Through the iron gate, Morintis cast Detection.
[Goblin Mine Guard (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 14]
[Strength: 800]
[Agility: 400]
[Spirit: 200]
[Constitution: 1000]
[Skill: Stunning Attack]
It truly lived up to being an Enhanced Elite Monster; its attributes were several times higher than ordinary monsters.
Strength and Constitution were extremely high, indicating high attack and defense.
A Level 14 Knight class would only have Constitution between 300 and 400, far inferior to this Enhanced Elite Monster.
Without forming a party and cooperating, it would be very difficult to conquer the Nightmare difficulty dungeon.
However, these attributes were still far inferior to his Skeleton Warriors.
Morintis released the Skeleton Warriors from his Summon Space.
In the blink of an eye, the room was filled with Skeleton Warriors.
Then he opened the gate, officially beginning the dungeon run.
The Goblin Mine Guard roared excitedly and charged out from behind the iron gate.
It was met by the greatswords of the Skeleton Warriors.
It had a burly build, much larger than the Skeleton Warriors.
Similarly, its Agility was low, and its intellect was equally poor.
The Skeleton Warriors' blades landing on its body immediately caused ghastly, terrifying wounds.
With its attributes, even one-on-one against a Skeleton Warrior, it would surely die.
Let alone now, facing attacking by Skeleton Warriors.
At least five or six Skeleton Warriors surrounded it, hacking away.
In just two seconds, it fell with a dying shriek.
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard.]
[Experience +4200]
Receiving the notification, a flicker of excitement passed through Morintis's mind.
The experience was about 10 times higher than an ordinary monster of the same level outside.
Killing one monster here was equivalent to killing ten outside.
And killing it took only a second or two, not much slower.
Naturally, the leveling speed increased significantly.
Morintis felt he had found the right direction and immediately issued commands.
The Skeleton Warriors, with their characteristic clatter, charged into the dungeon passages.
Like an unstoppable army, they slaughtered their way forward.
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard.]
[Experience +4200]
[Obtained Bone 5]
[Killed Level 14 Goblin Mine Guard.]
[Experience +4200]
[Obtained Pelt 6]
Notifications appeared one after another.
Experience began to increase rapidly, and materials continuously piled up.
A detailed map of the dungeon quickly formed in Morintis's mind.
The Mine Dungeon, true to its name, was indeed a mine.
It had many passages, crisscrossing in all directions.
No matter which passage one chose, they would eventually reach the dungeon's end.
Typically, other parties would choose one path to advance.
Unlike Morintis, who sent Skeleton Warriors into every passage.
He spared no monster in every nook and cranny, killing all that could be killed.
Just five minutes after entering the dungeon, the light of level-up shone from Morintis.
"Finally, Level 11."
After leveling up, his Spirit was fully restored.
Morintis immediately summoned four more Skeleton Warriors to join the ranks.
The number of Skeleton Warriors reached 56.
[Name: Morintis]
[Class: Necromancer (Unique)]
[Level: 11 (0.00)]
[Strength: 120]
[Agility: 120]
[Spirit: 40/400]
[Constitution: 120]
[Equipment: None]
[Summon Space: 56/110, Skeleton Warrior (Quantity: 56)]
[Talent: Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2, Unique)]
[Passive Skill: Damage Transfer]
[Active Skills: Soul Flame (Level 10), Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11), Corpse Explosion (Level 1)]
[Comprehensive Amplification (Level 2): Effects of all skills are increased twentyfold.]
[Damage Transfer: All damage received by the Necromancer is borne by their summons.]
[Soul Flame (Level 11): Burns the target's soul, causing fire damage.Power scales with the caster's Spirit and skill level.]
[Summon Skeleton Warrior (Level 11): Summons one Bronze-tier Skeleton Warrior.]
[Corpse Explosion (Level 1): Detonates a corpse, dealing damage equal to 10% of the corpse's maximum health to enemies within a 1-meter radius.]
He checked his status.
"After Level 10, the increase in base attributes has become larger.
Strength, Agility, and Constitution increased by 20 points per level now, compared to 10 before.
Spirit increased by 100 points.
As the level increases, the attribute gains will become larger and larger."
Morintis understood this principle after reviewing the changes.
His skills improved again.
The Skeleton Warriors' four core attributes had reached 3400.
The base attribute increase of 20 points was amplified twentyfold, resulting in a net increase of 400 points.
All changes were basically within expectations.
Except for the newly acquired Corpse Explosion skill, which remained at Level 1, unchanged.
"Why is that?"
Morintis felt puzzled.
Why did his Soul Flame and Summon Skeleton Warrior skills level up, but the Corpse Explosion skill did not change?
He couldn't figure it out.
This situation was outside his knowledge base, touching upon a gap in his understanding.
"If Isla Ning were here, maybe she would know."
Morintis thought of Isla Ning, that playful, talkative, and lovely girl who knew much more than he did.
If she were here, he could ask her.
Setting aside his doubts for now, he continued deeper into the dungeon.
The Mine Dungeon had eight passages, interconnected with each other, resembling a maze.
However, all passages eventually converged.
Morintis distributed the Skeleton Warriors evenly across each passage, sparing not a single monster.
Experience increased in large chunks, steadily pushing his level upward.
The efficiency was significantly faster than outside.
By the time he walked out of the passage, the monsters within had been completely cleared out.
[Level: 11 (32.22%)]
He had almost completed one-third of the level.
It had taken just over half an hour—highly efficient.
