Chapter 117: Floor Eight: A New Challenger Approaches
Not that I had ever really doubted our decision to save Glorp, but if I had the moment he showed up and returned us the favor with a save from the monster that had gotten the drop on me and disabled Corey, I would have doubted no more. Thanks to his help getting to the end our path was no longer in doubt. Sure, it was slow going, at least by what I assume had become his view of traveling, but he made no complaints as we got through it.
The near-ruinous experience we had had cemented in my mind another decision. Once we returned to Earth, I was going to need to get to work on improving my bond with Corey. I had some ideas, and oddly, the changes to my soul-core reaction likely would make it safer to place them within my own socket system, but I was still worried about a potential backlash.
I pulled up the chat window as we walked down an empty hall.
| >Dave: Corey, do you have enough energy back to read this? >Corey: I do, but only barely. I do not think I am able to fight again yet. >Maud: :( >Dave: Once we are finished with this floor, I think we are going to have to move ahead on some of the planned experiments. >Corey: Understood. I believe I can help control your mana channels as well as your flows that way. >Dave: Perfect. >Maud: :)
