Chapter 99: F Ranked Rat Dungeon Test
Patrick, Patricia, Jordan and Keni frowned when they saw Amon stop in front of an F ranked dungeon. Then they glanced at Aron and Letty before they looked at each other.
The four of them sighed together, making Amon turn around to look at them.
He raised his eyebrows and a moment later, he chuckled.
"If you're thinking that I'll be wasting your time by getting you to help my brother level up, you're wrong. This is a test for Jordan and… something else for my brother. I also wish to see if there's a way I can improve too and the same goes for Nyx and Mikey. This is a test for all of us and that included myself." he said.
Patrick let out a sigh of relief before he nodded, "I see… that's good."
"Yeah. Anyways, I talked to Alicia before I called for you guys. I convinced her to stay for a few months so she'll still be monitoring your dungeon runs. I'll occasionally take you guys with me and help you improve but it's mostly for Jordan. I don't really know how to help you three, not when you're at the level of top rankers with same classes. At least in terms of skill. Anyways, come in."
The first to enter, were Nyx and Mikayla.
Then, before anyone else could react, Jordan rushed in. Letty went next and then, the twins and Kenji followed, leaving Aron behind.
'He'll beat me up if I don't go… he won't make me suffer in front of everyone else right?' he thought as he slowly walked forward, trying to convince himself.
Soon, even he walked in.
"Okay, everyone's inside." Amon said as he looked at everyone before his gaze landed on Aron, "Ten seconds late."
"Broth-"
"Professor Amon." Amon cut him off with a serious expression on his face, "Do you still not have a wand? Even when I told you to buy it?"
Aron frowned but no matter how angry and frustrated he felt with his brother's actions, he couldn't help but shake his head like a meek puppy.
"And you walked into a dungeon without a weapon. Good strategy." Amon said before he turned to look at Letty.
"What about you?"
Letty immediately straightened her back as she took out a wand that was one foot long.
"Standard Academy Issue wand…" she said before adding, "Professor."
"I… do not have any skills and this wand doesn't come with it's own skill either so I will not be of any use in this dungeon. I apologise." she said as she stared straight at the ground.
Amon looked at the two of them for a few moments before shaking his head, "Atleast you got a wand… You two won't be participating in this run and you will not be getting any experience either. Stay back, observe and learn."
He then walked forward, "Everyone follow me. Nyx, get ready. You'll be fighting the monster yourself."
Nyx nodded and immediately used her camouflage skill which helped her blend into the surroundings.
Soon, they came across the monster of this dungeon. A really fat rat.
"Kill it." he said as he turned to look at Nyx whom he had sensed with his mana weave skill.
She casually walked towards the rat, lifted up her dagger high and drove it straight into the rat's head.
A critical hit.
A one hit kill.
"That's an assassin for you…" Amon muttered before he looked at Mikayla, "You're next."
"Okay pro. fess. or~"
Amon couldn't stop himself from smiling at her antics so he looked away and shook his head, "Stop playing. I told you that you can just call me what you always do."
"You mean… daddy?"
'This girl…' he thought as he took a deep breath and looked at her while Patricia was in her own little world as she giggled uncontrollably.
Rubbing his forehead, he said softly, "Please focus… if you do well, I'll give you a nice gift tonight before we sleep."
Mikayla smirked instantly while Amon nodded, "Yes, the same exact thing you're thinking about so stop playing."
"Okay~" she said cheerfully before she walked forward.
Everyone else followed her until they reached the next monster, a similar looking fat rat.
'Dagger rain.' she thought as she used the ring of impala and imagined holding a dagger in her hand.
She threw out this non-existent dagger which appeared right in front of her and it wasn't just one.With her agility stat slightly over a hundred, she managed to conjure 10 of them at the same time.
They hovered in front of her for a fraction of a second before they flew towards the fat rat, doubling in numbers midflight.
Twenty daggers hit the rat in a quick succession, quickly building up the bleed stacks to 10.
The rat screeched and ran towards Mikayla, only to get stabbed 10 times by daggers that disappeared soon after, leaving behind red cuts on its skin.
Mikayla easily kept up the stacks at 10, kiting the rat until it bled to death.
"Twenty three seconds." Amon muttered and nodded, "Good, fall back now. Jordan, you're next."
As they moved to the next monster, Amon glanced at Mikayla and couldn't help but feel a slight fear.
Bleed damage was slightly lower in rankings compared to true damage as it ignored all defenses too. It's only problem was that it could be countered with potions and skills that remove debuffs.
Bleed was a debuff and not a damage type. It just happened to deal damage.
'She'd need around twenty seconds to kill even the tankiest person on earth. Since I don't really have any immunity to bleed, I'm basically fucked in that time too. Kinda scary…. if I didn't have damage reflection.' he mused as he watched Jordan move towards his rat.
Once he was in distance, he rushed forward and fought it cautiously which was opposite to his original fighting style. He dodged, counter attacked and kicked the rat away if it got too close.
Getting bitten a few times didn't really phase him as he kept going until he got the rat down.
Amon nodded as he saw the rat turn into dust, "Good job. I'm glad that you're focusing on improving yourself instead of trying to compete with your imperfect style."
