The Strongest Wizard

Come On Y'all. Step Right Up And Don't Be Shy...!

26th December 1018 / 2018 2048hrs

After the spoils were gathered in their respective groups, the party members looked on, not with greed, but with looks of stupendous and delight. They were ecstatic that they were able to receive such a bountiful harvest from a single spoil once the HELLISH MODE BOSS had been defeated.

I looked at the pieces of armour and decided to INSPECT and then DISTRIBUTE the loot to the guys. This Dungeon Quest was unique; if we have 12 members in a party, there would be 12 different items to be dropped. However, since we only have 8 members, I saw that there are 8 pieces of armour and equipment for the rest of them, including me. After checking those things out, I discovered that there was none for me but rather, for the rest of the party members instead. The skill books, tomes, scrolls and recipes would definitely fall into my hands without much questions from the rest of the party members.

"Here is the Bronzed Band of Binding Vengeance, which I believe would be for ShadowDancer. Here you go, you may replace the sash around your waist and adorn this instead. Its +10 Dexterity, +12 Agility for you to add on to your current statistics."

ShadowDancer, the Rogue / Assassin was delighted to receive the Belt and immediately replaced the sash he was wearing and stashed the old one away to be traded with the NPC merchants.

"Alright, the next one would be Footguards of Ancient Warlords, and I guess DragonFire should be the one that should be receiving this. This is only for Ranger / Archer Class and not for Rogue / Assassin Class. Here you go, it would add +10 Agility and +10 Damage to your attributes."

Dragonfire was so happy that she was literally squealing with delight. Her old boots of +2 Agility was tossed aside, and she wore the Footguards of Ancient Warlords, and it fitted her nicely...!

It was as if everyone was receiving an early Christmas present...!

"Snowball, you're next. Here's a Hailstorm Copper Wall Shield to replace your wooden buckler. It has +15 Defence and +12 Resistance to all Elements. Not bad...! It should be better than your splintered buckler."

Snowball was happy that he was brimming with tears of joy. A good shield not only protects him but will tank the enemy from penetrating his first line of defence. It was made of Copper, but it was better than wood and slightly inferior to Bronze. But with the added attributes, he would be able to tackle any BOSS anytime...!

"HAH...! Here's one for you too, Crusader...! A Promised Vest of Serenity, made of studded leather that is much better than the low-level leather armour that you are using right now. It has +15 Constitution and +12 Dexterity. Here you go, mate...!"

I handed the Vest to Crusader, who was a Guardian, and he was delighted to have a replacement chest piece since his own was unnamed and was picked up from a low-level monster during his previous grinding. He was giggling to himself as he took the vest and inspected the quality. It was way superior to the ones that he had owned.

"WarPriestess, I guessed this would be for you. Here you go, Grips of Binding Power, the gauntlet that would add +15 Intelligence and +15 Wisdom. At least your Mana would not get depleted so fast in the future."

I handed the gauntlets to WarPriestess who played as a Healer with no offence but as back end support for all. Somehow, I knew that a healer would be able to incur damage if they were to cast healing on the Undead as it gave them a reverse effect.

"Here you go, PuppetMaster. A brand new pauldron to replace your own. Unholy Mantle of the Sky. There is also a +10 Constitution and +10 Wisdom, and very soon you would be able to raise the dead and have an Undead Army to support your cause."

PuppetMaster received the gauntlet with glee and immediately put it on as he does not have a gauntlet in the first place...!

"Here is a robe especially for Wizard and Mage. The Timeworn Padded Cloak. Here you go, MageHunter. May your future endeavour be blessed with this cloth robe. It has +10 Damage for all attributes +10 Wisdom for all elements. Cool, isn't it?"

I handed the cloak to MageHunter, and he inspected the new robe that was in his hands. No doubt the new robe would be able to handle his Lightning Strikes better since he decided to amplify and level up on his PASSIVE and ACTIVE Lightning skills instead.

"Haish... Last but not least, this Armguards of Fallen Torment gauntlet is also meant for the Wizard and mage Class, so everyone got one piece, and this falls into my inventory. It has +10 Constitution and +10 Wisdom. Any questions or objections?"

I asked the group and everyone answered in unison and laughed since they were thinking the reason why should I receive something so abysmal while my worn pieces of armour surpassed it by leaps and bounds.

*D R U M R O L L*

"And now we come to the part where everyone is waiting for...! Who would not want a piece of upgrade on their W E A P O N S, am I right?" Everyone bobbed their heads up and down in agreement as I moved to the next pile on the floor.

"Snowball, here's a one-handed broadsword, Lightbringer. It has +15 Damage. Crusader, here's an Honor's Call, Blessed Blade of Holy Might, a two-handed longsword so that you can bash it on the heads of your enemies. This has +15 Damage as well. ShadowDancer, here's a tin dual-wielding pair of daggers, Check and Mate. It has +15 Damage as well...! WOW...This is better than your default daggers that are in your inventory right now, am I right?"

"DragonFire, its time to replace your bow. Here's Bullseye, a formidable bow for your cause. +15 Damage compared to your current +5 Damage, am I right? WarPriestess, MageHunter and PuppetMaster. Here are Dying Light, Edge of Sanity and Sorcerer's Staff for the three of you respectively. It has +15 Damage, +15 Intelligence, +15 Wisdom and +15 Constitution, except for WarPriestess that does not have +15 Damage to her staff. Here, go on. It is yours. Mine would be Celeste Staff, a +15 Damage, +15 Constitution, +15 Dexterity. It might or might nor replace my current Blazefury, GreatStaff Of Shifting Sands."

When everyone got their new weapons, they were extremely delighted since they had only weapons that they picked from grinding monsters and never had these beautifully named weapons at all.

Even their armour had beautiful names on them right now. They had never imagined that I would not be taking them and selling them off for profits but instead, equally divide the items like a true Leader, even though it is only for this single Dungeon Quest.

"These magic books may not be of use to you, so I would be taking them with me. Here are Dragonwrath, Phantomlight, Cataclysm Codex, Fearful Grimoire, Fragile Compendium, Brilliancy, Whisper of the Insane

Silverlight, Boon of Invocation, Flameguard and Ferocity of the Prince. These 8 books would go into my inventory, would that be alright?" Once again, the party members agreed to what I had mentioned since I had informed them that any books, scrolls, tomes and recipes would be mine to keep.

Of course, little did they knew that these books, tomes, scrolls and recipes would be for the other new recruits as well as our Lifestyle gamers that would be part of The Guild very soon.

"Alright, there's a bunch of credits here, along with mana potions and healing potions. I will hand all these to Snowball, and he will distribute it to the rest of you. Right now, since we had not left the Dungeon, our levels had not been increased, Everyone is still at Level 5. Please go on and look at the leaderboards since I am sure that you would be sweetly surprised by it."

After saying so, I masked my ID since I do not wish to reveal to anyone who was the Leader of SilverBane right now. Only 7 member's names will appear at the leaderboard if I am not mistaken.

"Alright, since you had wiped the ground clear of everything, its time to leave. Let's go guys...!"

I motioned to everyone, and they complied. The look of satisfaction was on everyone's face as the party members stepped into the Dungeon's exit to appear on the main entrance of the Dungeon's main entrance.
