Chapter 530 Cleaning Dungeons (I)

Instead of returning to the Hell Mode that Sigma and Dolly cleared, we jumped straight into the Abyss Difficulty. Although Dolly protested tackling the Abyss Difficulty because we only had 3 members in our party, I reassured her that we would be alright and that if things became terrible, I would summon a companion to help out. She still complained but soon shut her mouth when Sigma herself reassured her, which made me sigh at how stubborn she is at times. It's not a bad thing but it's quite annoying at times.

Just like before, I continue to fight with a pure swordsman build, not using any skills that are not related to the Swordsman class, and didn't switch to any class available in my class tree or reverted t my usual playstyle.

"Why are you forcing in just using the swordsman class alone? It seems you are also limiting yourself by forbidding the other classes to even interact with your fighting style. Are you perhaps trying to do a new playstyle or are you just trying to master it out?"

"I am trying to master it out. I just realized that my battle style before is too limited and I barely have any usage of some classes. I want to master all the classes I have and incorporate them into my battle style to create unpredictable tactics that would make the other players have a hard time fighting back."

"Heh? Really? If that is the case, I will try to observe your movements, study them carefully, then use that to my advantage the next time we face off against each other in the arena once more."

Ah, that's right. Sigma is still upset after her defeat against me during the last Battle for Blood. She is finding a good chance to find my fatal flaw and use that to her advantage in the future once we face off again in a PVP battle, perhaps during the next Battle for Blood since I have to defend my seat of being the champion to continue winning.

"Hahaha, interesting, You are really motivated huh? Then so be it, watch all you want. I will look forward to our next match."

Sigma smiled as we dashes behind Dolly who decided to went on ahead while we are speaking.

,m ...

If players heard of us speedrunning a dungeon in Abyss Difficulty, their first reaction would be to say "Are you joking?" or perhaps "That's impossible" and that is the majority of the answers that would appear even if someone decided to tally it up.

However, because of our efforts, the Abyss mode is just another difficulty that is difficult in paper but easier if done right. Due to our efforts, the Abyss Mode was a breeze that I felt like it was a joke instead of a difficulty spike meant to challenge. Perhaps we are just too overpowered for the dungeon's mobs to even handle or perhaps they are just too weak to handle our attacks, either of it still works.

Like planned, we did it multiple times but because it was the Abyss Mode, it was longer and much more troublesome to handle compared to Hell Mode so after 10 runs, Sigma and Dolly are already tired as they are not used to the multiple battles like that straight. My body also felt the same though not as bad as them. Perhaps my mind is just causing my body to fully adapt to what I experienced in the past timeline.

We didn't do the initial thirty runs planned for now but even with just the 10 runs we did, the drops that we got is already quite overwhelming to the point it is comparable to a normal raid drop. That's just how much drops we received after the 10 dungeon runs and how insane the drop rates was during the event. Not only that but the experience gain I received is quite high despite being a level 90 dungeon. It even managed to increase my exp bar by a few points after we stopped which is quite nice.

Currently, we returned to the mansion as I cooked food and some drinks for them as refreshments. Even if it was just a game, fatigue still needs to be controlled or else you will easily fall sick and sluggish you can't move at all in the game.

"Here are your drinks guys," I handed them the drinks and the two of them happily took one glass of drinks.

"Ha, nothing beats a fresh refreshments after an extensive dungeon rush. I can't believe we fought for a few hours already and we still just finished 10 runs," Dolly gulped down the glass in one sitting.

"Haha, you are right. We might have done a few dungeon runs before but not this extensive. But even so, it was more rewarding compared to the previous dungeons runs we have without the event happening."

"Right? I never knew this was a thing until just now. In fact, I am grateful since we can get lots of items that we may possibly be using. I still can't believe how much the rewards were dropping. It's kind of unsettling since it was like something was afoot and there is a catch with all of this."

I didn't expect for Dolly to immediately figure things out. Indeed, there was a catch since if dungeon clears were not done before the grace period ends, then the Dungeon break will occur and monsters will start to flood the game world and even the safe zones will become a hostile zone until players reclaim them again. Of course, I can't reveal this tidbit of info to them. As much as I want to say it, it's not something I will need to reveal until the very end. I am not here to change what was bound to happen and this would at least teach players to stop their greed.

It was for the best and unless I want to rewrite the future with this, I would rather let it happen for now and see how players react to it.
