I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic-Chapter 626 - 46

Ardent observed his fiance as Catlin slowly dealing with the goblin guards. While she is powerful, her inexperienced will be the shackles that prevent her from completing the floor on her own.

However, if she managed to break the shackles, than she would be able to defeat all the goblin guards residing in the dungeon.

’Can you do it, Catlin?’ Ardent asked in his head. He continued watching the blonde as she walked pass several ice sculptures. At least to the untrained eyes.

To him, and other Mages, they could sense the Mana emitting from the ’ice sculptures’, and could recognize they as what they truly were, frozen goblin guards.

’She did a good job.’ Ardent mused, watching as the frozen goblins shattered into thousand of pieces the moment she moved far enough.

Ardent followed her, watching as she stopped to recover her Mana.

’Good. Recover and try to not tire yourself out.’ such thinking is common sense, but ego and high in success can make even experienced warriors forget such common sense.

Of course, there is him, and others with huge Mana reserve in comparison to their Circle, who did not need to worry about expending their Mana too much.

Ardent patiently waited for Catlin to recover, her Mana Core slowly filling up with Mana once more.

Once she finished recovering her Mana to three quarters, Catlin looked at him before giving him a nod, indicating she finished her recovery for now.

’Trying to not fully recover your Mana at once can be dangerous.’ Ardent mulled in his head, ’However, Catlin is a 3rd Circle Mage so she should be fine. Plus, it show good judgement.’

While recovering is essential, time is also essential, as they still need to trek back through the forest to get to the village. If they only come out at night, it would be more dangerous to walk back.

And not because of threats like wild beasts, and brigands, but also smaller obstacles like rising root and rocks, leading to slip up and injuries.

So, finishing as fast as she could, yet clearing the dungeon in one go require a delicate balance, one which require good judgment.

’She should be able to handle all this on her own.’ Ardent thought, following his fiance, far enough to not make it him look like he was coddling him, but close enough to react should she fall into danger.

Ardent then watched as another Hail appeared, encompassing the area and forcing the goblin guards to slow down, which is a bad decision on their part.

As their bodies slowly encased with ice, Catlin kill them quickly and efficiently, targeting those who already frozen and letting those who did not to succumb to the ice first before dealing with them.

After finishing the group, Catlin collected their Mana Crystal, before checking herself. Once she was satisfied, the blonde continued her descent.

’She did not rest once she finished a group, and instead look at her Mana reserve before making her decision.’ a methodical method that will lead to higher efficiency in harvesting Mana Crystal in the dungeon. He approve.

"Catlin!" he decided to call out the blonde, "This time, try to change your method to deal with the goblins." he told her.

Catlin gave him a puzzled look, but nodded regardless. Ardent has his own reason for this. One of the advantage a higher Circle Mage possess is their versatility and Spells they can use.

For Catlin to make use of those advantage, she need to stop using her surefire method of dealing with the goblin guards, despite its effectiveness. After all, there are foes that can circumnavigate the effect of her Hail.

’Though, whether she will do it depends on her.’

It seem Ardent had look down, or underestimate Catlin, even though it’s unintentional. She took the challenge and complete it easily. Instead of using Hail, she use Ice Ground, freezing the ground and causing a slip and slide to occur.

When the goblin guards sprawled on the ground, unable to get up, she finished them off with a myriad of spells. From Icicle to Ice Ball, she kill them quickly before going to the next group.

This time, she changed her tactic and go for overwhelming firepower. Casting multiple Grade 1 Spells at the same time, the goblin guards could barely react before they were either impaled, crushed, or frozen.

Ardent watched the inefficient use of Mana with a slight frown.

’At least it can overwhelm the target.’ the technique should only be used in an ambush or to surprise her target, or so Ardent believed the most effective method on using it. Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

So far, she had created three methods on dealing with the goblin guards. While she can probably made more, Ardent don’t think she can make those methods more effective without sharpening her skill at the very least.

’Though, there should be no more groups.’ Ardent frowned, as she felt more group of goblin guards in the distance.

He sure he counted six groups when he walked through the 2nd floor on his own. So why are there 2 more groups after Catlin destroy all 6 groups.

Unless ...

’The dungeon has grown again,’ he grimly thought before looking back at Catlin. The blonde had already handle the amount of goblin guards he expected, asking her to deal with two more seem unfair.

’She can decide on her own.’ Ardent decided on telling his fiance on the sudden increase of monster groups. Letting her decided whether she should continue or return.

"Oh, so there are more monsters than before?" Catlin was surprised. She expected the number of monsters to increase, but she did not think it will jump to two more group in a short time.

’Elder Alfon said it will take a dungeon a long time to grow. In fact, he said that getting to 2nd floor require 3 months, the fastest.’

At this point, Catlin believed the dungeon near the village should be abnormal compared to others. Or at least, Elder Alfon’s knowledge is not deep enough or he is mislead by information he could have access to during his travel.

While fighting more monsters than expected is slightly daunting, Catlin believe she can do it.

"Well, I should be ready to deal with them now."
