Chapter 83: Battle on the 10th Floor
We faced the shadow wolves, but something was off. They looked different—stronger and more menacing than before.
I quickly checked their status:
Dungeon Shadow Wolf (Lvl. 30)
"Be on your guard!" I warned my team. These wolves were far stronger and faster than the ones we’d fought in the past.
At the front lines, Julius, Marius, Vivin, and I worked together to break through the pack of monsters. Marius and Vivin used [War Cry], boosting our overall damage and drawing the wolves’ attention to themselves.
Meanwhile, Julius, Mark, and I struck them down one by one. Nyssa held the middle line, attacking from mid-range and intercepting any monsters that managed to slip past.
At the rear, Mia tirelessly cast support spells. "[Support Magic: Defense UP]!" and "[Support Magic: Booster]!" echoed behind us, bolstering our defenses and strength. I was impressed—Mia’s magic had grown significantly, though she still wasn’t on Lyra’s level yet.
But there was more to Mia than just support magic. She alternated between bolstering us and launching lightning-based attacks like [Thunder Magic: Lightning Javelin], striking down enemies with precision.
This party is so balanced, I thought. We handled the shadow wolves and other dungeon monsters, such as imps, goblins, and trolls, with remarkable efficiency.
We pushed further, clearing floor after floor. By the time we reached the fifth floor, the monsters were swarming in greater numbers. It was time to test something new.
I activated [Aura Force], a technique the Patriarch had taught us. Instantly, my STR increased by +25, but my INT dropped by -25.
