Chapter 850 Chapter 849: Upgrades People, Upgrades (1)
?I plopped down inside the camp and let out a sigh of relief, rolling out my bruised shoulder and healing the surface level damage I had sadly taken thanks to a minor mistake in a fight against a Goblin... which ahed slightly, but nothing that I couldn't handle as I rested my back against the sturdy wooden wall.
"Damn... I didn't think that Goblin would slip past me like that, Kat. My apologies..."
Leraie sat beside me, the Demoness just as exhausted as I was thanks to the outing we had just taken of our own accord; something the two Demoness' in charge of our group decided would do us some good.
Each day, we would have the ability to head out in a group of any size that we wanted to do as we pleased, so long as we got it cleared by Satanya and Jahi first - that usually meant them giving us suggestions on where to head and us making the choice before heading out to do as we pleased.
Leraie and I had wanted something simple to get our bodies moving again to start the day, and sadly we underestimated the tenacity of some Goblins, with one of them rushing straight past Leraie and slamming its club into my back when I was taking care of the Crone further away from us.
Though, after I got hit, I turned and stabbed it in the face before blowing the rest of its head off for good measure, but I still got hit...
Ahem...
Anyways, I was also eyeing up the various Magic Pens that were inside the Shop, looking over how they were made and trying to piece it together to make my own... and make it believable that I could make something like them.
I wasn't above claiming someone else's 'work' as my own, because I earned those Shop Points and bought them fair and square, therefore I did earn those Magic Pens and could definitely make it myself!
Most certainly I could make these incredibly powerful Magic Pens, promise...
Having my level go up and my stats increase was as revitalizing and refreshing as ever, and earning more 'money' for myself to spend later was also great, so I let out a deep breath and rested my head against the wall, letting my body heal up as Leraie and I rested up for our next excursion, which would be a larger one orchestrated by Jahi once more.
There was another portion of that grotto from earlier with the bovines that we were interested in, one that had not ores or herbs, but instead a slightly rare monster that would be quite nice to turn into some armor.
Leone and Ammit identified it as a Wurm of some kind, a distantly related monster to Wyverns and Drakes, meaning it had slight Draconic blood in its veins and was therefor something we needed to hunt down and turn into a fresh set of armor.
Something about the leather being light yet super resilient, really mana conductive, and perfect for armor, whilst the bones were great for weaponry, and the various organs and some other parts were great for potions too.
It was just something they wanted us to kill so that we could get some more upgrades going, which was the entire goal of these first few days inside the Dungeon now; we wanted to get geared up so that we could head deep into the Dungeon to find the real goodies~!
