Looking at the scene before her, Lilith sighed; she was curious about what kind of ability could make one age so quickly; she almost asked Alex the secret of this skill before shaking her head. He might have a favorable impression of her; they may cooperate; this doesn't mean they should share their secrets, especially regarding abilities. Not knowing now doesn't mean she would never know. Lilith consoled herself before descending together with Sakuya.
''Wow! You were able to kill such a huge beast; only you can do it.'' Sakuya said the moment she descended.
Alex chuckled and responded, ''Well, it wouldn't have been possible without you. It was because you distracted it; more importantly, your attack made the monster open its mouth, thus allowing me to unleash my attack.''
''We indeed helped, but the credit goes to you. I wonder how many levels you have gained considering that the higher we go, the more XP we acquire after killing monsters, truly a strange dungeon.'' Lilith said while remembering that she had just gained another level.
Alex and Sakuya looked at each other; they could see what others wished to convey through their eyes even without saying it. Because they couldn't disclose her identity until she regained it, they sighed; if it weren't because of that, they would have told her because it was the dungeon she used to train in.
Alex smiled and answered, ''I have gained two levels.'' At the same time, his status window was before his eyes, and he fiddled with it.

''The Sand Lord is sure generous,'' Alex said while looking at the gigantic bones not too far from them. The other two followed his eyes and couldn't help but nod at his words. Indeed, the Sand Lord generously gave Alex a huge amount of XP to level up twice.
Sakuya, who was about to open her mouth to say something, stopped because, in the distance, she saw something that caught her attention and left her flabbergasted.
''An oasis.'' She shouted before her figure blurred as she disappeared.
''What?"
Both Alex and Lilith were shocked, they immediately followed after her and soon they also saw it, they were surprised as Sakuya was.
One kilometer from their previous position was an oasis, it wasn't big, but it was so beautiful that no word could be used to describe it, a small lake with clear water. This place was revolved around by trees, sounds of birds chirping rang out, and the fragrance of fragrant flowers drifted around the air. This place was a pretty good secluded paradise, Alex inhaled and immediately announced.
''We shall camp here tonight.''
Sakuya and Lilith nodded before they erected their respective tents, and soon, the sun disappeared, leaving the place to the moon.
•••••
The shimmering radiance of the fake dungeon starry sky once enveloped the sky, connecting to the distant darkness under the dungeon's guidance. The clouds slowly dissipated, exposing the bright, lustrous moon that illuminated the land from above, making this beautiful paradise even more beautiful. At this moment, Alex, Sakuya, and Lilith sat around a campfire, slowly enjoying the grilled fishes they caught in the lake.
''This dungeon might be unusual, but it knows how to balance things,'' Sakuya commented while looking at the moon reflected on the lake surface. They haven't seen the moon since entering the dungeon, but today, just after finding this beautiful place, the moon also appeared as if to show this place full beauty.
''A little is known about dungeons. Maybe in the higher worlds, their understanding of dungeons must have surpassed ours. They know something we don't know.'' Alex said as he finished his grilled fish coated with butter.
''I can't wait to see what is on the other side. I wonder if our other classmates are doing fine?" Sakuya said and remembered a certain annoying girl who goes by the name of Eri.
''Well, there must be doing fine. They will have experienced all kinds of hardships, adventures and grow stronger. we need to finish things here, get stronger, and together go to higher worlds.'' Alex said while looking at the other two.
Somehow, hearing about higher worlds made Lilith's heart skip, her vision began to blur, she started to feel uncomfortable, so she said.
''Excuse me, I'm feeling unwell. I will be going first.''
''Sure!" After observing Lilith's body, he noticed that something wasn't right but couldn't point out what it was, so he decided to let her rest.
After Lilith departed, Sakuya looked at Alex for a second before finally asking.
''What it's her problem?"
''Maybe she is tired after all that happened. Maybe it's because we are getting closer to where her other sealed power is.'' Alex speculated; Sakuya thought about for a moment and found all these speculations logical; she heaved a sigh and said while looking at the moon in the sky.
''Let's hope that everything goes well.''
''Don't worry, we will succeed,'' Alex said, and a sudden idea struck him, smiling he declared.
''Sakuya, let have a bet.''
''Oh? I'm curious.'' Sakuya's black eyes twinkled, and she smiled, focusing her eyes on Alex.
Alex pointed his finger at the lake in the distance and announced the condition of the bet.
''No skill is allowed, only normal swim, the winner will be the king for one hour and the winner orders are absolute.''
''Wow! I'm in.'' Sakuya's eyes shone with dark luster, and she stood up. She was confident in her swimming skill, so she believed she wouldn't lose.
Alex smiled and followed her.. Time for some sweet time.
