Berserk Stick System

Chapter 154 - 154-Meeting With Natalia

"By the way, do you know what floor we are on now?" I asked Rey.

[I don't know, but we're definitely on the boss floor right now. Oh, that's right. Lia, there is a treasure box. You can try to open it. Maybe it's a useful item]

Hearing Rey say that, I saw a treasure box lying on the floor. Since I was feeling better, I walked over there to check it out. When I opened it, inside was a cube that glowed red. Next to it was a piece of paper explaining its function.

"Cominimus Cube. This cube is a cube made from cominimus ore. Its ability is to be able to make objects combined with them have a strong defense. Most suitable for Armor and Shield."

I was a little surprised by the items in this treasure box. I've heard of Cominimus Ore. It's said to be a rare ore that even at auction costs up to 10 Glory Gold Coins for the size of a small lump. I am filled with joy to get this item because it will be very useful to me.

"Rey, we've got a very useful treasure,"

[This is amazing. This dungeon turns out to hold good treasures. I think it's not in vain that we fought the insect queen earlier]

"Um,"

I stored the Cominimus cube in a storage ring and returned to recover my body. Although I feel better than before, I must be in perfect condition if I want to continue to the next floor, because there could be danger waiting for me there.

After I finished recovering myself, I went to the corpse of the insect queen and cut off body parts that were useful for me to use or sell in Quest Hall. I also obtained the Crystal Core from the corpse of an insect queen.

--PoV Lute--

After exploring for a while, we arrived at the boss's room on the 50th floor. Silvie and I looked at each other and nodded, preparing to fight the boss on this floor. When I slowly opened the gate, what I saw for the first time were the many insects that weren't moving on the floor and the remains of the insect queen's dismembered corpse. We both looked at this in bewilderment.

It looks like Natalia was sent to this floor earlier, or there's a possibility that Yua and others were caught in a trap and sent here, "

"I think so. Maybe if we moved faster, we'd find out who it was," Silvie said.

I nodded, and we both ran quickly out of the boss's room. Bosses in dungeons have a respawn time limit before they can be fought again. Usually, it takes a month. Since this floor has been defeated and the treasure box here has been taken, the treasure box will not appear again in the future. So people who conquered dungeons for the first time were the luckiest because they got a lot of treasure from the dungeons.

If you play the game, you will also get additional rewards when clearing the floor for the first time, while the second time only contains items that are used to upgrade weapons and others. The difference might only be in the boss respawn time because in the game there is no such thing.

When we explored the next floor, we found many corpses of dead monsters lying on the floor. When we reached the 53rd floor, we heard the sounds of fighting ahead. Silvie and I ran faster towards the sound. Once there, we saw Natalia, who was exhausted. She fought off the many armed skeletons surrounding her. Silvie and I jumped into battle and helped her.

"You two? How did you guys get here? " Natalia was surprised to see two of us.

"I'll explain later. For now, we'll help you sort this out."

Silvie nodded and fired Frostfire at a group of skeletons. This time the skeletons burned to ashes. Silvie could change Frostfire at will, making her abilities extremely powerful. I can't wait to see when she will build her own domain.

I also burned all the skeletons with a phoenix sword, because if I didn't crush them to ashes, they would put their bones back together, and that would be troublesome.

*Tak, tak, tak, tak*

The sound of angry skeletons, charging towards us with swords in hand. Silvie and I dodged all incoming attacks since the skeletons' movements were easy to read. We had no trouble dodging them, even though there were a lot of them. After fighting for a few minutes, all the skeletons here were reduced to ashes.

I turned to look at Natalia. She looked at me with a sullen look, and then looked another way while folding her arms across her chest. But judging from the sweat and breath that she let out, I'm sure she was already exhausted from earlier.

"Look at you. You should understand why we have to continue to be together in the dungeon. I've told you this before, " I said with an annoyed sigh.

Natalia said, with a displeased expression, "You don't have to teach me. After all, I have Rey with me. "

"You mean your Famos? Are you sure your Famos can stay with you? I'm sure your Famos are exhausted by now and can't fight with you, " I smiled playfully at her.

"Ugh..."

Natalia's face changes when she hears me. It seems that what I said is true. After all, even if you have Famos, they also need some time to recuperate. Unlike Woli, who doesn't need it at all, if he runs out of mana, he can take my mana without needing to rest.

"It seems like what I said is right. Stop complaining and stay with us. This dungeon is dangerous, especially if we're not together, " I told her.

Natalia opened her mouth, trying to argue, but then Rey's voice sounded in her head.

[Natalia, you better come with them. I can't stay with you, and I need to recover. There's nothing wrong with going with them anyway. This dungeon is also dangerous and has traps everywhere. It's better if you go with them because it will be safer]

Hearing Rey's voice, Natalia gritted her teeth and looked away in another direction.

"Okay, I'll come with you"

"That's good. You should have done this from the start. Let's continue exploring. " I smiled and patted her head.

A blue line appeared on Natalia's temple. She slapped my hand and just walked away.

'What's with that man? Just because I'm going with him, he's acting as if he's close to me,' Natalia was feeling really annoyed now.
