Chapter 356: Finding Party Members (2/2)

‘Oh, Edward, Edward. How could you come up with something that? It’s not theological at all! It seems that my faith is not firm at all, I should chant the Church of Games doctrine a hundred times later.”

“Looks like it would take Mister Mufasa a while more to come out. With that being the case, let’s look for things we need for the next exploration.”

Having understood the current situation, Edward didn’t keep hesitating around and waste time.

Players like them who had reached Dark Sky would more or less saved up some elven arcane text that could be smelted into new runes. They could then try exchanging unused runes or attempt new runic arrangements. Moreover, they need to replenish potions and other consumables, which they had spent a lot in the Deep Wall dive alone.

“Incidentally, my Zoffy rune isn’t effective and I should exchange it for other runes.” As the Skyfire Herald, Edward possesses strong fire resistance in the first place, which meant that the fire resistance rune Zoffy was useless for him aside from increasing his equipment durability against fire damage. “Besides…”

After exchanging his runes at the blacksmith shop of the Unnamed Town, Edward hesitated for some time, and eventually teleported to Trinia through the lifestone.

They couldn’t mobilize a raid party for this event, and could at best operate in a group of six.

And initially, Edward’s group was a full party when they entered the dungeon, which included himself, Joe, Gou Dan, Eleena, Mufasa and Marni.

Nonetheless, the team was already left with only four at the Faint Crystal Stratum when Marni was killed and Eleena left the group after finding the old mayor of Crookes.

It hurt even more that they had no healers and what passed off as half-a-tank amongst their quartet.

After all, Joe’s Spirit Swordsman class deducts one-fourth of his HP to be used as HP for his spirit familiar, which mean that familiar swordsmen would only have slightly more HP than mages even if their basic stats were quite high. Therefore, if they weren’t an armored class, they wouldn’t even count as half a tank.

It would clearly be a little difficult to clear a dungeon with such a setup.Moreover, Eleena, their party’s usual carry was being used as a tool for this event. She had to stay in front of the Tortoise Colossus to open the path into the dungeon for other Players, and therefore couldn’t really join the event.

Marni had also left their party earlier to join another party, and with that being the case, they would have to look for others to fill the vacant spots.

Therefore, the people Edward had to sought out was certain.

The first would be Leah. The Warrior Princess was quite interested in the new dungeon as well, although she was a little uncomfortable with joining the event since she wasn’t present in the battle against the Tortoise Colossus.

But after Edward’s invite, she easily agreed to joining his party, ignoring old Vanke’s protests.

Hence, the new carry was online.

Still, Leah’s Warrior Princess class leaned towards combat. Compared to Eleena’s Saintess-in-training class which had an assortment of skills to handle almost all situations, Leah was more like a machine for team buffs, with herself having high attack and defense allowing her to both fight and defend, although she only lacked healing despite her strength. That was precisely why Edward had to visit Trinia to find their last party member.

“Jessica, could you come to help me at the moment?”
