BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 Mana Potions
"What was that!?" Alice asked out of curiosity. She only saw Vance process some herbs and then mix them with water before pouring the contents into a vial and drinking it.
"That was a mana potion. It will fill out mana back up as needed. I have enough herbs to make quite a bit so we should have enough to clear this dungeon at the very least." Vance was very glad for his old habits. Luckily he did not need to crafter everything by hand. He only needed to have everything in his inventory. But due to the amount he was crafting, it still took an hour.
"Here are four hundred for both of you." Vance opened a trade window with Alice and Sally and handed over four hundred mana potions each, keeping two hundred for himself.
"Why are you giving us so many?" Sally asked in confusion.
"Because I have mana reduction passive from one of my titles which makes casting a fireball nothing to me. So two hundred will last me a while." Vance explained.
"I see…. Isn\'t that kind of cheap?" Sally stuck her tongue out and drank a potion to regain her mana. Alice also did the same.
"Cheap or not, it will keep us alive for the time being. If you are ready, let\'s go." Vance did not want to waste too much time. In fact, they should have already made it to the first mini boss but these batgoons had become a problem due to their numbers.
This time after repairing the walls, they easily took down batgoons left and right. Even as they continued to flood into the small space they were using to capture them, they were quickly being killed with the supply of mana potions they had.
"They are thinning out. I do not think there are many more." Alice noticed that fewer and fewer batgoons were flowing through the hole they had to let them into the box.
"Okay, when they thin out a bit more, we will take the walls down and finally finish them off. But do not enter the room just yet. I fear there is a boss or a unique elite monster inside, which will not be an easy thing to deal with." Elite Uniques were so rare that you are more likely to get a god weapon drop at level one than to meet with one but here he was about to meet such a monster on his first run of the Cave of Wonders. He felt it was quite funny, actually, almost as if the game was looking to kill him by putting him through all these trials.
First, he had to kill the father and fun of his village. Then protected a princess, which resulted in fighting a demon. And now he was faced with what could be a unique elite, a flying one at that! He felt slightly depressed but excited at the same time. He was hoping for a rare sword to get rid of this stupid iron sword that was much too weak for him at this point.
"Vance, only three came this time no more!" Sally yelled out.
"Alright, destroy the earth walls you put up, and get ready to fight these last few batgoons!" With a few more spells, they quickly ended the barrage of batgoons. Unfortunately, they did not respawn as Vance was hopping, but the experience he got from this was quite good.
"Vance, what level did you reach? I got to level 24." Alice asked as she hopped over to him.
"I got to level 26. It seems you two have finally caught up. Sally, you should be around level 25, right?" Vance was glad they were able to catch up, but now they will be a level or two behind due to how close the levels are. But it was better than having them both ten levels behind all the time.
"Yeah, I just hit level 25 on that last bat. I am currently setting up my stats." Sally did not wish to leave any abilities left for later, so she had been upping her stats every chance she got.
"You are right. I should do the same. I now have 50 points, so I will stick them all into intelligence."

Now that his attack power and magic power were about the same, he could finally feel a bit more at ease. He wished he had done that before, but now that things have come down to it, this was the right choice to make. He knew it was best practice to keep these two stats even at later levels, or you would not be able to deal as much damage, but he never really thought about them at lower levels until his life was truly on the line like today. One screw up and he could have easily died.
"Take a break. We will wait to enter the room. There is a big guy inside…." Vance looked up at the ceiling that was now dimly lit with glow rocks to see a huge bat hanging there with its eyes closed.
"Vance, we will be able to kill that thing. I mean…" Alice looked at the huge bat with a worried expression.
"Yes, and maybe no. We will have to find out. If we can not, we will retreat as fast as possible and only concentrate on healing and exit the dungeon for one hour to let it reset. If we can, we will be able to gain a lot of rewards from killing this bat. We can only try, but I promise we will not die, not with our angel\'s tears guarding us."
