Funny enough Bell simply never made it home that night but we didnt panic knowing he was escorting Eina around and Guild employees are probably the safest people to be around as no one wants to fuck with the people who calculate your taxes.

But me and the girls found him sheepishly standing in front of the dungeon obviously waiting for us. "So did you have a good night with Eina, Bell?" I ribbed him as Lili kicked him in the shin for making us have to check the guild for him and the minor freak out when we found he never returned.

"Well it turns out Eina is a bit of a mix between happy drunk and an angry drunk, so we got kicked out of the dinner we were in as she got caught up in her drinks after complaining about her coworkers." Bell explained.

"So, I assume you later escorted her back to her place and what stayed the night there?" Ryuu questioned Bell.

Bell getting what the Elf was insinuating sputtered. "I didnt do anything like that! She just fell asleep at the restaurant and after I took her back it was already super late and I didnt want to wake everyone up stomping back in!"

"Relax Ryuu, Eina would sooner hang Bell to be beaten like a dirty rug with sticks than allow someone to do anything to her not that Bell would do anything in the first place." I cut in seeing as Ryuu was going to further question the rabbit, and frankly this wasn't a conversation for the public to hear...

An hour or so later we managed to get into the middle floors, and we stayed on the fourteenth floor as Ryuu adamantly refused letting us into the Fifteenth floors and above till, we had at least A rank stats as a Minotaur grabbing onto us with our strength could be a death sentence and I wasn't all too bummed about it as my quests refreshed with the next tier of monster kills from yesterday's introducing the monster's down here to my kill list.

'I am seriously getting very annoyed by the monsters jumping out of these crevices.' I thought kicking a diving Hellhound to the side as I decapitated the Lami trying to blindside with my greater reach.

Lili who was watching the battlefield with her Bow gun mounted on a little stalagmite shot the Hellhound I kicked aside making it poof into smoke as the lamia I killed likewise dropped a magic stone.

I jogged over to Bell who was dancing around a couple Wyverns taking little stabs at them when they stopped blowing flames at him.

"Bell, heads up!" I called and sent a solid blade of fire at the one of the wyverns with a swing of my sword and as the hit wyvern turned onto me, I already switched back to the axe form and brought it down in a powerful downward swing that split open it's skull and made the shitty dragon turn to smoke.

Now with Bell having a bit more space he was able to tear out the throat of the wyvern which after he left it to bleed out and go help Lili take care of a small pack of Hellhounds harassing Lili.

Seeing my fellow party members were doing fine I looked towards the strongest member of our group as Ryuu was a whirlwind of violence as she was simply too strong to be down here as with almost lazy blows, she shattered the guards of monsters and killed them almost always with a single blow and it was only when we had a large party of monster's trying to jump us that she used her magic.

It was a beautiful sight seeing Ryuu call out "Luminous Wind" and several bright orbs formed out of thin air within the crowed of monsters but with a whispered. "Luvia." The orbs then exploded in a bright flash that tore apart the poor monsters with blades of wind and light.

So basically, our gear was carrying us level ones easily but Ryuu on the other hand was a level four about to reach level five as she was naturally a genius and who was almost able to meet Ais's records as she leveled up but after now getting back into contact with Astrea, I am sure within a couple weeks she will level up and become a level 5.

"Damned Hard Armored's." I groaned as I wrenched my sword out of its charred corpse as I couldn't actually kill the thing by just cooking it like softer monster's when I surround myself in flames because of there exo skeleton would isolate a lot of the heat even if there face gets destroyed by the heat the brain would survive long enough for them to charge about in the flame's and cause me issues.

Lili on the over hand had the best time with her strong bow gun as it was able to shoot the bolts through the armor and would tear up the insides. Not to mention the most import part, armored monsters were much slower than other monster's.

As we were farming monsters a loud roar rang through the tunnel, we were in making us blink in surprise at the new sound, but Ryuu and Bell answered at the same time. "Minotaurs!?" Well Bell sounded a bit scared, but Ryuu was more confused than anything.

A trio of minotaur's soon stumbled within our tunnel, and they weren't armed with the standard landform weapons, no they were wielding adventures weapons and were clearly injured as they staggered closer to us.

"Jake, Bell I will get rid of one of those but the other two is up to you as this a perfect opportunity to fight a level two monster in a controlled environment." Ryuu spoke and then flashed forward as she covered the three-dozen meter gap between us almost instantly and as she hopped through air and passed by one of the minotaur's, its head fell from its body as it turned towards the woman who passed it.

Meanwhile me and Bell separated the two Minotaurs as we began a pitched battle with the monsters that fought somewhat like humans but there ferocity was certainly not seen by mortals as it wasn't just the minotaur swinging it's Great Sword at me. it was trying to gore me with its horns, trying to kick me through a wall with its powerful legs, or switching between grabbing or punching at me with its free hand between its wide swung motions of the large sword.

As it went for another headbutt to gore me on its horns I met its face with a harsh punch to its right eye and through my gauntlet I could feel its soft orb pop beneath my fierce blow and as it clutched its face and reared back roaring in agony, I swung my great sword and cut off its arms and slightly into its chest, but I could feel my great Sword grinding against the durable monsters' ribs.

But now with no arms even as it went to simply bowl me over with a dead sprint as I stared into its remaining glowing eye, I shoved my sword through its throat making it stop and then poofed into smoke.

With a tired sigh I shrugged my numb arm that took the blows that I couldn't dodge on my shield and carefully watched Bell deal with his own Minotaur, and I saw Ryuu standing there with her sword ready to dash in at a moment's notice if Bell should fail.

Whereas my Minotaur was wielding a large great sword and its wounds was focused on its chest, Bell's on the other hand was wielding dual axes and it was basically ham strung as it was having to hop on one leg as it tried to sloppily chop Bell into pieces.

Soon enough Bell was able to finish off the wounded leg leaving the monster with only one leg and as it laid on its back Bell was able to smash the Glaive into the poor minotaur's face making it poof into smoke and him collapse to his knees in exhaustion from dodging around the beast's violent swipes at him.
