Chapter 83 - 83. Return Journey
After resting for more than a day the party had all gathered around to prepare to travel back. They had no idea how long they had been lost in the catacombs.
They had advanced a significant amount of levels from the quests and hadn't stopped seeing notifications of defeated undead until just last night. It seemed the evil consuming flames were eating away at the swarms near the center for some time.
The fruits of their labor were unprecedented. They did not know the chaos they had cause Clara in these days. However as they cleaned up and started their journey back to the guild they thought on their newfound levels and experiences.
Walker
Jack of all trades system

He had many gears to boost mana and recover mana and had gained a new one the silver skull ring which detected low level undead. This item everyone in the party received and it would definitely help against undead swarms in the adventuring career. Walker had also gained a new skill elemental fusion which he was contemplating experimenting with once he returned to their mansion. Making use of the training ground to learn other elemental spells would be the best move. He had also learned a spell call evil consuming flame which was an incredible help in dealing with large swarms of undead.
Su

Su had also gained much through these days. She had truly seen how important her role was as the main defender in the party. She had gained a poison resistance skill that would really put her above other defenders. She knew her weakness was agility and had put some of her skill points in to it when she leveled up. She had also acquired a scroll with a master level healing spell inscribed upon it. She knew it came about through nefarious means hundreds of years ago. The ancient undead lich had experimented and tortured someone for this very thing. Yet she knew this may solve the problem that haunted her mother her entire life. Once she completed the healing Su would be able to give all of her energy to the party and pursue their goals and dreams. The very thought made her heart beat stronger.
Remey

Agi-32
Mana-27
Remey had learned a great amount as well. Some more important than others. She had learned when to speak out and when not to in the face of immortal king. She knew she was powerful but no one could stop it from getting in to her head. She grew more accustomed to working with the other party members. When faced with death she remembered not that she should escape but that she should find a way to survive until the end. This lead her to pick a very rare arcane silk which could be made in to incredible clothing. The party could all benefit from having stronger defenses and lighter gear. This would increase their battle prowess even further.
Gil
Ranger system
Level 14
Title: hero

Gil had been an integral part of finding a safe path in the catacombs. The party had leaned on him to act as a scout and spot traps. He'd gained himself a new bow which allowed him to fire magical arrows made of his elemental affinity. From this he learned he had a wind magical affinity. Consequently this was the best affinity for someone who uses the bow. It had been said that even the wind would guide their arrows to the target. Due to his position when hunting in the square he had learned how to watch the whole party and react to danger. This put him right next to Walker sometimes assisting in more plans. He had more or less shown he could stand as second in command of the group. He'd even become pretty good at snapping Walker out of his thoughts and bringing him back to reality. His thought to ask of history books from immortal king would prove a huge boon to the entire kingdom and not only their test. His critical thinking was expanding as well.
Midnight
Skeletal dragon/ black crystal flame dragon system
Title: hero
Level: 8
Exp: 10260/102400
Hp-150
Def-100
Mdef-100

Agi-80
Mana-100
Midnight had shown an uncanny ability to sneak up on her prey. This was something she was born with but learned to truly exploit against the undead. She had shown the others her father's blood line unintentionally by munching on bones and eventually showing off her wings. The surprise of showing her wings was enough to send walker in to a spiral however she also demonstrates the change to her adult scales. This was surely the start of her growth spurt towards a young adult dragon. She'd gained condensed understanding from immortal king in both death and darkness which would strengthen her bloodline. She would consume this once safe at the mansion and most likely sleep for days to digest it. The party could only guess why amazing changes would occur.
They all stood before the kingdoms gate after some days traveling. They had all spoken and shown off their new levels. They found counting the zombies, skeletons, corpse spiders, undead rats, undead golem, and other random undead they'd defeated to be impossible. They also had faith that even if they had defeated zero they now had enough within Walker's inventory to get them to the next tier. They had made it home. The feelings of relief washed over them. Soon they were all smiling as they stepped forward. The sun was high in the sky and they had a meeting with the adventurers guild. They couldn't wait to surprise Clara and maybe even cause a little commotion by telling guild master ibis about the immortal king.
