the earth mage. He made them fight the monsters whenever they showed up without exposing themselves to the direction Seris and Sauros could come. Eventually, Aion reached his next goal, and the class reached level ninety.

You obtained 05 status points.

You obtained 03 improvement points.

The class Necromancer has reached level ninety, and now you can use the passive Gravity Resistance.

Gravity Resistance: decreases the effects and damage caused by gravity by one point per level.

"... Is gravity really that amazing for this to be the last skill of this class?" Aion frowned.

That kind of magic was too high tier, so he never saw anyone using it. He couldn't use it either… so leveling up will be hard. He sure hoped that it would level up fast when he got it, though.

In any case, Aion let those guys do the work for him since he could recover mana faster when they did the killing, and it was better than freezing by getting too close to the enemies. Still, after one hour, Sauros called him because Seris had finished her work. She mounted three sets of armor that could perfectly fit them… and despite some parts that showed that they had been mounted in parts and the helmet, it made Aion recall those diving suits since they could cover every single part of their bodies. It was a lot slimmer, though.

"I used Aion's gems to enhance the parts separately against the cold, and there was another layer below the armor that used fire runes to keep us warm," Seris explained.

While that was fine and all, Aion disliked the idea of him taking out his usual armor. Still, he didn't have any other choice. Once he equipped the dark blue armor, Aion felt the warmth of the runes… one could only hope that they would keep working like that. Also, he wasn't claustrophobic, but it was a pretty annoying feeling to stay inside such a large armor.

"Let's finish this quickly. I don't like this sensation," Aion said.

While Seris and Sauros didn't say anything about it, they wondered how they could finish things quickly when the next area would be even larger… and in the best-case scenario, a powerful beast would be waiting for them at the end, and in the worst case scenario, there would be another area even larger waiting for them…

The group headed toward the next area, and they felt a bit relieved when the cold wind of the tunnel before the next area wasn't affecting them that much. Eventually, they reached the place and couldn't help but blink several times when they saw several spots around them where the cold had concentrated so much that they became like small flowers that looked like crystals… those emitted a particularly strong cold wind…

"So far, so good," Sauros said. "How are you two?"

"I am fine," Seris replied.

"I want my old armor," Aion replied.

After looking around for a while, the group heard grunts in the distance, and Aion moved forward. While he only had eight points of health, and he probably would die if he slipped, old habits die hard… in any case, a massive monster that was running with four legs approached.

The creature was eight meters long and two meters tall. Its body had a pale blue tone, but the area around its head and neck had thick white fur. However, the most prominent features of the creature were its deep blue eyes and the fangs and claws that the beast had… they were transparent like glass. Still, they sure weren't frail like that… they were made of crystal-rich in mana, so they should be even tougher than steel…
