The dungeon crawl started, but unlike usual, only two people were advancing towards the front, the other three only watching from behind, observing Archie's impressive moves.
While Luca kept the monsters' aggro aimed at him, Archie unsheathed his Spiritual Sword. He wasn't using skills randomly or carelessly but was demonstrating the art of swordplay.
Lucius was slightly intrigued to see Archie's strong stance, “Hoo? It's no wonder because Archie is Mr Edward's son; at least he passed his sword skills.”
“Eh? Is this level of ability reasonable, Lucius?” asked Gimmond.
“Archie's skills have been impressive, Gimmond,” replied Layla, without shifting her eyes at Archie, “Lucius already knew what kind of capabilities Mr Zachary was.
Since receiving the exploration notes from the guild adventurers and church members, Archie had read every word written. Even up to this point, he kept repeating his reading, ensuring everything was.This is his second dungeon—different from the previous Cursed Cave—Labyrinth of the Artic Burrows has a different terrain. Both are similar caves-like domains, but this time is in the form of a burrow that protrudes underground, almost like a mining site.After entering the dungeon’s gate, Archie's party was greeted by the incredible sight of a large hole ahead of them. They needed to descend slippery and steep roads to continue their journey, and just by now, they had finished up the first phase.They could still investigate the dungeons if they wanted, but according to the pocketbook, in the first ro
"Was this part of your plans, Archie?" Lucius entered into aware mode and started realising their leader’s plans earlier."Perhaps… I'm not sure either, but yeah," Archie replied, slightly doubting what he had just said. "I just wanted to try and see what would happen since you all said you saw the same thing, so—"It’s possible the monsters inside would chase them after damaging the nest—or maybe some kind of secret boss would appear—and even if it was true—no one would think there were a total of four mini-bosses breaking through the passage right now.Standing with two legs and clenched hands like humans—even though their upper bodies are clearly as furry wolves, these four mini-bosses have their own agile and unique movements. An experience will be gained when someone makes an effort, and knowledge will develop as the information flows—which can be obtained from various things—including dungeon conquest.Aiming for the magician was a fatal knowledge that must come first when facing a challenging foe. Usually, the magicians will be placed at the back of the line, not without a clear reason, but in order to protect them from enemy attacks while carrying out the required magic or support skills.Archie's party formed the same, namely putting Layla behind and trying to hold Luca, Gimmond, and Archie on the front lines. Meanwhile, Lucius helps repay DMG and debuffs from a distance—a higher position than them.With Lucius' [Grapple Arrow], he could freely move to the other side. The circular shape of the room has cracks and prIsekai Grimoire System Ch. VIII: Four Mini-bosses (II)
“Uuhh…it's the same as when we performed the [Trigram] ritual on him. The blazing natural mana gathered from the empty air.” Gimmond managed to hold Luca's immobilized body so the wind currents wouldn't push it, and behind the two men was Layla, who also received protection."Almost the same, but it looks like Archie can control it better now."From behind, Lucius's foothold was safer than the rest of his party. Even so, he still had to maintain his balance not to slip and fall because his task was still not finished.From the Vision’s perspective, the status of all the monsters gathered before them. Mixing blue, purple, and reddish aura into one because so many monsters appear.Facing a crucial momentous moment, Archie's party mates had to cast
“Eh. This is to much damage. I think our leader is indeed a bit exaggerated.”"Sorry. I got carried away,” Archie muttered over the words of his party mates.The room's atmosphere, which was previously beautifully pleasing to the eye, turned into a room with a pool of water and a large hole that exposed a layer of soil behind the thick ice walls.The word of complaint came from Gimmond's mouth, still collecting all the drop items lying around after the scene was over.As a reward for defeating all four mini-bosses simultaneously, besides the regular item drops scattered around, there are two treasure chests, each with the same colour and pattern as the werewolf mini-bosses.“Archie, look at this. We go
The conquest this time may be beyond Archie's expectations and estimates because it takes longer and is more complicated, even though that was also the result of his decision to do more exploration."It can't be helped, in this pocketbook, such things aren’t written all of a sudden, right? Besides, after this, Luca can give a detailed report to the guild or church about our conquest,” said Archie.They were lucky enough that Krakal didn't issue a distress call, so they had enough time until late to finish The Labyrinth of the Artic Burrows dungeon. That means there has been no movement from church delegates.“None of us complained. It's just that this guy….” Lucius took a deep breath and looked ahead, “He was the most lively in the dungeon, and now he's the one commenting the mos
"We haven't entered the city before, is what we see reasonable?""I don’t think so."The atmosphere of Winterbreeze could be seen getting busier, what makes it weird is the crowd points are uneven and only piled up in one place, which should be their heading."Do you have an explanation, guard?" Lucius approached the guard who had just closed the gate."Recently, our transmitter devices have been having problems. We can't use the teleport feature to another city, but we still can receive teleportation from other places."“That recently…how long ago, to be precise?” They came around noon without going through the regular transmitter, and the reception signal wasn’t a problem then.<
“What happened to you, Young Master Archie? On three occasions we meet, you look lethargic and weak, and every time that happens, you seem about to force something," continued the person.Archie could indeed feel someone approaching from a distance, but he didn't see that it was someone they knew. “Oh? You?" After lifting his head to look at the person who greeted him, Archie still couldn't name the person. "I'm sorry, I don't know your name. However, I am so grateful for your contributions to us beforehand.”"Ha ha ha. My goodness, Young Master Archie. We couldn't even do anything back then,” that person chuckled as if forcing the regret not to show on the face, “in the end, we only became a burden to Alian Village.”"Archie said that with his feeling, Jenny." Layla stood in plac
