[Summon Dungeon Monster: Lv3]

Skill Proficiency: 192/40000

As a Dungeon, you\'re able to summon Dungeon Monsters. Each Dungeon has their own set of unique monsters they can summon. The monster\'s innate power depends in the strength and level of the Dungeon and the level of this Skill.

Summoned Dungeon Monsters cannot level up by themselves nor develop skills but can become better at their already acquired Abilities through practice, and if they have high amounts of Intelligence Stat, they\'re able to learn patterns and even languages.

New monsters are unlocked with each Skill Level. All Stats of all Summoned Monsters increase by +20% with each Skill level naturally. Additionally, their HP and MP regeneration increases by +5% with each Skill Level.

Available Monsters:

Level 1: [Monkey Barbarian (F- Rank)], [Armored Rhino (F+ Rank)]

Level 2: [Ogre Warrior (E- Rank)], [Fire Salamander (E+ Rank)]

Level 3: [Skeleton Knight (D- Rank)], [Stone Golem (D+ Rank)]

Level 4: …

The new Monsters that Silva had acquired through her Skill Level Up were quite honestly, amazing. She had acquired Skeleton Knights and Stone Golems, both monsters being non-living. They lacked the weakness of flesh and were very physically strong. Skeleton Knights should also have the knight part, and hold armor, weapons, and be plenty strong while Stone Golems are walking fortresses, most likely. Also, does this means we can get free ores from the Stone Golems and also armor and weapons from the Skeleton Knights? Assuming such items are not rusty or don\'t go bad after they die.

"Skeleton Knights and Stone Golems, right?" I wondered.

"Yep." She answered plainly.

"Do you know how strong they are?" I wondered.

"Dunno. Need to summon them to see." She said plainly once more.

"Alright, bring one and one." I sad.

"Okay~" Silva said, summoning both.

Unlike the previous Monsters whose MP Cost wasn\'t that much, these were more expensive. A tall, two-meter-tall Skeleton wearing black rusty armor appeared, with a sword emanating a shadow aura from within. His empty eyes emanated a blazing blue flame that resembled a will-o-wisp, and it looked overall very menacing. Meanwhile, the big golem was almost four meters tall, made completely out of stone bricks, it resembled a walking fortress just as I had imagined him.

And the MP cost, yes. The Skeleton was 2500 MP, and the golem, 4000 MP. It was an insane amount of MP now, and it might escalate even further for stronger Summons. D Rank Summons seem already strong enough, and with all the boosts into stats we can give them through the many of Silva\'s Passive Skills and my own Skills, they might be amazing in large quantities.

"Should I summon these instead?" She wondered.

"Hmm… The other monster sell for their meat too, these guys don\'t have any meat, so they might be less valuable, I\'ll have to show them to Floresse."

While waiting for Floresse after calling her by sending a small, bird-shaped Chaotic Beast I summoned in whim, I checked Silva\'s Status, and decided to let her Evolve, as she had already reached Max Level.

Ding!

She not only gained several new Skills but her stats had increased a lot. And even some Skills leveled up right away. Silva quickly notified me that she felt something happening with her, quickly stopping what she was doing and going back to her knife form. Her form had changed as well, no longer looking like a plain knife, she looked regal and beautiful, with flower-shaped metallic decorations around her handle. She had truly become a wondrously beautiful knife, even shining silvery gold in color.

"Uwah… I feel all shiny and strong." She said adorably.

"Congratulations for evolving! It seems you jumped pretty quickly into a lot of power; you might be slightly comparable to the other three now…" I said. "Which have yet to evolve but had already become strong enough after being repaired a third time."

For now, let\'s see what your Skills can do…

[Knife Arts: Lv1]

The ability to unleash powerful knife arts that can deal damage by using MP. The sharpness and accuracy of the knife\'s blade is enhanced, alongside its speed at the moment of stabbing, alongside having a chance to hit a weak point and deal critical damage. The power of knife attacks increase by +20% with each Level.

[Elemental Absorption: Lv1]

The ability to absorb elements and infuse them into the body. A special ability that magical weapons often have, being capable of channeling skills and magic from their wielders for greater power. Increases strength while absorbing elements and elemental damage by +10% with each skill level.

[Labyrinth Expansion: Lv1]

A special Skill that Dungeons can develop after reaching a certain level of strength. Their total size increases by +100% with each Skill Level.

[Dungeon Monster Enhancement: Lv1]

Enhances the power of Summoned Dungeon Monsters, a special power only the strongest Dungeon Cores might possess. By conjuring the Skill, Dungeon Monsters summoned by the Dungeon receive a +30% boost to all their Stats, while their HP and MP Regeneration is doubled. The Buff is enhanced by an additional +10% with each Skill Level.

[Dungeon Queen: Lv1]

As the Queen of the Dungeon, you have greater control over your Dungeon and everything within it. Monsters are naturally stronger than they usually are, and the ability to naturally drain MP becomes easier. Alongside this, your personal strength increases based in how many Dungeon Monsters you\'ve summoned to fight with you in a battle.

All these Skills were honestly quite amazing.
