17 Chapter Seventeen - Dungeon End
"Treat the injured! those with life threatening take priority!"
The excitement from victory died down and restorative efforts were in effect. The injured were being treated and taken from the battlefield, the exhausted adventurers sought refreshments and the kinsmen of the deceased wept at their sides.
I sat beside Ellen who was busy stuffy her face on the rations the guild supplied, Sheena and Rochelle were both busy grabbing any valuable monster drops and parts they could find for monetary gains.
>sigh
"Don't they knows it's in appropriate to be so selfishly greedy during such a time a grief."

Most of my skills have ranked up by a star or two and my copied skills have also leveled up. My level have even surpassed the guild master's requirements and I was even half way into going up another level.
"Back off ass face!" Rochelle's voice broke me from my analysis on my status, I looked up and saw Rochelle and Sheena digging through the corpses for magorite while being bothered by a small group of adventurers.
[Magorite] - A gemstone of varying colors and sizes depending on the monsters they're extracted from. Often use in creating gears and amor and making skill slot items.
It's similar to magic stones from fictional media back on earth and just as they were these are very valuable items.
The guilds buy them like crazy after having them appraised and on the off chance your magorite contained a skill from the monster you had extracted it from it could go for millions of gold.
Oddly enough Magorite are only found in dungeon monsters and not in monsters above ground and as such, adventurers who only seek wealth and not strength or fame dive into dungeons daily collecting as much magorite as they can get their hands on.
"I said back off!"
The attention of every bystander was directed towards Rochelle and Sheena who were in a spat with a group of background characters.
They were the generic bully type adventurers who avoid dangerous quests and in returns bully adventurers they deem weak and new until submission then taking their money as new comer payment.
It's called newt tax. Don't know how it got the name but it's cringe.
"What the he- Gaah!"
"These chicks are strong!"
By the time I escaped my train of thought there had been a one sided massacre was Rochelle sitting upon a pile of broken unconscious bodies.
Sheena had a bunch of Magorite in her cloak as she stood by the pile looking at the gloating demon empress.
I sighed and turned to Ellen to distract myself with the beautiful glutton stuffing her face like there was no tomorrow.
I wonder if she plans on leaving some of the rations for the others.
Magorite huh, I grabbed a purple glowing Gemstone that glowing from the chest of a Wyrm.
{Wyrm} - A serpentine like dragon that has no limbs or wings, the head of a dragon and the body of a scaly python. Wyrm are dragon specialized in water manipulation as they use it for combat. (Leviathan is a Wyrm).
I looked at the purple crystal as I felt a malicious aura pulsate from it like a beating heart.
The magorite then shone a bright white light that drew the attention of the bystanders around me.
As the light began dissipate the purple color faded and the crystal now had an orange hue.
"Woah it's a skill magorite!"
The group erupted in a wave of gossip as they all witnessed what unfolded.
~Appraise
Wyrm Heart- a Magorite found in the heart of a Wyrm.
Skill:
Water Manipulation: Lvl 5
A skill that allows one to spread their mana into a body of liquid and manipulate the liquid as one would manipulate ones own limbs.
I suddenly felt a slight headache as it felt like a skill I possessed was acting up.
~Cop-
"Ereeeeeeeeeek!" An ear popping cry resounded throughout the entire area that interrupted me and caused everyone to fall to their knees.
A monster stood in the skies above us gradually increasing in size as the monster corpses on the ground blow away into dust an rise up to the monster in the air.
The more monsteres it absorbed the bigger and stronger it got.
"Kill it quickly it's a boss from the 50th floor!"
"Huh, that thi- those with skill that can reach that monster attack!" A nonstop barrage of skills lit up the sky from archer skills to magic arts.
"It gets stronger the more minions it consumes and the battlefield is an unlimited buffet of dead monsters. If it keeps absorbing them then we'll be unable to stop that thing." Mizuki shouted at the top of his voice while releasing a fury of spells.
The skies erupted into a explosive sound like thunder and a giant python was seen falling from the sky.
It was about ten times the size of the wyrms.
Satsuki ran ahead of the crowd with his shield held before him. He then aimed the shield towards the falling monster the shouted an incantation and in the next second the entire battlefield was covered in dust and debris.
"Where did it go?"
