1.99 Lucky Player

Haru became thoughtful, and Mio noticed and asked what had happened. She knew that he had reached the third stage, but she did not know what he had actually done there. Many people simply stayed there doing nothing, but she knew Haru, she knew that he was hiding something, but she avoided asking, since it was better to have him as an ally than as someone who was suspicious of her.

She was caressing her breasts while drinking coffee, Haru was not looking, and this made her certain that he was hiding something.

"Let’s go to the tenth floor and do what my father asked, but I’m not motivated to do this, it’s tedious to just sit around while something kills all the monsters for you."

"I agree, but at the same time, that’s what I do, I just provide support and rarely attack. Before joining the team, I was more active," Hina said.

"That’s right, I remember, you two were the ones who killed the most slimes, you killed some goblins, but Haru only killed slimes. One question, how did you kill them, and why did you stay in the dungeon even without a combat class?"

"I’m from the City of Winds, there aren’t many dungeons there, and the university there is terrible. I wanted to come here because of the university, and to stay here I started entering the dungeon. But I wasn’t very successful, since I almost got evicted because I couldn’t pay the rent."

"My father made me enter a dungeon when I was twelve years old. I liked killing slimes, but I was never able to go to deeper floors. At some point, my parents kicked me out of the house, and the way for me to survive was to work as an adventurer."

Mio did not know what to say. She felt awkward because of his story and the carefree way he told it.

"Why did they kick you out?"

"My father said that I was too weak and that I could come back if I obtained a combat class that made me strong. That was two years ago, and today he probably doesn’t know what my current class is."

Hina felt sorry for him. She hugged him and forced his face against her breasts. He was almost suffocating, but he did not want to get away. She let him go, and he started breathing again. Mio also felt sorry for him, but hugging someone and being affectionate was not really her way, so she only gave him a light slap on the back.

He felt embarrassed by the situation.

They proceeded to the ninth floor, walked calmly, and found the gate to the tenth floor. Haru was attentive, much more than usual. Mio was gripping the daggers very tightly, her body glistening with a little sweat and with the lighting of the dungeon. Hina was wearing that bodysuit that showed part of her pussy. The three of them were prepared for combat, but no monster came toward them. The monsters were indifferent, none of them attacked.

"What was that?" Mio asked.

"Someone came here before. I remember someone talking about this support ability. When used, the ability makes the monsters docile for a few minutes. Even if we attack them, the monsters won’t retaliate."

Mio attacked a crystal slime. A single blow made her defeat the monster. Haru shot a white bat. The monster did not die. The monster attacked him using a sonar attack, and Haru fell to the ground.

"They won’t retaliate?" Haru shouted.

"I said I had heard about the ability, not that I was an expert. So it could be from another ability, or I could have been given the wrong information."

Haru stood up and shot three more times. He managed to kill the bat.

The other bats did not retaliate, but bats that spawned afterward began attacking Haru.

"The ability’s effect doesn’t affect new spawns. That’s interesting," Hina said.

"Will you be able to obtain an ability like that?"

"No, my ability is healing magic. Something like that belongs to another support class. If I’m not mistaken, they are druids or a similar class."

"Elves should be able to use an ability like that. I once had one on my team, and he did something that made some goblins stand still. It helped a lot when I was starting out."

"Elves are rarer classes, and many of them don’t share everything they know. They prefer to find variations of elf classes to form teams, which is why they are considered the worst classes to have as team members. Their egos are too big."

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen an elf. Do they have a different appearance, or are they just normal humans who are arrogant?"

"The second option, although I once saw a druid who was different, but he was just someone who liked to dress up."

"I think now is the best time. Let’s stay calmer. I’m going to activate the first item. For now, don’t use the instant death ability yet. Let’s wait a few minutes and try to deal with the boss event. Then I’ll activate the crystal, and we’ll see how we react, and then you activate the ability when I tell you."

Mio was nervous. Her hands trembled as she took the pendant out of her inventory. She looked at the item and, after a few seconds, closed both eyes. Then, the pendant began to glow. Some giant slimes appeared. The three slimes stood still. Then three bats appeared. The monsters stood beside the slimes. All six bosses were standing still. Two hordes formed, many slimes and many bats stood still, none of them attacking.

When the monsters stopped glowing, Mio shouted for them to attack.

The same strategy from the new floor was used. Mio was responsible for the crystal slimes, Haru took the white bats, and Hina provided support. The first ability reduced the number of shots needed to kill the white bats by one.

Mio used the ring’s ability and collected all the drops. Haru had plenty of ammunition, and he did not use any crystals.

Hina was between the two of them, attentive to both of their movements. But some slimes escaped Mio. Hina took a sword from her inventory and began attacking the slimes, more than ten strikes to kill a slime. It was a lot of effort considering that the sword she was using increased damage by 20%.

"I’m going to activate the other item," Mio shouted.
