Chapter 192: Start of Training

    Derek jumped up into the air with Void Steps so he could access the dungeon orb. When he got close enough, he placed his hand on it.

    Dungeon Complete

    Assigning Rewards

    Congratulations, you have received Major Health Potion.

    Derek let out a sigh. Well I guess that was to be expected. Shae said that the rewards were pretty shit. Still, there are a few potions that could come in clutch if I were to get them. Derek shrugged and stored the red vial in his storage bracelet.

    Next, before leaving the dungeon, he put a shirt on and wore his low level leather armor. He also pulled his facemask out of his put it on. That way, if someone was waiting outside the dungeon, he wouldnt stick out like a sore thumb. He couldnt imagine what reaction someone would have if they saw a half naked man pop out of a dungeon orb.

    With a game plan in mind, Derek selected Leave Dungeon from the dungeon interface, initiating a countdown. Soon, the countdown hit zero and he disappeared.

    In the next instant, he was back outside. He scanned his surroundings he was still alone. Without hesitation, he touched the dungeon orb again.

    Participants: 1/5

    Derek Hunt: Level 122

    Please Choose an Option Below

    View Dungeon

    Enter Dungeon

    Leave Dungeon

    In one dungeon run Derek leveled 20 times, from 102 to 122. Of course, he figured the next run wouldnt net him more than 7-12 levels because of the experience penalty he would get from already having completed the dungeon. By the time he was level 150, he most likely wouldnt even get a level per run. Hopefully, the dungeon could last a few dozen runs and allow him to level up his Award.

    Derek chose to enter the dungeon. He vanished, then reappeared in the first area safe zone. The area with the Water Golems. Also, the area he planned to spend a ton of time in. This area was the perfect place to level his Magic Resistance, Greater Meditation, Void Steps, Rejuvenation, Absolute Nullify, and Void Sense.

    The golems in the area were only level 155. While they hit hard, it was something he was sure his current body could withstand easy enough if he was careful.

    Derek removed his armor and shirt, even opting to store his jeans and replace them with a pair of shorts before opening the door and walking out. Instantly, he recognized all ten golems scattered around the area. For his training plan, he would begin with two golems.

    Phew Derek sighed. After all that, Absolute Nullify only leveled twice. Its still leveling faster than Greater Meditation, but at this rate, its going to slow down drastically towards the later levels. Still, Absolute Nullify was a great skill he planned to keep focusing on.

    Derek dismissed the notification and moved on to the next.

    Congratulations

    Greater Meditation has reached level 7

    Derek smiled. Getting a level in Greater Meditation already was more than he imagined he would. But, seeing how long he used it while constantly being under attack, it made sense. He moved to the next notification.

    Congratulations

    Magic Resistance has reached level 14

    Magic Resistance finally passed his Physical Resistance. It was the main skill he wished to level in the Water Golem area. Towards the end of the fight, the Water Golems werent causing as much damage as they were previously, Derek wondered if it was because of their depleting mana cores, or if it was because of the two new levels he gained. He shrugged he would find out next round.

    Currently, he wanted to know if there was a special skill he would get when Magic Resistance hit level 20. Unfortunately, he still had a long way to go before he got his answer. He moved on.

    Congratulations

    Multi-Strike has reached level 4

    He was happy to see that. Multi-Strike would most probably level up slower than the other skills he wished to level well slower than everything other than Greater Meditation. He could only properly use the skill 10 times per area. I guess I could use it on the limbs of the golems instead of the cores. He shrugged. Ill worry about that once Im finished with everything else He dismissed the notification.

    Unfortunately, Rejuvenation didnt level even though he used it multiple times. I bet it levels faster based on how bad the wounds are that its healing. He remembered how fast it leveled when he had the acid from the Acidic Ghoul eating away at his chest. Anyway, he wasnt worried about the skill.

    Next, he was happy to see that Void Sense had leveled.

    Congratulations

    Void Sense has reached level 7

    It seems that everything really does level much faster when youre in battle. Derek had gone around with his Void Sense turned all the way up for a while, but it leveled during his four hour long fight with the Water Golems.

    Finally, he expected to see Void Steps gaining a level, but it didnt. He traded using Void Steps constantly for using Absolute Nullify. He would work on his Void Steps in one of the next dungeons.

    Derek had used over half a day so far, and he planned to keep it up for two weeks. He promised to be back in time for the auction, so he needed to push on. He wouldnt rest until the two weeks were up. Derek dismissed the last notification and placed his hand on the dungeon orb.
