27 Chapter 20 (1/2)

”Hmm… quite a lot of numbers here” Tokaya… muttering slowly in Tenko's ears, shivering as she's tingling all over. She then said, ”Ermm, you're a bit… too close, K.”

”Ahh, sorry.”

Tenko showed her Status to Tokaya, asking for her opinion on them.

Because of how much they got from the previous battle, it is hard for them to choose which points go to where. A total of 1600 Attribute points and 48 Stat points available to be allocated. They have figured that... every 5 levels, one would get an extra 5 Stat points, and then every 10 levels, they would get 10 Stat points as a bonus.

They talked a lot about the use of [Turn Undead] being so effective against that monster, and how useful it would be if she can maneuver a bit more, especially with that armor weighing her down. They also talked about attack powers, how much can she spend to optimize it well enough while having two of the previous stats mentioned to be upgraded and aligned well with the others' Status build.

This is the result.

They also decided that, for at this moment, not to upgrade her INT stats. It is due to the optimization of the entire group so Tenko will not be able to use the [Firebolt] spell at the moment.

Anko as well, she opted to increase another stat of hers to up the damage and the effectiveness of her [Hydrosophist Spell].

Chika on the other hand increased her INT stat, she is indeed needed that badly, and yes… pun definitely intended. She is also increasing her STR and DEX so they can catch up to the rest of the group while also able to carry more things inside her backpack.

As for Tokaya, she too has allocated her all of her points.

Tenko is not feeling comfortable about the RES stat, but she upped one point to it, just to get an ease of mind.

”Shall we keep moving then?” Tokaya asked.

Chika responded, ”Yes, PLeAsE. We need to find food ASAP!”

With a chuckle and the light aflame, they went onward… to the deeper part of the unknown.

…

They went further and further, holding their empty stomach. Nothing has been found and instead of going up to the surface, they keep going down and down again, at this point, they might have reached the bottomless abyss.

They slide over, a few stumbles, but the other managed to help them.

There are many minerals in the area, but they don't have both time and energy to mine them. So, they ignored it and continue to walk ahead. Soon after, they found many more 'rooms” akin to the doorless room from before.

Nothing but a bunch of silver ores lying around, and Chika couldn't carry it all, thus making Tenko carry it for her. They took a bunch of those silvers and found many other things as well. Such as coins, gems, and a weird-looking stone. They didn't pay much attention to it and just put all the items into the backpack without appraising them.

They found no food, not even a single drop of water.

At this rate, fear of dehydration slowly starts coming to them, but that quickly fades away with Chika around always lighting up the atmosphere.
