Volume 6 Chapter 30: Changing Things Up
"We made it to the 2nd floor!" Herrick and Melor screamed in excitement! Faelyn frowned, "Keep screaming like that, and we'll have more soldiers hunting for us." They were in a dungeon. One sound was enough to cause a horde of monsters to come their way.
No one was safe.
"Wooohooo!" But the two didn't care as they continued to shout.
"..." Those two brats!
"Let them have this moment. It's normal for them to be this excited. And this section is a sort of safe zone before we head into the danger zone." Keith chuckled.
"It is?"
"Mmhmm." Keith nodded.
"Seriously. Did you really remember all the tunnels?" Jack questioned. He was astonished by Keith's command skills. They were met with a couple more when they left one tunnel. However, Keith efficiently guided them out. Each route seemed to be the shortest one.
"I did." All the tunnels were connected to the second floor. It didn't matter whether or not they took one or the other.
"Wait a minute," Everyone paused, "You remembered all the routes?" There were 50 tunnels in the first one. However, that wasn't the only thing. When they entered one, they would find themselves with a couple more! The combinations were endless!
Yet this person said he remembered it all?!
"It's simple enough. Most of these tunnels connect to the same section. You just need to figure out which group, and you're good." Efficiency and preserving strength. That was the objective Keith had. He could take any route. But that would waste power. That was why he remembered all of it.

"And the shade is an easy tell."
"..." Again, how do you see that? That was something the others couldn't figure out.
"To think you could remember all of that?" Gabriel chuckled. This man went above and beyond.
"Anyways, Herrick, Melor. Don't go down yet. I need to say some things."
"Understood. You don't need to worry about us." Herrick and Melor understood. Even as they ran around, they didn't stray far from the group. They were the vanguard. It was their job to protect them.
"As we head down the dungeon, monsters on those floors will have the ones in the previous. In addition, there's going to be long-range fighters." Besides the soldiers that were there, there were also going to be archers.
"It's paramount we proceed with caution." Keith declared.
"Alright!"
"Sarah, I want you to be prepared to use your healing magic at any moment."
"Understood."
"Alfia, I want you to be on the defensive." Having one of them become defensive was the best.
"Gabriel, switch to magic dealing." "Gotcha, I have my sword ready." Gabriel brought out his magic sword.
"We can go like this!" Keith smiled. Like that, the group continued on. It was the same as when they fought with the soldiers. As they continued to walk, they arrived in a large area.
"Is this another safe zone?"
"No." Keith shook his head. There are way too many holes. Each wall had giant holes in them.
"Hmpf!" Faelyn twirled her spear, blocking the attacks.
"Archers on the left wing!" "We have some on the right!" It wasn't only on Faelyn's side. Arlo and Jack spotted a few as well. The archers had come out from those holes.
"Let's blow them up!" Carolyn raised her staff. However,
"Carolyn, don't use fire magic."
"Eh?"
"We can't see them if you use it," Fire magic created a lot of smoke. It wasn't a problem against the soldiers as they charged. But the archer's distances changed things.
"Earth wall!" Faelyn quickly created a couple of walls of earth to block the arrows.
"Then I will use this!" Carolyn's body started to shine. A glowing light began to form on top of her head. It was like a galaxy. The next second, the stars shined bright and fired down at the archers!
What the?! They're lasers! Everyone's eyes widened as the lasers vaporized the monsters there!
"Good job!" Keith shouted. That took out half of the skeleton archers.
"Herrick, Melor!"
"On it!" The two charged at the monsters. It was time to destroy them all.
