Having dealt with the formalities in the guild, Victor and the others went to the dungeon. On leaving the guild, they noticed a lot of looks assessing them.
- "Another group of newcomers. Let's see what they show us"
"I heard Loki's family went on an expedition a week ago. Most likely they went out to train newcomers in the family. I saw a lot of unfamiliar faces among the main group"
-"They say they saw some strange monster on the middle floors. Several adventurers have already been killed by him. Now 3-4 level and lower adventurers are not allowed on the middle floors. What is the guild thinking about anyway?"
Victor heard some of the adventurers' conversations and became curious about this monster. This monster definitely can't be the one that destroyed the Astraea family. Otherwise, there would be no rumors about the monster at all. After all, if everyone is dead, who will report this news?
However, Victor did not think much about it. He is unlikely to reach the middle floors quickly. Now the main thing is to get to the 10th floor as quickly as possible.
-"Master as we agreed recently. Basically we will be the support, but all the battles will be carried out by you. As you said, it is useless for us to fight monsters with servants, and we are already pumped to the maximum. So don't be afraid and fight with all your heart! And we'll cover for you" Lancer Cu said with a smile.
"Don't worry. If you want, you can go to the lower floors. I myself will be perfectly engaged in the support of the master. After all, Archers have always been indispensable on the battlefield, not like Lancers" Archer Emiya said, looking at Lancer Cu.
- "Hey red, what are you hinting at now? Do you think I'm some kind of cannon fodder?" Lancer was already ready to use his spear for its intended purpose.
- "And you think pretty fast once you guessed it yourself. Apparently the role of cannon fodder has already become your routine" - Two daggers appeared in Archer's hands and he stood in a fighting stance.
The situation got a little heated, but then Li Shuwen intervened.
"I think we've wasted enough time here, gentlemen. I hope you will show your character better in the battle with monsters, otherwise I will teach you to respect your elders" - Li has already strained his fist in preparation for a blow. It feels like the area around his fist is shaking a little.
Archer and Lancer immediately calmed down. Archer, knowing the legend of Li Shuwen, knows for sure that it is not worth contacting him. Lancer felt such an aura only from his teacher. And he was afraid of his teacher, to put it mildly.
Victor, seeing this situation, decided to divide everyone into two teams. One follows him, the other goes to the middle and lower floors.
Upper floors: Victor, Mash, Da Vinci, Lancelot, Bedivere, Emiya, Cu Caster, Danzou.
Middle-lower floors: Lancer and Alter Cu, Ozymandias, Nitocris, Li Shuwen and Muramasa.
Victor put Li Shuwen in charge of the second group. Although Muramasa also came up as a leader, but he definitely won't be able to separate Lancer and Archer, and perhaps he himself will get into a fight with them.
Before the separation, Da Vinci gave each of them a communication bracelet. At any moment, Victor and others from the first group can contact the second group.
And the most important thing is that the communication signal is not jammed. And having a long-distance connection in a dungeon is a huge advantage.
....
Finally entering the dungeon, the first monsters that the group saw were goblins. As Victor and the others agreed, only Victor will fight. Victor chose an ordinary sword as his first weapon. Although it looks light, but holding it in his hands, it seemed to Victor that he weighed two or three times more.
Although Victor was nervous, to his surprise, he quickly calmed down and decided to start his first one-on-one battle with a goblin.
Victor made a normal swing with his sword at the goblin, but due to the low attack speed, the goblin was able to dodge and attack Victor.
The goblin almost managed to wound Victor, but before his dagger reached the target, he was thrown off by Victor's leg.
The goblin was a little confused and tried to get up, but Victor's sword was already hanging over him.
Victor hit right into the goblin's core and it immediately evaporated. Yes, most or almost all monsters have magic cores as a source of life. Without them, the monsters will instantly die.
The battle that lasted less than a minute has already made Victor sweat. Even with all the skill bonuses. And it was just one goblin. What about a whole group that will attack you at the same time?
Victor quickly gathered his thoughts and went on to look for monsters on the floor.
Mash, Da Vinci and the others looked at Victor's fight with different thoughts.
Mash tried to restrain herself from joining the fight for the sake of protecting Victor and also admired his fast fight.
Da Vinci was thinking how to make a mystic code that would be useful to both the master and the servants at the same time.
Lancelot decided at the end of the day to give a couple of tips and lessons on how to handle a sword to Victor.
Bedivere and Custer discussed which monsters would be best suited for Victor's training.
Emiya and Danzou scouted the floors in case of unforeseen circumstances .
....
After 30 minutes of the battle, Victor finally ran out of steam. As a result, he was able to kill 19 goblins and 2 kobolds.
Unlike goblins who had daggers, these kobolds held stone clubs. And blocking blunt attacks with a sword is quite problematic, so Victor had to dodge and wait for the moment of attack.
After killing the last monster, Victor lay down on the ground and tried to collect as much air as possible into his lungs. He had never been so tired before. However, although he quickly ran out of steam, he received a lot of praise from his servants. Especially from Mash and Lancelot.
Masha was glad that her master was all right. And Lancelot wanted to do Victor's training as soon as possible. But all this remained for the evening before going to bed.
After some more time, Victor has already fully mastered the tactics of fighting monsters on the initial floors. The speed with which Victor studied amazed everyone.
At the end of the day, Victor went to bed after training with Lancelot.
