My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 197 - 45: I Won’t Let You Go Because It’s for Your Own Good (Part 3)
Although Elise tried to overturn this decision, so far, there remains no possibility of success.
As for the third point, it’s the only point that hasn’t reached a conclusion.
That is the action plan after arriving at Dark Furnace City.
Raine prefers to infiltrate Dark Furnace City alone.
But the other team members believe that even though Raine is strong, two heads are better than one, hence they suggested that Sulfur Vine and Laisa accompany Raine in the infiltration.
Specifically, the reason is that Sulfur Vine, as a Tiefling, naturally possesses the Dark Vision racial ability and she can transform into a Shadow Leopard, which offers excellent stealth.
As for Laisa, as an assassin, she is also a master of stealth.
To this, Raine’s opinion is to temporarily shelve the decision.
He plans to discuss it further upon understanding the specific situation after arriving at Dark Furnace City.
Actually, for Raine, who already possesses the signature ability ’Transformation’ of a Shapeshifter, infiltrating Dark Furnace City alone is undoubtedly the best choice.
Unlike the cautious infiltration by Sulfur Vine and Laisa, Raine can transform into a Gray Dwarf and swagger in directly through the front gate.
Moreover, he can effortlessly survey the internal situation of Dark Furnace City, such as terrain and defense forces, supplementing the somewhat simple data from the association.
As these are difficult for even Sulfur Vine and Laisa to achieve using a Disguise Spell scroll.
The casual handshakes among Gray Dwarves would easily expose the illusions of the Disguise Spell, whereas Raine need not worry about this at all.
The problem is, this reason is inconvenient to reveal.
Additionally, the other team members think the main purpose of this journey to Dark Furnace City is to steal the ’Forbidden Magic Helmet’.
But only Raine knows his primary goal this time is first to acquire ’Advanced Spiritual Resistance’ and secondly the ’Forbidden Magic Helmet’.
In fact, if he can acquire ’Advanced Spiritual Resistance’, it would be acceptable to abandon the second goal if conditions don’t permit.
Yet this aspect, linked to the Golden Finger, cannot be disclosed either.
....
"Not far ahead should be the area marked on the map where Armor Crawler Monsters appear."
"Everyone should remain vigilant."
Even though both Benest and Raine are highly confident in defeating the Armor Crawler Monster, this does not mean the monster’s attack is without threat.
This is because the monster may not choose either of them as the primary target for attack.
If it chooses someone else, that represents a considerable threat!
As an expert in lurking and hunting, the Armor Crawler Monster can remain hidden in one place for a long time before striking, similar to a crab with claws but more patient.
The Armor Crawler Monster, over four meters and nearing five meters in length, has a shell comparable to the plate armor of a Warrior, with a pair of giant pincers equivalent to washbasin size serving as the primary physical attack parts.
If one thinks this is all there is to the Armor Crawler Monster, that would be gravely mistaken.
The monster’s head covered with octopus tentacles can spray a black poisonous liquid similar to an octopus’s, which corrodes the skin upon contact and further penetrates in.
These two points had been repeatedly reminded by Benest along the journey.
Half an hour later.
Elise blinked and glanced around at the still tranquil and dark Dark River Underground Space, then asked Sulfur Vine beside her in a low voice.
"We should have left the Armor Crawler Monster’s area, right?"
Just moments ago, her palms were sweaty from nervousness.
After all, these enemies lurking underwater or in mud that might attack suddenly are far more unexpected than those demons that charge openly.
"We should have, more or less." Sulfur Vine sensed, then nodded.
"It’s a pity we didn’t encounter any."
At the end of the team, Benest also remarked with slight regret.
In fact, Raine was inclined to encounter and slay the Armor Crawler Monster.
Because then tomorrow, when Elise and Benest return, they would at least be safer.
"Miss Sulfur Vine, how did you become a Druid?"
Having heard they had left the Armor Crawler Monster’s area, Elise breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reverted to her naturally chatty self.
Moreover, her petite figure and sweet smile made her very likable, and in these two days, she had become quite friendly with the relatively introverted Druid Maiden Sulfur Vine.
"It seems to be rare for Tieflings to become Druids, right?"
Saying this, Elise touched the small horn mostly hidden in Sulfur Vine’s hair.
"Ah! Don’t touch~"
