“―Hey, I’m still not finished!!”

Aileen dashed over to its side and unleashed a flurry of blows on the wounds she had made.

The Nemean Lion howled in anger, and counterattacked with its fangs and claws, pulling back slightly each time it did so.

This repeated itself a few times; Aileen had succeeded in giving it fear to cause it to finally made a step back.

ROOOAAARRR!!

Sara opened her mouth and a column of fire spewed out from it.

Mireyalaunchesh her Wolverine Claws and Ice Magic while Mayla bombarded with Explosion and Flamethrower.

Jayla busied herself in buffing the vanguards and then giving unexpected attack from the distance.

Who knows how long the fight had started, at this very moment, the Nemean Lion was already bleeding all over. It was panting and its one front leg already immobilized.

ROOOAAARRR!!

It roared in anger and frustration but still, Aileen and the others are like war machines. They never back down, as long as Jayla was behind them, their stamina and wounds recovered in its optimal state forever!!

It’s time to end this…!!

The group’s plan shifted into its last phase: it was time to go on more offensive.

Aileen’s figure transformed into lightning as she disappeared and then reappeared behind the Nemean Lion, stabbing its thigh.

Crimson blood dyed its golden fur as it shrieked in pain.

“Arrogant human!!”

The Nemean Lion howled in fury and lifted its head angrily.

A gigantic claw lifted into the air.

Aileen, watching the Nemean Lion’s breathing, readied her weapon.

Suddenly, the monster’s foreleg bent, and it whirled a half –revolution with terrible speed.

A ferocious tail sweep.

Although the tail looked thin but with the Nemean Lion’s Supernatural Strength, the force and impact it released would be like being rammed by an over speeding truck!

Aileen immediately tried to evade with her Super Speed when “Holy Barrier!!” Jayla’s voice resounded from behind.

A thin filament appeared and successfully blocked the Nemean Lion’s attack, creating sparks all over.

Aileen’s lips lift upwards and then instead of evading, along with Mireya and Mayla, she leaped towards the Nemean Lion.

“Haaaaaa!!”

… …

… …

“Aiyah! That was hard,” Aileen fell down with her back facing the ground.

She then started laughing.

Beside her was the Nemean Lion, or should rather say –its corpse.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mireya and Mayla walked over while Sara slowly descended from the air; her breath was haggard and rapid. Behind them were Alkrasha and Jayla who was also smiling.

“That Bastard’s skin was just too thick… I almost thought we are a goner again…” Sara complained as she clutched her stomach. A frightening wound could be seen from it.

When she fought with the Nemean Lion some time ago she received some pretty bad wounds.

Her clean clothes were already stained with her own blood.

She was breathing heavily and shortly, almost like she was hyperventilating. If not for her Beast –physique, she would have already fainted long ago and couldn’t fight anymore.

Looking at the corpse of the monster, she felt a surge of emotion.

–Though most of it was from intense satisfaction. She felt that she had once again felt her power rose up –especially her Primal Fury and Beast Transformation!

“Yeah,” Mireya smiled wryly. Her claws and Ice magic could almost not penetrate its defense.

“Even my Flames were rendered useless~”

“However, we still won, so I guess, that’s a cheer ~” Jayla muttered happily.

“Don’t gloat in your victory just yet. This is still the fourth floor, there are still much stronger enemies ahead…” Alkrasha poured cold water on their excitement.

“Ah, come on, Miss Alkrasha. Don’t be so strict, sometimes we also need to be happy in this kind of small thing… it’s good for encouragement,” Mayla spoke with a playful tone.

“… Up to you,” Alkrasha shrugs. A smile suffused her lips.

… …

After resting a bit, the group then stood up and slowly searches the entire room.

There, they found a large chest.

Inside were several useful items, valuables, and accessories.

Then the group’s attention went towards the body of the Nemean Lion.

“What did you find?”

“Let’s see,” Mireya flipped the corpse upside down and found a few things.

“Pretty good,”

[ Nemean Hooded Coat ( Legendary ) – A coat that absorbs mana of the user, reinforcing the coat causing its defense to increase! [ Self –Evolution ], [ Absolute Defense ], [ Self –Repair ] ]

[ Skill Tablet; Howl – An ability to release a shockwave using your voice. ]

[ Nemean GreatSword ( Rare –Superior) – A blade made from the Nemean Lion’s Bones. Extremely Durable. [ Impact ], [ Mana Reinforcement ], [ Mass Control ] ]

Mireya shared the items and skills description towards the others.

[ Howl ] went towards Mireya since Sara didn’t need it, after all, she has her own.

[ Nemean Hooded Coat ] was given to Aileen and lastly, [ Nemean Great Sword ] to Mayla.

.. …

After resting for a bit and eat, the group proceeded towards the stairs leading downwards.

However, they immediately shocked the moment they started walking through the stairs.

It was like another world.

So wide…

This was the first thought that had come into their minds the moment they saw the next floor.

As they were descending, they could see the entire fifth floor.

However, what made them extremely surprised was that unlike the normal Dungeon –like the appearance of the 1st -4th floor, the fifth floor was a forest!

An extensive forest so to speak.

An underground… forest…?!

Lush and dense trees over 10 meters tall lined the forest and the atmosphere was damp that the group unconsciously thought 'Is this really the same dungeon from before!?' in their minds.

From where they were standing on the stair –A tall mountain can even be seen.

And between the forest and the mountain, was a vast clearing covered in lush green grass, where gigantic ox –type monsters sauntered around.

“I had expected this but –there really is a place like this in this Dungeon,” Mayla muttered in astonishment.

Safe zone –Bestiary.

The fifth floor of the Dungeon, according to Allen’s map, this floor was where mild monsters and beasts with levels Rook and below can be found, walking around the place. Since it was only filled with weak monsters, it was called the Dungeon’s Safezone!

From what Allen had written on the Map –Although it was a safe zone and the monsters inside this place were weak but the treasures found in this place were one of the bests in this Dungeon. However, that is if you managed to find it.

“Then, at that top of that Mountain should be what husband called –Beastmen Gallery. A normal city filled with beast men people who were living peacefully in this Dungeon…” Mireya checks the map she had and muttered.

“Beast men, huh…” Sara muttered. Expectation surged from inside her.

Although she was a human but similar to Mireya, she can be considered as a Beastman due to her skills and abilities. What kind of new abilities would she acquire in this floor…?

Mireya didn’t know about this place as like the others, this was also her first time entering this Dungeon. When Allen came here, she had still not met him, much less with him.

“Now, this smells adventure~” Aileen licked her lips in excitement.

“Let’s go,”

As they continued descending the stair, the group immerses their selves in this breathtaking view.
