While Sera was rushing at fast speed toward the girls, the latter were fighting a bitter battle.
Surrounded by hundreds of monsters, Maria, Gracier, Luna, and Sakuya kept fighting non-stop; Maria, Sakuya, and Gracier got injured. However, thanks to Luna's help their got cured.
''Seriously, I think whoever going after us has gone all of out now. To think that can even control a dungeon. Hah!"
Sakuya said after killing a poison toad. She was acting as the vanguard like Maria; Luna was midguard, Gracier at the rear.
''You are right. I wonder what it's their goal; we must quickly clean up these monsters. I believe the real mastermind or at least someone stronger we will show up soon.''
Maria, before stepping on the side to dodge a green orc sword, using her free hand she punched the monster's torso, where the heart was located; just before her fist reached the monster chest, ice manifested out of thin air and got wrapped around her fist to form a little ice spike, it was this ice spike that pierced through the monster's chest, instantly freezing its heart before the rest of its body.
Maria didn't wait to see the result before moving toward her next target.

At the same time at the rear, Gracier switched her Gift from scythe form to the bow form and aimed it at their left before unleashing a single arrow in the sky, this arrow while falling multiplied into hundred flame arrows that struck a lot of monsters, incinerating the weakest while the strongest although not killed they got momentarily incapacitated.
As if she was waiting for this occasion, the S queen moved, displaying beautiful sword moves; she eliminated those incapacitated monsters before joining Maria to clean up the monsters on her side.
Quickly, the group managed to eliminate the monsters surrounding them. To their utter surprise, another batch of monsters filled the empty place left by the previous ones; however, the current monsters, no skeletons wearing armors, stood in an orderly fashion, the bowmen came forward and aimed their bows at the trio, reading to pull the trigger at any moment. There were also few ghouls mixed
''Girls, fall back. Time for this lady to shine.''
Luna's face changed when she saw the undead creatures; her gentle side was gone leaving place to the wild Luna, the battle maniac Luna. It was as if all these killing since their got entrapped on this floor didn't wear her out like the others.
Maria, Sakuya stopped what they were doing and joined Gracier at the back. It was at that moment the skeleton bowmen released their arrows. Mixed among them were some ghouls bowmen.
The sky turned darker due to the numerous arrows flying in the air.
Facing the incoming arrows smeared with a lethal poison that could seal one's fate. Just a scratch from them would be enough to paralyze the body, if not kill. But it was a pity that they were dealing with a rock-hard enemy right now.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In a string of crisp rasps, the invisible barrier negated all threats mercilessly.
None of the launched arrows managed to pierced Luna's barrier; after the deluge of arrows passed, Luna grinned like a naughty girl that was about to break things.
''Sing for me.''
Luna bellowed at the top of her lungs. She raised and spread her arms to the side. Along with this action, innumerable flaring lights erupted around the transparent barrier, dispersing in all directions and ramming into the skeletons. Even though the skeletons wore armors, some were magical armors that were highly resistant to ordinary magical spells; it was a pity that Luna was a healer. Not only that but as a representative of 'holy light,' Luna's attacks were also blessed by holy attributes, which made it a perfect match against these wicked creatures such as undead ones. As soon as the light beams slammed onto the skeletons and ghouls, they would feel as though red branding irons were pressed against their skin at once ( especially the ghouls). As blood-curdling screeches filled the air, the encirclement of the skeletons and ghouls disintegrated entirely like a broken eggshell. More attacks followed, completely erasing the undead monsters.
And again soon, another batch of monsters appeared to fill the gap left by the previous monsters. The girls kept fighting. This floor was unusual; no matter how many monsters the girls slew, they seemed there was no end; the most frustrating thing was the mist surrounding them. The current floor was shaped like a forest surrounded by mountains, since the monsters started to attack, since their first attack, the area where the girls are, became covered by mist, they couldn't go back, nor they could find the exit.
Unknown to them, at the moment not too far from them was a group of men fighting against some monsters. Unlike in the girl's case, where the monsters would aggressively charge at them after showing up, the monsters currently fighting against this group didn't look that aggressive, almost as if the monsters have been set not to cause too much trouble for this group.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNaturally, this group was none other than Damien and Leonardo's group.
While fighting against two orcs, Leonardo inquired.
''How is it? I meant on the other side. Did they caught that girl already?"
''Don't be hasty; it is not going to be easy, knowing the girls they will be desperately fighting. I know what you want to do; you want to play the prince who showed up to save the damsels in distress after Gracier got abducted. Am I wrong?"
Effortlessly dispatching monster after monster, Damien mocked.
''Ugh!"
Having his thoughts seen through made Leonardo let out an unpleasant grunt.
'This man is too simple-minded. It's a good thing! I will use you and get rid of you later. You're just a disposable pawn.' Damien inwardly thought before leading his men elsewhere other than the location where was Maria and others.
While Damien was thinking how easy it was to use Leonardo, the latter was grinning inside, already thinking about a method to take care of Damien; truth be told, Leonardo wished to keep all women; Luna was included.
They said cooperation; however, in the dark both were scheming against each other even though they have yet to acquire what they seek.
While they were busy scheming against each other on the lower floor, a big battle was about to occur.
