The other two team members from Deve’s group were over within minutes, as Karl and Dana had gotten out of bed so late in the day.
But that also gave them an excuse to stay for lunch, and sample some of the Mystic Cooking skills of the Darklight Host’s head chef.
And Lotus, who had created a super fluffy specialty quiche.
Picking both the actual chef and Lotus to have the new Mystic Cooking skill had actually been a brilliant idea because they both had different ideas of what should be prioritized to be improved, and they were willing to exchange recipes.
So, Lotus added new sweets and breakfasts, while the rest of the kitchen staff focused on properly nutritious meals.
Deve cleared his throat, "There really isn’t much to tell you about the dungeon. It’s demonic apes. We go to the groups, kill them, move on. They all use Earth Magic, so watch out for flying stones and earthquakes. The bosses are the same, but on a larger scale."
Karl and Dana nodded. "Alright, that’s manageable. But we have an idea. Remember how Dana and Ophelia accidentally triggered a new difficulty level in the Overlord Ranked dungeon by tanking with Limited Invulnerability and Golems? I suggest that we try the same thing in this dungeon too, if possible.
I know that Deve has the [Limited Invulnerability] skill and solid damage reduction, so we don’t need to change the tactics, just keep the others from getting hit hard enough to break the barrier I will put on them.
That should be enough to ensure zero actual damage is taken.
So, if there is a hard mode, we should find out, and then the Alliance might be able to get a loot improvement."
Deve frowned. The loot from the Mythic Dungeons was universally terrible. If it dropped mostly Mythic Ranked trash, it would already be worth more than it currently was. If it dropped Mythic items at Rare or Epic Grade on every boss, it would be huge for the Alliance.
"Alright. But if this works, I will ask that you teach that barrier skill to someone so that they can let the other groups survive the harder difficulty." Deve agreed.
"No problem. [Eternal Lightning] should be usable by Blue and White Dragons. Some of their clerics as well. The base form, [Refreshing Lightning Barrier] was only usable by the Blue Dragons, and they already have that skill book." Karl agreed.
The hard part would be getting the blue dragons into a dungeon.
Getting them into the Alliance was easy. Deve could just unleash their curiosity on Karl. But getting them to put their lives in danger for money? The blue dragons had close to zero interest in such things.
The white dragons were easier to work with. They would come along just to heal for the sake of healing. And they already had one in the group.
"Can you teach Lars?" Deve asked.
The white robed healer turned to watch them when he heard his name. Instead of laughing at Lotus’ dancing as she cooked, which was actually more entertaining than discussing a dungeon he had been to a hundred times.
"Teach me what?"
"How to create an Epic Grade barrier skill." Karl explained.
