{Current Location: 51st floor_ Toward the entrances of next floor}
{Time: 8:47 AM_ Around twenty minutes since the party entered this floor}
We have been in this floor for around twenty minutes but nothing really give us any trouble. These monsters here were around high level 4 at most. But all our main attack force being level 5 and 6 so it was quite easy to say the least.
Bam! Thud!
Slash!
Soon Bete and Tiona took out the last of remaining rhino like monsters blocking our path to the 52nd floor.
"We really tore right through, didn't we?!" Lefiya exclaimed, surprised at the efficiency of the party.
"HAHAHA, Ya Some were even more berserk than I anticipated." Tsubaki said laughing, clearly enjoying the trip.
"Ya, but now I envy your armor even more, Rain. That sub-space pocket and stealth of your armor is really amazing." Raul said from my side after I came out of shadow. He really loves my armor.
All the support items and supplies were in my inventory for quick availability of items and more efficient travel pace.
"Na, you won't get this armor but you can get your own sub-space pocket (modified version void bag) after I start selling them." I said giving him a hope.
"Enough talking. From here onwards level 52 starts and it will become very difficult to resupply." Finn said, stopping us from wasting any more time.
"Why?" someone asked confused why it will be hard to resupply.
"Because they will fire at you the movement you stop moving." Finn answered.
"Fire at us?" Lefiya even more confused looking at others for answers.
"From here on out.... its hell below us." Raul said, with that same face you use while telling ghost stories to your friends.
"Puff Ha ha ha...." seeing his all serious but for some reason funny face, I laugh my butts off.
"Hey what's so funny?!" Raul shouted at me, clearly offended a bit.
"You should look at your face when saying that hahaha...."
From the side Shades and Riveria just shook their heads at our antics.
"If you all have finished joking around, we should be moving forward." Finn said cutting our fun time short.
Hearing his command every one get back in formation and charged in the 52nd floor.
For the next five minutes we keep charging without stopping on a single spot and killing any monsters that came our way. Most monsters were Insect type, like scorpion or Spider but some snake type were also there such as thunder snake.
"Fin, what you think, they'll be firing at us? I don't sense anything around us....." Tsubaki said, thinking if the info in the guild was outdated.
"They've already got us in their trap." That all Finn said before the ones with sharp ears start picking weird noise.
"Bete, dodge!" Finn shouted, already knowing what those weird noises mean.
Just as Bete jump to the left side a pillar of fire come out melting a hole through the floors. Man that fire's heat was almost on par with my enchanted forge's heat which can completely melt my special alloy. Almost on par I said.
"Let's skirt around the west!" Finn commanded leading us to other path around the hole which still have its border covered in hot molten rocks.
As we were running pillars of fire keep erupting through the floors around us which keep we dodging, some times narrowly avoiding it.
"Now I see what you meant by firing at us!" Tsubaki exclaimed, after getting the first hand experience.
"Raul, look out!" Gareth shouted at Raul to dodge.
But Raul's reaction time was a bit slow and was about to get stuck in the web shoot by a spider monster.
"Raul!" but just in time Lefiya pushed him out of the way and get stuck in the web herself, getting pulled toward the spider on the wall above.
Buuut here comes her plot armor in rescue. Just as she got closer to the spider a tower of flames erupt from the floor missing Lefiya by a small margin but our poor wall spider wasn't that lucky and got burn to crisp. The string of web on which Lefiya was hanging also got burnt which cause her to fall in the hole made by the flames, catching a direct express line straight from floor 52 to 58.
Watching Lefiya catching a express line directly to 58th floor, other members also jumped in the hole as well, knowing my telekinesis ability can hold on the physically weaker members and all the heavy supply bags in my inventory not burdening anyone down.
As we were traveling in the express line, one of the dragon below locked on to us and released another fire jet.
"I'll handle it." saying that Riveria casted a quick barrier spell blocking the attack.
Soon we pass through the roof of 58th floor and I used my telekinesis to hold on Riveria, Lefiya and Raul for a smooth landing. As for others they were strong enough to take on the fall damage without being injured.
The main close combat unit were the the first one to land and they start clearing the area around the landing spot for better footing.
As for us, Raul was deployed just after their initial momentum was reduced enough to be within their limits to join others, and both mages were chanting their magic spells which they unleash just after the initial landing. And me welllll, I am a support and my job is to cover them with my rifle.
Clank...
Slash! Slash!
Boommm
Roarrrr Thud....
The monster on this floor have a high spawn. No matter how many we kill they keep coming, the most annoying ones were the red dragons and the new caterpillar species. Red dragons were like snipers, you have to keep an eye on them and the caterpillars were like an army of ants massive in numbers.
My and Shade's primary focus were the red dragons, as we both have great assassination skills making it easier. While AOE attackers were focusing on caterpillars.
After around 15 to 20 minutes later our battle end, as this floor has no more juice left to spawn more monsters.
During the fight we notice one thing, the caterpillar monsters were also for some reason moving toward the south like us where path to the 59th floor lies.
"Let's take a quick breather. Tsubaki, Rain, I need you two to repair everyone's weapons." Finn said as no more monsters were coming at least for now, making it a ideal movement for a quick maintenance check.
"Okey." was all I said and took out all tools needed from my inventory.
"Right, leave it to us." Tsubaki said taking the weapons for repair.
After finding a good place I and Tsubaki started our weapon maintenance while on the side main group was discussing their strategy and other things for the next floor after collecting all the monster loot.
"Don't you find repairing repairing same thing again and again boring, Tsubaki?" I asked, finding this job boring already. Thou I like forging new things but repair and maintenance was not my thing.
"Well not everything have self repairing properties like the your gears. It is a basic part of being a smith, you better get use to it. Hahaha" she replied, laughing at my stupid question.
