nTreasure Chest Mimic: Lv6 Rank: E State: Shocked

nI knew it! That suspicious chest was actually a Mimic!, it was so obvious… like, a shiny treasure chest sitting right in front of us in the middle of nowhere? How’s that not weird? Especially because we had not found any treasure chest yet, so it was even rarer. I mean, some naïve guy might have thought he was finally getting lucky, go near the treasure, open it, and get eaten instantly. But not us, of course… heh.

nThe creature was terribly shocked, but I showed no mercy as I siphoned its Mana and Lifeforce while firing Dark Spheres from nearby. The chest-like shell easily cracked against my darkness, and it splattered all over the ground. The creature’s true body was like that of a mass of tentacles with a large jaw attached to it.

nPartner went ahead and impaled it several times with her spear, filling it with venom with each thrust. The creature tried to grab her legs, but I sliced apart its tentacles until it gave up and died. I can’t help but admit it looked disgusting.

nDing!

n…

nLooking at my stats, I noticed they had increased quite a lot once more. Each level feels… I don’t know how to say it… Erm, “delicious” in a way. It just gives me a nice full feeling. As if with each level, my soul grows stronger.

nPartner also grew stronger, and she managed to reach Level 7 just like me, but her level cap is 10 instead of 12, so she’ll most likely evolve before me… Hey, that’s kind of not fair! Maybe my evolution is even rarer than hers?

nWell, anyway, this thing dropped some loot, just as if it were a treasure chest, I picked everything up.

nYou’ve acquired the following Items

nDark Steel Helmet (E-Grade): Lv6 x1

nDark Steel Chest Armor (E-Grade): Lv4 x1

nTreasure Chest Mimic’s Shattered Shell (E-Grade) x6

nTreasure Chest Mimic’s Slippery Tongue (E-Grade) x1

nTreasure Chest Mimic Disgusting Flesh and Blood (E-Grade) x10

n…

n“Ooh! Lookie, Partner! These are ideal for you!”

n*Rattle?*

nPartner admired the armor pieces, her glowing red lights shining from within her empty sockets. The armor looked nice, but I already had my witch hat, and even though I wanted the chest armor, it would get in the way of my sneaky way of fighting, so I gave it all to Partner to reinforce her defensive prowess.

nShe quickly equipped everything and looked pretty nice! The dark metallic helmet and the chest armor made her look more fearful, like a true Skeleton Soldier you would find in a dungeon.

n“You’re looking so cool!”

n*Rattle!*

nPartner seemed happy with her new equipment, and her defensive power strengthened.

nAfter this little fight, we sneaked onto Floor 6, only to find… Eh? Nothing?

nThere was nothing on floor 6, so we slowly crawled to Floor 7.

nBut this kept up for a while as there was nothing on Floor 7, nor 8, nor 9, nor 10…

nWhat is going on? Where were all the monsters?

nMmm… Maybe something is going on in the Dungeon? I guess because it is new, monsters are just beginning to emerge.

nHowever, that ended relatively quickly, as, at Floor 11, we finally found a critter to kill and get some EXP.

nIn fact… a lot!

nThere were dozens after dozens of kitten-sized bugs.

nThey looked like beetles and were either blue-colored, red-colored, or yellow-colored.

nBlue Beetle Soldier: Lv4 Rank: F State: Eating

nRed Beetle Warrior: Lv6 Rank: F State: Eating

nYellow Beetle Scout: Lv3 Rank: F State: Eating

nThey were crawling through the floor, the ceiling, and everywhere!

nAre there a hundred?!

nAnd we also saw several carcasses of monsters which they were devouring in front of us… It seems that they had been hunting the monsters on the previous floors.

nWhew.

nBy using Shadow Sneak and Stealth, I was able to sneak through them quickly, and they also had terrible detection abilities, which made my job even easier. I began absorbing their Mana and Life while sneaking around which began to weaken them in masse.

nPartner rushed right away from the staircase at my signal as she began to slaughter dozens of weakened and sickly beetles with her foot, claws, and spear.

nIt was a bug massacre.

nCLASH! SPLAT! CRUSH! BOOM!

nI began to fire some Dark Spheres and Dark Gales, allowing for a miserable death that the bugs didn’t expect. I guess they would be overwhelming in numbers against single monsters that were not as amazing as us, but we are a dream team, so we massacred them. And there were so many that I was able to absorb their Mana and Life constantly, so it was an easy job.

nEven if some of the red ones fired fireballs at me, I easily evaded, or Partner took the hits for me while I sliced them into nothing with Dark Gale. Each individual EXP was very low, but when we killed dozens after dozens, well, that became a LOT of EXP.

nAt the end of the whole ordeal, we had leveled up more than once, but Partner was covered in bug carcasses and bug juice…

nDing!

nCalculating EXP…

nYou’ve gained 2650 EXP

nYour level has increased to Level 8!

nYour level has increased to Level 9!

nYour level has increased to Level 10!

nLevel up frenzy…
