Nero, The Legendary Hunter

After entering the dungeon, Nero and the rest began attacking without fail. Once they knew the pattern of attack on the first floor, it was easy for them to defeat the goblins. When they reached the second floor, Jingu did not pass out, but was white as snow, unable to move.

"I-"

Honda interrupted her. "Jingu, just watch. Don't force yourself, but try to get over your fear a little."

"I… will, thanks, *degozaru.*" Jingu looked at Honda gratefully.

"Mm... Step back a little," Nero warned, "Don't go forward for now. Let me kill the weak first."

"Okay." They all backed off. In the next instant, Nero created ten black arrows - yes, ten at once - and pulled hard. Then she used the ability: <Rain of Arrows>!

From 10, the arrows in the sky became 660 dark energy arrows. When the cloud of arrows started to fall, it became a storm of arrows.

Without pausing, she continued to do more. It was a shower of arrows that seemed endless. The strange screams of spiders came from everywhere. There was nowhere to run. Hundreds of spiders had already died, while others were seriously injured.

After attacking a total of five times, Nero stopped attacking. The dark energy arrows began to fade. Nero grabbed a mana potion and downed it all in one gulp. Everyone else's mouths were big enough to each hold a goose egg.

Just then when Yui said, "Wow!", everyone else also had the same reaction, sighing in admiration, even disbelief.

It was too fantastic to be true. The place that had once been full of rabid spiders was now like an ant nest that had been trampled on noisily, leaving only a few alive but with serious injuries.

"What are you waiting for?" Nero looked at them. "Take the opportunity now to kill the remaining ones."

Swallowing dry saliva, they said in unison, "Yes!"

"As expected, Nero is fantastic." Choko grinned from ear to ear.

Yui nodded and added, "Nero can clean a dungeon by herself very easily."

"Yes, but she still prefers to go with us," Choko said proudly. She knew Nero coming into her life was the best thing that had ever happened. In every way, she thought Nero was sensational.

While they were talking, Choko and Yui had started killing the remaining spiders. As there weren't many left, it didn't take long for all of them to be exterminated.

"Nero is so cool, *degozaru*!" Jingu was the most impressed. With her phobia of spiders, seeing them all die like that was quite satisfying for her. Jingu was right behind Nero. She was hiding with fear visible in her eyes. Perhaps seeing Nero's great power made her feel safer beside her.

Nero drew another arrow. This time it was aimed at the boss. The arrow was spirally shaped, creating a whirl around with the power of dark energy. Instantly, fresh blood flowed from the large spider's body, along with a miserable scream. The blood was green and slimy.

With her heart in her mouth, Jingu watched as several spiders were killed. Still, it wasn't enough to overcome the phobia she felt, but it was better than before. These days she felt less terrified.

Minutes later, all the spiders were killed, as well as the boss that took several arrows from Nero and fell dead to the ground.

"I'll gather them up." Yui went flying through the dungeon while collecting the spider corpses.

When finished using <Plunder>, Nero distributed the monster cores with the group and they meditated for the next few minutes.

Now, in front of the stairs, they went up and reached the third floor. At the top they found a horde of skeletons. No matter how many times they saw it, it was amazing how many skeletons were all in one place. It was a herd of moving bones making strange bone-cracking sounds.

"This is the floor I like the most," Yui smiled as she said in her cold voice. The feeling she felt when breaking the bones of skeletons was priceless. It was pleasant in a way she couldn't explain.

"I say the same," Honda laughed, "The sound they make when breaking them using my arrows is a gratifying satisfaction."

"I totally understand that, *degozaru*," Jingu smiled a little. Preferably, she wanted to be able to continue killing on this floor, without having to kill the spiders.

*Crack, crack!*

Without Nero's command, Luna headed towards the skeletons. Nero had forgotten how much Luna liked skeletons...

Among her summonable monsters, Luna proved to be the quickest to kill. She was agile and flexible. Her sharp white teeth broke the bones of skeletons in one bite. First she broke their legs if they were two-legged, then their skulls. Luna's movements increased as she fought. She chewed bones in the process, which helped to replenish her mana.

"By the way, where is the boss?" As hard as she tried, Choko couldn't see the boss.

"There." Nero pointed in one direction. Choko followed the direction Nero was pointing and shock was blasphemous to describe what Choko was feeling.

"How can this be possible?" Choko looked at the small skeleton that was half a meter tall in humanoid form, covering her own mouth so as not to let out the scream of surprise.

"I want it..." Nero muttered as her eyes were staring straight at the small skeleton.

It was crystal blue in color as if it wasn't made of bone but rather molded from sapphire stone. It was incredibly beautiful, even adorable.

"That's a good idea. It looks strong, although it's quite small." Choko didn't disagree. She was delighted with the appearance of the small sapphire blue bone skeleton.

When Nero saw the little skeleton using wind all over its body, her eyes sparkled brightly.

"Elemental..." Unlike dragons that could use the fire and lightning elements, what the little skeleton was doing was different. It was like its body was made of wind. It was an elemental creature, something very rare and precious.

"I knew this little one was rare." Choko clicked her finger smugly.
