Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

Chapter 139 Avaris Greater Labyrinth (Part VII)

Lunch was over, and we both made it to the eighteenth floor. I liked the typical plains of the eighteenth floor.

There were no annoying environments that could make things worse. The monsters consist of mid or high-second-rank monsters.

Any monster could appear, from beasts to insects to reptiles. We just needed to clear a few more floors, and our monthly commission would be over.

After wearing the ring I borrowed from Livie, the drops from monsters became more frequent. I was glad that I had asked Livie for the ring.

Walking around the plains, a giant mole appeared. It was a good thing I could detect where it was digging. Otherwise, it would have kept hiding underground to harass us.

Killing the mole, Livie and I continued our exploration. After a while, Livie and I could feel the boss's mana.

Making our way to the boss, it was there eating a monster it had just killed. Its power had risen after finishing the monster's core.

Well, that was a discovery that I had never noticed. I would have never thought dungeon monsters would use other monsters as a power-up.

With its strength rising, it stood up and looked at us, ready to attack—the enemy in front of us, a giant orc.

Prepared to attack, it had to do a battle cry before it would attack. Rushing us with its axe, I went in with my sword.

This was the perfect chance to test my weapon. With both of our weapons clashed, I was winning due to my mana added to my weapon.

In terms of physical strength, I would lose in that aspect. But this world was mana-focused, pushing the orc's axe back. I went in for another slash.

Without having any power to defend my attack, my slash cut through the orc's chest. It was a shame that my attack couldn't finish instantly, but it had great results.

Having to connect my attack, the orc growled in pain. I didn't stop and stab the heart of the orc. Plunging my sword inside, the orc boss had died.

I didn't win in skill but in raw power and with my decisiveness. Killing the orc had given it an axe as an artifact.

We got our second artifact in a row. Looking at the ring, I felt that my luck had finally changed. I wouldn't be able to use the axe, so Livie and I would sell it after leaving the labyrinth.

"Livie, could I keep your ring?" It was pretty selfish of me to say this, but this ring is helping us gain cash.

"I have been getting lucky with the drops coming with the monsters using this."

"You can keep the ring if you do something for me." Livie didn't seem to mind me having it.

"What do I have to do?" As long as it was not something too outrageous, I didn't mind doing it.

"I will tell you when we get back." Livie has been getting cheekier by the day, but I didn't mind.

With the boss beat, the nineteenth floor was our next destination. Heading into the next floor, we got lucky with where we were placed.

The nineteenth floor was a small island. We spawned by the beach and could somewhat see the outline of the place.

No monsters had appeared when Livie and I began our exploration. Reaching the middle of the island, we found a chest and the door to the next floor.

Now that I think about it, there was a slight chance to go to a treasure floor where only prizes could be found.

"Livie, we found a treasure floor!" Ever since I got this ring, my luck had increased significantly, which was pretty scary in its own right.

"Treasure floor?" Just saying the name itself was self-explanatory, Livie was shocked to know that a treasure floor had existed.

"See this chest? I heard that these chests are valued about ten times the worth of an artifact on their floor." Meaning our prizes would be worth ten times the value of what the boss would drop.

"Could I open it?" Livie looked at me with her puppy eyes.

I took the golden ring and gave it to Livie, "Wear this first before you open it."

I didn't mind letting Livie open the chest. Her initial luck value was much higher than mine. And if I got something terrible, I would feel regretful.

I only needed the golden ring because the drop would depend on mine and not Livie's when I killed the monster.  Drops of the monster would depend on which person would kill the boss.

With Livie equipping the ring, she opened the chest. With such an opportunity, I prayed for something good.

Too scared to look, I asked Livie what we got. "Did you get something good?"

"I don't know." Did she not know what the artifact we got was used for?

Taking a peek, I saw what was inside the chest. Is that what I think it is? Grabbing what was inside, I couldn't help but marvel at what Livie had opened.

In my hand was a mana dispenser. This item we found was truly priceless, something that would need to be hidden from the eyes of others.

"Charlie, what is it?" Poor uneducated Livie, you would've been wiped if I wasn't here.

"This is a mana dispenser, something precious."

"What does it do?"

"Depending on its power, it would provide pure mana, letting us absorb mana at a faster pace."

"The one at my family manor would help us increase our speed by five times the amount." That is how my "mother" and any of the three families in our country could grow so fast.

"Five times???" Livie didn't know what to say to this. She was too shocked even to think.

"Let this be a secret only for you and me to know, ok?" Livie nodded her head rapidly, understanding the consequence.

With this, our speed in powering up would increase.
