Chapter 254: Finishing The Dungeon Run
After I finished, I went ahead towards the next point, where I continued to collect materials from fallen monsters along the way. I had to admit, at first I couldn''t enjoy doing this, but with time I got used to grabbing the monster, opening its body, and collecting shiny materials from inside.
I felt groose at first, but I then adapted to the situation. With time, my material extraction speed got pumped up, and I could gather materials from a monster in a few span of seconds.
If I didn''t see these materials wasted, and I needed as many of them as I could collect, I would have preferred to let them rot in the first ce. However, many things could be done with these materials, and as a group master myself, I had to set an example for that.
As I reached the second cow boss, I found my demon had already beaten it. It seemed this boss was the agile kind, as it had thinner legs than the other boss monster. also I couldn''t find any minions anywhere around the fight ce.
That might be the reason why my demon was able to take it down so fast. I didn''tin, though, as all I cared about was to wrap this dungeon fast, and hurry to the other fight outside.
I hoped my yers wouldn''t be all wiped out until I came out. Putting the treacherous hideous thinking of my enemies, I was pretty sure they didn''t send all their yers to attack mine.
They just wanted it to look like this, but I was sure they wouldn''t risk sending everyone, and that would y in my best interest. If the number of enemies weren''t that huge, I was sure my yers would be able to hold until I leave here.
After gathering the materials from the fallen boss, I moved to the third one. This time I found my demon was still fighting that boss, which seemed to have an annoying regeneration ability, by summoning smaller monsters and sacrificing them.
The fight couldn''t have ended fast without my help, so I joined the battle again, using my spear to attack the mini bosses summoned, reducing the amount of Hp regained by the monster.
In between the summons, I would help my demon attacking the monster. This tactic helped in increasing the rate this monster lost its Hp, and gradually its Hp started to hit the bottom.
The moment this monster died, I felt greatly relieved. Thest boss monster, if my guess was right, would be a magician based one, with the ability to use spells, especially AOE skills.
This wouldn''t affect my demon, which had very tough defenses and thick skin, so I continued to collect materials, while watching my demon moving to thest boss.
After I finished, I moved after my pet, and as I reached thest boss monster, I was pleased to see it was like I expected.
It used a variety of AOE skills, trying to tackle my demon, but in return all it got was just a few damage that wasn''t even enough to consider.
On the other hand, its defense was low, and if not for its thick blood, it would be killed long ago. I didn''t stand by, as I used my spear to hit it, while my demon acted as the main DPS, taking all the Aggro and damage from that boss.
After five minutes of fighting, and the loud storm of skills, that monster finally fell, with a bang on the ground.
"Be ready to go out now," I ordered, while I went ahead to collect this colossal body''s materials. It took me a few more minutes to wrap things here, and once I did, I moved towards the main gate of this dungeon, exiting the ce.
The moment I reached out, I received a notification of me finishing the run, scoring the new record, and gaining a scroll.
However I didn''t even read that message, as the first thing I did was to assess the situation.
As I expected, they didn''t send everyone they had, only a couple of thousands stood on one side, trying to break through the tight defenses of my yers, who were still standing, most of them.
"Go there and kill them all," I muttered, pointing towards the rear yers who were trying to break in.
The moment I gave the order was the moment these yers'' nightmare began. The demon moved without any hesitation, wrecking havoc amongst the yers'' ranks.
"Princess, you have done it!" Elyo came with a big smile over her face that wasn''t suited with the current situation.
"It''s just a piece of cake, how are things up here?" I asked, as I noticed the yers ranks were now being devastated by my demon.
"Oh, they have attacked us the moment you entered the dungeon," she said, while looking towards the yers, "they didn''t look as strong as I initially thought, most of them are still at lower levels than twenty."
Her words made me be more sure of my previous assumptions. My enemy was really cunning, but I was blessed with luck and wisdom myself.
"don''t worry," I said, patting on her head, "they just tried to fake the appearance of a mighty army, and they failed, miserably failed," I muttered, while looking at my yers, "we need to wrap things here, before we can continue our leveling n," I said, while raising my spear, and attacking the yers up ahead with it.
So far, since I returned from the sacrednd, I didn''t have the need to use any skills to boost my mystic art. So, only one spear was enough, directing it towards the ces with dense yers, to break their gathering and making them feel fear.
As for Elyo, she returned to the frontlines, leading my yers in the attack, using the chances I was creating for them, me and my demon.
The fight didn''tst for ten minutes after my appearance, which was apanied by a game announcement as usual. The n of my enemies failed, and I knew they wouldn''t stop just at this.
The next step would be a total war, if they wanted to really stop my advance. A war of this scale would be hard to anticipate or control, so I knew why they refrained from using this in the first ce.
But now, I had tied up their hands, and they had to either submit and announce undered defeat, letting me go back to my rightful ce as the queen of this ce, or to go off limits, and start this war, which would cost them a lot, even if they seeded.
Thinking about these matters would take time, and so after all the enemy army was defeated, I stood amongst my yers as I proudly said:
"This battle ends in our victory, and as a reward, each one of you will have a dungeon run now with me."
I heard the cheers of my yers, celebrating the victory and the reward. Each dungeon run would be able to raise them a couple of levels at least, if not more.
As for me, I decided to enter with them, raise my level a bit, and try to seek for any suitable yers to form my own personal guards.
Up till now, I was the only one in the upper echelon of the group who didn''t have an army so far! Though our numbers were diminished, all who remained were considered elite and veteran yers. all my elders and vices still had some remnants of the yers they initially had.
So, the series of dungeon runs started, with me and my demon taking the lead. After the first run, I already knew the best way to best this dungeon, each boss monster stats, pros and cons. So, the next runs went up smoother than the first one, scoring even shorter time there, one run after another was making new records, announced by the game to everyone.
I didn''t know if I shouldugh or cry, as this would make my enemies more frustrated, but this would make them more settled at facing me, cutting off my way to advance.
I wasn''t afraid of fighting them, but I knew this war would really exhaust me, putting in mind I still have two legendary quests to fulfill, a group to restart building, and mystic arts to learn.
I had no time to waste on these losers, so I, intentionally, tried to elongate the time of each run, making it unable to beat the fastest record set under my name.
However, again, my enemies proved themselves quite unpredicted, and made me quite wary towards them.
I didn''t only fail to predict their next move correctly one time, but many times in a row, which was a loud rm, giving me warning regarding them.
That new guild, the one called Trinity, wasn''t that simple at all!
