Delayed Transfer

The next day the circus arrived at a very small village and as expected, they set up very minimal acts and attractions. The whole circus considered this stop as a continuation of their rest since the few acts that were set up would only need a few people to manage them.

Even Milena didn’t plan to set up a stall and would just help the others. Lisa and Norleen would look after the children and Nedertu and Colin could do whatever they wanted to do.

Mark would busy himself diving that dungeon so after they parked their RV, he retrieved the second RV and placed it beside his then after breakfast he headed directly to the forty-second floor of his dungeon. 

When he arrived at the dungeon floor, he was surprised to see that it went back to the basics. He was looking at a huge cavern.

Mark cast his buff spells and the Fly spell and proceeded to move fast since he planned to complete this dungeon in a short amount of time. The first group of enemies that he encountered proved the fact that the dungeon truly went back to the beginning. They were goblins. Their skin color was different though. It was red and the monsters' attack and defense were significantly greater than their level-one counterpart based on the result of the first spell that he cast which was Glacial Void. The red goblins survived that powerful spell but then after two more spells, they all died immediately. There were four red goblins wielding different weapons but they died so fast that Mark didn’t even know how they would fight.

He retrieved the two green drops that the monsters dropped and destroyed the items immediately then he moved forward.

The next group of enemies that he encountered were the same but this time the first spell that he cast was to summon Yoda the Void Dragon. The void dragon made short work of the red goblins so for the next few fights which were all goblins, Mark decided to allow Yoda to kill all enemies and he just sniped those monsters that the dragon missed.

After three hours, the forty-second floor was complete. When he checked the time, it was only noon which was the fastest completion of a floor that didn’t include the boss rooms. Mark spent a few minutes eating then headed directly to the forty-third floor.

It was still a cavern but this time, aside from the red goblins, there were red kobolds and the number of monsters per group was the same, around five to ten. Mark made short work of the monsters by casting Glacial Void and then commanding Yoda to destroy them all. He also used a single target spell to assist the dragon in killing the enemies in a short amount of time.

Regarding the loot, he immediately destroyed the green ones and only kept the blue and above items. If there was anything above blue, he didn’t notice since he was moving too fast.

After three hours, the forty-second floor was completed as well and it was only past three in the afternoon.

Mark then decided to raid all the boss rooms since it would take him less than an hour. After that, he put all of the items he had received from the two floors that he completed together with the items he received from the boss rooms on the 1^st floor of the dungeon. Based on a quick count, six purple items were in the bunch but no orange ones.

He then proceeded to go to the eleventh floor to shower and check the stats he had earned. It was around five in the afternoon when he completed everything so he still had time before dinner with the kids.

After taking a shower, he opened his Character Panel to check the gains that he had received. Completing the two floors allowed him to level from 137 to 147 and his unused stats climbed from 52 to 62 while his unused skill points climbed from 74 to 84.

Mark knew that he should use the stats and skill points but he would wait until he reached level 150 since that would be the level when the new skills were supposed to appear. He hoped since he wasn’t truly sure. After he was done checking his system panel he checked the time and it was six in the evening so he went home to his family.

When he exited his bedroom, the kids who were playing with their toys ran towards him.

“Mark you’re back! Where have you been?” Isaac asked after hugging him.

“I told you. I went to my realm to study wizardry.”

“Did you go to the Oasis Lake?” Aaron asked.

After answering Aaron that he went someplace else, the kids then told him what they did during that day, and even Liriel managed to interject a sentence or two.

They said that the village had few kids and that the village kids were a bit too stupid to be invited to their space fleet.

Mark laughed and scolded the twins. He told the twins that it was normal since the villagers hadn’t seen any of the movies.

“Why didn’t the circus set up the theater tent?” Isaac asked.

“The circus leaders decided to forgo setting up the theater and the computer gaming tents in the small villages and towns and we would only set them up in large cities.”

After an hour of talking to the kids, Milena invited them for dinner. The food that Milena cooked with the help of Lisa and Norleen was delicious and Nedertu and Connor kept saying that they were so.

Milena whispered that Lisa and Connor seemed to be heading towards a relationship and that surprised him but he didn’t want to intrude on anyone’s privacy regarding relationships.

Nedertu then reminded Mark that they would leave the village the next day and since he was already aware of it, he just nodded.

In the next two days on the road, the circus didn’t encounter any issues but Milena informed him that the next stop that they would arrive at was also a small village and that they would also only stay there for a day.

Milena said that they should arrive in that small village around the afternoon and stay overnight and would leave the day after.

During those two days of travel, Mark spent the mornings diving into his dungeon and he managed to complete up level 47 dungeons.

From level 43 to 45, the dungeon was a cavern still and the enemies were a combination of red goblins, red kobolds, red gnolls, red trolls, and red orcs. The enemies were still easily defeated by Mark by a combination of Yoda the void dragon with some assistance from him.

Starting at level 46, the dungeon became very bizarre and mystical. The dungeon road was a wide road that was floating in the void. The road itself looked dilapidated since it gave the feeling that anytime the road would collapse into the void. That setting made Mark very nervous.

Mark knew that it wasn’t actually the void but a setting that the dungeon had set up but due to its very realistic design, the place made him a bit skittish. The void would then suddenly produce swathes of light like a comet appearing in different colors or rainbows suddenly traveling out of nowhere to bypass him. It was very beautiful but it made him feel tiny and alone.

That was the reason why he tried his best to complete the dungeons as soon as he could.
