Chương 24: Grinding The EXP Dungeon For Fast Level Ups!

The first day of getting my System and I am already a Sorcerer, not bad at all!

And there are two more runs of the daily EXP Dungeon left! I am going to speed run this whole apocalypse.

Maybe I could even get to my third Job change on the first day? I need as much of an advantage as a freaking can!

I don't want to lose to an edgy teen with some Vampire System or a Great Demon System, so I better prepare if I don't want to get my blood sucked or my soul was eaten.

Also, there are two more runs for the Skill Points Dungeon.

After gathering enough there, I might be able to collect more Skills from the Hero Jewels I have.

For now, I have enough Mana for another Hero.

I see that they begin to drain more Mana as they level up, but as of now, Kireina is draining 54 per minute and Ervas 44, while now I recover 210 Mana per minute, I can easily fit another Summon.

And I will pick the strongest of the pile, of course, Evan, the Hero of Shining Skies.

Evan, as I said earlier, is a recurrent side character of the Epic of Caterpillar novel, he is Kireina's son-in-law, as he had a romantic relationship with one of her daughters.

Hahh… Having another Hero is nice, but he's also packed with cool Skills.

I have the impulse of just using him before summoning him and getting the amazing Skills he got.

Evan is a Light Attribute Hero chosen by Apollo in my novel, so he was naturally talented at Light Magic and Swords, although Kireina also made him train all types of weapons so he could be more versatile.

He has an A-Grade Skill named [Hero of Shining Skies] which gives him a ton of bonuses, but it costs… Uagh.

It costs 5000 Skill Points to learn for me!

What?!

Can I get that many even after running through the Dungeon of Skill Points three more times?

Perhaps… Or I could simply wait.

Hm, Evan, perhaps you may never see the light of the sun…

Or should I summon you anyways? I mean, three super-strong summons protecting me from all sides sounds pretty good too.

It all comes down to preference, but as a summoner, it is also a necessity to have more and more Summons at my side, I mean, that's my strength.

But then again…

Evan has other Skills that could be nice, such as Swordsmanship (Meh) and Apollo's Blessing.

Well, Skill Inheritance can only work with up to 3 Skills, but I can take any Skills, even those the Summon doesn't come unlocked with.

I guess I might take them… After all, they are like Skill Books to a point.

Maybe I can summon a copy if I ever get a repeated one.

Well, I don't need to be rash…

"Master, are you done? Come eat the sandwich I made for you~! There's also some tea to relax the mind," said Kireina gently, her tender voice resonated through my ears, and I decided to sit next to her and enjoy what she prepared kindly for me.

As we ate and drank tea, I spoke about my Jobs and the thing about using Skills or summoning the Summon.

"Oh, so you have become a Sorcerer, Master? I am glad you can grow outside of summoning other beings! There's no more reliable strength than the one you cultivate on your own after all! Ah! But you can rely on me always too!" said Kireina with a gentle chuckle.

She's sure reliable, so I will rely on her, and Ervas, or all my Summons, they're all loyal from the beginning, and created exclusively for me too.

"I believe that it would be better to pick any Skill that interests you, and then consider summoning a hero. Always prioritize your own strength," said Ervas.

"I see. I was kind of thinking the same, I will do that then… But it is not like I have any Skill Points for that yet… Well, let's go complete the EXP Dungeon two more times and then the Skill Points Dungeon," I said.

"Alright then~!" said Kireina, as she quickly drank the tea.

After eating the sandwiches Kireina prepared, we quickly made our way to the next two runs of the EXP Dungeon.

The Time Limit is around an hour, so we had to speed run it (as always).

The first run went smooth until the boss, and so did the second one. I practiced my hits with the bees, which I crushed with my Cursed Baseball Bat several times until they stopped moving.

Kireina and Ervas weakened them for me for the most part in the first run, but in the second I tried to take some on my own and without help, it took some time, but with the help of Mana Blast, which let me generate a small sphere of pure Null-Attribute Mana, the Bees usually fell with a combo of two hits of my bat and a Mana Blast.

We reached the Boss in no time as Kireina decided to charge directly into it, followed by Ervas who showered it with Telekinesis Bullets, now that I got more mana regeneration and mana pool, they were able to spam magic attacks more easily, and so I did.

It was kind of hard to concentrate on the mana blasts at first, but after a bit of practice, I managed to even aim from long distances quite accurately, as if it were my innate talent. I suppose I am really a sorcerer.

After the second run came the third one, and we went just as swift, this time I finished off the Queen Bee myself with a shower of Mana Blasts and my Bat blows, it was hard to take it on my own, but I somehow pulled it off. I had wanted to do this to prove my own strength, and Kireina and Ervas had accepted, although Ervas occasionally healed me.

After the two runs, my levels increased quite a bit.

Ding!

[You gained a lot of EXP!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 11!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 12!]

[Your Level has increased to Level 13!]

Three levels, not bad. It is really the EXP Dungeon if I can level up so fast by visiting it. It is a bummer that I can only do it thrice a day though.
