Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Do we really need to go in with all our gear on?" No.1 asked as he felt that they should be strong enough to clear the minions and move to the boss stage within one try.

Thus, they should not need to worry about bringing mass murder kind of gear but rather heavy hitting items that were specifically meant to assassinate powerful individuals.

"We do not know the capabilities of the minions. What we were shown by Jin is only his fight against the God of Preservation. What if the fight contained monsters that are exceeding our current gear?" No.8 replied and No.9 concurred with her.

"We might just be pawns in the grand scheme of things but if our King can keep nameless useful pawns like us as the last line of defence, I do not see why the God of Preservation does not do the same." No.9 said and No.2 added that there is a possibility the Dashavataras might be involved.

"Wait a minute. His Majesty said 10 tries, does that mean there might be a possibility we have to fight against all 10 Avatars of Vishnu to clear it?" No.3 suddenly had the realisation they might be fucked.

"We will not know the enemy composition until going into the dungeon instance. This is not our first rodeo to fight against strong opponents especially when His Majesty put us into so many Ex Rank Tier dungeons to fight and gain materials." No.6 commented while he wore his combat vest and gloves.

"But come on, you have to admit that Jin did not want non uniformity in his regiment. While he did allow us to explore our hidden abilities away from normal working hours, we were strictly ordered not to use them at all." No.3 complained as he started putting magical ammo clips into his vestn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Well, that is not stopping you from using those 'hidden' abilities when you are in the EX Rank Tier Dungeons. In fact, you used them the most blatantly." No.5 remarked when he took out a tome and checked its contents.

This was one of the few things that No.3 had given him as a birthday present and as a prank mainly because despite it being a tome filled with magical scrolls, they had always been told not to use it at all.

But right now, Jin had permitted them to go free from and unleash whatever power and abilities they had been hiding behind his back for him to see as they were going to navigate through this shithole that they had dug for themselves.

"It is not as if we had not coordinated our secondary abilities before. The Ex Rank Tier Dungeons had been good practice and we can utilise them in coordination too. So, I do not see any problems with that. Perhaps, we bringing a few extra things might help in the long run."

"More like you guys are taking this opportunity to make the Commando Mages company funds go dry..." No.6 complained as she could see that they were taking away all the most expensive items that they had stashed and also pre ordered a few items from the military armoury so that when they failed, there would still be items they could get.

After all, if Jin had only given them a grace period of 15 minutes to prepare, they would have reckoned that this would be the same for the retries. The only difference is that, unlike the failures they met during the EX Rank Tier Dungeons, they knew that the dungeon instance was basically a reset of their general health and mana prior to entering the dungeon instance.

(Of course, any pre-buff consumables would not be considered part of their reset.)

This is because they were not immortals, any of those failures they met in the Ex Rank Tier Dungeons would leave them injured and drained of magic. Thus, Jin and Kraft along with a few Star Foxes had been healing and nursing them back to health before allowing them to return. They were also the ones who they pulled the Commando Mages out to safety once they reached a certain threshold.

"Less talking and more equipping. All we have left is 3 minutes and counting. It takes 39 seconds to reach His Majesty's office.

So strap your mouths and start moving." No.8 reiterated as she too left a customised bulk order to No.6, telling her to send the requisition form to their computer console so that the dedicated military runner could bring the items from the Royal Ress Armoury into their room.

"What the hell are we supposed to bring??" No.7 was the most confused of the lot and decided that she wear her standard combat gear as well as a backup magic tome which she had been using as her part of her practice in using the secondary abilities.

Only when she was reaching out for her tome, she noticed that there were magic bullets that had been catered to her secondary ability and decided to bring that with her as well, not knowing if it would be useful or not.

Soon, everyone did whatever they could by grabbing their essentials and subsequently the possible accessories which may further aid their battle. With only 45 seconds on the clock, all of them got out of Commando mages personal armoury lockers and flew to Jin's office in unison.

"Right on the dot," Jin said as Kalki was already comfortably seated at a corner of Jin's office as the portal was flickering, awaiting the 'customers' of the day.

"With 2 seconds to spare." No.8 replied as she was the first to enter the portal while a few of them swallowed their fears before entering. They thought it would be something similar to the white space that Jin had fought previously but when they entered, all of their items were missing and even their standard uniform had disappeared.

Instead, all of them were wearing Butler and Maid uniforms respectively which caused them to panic for a moment before staying stoic to review the current situation they were presently in.

It looked as if they were in some sort of manor despite the night purple skies outside. Looks like this was not going to be some simple fight.
