Chapter 89: Clearing the First Stage
Chapter 89: Clearing the First Stage
The swarm of four-winged bats swept over Jack like a tornado, continuously tearing at the exposed flesh on his body.
“Can you still hold on?” Kamiyu shouted.
Jack swung his sword to indicate he was fine. Why didn’t he speak? Because the density of the four-winged bats was too high—the moment Jack opened his mouth, these volleyball-sized bats would desperately try to force their way inside.
However, Jack’s means of attack were limited. His greatsword swung too slowly; before he could even strike a four-winged bat, they would dodge away.
He had been hacking away for a long time without hitting a single bat.
“Use it like a fly swatter—smack them!” Kamiyu reminded him.
Jack’s Dragon Slayer Blade was as wide as two palms. If he swung it with enough force, he might be able to stun or even kill a few bats.
After following her advice, Jack’s monster-killing efficiency immediately improved. He would smack the monsters down, then stomp on them, splattering their blood and continuously triggering the 5x Defense Power affix on his Black-Scaled Snake Armor.
From then on, the four-winged bats could no longer harm him.
Next, it was Kamiyu’s time to shine.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Kamiyu’s Demon-Repelling Holy Flame fired five rapid shots each time, blasting apart the swarm of four-winged bats above Jack’s head.
The bat blood drenched Jack, “bat-blood-baptizing” him and continuously extending the duration of his 5x Defense Power effect.

She kept firing, and her experience kept rising, skyrocketing with each shot.
The “Slaughter Echo” of the Crimson Earth began to drive Kamiyu into a frenzy once more. Combined with the debuff effect of the Valley of the Deathly Echo, it further stimulated her mind, pushing her into an even more aggressive killing mode.
“Hahahaha, this feels amazing! Killing feels so good! I don’t even need to aim—just firing randomly can kill monsters.” Kamiyu’s heart pounded rapidly in her chest.
She felt like she could kill even with her eyes closed.
Her experience points soared upward, while materials clattered down around her.
In her frenzied shooting, Kamiyu discovered another new Bug: if she stored the gun in her hand into her Storage and then took it out again, the ammunition would be fully reloaded.
The advantage of this was saving time on reloading, but the downside was that she had to re-aim.
However, even when holding the gun normally, reloading still required re-aiming.
Now, Kamiyu was having even more fun. She alternated between using the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame and the NTW-40.
At a distance of five meters, she didn’t even need to aim—she simply raised her weapon and fired from the hip.
Although the Sniper Rifle was slow, it could fire fragmentation ammunition, comparable to a Machine Cannon. A single shot would blast apart a large swarm of four-winged bats, creating a massive gap in the bat swarm around Jack.
“Hey, you hit me!” Jack shouted during a brief lull.
The fragmentation from that last shot had splashed onto Jack, instantly reducing his Defense Durability by 10%. If that Attack Power had been reflected back onto Kamiyu, it would have been disastrous. Terrified, he quickly canceled the Hit Detection for his Thorns Reflection.
“Hahahaha, sorry, sorry!” Kamiyu put away this weapon of mass destruction.
She continued using the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame, employing tactical reloading techniques to ensure it started with five bullets. Once the ammunition was spent, she would store it in her Storage.
After entering the storage, the system was tricked into recognizing that there were initially five rounds to be taken out again. Once taken out, the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame would have five bullets again, allowing them to continuously exploit this bug.
“Hahahaha, no need to reload, I’m even faster now.”
The sound of a gunshot “bang,” followed by the sound of chambering “click,” repeated five times. Once emptied, it was placed back into the storage and taken out again.
Taking it out again, aiming, and firing—starting at 2 seconds, then 1.5 seconds, 1 second, and finally stabilizing at 0.5 seconds.
Kamiyu’s experience points weren’t just rising steadily; they were now skyrocketing rapidly.
Watching the blood mist and blood flowers flying everywhere, along with the scattered limbs and fragments covering the ground, Kamiyu didn’t feel disgusted or terrified. Instead, she believed she needed to kill even more.
With the final “bang” of the gunshot, the swarm of four-winged bats was completely wiped out.
【Experience Points +100】 *523
【Level 10: 54,765/100,000】
“Wow, I killed over 500 four-winged bats?” Kamiyu counted her gains, speaking in surprise.
“I leveled up,” Jack said. “So, by forming a team to grind mobs, I can also gain experience.”
This was a common practice in the Invincible Guild’s newcomer squad: letting newcomers level up quickly under the guidance of veterans.
Although Kamiyu heard the calm tone in Jack’s voice, she noticed the slight upward curve of his lips. Leveling up meant he had grown stronger again, and with his defense power increasing by another level, he could continue protecting those he wanted to protect.
Kamiyu hopped a few steps forward, stepping into the pile of flesh and blood fragments. At Jack’s feet lay the shattered remains of four-winged bats, most of which were her handiwork.
With bat blood drenching his head, Jack didn’t even need to swing his sword to swat flies to maintain his fivefold defense power. He could simply stand there, continuously using his Taunting Battle Roar.
Kamiyu noticed some light blue crystalline objects on the ground and grew excited. “This is Magic Crystal Ore,” she said.
She pushed aside the fragments, picked up a piece of blue Magic Crystal Ore the size of a small stone, shook off the blood clinging to it, and said, “The Magic Crystal Ore I’ve been dreaming of can be obtained just by killing these trash mobs.”
She quickly stored the Magic Crystal Ore in her storage and called out to Jack, “Don’t just stand there; hurry up and help collect them.”
In reality, these weren’t trash mobs. These were Level 12 four-winged bats. When they moved in groups, their power surpassed even that of a Level 15 Dungeon Boss.
Even wearing normal armor, one wouldn’t last half a breath under the frenzied bites of a bat swarm.
Only the Legendary Tier, max-roll attribute armor crafted by Kamiyu, paired with exceptional defense affixes and Jack’s defense talent, could withstand such an onslaught.
Ordinary squads facing such bat swarm monsters could only flee. Even first-rate squads could only rely on high-level mages’ Fireball Spells to barely hold on, fighting from a distance.
Only Kamiyu and Jack, using this “simple and unadorned” easy tactic, managed to break through this first barrier.
“Let’s tally up the Magic Crystal Ore,” Kamiyu said.
“An entire 10 kilograms, wow. 50 grams of Magic Crystal Ore can produce one Magic Bullet, so 10 kilograms is 10,000 grams, which converts to 200 rounds. Oh ho, I can keep farming this,” Kamiyu said excitedly.
Her thinking was spot on—this Instance Dungeon refreshed immediately after being Cleared, so in theory, the more times you Clear it, the more resources you obtain.
