<< Congratulation you have gained the title Mushroom Farmer (F)

You have killed at least one mushroom

Increased probability for mushrooms to drop something.

>>

This title was something any herbalist or adventurer would get sooner or later and it wasn't really worth anything so Ivan simply closed the prompt. He instead focused on the two halves of the mushroom.

Between them there was a small green stone in which a spark seemed to dance around.

"It can't be that I am so lucky, can it? ", Ivan said to himself when he saw this stone.

But inspecting him showed that he really was so luck and got a Herb Space Rock from the first monster he had killed in this dungeon.

<< Herb Space Rock (Low Grade)

A mysterious type of rock that contains a space in it, that can be used to grow herbs in it.

>>

At the same time he picked it up there was a quest update notification. He then took another look at the quest, he had gotten before entering the dungeon.

<< Quest: Entrance fare

To enter the Herb Garden you have to pay the Herbalist Guild.

Task: Collect 5 x Herb Space Rock (Low Grade)

or Collect 1 x Herb Space Rock (Middle Grade)

You have currently 1 Low Grade Herb Space Rock.

>>

Well it wasn't like he could keep the Rock, but having found one so soon he could be hopeful to find some more. Maybe he would even be able to keep one.

"Good Job."

After picking up he didn't forgot to praise Vlada since she was the one who did the work. As an answer the bat, that had once again shrunk, rubbed his cheek with its head.

"Come let's continue."

With that the two of them continued on. Sometimes they met mushrooms, sometimes some of the grass tried to slash Ivan. But there was nothing dangerous until they came to a forest.

Ivan had read that the forests were one of the most dangerous terrain in this dungeon, since it was easy for monsters to hide and the amount of them was huge too. As such he was careful when entering. As preparation he already readied his flame shield which had worked excellent against all the plant monsters they had met until now.

Vlada too landed, because the branches of the trees would interfere with her flying.

Then they entered the forest.

They weren't even five meters into it, when a vine shot at them from one side while something else fell down on them from one of the branches above.

They hurriedly coordinated and Vlada shot towards the thing falling down, while Ivan rushed towards the vine, while pulling out his sword.

He wasn't able to cover much ground, before the vine reached him. Without any hesitation she stabbed towards his head. He used his sword to parry the stab and the shock from it nearly wrestled the sword out of his hand.

"Damn.", Ivan couldn't help but exclaim in shock, when he felt the strength of the vain.

Even though his parry had thrown it back at least five meters it attacked again without the slightest pause.

This time he didn't try to parry but to evade but he was to slow and the vine managed to take out some of his flesh. Luckily it had targeted his torso this time, so it was still acceptable.

"Hm, I can't dodge and I can't parry. What am I going to do?"

Having no other idea he tried to use his flame shield to reduce the strength of the vine's attack, but it wasn't strong enough to do more than slightly char the vine.

After the second parry his hand now hurt so much that he had a hard time holding his sword.

"The flame shield is just to weak, so the effect isn't good enough."

His mind worked at maximum speed, in order to find a solution to his ordeal. He didn't have time to check on Vlada, but through their connection he could feel that she too was fighting and wouldn't be able to come to his help.

"If only the shield was stronger.", thinking about that gave him an idea. When he had first created the flame shield he had thought that it should cover him completely, but was that really the case?

What if he condensed the shield to a smaller area?

Not having much time to ponder about it, since the vine once again shot towards him, he could only try it.

Luckily it was relatively easy for him to alter the skill since he had developed it himself. Of course he had incorporated knowledge and ideas from others, but at the core it was his spell.

He created the shield as usual and then compressed it so that it only had a diameter of about 20 centimeter. This process was quite slow and the vine had nearly reached him when he finished.

Sadly for him the shield was at the wrong place and he didn't have the time to move it.

He let out a scream of pain, when the vine shot through his hip. After recoiling it left a fist sized hole in him from which blood streamed out like a waterfall.

He hurriedly swallowed a pill to stop the bleeding and start the regeneration of his flesh, since only the power of his HP wasn't enough for the job.

"This won't work. I am way to slow at creating and controlling.", he didn't disperse the flame shield even when the vine had hit him.

When the vine which now had a red color at the tip once again shot towards him, he used his mental energy to move the compressed flame shield into its way.

Because of his lack of practice and experience with the compressed shield he didn't manage to move it directly into its way, but the vein still brushed against it.

As soon as it touched the shield a burnt smell was released and the vein swerved away from the shield. As a result it missed him too.
