Chapter 045: Level 2 Dungeon (I)

I wonder how long it will take for my second companion to awaken.

Just as Chrono recalled that Fei said that the timing for each companion to awaken varies, the card appeared on the back of his right hand and shattered. Countless squiggly lines started to slither around the skull and an ouroboros circled the evil looking skull.

In mid-air, a cute little snake with angelic looking wings appeared and started to fly around Chrono’s head.

Name: Yuki

Level: 0 (Exp to next level: 1,000)

Skills: Viscous Goo I

“Oh my gosh! So cute!” Chrono blurted out when he saw the snowy white snake appear before him.

However, the moment the word “cute’ was mentioned, Yuki hissed out loud, opened her cute little jaw and attacked Chrono. Ducking the enraged little snake, they started to play a game of tag while Abaddon just stared at them unmovingly.

Looks like Yuki is a good fit for Abaddon. Considering that she can slow down enemies and increase the amount of damage that Abaddon inflicts on the enemy.

Reaching the end of the flight of stairs, started his exploration of this new dungeon. A HP (Vitality) and MP (Mana) bar floated above both Abaddon and Yuki and the first monster they encountered were sewer rats.

Venom bite was activated every now and then and they were also stackable causing Abaddon to lose a huge chunk of health when they were attacked by a group of mutated sewer rats. However, [HP potion] which heals 100 vitality could be obtained from the mutated sewer rats at a 50% drop rate. By the time Chrono cleared the second floor, Yuki had reached level 2 with 500 exp left to level 3.

The low level monsters were no threat to Abaddon and within an hour, Chrono cleared all the way to the 5th floor. Till this point in time, Yuki still haven’t done a single thing other than being coiled up on Chrono’s head as she cheered Abaddon on.

On the 5th floor, there was a portal beside the staircase leading to the 6th floor. As he was not sure whether he would be able to re-enter the dungeon after exiting, Chrono decided not to risk it and he descended down the stairs instead. What greeted him was a stall in the middle of a rectangular room. Walking up to the stall, he saw a robot manning the stall.

“Welcome to the dungeon store. What would you like to purchase?” The robot say in a robotic voice.

The phalanx stood unmovingly as spears pointed at Abaddon threatingly and they used the skill when they saw Abaddon running at them. This time, Yuki played her part and used on elite soldier goblin phalanx causing their speed to slow down suddenly. Abaddon side stepped the charge and evaded it at the last moment as they rushed pass him. With their backs exposed, Abaddon punched twice, causing two elite soldier goblin in the phalanx to die. Shortly after, elite soldier goblin phalanx was killed.
