章 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.
