Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Relying on the limited randomness, one can evenly distribute their extra achievements, and any development ability is possible. At worst, one can at least obtain an abnormal resistance, which is better than nothing.

So, Charles closed his eyes and silently recited—

"Pandora, upgrade!!"

The favors behind the scenes are burning hot, and the vortex of chaos is coming again.

The interface that resembled a gacha pool reappeared in Ciel's mind, and a golden light burst forth from the chaos and entered Ciel's body.

"Holy crap! I got a gold medal! I'm so lucky!"

A brand new panel appeared on Charles's back. He drew a circle in the air, and his spirit wove the character "印" (seal), which appeared on the parchment.

"Oh..."

Charles sat up abruptly from his deathbed, his eyes gleaming.

Let me see what's going on. What is this?

Wow! Hanging?!

Dark Priest

Dark Magic

Chapter 152 Bear Spirit (×) Space Backpack (√)

【Dark Priest】is a spell from the League of Legends character, Veigar.

The form is launching a dark magic orb with a certain degree of penetration; the special effect is that killing monsters will accumulate magic power.

This is the first SSR ability that Ciel obtained.

"No wonder it refreshed the magic by making me sacrifice the opportunity to continue stacking attributes."

Charles was secretly excited. His ability value still had room for development. He was currently maintaining his maximum strength value and had maximized his agility.

Compared to [Gambler's Instinct], which has a permanent [Durability] experience boost, and [Agility], whose effect is reflected in hit rate, Sharl chose [Agility], which directly affects speed and reaction.

He could certainly choose to continue slowly accumulating his stats, but that would slow down his development too much. With his strength, agility, and magic all reaching S-rank, the experience points that Xia Er could actually gain were only half of what they would normally get, making it somewhat of a loss.

With supplies exhausted and unable to continue relying on teleportation to move between floors, Xia Er chose to prioritize upgrading himself to ensure his safety.

Floors 50 to 30 are theoretically very dangerous and could easily cost Xia Er his life.

And of course, there's Alfia.

[The Price of Talent] prevents her from fighting for extended periods, so it's best to avoid having her participate in battles altogether. Otherwise, the durability you've painstakingly built up will quickly drop again.

on the other hand……

The massive collapse on the 60th floor, which prevented the hatching of Zagnat, worried Charles, and this was part of the reason he was in a hurry to leave the floor.

The only explanation for the damage is that the dungeon floors were destroyed by the monsters themselves, but there's no point in taking chances; you still need to run. Even if a Zagnat hatches, it will eventually turn into bones.

at the moment……

“The plan has changed. Perfect, I’ll spend the next 9 days in the dungeon.” Looking at his new panel, Xia Er made his decision.

……

After 5 days.

37th floor, the White Palace, the arena.

Shila-

Two bolts of lightning flashed past the roaring skeletal monster, one after the other, and Xia Er landed with his five fingers spread wide:

I will devour your soul!

The dark orb was flung out, piercing through the two black-robed skeleton goat magic stones. The instant the magic struck, an invisible magnetic force exploded, blasting countless arcs of electricity and cracks into the ground.

【overload】

• When casting the spell, an electric charge is generated, which is released on the next attack, dealing damage to nearby enemies and slowing them down.

On the other side, Alpha, draped in a fire fairy cloth, also emerged from a bolt of lightning. Her raised pink fist carried a huge electric charge just like that of Ciel.

With a deafening boom, the ground shattered, and the roaring monsters that had surrounded them froze, unable to move forward.

As lightning flashed alternately, monsters were reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​lightning.

Soon, the surrounding rock walls and ground cracked open, and new monsters roared and crawled out, chasing after the two.

Two sets of halos, one red and one blue, rose beneath Charles' feet, and a power rose from the dead monster, filling the bodies of the two.

skill:

【Heating】

• Continuously and significantly restore the mental strength of yourself and your teammates.

[Vampire Aura]

• Friendly units within range gain 20% of the damage dealt as health and mana regeneration.

Two sustain skills + magic amplification + mobility speed – this combination is virtually unbeatable in the "37-floor White Palace," a dungeon specializing in melee combat.

As long as he has mental energy, those monsters, mainly werewolves, earth-born people, skeletal sheep, and barbarian warriors, can't even touch the hem of Xia's clothes.

They were constantly attacked and slowed down by the electrostatic field added by [Overload] until they turned to ashes.

Aside from the first two days spent traveling, this scene has continued for three whole days.

Except for the time he spent sleeping to recover his energy, Sharl was always hiding in this endless "arena" where monsters were being slain, reaping the lives of monsters.

Looking once again at the now empty arena, Charles patted Alpha beside him:

"Let's stop here for now and come back when my mental strength has recovered."

Alpha nodded obediently and happily picked up the scattered monster drops.

After collecting his spoils, Charles found the familiar ground, blasted through the rocks, and entered the secret realm beneath the arena.

Azure caves, with babbling streams.

This is a little-known safe zone in the maze. No one would expect that beneath the "arena" where monsters spawn endlessly, there is a secret realm where monsters do not respawn.

The two followed the river forward and soon saw a campfire.

The witch leaned against the belly of a grizzly bear, flipping through Ciel's "Monster Diary" while clumsily preparing ingredients.

"Cial, I'm hungry." Alfia raised her eyebrows when she saw Ciel return, shamelessly revealing her desire.

"Thank you for your help." Charles approached Alfia and took over her work.

"Pochi, have you been behaving yourself?" Alpha hopped over to the big bear and angrily rubbed its head.

The silly bear named Bochi sneezed, then lay quietly with his eyelids closed.

This grizzly bear, named Pochi by Sharl, is a creature created by Sharl's magic [Summon Bear Spirit].

This is a core skill derived from the Druid class in Dota.

Unlike previous clones and doppelgangers, the summoned bear spirit has no duration! As long as it doesn't die, it will continue to exist.

Although it's only level 1, it can gain experience points and improve its potential by fighting, killing monsters, and consuming magic stones.

Furthermore, Pochi is tough and thick-skinned, and its attacks can inflict the "Entangle" effect. Its fur also provides some immunity to magic.

The key is……

This guy has 6 equipment slots!

Not only does it possess the invaluable ability to carry a spatial backpack, but it can also inherit the attributes of equipment, gaining immense destructive power.

The more Charles looked at the clumsy bear, the more he liked it. He waved to Pochi, who clumsily pulled out one of the half-human sheep's hind legs from under its belly, then two, then three.

Things that are generally classified as "corpses" belong to the same category in this clumsy bear's world and will be stacked in one compartment.

Xia Er then gave the magic stones he had collected, as well as the materials that had dropped, to Pochi.

It simply stuck out its tongue, rolled up the magic stone, and swallowed it. Then, it obediently shoveled the materials into its belly and pressed them under its furry hide.

It can control, withstand, and fight; it's also the best means of transportation and a mover; and when necessary, it can be Alfia's sofa and bed—it's simply too versatile.

……

The three people and one bear made do with the plants and roots they had gathered up before level 40, as well as the lamb legs they had hunted on level 49, to stave off hunger. After several days, their food supplies were almost gone.

"Looks like we'll have to find some food along the way." Charles carefully gnawed on the last two lamb legs.

"On the 37th floor, only slimes are edible, right?" Alfia said calmly.
