Five days had passed and the group managed to clear out the low and mid-level dungeons. His guess was correct. They already cleared out the dungeons in five days.
He knew that there were still dungeons around the Eternal Empire. They only cleared all the dungeons that Souta knew. Souta couldn't remember every dungeon in this place as he didn't have an eidetic memory.
If he could only remember everything then it would be great. Just like the other universal or dark grade equipment of other top players like him. He could remember the ability and name of those equipments but he couldn't recall where they found those high-grade equipments.
If he could only remember where they got it then it would be great. He could give those equipments to his comrades.
He also brought the things that he burrowed five days ago. He didn't manage to bring it back because the Goblin Executioner got in his way. It wasn't that he was displeased at that encounter. In fact, Souta was grateful as he earned a lot in Raeshka's home. The most promising thing was that Yuko received a monster lord's blessing.
Lumilia and the rest ate the mana fruits and absorbed its effect. Their body grew stronger as Alophy helped them picked the mana fruits that were suitable for them. For Brando, Alophy helped him find fruits that could enhance his defense and vitality. She had a lot of knowledge about mana fruits so they trusted her.
But Souta still didn't know how much their strength has improved. He was asleep for two weeks and he heard from Lumilia that they were training to become stronger while he was out. He was alone in clearing dungeons so he didn't have a time to check the progress of their strength.
Souta didn't know that Bryan's strength already surpassed the top 1 ranker of the first-year students. The others were catching up to him but if they wanted to ask Souta about who's the strongest person in the Dark Oculus. He would answer everyone that Yujin was the strongest.
He clearly remembered that Yujin utilized Alophy's power quite well in the battle in Ibish village. Based on his aura and energy at that time, he could rival a B-rank adventurer. The only problem was that Yujin wouldn't necessarily reveal his power to the public unless it was an emergency situation just like what happened in the Ibish village.
About the loots that they've got in clearing low and mid-level dungeons? It was enormous. The amount of things that they've gathered couldn't store in one room. So Souta decided to sell some of it to the merchants around the Eternal Empire. It was then that he recalled that Jimmy was planning to set up a branch here in this empire so he called him using the transmission talisman.
They've got an agreement that they will give it to the Lanny group and Souta would get the money from Jimmy after he returned to the Ladros city. The Lanny group will stay here in the empire and will not return with Souta. They will wait for the people of Lanny corp to arrived here so that they could help out in setting up a branch.
They also have to guard the loots that they've gathered and the one that Souta gave to them.
Souta didn't talk about his plan in expanding his party into a legion to Jimmy. He will only talk about it after he promoted his adventurer rank to B-rank. He was sure that the Lanny corp would become his sponsor as he was their employee in papers. He had that to make sure that the Lanny corp would become his sponsor not only Jimmy but the entire Lanny corp.
In these five days, Souta earned managed to fill the soul in the [Soul Blood Earring]. He used it to increase his Intelligence attribute. He also earned a lot of skill points, free attribute points, and exp.
From their constant grinding, Souta managed to level up to level 33. Clearing dungeons, completing the quest from the Adventurers Guild, and hunting monsters. By repeating this for five days Souta leveled up to 33.
He was getting closer to his third evolution. He only needed five levels as he had two level-up cards in his arsenal. He didn't have any problem as he and Yuko already have the requirements for their third evolution.
He did another to strengthen Yuko in the past few days. He used his skill points to level up the [Pet Bestowing Skill] to level 10.
Tamer class was one of the classes in the game that needed a lot of skill points. A lot of players hate this class because of they didn't grind skill points they wouldn't be able to grow stronger. One of the reasons why the tamer needed a lot of skill points was the [Pet Bestowing Skill].
[Pet Bestowing Skill] was a skill that could give the pet the skill of the owner. As they know, the pet couldn't use the system so they couldn't buy skills from the skill tree. There's also no command that the pet will learn skills from skill books. The only things they had were the traits and trait skills they got from their evolution.
But using this [Pet Bestowing Skill], Souta could give his skill to Yuko. At low level, Souta's skill would disappear if he gave it to Yuko but if the skill was at level 10 Souta wouldn't lose anything but skill points.
His skill set was like a shop for Yuko. He could have his skill at the cost of skill points just like how he bought his skills from the skill tree in the system. If he gave his level 4 [Dash] to Yuko, it would cost him 4 skill points. He could also give her 1 or 2 levels of [Dash] but it couldn't exceed level 4 as this was the maximum level he attained in this skill.
Yuko received [Dash], [Cat's Speed], [Triple Muscle Strengthening], and [Shadow Cloak] from Souta. He only gave her two levels of each skill. If he raised those skills that he gave her then he wouldn't have a skill point for his spell and skill.
By receiving four combat arts from Souta, Yuko's strength rose to a higher level. He was sure that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her if she used her blessing with these skills.
She was slowly becoming a monster that was stronger than him and Souta would make it sure that she would become one of the strongest monsters in the future.
Back to him, using skill points Souta level up the [Shadow Cloak] skill to level 3. He finally realized that he was lacking in terms of defense when he fought Yuko. She easily shattered his [Shadow Cloak] and injured him in one hit.
What if he fought someone as strong as her and have more experienced in combat? There's no doubt that he would fell instantly.
That's why he level up his [Shadow Cloak] skill. He also bought [Shadow Step] a movement skill and [Dark Cloud Hunting] spell. He also level up these two skills to level 3.
[Dark Cloud Hunting] was a high-grade tier 2 crowd control and buff spell. This spell created a black mist with fifty meters diameter around the caster. The black mist lowered the opponent's senses, magical damage, physical attack, and movement speed by ten percent at level 1. It also enhances the caster's darkness attribute spell by ten percent.
If he level it up the debuff that the enemy received will increase, the buff that the caster received will increase, and also the range of the black mist will increase.
It was a spell good for his [Shadow Bind] spell. The tentacles would be able to bind his opponents easier with the debuff coming from this tier 2 spell.
After doing all these things, Souta stopped using his skill points. He would use the remaining skill points later in the Ladros city. He still didn't know what's the test for becoming a B-rank in that branch.
The promotion exams of Adventurers Guild were different for each branch. Each guild has its own exam but the essence of it was still the same. For B-rank, Souta just needed to prove to them that he had the power of a B-rank. If he wanted to become an A-rank, he just needed to prove to the guild that he had the power of an A-rank.
...
Souta, the Dark Oculus members, and the Lanny group were all in a single room. They were having a meeting about the dungeon that they were going to clear.
They completed their goals by clearing low and mid-level dungeons for five days straight. Right now, their target was the high-level dungeon where the [Soul Blood Earring] resides.
The Dark Light of Eternal Dungeon was an orange danger level dungeon. It means that 3 to 5 third evolution monsters reside in that dungeon. Their chances of clearing this level of dungeon was too low.
"Everyone, listen up. I'll tell you my plan." Souta said as he grinned widely.
