Mana Capacity

"Eric, what kind of spells did you use earlier when you fought off the Golden Devil?" Liz asks.

"Hmm, first I used spatial magic to swap me and Myla, then I used Dark Claws." I take them out, showing her. "Then I used Ancient Beast magic to increase my strength. This is because the attack spell I used gets its damage from my strength. However I had to drink the liquid mana Kagiyama gave me though, I only have enough mana to use that attack three times without recharging." I tell her.

"Speaking of the fight." Kallen says grabbing a box from the floor. "This is for you, for saving my daughter." He hands the box to me and I look inside.

Magic Steel (40), Epic Crafting Material

This steel has been infused with magic. This makes it incredibly sturdy and durable compared to normal steel.

"W-what!? I can't take this." I say putting my hands up.

"I insist, as much as it pains me to say, I don't think I could've gotten Myla out unscathed, let alone alive. So this is the least I can do." Kallen pushes the box to me while talking. I sigh and store it in my material bag.

"And this is for you as well." Kagiyama says holding out a white katana. It has a white wooden handle and sheath decorated with red ropes. "For saving my wife and daughter." I Observe it and read its description.

Divine Blade Ikari Lvl 25, Legendary

This blade was forged by a master dwarven smith. It has been wielded by many warriors and was enchanted by the Divine. Deals 100-125 melee damage. Requirements: Must have at least one Divine's Favor.

"No, this is to much. I'd be fi..." I start before Sugano interrupts me.

"Eric, I know your trying to be nice, but for us this represents more than a thank you. So saying no to it is like the same as saying both my daughter and I are worth less than the katana." I nod and hesitantly store it away.

"Sorry to interrupt." Scott says bowing a little. "But a new natural Dungeon has appeared. Its named the Fishmens swamp." Kallen and Kagiyama both look into the ball.

"It seems like its weak. Myla, how about you, Eric and Hino take care of it." Kallen says. Myla and Hino nod and stand up.

"Are you okay with that Eric?" Sugano asks. I nod and stand up.

"Wait what about me!?" Luna says jumping up and pouting.

"You, Asami and I are going to talk." Sugano says. "I'm sure you two have questions and I'd like Asami to learn what her secretarial duties are. And we don't know your skills, so we'd like to evaluate it. But don't worry we won't harm you." I thank her and tell Asami and Luna I'll see them later. I wait for them to grab their things. When we get outside the jeep is waiting by the entrance and Scott's driving. We get in with me and Hino in the back, Myla by Scott.

"Eric do you have any experience with this?" Myla askes when Scott pulls out onto the street.

"Yes, I've created and explored a few Dungeons with monsters but this'll be the first time with others. I only recently meet Luna and Asami cant use magic." I explain.

"Wait, you've been in Dungeons solo!? What monsters did you find?" Hino asks.

"I've fought pixies, giant rats, nature elementals and a tree Ent." I reply calmly. "What kinds of monsters have you fought?"

"Well, our parents only started letting us enter Dungeons recently. But we've only fought giant lizards, flame spirits and giant Insect's." Myla replies causing Hino to shudder when she gets to the insects. They each start inspecting their gear and I see I have new notifications and open them.

"We're here." Scott says stopping the jeep. I get out and look around. I see we're at the entrance to the towns little hiking trail.

"Are you ready?" I hear Myla ask. I turn around and see them in their combat gear. Myla's wearing a metal chestplate covering her chest, the Silver Garden emblem carved on, with chainmail running down to her legs and arms. There are metal strips or blocks around her vital points on her arms and legs. She has a pair of metal boots and gloves on. Hino is wearing leather and has the Blue Locus emblem displayed. Her leather armor is skin tight and covers her entire body. Myla holds a sword and shield with Hino having put a pair of blue gauntlets on.

"Did you hear her Eric?" Hino asks.
