Mike was silent for a second.
"Ten percent is fine," he said calmly. "Its more than enough."
Melina looked at him sideways. "Most people would hesitate and wait to gather more powerful ingredients to boost the percentage."
"I'm not most people," Mike replied. "And even Ice and Darkness affinity alone would already be a big gain."
Linda nodded slightly. "Then I'll prepare for the highest possible grade. To do that, I'll need more materials."
She looked deeper into the forest. "Rare frost plants, abyss-touched spores, and at least one high-grade core. All of them exist in this dungeon—but the deeper we go, the stronger the illusions become."
Melina smiled faintly. "That's fine. I'll deal with anything that tries to confuse him."
Mike sighed. "Good. I don't trust my luck with mind tricks."
They continued forward.
