[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 451

I decide to wait to see how long the respawn rate on this floor is.

Based on what I've experienced in labyrinths before, every 20 floors there's a major boss room fight, separating the floors and protecting the Dragon and Demon up top and limiting the number of hunters that can travel in.

If this guess is correct, and another Guardian is placed there, defeating the 39th floor boss may trigger a cooldown clock just like the Lower Floor Boss does.

So, just to be safe, I won't challenge the boss room here until I'm certain I'll be going up much further. I'm pretty sure whatever is on that next floor is going to be above level 1000, so I'd like to get as close as I can to that level too beforehand, and farming these minotaurs will do just that.

I start dungeon walking to other floors and clearing them out in the meantime to farm MCP and extra MP crystals to find that it takes just under half an hour for the 11 mobs to spawn back in.

Out of the 11, 10 are normal base-level mobs and 1 is a mutant with extreme fire magic again at level 985.

I go through the same procedure, taking out the base mobs with pure mana based attacks, and using a Qi-infused strike to subjugate the final mutant. The fact that I'm not having to send slashes out of my blade leaves most of the Qi in my possession, so I'm barely using any, but still, it is some.

The small % of my Qi base being used up each time is worth it as far as I'm concerned even if my level gains are slow, the mutant drops another fire stone, making me wonder if I am just extra lucky today, or if its drop rate is seriously 100%.

My level hits 959, and I continue to farm on floors 31-38, collecting loot, elemental stones, mana crystals, and continuing to gain MCP while I wait for the 30-minute-long respawn timer to reset.

I even check on Arie a few times, letting him use my absorption skill to farm MCP from the 30th Floor boss room. He's been farming there for high-level kills and has reached level 790. To my surprise, each time I come back, the Wyvern Boss is a different kind of mutant, dropping many unique Element stones such as red Earth Stones, and a greyish-brown tinted Water Stone.

Once I go back, 9 mobs spawn on the 39th floor this time. 8 of them are base level while one is a mutant at level 992.

It seems the levels and number of them vary. The fewer there are, the higher the mutant's level will be, but overall, it is pretty consistent.

I clear the floor again, reaching level 963, and the mutant drops a 3rd element stone. I come to the conclusion that I've really hit a gold mine here...

A nearly A-ranked unique element stone drop every 30 minutes. These stones are priceless treasures, and I'll be able to farm a nearly endless amount of them.

I repeat this process 7 more times, boosting Arie's mana control by over 100 million MCP, and raising my level to 988 while collecting even more rare element stones. I hold 9 in total in my item storage.

Even so, it's been a little over 6 hours since I left the town back in Sector 2. If it was worth the time spent, I would continue farming for levels, but even the strongest mutants hardly pass level 991-993 while the weaker ones range from 985-987. It's not guaranteed that I'll even gain a single level if I come back to farm after waiting upward of 30 minutes and the mutants are a lower level than I am.

I should be wrapping things up soon, and the fact that I haven't heard any word back from my body doubles about the situation in Valor city, retrieving my teammates before they face off in the arena doesn't settle well for me.

They're either taking their sweet time coming back, or something is not going exactly to plan. My body double would have killed itself if there was anything urgent, so whatever is happening, it's being handled just fine.
