"Bunker Buster!" Dynamite Girl slaest attack

Valera instinctively sensed danger and raised her shi+eld and hunkered behind it

A ulfed the cavern, then the explosion erupted with an ear-rattling crash The whole cavern shook, stalactites breaking off fro in a rain of rock

Valera felt the shockwave of the explosion slareaves into the dirt with all her prodigious strength, she still skidded back a good dozen h her shi+eld and paused in admiration

There was a sizable, blackened, and sround where the slied inside a crater in the ceiling, blown back as she had been by the force of her own in' that acid on us now, huh!?" said Dynaed herself from her crater bit by bit She was bloody and bruised all over but despite her injuries, she had the widest sround, breaking her fall with a small explosion burst She peered down into the several meter deep, srabbed Dyna her hurtling back several meters

"The hell was that for!?" said Dynamite Girl as she stood back up

"The slime is yet to fall" Valera blocked a few tendril shots of slime with her shi+eld before she reached in and withdreatermelon sized, crystalline emerald rock - the slime's core She threw the core down to the earth and then split it in half with her shi+eld

The glowing green core di it faded away Inside of the core was a dried purple eyeball - the Eye of Azoth

"Excellent work, you two" Aldrich walked into the cavern with his undead army in tow behind him

"Here, master, the Eye of Azoth" Valera knelt before Aldrich and offered up the eye

Aldrich looked at the baseball sized, wrinkled up and dried out eye in Valera's palm expectantly With this, he could craft a powerful weapon that could carry him all the way to the second Trial Quest, potentially even the third

Aldrich then headed over to a chest in the corner of the cavern and tapped it with his staff again There, he obtained the head piece for the [Grave Reaper] set
