Chapter 80 - 80
"Well, now that you've bought a young service industry worker a new house, should we get going?" Lickity asks, looking around at all the stunned faces that watched their transaction while waiting for a counter.
"Yes, let's head out. We've spent enough time in Karmazin for the day." Cain agrees, leading them all towards the Demon Dungeon.
They manage to escape attention a few blocks from the Hall, and they don't see anyone who recognizes them until they've safely entered the dungeon. A small blessing for their escape plan. If nobody knows how they left, anyone who wants to find them will have to search the woods to see what way they went.
The demons around the Karmazin entrance are a bit low leveled for the group, but Cain is getting anxious to reach level 70, so they decide to clear out everything they find, even if it takes all day to get back to Sunnybrook.
Their luck isn't bad, Cain finds 8 new Demon variants on the way, and he's only a few percent away when they reach the Sunnybrook Exit.
"If we kill a few more packs I'll be level 60." Kone says hopefully.
"Might as well, I just got 63." Cixelcid shrugs.
"No more hunting Succubus though. It's just wrong feeling, killing my own kind, even if they've all gone crazy." Lickity shudders.
"I'm glad we are all in agreement. We'll go until I get 70 and Kone gets 60 and then we'll head back to the gate."
"I think we can skip this birthday party though. A party a riot and then another party is just too busy of a week for me." Kone laughs, drawing the attention of some nearby gargoyles.
Cain drops an Acid Rain on them, frowning at his mana pool. It's a hundred mana a cast, but lasts a minute and follows him around. With the benefit of the added damage from his Golems it's a really good spell for moving through a dungeon quickly, but he needs to change a few items to recover a bit more mana without Char and her mana totem, unless he swaps his Dark Elf Cleric Companions out for Shamans.
"That's level 60!" Kone cheers a few packs later, making Cain look at his progress bar. 99.998% completed. One more kill should do it.
There's an Elite Lamia Witch Doctor ahead, a variant he hasn't seen before. Perfect to celebrate his level.
[Summon Supporter Form Added: Lamia Witch Doctor]
She's a Supporter? Does that mean that Lamia is a possible Transfer option with the random chance? He knows Witch Doctor is a class option, he saw one in Sunnybrook, from the Spirit Folk race, it's an advanced form of the Shaman class, and one of the likely options for Char to see when she reaches level 100, since she focused on support skills.
[Level Up]
The notification comes as the first Demon in the pack falls, and they quickly finish up the rest, the Poison Puddle created by the Witch Doctor doing significant area damage to the group, even with multiple copies of Kone's Spirit Circle up.
[Summon Greater Golem] has reached maximum level. Summons 4 Greater Golems of the chosen type. Increased damage done versus Rank 4.
[Summon Supporter] has reached level 2. Two supporters available. Next rank increases Supporter abilities.
[Please Choose Second Supporter Type]
'Well that's easy, I'll just use the Witch Doctor, she goes well with all the other Lamia.' Cain thinks.
"You've got a snake girl fetish don't you?" Lickity asks, seeing the two new Supporters appear.
"There's an awful lot of them." Cixelcid agrees, petting the head of a Scourge Caster that has wrapped around his leg looking for attention.
"It's not like that. They're Witch Doctors, that advanced Shaman class. But Lamia is the only species I've scanned them in, I wasn't close enough to add the Spirit Folk one I saw last week." Cain protests.
"Whatever you say my friend. They're pretty adorable though." Cixelcid laughs.
They've just set foot in the city when the attack alarms begin to blare, calling for all avaliable Adventurers to assist with a huge Ogre attack from all four sides of the city.
"Welcome to Sunnybrook. Home to Elves, organized streets, and Ogre attacks. We should go take care of that, I'll message the others." Cain laughs, realizing his efforts to get to level 70 in the dungeon were unnecessary, he'd get a half level or more from today's attack.
"Cid and Lickity? What are you two doing here? And guildless?" Misha exclaims when they all meet up to go fight the Ogres. The City guard in charge of assignments says they're the only guild tasked to the south gate, but they should be fine, it's lower density than the other sides, and they're infamously strong.
"Our Guild recruited too many warriors instead of crafters and they staged a hostile takeover. Karmazin City is in shambles right now, half of what wasn't damaged in the fighting was set on fire." Lickity explains, with just a hint of exaggeration.
"We're here to join you lot. You know, farm dungeons, craft shiny things, live the easy life." Cain laughs.
"You've got a point. After everything was sorted, the poorest of us, who bought himself a lot of books, still made over five hundred Gold from today's deposit into the Guild bank. If we didn't want to rush we could live in luxury right here without doing anything else." Misha points out and must of the others nod.
She's got a point, they've been rushing through the levels so fast under Cain's experience buff that they haven't even had time to relax and enjoy the scenery. Maybe they don't all want to get to level 100 right away and change classes, leaving this valley behind. Change is overrated.
"Since you're about to be members of the Darklight Host, it's only right you get to join us in action." Char laughs, and a soft voice comes from behind them all.
"Are you still recruiting?"
"If you're a good fit personality wise, we certainly are." Cain smiles. "How about you introduce yourself to the Guild? We're all here right now."
"Hi, I'm Candia, a level 54 Vampire Corsair. I use swords and water magic with a limited range as a close quarters damage type fighter. As a vampire I self heal a little bit, so I'm easy to bring along, plus I'm an enchanter, who can make magical jewelry. Well, sort of. I don't really have any good recipes."
"Welcome Candia!" Elmira cheers and they all take turns introducing themselves. The Vala twins just introduce themselves as Level 70 Wrath Demons, but Candia doesn't question the lack of information.
"Now, let's get to work.." Cain sighs, making the rest giggle.
