Two hours after the party had entered the dungeon, Yolin's eyebrows twitched for the nth time.
A snap within her stole her attention for a second, discharging energy throughout her body and mind. Her body had, once again, acclimated to the large amounts of E'er released by the Mind Flayers and sent through the Bond by Natasha and Lapia.
The Oni bit her lips in concern. I'm leveling up too quickly, she concluded, looking at the party members.
Everyone had the slight awkward feeling of benefiting from something they did nothing about written on their faces.
Except Lapia. The Domi Elf had a smile as wide as the oceans on her face, and her throat and shoulders shook with joy. Her efforts were showing great results. The woman's eyes, however, remained focused on the complex spells.
Yolin's eyes squinted in curiosity, and she appraised the Wizard she was guarding.
[Lapia Pofeta – Bonded Partner – Domi Elf, Lvl 315 Pyromancer]
A surprised whistle escaped the tank.
Progress was massive, and the Elf was getting the most out of the delve.
Yolin looked around for any potential threats that would approach, and after noticing none would go past the Halve, she checked her progress.

Yolin pursed her lips, letting out a pensive hum.
It could be said Yolin Makav's focus was to endure whatever Galeia could throw at her. She had gone for quality over quantity, choosing complex skills that would ensure her and her party's survival, whoever she would end up joining.
What should I focus on? She wondered, going over her skills and Classes. With how fast we're leveling, maybe Monk would be nice to get a bit more Strength. She looked ahead and eyed the Mind Flayers within Lapia's spells. Constitution would be better, though...
As such, the Oni changed the path E'er took when entering her from Paladin to Asura. More Constitution is always better, moreso when considering she planned to ask Natasha to break her mind.
Every point counted towards being indestructible.
