Capítulo 15: Magic Crystals

A/N) Just letting everyone know that magic stones are what monsters drop and Magic Crystals are the spell-infused magic stones.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alvar made his way towards babel in his 'Cyrus' outfit. There are guards that check if you are an adventurer or not, but Alvar is planning to sneak in instead of going in as 'Alvar' and changing back into his 'Cyrus' outfit.

He doesn't want to waste time doing that when he can just sneak in to test out his Magic Crystals and then move his way down to the 18th floor.

Alvar can 'hide' his armour and 'unhide' it, but he can only 'hide' one armour set while the rest he has on acts as regular clothing no matter how it looks. He could be wearing armour made out of adamantite, but if his 'hidden' set is made out of cloth then any blade can cut through his armour like paper.

Alvar isn't planning on taking off his hidden set just to enter the dungeon because he is still used to his world when it was survival of the fittest. It's a peaceful place now but some things are harder to forget than others.

Alvar shook his head to get rid of the bad memories.

'I can't get depressed when I'm so close to meeting her again.' Alvar thought walking along the streets. He made his presence as small as possible so that no one will notice him.

Alvar arrived at Babel and just walked inside, while the guards didn't even notice him at all.

"Did you feel something?" asked Guard A while he looked around and saw nothing strange.

"Felt what?" asked Guard B and looked at Guard A like he was crazy.

"I thought I felt something walk by, but it must have been the wind," said Guard A and shrugged his shoulders.

'I'm shocked that guard was able to sense a bit of my presence.' Alvar looked at the guard a bit and shook his head.

'Too bad he's just a guard.'

Alvar made his way to the first floor and released his hidden presence alerting the goblins around him. Alvar gathered his mana inside his and released a fireball which killed all the goblins in front of him.

After throwing all the stones inside his storage, Alvar made his way to the next floor and started looking for a smaller group of monsters.

As Alvar made his way to the second floor, he was greeted by a kobold. He took out the first Magic Crystal he made and threw it at the kobold's head.

'Hope it works.' Alvar crossed his fingers watching the Magic Crystal break on impact.

When the crystal broke, it released the Magic missile that was trapped inside of it. The thing that Alvar didn't consider was what would happen to the rest of the mana that was inside the crystal.

The answer was that it would get consumed by the spell, increasing its strength. This means that the Magic Missile that was half the size of an arrow exploded the top half of the kobold's body while the arrow made a dent in the dungeon wall behind the corpse.

'... It did better than what I expected.' Alvar thought while nodding his head.

'Wait... What would happen if I use the magic stone of a monster from the Deep Floors? Wouldn't the mana quality be a lot better?' Alvar pondered while taking out another Magic Crystal and walked to the next 'volunteer'.

This Crystal has the spell 'Sparkles' inside of it. This was a spell Alvar made when he was bored and decided to call it 'Sparkles' because... well it sparkles...

'Why does it feel like my naming sense is being judged?' Alvar thought annoyed but ignored it when he found a group of goblins.

'Here goes nothing.' Alvar threw the stone in the middle of the group which exploded into what looked like golden and red glitter. The golden glitter didn't do anything and just floated around the goblins until the red glitter came into contact with the goblins causing the golden glitter to instantly pierce the bodies of all the goblins. All that was left were goblins with millions of holes in them until they disappeared.

'They became much sharper, faster and a lot more were created as well.' Alvar thought while he wrote them down inside his diary.

'3 more to test out.' Alvar thought and continued his way down the floors.

Alvar made his way down to the 6th floor. He wanted to see what the Frog Shooters and War Shadows looked like. He was greatly disappointed.

Frog Shooters are just bigger frogs with one eye, while War Shadows are just dark humanoid monsters with sharp claws.

'I thought the Frog Shooters would use ranged weapons instead of just their tongues while the WAR Shadows would be offensive instead of being assassins.' Alvar thought disappointed.

'It seems that the dungeon guardian is the only interesting one so far.' Alvar sighed and took out the next Magic Crystal.

So far Alvar tested a single projectile spell, a multi-target spell so next up was a healing one.

'The leftover mana boosts the spell, which makes me wonder how much damage it can heal.' Alvar pondered while he blasted a Frog Shooter with multiple weaker magic missiles and also a fireball.

The Frog Shooter was left nearly dead and unable to move. Alvar threw the Magic Crystal at the Frog Shooter. The Crystal shattered which caused a green glow to envelope the frog healing nearly all of its wounds.

Alvar couldn't help but grin at this.

'I should get my hands on the magic stones from deeper floors.' Alvar thought with excitement and finished off the Frog Shooter with ease.

Alvar took out the 4th Magic Crystal and walked to the 7th floor.

'They look adorable...' Alvar thought when he started at the pack of 10 Needle Rabbits in front of him.

One of the rabbits quickly charged at Alvar and jumped it wanting to impale him in the chest. Alvar just stepped to the side, grabbed the rabbit's horn and ripped it out of the rabbit's skull.

"Sadly I'm used to cute things trying to kill me..." Alvar said while he threw the Crystal in the middle of the group.

The Needle Rabbits tried to jump out of the way. But when the Crystal shattered a bunch of vines grew out of it and wrapped around all of the rabbits close to the crystal.

Alvar killed the three that weren't caught and studied the vines.

'The target range of the spell increased and the vines are also a bit stronger.' Alvar thought and wrote it down.

'I'll keep the last one for the 17th floor.' Alvar killed off the trapped rabbits and walked to the next floor.

Capítulo 16: Materials

Walking along the slightly moss-covered dungeon walls. Alvar is continuing his slaughter on the 8th floor.

Alvar is planning to gather more magic stones to do more tests with mana circuits to see what the limits might be.

'This floor is quite boring...' Alvar thought and continued his walk.

'All that changes on this floor is the size of the rooms and the grass covering the ground.' Alvar shook his head in disappointment.

The 8th and 9th floor spawns stronger versions of the monsters on the higher floors. This doesn't bother Alvar as he easily continues through both floors.

Alvar walked down to the 10th floor and was greeted by a floor covered in mist.

'I can sense a few Needle Rabbits and Orc-like monsters near me.' Alvar started walking towards the Orcs.

The three Orcs noticed Alvar approaching them and started to charge at him. The Orc in the front tried to crush Alvar with its fists, but Alvar jumped out of the way and took out his two scythes from his storage. The other two Orcs tried to grab Alvar from the air but he used his scythes and cut off their arms instead.

The two Orcs started screaming in pain alerting the monsters in the area. When Alvar landed, he threw his scythes like a boomerang and used his telekinesis to slice off the three Orc's heads.

Alvar brought back his scythes and gathered mana into their blades. He started feeling a sound coming from the bat-like monsters that increased his concentration.

'It's strange being helped by creatures trying to kill you.' Alvar let out a chuckle and slashed his scythes in an arc, killing all the monsters that were on the floor.

Alvar compressed the air into multiple balls and fired them off to finish all the flying monsters and started collecting all the magic stones that were scattered around the area.

Alvar made his way down to the 13th floor and killed any monsters on his way there. He walked inside the 'Cave Labyrinth', This was the name given to the 13th to 17th floor because the walls, ground and ceiling are made of bedrock with a more complex layout which includes intertwining upper and lower tunnels.

'The Hard Armored's shell would make decent armour and the same goes for those Infant Dragon.' Alvar thought while walking through the maze. He realized that some monsters would make for good materials, but the problem is the monsters would dissipate as soon as they die.

So Alvar skinned them alive to get the necessary materials he wanted to use. Every time the monster would be close to death, Alvar would heal them and continue skinning them.

'I wonder what type of mana circuits I should carve on the armour?' Alvar shook his head.

'I shouldn't focus on that for now.' Alvar sighed and continued through the dungeon.

Suddenly, Alvar dodged to the right when he felt five fireballs being fired at him and fired multiple water bolts at the Hellhounds behind him. They all jumped out of the way but the water bolts bounced off the walls and hit them from behind causing them to lose balance.

Alvar then paralyzed them and took out his knife.

'Their hide should be able to make fire-resistant armour.' The Hellhounds started shivering from fright just by seeing Alvar's grin.

Alvar's journey to the 15th floor wasn't very interesting apart from a few Dungeon Worms trying to eat him and getting torched from the inside out instead.

But something on this floor instantly caught his attention, a mantis that was made out of crystal. This was a Crystal Mantis. A difficult monster to deal with for adventurers because its body has a slight magic resistance.

'I can use that...' Alvar's eyes started shining with curiosity and wonder. He was struggling to keep his race's innate curiosity in check.

Alvar took out a platinum pickaxe and rushed at the mantis and shattered its legs and threw them in his storage. He started slowly and carefully breaking apart its body and storing it so that none of it disappears.

'Hope there's more of these types of monsters.' Alvar couldn't help but smile at the thought but was interrupted by heavy footsteps coming from behind him.

Alvar turned around and was greeted by a Minotaur staring him down. The Minotaur let out a howl and charged at him.

Alvar redied his pickaxe and brought it down and pierced the Minotaur's skull, instantly killing it.

'Rude.' Alvar thought and started searching for the entrance to the next floor... and Crystal Mantises... one isn't enough for gear.

After a couple of hours of hunting Crystal Mantises and Hellhounds. Alvar made his way to the 17th floor and noticed that the silver orb's 'pull' has gotten a lot stronger and it is glowing a lot brighter than before.

'It seems she's almost at floor 18.' Alvar took in a deep breath to calm his anxiety and walked inside the room where the first Monster Rex (Boss) spawns.

Its name is Goliath, a large grey skinned humanoid monster. This monster is stated to be a level four and spawns from the Big Wall of Grief, a massive wall inside the dungeon room.

Sensing that someone walked inside its room. The Goliath glared at the intruder and let out a roar. It started running towards Alvar causing small vibrations to go through the ground.

'Weaker than I expected... but it will do.' Alvar took out the last Magic Crystal and crushed it letting the spell go free.

A golden colour started seeping out of crystal shards and formed a small golden dome around Alvar.

The Goliath tried to punch the golden dome causing a small crack to appear on the dome.

'It should be able to hold at least four to five punches from the Goliath until it cracks... but that should do for now. I should go to the next floor.' Alvar broke the dome and created a spear made out of fire and threw it at the Goliath's head and pierced it.
