Chapter 395
The seventh floor was more of the same. “None of this feels very tempting.”
The closest I had seen to the dungeon living up to the hype was a treasure that sat in front of a trap. I sent Celeste, who flew over the trap, grabbed the stuff with ease, and then flew back. I could only shake my head at how easy this all was.
“Are you still going on about that?” Raissa sighed.
The next floor had a trout with legs. It identified as a legged trout. I didn’t know why this dungeon had such a fishy theme. I could live with that, but it was also a little disturbing watching fish with legs run around. I felt like killing them was setting nature back on the right course. At least with the flying Salmon I could pretend it was swimming through the miasma. Those legs were also unnervingly muscular. They also dropped meat sashimi slices.
“Oh, they’re worth a good amount of money.”
“You can keep them,” I said.
“R-really?”
“Yeah, go nuts.”
She happily collected it. The other girls were looking at me like they wanted to try the sashimi too. Ah, fine, we’ll keep just a little bit. If I didn’t eat things that looked weird on the outside, then there was very little I’d be able to eat.
During leveling, I had White Mage, Slave Master, and Cook equipped. I also swapped to True Dungeon Diver when I had something to check. I tried to keep Slave Master up all the time so the girls got leveling bonuses too. For me, my Cook reached 13 and Slave Master went up to 21. Since each kill for me ended up equaling 10, it was clear to see how long leveling took a normal person. It might take years to reach level 50 for a normal person.
Cook unlocked the skill “Fire Control”, which I had already gained from Basic Magician. As for Slave Master, I got a skill called Slave Communication. It allowed me to send messages to my slaves. I had been waiting for this one for a while. I had read about it from one of the books I had gotten about job classes. It worked within the same city, but couldn’t be used across a dungeon or extremely far distances.
I decided to switch from Cook to Dark Priest for a bit. It was a job I had avoided for a while, but I decided there was no reason not to check it out now. Plus, I was curious about what kind of skills and boosts it carried.
{You have unlocked the skill, Darkness Control.]
It looked like I ended up gaining some of the darkness magic that Shao could use. That was very exciting. The girls were all leveling nicely too, although slower than I was. After all, they only gained 4X experience with each level compared to my 10X. However, we weren’t fighting very many enemies, so there wasn’t a lot of experience anyway. They were tough and their drops were valuable, but if it was experience you wanted, that was the one temptation this dungeon didn’t seem to possess.
We worked our way down to the eighth floor.
