After looking into my Stats I realized my Mana had ramped all the way to 53k. Is this why I suddenly felt like I had gained a lot more of energy inside of me? It is amazing how leveling up works. The instant enhancement to everything really feels surreal even when I am a ghost right now, which should be plenty of surreal. My other stats had also increased, with my Magic going to 55k, meaning I got my magic to deal even more damage, while 50% of it will reduce damage from magic attacks directed towards me. I am slowly building myself to become even more of a Magic Tank, it seems!
And well, the other stats…? Well, my Agility went up nicely, it is my third biggest stat after Magic and MP. And then there is HP which is pretty okay. Though if I ever receive too much direct damage I can die very quickly and easily, especially physical damage. Thankfully I am immune to it unless it is enhanced with some magic, which in such case can be slightly reduced with my own Magic Stat, but it will still deal tons of damage to me…
Ah, well, I am way better than in those times I began my adventure as a Ghost girl though. And lastly, there is my Attack and Defense, both are almost equally the same, and they're pretty low seeing my current Rank, which means they're my lowest stats and also my weakness. Nonetheless I am still strong enough to punch anything below C Rank to death, I guess. This is why I still use my Cursed Sword and the Axe I have. It is nice that they've been leveling up individually as well, both are incredible weapons for now.<sub>.</sub>
However, things are changing now! Why? Because there is a sea of loot right in front of us. There are hundreds of items floating a few centimeters over the floor, shining brightly and dazingly. It was just like a dream come true. I've always dreamed of seeing such a beautiful scenery in my entire life, and my previous one in Earth as well!
This is way too joyful! Without realizing it, I screamed and jumped straight towards the loot, pushing it all into my Inventory until I ended cleaning the entire floor from both slime and dropped items. The wonderfulness of Dungeons is that they drop items! I have forgotten that because it has been AGES since I visited one.
"Gaaah! So many items… This is getting hard to sort out…" I sighed.<sub></sub>
"Indeed, maybe we should leave it for later. Remember that we are in a hurry. We should complete this dungeon as fast as possible. The other items that we get can be sorted out and analyzed after everything is done." Said Lucifer.
"Though I would like to see if there's a new bow there…" Said Emeraldine. "Maria, did you had to just take everything for you?"
"S-Sorry… I lose control of myself." I said. I quickly began to look through the inventory and saw three new bows in there. One was Fire Slime Bow, Lightning Slime Bow, and Metal Slime King Bow, they all looked strong and had elemental effects Emeraldine lacked. It was going to be hard for her to choose between the three. I showed them to her and her eyes began to shine brightly quickly after.<sub></sub>
"You may pick any of you want… Actually all three are yours, love." I said.
"Oooh! So many…" Said Emeraldine. "T-Three Bows… Erm, what should I even pick though?! One can conjure fire, another lightning, and this one is a Metal Slime King Bow, it can… create metallic arrows! But my spirits have a hard time merging with metals, so that's not a good idea."

"It's a good arrow for more traditional bowmen that don't use magic but Bow Techniques…" I said. "But it has a lot of attack power compared to the other two… Nonetheless, you're mostly a magic damage dealer, so probably pick the lightning bow. It is strong, fast, and burns just as much as the fire bow."
"Yeah, I thought the same… I'll pick this one, it seems the Spirits find it acceptable. Fire is not that good with the Nature Spirit, but it seems that Lightning is okay." Said Emeraldine. Her powers were based in the help of her spirits, so she had to take into consideration their opinion at the time of choosing equipment and so on. There were sometimes items that didn't had compatibility with them, and she wouldn't be able to bring out all their power through them.
At the end, she told me to save the fire and the metal bow for later. It was possible to either sell them off for a nice sum of money or dismantle them into raw materials that can be used to upgrade the Lightning Bow if we find a good blacksmith, and we got a pair of talented ones back in the village.
"I really don't want to annoy you girls but… we should hurry." Said Lucifer, he was very impatient despite being alive now. Shouldn't he be a bit tired now that he's not an Undead anymore? Well, whatever's the case, he was right, we had to hurry.
"B-But I want something too!" Said Partner, moving to my side.
"A-Alright, what is it?" I asked.
"My spear… I don't want to replace it but is there a small shield? Or some light armor? Maybe some accessories!" She said.
"Yeah there's a lot! Well… Let's see…" I said.
"You cut it out! Putting a few pieces of scrap over your body won't make that much of a difference against high-rank monsters, let's go for now!" Said Lucifer. "There's an incredibly strong presence coming from the bottom of the dungeon, which is oddly similar to mine… I don't know what's there, but the Dungeon might had used my remains to create a new and strong dragon monster… We have to quickly slay it before it grows any stronger."
