Chapter 916 Assembling The Largest Party Ever
?916 Assembling The Largest Party Ever
-----
Once we were all together and assembled as a big team, I decided to leave the workshop extra protected by leaving a two-layered Divine Ward Barrier, fueled by Spirit, Mana, Ki, and Celestial Energies. It was also directly connected to my Spiritual Aura and Senses, so if anybody dared to hit it, I would immediately share my senses into it and see who it was. I also left an Yggdryad Avatar in the workshop guarding it, with half of my Familiars just to make sure security was tight.
Anyways, our team was definitely gigantic. It was Mark, Rita, Lily, Jenny, Acorn, Nieve, Brisingra, Johanna, Ambil, Angelina, Anikitty, Gandalf, Erdrich, Elena, Anna, Monica, Elisa, and Greenie. And well, me, of course. That made us a group of 19! Almost 20 people. And that's not even including everyone's Familiars and my own Familiars and Dragon Spirits I am bringing along.
But well, if this is such an ancient and powerful Dungeon, it's better to get there while being prepared. While we walked downstairs, Ambil sighed as he equipped his best items for the job. He was carrying his same forging hammer, which he had incrusted a special Jewel which allowed it to grow in size and deal more damage based on its own weight. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
"This is a special Jewel, one of my creations. They're called Runic Jewels. When you incrust one of these into a weapon, accessory, or equipment, it can give them some crazy special effects! This and a few others are my prototypes so far. I made them use all my knowledge of runic engravement and alchemy. But they're still far from perfect. Changing size and increasing weight is the most I can do right now." He answered, explaining his amazing creation.
"Wow, that's amazing though." My daughter said. "Can you make me one that increases Critical Hit Chance and Critical Damage?"
"I am not making any commissions yet!" Ambil grumpily said. "I said I am still working on it! I just... Am not that good at Alchemy myself, so it takes its time."
"We could help if you want." Acorn said. "I can openly say I am fairly alright at Alchemy!"
"You're finally book. Looks like you came with a lot of friends this time... I guess its fine, there are no restrictions in regards of participants." He said.
"Participants?" I wondered.
"You see, this Fragment of Cloudia is a very ancient piece of this continent, it contains hidden magic that has melded with the System. You will see things, many things. Called Scenarios. I believe there's only one there, but it might be quite exhausting. Those that enter such Scenarios and attempt to complete them are called participants." He explained.
"Anyways, I won't go into more details because that would ruin the fun, right? The Scenario within this Fragment of Cloudia will tell you everything it contains, but you may also face certain challenges. Are you ready to enter? You should first prepare and make sure you'll stay inside a couple of hours."
"Hmm, well, let us prepare a bit more then." I said, everyone started taking out some items they had acquired and decided to use them now so they could get a last boost of power.
Me included, I quickly checked my recent rewards, the items I got from completing Hephaestus Trial. Aside from the key to the Ancient Valley, there were some consumable items I wanted to use right away if possible. And also, maybe learn and combine some other Skills. So I can get one last boost of power.
After all, I decided to not just recklessly enter the moment I saw the message that appeared in front of us once we faced the gate with the key in my hands. It left us slightly perplexed...
[Divine Dungeon: Ancient Valley (Cloudia Fragment 1/5)] [Danger Level: 300+]
[Warning: Your Level is too low. You may receive further penalties for entering.]
It was a Level 300+ Dungeon. None of us right now was Level 300, the closest was my daughter, but even then, she was only a single person.
We need to get as much power as possible if we want to get through this.
