38 Dungeon Strategy (2/2)
”True,” Renae muttered, ”but still its risky.” She still had mixed feelings after the last time Hana revealed she went in dungeons alone. She widened her eyes. ”And you didn't tell me when you learned to use the powers of your summons!”
Hana gave her a blank look.
”It is rare for summoners to reach a level where they can temporarily share abilities with their summons.” Song Qi noted. ”Even though some rare skill books delineate the process, it still requires a strong bond and talent.”
Hana frowned. She didn't want to reveal that she had a system. Frankly, she doubt people would understand even if she did. She had miscalculated the portrayal of her abilities. Sigh, espionage was not her strong fort.
”I never said I was limited to summoning Poke — ah creatures,” Hana clarified after some thought. ”I summon things from fantasy, er . . . dreams. The stronger I recall my dreams, the more likely I can summon them. The concept is difficult to put into words.” She inwardly cringed at her explanation.
However the two seemed to accept her explanation. ”Well, many people have strange abilities,” Renae waved her hands, ”It's no surprise, people tend to safeguard the specifics of how their abilities work anyway.” Song Qi nodded in agreement.
”Anyway, we'll just say you can use fire and summon creatures,” Renae said. She grinned. ”My ability is water control. Wherever there is water, I can manipulate it. It's easier when I have a large body of water to work with.”
Song Qi nodded. ”I am the healer then. I use light to mitigate the natural healing process. However, I am limited by the severity of wounds. Frankly, healing is a complex process that still cannot be fully explained. However, my results can speak for themselves.”
The three fell into silence as they assessed each other. Hana was never a fan of working with others, but she was kind of interested in teams in this world. The so-called strategies seemed similar to games from her past life.
Now that she thought of it, she felt like she had dropped into a world like SAO. Wasn't she basically playing a full dive VR lifestyle?
”Well, let's go then,” Hana said.
”Wait, what about your supplies?” Renae asked. She eyed Song Qi's full backpack, then Hana's seemingly light one.
”Oh, I'll be fine with this.” Hana had several high protein bars in her bag. She never carried much out of habit. When she was on missions in her past life, she survived on the minimum amount of food required for the human body to function. Besides, the backpack could carry more things from the dungeon this way.
Renae frowned. ”I'll get you a storage tool someday.” She raised the bracelet around her wrists. ”We can share then. I always overpack for emergencies.”
Storage tool? Hana raised her eyebrows. Now, that actually sounded useful. Unfortunately her system didn't have a storage space like those in the novels she use to read. But since she could get the actual thing normally, that was great.
Hana led the way to the dungeon. Void Lake. There was not much information about this dungeon, other than the name. The three glanced at each other before entering.
