Chapter 19: To the Temple of Destruction.
After going back home, I took a bath and rested.
I went to my room and checked on the phone. While I was checking it, I received a call from a random number.
'This is suspicious' I thought, so I prepared a voice changer app and used the Mickey Mouse voice.
I answered the number and said
"Hello?" I said in the Mickey Mouse voice.
"Hey Dendi, this is Claire from before. I'm wondering if you're interested in a mock battle with me. " She said this while turning on her video camera, showing her in her office. I then turned off the voice changer and turned on my video camera. It would be rude if she was the only one turning it on.
"Umm, sure. But what will happen if one of us gets injured? " I said. I was really interested in it because I've never fought an awakened before.
"It's not a problem; we will be fighting with really strong healers. Just make sure not to do too much; think of it as a way to introduce ourselves better. " She replied
"I see. Sure, let's do it then. When? " I asked her
"What about next week?" She asked me
"I have a test for school. I am free in two days, though." I told her
"Alright, sure. See you on Wednesday, 5 PM. " She told me this while waving before calling it off.
Well, that's nice. Though I'm still not sure how I should control my power because my arrows follow the target and never miss. One hit from my arrow and it would be dangerous. Unlike monsters, humans are fragile, not to mention the chance of [Reaper Scythe] activating. Well, I'll think about it later.
For now, let's farm some endless mode, and get enough money for [Refresher Orb].
[Refresher Orb: Refreshes the cooldowns of all abilities, 180 second cooldown 5200 Gold>]
Oh, talking about items, I nearly forgot about my [Trusty Shovel]. I used it and got some nice loot, but no kobolds appeared. The chance of this happening in a row is statistically low.
[EXP: 870/1010] <+550>
[Gold: 3850] <+550>
[Endless Mode: Stage 7]
[Would you like to enter? YES/NO]
[YES]
I was teleported to a dark, humid cave with green stuff in some places. Let's try to do the usual.
[Stage 7: Starting in 0 seconds]
[Spiderling
HP: 1100/1100]
Five spiders crawled out of the holes. I shot them as usual, and they died. More and more of them spawned, and they all died from the continuous activation of [Reaper Scythe]. It wasn't much of a challenge until
[Broodmother
HP: 2500/2500
Skill:
> Incapacitating Bite (40% chance to disarm the opponent for 2 seconds on attack)]
I should avoid getting attacked at all cost to avoid getting disarmed. So I kept on running and running, took me 30 seconds to get her health down to 40%. I manually activated [Reaper Scythe] and she died on the spot.
[LVL 11 -> LVL 12]
[EXP: 1060/1050] <+1200>
[LVL 12 -> LVL 13]
[EXP 10/1250]
[Gold: 5050] <+1200>
'5050 Gold, and [Refresher Orb] costs 5200 Gold. I guess I'll take a rest for a while before doing the next stage'
I took my rest and proceeded to the next stage.
[Endless Stage 8: Starting in 0 seconds]
As the round started, the earth shook and golems came out of the ground.
[Stone Golem:
HP: 1200
Skill:
> Throw (Throws stone at 3x current Movement Speed, dealing 75 magic damage), 1 seconds cooldown]
Five of them spawned, and they immediately threw stones at me. Luckily, they were all predictable, so I just moved to the sides, easily dodging all of the stones. It was quite a tough workout because they kept throwing stones without stopping. I killed all five of them, and another five spawned.
Of course, like in the previous wave, I dodged them all, but I'm getting quite tired. Luckily, I finished them off before I got too exhausted. I saved some energy for the final boss. Bring it on.
[LVL 13 -> LVL 14]
[EXP: 60/1280] <+1300>
[Gold: 6350] <+1300>
Oh, the stage has ended already. I'm quite tired now, and I'm hungry. So I went to the kitchen to grab some bites while also checking on my new stats.
[Dendi
ATK: 103-115 dmg + 20
MS: 3.9 m/s
AS: 1.1s - 0.6s
DEF: 41% + 10%
RES: 25%
1160/1160 HP <4.6 hp/s>
790/790 MP <3.2 mp/s>]
Ohh, that's nice. I'm getting even faster movement speed and attack.
I proceeded to open the [Shop] and bought a [Refresher Orb]
[Refresher Orb: Refreshes the cooldowns of all abilities, 180 second cooldown <5200 Gold>]
[Gold: 1150] <-5200>
Haha, that's a lot of gold gone. But now that I've got this, I'm ready to fight [Temple of Destruction].
So I took some rest.
I opened the [Dungeon Map] and looked at the info once more.
