Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 797. Uncle Olaf

”What should we do now?” Mike asked into the round.

It had been two hours since the boss just keeled over and died. In the meantime, Mina had managed to keep everyone alive. Once Bulko had recovered enough health and mana, he healed Fin who in turn helped the others recover once she was awake. Lyxiss also woke up somewhere in between. She was hurt, but her unconsciousness stemmed from the mana deficiency after casting a meteor.

They sat in a circle and ate special meals prepared by Link, to recover their fatigue and other resources. Now that everyone was awake and recovering, Mike saw it fit to talk about the partyʼs next step.

”I want to leave,” Lyxiss stated openly. ”We lack preparations for this kind of dungeon and we barely beat this times boss. But most importantly, I really dislike this place. Itʼs dirty, itʼs dangerous and the mobs are disconcerting to the max,” it finally broke out of Lyxiss.

”I also want to go home. Cleaning magic is good and all, but I want a bath,” Mina spoke languidly, stretching her limbs.

”Alright then. Since we donʼt know whether it will work here, we should all use the skill at the same time,” Mike concluded the discussion.

At his words, the other four were stumped for a moment. They had totally forgotten, that Home Call may not even work. Lyxiss stared at the party leader with big tearful eyes, that clearly blamed him for reminding her of the possibility that they might be stuck here until they cleared the dungeon ...or died.

”On three. Three, two, one
