213 Chapter 212 (1/2)

”Wow… to stop the creature for such a long time…” Hammath said, impressed.

”… Why didn't you kill it?” Ava frowned.

”It was just a test… and the test is not over.” Leon answered.

Once again, the mechanical spider got hit and started to tremble while the electric current was still active. Leon approached and covered the creature with a thin layer of earth. After opening a small hole in the layer and receiving some shocks, Leon activated Seal. Much to his surprise, the skill worked, and he transferred the mana to his staff.

Steel Staff III (Neutral)

It grants you the Strength + 30, Endurance + 30

It wasn't bad, but… it wasn't good either. It looked like the mechanical spiders had no elemental capabilities, and that explained the status 'neutral.' The creature used mana to keep itself working; it didn't use to attack, after all.

”I thought the effects would be better considering that those robots are the monsters of what supposed to be in an evolved dungeon… I guess it is a waste of time to use Seal on them since those effects are ridiculous, and I can't sell the weapons on the dungeon shop…”

Then Leon had an idea. He looked behind and saw Hammath wondering what Leon just did and Ava, who was still looking at him suspiciously. Then, Leon tossed the staff to Hammath.

”Do you want it?” Leon asked.

”…Yes.” Hammath said after noticing his growth in status.

”Give me five hundred coins, and it is yours,” Leon said.

Hammath offered a handshake without thinking twice, and then he transferred the five hundred coins. It wasn't a half-bad trade considering that Leon only spent less than a minute to create the staff and a few seconds to use Seal.

”Mmm… maybe the difference of an evolved dungeon and a non-evolved one are the bosses… those mechanical spiders certainly are stronger than most monsters, but I can't imagine them being stronger than earth dragons.”

Maybe it was because he now could almost stop enemies entirely using telekinesis and gravity, but Leon couldn't feel the real danger of those creatures. Regardless, now that the test was over, it was about time to see the boss of that dungeon. Leon was also curious about the world those creatures came from. If it were a world without people, then it would be a waste of time to search there, but if there are people, maybe Leon could find a way to return to Earth. However, much to his surprise, Leon heard Ava's voice.

”Hey… I want one too.” Ava said.

”Five hundred coins.” Leon said.”

Ava offered a handshake and then transferred the coins, but soon Leon sighed and regretted a little.

”I want a bow that increases my speed and dexterity,” Ava said.

It would take a while to find that… even though Leon could create bows in a minute, the effects Seal would add to a weapon were random… fortunately, on the third try, Leon got the bow she wanted.

Steel Bow III (Neutral)

It grants you the Speed + 30, Dexterity + 30

It wasn't worth the hassle carry the other bows, so Leon used Mana-Eater and destroyed them. Unless he obtains a bow that grants him the power to shot Thunder Arrows, he had no reason to use it. Regardless, when Leon stepped forward and bought a few more thousand potions, he was stopped this time by Hammath when he was about to enter the dungeon.

”Are you going alone?”Hammath asked.

”Don't even try, dude,” Leon said. ”Don't follow me, I don't want to involve myself with you guys any further, and I don't want to be chased by the people of your village if something happens.”
