The Transfer dungeon's Abyss level has been cleared flawlessly and since I helped with the healing and commands on how they should fight the boss, it was much smoother for them to finish the dungeon without any casualties and minimal damage to the equipment. It was insignificant and the boss is not that strong, to begin with. The only thing that makes it a threat is that it can easily use an illusion that would allow it to attack while being safe from the attackers due to the illusion. Unfortunately for the boss, I already know the techniques, allowing for our easy clear.
In the end, everyone got a piece of gear that they will equip. Dolly is now fully equipped as she got the last piece of armor she will need until she hits level 100 and above. Father and Mother also got some decent equipment and plus with the equipment I have given to them, they are also decently equipped too. Topaz got a few accessories that boosted her max MP and magic amplifier allowing her to get more boost. Hagane and Iron also got some pieces of armor that are decent enough to give them extra defense. It wasn't much but they said it was worth enough for them to replace their current armor pieces.
We decided to hold off on clearing this place again since it wasn't that worth much and Dolly only wanted to clear the Abyss level. I also have no intention to clear this dungeon again since I got plenty of materials that are enough for creating the necessary items I will be making. Since my parents are still very eager to hit level 90 and Dolly and the others are now eyeing the level 100 cap, they decided to go and fight some monsters in the wild. Since they are not going to clear a dungeon, I decided to leave to avoid getting extra experience from them as that would slow down their experience gain with more people around, sure I might need it but I have other areas I can farm experience on my own without compromising the growth of my allies due to how I consume a bit of the experience earned.
Sure I needed all the experience I needed but that doesn't mean I needed to join in every battle and get at least a little experience that barely contribute to the exp bar. So to help them grow, I will leave them alone until they ask for help.
Since everyone continues to level up, I will be going back to the mansion and process all the materials I got. Before I went back to the mansion, I headed to the nearby miners who sell ores and ingots since I am running out of ores. Since I am quite a regular at getting ores, the miners have already know how to keep a load of ores and ingots since I usually buy them twice the normal price if they are of good quality. This made the miners take the chances to earn extra money whenever I went to purchase ores.
As usual, I get some high-quality ores that would really help with increasing the quality of my works. I also passed by an alchemist shop where they also sell some items and herbs that I will need. Since potions are herbs and materials hungry, I needed tons of them.
....
...
After shopping, I returned to the mansion. While I am still a few meters from the mansion, I can see two figures outside the mansion's door who are currently talking to Gobu's wife.
"Aren't those...?"
I started running towards the mansion and confirmed who they are.
"Queen Tanya! And... Queen Tori...? What are you guys doing here? I am quite sure I haven't told you guys about this place and you two haven't stepped a foot in here just yet until now."
The two figures heard my voice and turned around to face me.
"Oh? Finally, looks like you are finally here, Bladeheart. I have my ways that are easy to do for us to know where you are staying. Tori here has something to discuss with you and I decided that we should just visit you instead of waiting for you to come back knowing that you are preparing for the task that my sister has given to you. We are talking to her who is in charge of watching your mansion and she said you are currently out. Looks like you just arrived just in time," Queen Tanya smiled.
"We apologize for coming here unannounced, Bladeheart. We have some important matters to talk about with you and it is very urgent."
"If it is urgent, then please come inside and we shall continue the discussion there. It wouldn't be appropriate if we talk out here in the open," I suggested.
The two nodded and we entered the mansion. Gobu's wife prepared a few sets of tea that my mother has created for anyone who wanted to drink one. The two marveled at the mansion since it is much different from mansions in the Alternate World. After all, it was my father who designed the interior.
"So what are you guys trying to discuss with me that is urgent enough for you two to personally visit me? Surely it wasn't just a minor matter since you guys would just wait for me to come back to Sandurk."
"Indeed Bladeheart. There are some things that have changed after we discussed the raid. Monsters are now showing up around the kingdom. Although it was a normal occurrence for strong monsters to appear, it was not something I would take lightly as the monsters have formed a Monster Parade," Queen Tori explained.
I was a bit stunned by Queen Tori's revelation. If there are some events where monsters overflow and are called Monster Stampede, Monster Parade is different. The reason it was called Monster Parade is due to how it is one of the most organized appearances of monsters on the surface and the bigger the Monster Parade is, the bigger chance that there are multiple leaders inside this gathering of monsters.
It is a very rare term that only a few people and players know and I doubt there are other players who know this term just yet in this timeline. However, one thing is for sure. If you compare Monster Stampede and Monster Parade in terms of danger levels, then the Monster Parade will come out as the superior danger of the two. The reason is simple, Monster Stampede is just a stampede of various monsters, disorganized, and has no one that commands them. Some monsters are too panicked and they are most likely under the influence of Berserk most of the time. Not only that but it was much easier to kill monsters in Monster Stampede.
However, it is a different story once we said, Monster Parade. As I said earlier, the bigger the Monster Parade is, the higher the chances that multiple monster leaders are present. Not only does this pose a big problem, but it also makes the mobs that aren't a serious threat to be a problem due to how they are in high morale and they possess the teamwork that was not present in rampaging monsters, creating a challenging problem.
"Isn't that pretty dangerous? Are you guys fine over there?"
"Yes, my townspeople are now in a safe place while my soldiers are now doing their best to repel any incoming attacks. Of course, the longer the attacks persist, the bigger the danger becomes. After all, our defenses are not invincible and our resources are not unlimited."
"I think I get the gist of what you are here for but let me ask you to confirm my suspicion. You are going to ask me to proceed with the raid, in a few days from now on right?"
"Unfortunately, yes. If the Monster Parade did not appear, perhaps I would have been able to keep the same deadline I have given you but seeing this unprecedented matter, the only thing I can do is to reduce the time limit needed. And honestly, even if my sister and I would go and deal with the Monster Parade itself, it is too much even for us. The monsters are too strong for the likes of us that we will need all the help we can get just to do this."
Despite this outcome, I am not nervous. Now that I have known about this, it is time to finish my preparations.
"Then, I will be resuming on my preparations. If it's this dangerous already, I think it is time to begin phase one of the operations."
Queen Tori's eyes lit up when she heard I will be in agreement with her. Knowing that this will be an important operation, she decided to pull out one item in her bag.
"Bladeheart, this might not be able to help much but I hope it can do much more in your capable hands."
Queen Tori then handed me something amazing that I cannot believe in my eyes.
[Origin Dust]
Type: Ingredient Item
Info: Dusts are used to perfectly increase the latent potential of the creation. Increases the chances of producing a Unique or above-tier weapon or armor and increases the chances of it being upgraded to the max.
Note: It might be just dust but this dust can cause a whole country to turn upside down due to how valuable and magical it was.. Maybe selling one piece of it would allow you to become a billionaire.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
