~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside Elenahiers Dungeon, Elven Kindgom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:51 AM)~~~

We've been traveling through the ever-changing and confusing layout of Elenahiers Dungeon. Hailey and I are taking a backseat right now and letting the others fight the monsters this time, giving us a much-needed break. "How much longer do you think this is gonna take, Cera..." Hailey sounds far more exhausted than I feel.

Our bodies won't be getting tired for days, maybe weeks of continuous activity such as this, but our minds are still the same in terms of endurance, and it's quick to reach that point you need a long break. It's more so to relax the mind from the constant focus and vigilance. It's draining beyond belief and can affect our decision-making negatively.

We'll make it to the boss room in about 10 minutes... Maybe a little longer... Helda has been doing a great job leading us through the dungeon without any problems. The time-consuming process isn't fun in any sense. Such a tedious dungeon will become monotonous in no time at all. "We're getting closer, sis... We're almost there..." I want this to be done just as much as her.

The work is almost paying off, and the final fight against the boss will be a fast one. I intend to use all my skills to make sure that it does. My damage will be in the multimillions once my skills are activated, and The Witness only adds to the damage dealt thanks to the many perks that come along with it. Those potions are already ours.

In other good news, I'm now level 195, and I'm 60 percent the way through the level, giving me another 10 stat points that won't make any difference whatsoever. Hailey has probably leveled up plenty herself and is waiting and willing to help me finish off the boss in the instant we can. Our speed and attack power combined will kill the boss faster than you can blink.

Sally and Jasmine are doing excellent on their own, and it makes me feel more confident in their own abilities to protect themselves when I'm not around. They're getting stronger in this dungeon too, and their individual power is rising at this moment. "How do you want to handle the boss, Hailey?" It's obvious that Hailey and I are taking care of the final monster of this dungeon.

I know next to nothing about it, and Helda said she'd explain it at the entryway to the boss room. That's the only time in the entire dungeon we're not getting hammered by monsters from every direction. Could've used better wording... "Want to make it interesting?" Her voice is teasing and cocky, which is all too familiar to me.

She wants to bring some wagers and bets into this, and I'm not opposed to the idea, but it depends on what's on the line. "I'm interested, but what exactly are we betting on? It seems to me that neither of us has much." She smiles wickedly, and I can already tell she's planned this for a long time ago. Likely wants to stop me from doing something that annoys her.

Hailey is like me in many ways, and people would agree. While I don't have the same temper as her, we share many more things. Scheming against people and making plans is one of those traits. "If I win, you and Sally aren't allowed to have any sex for the duration of our time together." Okay... That's a seriously low blow... She's sick of hearing us in the middle of the night.

I need to come back with something just as spiteful and personal... Something that'll really sting if I end up winning the bet... I have just the thing! "Okay, and if I win, you're not allowed to clean up after this dungeon until I say so." She immediately regrets ever bringing up this idea of a bet, and we both know that if she backs out now, it'll go down in our personal record books.

She grits her teeth in anger and nods her head a single time. Now it's time to discuss the parameters of the bet. "Now that we have the wagers set, what should we have as the goal needed to be completed... Total damage against the boss? Final hit? The best amount of damage in one attack? Speed of attacks?" There are many choices... Listening to them off just annoys her.

Further letting her know what's truly on the line, and I don't have any intention of losing. I like Sally too much to not be able to touch her and indulge in pleasure with her. "How about we have the group determine who does the best against the boss?" Her suggestion is neutral in favor of either of us, and I respect that. Leveling the playing field.

We both have to agree, and I'm looking for some loophole that she might have, but nothing pops out. A part of me is telling me this is my sister, and she's got some sort of plan. Doing exactly what I'd try to do. "Fine, but only Sally and Jasmine can determine which of us win." She looks at me and squints her eyes slightly.

She's assuming that I'm playing some angle, and she'd be right to assume that. Having only Sally and Jasmine determine who does better locks in one vote for me automatically. Securing a 50 percent winning vote by default, Sally votes for me no matter what. She knows how good I really am. Jasmine is a toss-up between us.

Jasmine is too bubbly and friendly to vote for Hailey automatically, and I'll have a better chance to win. "You just love insulting my intelligence, don't you! Like I'd agree to something like that! It's either all of them, or we find a new way to settle it." I knew it wouldn't get past her, but one can hope that she'd miss something. Not likely though, she's my sister after all.

There seems to be no other option. We'll involve everyone in the voting. I still get a vote locked in from Sally either way. "Fine, we'll do it your way, sis. Just remember that you have yet to see my full capabilities in action." She's not seen me use my most powerful skills and attacks yet, but I can say the same for myself regarding her abilities.

~~~(Time: 12:07 PM)~~~

Jasmine and I are killing any monsters that come our way, and I'll be the first to admit that it's easier than I thought it'd be. The monsters are adjusting to our strength levels individually. Ashburn and Melimora are also doing a large majority of the work. I'm happy to do this since Hailey and Cera needed a break from doing all the work.

They're getting a chance to refresh before the big boss fight ahead, and I'm looking forward to clearing my first dungeon with an entire party of people. The first dungeon I ever cleared with another person was Cera when I got my Legacy class Winter Wrath. To say the class is coming in handy right now is an understatement.

Slowing down enemies and completely freezing some has been a cakewalk. Not to mention the help from my Ice Puppets and many of my other skills that are heavy on damage and defense. There is a difference with this dungeon, though. I'm so used to Cera always leading that having Helda lead us makes things a little weird.

Not in a bad way. I'm just so used to the safety and security of Cera protecting me that this change of style is new to me. It's nice that I get to prove I'm not some weakling that needs to be taken care of all the time. Showing off my power to Cera does give me more confidence in myself. Every time I check to see if he's watching, he always is. His smile tells me everything I need to know.
