Novel Full Chapter 433
The next morning, we didn’t even greet the people of Chalm. We had slipped into the mansion late last night, and we left early the next morning. We were back in the dungeon and heading down to the 15th floor. I had made a quick stop at the warehouse too, where I dumped all of the rewards from the golems. Although I didn’t convert the gems and crystals into money, it was probably a hefty amount. We had lost most of the awards from the level five miniboss, so it was nice having the ability to collect everything left over by the golems.
Floor fifteen contained more golems, but these guys could use magic. It turned out that they dropped elemental gems much like the elemental sprites. They had fire gems and air gems. At first, considering these gems were valuable, I had to wonder what the trap was. After all, level 12 was not only difficult to reach, but it threatened to kill you with hypothermia. The water gems and nature gems were well earned.
Other than that the golems were a lot tougher than the sprites. With magic added in, these guys were actually difficult to handle in a group and we found ourselves having to be careful. They could threaten to separate or incapacitate us if they hit with the wrong spell at the wrong time. It was the first time since I entered the dungeon that I felt a little stress and so I was glad that we had leveled up and rested before coming down here.
That said, this was a level with a kiosk on it. That meant that it should be easy to come and go at will. Access to the gems on this floor, then, made it feel a bit too easy. It left me feeling like there was a trap over my head that I just couldn’t see.
Furthermore, I hadn’t seen any knights. There was no guarantee that I would encounter anyone on this floor, I just thought that this would be the best opportunity if Lord Reign wanted to cause me trouble. At this point, he should be aware that I am working my way down the dungeon to bring out the king. I was guessing that this would cause problems with his plans, whatever they were.
The King’s party had naturally made it down to the 29th-floor kiosk, but everyone there had either disappeared or been wiped out. That didn’t mean that Lord Reign didn’t have those that had made it to 10, 15, or even 20. The lowest Raissa made it was 15, but that didn’t mean that there might not be Knights that had made it further. In that respect, 15 would probably be the best level to try to cause us trouble.
They could also have caused us trouble on 19, but the distance from 9-15 included the boss, the miniboss, and the wet and cold challenge. Meanwhile, from 15 to 19 was only 4 floors and didn’t include any bosses. Although the difficulty should spike again after this floor, fifteen would still be their best bet.
“Perhaps I miscalculated Lord Reigns intentions,” I muttered to myself.
After he had sent those Knights to kill me, I was certain that he was going to try something, but we ended up reaching the safe room without encountering a single knight or the floor’s miniboss. Although we didn’t relax completely, I made lunch and we rested in the safe room of the fifteenth floor.
