Delayed Transfer

Thank you so much for my first patron.  The support me the gave the confidence that I can achieve my goals.  Again thank you.

Mark identified all the loot from the last group and unfortunately, they were just a combination of green and white items. Even the loot from the orc was not new, just a skill point. He again replaced his equipped items with their better counterpart and destroyed the rest. He did manage to get some crafting materials. He planned to tally all the skill and stat points that he would earn later once he completed the dungeon.

The next group that he encountered was a bit bigger than normal and they had three elite monster. There were three orcs. One of them was an elite Orc Shaman when Identified, two were regular hobgoblins and one elite Goblin Spearman, one huge ass elite Dire Wolf and three of its minions. Mark immediately summoned his defensive team, the cute golems and their big brothers, refreshed his Sunflower and then cast Glacial Void and Void Storm.

The Orc Shaman was able to cast lightning which was intercepted by a tree golem. The elite Dire Wolf was very fast but it was slowed down severely by Glacial Void and Field of Briar. Mark repeatedly cast Glacial Void, Void Storm, and he specially targeted the elites with Lightning Void. He cast Floating Sunflower and Bed of Daisies for MP regeneration. Even though the MP regeneration did not stack with repeated casting of the same resource providing spell, which just refreshed the duration, it did stack with different spells. So both spells, Floating Sunflower and Bed of Daisies, provided double MP regeneration making him able to cast spells continuously. He did have to wait several seconds if the MP depleted quickly but it was fast enough. It emphasized though his need for more of the Wisdom stat.

Mark were able to kill all of the enemies with ease but he was quite sure that it would not be always like this. Based on the quick glimpse that he did on the Notification Window, the experience that he was getting was decreasing and more than likely, the quantity of the loot would decrease as well but would increase in quality. Once all the loot appeared, he identified them immediately and replaced his current gear with the better stats. There was one special item though from the orc shaman which was a magic blue item and when he identified it, it said that it was a magic rod with plus two to Intelligence, plus one to Fire Ball, twenty to twenty five damage and thirty durability. He equipped the rod and check if he could cast the spell Fire Ball but he was not able to. Mark guessed that it would just add a single point to Fire Ball if he had it. His first blue item was a dud. He immediately had the urge to destroy it but decided to keep it and just replace it once something better drops.

Mark floated for a while and decided to stop and have a meal since he was getting hungry. He sat on the small chair and table that he specifically stored for camping then summoned the two bush golems. He set up his phone on a tripod filming the golems and instructed them to dance. While he was eating a pizza, he saw that the golems were just swaying so he decided to get his laptop from his Inventory and look for the simple dance video on his storage library that he downloaded earlier before the system happened, so he can use it for exercise which he did not do, that the golems could follow. He then set up the laptop facing the golems and instructed them to follow the simple dance move while filming everything. The golems actually tried their best to follow the dance move while Mark kept smiling through the whole thing. He was quite sure that if the golems could talk, they would probably say that he was torturing them. Mark laughed at the thought. Once he was done eating, he stored everything on his Inventory and dismissed the golems.

Mark continued clearing the Fifth Floor and due to the large forest area, it actually took him several hours before he finished. The only new enemies that he encountered, were different varieties of orc and their elite counterpart. He had not encountered any problems since his golems were able to tank well and for those especially difficult long range enemies, his Space Wall, Space Shield and Bark Skin were able to keep him from any damage. It was actually around nine in the evening when he completed the dungeon.

It was very dark but fortunately his Mage Light had sufficient light intensity that allowed him to view the whole combat area without any issues. He was not able to cast multiple mage light though which would have been much more helpful but more than likely, if he decided to waste skill points and levelled it up, he would be able to cast multiple mage lights. Mark did not do it because he knew that the Rune Engineer section would probably allow him to use runes to craft something similar.

Mark were able to replace all of his items with blue graded ones. His new items were the following : a mage hat that gave two to Wisdom, five MP per kill, twenty defense, five percent faster cast rate and twenty five durability. A mage robe that gave two to Intelligence, two to Wisdom, active mage shield with ten defense, thirty defense and thirty durability. Leather pants that gave two to Dexterity, plus one to Agility, thirty defense and thirty durability. Leather shoes that gave plus two to Agility, plus ten faster walk slash run, twenty five defense and twenty durability. Leather Bracer that gave plus two to Strength and plus one to Agility with thirty defense and twenty durability. And lastly, a new Magic Staff that gave three to Intelligence, two to Wisdom, plus ten to spell casting range, twenty damage and thirty durability. He also did not forget to assign them to Auto Equip.
