"Oh yeah, I'm quite curious about your conversation earlier about the Loner King. Have you ever met him?" asked Satria as they started to walk down the path of cave number 2.
"Ah, we only heard the rumors. It's infrequent that anyone has ever met such a great adventurer. Some even consider it a myth," replied Raven.
"I see. It's no wonder, especially now that I'm in my true form. My appearance, face, and posture are completely different from my character in the game. Even though there are people who remember the shape of my character, they won't necessarily recognize me," Satria thought.
"Oh yes, Satria, which city are you actually from? It feels like this is the first time I've seen you," Zord asked.
"I live in Lunar City. But I come from a very far away place, where I was born. I was required to work hard if I wanted to continue to survive, "said Satria.
"Lunar City, it's quite fair," said Lea.
"Looks like in this place, we can't play around anymore. What we're dealing with are giant skeletons. So we have to avoid it. Moreover, the 10th-floor boss will quickly wake up," said Raven when he heard the sound of monster steps in the distance.
"Yeah, we plan to get past the 10th floor of the dungeon before the boss monster respawns again. Later, we will go out with the squad currently exploring the dungeon," added Vi.
"How's Sat? Would you like to come with our plan?" asked Zord.
"I don't mind," replied Satria.
When he heard Satria's words, Raven's squad smiled happily. Actually, Satria wants to defeat many monsters in this dungeon to increase his level as quickly as possible. But if he show his full strength in front of them, it might be troublesome later. Since coming to this world, he has only shown his full strength to the evil adventurers, and even then, they were all wiped out.
"It sounds like there are six or more giant skeletons ahead," said Lea.
"Looks like we didn't go the wrong way," said Satria slowly.
"Fighter," said Satria slowly.
Sure enough, soon, they could see eight giant skeletons accompanied by small skeletons. Raven immediately drew her sword and charged forward. Satria immediately jumped to divert attention even though Raven's squad didn't ask. Satria immediately slammed his spear into the cave's surface.
'Breug'
"Hurry up and run!" shouted Satria along with a loud crash as his spear hit the ground. Chunks of earth immediately scattered along with the small skeletons.
"Fireball!" said Zord, immediately throwing his fireball while running along with Raven and the others.
"He is crazy," said Raven as Satria fearlessly stood in the middle of the giant skeleton.
"I want to destroy all of you, but what can I do. Next time, I'll destroy you again," said Satria, who immediately jumped onto the sat skeleton's bones and made it a pedestal to jump after Raven and his squad. Satria jumped high and floated in the air towards Raven.
"What kind of priest is that," said Sil because it was the first time she'd seen a priest who could jump that far.
"Isn't he afraid of breaking his leg when he lands?" added Lea while looking up.
"Maybe because it's a priest, he can heal his wounds instantly," Zord said as he threw fireballs at the small skeletons chasing them.
'Bregh'
Satria stepped right in front of Raven and his squad. The ground where he was standing immediately scattered into the air from the strong beat made by Satria. Raven and Zord were genuinely amazed by Satria's skills, and they didn't expect a priest to have such strength and endurance.
"You'd better be in front," said Satria.
Raven and his squad immediately ran back in front of Satria without saying much. At the same time, Satria walked at the back while watching the movement of the skeletons chasing them from behind. Some animal-like skeletons instantly ran faster than others, but Satria was ready with her spear.
'Beukh'
'Bregh'
'Gdakh'
Satria nimbly smashed the approaching skeletons into pieces. Sparks immediately appeared along with smoke due to the fire element enchant effect added to Satria's spear. At the end of the attack, Satria immediately slammed his spear into the ground so that chunks of earth scattered, blocking the movement of the approaching skeletons.
They kept running until they finally found the stairs leading to the 6th floor. They decided to choose the first path this time, and they ran back down the first path. After successfully passing several giant skeleton monsters, it turned out that the way they chose was a dead end. They couldn't help but go back to the beginning and choose path number five.
After walking far enough, they were again confronted by the many giant skeleton monsters that stood in their way. Just like before, Satria immediately moved to lure them and divert attention while Raven and his squad passed and ran away.
Because of the itch to defeat the monsters, Satria immediately destroyed the two skeleton monsters before finally running after Raven's squad. Satria often also dispelled the approaching agile skeletons until they finally arrived at the stairs leading to the next floor.
Their journey continues like that, down the cave's path if there is a dead-end back again. Facing the giant skeleton, Satria made diversions and so on until they finally arrived at the end of the 9th floor of the dungeon. They almost reached the 10th floor with one more step, but before going down the stairs, they decided to take a break.
"It feels like the skeleton monsters are all ferocious today," said Raven as he took out a drink of water from his bag slot.
"Hah.. hah.. yes, it seems that today there are not many adventurers who enter the dungeon," said Zord while panting.
"I'm still curious, and you guys said you wanted to pass the 10th floor before the boss monster respawned and then returned with other squads that had passed the 10th floor. How did you know there was another squad there?" asked Satria.
"We asked the data officer near the Dungeon entrance. They said several squads came in today to conquer the 30th floor, but they still haven't come back since this morning," replied Raven.
"I see," said Satria, nodding. He thought there might be a player like him among the squad who today intends to conquer the 30th floor.
After a short break, they went straight down the stairs. Satria immediately got ready because, as far as he knew in the game, every floor inhabited by a floor boss was usually guarded by a monster at the same level as the floor where the floor boss was. The monsters guarding the 10th-floor entrance are level 10 monsters, and so on until the 100th floor, the respawn time is the same as the boss of that floor.
"Beware, the floor guards usually respawn faster than the floor bosses," said Raven.
"He's respawned. I can hear it," said Lea. Satria who was still in the fighter class job didn't hear anything.
After the stairs ended, there was a giant skeleton monster wearing armor and carrying a sword standing in front of the mouth of a huge cave. The monster seemed to move immediately when Raven and Satria put their feet on the ground after the stairs. Raven immediately drew her sword while Zord raised his wand.
"Remember, we'll pass him. Its movement is as slow as any other giant skeleton," said Raven.
"I think he's faster," said Satria as he stepped forward while playing with his spear.
"They don't seem to know anything about this 10th floor. This skeleton monster is much faster than the other giant skeletons. Moreover, the armor he wears is armor that has been enchanted to block long-range magic attacks," Satria thought while smiling happily at the monster in front of him.
