"Ah, there it is!" said Clishya, pointing at Frank the entrance to the Dungeon she had spoken about before.

This dungeon was one of the few there were within the Greenwild Region. Each of these dungeons was treated as a "Cardinal Dungeon" as there were four, each one pointing at a certain direction, and which also specialized in a different element based on the cardinal winds.

To the north there was the Wind Dungeon, to the south there was the Fire Dungeon, to the East there was the Earth Dungeon, and to the West, there was the Water Dungeon, all four of them were high-level dungeons that had many floors, the strongest and final Boss being a Rank 8 Monster, often also called the "Cardinal Catastrophes" by the folks.

This Dungeon, in particular, was known as the Dungeon of Fire, and it was decorated with many statues and other decorations made by the tribes, it was a Dungeon of trials where the strongest warriors of these tribes would one day gather to battle the monsters inside and bring their treasures and corpses as food and nourishment. However, as the generations went by, the tribes grew weaker due to the lack of food and the constant increase in power of the nearby beasts and monsters due to the increasing miasma levels, as the birth of the Demon King approached.

This is why they were no longer capable of going into these dungeons for the most part, especially because they were way too dangerous, unlike the dungeons that Acacia Town had.

Still, the first floors were not so hard, and there were around Rank 1 or 2 monsters roaming around, with enough luck, a group of hunters might be capable of hunting a monster there and bring its loot as well, but it was safer to aim for the beasts that roamed the jungle, such as birds, tigers, deer, and even bears, who were fairly weaker than a strong Rank 1 Monster.

Frank immediately browsed and scanned the entire dungeon with a blink of an eye using his powers.

"It seems deep, around 40 floors… A nice challenge… Well, not for us, but maybe for the little ones, although, we might as well go with them," said Frank.

"Oh, let's go take a little detour then!" said Axitl.

"But don't take too much, let's get to the town before night, okay?" asked Clishya.

"Sure, it won't take more than half an hour, let's go," said Frank, as he held Clishya's hand, and the group went into the dungeon.

Vritra and Selcis, alongside Terra and Orb, were the ones fighting most of the time, as they were cataloged as "the little ones" and lacked a lot of battle experience, they needed to fight in here to polish their skills.

Although calling one of his wives as "little one" was something he shouldn't have done… Orb glared at Frank with a bit of anger.

"Who are you calling little one?!" she roared while pouting adorably.

She was wrathful as her beautiful and delicate princess-like body rushed through the dungeon floors, pulverizing the enemies with her bare fists, which she coated with her divinity of dungeons to generate powerful shockwaves.

There was a variety of monsters inside, such as Vulcan Turtles, Lava Sharks, and monstrous Blazing Hydras, who were all monsters with a lesser Dragon Bloodline of Fire Dragons.

The Vulcan Turtles released powerful flames and coated their bodies with them, spinning around crazily and attacking the group, as Orb roared at Frank, her fist touched the giant twenty-meter-big turtle and suddenly sent cracks all around its shell, shattering it instantly into pieces and splattering the entire turtle's body across the floor!

It was a rather disturbing scene when it was added that a little loli like Orb did it!

Her petite and adorable appearance would never give away her wrathful strength!

"Sorry! I wasn't intending to call you little, Orb-chan…" sighed Frank, apologizing and petting her head.

"Grr…! I am like this because I like princesses! N-Not because I am a kid! Baka!" said Orb, using a Japanese word she learned from Kamei that meant "idiot". She used her little fits to hit Frank's stomach, generating giant shockwaves all around that shook the entire dungeon, but against Frank, it was nothing, as he laughed a bit because it caused him tickles.

"Haha! C-Come on…" he chuckled.

"Okay… But give me a kiss then!" said Orb, as Frank sighed in relief and gave her a lovely kiss.

"Mwuh… much better~!" she said, as she rushed back to crush monsters while roaring and gritting her teeth wrathfully…

"Remind me to never enrage this new goddess," whispered Abraddon to Thineas ears.

"Fufu, she's quite charismatic!" said Thineas.

Vritra and Selcis also participated in the fight as they demolished everything, shapeshifting into their monster forms that were like titans and jumping into the lava pools, eating the giant Lava Sharks alive and even the Blazing Hydras were nothing, eating their long necks like noodles.

"Hmmm! Yummy monster!" said Vritra, crushing the monsters inside of his large jaws, as he had shapeshifted into a gigantic Dracolich of over ten meters. The fire of the attacks of these monsters didn't even bother him.

Selcis used her giant scorpion form to slice the bodies of the giant beasts with her enormous claws, and even impale them with her piercing stinger, killing them instantly.

It was a massacre…

Terra was also participating as she liked to dungeon dive, and finding a new dungeon to explore made her excited, although the monsters seemed way too easy.

"It feels like I am playing casual mode, what is this?" she sighed, wrecking the monsters across her path with her large SSS-Rank blade.

Like this, the group quickly rushed through the twenty floors in approximately 12 minutes, while also gathering all the loot they could. Frank also practiced his Miasma Skills, summoning Miasma Abominations to fight for him, and testing their strength, which seemed to combine with his necromancy.

As they reached the last floor, a giant red door greeted everyone's sight, as Vritra crushed it with his tail and the Boss was revealed!

"EH?! Who dares come to bother the Lord of Fire?!" roared the voice of a malicious… young woman?
