Volume 6 Chapter 91: New Objective: 20th floor
But they were not the only ones who were being affected so much. Shakti glared, "Can you guys really say that?!" Don't think I don't know how you all feel?!
"..." The others went cold; all of them had dead eyes. The aroma got to them, not so much like Groa and Shakti. However, it was enough to make them feel dead.
"Don't you guys want to try?" Shakti's words were really inciting. However, Morgan smacked everyone, "Ignore her."
Keith wasn't focused on what was going on behind him as he smelled the aroma. It should be good. What was next was to open the damn thing up. And the aroma from the pot was ten-fold! The shank was drenched in the stew. There was no need for bowls as he started to eat from the pot.
The meat is so tender! The king deserved its reputation. Tender and juicy. It was soft like a marshmallow. The amount of juices coming out was incredible. While Keith savored the taste, he didn't realize the loud rumbling coming from the side.
"Titus is that-" "Shut it." The grin on Titus's expression was that of a monster! There was no way he could say anything. It would be going back on his word.
"Screw it! I'm going to-" "So delicious!" Keith patted his stomach. That alone caused Groa's expression to turn blank. He quickly walked up to Keith,
"Keith, are you done with the food?" "Yea! It was really delicious as well!"

"..." Do you have to say that? It wasn't Groa now. The others were so conflicted.
"Anyways, I'm going to do some running." After eating so much, he needed to move around and exercise.
"..." Our food!
Shakti was kneeling as she stared at the wall, "How could he be so chirper after all of that?!"
"Dammit!" Groa slammed his fist.
....
"Alright! We can set up camp here!" Titus stated. After fighting for another hour or two, they had to rest. Camping was standard procedure. While the members went to bed, a few would be awake, ready to warn the whole if a monster appeared.
And the people who took the first watch were Titus and Keith. As the two sat outside,
"Keith, I want to thank you for stepping down like that. I'll have Kaiser reward you after we return to the guild."
"There's no need to do that." Keith waved his hand.
Titus shook his head, "You were the one who did most of the work when dealing with the boss." Keith inhibited the monster's movements. That did a lot for the group. It lowered the damage Craig and the frontline took and gave Morgan and the mages time to chant.
"It's fine. I don't really care much about the treasure. I'm focused on learning what to do and finding new ingredients." Treasure wasn't really his focus.
"I see." Titus sighed.
But then Keith asked, "Titus, how far are we going down?" The information they had on the dungeon wasn't enough. They were entering without a light. Just the floor boss on the tenth floor was already uncommon.
"Our group only needs to fight the two-floor bosses, and that would be it." Most of the time, dealing with the 5th and 10th would be enough to gauge the rank of a dungeon.
"But we might have to go to the 20th floor to figure everything out." This dungeon was irregular. It wouldn't be a surprise that there were other abnormalities.
"I see."
But with this team, I doubt we would be taken down so easily." Morale was at a high. And their team wasn't that injured as well. With the healing done by the mages,
"Indeed."
