Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

"I do not know why but I feel like we achieved something great just now!" Alice walked over and sat down next to Vance, and leaned against him. Sweat dripped from her brow. This was the first time she had ever been so anxious in her life. One wrong move, and they could have easily died.

"Vance, are we going to be fighting harder monsters than this?" Sally asked as she sat on the other side of Vance.

"Yes. In fact, after we clear the floor of the snakegoons we will be fighting the floor boss. I do not think any spidragoons will be found on this floor" Vance reapplied. "But before any of that, I will be making potions. We need extra healing. You girls grab the loot while I work on that."

Alice and Sally got up and walked over to see a few items lying on the ground. A batgoon tooth, three gold coins, a dagger, and a pair of boots. They picked them up and brought them back over to Vance. "We got all of these."

"Mmm…. Sally, take the dagger, you are the only one who uses daggers, and it will boost your strength. Alice, take the boots. While they are good for me too, I am more worried about your defense. The extra strength and agility will also work out well with your bow. As for the tooth, I will take it. We will each take a single gold coin for our own private money. You girls need your own money, so I can not always be holding on to it. Mine will go to our travel expenses since I barely use it anyway." Vance knew the girls liked to shop, so it was good for them to have their own money for things. He himself preferred to skimp out. He can't remember spending too much money in his past life.

"Are you sure? We don't mind just asking for money later on." Alice felt a little bad. Out of all of them, only Vance has not really gotten anything.

"It's fine. Girls need to buy girly things when no one is around. Anyway, This will take an hour, so let's rest up. " Vance already crafted a single healing potion to get the crafting recipe put into this system and then set it to auto craft. With the potions, they had left they should be able to continue through the dungeon without issue. They can always slow down and take a break between monsters as well. Luckily each floor's boss room after the boss is defeated, and the entrance of each floor is a safe zone. This will give them a sleeping area where they can sleep peacefully without worry.

Once he was done crafting, Vance and the girls continued to kill their way through the dungeon. Vance was hoping for a treasure chest at one of the dead ends, but sadly there was nothing. Treasure chests would be a random occurrence and could be found anywhere throughout the floor. But running into one was just pure luck.

After clearing the entire floor, Vance and the girls came to a small metal door. At this time, combined with the experience from the unique elite, each of them gained 2 levels, making Vance level 28, Alice level 26, and Sally level 27. During this time, Vance noticed his quest points were also going up. He could only guess this was due to the repeatable quest he had left at the guild.

The door in front of them had a picture of a large snakegoon engraved into it. Vance already knew the boss of this floor was a snakegoon type boss, but this one had a small set of wings and feet, and arms. It was an evolved form of the snakegoon, a snagangoon. Vance always wondered what was the naming sense of the monsters of Alanatina Online but never cared enough to figure out why they named everything with such strange names.

"Okay, listen up. The boss ahead had four attack patterns. Each one has a visual indication of when it will attack. The first is the breath attack which is a wind based attack. The boss's head will raise back with its mouth wide open. During this time, you can attack it with everything you have but do not stand in the direction it is facing, or you will most certainly die. The second is a tail swipe. As soon as the boss begins to turn away from me,  you need to quickly retreat backwards. This second attack is harder to keep track of since it relies on you both keeping a good read on my positioning as well.

"The third attack is a widespread fire pillar attack. This is easily seen by the orange glows on the ground. Just do not stand on top of the orange spots during this time. This attack is normally repeated three to five times. So just be careful. And the final attack is a flying dive. It is always a straight on attack, so it is easier to just watch my movements and never stand directly behind me.

"The battle will not be easy. There is a lot we need to watch out for, but once you get the hang of it, you will begin to learn how to survive in a boss fight. Each floor has one of these bosses, so we need to work hard. These bosses are all the same level as the monsters on this floor, but when we reach the fifth floor, the boss will be a few levels higher than the monsters, so take this chance to learn what you can.

"Luckily, we got a good roll and no spidragoon boss this time, but I am sure it will be on the next floor." Vance had heard the first floor varied on monsters. His run had a mix of three kinds of monsters with a spidragoon boss at the end. But this time, he had a unique batgoon, so He figured this pushed the spidragoons to the second floor.
