"To develop my powers and discover the truth?" Eric wondered. "W-Well, I guess… Anyways, we shouldn't be rally hung up into this for now. We got things to do, right?"
"You're right, for now…"
I quickly enhanced my body strength and then grabbed the tree, pulling it out of the stone floor with all the strength I could muster. Some roots broke, but that wasn't really a problem. If this whole tree grew out of a small branch, I am sure it can take some beating.
"For now, let's store this in my bag."
I stored the whole tree inside the biggest Spatial Bag I've made so far, everyone felt slightly shocked by how easy it was, thanks to being able to Conjure Tier 2 Spatial Magic, the bags I can make by imbuing Spatial Runes into them have become better.
"Woah… I forgot you can just do that." Eric said.
"Blake is Blake I guess." Chris said.
"Can't you make some for us too, Blake?" Asked Erika.
"Sure, you've earned it. I'll make one for each one of you. But you guys better not go around showing it to people, keep it a secret and only store things when nobody is looking." I said, as they seemed to understand.
"I am tired…" Sighed Erdrich. "What should we do now though?"
"We should advance… The room in front of us by walking through this corridor is the last one. After checking that we should be able to find the one behind everything…" I said while narrowing my eyes.
"The one behind everything…" Erika said. "The Necromancer?"
"Yeah, that." I said rather carefreely. "Usually, Necromancers are way weaker than their own Summons. There's a reason why they bring Undead, they're not that strong themselves."
"Oh, so probably it is easy?" Asked Elizabeth.
"Not so much though, they're always tricky. Don't let your guard down…" I said. As I walked forward. However, everybody else was sitting in the floor and couldn't really move.
Right, their MP is probably empty… Maybe they should recover a bit eating something and drinking potions.
"Please let us wait for a few minutes at least…" Elizabeth supplicated me.
"Yeeahh…" Erika sighed.
"Ugh… My head hurts a lot…" Eric complained.
"My entire body hurts…" Erdrich added.
"I want to take a long nap…" Chris said, feeling all down.
I quickly unpacked another haul of food, this time I brought out some skewered meat, sandwiches, fruit salad, and even some stew leftover from the one we made before.
Everything was still warm thanks to the power of the special bag which I was now able to enhance with Time Attribute Runes, making it as if time goes slightly slower inside these spatial bags, this way, food goes cold way slower, and well I might one day throw a living being inside and see what happens.
"Uwaah! So much food! Nom! Nom!" Erika began wolfing down everything as much as she could.
"Ahh… I was so hungry. Using my powers really leaves me so hungry man…" Erdrich said, eating stew.
"Fruit Salad! I really wanted something sweet!" Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, the whipped cream is just the best over it too!" Eric praised my simplistic preparations.
"Damn, I can't get enough of this roasted boar meat…" Chris said.
"My lord's delicious food… I just can't get enough of it…" Even Eleanora joined everybody else.
"Well, you better hurry. We are going to eat for only five minutes! We cannot delay this any longer." I said, quickly eating a few things myself while looking at the Grimoire's Notifications.

Already Level 20? Now, now… this is really getting out of hand. This amount of EXP will not be something I'll be earning any time soon with normal monsters. I guess situations where I get to kill hundreds are very rare, I might as well be happy and celebrate about it while I can, the EXP requirements will keep increasing more and more.
Well, I don't have much time to look at my Status now, we need to keep going. I have a bad feeling that if we take too long, we might end up regretting it…
