Chapter 373: Transfer Dungeon (III)

Before I let anyone touch any portal, I inspected every portal one by one. If I don't want to mess up the dungeon run and end up being lost for a long time, I needed to check the characteristic of the portals. Soon, I found one portal with a small glow of red in its blue color. It was slight color and it's not really obvious to see but if you try to look at it for a while, you will eventually notice it. That's what the portal we needed to use as that indicates the portal is connected to the final boss and it is the right portal to use if you want to meet him. Of course, that is the first portal and not just a single portal that will immediately send us straight to the final boss.

Since this dungeon always changes every time you enter it, you needed to always check out the signs it gives to fully clear it and master pathfinding the whole place.

"Everyone, I found it, follow me!"

With my prompt, everyone started following closely to me. With a complicated dungeon like this, following the leader who knows what he or she was doing would benefit everyone else.

FWOOOOMMM!

We are transported one by one on a large hall with winged eyeballs flying around the place.

"Ah! How did you manage to do that Bladeheart? It took us a few tries to even manage to land on this place before!" Dolly readies her staff as she asked me how I did it.

"This dungeon relies on markings that will allow you to determine which area will lead to which. It's pretty much subtle but with someone who can easily spot the differences, that will be very easy."

"I see. Looks like we failed to spot what is the difference of the portals to actually find the right place."

"Alright, since we are on the right track, let's get rid of them. Since I am already high in levels, I won't participate in killing so that I won't monopolize the EXP gain you guys get. I will just help if it is truly necessary."

Everyone nodded and they started disposing of them. My mother and father were a great team and since the enemy was a flying enemy, Mother's task was just to pull the enemy or use a [Bottle of Paralysis] to bring down the enemy and allow Father to pummel the enemies to death. As for the others, they are just good with their own strat like how the siblings always do their job and likewise, on Hagane and Dolly's teamwork. It was a good thing I don't need to do a thing in here that much.

My parents managed to reach level 79 the moment we fully cleared the place. With the monsters in level 99 and in Abyss Difficulty, the amount of experience they earned is much faster than in dungeons around the same level as them. Of course, their level intake will slow down once they reach level 90 but if I estimate it, they can level up to level 99 in around 5 runs in this difficulty.

As for me, I don't need to kill the monsters to earn experience points. It was not worth earning experience other people will benefit more. Since it won't even help my experience bar move in a single bit, it would be wise if I only help them against the boss as that would be an enemy they will have to think twice before attacking. If I want to farm experience, I would rather challenge high leveled bosses and other mobs higher leveled than me as that would guarantee me a lot of gain. You can say I am helping them in powerleveling.

When we are sure that there are no more mobs left to kill, I asked the others to gather what they managed to pick from the monsters as I was planning to buy them since I needed the materials of the winged eyeball monsters to create the Petrification Molotov and Petrification Antidote but everyone declined my money as they don't need it and it was for everyone's benefit so I managed to obtain the materials for free.

Now that all the materials that is available from the monsters that I needed are now sitting in my inventory, I went to the walls and check the surfaces.

"What are you doing, son?" My father was not sure why I am doing it.

"There is a chance we spawned in this dungeon with a hidden room. If we managed to get it, we will be able to obtain some treasure and we should get our luck to see whether we have them or not."

Then, my hands landed on a loose tile. It was very loose compared to the other tiles, allowing me to quickly find it.

"Aha!" grabbing the loose tile, a lever popped out from the removed loose tile.

"A lever?"

"This is the switch to reveal the secret room."

"Are you sure you just cleared this place once?" Dolly started to question how I am so knowledgeable about  the dungeon.

"This is how intricate I am in some dungeons especially during my first run. Just to make sure I won't mess up in my run that time, I end up trying to see whether there are several mechanisms around. It took me at least three days before I managed to fully clear this place and most of the time I spent is by finding the right path."

"That is just insane dedication you gout there, son. But be more mindful on your health. Moderation in gaming too would help you in the long run. You also need to eat real food even though we can feel full just by eating the food in this game," Mother gives me a light reminder."

"Don't worry mom, I know what I am doing. I am not just going to keep playing without any nourishment either."

Then, I push the button and a portal appeared in the middle of the room.

"That portal leads to a secret room where there are treasures inside. Of course, we will have to fight a boss but perhaps there will be an instance where we will not need to beat a boss and spawn right next to the treasure for free access. It is just a speculation so don't take it to heart what I just said."

"That's neat but that is also risky. Are you sure it will be okay?" Hagane started to get cautious.

"What are you even talking about, Brother Hagane? Big Bro here is strong enough to help us if we are in a pinch! Why are you worried?"

"I guess it was just my usual reaction especially since we usually run in dungeons without Bladeheart's help," Hagane reasoned.

"It's a good thing to be cautious and vigilant about things like this but there will be no thrill in the game if there are no danger present kid. That is the beauty of a game, the more dangerous and hard a game is, the better the game is," Father then pats his back.

"Of course its fun but I am sure not all games are like that..."

"No need to worry Hagane, I am quite familiar with this boss. I am quite confident we will defeat it with ease so no worries."

Since I assured him nothing will go wrong, we step into the portal and we were teleported to the secret room.

...

Compared to the first portal where the moment we used it, we appeared into the next room without the teleport portal behind us, the secret room has the secret portal behind us which means if we are done with our business in the secret room, we can just use the portal again to return to where we are.

"Everyone, don't touch any of the treasure you see just yet. I will survey the place first and disable any traps around. We can't be too sure if it was rigged or not so hold it off if you guys wanted to get more loot without the need of us dying here."

"Ah?" Hagane looked shocked as he retracts his hands on the gold treasure chest.

"You idiot!" Dolly facepalmed herself.

I quickly pulled out the Versatile Weapon and changed it to a sword as the treasure chest that Hagane touched turned into a Mimic.

[Mimic]

Level 99

HP: 900,000/900,000

Trait: Possessed Object

Before the Mimic can even pounce on Hagane, I slashed towards the Mimic, causing it to back off from attacking and its attention was shifted to me. Everyone! Go and attack while I am still maintaining the aggro of the Mimic to me!"

Dolly and Topaz quickly launches several magic attacks and Father quickly unleashed a few flurries of punches towards the mimic. Quick and decisive with the punches, it allowed us perfectly time the battle and reduce any kind of trouble.

"I am sorry!" Hagane apologized as he raised his shield.

"I will reprimand you later but first, help with the aggro against this thing!"
