Chapter 150 - Help (4) (1/2)

”So that was what you had in store for us,” Billy said while looking at Marie. ”I am surprised.”

”Hah, how did you like that?” Marie asked with a smug expression on her face, but she soon made that disappear. ”That was what I would like to say, but I am surprised as well. On the last floor, the monsters don't spawn. They are already there, as you saw, but their numbers are way beyond my expectations.”

”Is it because this dungeon hasn't been cleared in a while, or is it because of the rain?” Billy said.

”I don't think that they are related, I remember well, the second guild master cleared this dungeon one year after the first passed away and there are no registers about this many monsters on the last floor,” Marie said.

Despite saying that, Marie didn't have a proper explanation. In the end, there were too many things about dungeons that they didn't know. Still, what they had to do didn't change. Just a new challenge appeared… they had to defeat the monsters faster than the core of the dungeon could reproduce them.

”Well, fear not, for I am here,” Marie said. ”I didn't bring my weapon today, but tomorrow I will bring and help you guys.”

Billy doubted that the help of someone who forgets their weapon when they come to a dungeon would actually help. Still, at that point in time, they couldn't ignore her help. In fact, it would be weird if she decided to follow her precious plan of waiting for one week.

”We still have some time… so let's use all of our energy to push the enemies backward while I recover the materials,” Billy said.

It was quite something that Billy still was worried about money, after what he had seen. Still, leaving those behind would be foolish. So, the party followed his lead to retrieve what was rightfully theirs… and while they did that, they ended up leaving behind even more material numbers by going all out.

Regardless, the group beat their previous record and obtained one and a half gold coins from that day's work. Billy's bag of coins was starting to feel heavy, but instead of that, he was more satisfied with his skills progress.
