Alex and the two girls searched for somewhere safe to camp and finally found it; it was a place near a waterfall, beautiful flowers filled the area.
After erecting tents, the three took a rest.
Fours hours later, the fake sun hanging in the sky had left, leaving place to a darkness that embraced the dungeon's land like a mother embracing her child.
In the night forest, the sounds of mayflies persistently echoed. In such an environment, three people sat around a campfire that was constantly emitting cracking sounds.
Lilith and Sakuya recounted their experiences until here. Alex was shocked that Lilith had once faced Incursio; that girl was, without doubt, a monster. If you asked Alex if he had confidence winning even with his full strength, he would have said he wasn't confident.
''I see; that is what happened,'' Alex said as he waved a long sigh. It was his turn, he told the girls what happened, they were also shocked that he almost died, Sakuya was the most touched as this news scared her, she was afraid of losing him, the only solution for that to never happen would be to have the strength and to be surrounded by strong allies to which you can entrust your back to, they must help Lilith get back was rightfully hers.
''So that girl, what is her name again?"
''Incursio.'' It was Sakuya who answered Alex's question; he nodded as he finally remembered that she had introduced herself as such before vanishing; that time, Alex wasn't present; hence he didn't register that name.
''She must be a member of the mysterious organization behind Alexandra kidnapping.'' Alex declared, his heterochromia eyes shone with a dangerous light, at such finding he would need to kill this Loli to at least deal serious damage to that organization whose name remains unknown, but the purpose should be world domination.
''We need to prepare for the next floors. This dungeon is like a naughty child throwing tantrums. We must stick together and go to the end of the dungeon to acquire what we are after before the others did because they would try to get it before us. It's a race against time where the fastest will gain everything will the slowest will be the loser. The road ahead will be hard filled with hardships, but we must persevere and reach our goal while on the way plucking two or three flags to deal serious damage to the enemy.''
Alex's speech made the girl's eyes shine with determination; Lilith was determined than ever to deal serious damage at her brother without knowing that everything had something to do with her if only she knew that the thing there were about to acquire could fully awaken her, turning her back to what she was once was.
''I suggest that we follow Alex's advice. He is the leader after all.'' It wasn't unexpected that Sakuya decided to follow Alex's advice; she came here in the first place because she decided to follow him. Naturally, she must be supportive of his ideas.
Without hesitation, Lilith decided to follow Alex's advice. Alex smiled and declared.
''We must depart in two hours and search for the exit for the next level. I don't know how many floors this thing has, but he must move quicker than the others. I don't know if the Vampire Duchess was sent ahead of us; it's still where unknown Leonardo and his comrade location or Incursio's location are. Taking into account all these things, we must hurry up and get that thing before there does.''
The girls nodded; two hours passed in the blink of an eye, the three started moving.
In the dark forest, they advanced.
''Tch, they're persistent.'' Sakuya, who was advancing at the front, brandished his katana at the darkness before her while clicking her tongue. A Spriggan that was about to attack had its head cut off and fell before it could even scream.
''Seriously, are we crazy to go through the forest at night?" Sakuya couldn't help but question; she hadn't thought that monsters would be so active at night.
''You didn't say anything during the strategy meeting a few hours ago. Too late now, isn't it?''
As she said that, Lilith thrust her sword into a 2 m long Giant Bat without a sound; it was skewed, it was pierced by the black sword, unable to emit a cry before dying.
The group proceeded on; another two hours passed as they kept advancing forward; they left the green forest to appear in a white world.
Alex looked around and sighed involuntarily. There was no helping it. The only thing he could see around him was wilderness. Snow was piled up thinly. The sky was covered with clouds, and a cold wind was blowing. It was just a winter landscape.
Suddenly, twenty wolves surrounded the group; before Alex could move, the two girls moved and slew the twenty wolves.
When the twenty wolves died, a phenomenon happened, a white condensed into a gigantic wolf, twenty meters in height; the death of twenty wolves seemed to have been the trigger for this giant wolf to appear; it howled.
''Awooooooo!!"
The giant charged at Alex after awakening, Sakuya moved, she sent two sword slashes toward the monster's legs, there were cleanly cut off, and the giant wolf tumbled forward before its head could touch the ground a giant lightning spear tore through the air and pierced its head before it exploded into a gory scene.
Because she was the biggest contributor during this fight, Sakuya earned most of the XP, making her leveled up; she gained one level.
