Chapter 16: Weirdness
Terry also wanted to make the wands reach level five, but that was just a secondary target... still, making them reach as soon as possible might give them more hunting speed.
To help with that, Terry decided to use the spear more often since he also wanted to check the next skill it would obtain. By using Throw, that shouldn\'t be a problem.
Terry\'s guess was right. That helped. Around noon, they had walked for around ten kilometers, which was more than seventy percent of the distance they had covered in the previous day. The wands also reached level five, and now they could grant the user 20 charges of Fire Arrow and Ice arrows. However, something else also happened.
Long Spear - Lv Max (00/00 EXP) (Common)
Attack Power: 42
Defense: 21
Durability: 32/42
(Critical: increases the chances of causing critical damage when hitting the enemy.)
(Spear Mastery: increases your attack power by ten percent.)
(Throw: it grants you the ability to throw the spear with great precision and power. Hitting any target within twenty meters and causing damage equal to the usual physical damage plus fifty percent.)
(Final Skill: Deadly Jump.
Deadly Jump: A skill that lets the user jump in the air and approach the enemy, and hit with a powerful strike that will cause 300% more damage than an ordinary strike.
Cool down: 05 seconds.)
"Level max? So my trait has a level limit for weapons?" Terry rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Now that Terry thought about it, his trait would be stupid if the weapons could level up endlessly. In just a few days, he made one reach level twenty and become more than twenty times stronger, after all.
"It must be the rarity level... since it is common, the weapon can\'t be enhanced further," Terry assumed. "I need more rare weapons to reach higher heights."
"What is wrong?" Rebecca asked.
"Nothing... you should use these two now," Terry said, passing the magic wands. "They have the same effects as the other and the same number of charges, and this should save us from using magic stones for a while."
"You bought these for a cheap price... did they have that kind of ability before?" Rebecca asked and then noticed that learning too much could become a problem. "No... forget about it."
One didn\'t have to be a genius after watching Terry for so long to understand that he could enhance weapons. How and for long, those were the real questions. Once people understand that they stay like that forever and gain skills and effects, then a shit ton of people will want him in their guild or to buy his weapons.
"I suppose I should make a stock of low-level weapons..." Terry thought. "Just them reaching level five should be enough."
While Terry was thinking about that, he and Rebecca worked and hunted through the whole day and walked for around twenty kilometers, and they didn\'t find any camp once again. No signs of the end of the forest either.
"Yep, this dungeon is way different than the others," Terry said. "We will have to run toward the portal in order to leave before sunset."
"I am fine; I feel strangely powerful with those knives. Running for one or two won\'t be a problem," Rebecca said. "Putting that aside, maybe we should investigate things as well at night."
"I suppose... but would the giants or their territory change in any way?" Terry asked. "I am sure that the others have thought of this as well."
"I doubt that we can confirm or not this by asking the other guilds, so we can only rely on each other," Rebecca said.
When they left the dungeon, they obtained 40k, and Terry could already tell that some people nearby were paying attention to them. It was no surprise, they made a lot of money, and they were unscathed despite their numbers. The attention wasn\'t bad since it would be used to spread the name of the guild....but he needed to get some results to really attract possible members.
While he was resting in his room, he had an idea, and he put it into practice the next day when they entered the dungeon. Before anything, he climbed the highest tree that he could find and then looked around. However, he only saw an immense jungle around... no signs of mountains or anything that the giants could use as a hideout.
"Since there is nothing above..." Terry thought. "It is time to look below."
"Do you think those big creatures would live underground?" Rebecca asked.
"Did you notice anything weird with their skin?" Terry asked.
"... They don\'t have much of a tan considering the weather in this forest; I assumed that it was because of the trees protecting them from the sunlight," Rebecca replied after thinking for a short while.
"We focused on letting them find us. Now let\'s focus on finding them," Terry declared. "Keep your eyes open and follow any trail that we find... it should be faster if we follow the first group."
