Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

As promised, the rest of the party was woken up and joined the fray over the next 30 minutes. Geth was still a bit troubled by how potent that sleeping spell was.

Since Felix wasn't particularly well-versed in offense, he had the man scavenge the corpse of the Sub-Boss. There should have been some type of drop.

Geth was correct in assuming this Dungeon would reward them with more Taming Cards. He'd chosen three Epics and some more points for his rewards after its death.

The reward was the only reason he'd wasted a precious few seconds smacking it before making his way to the Dungeon.

'This is even more efficient than I thought.'

Geth hadn't made a move in a while. In fact, he was just leaning back against his Direwolf Tame that was lying near the structure he'd made.

Zolis and Sindri were on the front lines alternating last hits until they reached Level 50. Geth simply had to keep up Protection and cast Mass Restoration now and then.

Those on the ramparts were buffed with Strength and Intelligence, while those on the front lines were enhanced with Strength and Defense.

Jack was patiently waiting his turn while helping Peter drag the bodies away. Swole was sprawled out on top of Geth's wolf, trying to take a nap.

"You know, you could help..."

Swole laughed.

"There's barely enough room to drag two corpses through at once. Just wake me when it's my turn."

Geth chuckled at his friend. His Direwolf continued to lick its paws.

'Want me to knock him off?'

A rough voice sounded in Geth's mind. He looked into the eyes of the wolf who was staring at him with mischievous intent. 

'Nah, let him rest. He's not like the rest of us. Without Mana, that mind spell probably put a large strain on him.'

Geth was honestly a bit worried about him. He didn't get over the grogginess as everyone else did. Maybe some rest would take care of it.

'How do you like Kane?' Geth asked.

The wolf shifted slightly. Its eyes turned toward the sky as if in thought.

'I like it.'

The reply came after a couple of minutes and another round of Protection spells.

"Well, welcome to the family, Kane."

The Direwolf didn't respond, but his tail speedily swayed back and forth in the dirt. It was enough to stir up some dust with his size, making for an amusing sight.

Geth pushed himself off of Kane's enormous figure and walked up the stairs to the ramparts. The others had been working for the past couple of hours.

"Hey, Blaze."

Geth called out and waved for his friend to sit on the wall with him. Blaze quickly took a seat and glanced at the ocean of wolves below them.

Geth spoke first, "How many days do you think it will be before we see the first Sub-Bosses come up?"

"At least three. Even if they wanted to, this swarm of Direwolves likely extends deep into the Dungeon."

Geth nodded. 

Blaze had always been good with calculations and reading behaviors. He trusted his friend's judgment.

"Sindri should reach Level 50 in the next hour. Make sure to cover hard while I swap positions with her.

She doesn't need to feel rushed in making her Class choice. That goes for everyone else as well."

Blaze let out a long sigh.

"Hulk and his group should finish their Dungeon in two to three days. It's going to be rough until they make it here."

Geth stood up.

"You're right. It is. If all goes well, everyone will be Level 50 before then, and we can power Level their group as well."

"You wouldn't rather us get a bigger lead?" Blaze asked, surprised. He knew how Geth wanted to stay on top.

Geth shook his head, "There's no way. Once you get to Level 50, it takes a million experience per Level. Even if we take this whole Dungeon, we probably want pass 65."

He'd thought about it. It would be beneficial to have his party at a higher Level.

The problem came when the first waves started to appear. Splitting ten warriors across the city to defend it would be spreading them too thin.

Twenty still wasn't enough, but at least then they could afford to put five at each gate. Albus couldn't really tell Geth what to expect with the waves, only that he wouldn't be able to handle them alone.

He turned his attention back towards the current battle. There was plenty of time between now and the first wave.

Geth watched as Zolis swung her axe down fiercely on an already weakened wolf. Its body split in half on contact, causing a gruesome scene.

This had happened dozens of times already. Jack and Peter would quickly grab each half and drag them over to Kane, who would consume them.

Hundreds of cores were already stacked on one side of the entrance. Geth occasionally walked over and stored them.

"Oh, looks like Zolis just hit 50."

She had already been Level 42 when they'd started, so it was only natural that she would finish first. Sindri was following closely behind at Level 48.

Geth yelled from the top of the ramparts.

"Jack! Get in there and swap out with Zolis! Keep it smooth, don't give the wolves a chance to push back!"

Jack nodded and sprinted forward. His broadsword was already out and swinging as Zolis shifted to the side.

The broadsword whistled by her and cleaved the head of a Direwolf. Zolis skipped back and walked calmly out of the entrance.

It was a smooth display and showed how well the team had begun to work together. Geth was confident that their teamwork would only grow as their party reached new heights.

A luminous glow surrounded Zolis just moments later after she'd chosen her Class upgrade. She smiled up at Geth and stuck her tongue out at him, a habit of hers that he'd always found adorable.

He flipped her off and went back to supporting those on the battlefield.
