nGeth continually healed his weaker party members. It reminded him of when he would play a healer in video games.

nThe power leveling of the trio went smoothly. Rachel managed to reach 25 first and the other two shortly after.

nThe average Levels of the Zombies had been around 28, so they were getting bonus experience while farming. In total, they had killed close to a hundred of the creatures.

nThe leveling process went a lot quicker than Geth had expected. He assumed that individually, they would struggle to kill the Zombies.

nGeth was proven wrong. The Zombies were extremely weak! The only thing intimidating about them was how difficult they were to kill.

nEven Matt, whose build wasn't for fighting, found them easy to handle with flame magic. The group of 34 that he had faced quickly burnt to a crisp.

nRoss had the most troublesome time since he was a purely physical build. All of his Skills were more focused on single target damage.

nAt this point, everyone had achieved their Class selection. Geth was waiting for them to make their choice so they could continue.

nRoss didn't waste any time selecting the Fighter class. Rachel chose the Knight class after finding that it would help increase her ability with the sword.

nBoth received some powerful equipment from their Class change as well. Geth raised his eyebrow when he saw Matt's serious expression.

nThe young man was staring down at his Grimoire with his thumb placed under his chin. His eyes squinted tightly together as if he were contemplating something.

nAfter almost 15 minutes, a bright light finally flashed from his direction. Geth's curiosity peaked as he noticed that Matt's Grimoire had turned into a scroll.

nThe scroll was thick and reminded him of something in an old Egyptian museum he'd visited. He intended to ask about it, but Matt approached him first.

n

"I had a hard time deciding. Sorry for taking so long,

" Matt spoke as he walked over.

nGeth nodded,

"Some tough choices?

"

n

"Yes, I was offered a Class that suited me. The only problem is, both the survivability and battle ability are low. After some dilemma, I decided to choose it anyway.

"

nGeth didn't say anything and just raised his brow. He waited patiently for the young man to continue.

nMatt seemed relieved that Geth wasn't angry,

"I chose the Scribe Class. It will allow me to perform my work in the Library better.

"

n

"That's interesting. I wondered if there were Classes geared towards utility instead of just battle.

" He stroked his beard while he wondered about Bruce and the others back home.

n

"Well, the Skill that I received is called 'Inscription.' It allows me to directly inscribe my thoughts to a surface at the cost of Mana.

nThe Talent I chose gave me two awesome perks! One is that I can receive experience through the number of pages I write.

nThe other is that I also get experience based on the value of information that I learn. I can pretty much Level up just by researching and writing about monsters!

"

n

"Hmm? A different way to Level? That is certainly going to be a boon for you,

" Geth told him.

n'It seems that there are still many things unknown to us about this place,' He shook his head before gathering the group together.

n

"Well, I'll leave it to you all to decide. Should we charge directly in, or do you think that we should pick the creatures off?

" He asked the group.

nAlise spoke up first,

"If all of the Zombies are so weak, it shouldn't be a problem to charge in. It doesn't seem like the corpses have any abilities at all.

"

n'You are correct. These corpses seem to have been raised with weak magic.

nMost are incapable of retaining their intelligence or abilities from their previous life.' Albus transmitted the message through everyone's Grimoires.

nFilthy nodded,

"Knowing that, I agree with rushing. The only problem is, how are you going to hold the aggro of Boss and Sub-Bosses while we thin the herd?

"

n

"I don't think we'll have to worry about the Boss as long as we stay away from the center. Harris and Farris can handle one of the Sub-Bosses.

nHulk has just as much Defense as I do at this point. He can handle one or two as long as their abilities are physical.

nI'll take care of any that can cast spells if needed. I don't think that we will have any issues.

"

nZolis was the next to speak,

"Just leave the mobs to Rachel and me since we have AOE Skills. Everyone else should work on the Sub-Bosses.

nStart with the one Harris and Farris are tanking. Once it dies, move down the line. We can secure the loot before touching the Dungeon Crystal.

"

nEveryone nodded in agreement. It would make the process easier and safer for the tanks.

nFilthy left for a moment to scout the area. The tanks would try to enter as close as possible to the enemies they would be facing.

nThe rest of the group would run with the brothers. Zolis and Rachel would stop a bit short of where they would be fighting.

nMost of the Zombies would run towards the living, so it would be easy to bait them into the girls' attacks. Their job was just to massacre.

n'Well, the big lead I had will be eaten up today,' Geth chuckled to himself. 'Both of these women will surpass all of us, even if one person gets all of the last Boss hits.'

nIt didn't bother him. He'd known for a while that he would have to rely on the many bonus points and the equipment he had to stay ahead.

nWhile he was thinking, Filthy made it back to the clearing. The others gathered around to listen.

n

"The lowest Level of the Sub-Bosses is on the eastern side. The highest two Levels are both standing near the center. The last is off to the west.

"

nHe looked at Geth before speaking again,

"Our assumptions were wrong. All four of the large creatures were Sub-Bosses. I can't find the Boss anywhere.

"

nGeth thought about it for a moment. No Boss? Did it find a way to leave the formation?

n

"I'll take the center and see if the Boss shows up. Once you've finished with the first Sub, kill the Zombies around the perimeter and help Hulk.

nDon't go anywhere near the middle. Let's get it done quickly and hope we don't run into any surprises.

"

nThe group nodded and began to split up. Albus spoke to Geth as he began to trek towards the northern side of the cemetery.

n'I may have been wrong. The information that I have access to shows that the Bosses shouldn't have the ability to leave their area.

nIt's possible that some of the Runes here were altered. All of the other Dungeons have been inside caves, where the Formations were challenging to access.'

nGeth thought about what that implied. Was there someone around with the capability to edit the Formations? If so, that would mean that they understood the Runes better than him.

n'But what could they hope to gain from freeing a Boss?'

n
