All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins

Chapter 174 Looking For A Mount

?

"A bronze token? How can I improve this?" Damian asked as he held the guild's token.

The registration was successful, and now both Damian and Frederic were part of the Adventurer's Guild. He still had some questions about it, and Chris had to be the one answering all of them.

"Just do the quests and that's it. Each completed quest grants you a point within the guild, and that will allow you to increase your ranking, picking better quests. The number of high-ranked adventurers is low, so you can get some cash if you try hard enough," Chris said.

Chris was also a bronze-rank adventurer, but with the recent missions he completed, the silver-rank was on its way. That was something he worked hard for, with the help of Polly and Judith.

"This is feeling like a medieval world or something," Damian said.

"Well, we have little technology here anymore, and the humans living inside this floor or any other floor aren't only from Earth but people who grew here."

Damian and the others were chatting inside a tavern. Yes, a tavern. The place had many humans drinking and sharing some of their gossip, just like any tavern.

"Also, Damian, did you hear about the Skyfall Tower? I am thinking of trying once I get stronger," Chris said.

"I've heard, yes. One day we can go there together."

"You betcha."

There was no reason for Damian to share his experience with the tower with them, at least not for now. Damian was glad Chris wanted to explore the tower once he got more powerful.

'He would die with this level of strength inside that place, I think.'

Anyway, after a friendly conversation, a few drinks and soup, it was time for them to part ways. Damian and Frederic would start their journey looking for their friends while increasing the fame of their adventurer party.

Chris, Polly and Judith had other plans, so they parted ways.

The only two people sitting at the tavern table were Damian and Frederic.

"So what we gonna do now?" Frederic asked.

Damian took out a note from his pocket. "This is our next step," he said as he tossed the note.

"A quest to kill goblins? What is this thing? Are we so weak? Didn't we just kill a demon?"

"Yes, we did, but we need to start from the bottom in this guild, and that's what we gonna do. But first, we need a mount!"

The primary goal was to make the two of them an iconic duo, a famous party of the guild, and for that, they had to stand out!

Almost all the parties only had the domesticated beasts one could hire inside the cities as their mounts, and Damian did not want that. He wanted something new, something only he and Frederic would have, but what?

"I've got this bestiary with all the known beasts on this floor," Damian said.

He bought it from one of the nearby shops, and the two browsed through it together.

"This is it! It looks cool, and it has enough space for at least 10 people," Damian said, pointing at the drawing of a creature.

The creature he wanted to get as his mount was one of the most powerful ones that lived on the tenth floor. In fact, most people believed the creature was not originally from the tenth floor either!

It was a massive white wolf with thunder roaring around its body! The beast was immense, and even the drawing was terrifying.

Frederic, who was right beside Damian, seeing the same things he was, could not help but worry. "Are we going to face this thing? Can we win?"

"Of course we can. Now, let's go!"

Damian was the one in charge. Frederic would stay inside the tavern for eternity if Damian did not push him to follow.

"This map looks like shit," Frederic said, half-closing his eyes, trying to understand the map they bought.

"What's wrong with the map?"

"What's wrong with the map? Look how poor quality this is! I can barely see the name of the places and roads!"

Damian looked to the side, grabbing the map from Frederic's hands. "Let me see it. I think you might be a blind old dragon."

He was certain the map was okay, yet when he looked at it, the names and the drawings themselves indeed looked like shit.

"Yeah, you're right. But hey, it was the cheapest I could find, so this is a win for us!"

"Of course it was the cheapest…"

The place they looked for was a mountain, one that no one got close to it because of the constant thunders falling from the sky! It was a dangerous place, and it was in that place that people saw the white wolf from afar!

No one saw it up close. At least that's what was written on the bestiary, and Damian was impressed by how good the drawing was with the little information they had.

"We are heading to a mountain where thunder rains and there's a massive wolf who is likely to be one of the most powerful creatures in this place?" Frederic asked.

"Correct."

"Wonderful."

"Now, let's go faster, shall we?" Damian said, activating his Telekineses, making both him and Frederic fly.

It was the fastest method he had available for him at the moment, and even with that, it took them four days to reach the mountains!

The place was quiet, and there were no other beasts around the area. Damian and Frederic stopped right before reaching the surrounding area of the mountain.

Why? There were many black dots on the grass and holes on the ground. That's where the thunders fell, probably.

"So, how are we going to reach the top to see this beast? Also, how are you domesticating this thing?"

Damian made a sign with his hand. "Relax. Let me deal with it."

He acted like an experience person who knew what he was doing, yet that was not the case. Damian did not know how powerful the thunders were. No one did.

That was why that place was one of the most dangerous ones. The information about it as well as the information about the creature itself lacked, and no one wanted to be the first one to explore and learn it.

'I think I will have to be the testing subject.'

Damian stood still, and after a few seconds, a thunder fell from the sky right in front of them. It was fast, impossible to dodge, and the destruction on the ground where it fell was clear.

'No matter what type of ability or item I use, this will not work…'

He stayed in the same position, watching more and more thunders fell, and after a while, Damian noticed something! It was like the thunders followed a pattern, always hitting the same locations.

'I will watch more of this to make sure.'

Time passed, and Damian remained in the same position, watching the thunders. Frederic thought Damian was gone insane.

"Are we giving up?" Frederic said, and he got an instant answer.

"No. I know the pattern. Come, follow me," Damian said, grabbing Frederic's arms.

"Hold on! Are we seriously going to enter this field where it literally rains thunders?"

"Yes."

No matter what Frederic said or tried, Damian would not listen to him, and in the end, he followed him through the thunder field.

Frederic was skeptical at first, thinking it would be their end, yet Damian swiftly passed through the field, as if he knew where the thunders would fall.

Their adrenaline was high and fear of the thunder was ever-present.

It took them five minutes to reach the base of the mountain, a place where the thunders did not hit. The minutes felt like hours.

"Ah, finally!" Damian said, sitting on the ground.

"That was insane! Quite the excellent memory you have, mate."

"I know, I am awesome. Now, will this lead us to the creature?" Damian said, moving his gaze to what looked like the entrance of a cave.

The place was dark, but with his ring which increased his senses, Damian could see in the dark, and Frederic was a dragon, so both had no problems in being there.

But the deeper they walked, the stranger the cave became. It looked like a cave at first, but then changed to an area with cobblestone walls, reminding Damian of the dungeon labyrinthian.

Then, out of a sudden, a creature appeared from out of nowhere! The creature looked like a corpse, a mummy, wearing a long purple robe and wielding a staff!

The mummy was floating as well, and before Damian and Frederic could react, it waved its staff, sending a bolt of thunder right into Damian's chest!

A powerful move that sent Damian flying with a lingering pain in his chest, but despite everything, he was alive.

'I am glad I have this slime armor.' Damian thought as he got up from the ground, preparing himself for a fight.
