Nero, the Legendary Hunter

*Obscure Vibration!*

Nero created a dark arrow and used her special ability when shooting an arrow.

*Whoosh!*

The arrow vibrated in the air and pierced two level 5 cats. It dug into the ground and was still vibrating, wanting to go deeper.

Honda let out a sigh of admiration. 'It's like Jingu warned; Nero is special. I bet she'll be Rank 1 in Hunter School enrollment,' Honda thought.

*Boooom!*

"What was that!?" Looking in the direction of the crash that happened, they saw Choko explode the head of a feline.

Smiling awkwardly, Nero turned and said, "I think I overreacted."

"Choko, have you reached level 7?" Jingu didn't even say "gozaru" as usual when asking.

"Yes, thanks to Nero," Choko smiled.

"Oh…" Jingu's eyes sparkled and she looked at Nero.

"I still don't trust you enough to help you with something like that." Nero was sincere.

"I see..." Jingu was a little discouraged, but soon she perked up again. She just needed to prove she was someone to be trusted.

"My lovelies, kill these kittens for me, okay?" Nero said adoringly, but to those who heard, it sounded scary.

Nero's four pets started to attack. None of them were weak. If you were going to say one was weak, it would be Luna, the Platinum Wolf, but even she had level 6 strength. It was a one-sided massacre.

"Do we need to be here?" Honda asked wryly.

In a very short time, 8 monsters were killed and collected by Nero.

"Well, if you get up, there's nothing left for you, gozaru," Jingu said.

"Are you still going to continue with that?" Honda asked.

"I'm used to it." Jingu smiled and ran off with her samurai sword.

Choko meanwhile had already killed 3 and stored them in her Hunter Card. Honda saw that this was more of a race than a dungeon exploration and began to push. Nero's dark arrows whistled like the sound of death, for whenever she hit, there was instantly a dead cat.

10 minutes... After 10 minutes the room full of cats was wiped out. Only the big boss was left. Nero killed 27 and Choko had managed to kill 10.

"Who gets the big boss?" Nero asked.

"What do you mean, who gets them? We're not going to attack together to kill it! After all, it's level 7," Honda said.

"Oh, but I and Choko managed to kill this big kitten alone earlier," Nero said.

"..."

"I think I can too, degozaru." Jingu raised her hand.

"You mean I'm the only one who can't make it here?" Honda had never felt so useless.

"Relax, you're an archer. Besides, it's normal to be difficult to solo a boss." Nero comforted her.

"Yes, I'm an archer, that's why I can't. Not that I'm weak, yes, that's it." Honda self-hypnotized or else she would feel even more dejected. Maura and Alex just stared at this whole scene completely dumbfounded.

Yes, they'd seen it before, but it all felt like a dream, and looking at it now... It was surreal. The other groups they participated in this dungeon were all weak, weak, very weak compared to this group. Important things needed to be repeated 3 times.

"Nero, let me try?" Choko manifested.

"That's fine by me," Nero said.

"Same." Jingu and Honda also nodded.

Taking a deep breath, calming her fighting spirit, Choko opened her purple eyes that narrowed like the eyes of a phoenix and ran very fast towards the cat.

The cat this time was a white tiger with blue flames around it. He bared his sharp, pointy teeth when he saw Choko walk towards him. Crouching and picking up momentum, the tiger leapt up and attacked with its sharp claws surrounded by flame.

*Bang!*

Choko punched with her gauntlet and was forced to spin in the air backward and land on her feet. The tiger also backed away. Cornering Choko, the tiger was waiting for the best moment to attack. That went for Choko as well. She watched the tiger circle her, waiting for an opening to attack.

The tiger's eyes turned flame blue, and he attacked. At that moment, Choko saw the gap that she was waiting for on the left side near the leg.

*Booom!*

Choko was faster and attacked. The sound echoed loudly, and the tiger spun through the air and crashed into the cave wall. Choko didn't think that just because she had managed to land a blow hard enough. She ran towards the tiger and like a machine gun, she threw a lot of punches at the tiger's body.

When she realized he really died, Choko stopped and smiled satisfied. Honda was watching / observing this from a distance and shivered a little.

'I must remember not to provoke Choko...' she thought.

"Okay, now we can continue and go to the second floor, and this time we're going to clean up completely!" Nero raised her hand.

"Yes, let's go!" Choko was also excited.

"Why are they so excited?" Honda asked.

"Oh, about that, it's because we cleared all the monsters, but we hadn't killed the boss, so they must have been frustrated, degozaru," Jingu explained.

Of course, that was part of it, but also because Nero needed 250 Monster Cores… Well, very likely she'd have to break into the dungeon again tomorrow since it was unlikely they'd gather enough today.

The second floor had an average of 200 monsters. Even if Nero killed them all alone, it still wouldn't have been enough, since on the third floor it was hard to tell if they had a chance to explore.

Nero, followed by her 4 pets, went upstairs. On the second floor, many monkeys were seen. Speaking of monkeys, the one Nero controlled was very strong. His arms were mostly thicker than her waist. Not that Nero was fat, so she possibly was not a very good comparison. Anyway, the gorilla's arm was very strong, and he had the power of Yin-Yang. One could say he was a rare species. One punch from him was enough to defeat a monkey of the same level.

"Luna, don't eat any more of them raw this time. Wait for me to cook them first..." Nero had seen Luna open a monkey's chest and eat the heart.

"...."

"I see, she was supposed to level up." Nero then understood.

'Mhm? Lunar Princess roar? She is a princess? Did I kidnap a princess from the wolves? Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I'm glad she got stronger.' Nero smiled.

Luan's stats also grew a lot. She was now equivalent to a level 7 monster. As expected from a princess.

After eating the heart, Luna brought the rest of the body to Nero. Nero rubbed Luna's silky fur and tucked away the monkey's body. 'This was a level 6 monkey. As expected, my Luna is powerful.'

Nero created a bow and started attacking as well. After all, she needed a lot of Monster Cores.

'*Sigh*, I predict that I'll have to come back tomorrow to complete the mission and wear my Valkyrie armor...'
