Chapter 48 - Third Floor
The next time I opened my eyes, I can see the same frozen trees from before. I looked at my back to see how the gate disappear. Sadly, I can't since the gate was already gone.
I can see that other are already behind me so I looked at my surroundings and saw a mountain up ahead. I looked up at the sky and the ceiling was still there. But now I can see the surroundings clearly since there was a miniature sun in the sky.
The last two floors from before has no light so we only used Rory as our source of light and our Dark Vision to see around the dark.
The mountain must be where the last boss will be. Hopefully, the monsters will not be that strong but I expect that the last boss will be Level 200 since it was said in the options earlier that the recommended level for this dungeon is 150 - 200.
"We shall go up in the mountains and hunt each monsters we encounter on the way." I said to everyone.
They all nodded and positioned themselves. The position was Rory in front with two of my shadow clones, me in the middle with Nixie and Blite, and Rai at the back with my other two shadow clones.
While walking towards the mountain, I talked with Blite since I have a plan to let it help when we fought monsters.
"Blite can you be the one to imbue dark elements when I use my Water Magic?" I asked it.
It looked at me and nodded. Thankfully it was obedient and obeyed me. With Blite helping me, it will reduce the preparation for me to attack.
We continued our way up but was stopped by 2 bears, 3 wolves, and 4 blue birds.
The blue birds are the new addition to the group. It was about 2 meters big and has a horn on it's head. I appraised it while they were charging at us.

The falcon is extremely fast and was hard to cope with. The other monsters has the same attribute distribution but there levels was all in the range of 190. This fight will be harder since 9 monsters can be hard to handle with our current numbers and levels.
"Rory you will take on the 2 bears, and Rai take on the three wolves. Nixie give support to the two of them. Leave the four birds to me." I ordered them while dashing towards the falcons with my shadow clones.
The reason I choose Rory to confront the bears is because Rory has greater speed compared to them so he can easily dodge there attacks. While I choose Rai for the wolves is because they don't have powerful attacks so even if they do hit Rai, he can manage the damage and heal with his HP Regeneration.
I can even more be at ease with Nixie as there back up.
While I was dashing towards the falcons, I made water arrows with my shadow clones while Blite was mixing dark elements on it. I and my shadow clones also mixed poison with it. When I was sure that the water arrows was enough, I threw it out towards the falcons.
The falcons tried to dodge the arrows, unfortunately they didn't dodge all of it and was shot by some parts of there bodies. They couldn't flap there wings so they dropped by the ground. I controlled my shadow clones for them to confront one falcon each.
I used my shadow clones to make a close combat battle so that the birds can't fly to the sky again. I made my shadow clones cover there arms with water while mixing it with poison and dark elements. The poison won't damage them but heal them instead while the dark elements didn't damage them because of the Dark Resistance skill.
While the falcons was busied by my shadow clones, I made a finishing move to kill the four birds. I made the same technique of making a big sphere and then dividing it into smaller pieces that looked like needles. I mixed my poison and dark elements inside too. When I was finished, I quickly attacked the falcons with it.
My shadow clones was also hit by my attack but was not damaged by it since they have the skills to be immune from the attack.
Ding!
You gain 1700 EXP.
.....
I heard the system say that by several times while I check for Rory and Rai. When I turned back, I saw that they are just about to finish. I didn't try to help since I can see that they can manage it on there own. I waited for awhile and soon they finished.
This battle helped me level up by a bit.
"Let's continue to go up." I said to them. They all nodded and went back towards there formations earlier.
We continued walking towards the top of the mountain while encountering some monsters on the way. It was a hard fight for every battle but we can still manage somehow. Those battles help me and the others level up by a bit.
I looked up and saw that we are only 1/3 up of the mountains. We already walked for about 5 hours, I can only assume that we will finish going up after 10 hours.
Afterwards, we saw something new when we were half way up the mountain. It looked like a human boy but has blue skin and white hair. By the looks of it, it was a five year old child. I didn't attack it immediately but first appraised it.

It was only weak. I thought it will be strong. Well it is strong but my new look of strong has change since I went into this dungeon.
Seeing that this thing is weak, we killed it immediately. We continued going up while encountering this so called Ice People.
While going closer to the mountain top, I noticed that the Ice People are growing older as we go up. We even encountered a Tier 4 Ice People that was considered an Adult. Thankfully, they all went alone so we can still manage to go up.
After many hours of walking, we finally got to the top.
At the top, we can only see a small mansion. The mansion was clearly made of ice. We didn't enter immediately but went on a rest first.
Thanks from the previous battles, all of our levels are high now. I'm currently level 146 now making Rory and Rai also level 146 while Blite was now level 137.
Blite had an easier time to level up since it has no job. My current stats looks like this now.

______________________________________________
My water and dark related skills have leveled up by my continued hard work of using them always. But they turned into Demonic Water Magic and Demonic Dark Magic. When I try to use my Water Magic now, I can see that the water turned into a darker shade and it also has an ominous aura around it. While my Dark Magic is still black in color but now has a red color mix in it. It only felt more sinister compared to before.
I can now also summon 6 shadow clones making me have a big group. It was now harder to control them but this helped my Parallel Thinking and Thought Acceleration to level up. Even with the level up, I have a hard time controlling it. I might need to practice with this later on.
Also my Frost Magic has evolved into Snow Magic. Nothing much changed from it but now I can make use of the snow around me.
With my current power, I feel a bit sure that I can fight the boss somehow.
