Chapter 392 I Like Collecting Favors

?The first floor didn’t prove much of a challenge since they simply followed behind Luca’s group, who cleared most of the little fries in the way, in order to get to their destination.

This continued until they reached the third floor, where goblins started to appear in groups of three to four.

Although they weren’t strong monsters, they were very fierce, and some of them would even call out to other goblins, increasing their number.

The Weeping Dungeon had Goblins from the First Floor up to the Fifth Floor.

From the Sixth to the Tenth Floor, it would be Orcs.

From the Eleventh up to the Fifteenth, it would be High Orcs, and from the Sixteenth up to the Twentieth, it would be Minotaurs.

Like most Dungeons, the deeper one goes, the stronger their opponents would be. Most Adventurers didn’t wander too deep into the Dungeon unless they were confident in their skills.

However, the Heir Wars demanded the three candidates to head all the way to the Twentieth Floor, which was not meant for the faint at heart.

Nicole and Ethan easily dispatched the group of Goblins that attacked them. After the Goblins died, they dropped blue crystals, which everyone called Monster Cores or Cores for short.

Ethan’s Wind Dancer was powered by high-ranking Monster Cores, allowing him to fly in the sky for long periods of time.

The cores were surrendered to Nicole, who would split them evenly among everyone once their group had finished clearing the trial that had been given to her.

Their progress went well because Nicole and Ethan could easily defeat the Goblins by simply stabbing their weapons into the goblins' heads, killing them without much effort.

When they reached the Fourth Floor, the Monsters were grouped in three and fours. But, the difference was that they were being led by a Hobgoblin.

Hobgoblins were bigger and stronger than regular Goblins. They also wielded iron swords, which could easily end the life of an ordinary person if they were not prepared to fight them.

Fortunately, Nicole, Ethan, and Samantha weren’t ordinary people, and with a bit of teamwork, they managed to defeat these groups of Goblins just fine.

Simply put, as they descended to the lower Floors, things would start getting tougher and would take anywhere from a few hours to an entire day to cover.

The Fifth Floor was a challenge because, now, there were four to five Goblins in a group, with three of them being Hobgoblin Fighters and the other two being Hobgoblin Archers.

“Sam, there is no need for you to worry about me and Ethan,” Nicole stated. “Pay attention to the Archers, and if possible, kill them completely with your ranged attack.”

“Understood,” Sam replied as she gripped her wand tighter than before.

After carefully observing Ethan and Nicole, she understood that the two of them would be able to deal with the Hobgoblin Fighters just fine.

The real threat was the stray arrow that the Hobgoblin Archers would fire, using their comrades as a distraction for their attacks.

Nicole expertly parried the Hobgoblin Fighter’s blow and unleashed a counterattack.

Unlike the Goblins, who were relatively slow, the Hobgoblin Fighters were much faster and were able to dodge Nicole’s first strike.

However, it wasn’t able to dodge her follow-up attack, which led to their death.

Lady Johanna observed the young beauty and understood that she was indeed an excellent fighter.

None of her movements were wasted, and she would always go for the most optimum strike to kill or disable her opponent’s ability to fight.

‘This young man isn’t half bad either,’ Lady Johanna thought.

Just like Nicole, Ethan was used to fighting against Goblins and Hobgoblins.

He had fought a lot of them in the White Forest, which was very near to the City of Zentris in the Lands of Alastor.

The young man would often hunt alone, drawing in the attention of these Goblins who had the habit of teaming up to take down a prey.

Although there were slight differences between the Dungeon Hobgoblins and the Hobgoblins in the White Forest, their aggressiveness was the same.

Half a day later, the group finally arrived in front of a Giant Bronze Gate, which had the insignia of a Goblin King on its surface.
