Level 10 had an unexpectedly low death toll — such a result came even with Mias' odd situation.
'Perhaps it's a testament to how organized we've become,'
as well as their overall increase in strength.
Only about twenty warriors died, most of whom were from Edith's squad, which faced the worst of the enemies.
Vale quickly replaced the lost forces using the Aether he'd earned from the Level, leaving him with 150 remaining. 150 he should undoubtedly spend if he were to heed a warning Greed had given him earlier.
She said that upon ascension all currently stored Aether would be lost.
As for what he was going to do with that 150?
He wasn't going to summon more Troops. Even if he summoned a Mage, he'd only be able to summon a single one, and there was no guarantee it would be helpful.
While Vale waited for the day of rest and recuperation to pass, he scooped up his good luck charm, Dickless Jr., and headed into the Dungeon Core for some gambling!
'Dad would be so proud.'
