As the group rested near the large door leading to the next floor, Viora looked at August. "You had a basic armor? How did you manage to stay standing after that many hits?"
Aria smirked. "He's a stubborn one, that's for sure."
Drask laughed. "He's lucky he leveled up before he keeled over!"
Torin grinned. "You're not so bad for a solo player, Aleman. But maybe next time, invest in better armor before diving into a dungeon like this."
August chuckled. "I'll keep that in mind. Let's just hope the next floor isn't worse than this one."
What they didn't know was that, due to August's dual-class, his HP was also much higher than normal or he'd have been long dead.
The group exchanged weary smiles as they prepared to push forward.
...
The group kept moving cautiously through the corridor.
The tension in the group was high as they arrived at a wide, open chamber with an elevated platform at its center.
