And again to the current.
Beginning on the third flooring, the environment was utterly totally different than the earlier flooring.
On this flooring, regardless that it bore some resemblance to the earlier two flooring, it was an extremely giant area with an especially excessive ceiling, adorned with spider silk right here and there. It was as if the ground itself had been reworked by some sort of power after being became a dungeon.
The ground’s giant dimension appeared to permit a number of giants to go simply, as might be seen from the footprints of a number of the large creatures on the floor, wall, and ceiling.
One other factor was, the ground was considerably stuffed with purple poison mist, which was constantly neutralized by the glowing Superior Saintess Necklace. If anybody aside from Hecate was on this flooring, they might seemingly obtain steady DOT injury the second their pores and skin touched the air right here.
“Hehe, such a petty trick will not work on me.” (distorted voice)
Nonetheless invisible, Hecate managed the clone to take the lead.
For the reason that room was so giant, touring between flooring areas would usually be tiring and time-consuming. However in fact apart from Hecate who has the Superior Saintess Necklace which grants her nearly inexhaustible stamina.
After spending a number of minutes strolling with out encountering mobs, she merely determined to make use of the Sprint talent.
It didn’t take too lengthy earlier than she discovered the mobs of the third flooring.

General, the Archdoras had grey fur and so they appeared to be extra geared in the direction of bodily expertise, whereas the Archmigas had brown fur and so they have been geared in the direction of magical expertise.
As for Womb Spiders, Hecate wasn’t even certain they have been spiders anymore.

And after wanting carefully, the tentacles have been stuffed with what seemed like hair, which have been finally additionally tentacles, however with eyes at every finish.
Slightly than spiders, they have been like eldritch abominations.
KHEEEKK!! KHSSAAA! KHSSAAKKK!!
When the spiders sense somebody intruding on their nest, they cease their actions and stare on the intruder.
Their dimension and sheer quantity might make weakhearted Gamers faint and be ejected out of the sport. In reality, Hecate was additionally felt disturbed, however she was capable of management her feelings simply tremendous, because of the truth that she was presently invisible and all of the stress was shifted onto the clone.
And as if they’d been ordered, the spiders began attacking the clone.
“Properly then, let’s the sport began.” (distorted voice)
With that stated, Hecate manifested one other Hearth Lance within the clone, whereas she hid in a protected place.
[Another Place]
Inside a cocoon, Arachnia immediately opened her eyes.
She smiled viciously as she obtained the telepathic message from her descendant. Her humanoid eyes, which had yellow pupils with black sclerae, shone with a harmful crimson mild.
“That was refreshing!”
Hecate took off the masks and sorting all of the loot in her stock to the storage.
The harvest this time could be stated to be very plentiful. There are a whole lot of spider corpses that may be processed into meat and different issues, comparable to carapace, poison gland, and plenty of others.
To not point out that there are additionally Soul Essences included.

Usually, because of the gigantic dimension of the carcasses, Hecate must disassemble them to suit the utmost allowed dimension of 3m 3m 3m. As well as, their complete weight would positively exceed a number of tons, which far exceeded her present weight restrict.
Thankfully, she had one thing that solved the issue.
Spoiler Merchandise Identify: Scroll: Shrink (Lv5) Kind: Consumable – Scroll Rarity: Sturdiness: 5 Description: A scroll contained the spell Shrink Lv5 Shrink Lv5:
Adjustments the dimensions and weight of an inanimate object by one-tenth.
Can’t be used on objects which are involved with animate objects.

This scroll was included within the change record of the Solstreus Magic Academy Trade Space. Hecate took a few of them as samples earlier than she returned to Rosenweil Kingdom. This spell could be invaluable for transporting functions, so in fact the scroll must be copied and mass-produced.
However naturally, that alone wasn’t sufficient, so she additionally needed to spent a complete of 15 talent factors to get a sure talent.
Spoiler Ability Identify: Mystical Penetration (Lv5) Necessities: Archwizard/Archwitch, Mystical Amplification Lv5 Kind: Energetic MP Prices: 100 Impact: Provides a piercing impact to the person’s subsequent spell.

In the meantime, Mystical Reverberation can change a single goal spell like Firebolt into an AOE spell, however the injury will probably be unfold evenly to the receiving goal.
Whereas each expertise have been good when used properly, Hecate did not like utilizing them.
That was as a result of Mystical expertise could not be used collectively, and he or she most popular Mystical Amplification over the 2. Mystical Amplification alone was sufficient to pulverize the enemy, exceeding the injury when spells have been used with Mystical Penetration by a big margin. And since she already had AOE spells, Mystical Reverberation was of no use to her.
Till at this time.
With the Mystical Reverberation and Shrink Lv5 Scroll combo, she lowered the dimensions of the enormous spider carcasses to slot in the stock. However nonetheless, the world affected by Mystical Reverberation was restricted and he or she solely received about 60% of the spider carcasses.
So it was a given to return there as soon as once more later.
“However their reflection injury is kind of shocking. Too unhealthy it did not work on me(clone) although.”

The third flooring actually a superb leveling spot. Particularly these Archdora and Archmiga Tarantullas. Every provides 60k and 68k EXP respectively when EXP Potions are used.
However nonetheless, Hecate could not assist however cautious with the Womb Spiders there.
For some cause, in Hecate’s eyes they exudes a crimson aura that symbolized hazard and unhealthy luck. It appeared nothing good would occur if she have been to assault them.
“They did not transfer from their place anyway, so I will simply keep removed from them and go away them alone.”
Ten minutes later, Hecate completed shifting the loot to storage.
It is time for a brand new spherical, and the clone has been recast. Hecate drank one other Improved Invisibility Potion and rushed again to 3F. Nonetheless, what awaited her was opposite to what she had anticipated.
“Wait, the place are the spiders!?” (distorted voice)
The beforehand giant mysterious area, stuffed with quite a few gigantic spiders was no extra.
What was in entrance of her was simply an peculiar corridor, similar to 1F and 2F. There was some dried blood and damaged furnishings right here and there, however not a single spider, or different monster in sight. Simply to make sure, she went to the 4F, spent about half-hour exploring all the best way to the throne room on the 5F, however discovered nothing.
And as she entered the throne room, she immediately obtained a brand new notification message.
