The team reconvened after a few minutes of rest and preparation, weapons stored away, wounds bandaged and discarded weapons—in Johan’s case mostly, though Asin’s throwing knives were also at fault—picked up. Asin had even retrieved all the Mana stones, helped along by Charles doing a final sweep to ensure nothing was missed. Not that there were likely to be, since they weren’t fighting a swarm. Still, it always paid to be careful—literally. More than once, the team had picked up Mana stones left behind by other, less careful teams.

Daniel swept over the group, then decided to just ask rather than gingerly move around it. “Resources?”

“About half of my Mana pool,” Lady Nyssa said.

“Two-thirds,” Daniel said, glancing over the team. No one was hurt, hurt—but pushing a few Healer Mark’s at the end of the day to ensure everyone was ready for the next day would cost him at least a third of his Mana. His Healing Aura might accelerate base healing, but it just wasn’t that powerful.

Yet.

“I’m down to a quarter,” Johan spoke up, looking down and shifting uncomfortably. “Had to . . . ummm . . . use a Skill.”

“The one that punched through the armor?” Omrak rumbled. “Beautiful attack. What was it? Piercing Strike?”

“Uhh . . . no. It was . . . ummm . . . Masters of Arms exclusive.”

“Of course! And . . . ?” Omrak persisted.

“Friend Omrak, you know that is rude,” Roland cut in, nodding to Johan. “Suffice to say, our Master of Arms has a powerful piercing skill proficiency, no?”

Omrak jerked a nod, pounding his chest with a fist. “I am good to continue.”

“As am I,” Roland agreed. When the group just stared at him, he looked back with a knowing smile. “Really. My armor refreshes my Stamina, and I took the least amount of injury.”

“Omrak and Roland are good. Charles?” Daniel said, turning to the older gentleman. He was watching their back as usual, standing just outside.

“I have three quarters of my Mana left.”

“Two thirds.” Asin spoke up, before she was asked.

Daniel paused, considering as he swept his gaze over the team, assessing damage and stamina. Mostly, it was good, the Healing Aura helping his friends recover their endurance faster than anything else. However, their biggest damage dealers were low on Mana which meant they would struggle against another high-level team. If they ran into a couple more such groups, returning would be tricky.

Even so, a quick mental gauge and review of their map showed that they’d only been in the Dungeon for less than half a day and were only just over two dozen turns in. Nowhere close to completing the Dungeon or finding its heart.

More importantly . . . Daniel cast a glance under his brows over to the eager prince, only to be surprised to see the prince smiling back a little. Before the Healer could consider what that meant, the prince spoke up.

“Let’s head back,” Roland said. “We don’t want my guards to worry too much. Better to
