Multiverse Gacha

[30] Monster Feast!

Hiss~

*ROOOOAR*

Monsters emitting black smoke surrounded the area.

Although there was some distance between them, it was enough for their kind to rush to support at the fastest speed.

"Hey, is this a joke? Is our luck so bad that we encounter a monster feast?"

Aki was shocked. In her many years in Orario, the monster feasts she experienced were rare.

Today was just accompanying a new member of the familia, and they encountered this?

On the other hand, August's face showed excitement and thrill.

"What are you going to do? These are Hellhounds, and it's a large-scale group during the monster feast. One wrong move, and they'll tear you into pieces!"

Watching August preparing to act, Aki immediately shouted at him.

Now the two were companions. In this Dungeon, without companions, one's power was ultimately limited, especially in such special circumstances.

"Saa, the stage is mine now!"

Hum~ Hum~ Hum~

The next moment, behind August, golden ripples oscillated in the void. Then, one after another, sword weapons slowly extended.

The entire cave was rendered with a faint golden hue due to this scene, and August, as the center of everything, looked like a deity, overlooking everything.

"Aki, stay safe!"

"Huh?"

Swoosh~ Swoosh~ Swoosh~

Aki hadn't even said anything, and the unforgettable scene happened.

Weapons tainted with golden radiance, like unsheathed swords, moved forward in the front, and it wasn't a one-time occurrence, but a continuous chaotic onslaught.

Boom~! Boom~! Boom~!

Under such a formation, even though the Hellhounds were fast and numerous, they were still being eliminated at a visible speed.

This kind of scene was something Aki had never seen in her entire life.

Different from the magnificent and shocking magic, this scene, as if the lord of all swords, was overwhelming and had a tremendous impact on a person.

Swoosh~

Then, suddenly, at this moment, August threw his Elucidator, towards Aki.

Aki was taken aback. Although she was level 4, she was still a human. If hit, she would be injured or even killed.

Splurt~

However, just as Aki was slowly getting puzzled, the Elucidator had already passed by her side.

The pitch-black sword directly pierced through a Hellhound that was attempting to attack from behind.

"Ah, thanks!"

"Miss Aki, we're in the Dungeon now, and it's a monster feast. Don't be careless!"

"Understood!"

Hearing August's words, Aki nodded and raised her own short sword.

August didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, this lady was a solid level 4. Even if she was stronger because of him, it wasn't by a small amount. There was no need to worry too much.

The interweaving of blades and blood painted a unique scene.

After more than half an hour, everything settled, and the ground around was pockmarked. Blood and shattered magic stones were scattered everywhere.

The monster's magic stones were not very sturdy. They would break when attacked inside the monster.

Although the barrage attack by the Gate of Babylon was cool, it easily destroyed the magic stones dropped on the ground.

"Hahaha, finally dealt with!"

Aki, panting, said slowly. The strength of the Hellhound was not great individually, but the large number posed a challenge.

Looking at August in front of her, Aki didn't know what to say anymore.

It had only been a few days since he joined the familia, and he was already this strong. Although it was due to skills and weapon equipment, this power was still his own.

With such strength, it's no wonder their captain valued him so much, even using the beauty strategy to attract him.

As the intelligent adventurer of the second team in the familia, she naturally saw through many things.

August had joined the familia for such a short time, and his strength had improved so quickly. Moreover, his inherent abilities were also very significant. It was understandable that Finn went out of his way to recruit him, even using a beauty to entice him.

"Really, killed so many Hellhound, and not a single drop. Is our luck this bad today?"

August was speechless. After cleaning up the battlefield, he found that apart from the magic stones, there was no other loot.

Moreover, among these magic stones, many were shattered during the previous attacks, directly discounting their value.

"The drop from monsters is just a matter of probability."

"But when it comes to me, today's probability is zero!"

"Didn't you drop a rabbit's tooth in the upper floors?"

"Can that be the same!"

August glanced at Aki, can drops from monsters on the upper and lower floors be the same?

"I say, August, are you really short of money? Didn't you take out 200,000 Valis to buy weapons yesterday?"

"That was all my assets."

"Huh?"

"Now I only have a few thousand Valis left in my hands, not even ten thousand!"

"Then why did you... yesterday..."

"No way, who let my skill burn money!"

"Eh~"

Recalling the scene just now when the Gate of Babylon was activated, Aki couldn't help but nod.

Indeed, this skill was strong, but it really burned money.

After all, the second team of the familia was often responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and strategic preparation during expeditions. So, Aki was quite knowledgeable about weapons.

Using weapons like this, even if you don't use it many times, it would still be scrapped.

This made her look at August, and this skill was really linked to money.

Last night, she also heard from Tiona that the 200,000 Valis from August was accumulated over several days of exploring the Dungeon. Now he threw it in.

"Finn gave me twenty weapons before. They're almost scrapped in just three days!"

"Three days?"

Aki was shocked. Twenty weapons scrapped in three days?

You can't eat weapons this quickly even if you're eating them.

"Most of the time was spent in the Dungeon during these three days, and the usage frequency was a bit too high."

"Then you really worked hard!"

"Yeah, and weapons like these. Even if I try to get someone to maintain them, almost no blacksmith would take the job. It's not only laborious but also has little repair income."

August didn't recruit someone for maintenance, but the final result made him give up.

Due to the issue of material, these ordinary weapons themselves had low durability. Even if they were maintained, it didn't make much sense.

Most importantly, mature blacksmiths wouldn't accept such orders for this kind of ordinary weapon. It's not only labor-intensive but also had little maintenance income.

Low profit meant there was no market.
