Chapter 194: Trial Of Survival/Dronic Dungeon Part One
[Mass Release 2/5]
Kana read the messages, and a small smile formed on her lips. "This is starting to sound like those games I heard kids talk about. Anyway, I guess I should invite Mary to team." Kana opened her system menu and found a few new tabs. She found the invite button and read the instructions next to the button. "To invite a team member, look at the target and press the invite button."
Kana did that, and not even a second later, Mary jumped in fright as a small window appeared in front of her. "What is this!?"
"It's a teaming system. Just hit yes." Kana said casually, too lazy to explain. Kana also tried to invite Aoi, but it seems since she was her elemental summon, it would not work. But soon, in the corner of her peripheral vision, Kana saw Mary's name and two bars of different colors. One red, one blue.
"Mary, say, open inventory." As soon as Kana said that, a small window appeared in front of her as well that showed a graph of squares with a small number at the bottom that said 0/100. But soon Kana heard Mary exclaimed: "Oh wow! A spatial storage! And it has so much space!"
"This is like your storage device?" Kana asked.
"Yep! It is almost exactly the same, except the one I have is only ten slots. But this one you can store so many things inside! This is amazing!" Mary explained with a big smile on her face.
"This inventory only works inside the dungeon. Once we exit, it will give us one hour to empty the inventory before it will eject all the items inside." Kana explained.
"Ah! No way. Well, I guess it will help." Mary was a little disappointed that she could not always use such a large inventory.
"Alright, let's get going. We need to at least clear the first floor and kill the boss if we wish to leave this place. But I plan to continue on until we reach the one hundredth floor."
"Grandpa, she entered a dungeon." Old Sir's grandson announced.
"I know. She has opened another part of the system that is locked until one enters a dungeon. The raiding system is very good, and the rewards are immense. It is also a good opportunity for her. If she is able to clear the final boss, she will be able to get the item she needs to unlock her third element, and then she can finally reach her true second evolution." Old Sir was happy to see Kana moving so quickly. It was just that he and his people knew how hard dungeons were. Just being able to clear the first floor would be a feat and a half. The little girl she had tagging along with her would need to pull her own weight, or she would end up being a burden to Kana. "Let's hope the lass can do it."
"What the hell are these green little guys!?" Mary yelled when she saw three goblins walk out of the shadows with thick sticks in their hands.
"It doesn't matter what they are. We need to clear this area if we wish to even progress any further. But they are also a good test to see how well your weapons will fare. So shoot it." Kana yelled out. It was now that she really wished she had a weapon. But she figured, if anything, she could just make do with what she found in the dungeon. Based on the way the system said, she would be able to find all kinds of items in a dungeon that would be useful. She hoped to find a sword of some kind.
"Okay, here I go!" Mary aimed her weapon at one of the goblins and fired.
"Gree! Gree!" One of the goblins yelled out in pain as its arm was blown off. It fell to the ground rolling around.
"Graagh!!!!!!" The other two goblins ignored their comrade and charged at Kana and Mary. These little green men only came to Kana's waist, so there was no need for her to care about them. One of them swung its thick stick, striking Kana in the leg only to have the stick shatter into millions of pieces causing the goblins whole arm to shake as it fell back onto its butt, looking at Kana with fear. Kana reached down and twisted its little neck before looking at how Mary was faring. She had Aoi stand aside only to help if Mary was in trouble. But what she saw truly surprised her as Mary used the but of her weapon to smack the goblin in the nose making it stumble back before taking a knife from her side and slicing it across the goblin throat.
"Not bad." Kana was truly impressed, but when she thought about it, Mary was a soldier, so she did know how to fight at the very least. The goblin from earlier was finished off with a flick of highly pressurized water that Aoi flicked from her finger that hit the goblin in the head.
[Experience gained: 30]
Kana got a notification as the goblins turned into balls of light, and in their place, a few times could be found. "Errr..." Kana looked at the items. Two of the items were called sturdy sticks, which were the weapons that they were using, and then there was five pieces of copper and a brown rag looking thing.
Kana looked at it, and a message popped up in front of her.
[Goblin Panties]
[An old rag used by goblins to cover their privates. It has never been washed and has been passed down through the generations. It has no other benefits besides making one smell like a goblin.]
[Collect?]
[Yes] [No]
Kana quickly hit the no button and collected the five pieces of copper that fell. To her, all money was money. Nothing would be left behind, even if it was only five copper. But what disappointed her was the experience gained, but when she thought about it. This was the first floor, so these may just be low level monsters. "Here is your share." Kana handed over three copper of the five. She liked money, but She gave credit where credit was due. Mary did the most work this time around, so she got the most money.
