Chapter 686 Landing On The Third And Last Floor!
-----
Once we arrived at the third Dungeon Floor, we were greeted by a large group of Giant Black Spiders, all of them being as strong as C+ Rank. Their very presences exuded powerful, dark auras; however, they weren't any stronger than the ones we've faced on the first and second floors anyways.
"Charge! AWOOOOO!" Roared Fenrir, commanding the troops of Familiars.
"Attack from above! Don't let them sneak out of Fenrir's army!" Roared Draco.
The two Familiar Generals led the two small armies of Familiars. The Grizzlies equipped with Claws quickly tanked the hits of the giant spiders, while distracting them and using their sharp claws to hold them in place.
Meanwhile, groups of weaker Fenrirs sneaked around them while carrying Spores above their bodies, spreading poisonous spores, and paralyzing spores, weakening them.
At the same time, a squadron of flying Familiars, composed of Dracos, Huginn, and Falcos fired long-ranged magic attacks from above, constantly doing some extra damage while not losing anything themselves.
Lastly, a squadron of Ogre Shaman Kings gathered behind Fenrir, unleashing devastating Elemental Magic of Lightning, Ice, and Fire, constantly shaking the surroundings.
And all of that in just half a minute. The power of my Familiars was increasing more and more, and their utility was becoming clear to my friends, and also, soon to the whole country, continent, and the world.
Much like the ancient summoner, Allen, the power to summon Familiars is designed as a way to fight against the endless armies of the demons, and their relentless desire to conquer this world.
Those battlefields where even the Continental Alliance cannot break through will eventually need our help, so I have to train as hard as I can for that day that is soon to come.
"Now, everyone, fight! While the monsters are distracted and being weakened!" I commanded, my Vampire Spirits and the rest of my friends charged into the fight.
And wile multi-tasking to manage my Summons, I also stepped into the battle. Our powerful magic and skills, boosted thanks to the Buff Cards effects greatly improved our battle prowess.
"These Buff Cards you've made are insane, I've never felt so strong before!" Laughed Erdrich.
"Y-Yeah! Let's continue charging in!" Alberta nodded.
"Let's go!" Erika roared, flying with her wings.
The trio charged forward in the frontlines, sometimes without even waiting the Giant Grizzlies to catch up to tank the hits and beating the Giant Spiders with their mighty blows and magic spells.
Erdrich's physical prowess was unparalleled, as he charged forward everything was set ablaze with Demonic Flames, his fists and kicks torn the monsters body parts to pieces, his furious charge was unstoppable, like a legendary Asura.
Alberta was growing more accustomed to stepping into battle using her heavy, reinforced golem armor, which enhanced her physical might and could even fire out spells by itself, and her giant hammer, which could change its size at will, facilitating the process of crushing enemies.
Erika, well… She was Erika, charging recklessly in the frontlines was her specialty, combining her skills together, she bombarded the spiders with deadly dragon breath attacks, swung her giant demonic sword to cut down foes, and combined the powers of her Dolls into Spirit Weapons for long-ranged attacks.
Meanwhile, at my side, Elizabeth, Eric, Elfriedden, and Chris combined their magical prowess, firing devastating long-ranged magic attacks that cleansed any mess the frontliners left behind.
Before the might of our combined efforts, the spiders continued falling one after another, their corpses being left out in the floor and quickly disappearing as they were transported into my Inventory.
Dozens of spiders fell, which quickly became over twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty… When we reached over seventy spiders dead, we decided to take a break, as the buffs of the Buff Cards had already disappeared, and with that came extreme fatigue.
Ding!
[You and your Allies have defeated [Giant Black Spider Warriors (C+ Rank)] x76!]
[You earned 76.000.000 EXP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 54 to level 59!]
[All Your Stats have increased.]
[You earned Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]
The amount of EXP that C+ Rank monsters gave was utterly insane, usually being 500k EXP, but thanks to my Hard Worker Skill at Max Level, that EXP doubled to 1 Million. Nonetheless, the requirements I need to level up are just as ridiculous, asking for millions of EXP per level, no normal person would be able to level up like this without the bonuses I've worked hard to obtain.
Once we decide to take a rest, I quickly set up a barrier around us using all the grizzlies we had, with Fenrir and the Dracos watching over. We've cleansed mostly all the monsters within this area of the floor anyways.
Using my scouting Familiars and the small Shadow Spider Golems, I was able to easily discern this entire labyrinthian Dungeon in mere seconds, and wrote it all down into my Grimoire. With this, I was able to discern that we've mostly gone through the slower, yet more rewarding route EXP-wise.
There were a few small fries lurking far away, but most of the concentration of this colony was located on its depths, where the Queen was located. Seems like they have panicked and instantly went to protect her without confronting us anymore, but that'll make things much easier for us, we can go to the dungeon's depths and instantly finish this job.
"Looks like we're almost done anyways." I said. "Most of the monsters went to protect the final boss, so once we get down there, we'll be able to finish this quickly."
"That's reassuring… I'm tired." Eric sighed.
"Y-Yeah… Finally." Alberta smiled.
"Phew, I'm exhausted… We fought so much I've ran out of all my Stamina and Mana by now!" Erika sighed, feeling completely exhausted. "Potions alone won't do it… I need some tasty meal from my boyfriend!" She glanced at me with puppy eyes.
"Yeah, yeah!" Elizabeth nodded.
"I wouldn't mind something yummy before the big boss." Eleanora smiled charmingly.
"…Fine, let's make something simple though, we don't have all the time of the world." I sighed.
It seems I've grown accustomed to spoil these girls…
