Episode 99

[Don't you want to create more technique?..]. (T.A.S)

"Not really..I don't find any need to do so…. I just want this Thousand Cherry Blossom, other than that…nahh, what use to have hundreds of techniques when you barely use them..".

I'm not like any average human that greedy for dozen of stuff, I'm someone who loved having the things that I need and the thing that I can use, the technique that I have chosen, is best suited my style and I rather want to be proficient at it. Sitting inside the tent that was just erected, I revised the squad roster as there are too many injured men in the medic tent, I need to enter the dungeon fast, for that, I decided to enter the dungeon with Corporal Alehandro the dwarf. I exit the tent and walk towards Sergeant Xing who in the middle of the campsite, busy arranging the work.

"Sergeant Xing, you handle the situations here..wait for the reinforcement to come and send back the injured to the New City..after that send the team that I arranged to enter the dungeon..follow the schedule….okay?..".

"Yes, Sir..". (Sergeant Xing)

"Good, Alehandro..let's go..".

"Yes Sir!!..". (Corporal Alehandro)

Alehandro was someone that very experienced in dungeon exploring and as a dwarf he got some natural talent in working with materials and handling traps. I need someone like him with me to harvest the Eye of The Beholder Leather and some monster materials. Since we were entering the dungeon, I've also changed my equipment settings, I used an Assault rifle and Handgun both equipped with silencer this time, we also brought buck load of a flash grenade to blind the Eye.

As we entered the dungeon, Alehandro brought out his Military provided Tablet Pc and opened the map of the first floor and show it to me.

"Sir, we already got the map from the D.E.D…based on their finding, this floor only consists of low-level mob..still they were at least a level 2 threat..". (Corporal Alehandro)

Swiping on his tablet to show me the layout of the floor and the data of monsters living on this floor.

"How about any traps?..".

"There's none until the 5th floor..but passed that, I have no idea….". (Corporal Alehandro)

He stuffed the tablet in his shirt underneath his body armor, then grab his Scar Rifle and fastened the silencer.

"There's nothing much we can do..I guess we have to find out that latter by ourselves….we going to go fast and only rest when we arrived on the 5th floor..can you catch up?…".

"Heh!..Sir, I'm a dwarf!..my kind got more stamina than a Minotaur you know..haha!…". (Corporal Alehandro)

"Heh!..if you say so…then let's go, I will lead..we do for stealth..put your night vision on..no lights..also no magic..".

Just as planned, we traversed the cold and dark dungeon hallway in silence. Certainly, the volume of Monster even in this early floor was massive, even though they were mostly Threat Level 1-3 which not really a match for me and Alehandro who equipped with Firearms, still the number was a lot, in just 1st floor we already emptied 3 magazines of our riffle.

"Sir, I'm done..please store this..". (Corporal Alehandro)

As always Alehandro who's in charge of harvesting the materials finished harvesting the last dead Imp, he then put down the core on the ground where the rest of the materials was piled up and tell me to store them. All the materials we harvested were of course stored in my Dimensional Storage ring (Which I have a lot), By now we already got about a hundred kilos of Level 2 Monster core and about 200++ kilos of Monster materials. This Amount was not normal, because to gain at least this amount one has to dive a 5-floor dungeon for at least 5 times.

Of course, the materials we got were all the high quality because we killed the monster with a very minimal amount of damage, which is a bullet to a head which an instant kill. With a high powered firearm and stealthy approach, I and Alehandro are unstoppable we speed run, sniping every monster pack we encountered and only stopped for harvesting (at the same time resupply and rest for brief replenish). Even though we moved quite fast, still it took us a full 4 hours to reach our target for today which is the 5th floor.

After reaching the end of the 5th floor, as always a large 3 meter high stone door appear before us. The door as always served as a gate for a Boss fight, since the target was already achieved I Started to make a camp to rest, Alehandro at the same time, sets up a Camp Barrier on all four corners of our campsite.

"Quite convenient huh Sir..with only for Steel stake stab on the ground can give us a secured safe haven…Hah~ the adventurer sees this they probably willing to pay a hefty amount just to have this stuff..". (Corporal Alehandro)

Dusting his hand as he finished putting up the Camp Barrier, sitting near the camp stove that already boiling hot water, Alehandro finally able to stretch his legs.

"Yeah..it's quite hard to develop that, Head Researcher Bar and his team stay up for almost a few weeks just to made them..let's take a breath here for a few hours before we move out..".

This Camp Barrier was one of the many inventions of the R&D department, it was a simple enchantment but works splendidly. On each Stake, an enchantment called (Barrier) was drawn using the Blood of Scorptinus and it's Core as a Magic Supply, Scorptinus is a Level 3 monster (An Oversized Scorpion that roaming in the Dessert of Nothing), When all 4 of the staked were placed (Maximum of 12 Meter apart )on the ground forming a symmetrical square and the Magic Core were activated By infusing a small amount of mana with an intention of activating it, a thick layered of the semi-translucent green membrane will be erected from the stake forming a double side pyramid, which protected the whole campsite from every angle. The Layer of protection can withstand 5000 tons of weight, and attack bellow from threat Level 4 cant even scratch the shield and cant withstand an attack from Level 6 monster for 4 hours before breaking. This simple stake undoubtedly will be sought after if it's ever touched the market, still I refused to release this, as this Level 5 Stake was a military-grade, I will only release to the market a level 1-3 stake. I can't have every normal plebian have access to a high powered defensive item.

After everything was settle, we have a brief nap after eating our meals, after 4 hours has passed and the camp already being disassembled, we finally ready to move. Same as the previous set up, Corporal Alehandro was standing near the door with his hand on it ready to push, while I'm in a battle stance with a flash grenade in my hand and riffle aim forward.

"Ready?..".

"As Always Sir..".(Corporal Alehandro)

Nodding at me.

"Then Let's roll..".

On My Command, Alehandro opened the door, before the door even wide opened a Flash Grenade already thrown inside, as the grenade exploded both of us entered.
