Mark, Natasha, Lossa, and the two soldiers encountered another group of goblins but this time there were six of them and one of them was a goblin shaman. Natasha and the other soldier with the shield intercepted the melee goblins and Lossa concentrated on killing the goblin shaman. Before the shaman died, it was able to cast a Fire Bolt which hit one of the soldiers but from how it looked, the damage was not that big although Mark could see that the soldier wasn’t able to move the arm that was hit.

After defeating the group of goblins, Mark cast his Dryad Circle spell which healed everyone from their injuries, and even the one that was hit by the goblin shaman’s Fire Bolt was fully healed. They also received a wand from the goblin shaman.

“I’m guessing that after appraisal, we would be able to sell this wand for about ten Mana stones,” Lossa said after inspecting the wand.

Mark borrowed the wand and secretly Identified it, and it says that it’s a Fire Bolt wand that adds damage to the Fire Bolt spell and mages would be able to store three Fire Bolts on the wand. Based on his identification, items from this world and his dungeon had big differences but he was not sure since the data that he had was too minimal.

After fighting another group of goblins and harvesting Mana stones, the group went to the second floor. The second floor was still the same, a cavern filled with nothing, but rocks, and the monsters were still the same, goblins warriors, archers, and shamans, and the numbers of the enemies still fluctuated between five to seven goblins in a group.

Mark and his group continued fighting till they reached the third floor. They didn’t stop since their stamina was always full and any injuries they received were immediately healed by Mark’s spell every time the battle ended. The group was also always fully satiated due to the berries from the Good Berry spell that Mark cast every time they felt a twinge of thirst or hunger.

The third floor was different. Instead of goblins, the monsters were hobgoblins. There were hobgoblin warriors and archers. Curiously, there were only two types of monsters, and this time, Natasha was forced to use the Vicious Slash from her sword to save Lossa from an injury from an unexpected attack.

They did earn a lot of Mana stones and some swords that Natasha said would earn them some gold when appraised and sold.

They completed the third floor in no time since it was easy with no long-range monsters. The fourth floor was still hobgoblins but this time there were hobgoblin archers. Mark kept up his Bark Skin and Space Shield just to make sure that he was safe, and he would always cast Dryad’s Circle after every battle.

The group easily conquered the fourth floor of the dungeon, and it only took them three hours from the first to the fourth floor. They never needed any rest due to the maintenance spells that Mark would always cast.

The fifth floor of the dungeon was tricky since aside from the hobgoblin archers, hobgoblin shamans appeared and not only they could cast offensive spells like Fire Bolts, but they also had control and de-buff spells like Slow and Weak.

“Mark, do you have a spell to dispel the de-buff?” Natasha asked while fighting two hobgoblin warriors.

“I do but I think it would be better to cast it once the battle ends,” Mark said since Dryad’s Circle did dispel de-buff.

Lossa concentrated on killing the hobgoblin shamans and for the most part, he was always successful.

Mark started assisting the group secretly by using Telekinesis. He would hold some monsters' feet so they would get stuck or push spellcasters to interrupt their spell casting.

After the battle ended, Mark called everyone for the Dryad’s Circle spell.

“Do you think we didn’t notice what you’re doing?” Natasha asked Mark.

“What?” Mark replied while trying to look innocent.

Everyone laughed while Natasha rolled her eyes.

“Lord Mark, it was very obvious since the shamans would suddenly stumble while casting a spell or a warrior would suddenly get stuck,” Lossa commented.

“I only helped a little and only during the part where anyone needs one.”

“I appreciate that and honestly this adventure is so pleasurable to me. It’s like I’m just playing a game,” Natasha kissed Mark on the cheek.

“Yes, everything was so smooth, and even as of now, we are still full of energy and fully satiated,” Lossa added.

Mark and the group completed the fifth floor without any problem, earning a lot of Mana stones to the delight of Natasha, Lossa, and the guards.

“We’re earning a lot of money!” Lossa said happily.

“Yes, and I’m becoming proficient in using my new sword. It’s a delight to use it and its skill is so powerful,” Natasha added.

The sixth floor of the dungeon gave everyone a surprise since they encountered hobgoblin assassins. Mark was forced to use a healing spell mid-fight to make sure that the guard fatally hit by an assassin survived and he also needed to hold the assassin using Telekinesis.

When they encountered a group of enemies, they wondered why there were only four hobgoblins. Two shamans and two warriors.

As usual, the tanks, Natasha, and one of the soldiers engaged the group of monsters and Lossa focused on casting his spells on the shamans. While they were fighting, a couple of assassins suddenly attacked the soldier who was wielding a spear and fighting with a shaman, and the other assassin that appeared attacked Natasha.

The guard captain managed to defend herself using her shield since she was fast enough, but the soldier was wounded in the neck by the hobgoblin assassin’s knife.

Natasha used her sword skill Vicious Slash to kill the assassin and Mark used his Telekinesis spell to hold the assassin and the other guard immediately killed it. He then immediately cast the Bed of Daisies to heal the wounded soldier. Beautiful daisies grew from the wounded soldier's feet and everyone inside it felt the flower’s healing power. Luckily, even though the wound was almost fatal, the spell managed to heal the soldier fast enough that he survived.

Lossa blamed himself since he did have a detect spell and they became complacent due to how easy it had been for the group so far.

“We are fools. There was a warning on the portal that it would be better if there were third circle profession holders and that meant that this dungeon would be dangerous.” Natasha said.

“Well, now we know, and we will do better,” Mark said.
