Drop Items!

For most adventurers, magic is a miracle that allows a mortal to acquire supernatural abilities.

Simply speaking, magic is a very powerful ability. A person usually needs to sing a chant and consume a significant amount of mental energy to activate it.

The longer the chanting time, the more powerful a spell will be.

This is common sense for all mages in this world.

And an adventurer with magical abilities is often sought after in a team.

After all, mages are famous no matter where they go. They can simply solve some complex and challenging problems with magic.

The first magic that Serius showed, which can be instantly activated by saying the name, shocked and made Raul very envious.

But it is nothing compared to the one Sirius used a few moments ago. The first magic is incomparable and insignificant compared to this one.

The attack from before was definitely above level 1. Heck, even some level 2 mages may not release such a powerful spell.

Due to the previous attack, the dungeon passage was filled with dust and gravel, making it difficult to see further ahead.

But some occasional faint blue flames were burning here and there in the devastating scene, showing the extent of the damage.

The swarm of killer ants was instantly killed, and even their magic stones were not spared.

There were only some fragments of magic stones scattered all over the floor.

If an attack is powerful enough, a magic stone may shatter, and the power contained in it will slowly dissipate.

Therefore even though breaking magic stone is the most effective way to kill monsters, very few people do this.

Because this behavior is very similar to destroying one's property.

Their hard work will be wasted, but adventurers will also have no money to spend if they keep doing it this way.

It was the first time Sirius used his magic. He significantly underestimates their strength, resulting in shattered magic stones.

After activating the "The Arrival of Silver Star!" he thought he would have to spend some time dealing with the swarm of killer ants.

But never in his wildest imagination did he know that his magic was so powerful as to kill all the monsters instantly. And not even the magic stones were spared.

Few wisps of blue smoke lingered nearby, and Raul searched for some intact magic stones among the fragments.

After a while, he picked a relatively intact magic stone and carefully examined it.

Unfortunately, it excluded high temperatures with some cracked lines on the surface, making it completely unreliable.

After finding the result, Raul sighed and complained, "It looks like there is nothing to gain here… your attack shattered all magic stones."

"By the way, are you really a level 1? That magic is too exaggerated, right?" Raul couldn't stop himself from asking such a question.

"Ahem, I don't know what to say…After all, this is the first time I've used it. Never knew it was so powerful…." Sirius had no way to answer. It sounded more like a show-off.

"..." Raul gave him a speechless expression.

As an experienced level 4 second-class adventurer, Raul could also afford a grimoire.

But the reality is often cruel!

After all the expense, he couldn't even awaken his magic.

After wasting all his savings to buy a grimoire, he was only left disappointed.

His dream of having magic shattered before it even got started.

He is very envious of Sirius for having such a powerful spell.

…

After their encounter with the previous swarm of killer ants, the frequency of monsters on the floor returned to normal.

There was not another monster party!

It was good news for the duo.

The silver-grey spear used by Sirius was a backup weapon for the captain, having good sharpness and durability.

It can easily pierce through the outer shell of killer ants, tearing through their soft inner flesh.

There was no chance for him to cast another magic.

After all, he would blank out if he cast another magic like before.

The dilemma of a newbie adventurer is very far away from him.

After all, he has good pieces of equipment, powerful skills, and magic.

He is just like a protagonist in a story tale.

After all, even Bell, the original protagonist of this world, had difficulty dealing with monsters without proper equipment.

But after getting the Hestia knife, 200 million valis worth of priceless growth-type weapon, he quickly started killing monsters left and right without any issue.

Perhaps this is the power of money, very terrifying indeed!

…

Stab!

After being stabbed, a needle rabbit that tried to ambush Sirius lost its vitality and disintegrated into black ashes, dropping a magic stone.

Sirius let out a tired sigh after dealing with the monster.

All of his previous excitement was vented out, making him mentally exhausted.

Although they managed to reach the end of the seventh floor, he was mentally exhausted.

His "Heart Of Gaia" skill can help him recover physical and mental energy. Still, it can't do anything about the fatigue.

Raul wanted Sirius to quickly familiarize himself with the dungeon, so both took a lot of detours, commonly known as scouting.

After all, if an adventurer doesn't remember the maps and terrains, it's easy for them to get lost, right?

"Tsk tsk, furs of needle rabbits, claws of killer ants, etc. There are so many drop items and rare materials in my backpack making me a bit greedy!" Raul smacked his lips and said with some covetousness.

According to his estimation, their harvest is even greater than that of veteran level 1 adventurers.

"Are you really envious, Raul? You also have a share!" After putting away his spear, Sirius came to Raul's side.

"Of course, I'm envious of your luck! The increase in the chance of drop items is obviously related to you. The value of the collected magic stones is not even worth a fraction of these drop items." Raul let out a tired sigh, feeling regretful about his previous decision.

"Oh? Then my bro Raul, do you regret it?" Sirius asked sarcastically.

Before entering the dungeon, they agreed to share half of the gains from magic stones.

Sirius has no objection to this matter.

After all, he and Raul are both parts of the same familia. There is no need for them to argue about the proper distribution of the harvest.

Secondly, even though Raul acted as a supporter most of the time, his role should not be underestimated.

Supporters have a unique position in Orario; they complement adventurers perfectly.

They are non-combatants that explore the dungeon along with adventurers and carry many things, from magic stones dropped from monsters to spare weapons and items.

When an adventurer encounters a danger, they can also provide support like shooting arrows, laying down some traps, and providing remote cover to the adventurer.

If there was no Raul in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, Sirius would have no chance to fight and explore the dungeon so recklessly.

After all, it is very troublesome to pick up magic stones and drop items after every battle.

However, Raul forgot to include drop items in their agreement during their previous discussion.

And now he has no other choice but to lament…

"Yes, I'm very regretful! Who knew that there would be so many drop items. I'm so greedy looking at them…." Raul didn't hide his thoughts and openly expressed them.

After he said this, Sirius gave him a pat on the shoulder as comfort.

"It doesn't matter, brother! After we exchange them for valis, you will regret it even more!" Sirius dealt critical damage to Raul's heart.

"..." Raul felt even worse after hearing this.
