Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

884  Chapter 884- Breaking The Allied Clans (4)

All of them were in their guards and none of them spoke more than needed. A change that was not there before.

"Is that so?" Yverza spoke a few short words before turning around to leave.

 And so one by one all the allied army teleported to the next floor— the 91st floor, the place where the fate of the allied clans would be decided once and for all.

.

.

Main floor… seating on the head seat, Simon gazed at Bea next to him and ordered. "All traps have been set, sent in the Chloro Arsenalis, Antlion Giant Larvae and Three Headed Boss Frog. We will make our stand here".

Chloro Arsenalis was one of the few mutated monsters that was a product of science and magic blending together. It was a major breakthrough for the monster research department that Coleus was incharge of and was something that both Prime and Coleus had worked on.

With their extreme stealth and high firepower, they were a force to reckon with.

Since Simon had decided to make the 91st floor the place where they would make their last stand, he chose to reveal some of his trump cards such as the Chloro Aresenalis and the others who were responsible for defeating the level 600+ beings on the previous floors.

 Bea quietly nodded her head and left to carry out his orders. As one of the few people among his subordinates who is able to use space magic, it was upon her to bring in those monsters.

After Bea left, Irene shifted her attention from the windows depicting the scene on the 91st floor before placing it on the man next to her. The man she loved and the one who won her heart.

"How confident are you?" she spoke in a tone that only the two of them could hear.

Simon looked at Irene and grinned confidently. "Very much" he answered.

"I'll still need a number"…

 "100 percent". There was no lie or falseness in his voice or in his eyes. Only pure confidence and optimism that was a result of having no doubts in one's strength, oozed from the man.

Seeing his outlook, Irene didn't comment much and shifted her attention back to the screens.

At this moment, the people inside the hall were intensely discussing as they stared at the windows depicting the scene on the 91st floor.

"There is still a lot of delay and coordinate lag with the teleport gates. I can improve it, if you allow me to research it" Prime commented, his body lighting up with numerous colours as he excitedly looked at the numerous things he could tinker with.

"There are also many imperfections in the traps and special areas which I set. It was only after I saw the invaders activate it, that I realised there is a difference between the way I think and the former" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fey mused. She was finally learning from her mistakes and what better way for her to improve than to gain some on field experience?

As she saw her traps being avoided or being seen through she realised that she could not think unilaterally. If she wants to capture the invaders in her traps, she must learn to think like them and outsmart them in their game.

"Hmm.. Hmmm… great… so if it's just a quarter of the crystal it brings this effect. Then what if I mash it with other crystals? Let's see… the proportion of 1:5:3 works and if also throw the first and second generation breeding in the mix"...

"No, this way the power gets too diluted. I see, I can use the Variant selection for this one. Great, thanks to the invaders I'm getting a lot of great ideas"

Scribbing on his clipboard, was none other than Coleus. He was at this moment completely immersed in the scene displayed on the window as he hurriedly jutted down notes.

His lips opened and closed uttering words like a chant. He was so absorbed in his thing that he forgot he was uttering his thoughts out loud.

It was not only Prime, Fey and Coleus who were learning from their mistakes as they watched the invaders advance through the floors but every single one of them seated inside the hall… including Simon.

He was able to get by so far thanks to the ample experience as a game developer in his previous life. However, such knowledge alone wasn't enough to carry him forward to the future.

 As he saw the invaders powering through the special areas and finding loopholes in his floor designs, dungeon mechanisms and even special effects, he realised that he still had much more to learn.

The knowledge he gathered in his previous life was just the building blocks for his dungeon. How to make it work and make his dungeon an impenetrable fortress in the future was something that he had to learn through experience.

As for others, they too were learning as they watched the scene playing out in front of them.

For a while, the entire Main hall was swept up in an atmosphere of self improvement and learning.

 Seeing this change, Irene couldn't help but smile. This kind of transformation was only something that Simon could bring. His infectious attitude of always trying to improve himself had also caught onto his subordinates making them want to try to better themselves.

This was a good change that not just anyone can bring. It takes a leader who is revered and recognised by his subordinates who actively trust him with their lives and want to become his strength.

Only a leader like that can bring on such a change. And Simon was one of them.

...

 While a profound change occurred inside the Main hall, the situation on the 91st floor also took a drastic turn.

Having been randomly teleported and scattered in a floor as vast as the 91st floor, the allied clans found themselves in the same situation once again. Blood flowed and many casualties occurred on the allied clans side.
