Delayed Transfer

Mark was carrying Liriel in his arms while the twins were in front of him while they were walking back home to the circus. Since they were only staying in this village for three days, more than likely, this was the last time they would visit it.

It was a quaint little town full of pretty little houses surrounded by flowers and trees but Mark wouldn’t choose to live here since nothing exciting was happening here. Maybe a place like this would be ideal if you’re really old and were just waiting to die but personally, Mark would choose a city where its lifeblood would be moving so fast that the moment you close your eyes to sleep, you would regret it since you would be missing a lot of things that would be happening. Maybe a city with several dungeons surrounded by various guilds and schools. That would be exciting.

But right now, Mark was doing what he thought could be the most exciting thing. Traveling a magic world safely and comfortably in the middle of a circus.

When they entered the vicinity of the circus, Mark and the kids saw the place where Hamil set up the theater and there was already a long line of people queuing outside the ticket booth. Several guards were making sure that everything was in order. Mark saw the old toymaker Nicholas and his grandson who shared his name so he went and greeted them.

“Nicholas! Mark!” The twins shouted at the toymaker and his grandson.

“Hello! We heard from the announcer that this was a magical theater play that could only be seen in this circus. Are they playing the show that the kids told me earlier?” Nicholas asked.

“No. They're playing something else but you will be amazed at what you will see.”

“I spent a lot of coins here!” Nicholas then showed the items they had purchased from the stall the Milena set up.

“Did you try the Yoda Roller Coaster!” Aaron asked.

“We’re planning to try it tomorrow since we don’t have enough time today. I’m so glad that you’ll only be leaving on the third day. We will be able to experience everything that the circus can offer.”

“The little girl’s hair is glowing!” Nicholas’s grandson suddenly pointed at Liriel’s hair.

“Oh it’s just a wisp that follows her around,” Mark said.

Mark and the twins said their goodbyes to Nicholas and his grandson then they headed directly to their RV.

It was already six in the evening when they entered the RV and Mark knew that Milena would not have the time to cook dinner for them. The twins and Liriel played with their new toys while they were waiting for everyone to arrive for dinner.

Not long after, everyone arrived and Mark asked everyone what food they wanted to eat.

After dinner, Mark went to Nedertu and Milena’s RV to replicate some more items they would sell the next day. It was a lot easier since he didn’t have to think of which items to conjure since Milena had already made a list.

That night before sleeping, Mark reviewed his System Panel. Defeating the boss on the thirtieth floor earned him three levels so now he was level one hundred and two. The free stat and skill points that he could assign were both twelve but he decided to assign them at a later time.

The next day after breakfast, Rendira arrived to continue tutoring the twins while Liriel joined them while coloring her coloring books that Mark replicated. He informed Milena that he would be gone for the morning and would return in the afternoon.

Once the kids were busy, Mark went inside his bedroom and headed directly to the floors that had bosses to kill them. He wanted to collect more items that he could use.

In a fit of bad luck, all the items that the bosses dropped were only blue items. Mark hoped that his next item hunting he would be lucky but that would be two days from now. He then headed directly to the thirty-second floor.

The thirty-second floor was a valley covered in snow. Mark was sure that the monsters that he would encounter would be monsters that could be found in a cold area and he was right, the first group of monsters that he encountered was two Yetis and eight snow dire wolves upon identification which caused the monsters to rush towards him.

Mark summoned all of his plant golems to block the monsters. Two towering ancient tree golems, two tall tree golems, and two small bush golems blocked the rushing monsters. He then cast his spell, Abyssal Forest. Suddenly it seemed like a portal from the void appeared on the ground and from the portal, a forest with different colored plants appeared and the plants had long sharp tentacle-like thorns that attacked the Yetis and the snow dire wolves.

The good thing about Mark’s plant spells was that they wouldn’t attack the plant golems so he could cast his plant spells without any worries about damaging his summons.  He then cast Abyssal Thorn and from the void three tentacle-like vines appeared full of thorns and attacked the enemies.

The summons and the two spells were enough to kill all of the monsters from the first group that he encountered on the thirty-second floor of his dungeon. Mark kept the loot that dropped and moved forward.

Since the ground was knee-deep in snow, Mark decided to just fly while moving forward. Soon, he was so cold that he needed to stop so he could retrieve thick clothes from his inventory and wrap himself in them.

Mark then became aware of the lack of elemental spells in his arsenal like fire spells that could assist him in these types of situations.

He encountered the next group of enemies and they consisted of two yetis again but weirdly no other monsters. He attacked the yetis by casting Void Chain lightning at the huge ice monsters but suddenly around seven ghost-like white creatures appeared from the snowy ground. When Mark quickly identified the monsters, the system stated that they were Ice Wraiths.

He cast Void Hurricane, followed by Void Storm, and the energy from the void that appeared and ripped the monsters apart. Mark was appalled when after he defeated the second group of monsters, a blizzard suddenly appeared and the surroundings were covered in hazy snowy fog.

It was truly too cold and Mark decided to replicate an SUV and he entered it immediately. He cranked the heat as high as he could and he sighed at the hot temperature inside the vehicle.

After a few minutes, the blizzard stopped but the SUV was now buried under snow. He was so glad that his Telekinesis was powerful enough to let himself out from the buried vehicle. Mark then stored and destroyed the replicated SUV inside his inventory.

He was so glad that the blizzard only lasted for a few minutes and knew that the dungeon was just showing its ability to replicate a season but the difficulty of conquering this floor was now a bit difficult.

Mark flew forward to continue his dive. He decided that he didn’t like this floor. It was too cold and the monsters were difficult to see but he didn’t stop since he wanted to complete the thirty-second floor as soon as possible.
