Chapter 298 - Integrated Equipment Part 2
[So, what are the cons of integrated weapons?] asked Adam.
{There are more pros, but I covered the main ones and the other pros mostly only come up with special, unique and rare integrated weapons. As for the cons, they are as numerous as the pros, but aren't impossible to overcome} stated Ava.
{Firstly, since integrated equipment have spirits, they have personalities, which need to be controlled or negotiated with. Doing so can be hard and annoying, but I'm sure with the host's assertive aura, it shouldn't be too difficult to control or come to an agreement with integrated equipment. Although they may be able to gain their own energy storages, in most cases, integrated equipment do not have energy storages and are very draining for the owner. They also take up a part of the owner's body and if one loses control, they could lose that part of their body and in the worst case, even lose their entire body}
{The equipment integration is almost impossible to reverse and some other cons can come up in some cases, depending on the power of the integrated equipment and the intelligence of the spirit. However, do not get it into your mind that all spirits can communicate and are sentient and intelligent. They are aware of their owner and the owner's intentions, but that's all most integrated equipment are capable of. Some integrated equipment might be so weak and unintelligent that its owner won't even raise that it is an integrated weapon and won't be able to retract it into their body. It all depends on the owner, the circumstance and the overall quality of the equipment and the overview I have given you cannot cover all situations that might come up}
Adam took a moment to digest everything that Ava had informed him about Integrated Equipment, before asking her, "So how does that apply to the goblin beast's integrated equipment and why did the Dark Staff disappear after the Mage Goblin Beast died".
{Because this is a special floor where the way things work is very close and similar to reality, that applies to the Integrated Equipment of the beasts. Once the owner of a piece of integrated equipment passes, the piece of integrated equipment either perishes with its owner, or seals itself until it finds a worthy owner to unseal it. In the case of the humanoid beasts in the dungeon, it will perish with the owner, but can be used once before disintegrating, which is only because it is a special floor} answered Ava.
With that, Adam had a much clearer understanding of what integrated equipment was, and took a short while to recover the energy that he had used up against the goblin beast group.
It didn't take long to recover that energy and recover from the small amount of damage that the beasts had managed to deal him, then Adam went on to move around the outskirts of the forest in search of another goblin beast group.
Just like he had expected, quite a few of the powerful goblin beast groups had been sent out to get rid of him, and it wasn't long before Adam came across another one of the goblin beast groups.
Each of the goblin beasts looked identical to the goblin beasts of the same type and all acted and fought in the same way, which made it easy for Adam to deal with them after already fighting with them and knowing all their weaknesses.
Adam no longer went out of his way to dispose of the bodies of the goblin beasts or carry them over to the edges of the floor, but he gathered some of the useful equipment and spread them around the forest, in case he needed them.
After wiping out a few of the goblin beast groups, Adam was able to do so within a matter of minutes, which was a very long time for battles considering how fast they could move, but very short, considering that it was a battle against beasts that had the power of Advanced Cultivators.
Adam was unsure exactly how much time had passed since he had entered the dungeon, but he was sure that it had been a few hours, but he had been able to kill so many goblin beasts and was happy with the progress that he had made.
Cleaning himself in the small pond that was around the plot of land that previously used to be a safe zone, Adam was still on high alert.
He had previously been drenched in green blood and it was very stinky and also made it easier for him to be sensed and found, which he didn't want.
Getting out of the pond, Adam was shirtless and decided against wearing his shirt, as the stench and stains of the green goblin blood didn't want to be washed out.
Adam then went on to cutting his trousers into shorts so that more of his bare skin was showing, which made it easier to wash off the blood of the goblin beasts and also made it easier to move and use his flexibility.
It was becoming harder and harder to find the goblin beast groups, since Adam had already taken down most of them and had only stopped hunting them to go and clean himself
Dashing in the treetops of the forest, searching for another one of the goblin beast groups using his spiritual sense, Adam finally found one, but what surprised him was how they reacted to his presence.
The Archer, Swordsman and Mage Goblin beasts, who were the beasts in the group with the sharpest senses, as soon as they sensed Adam's spiritual sense lock onto them, released a cry as they communicated to each other to run away.
They all instantly rushed towards the goblin city while on the defensive, which surprised Adam who had never seen the cruel and hateful beasts of the dungeon retreat as he dashed after them, not wanting to let them get away.
