I Can Make Everything Level UP

"Well, this dungeon caused no small amount of trouble, so let's kick the ass of the guardian and go home spend the money that we will earn," Billy said when they were leaving the inn the next day. "That is what I would like to say… but let's proceed with caution. To avoid problems, Let's also hear what Marie has to say about the guardian."

"I wonder what I should do… while never demanded respect, you always treated me pretty harshly," Marie said. "And now you come to me asking for a favor…"

"Well, we can always return home right now," Billy said. "We didn't clear the dungeon, but we killed dozens of thousands of monsters. We can return home with our heads high for doing that much."

"You don't know how to take a joke, don't you?" Marie asked and then let out a sigh. "What a boring kid you are."

She was the last person Billy wanted to hear that from, she was the last person he wanted to hear her saying manyt things, but he decided to stay quiet about it since she began to talk about the boss that she faced. It was basically an oversized Aquatic Beast, but the guardian actually used magic, and he had two forms. The standing form where the monster uses magic and four-legged form, where the monster attacks using its body. It was quite the weird creature, but it sure sounded like a proper boss.

Billy wondered if he should ask if some people of her party suffered heavy injures or not, but he decided against it. There was no point in worrying his friends about that possibility. Besides, Billy himself wasn't the type to worry about the possibilities of such things happening. Instead of worrying about it, it would be better to keep his senses sharp to prevent it.

Nevertheless, as usual, the group entered the dungeon and crossed the entire maze in a straight line. The enemies that caused them a lot of trouble weeks ago were eliminated near instantly. Their skills were sharp, and their morale was sky-high. Still, Billy decided to keep his guard up at every single moment because, in those situations, unexpected things happen and tend to make a mess out of everything.

After just three hours, thanks to their good pace, Billy and the others reached the fifth floor, and there they found two groups of enemies waiting for them. If it weren't for those creatures, their preparation would be perfect. Still, it was unavoidable that they would lose some stamina and mana against that horde. Once they had been dealt with, Billy and the others rested for one hour in front of the last room since no monster spawned. For whatever reason, either the core spawned them overnight, or they were spawned all at once.

The helpers would stay behind since they weren't being paid to put their lives in danger. Once they finished cleaning and sharpening their weapons as much as possible, Billy's group entered the last room of the dungeon.

They frowned when they saw that the last room resembled a throne room. While everything was made of that blue brick, it was a lot more elegant than all the other parts of the two last floors. There were many pillars around the room that apparently was two hundred meters long and four hundred meters large and on the other end of the place. There were some stairs and above it, a throne, a pretty big one where an Aquatic Beast was sitting on it.

"You forgot to mention that the guardian was two times bigger than the others," Billy said.

"It wasn't that big the last time I faced it…" Marie said while furrowing her eyebrows.

It seemed that the core also messed with the guardian a little bit. Billy checked and noticed that the beast was really strong. Its claws were as big as swords, so it was like the enemy had six of those… terrifying-looking and very sharp swords.

The monster got up from its throne, and it seemed that time had frozen while the creature while climbing down the stairs. If that were a game or a movie, the boss would give a monologue or chit-chat about their plans of world domination. Still, the monster didn't have such aspirations. It was only a tool under the control of the core of the dungeon.

Everyone grabbed their weapons tightly, but Lily, who could attack the monster, fired one of her arrows, and considering the high pitching sound, it was clear that she used Power Shot. The beast moved its right arm to block the projectile, and while it succeeded, it frowned since its arm moved backward. The boss had underestimated the power of that Shot. From up close, Lily would be even more dangerous.

Billy had told the others that they should keep a formation, and that was why Marie was itching to attack, but she followed the others. The frontline approached in a light, while the backline was ten meters behind them. Billy, Alexander, Natalie, and Marie dashed when the monster lowered its stance to attack, and despite that, the monster targeted Billy first for whatever reason.

The monster swung its right claw toward his face, but Billy blocked the attack with his spear.. That being said, he felt his bones cracking, and he soon was pushed back. The creature tried to continue the combo and finish Billy, but the monster lowered its stance and dodged Natalie's strike aimed at its neck…
