Chapter 5 - Floor Clearing -

They opened the big door and entered in a small quire room.

On the wall was written

"It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?"

answer the correct answer to continue, Fail and suffer the consequences.

"Hmmmm.... greater than God what do you think is greater than God Xandit?"

"The love we have for each other?"

Sanni was happy hearing Xandit saying it.

> Quote:*system

> Your Answer is not correct.

> Teleport to battle arena 1.

They were teleported to a small arena and after a few sec a Orc appeared.

> Quote:*Scan

> Level: 52 (De-buffed)

> The Orc had a abnormal amount of HP and a lot of strength but all the other stats were really low.

"Sanni stay at a safe distance and keep bombarding it with fireballs. I will take the agro and keep dodging the attacks."

"Will do, when we get back in the riddle room say nothing only when you're sure you know the answer."

"Okay"

Xandit ran to the Orc and attacked him and backed off every time the Orc tried to attack or when a fireball was incoming. The fight took almost 5 minutes for them to kill it. Once it died they were teleported back to the riddle room.

Xandit was thinking hard what the answer would be but nothing came to mind.

"There is nothing I can think of Sanni this is something that's up you alley."

"Fool now we will be teleported again."

> Quote:*System

> Nothing is the correct answer one of three riddles complete.

What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

"Easy the letter 'N' Sanni Said.

> Quote:*System

> N is the correct answer two of three riddles complete.

I drive men mad, Never free, you can do almost everything with it.

"That would be money"

> Quote:*system

> Money is the correct answer three of three riddles complete.

> Teleport to boss room.

Xandit and Sanni appeared in a middle large room with lots of obstacles, rocks, walls even holes connecting from one hole to another.

"Let's hurry up and hide somewhere before the boss appears Xandit."

"Good idée."

In the middle of the room a 7 meter tall minotaur with armor, a great axe and two dagger on his belt appeared.

> Quote:*Scan

> level: 81 (De-buffed)

> the Minotaur HP was around 31000 and all other stats were also high.

"Sanni the best thing we can do is attack and then back off and use the obstacles in the room to hide and attack his back. we need to keep doing this until he dies. Keep using fireballs to distract him every time I try to attack his back."

Xandit used the rocks and ruble to hide behind to get closer to the Minotaur. once he was in a position to attack it he PM Sanni to distract it.

-NOW...!

When two fireball were cast Sanni moved to a different position to hide and wait for the next call.

As the first fireball hit Xandit ran in to attack it in the back. As the Minotaur saw the sec fireball incoming he tried to dodge it but right when he tried to move Xandit attacked and hit his back 3 time before going back to hiding.

> Quote:*Lost 1201 HP.

-Again.

Another 2 fireballs were incoming.

Only this time the Minotaur took his great axe and smashed through the fireballs.

Xandit tried to attack his back again but the Minotaur still did not finish his swing and smashed the great axe against Xandit shield.

Xandit lost half his HP.

The Minotaur was destroying everything the kill intend and rage was enormous. Xandit was paralyzed from the aftershock of each swing with the great axe. Sanni had already hidden herself again and could heal the damage done on Xandit without the Minotaur noticing. Xandit activated kill intent so that he would be on full HP again.

"Throw everything you have at it Sanni."

Xandit ran towards the Minotaur again but this time staying close to the ground and only attacking its feet one or two time and then backing off and going in again.

Xandit speed was increasing after each attack and dodge the incoming attack also improved but not jet to his satisfied because occasionally he got hit and would loss half of his HP.

he kept attacking full on as his health slowly but steadily refilled.

After 25 minutes of fighting the Minotaur was almost dead so he dropped the great axe, took out his daggers and change his fighting style to quick and precise attacks.

but because of the wounds to his legs he could not move from his position so Xandit decided to end it.

one last time he ran behind the Minotaur pierced his neck and twisted it as it turn gray and disappeared.

"YESSSS!!!!, We got him Sanni, We got him!"

> Teleport to base

Once in the base Cliff left Sanni her weapon Angi.

"You said almost nothing when we were in the dungeon Cliff."

"I was observing how you guys where fighting."

"Then how did we do? Sanni asked."

"First on teamwork, you guys were almost perfect. but almost perfect is not good enough you need to be perfect. for example in your unique situation you can both attack with melee attacks against melee enemies. why you ask. If one of you is hit the other can run away and heal yourself. and if you also learn to apply your magic attack on your blade for example fireball when your opponent blocks your blade the fireball will still do damage. another example if you use your weapon a magic media you can slash your blade at your opponent from 20 meter away and if you aim well a thunder shock can hit him. you can do the same with wind."

"Second individual fighting, you just hack away there is not style in the way you fight there's no balance in your offence and defenses. so you need to learn a fighting style. go read the book of the style there are in the strategic room and as a reward for clearing floor 1 I will teach you that fighting style."

"Third preparation, you tried to be ready for every fight always on your guard, knowing when to retreat and taking the correct strategy for every monsters weakness. you did splendid on this I can nothing but praise you on this."

"that's a lot we will improve right Sanni?"

"We Will, if Cliff keep pointing out were we fail we will improve even faster."

"Well we are done with the first floor Cliff what rewards do we get?"

"If we are going to clear this dungeon we need some better equipment so I will train blacksmithing and if you read all the books that are stored in the strategic room Sanni. then we can find a fighting style that will fit us and have some better equipment for the next floor"

Xandit went to the blacksmith room to start leveling up the blacksmithing skill.

Sanni went to the strategic room to read some books about different fighting styles. A few were interesting but not suited for their way of fighting. Sanni needed a fighting style that would let her flee if fighting in close combat would be to her disadvantage. So something like a midrange fighting style with magic attacks from a distance would be best suited for her she decided.

At that moment she remembered something that Cliff said that magical attacks could be used as projectiles if you use your sword as a magical media. When she was reading the books she saw fighting style that looked odd to her it used a whip. but now it all made sense if you could infuse magic on the whip you have the range of the whip and the magic attack range.

“I'm going to learn how to use the whip. Now I have to find something for Xandit.”

What kind of fighting style would be suited for Xandit? Looking back on the way we fought the boss of the first floor it has to be quick and needs to make good use of his two shields and blades something that focuses on countering and guerrilla warfare.

Reading further she found two interesting books. One of them was an art of assassination were stealth was an important part for taking out the enemy one by one unaware of what's happening. The other was a style of fighting based on defense and using the opponents attack against them.

Sanni walked to Cliff store to look for Cliff.

"Cliff are your here Cliff?"

"One moment."

"Okay."

"After a few minutes."

"What's the matter Sanni?"

"Well I found the fighting style I want to learn it uses a magical influence whip. But for Xandit I've also found a fighting style. only it are two fighting styles that would be useful if they were combined."

"Well then I will make an exception for this time."

"Thanks Cliff."

"We will come back for training when we are ready we want to level up our blacksmithing and tailoring first."

"Well I don't mind I have to do some things anyway. How about I will train you next week would that be okay."

"That would be perfect Cliff."

[One week passed]

“Well then let's start training. Sanni wanted to learn the whip right? And for Xandit was chosen a mix of two styles.”

“For both the style’s we need a lot of agility So….. we will start with running on a track without obstacles and after some warm up round we will add obstacles.”

> Quote:*System change combat room to track room basic 1.

> *Requesting verification code

> *Enter *********

> *Access code accepted

In a second the room changed to a track room.

Looking in aw what just happened. Cliff said: “What Are You Waiting For? RUN!”

“YES Sir!”

The first 20 minutes went by fast and without much difficulty. Only after 1 hour the cliff added obstacles. Some to jump over and other to crawl under and all over the course small lumps of wood were sticking out of the ground.

“As you might have noticed some lumps of wood are sticking out of the ground the meaning for this is to walk on them and if there is another lump close by to jump to that one If you don’t do that you won’t be eating tonight. There will be more after every hour and they will also get smaller so keep you balance. You still have 5 hours to go for the next break of 30 min.”

Xandit and Sanni took their training very serious and follow every instruction of Cliff.

After 2 hours their pace slowed down.

“Don’t slack of guys keep the same pace only 3 hours to go.”

> Quote:*New stat Agility

> +1 Agility

Motivated by their new stat they picked up the pace.

After 3 hours of running on the track and the increasing difficulty they were done they could rest for 30 min but they did get

> Quote:+4 agility

“You guys did well for the first day, this will be the warming up every day. Now I will train you guys individual for Sanni it will be the whip and Xandit you have to get your weapons we will train them on the track. I will place some targets for you to practice on but be aware as you have to focus on counting. They will attack first and as your running you will have the react very fast you may only stop for 4 second and then you have to get past them. The difficulty will increases every hour and for every target your take too much time for you’ll have to run one more lap. Sanni you will first learn how to use this training whip when standing still after you have mastered that you will also have to start running and practice on the targets on track.”

After 2 weeks of very hard training Cliff thought Xandit the way to move like an assassin without making any noise and Sanni how to use her whip as a magic media.
