“<<Dragon Union>>”
Amira’s face dominated the screen of Monitor #3 within the Guild’s hall. Her grip on Hannah’s neck was firm as she initiated the <<Dragon Union>>. Amy, her wide, cat-like eyes locked on the screen, found herself utterly captivated by the unfolding scene.
[Amira’s becoming more like the Guild Master. Maybe she’s even surpassed her…] Amira had ascended beyond level 70, her collective progress not only enhancing her status ratings but also catapulting her attack power to impressive heights. Even Tsutomu had been visibly impressed after witnessing the sheer force behind the swing of her greatsword. Where she once struggled, Amira now wielded her <<Dragon Form>> with such ease that it seemed natural, no longer losing consciousness upon its disengagement.
“Salamander, I’m counting on you.”
“Byah!”
Leleia, the ever-steadfast Spiritualist, had sharpened her skill with the contracted Spirits, making her a potent Attacker — deadly in both close-quarters and ranged combat. Her debut on the horrifying side of the eighty-first layer had been stunning. She now experimented with Tsutomu, forging a <<Contract>> between him and the Sylph, using it to coordinate devastating combo attacks, while keeping an eye out for opportunities to assist Hannah and Xeno with new contracts as needed.
The recent research conducted by Ealdred Crow had shed light on elemental weaknesses that might dictate the trends going forward: fire and water magical skills were particularly effective on dark-elemental monsters, while earth skills proved deadly against those of the light element. For Leleia, a Spiritualist who thrived on elemental coverage, this revelation made her an irreplaceable asset in the current set of layers.
Amy’s thoughts drifted to her best friend, Diniel, who was likely still curled up asleep back at the Clan House. Despite Diniel’s current lethargy, Amy knew what she actually was — Diniel had dedicated nearly eighty years to perfecting her archery, honing it into a deadly art. On top of that, she was a veteran Explorer of God’s Dungeon whose experience and wisdom far outstripped herself.
