YM778.TV Chapter 30 - 30
Unlike when hunting monsters outside the dungeon, in the dungeon it was much easier to rise in power since the monsters in the dungeon were better in quality. Although, it was also true that it was more difficult to kill monsters in a dungeon.
"Okay, you can come in," the guard said who was in charge of the entrance to the dungeon.
Choko and the rest took out their weapons before entering the dungeon and soon after they started to enter.
"Wow!" They were all surprised.
In the dungeon, what faced them was the sight of something similar to a cave, though many times larger. Even in some places on the ceiling there were white crystals that illuminated the dungeon.
\'How precious are these crystals?\' Nero found herself thinking.
Nero never stopped being cautious after entering the dungeon; she was constantly looking every which way on alert. Choko thought this scene was cute. Nero\'s serious expression left her almost mesmerized, but soon she forced herself to look away.
The walls were made of stones. In some places on the walls the stones formed sharp points, so it was good to be careful. While the floor also appeared to have been made primarily of stone, there were places where the floor was made of sand.
Looking from one side to the other, they did not have time to relax and enjoy the scenery as three scorpions measuring about 30 cm burrowed out of the ground made of sand and were coming towards them.
Feeling the air temperature warm, Nero glanced at Jana and saw that she was conjuring a fireball.
The fireball was launched incredibly fast! When it hit the body of the middle scorpion, the scorching flames began to burn the monster and splash the flames as if it were a water balloon that burst on the ground. The fire then spread, and splashed on the other 2 scorpions.
Terrified, the scorpions moved away from the middle scorpion.
When the two scorpions dispersed, Jair and Breno were already waiting for this and attacked!
With a loud cry, Breno used his spear and attacked in a straight line towards the scorpion\'s head. His jab was so fast that the scorpion, which was fleeing due to the fire, didn\'t have time to dodge and found his death when Breno pulled the spear from its head, green blood dripping from the hole the spear left behind.
Jair jumped high, somersaulting, before crashing down and using his sword to pierce the back of the final scorpion and pulled the sword towards the head of the scorpion as it made strange sounds, cutting up through the entire head of the scorpion. Green blood began to run through the cut.
There were only three scorpions, all of them level three, so Choko and Nero didn\'t have to attack at all. Just one attack was needed to kill each of the scorpions.
When they finished killing the three scorpions, they used their cards to loot the dead bodies of the scorpions.
Jana approached Nero two minutes after finishing looting and said, "After I saw you throw stones, I had the brilliant idea of doing this with balls of flame. What did you think?"
"It was very good," Nero answered her, "since the speed has now increased."
"Yes, I was very happy when I managed to do that!" She exclaimed happily.
"Kyaa!" Suddenly, Choko shouted.
"What happened, Choko?" Everyone looked in her direction, worried, but only to find Choko\'s face flushed.
She murmured sheepishly, "A drop of water fell on my shoulder..."
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, they tried their hardest not to laugh. All this happened while Choko had her head down almost sinking into the middle of her breasts, wanting to hide her embarrassment.
When they were passing by the edges of the sand, they moved with extra caution, since there was a possibility that more scorpions would pop out of the sand.
Curious, Nero asked suddenly, "I am in doubt. If I kill a monster and use the Hunter card, I can plunder the monster, right? Also, would I be able to take the core from the card\'s storage in order to cultivate using the core\'s energy?"
Choko, who was closest to her, replied, "Yes, as long as you get a monster core, you can use this means of raising your strength. It is also common knowledge when someone moves up to E Rank it increases the amount of energy they can get out of the monster cores."
"Oh, does that mean that if I use it now, only a part of the core energy will come to me?" Nero asked again.
"Yes, at the moment we can only get a maximum of 20% of the energy in the monster core. Someone who upgrades their Hunter card to Rank E, that person would be able to draw up to 30% of the energy from a monster core," Choko explained.
Nero nodded in understanding when she heard her explanation.
\'What would be the difference between the system, and this Hunter Card I just received?\' Nero harbored this doubt in mind.

[Demonic Acid Slime was summoned]
[Platinum Wolf - Luna was summoned]

Nero summoned her two domesticated monsters. She wanted to make the most of her level up in this dungeon and by having both tamed monsters helping, she knew it would be easier.
"Nero, is this thing also your tamed monster?" Jana asked, surprised.
"Yes," Nero said with a smile, "It is very ugly, right? Well, at least it is strong and has good immunity against poison."
"Mm, I can\'t help but agree that this little thing is very ugly, but if it is strong, that is what matters," Jana agreed with a smile. Her smile then twisted into a strange expression as she turned her attention toward Luna, "Luna, don\'t be afraid; come here with Jana..."
"Woof!"
Luna howled, showing her teeth, but seeing that Jana showed no fear and continued walking towards her, Luna ran and stayed behind Slime. What surprised Luna was that Jana stopped walking and stared at her with concern.
"Haha. Are you afraid of my Slime?" Nero asked with a chuckle. She also noticed that Choko made sure to keep her distance.
"Well... This monster is very scary," Jana admitted. She sighed and gave up trying to hug and caress Luna.
"Don\'t worry. After we leave, I\'ll let you play with Luna a little," Nero said slowly, not wanting to say anything wrong, "But for now let\'s focus on finishing the first floor of the dungeon, okay?"
"Okay, you promised, so you better stick to it," Jana smiled.
"Nero..." Choko approached cautiously, trying her best not to get too close to the Slime as well.
"Come, let\'s continue." Nero smiled at her.
"En." Choko nodded with a cute expression.
