Chapter 610 30
After killing the goblins, the Mages looted the body, taking the Mana Crystal of the goblins and the stone weapon.
When Calais gave them a look, the one who took the weapon sheepishly answered, "Maybe they are useful in some way?" the way the man said it like a question made it hard to believe it was his plan, but Ardent did not say anything about. If they wanted to take it, it's up to them.
With their incursion almost done, Ardent decided to take one more thing.
Putting a hand on the walls, he closed his eyes before finding what he wanted. Using a single Earth Shake, the wall crumble, revealing a large Mana Crystal.
Ardent did not need to order the other Mages when the two 1st Circle Mages carried the Mana Crystal.
"Let's get out of here."

When they come out, the guards and Mages almost mobbed the group if not for Ardent staring at them. Not wanting to look like a fool to a 3rd Circle Mage, they stopped, though they did question the groups, baring Ardent.
Ardent, not planning on explaining things, look at Calais, who sighed. The blonde man then explained what happened inside the 2nd floor.
"... that's what we found so far." Calais explained.
"Hhhmm, the difficulties did not spike, but that's just from a quick incursion. Master Ardent, how dangerous do you think the 2nd floor is and how many people should we send to harvest the Mana Crystal there with the less amount of casualties while not stretching out forces even more?" the leader of the outpost, a man in his thirties, asked.
Normally, he will not ask a youngster like Ardent, but viewing him like a regular youngster was not possible, as the young man in front of him was the first 3rd Circle Mage he ever seen.
"About five to seven 3rd Rank Aura User, or three to five 1st Circle Mages will do. Besides, the rich Mana in the 2nd floor will probably increase the strength of the Aura User and Mages. Probably raising their ranks." Ardent replied.
The outpost leader nodded. It's probably what everyone, from the chief and the elders, to the younger guards and Mages. None of them wished for a repeat of the attack.@@@@
"A week after, I will show them my true strength. Then, when I become a 5th Circle Mage, I will not need to hide it anymore."
With his progress, and the aid of the dungeon, Ardent guessed becoming a 5th Circle Mage will likely take him a few more weeks, the most likely timescale being 2 months.
He smiled at the thought, "By then, the village will not be attacked, or the attackers will face the retaliation of a 5th Circle Mage."
He frowned as a new thought formed in his head, "But, those greedy fools might try their luck." he did not want that to happen.
"And, they might even turn the entire village into a hostage situation." that's another idea that will now not leave his head.
"Uuhh, in the end, the village being, a village made it weak and an easy target. The best way to rectify it is by getting the guards and Mages to become stronger."
It will probably take some time, but with the dungeon, it will happen. And probably shorter than what many would expect.
"For now thought, I should focus on myself." he looked at the gathered goblins, which he will call goblin guards, with the name likely changed in the future.
A smile make its way on his face, as shadow swirled underneath the Mage.
"Thank you for applying to become a test subject," Ardent exclaimed,
"Let see how long you can last." his blue eyes soon become the last thing the monsters ever see.

Cross looked outside the inn he and the rest of Slurom Village's delegates were staying at.
"I wonder how the village is doing."
