Chapter 238: No Respite (P3)

Jungle and Eldwin fend off the constant trickle of monsters that pops out of the tunnel while I recover. Which will still be awhile because I've spent out of the little I've recovered, fending the monsters off with well timed and coordinated casting of [Death Grip], summoning Eldwin and summoning the [Healing Dire] that strengthens my torn pathways little by little.

With how tender they are I can kiss the [Mana Empowering Soul] goodbye for sometime to come. At least until I can check back with Aste and call for some alchemical cures. The [Healing Dire] is only capable of so much, and it seems Mana Pathways are above its power.

For the moment, even after our victory over the hundreds of monsters that gathered to eat us on this layer, the Beast Mother's Cavern still fights back. The tunnel is…a tunnel, dark and seemingly endless with the echoes of water droplets and slow, menacing slithering that emanates from the depths.
