Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 136 - 135: New Skills

"Okay, but be careful." Elsa kissed Nero's cheek.

"I will, don't worry." Nero smiled a little. After that, she re-entered the dungeon.

The guard who stands in front of the dungeon portal guarding was surprised that Nero was unharmed. After all, even Lady Elsa was not able to detect the assassin until he entered the dungeon.

'As expected from Lady Elsa's younger sister,' he thought.

Nero went back to cleaning the first floor of the dungeon as showers of arrows fell. Also, her arrow rain skill had risen to level 70.

Nero climbed the stairs and went to the second floor. Killing the spiders wasn't difficult for her. She also continued to use arrow showers. From start to finish, she only needed to use showers of arrows to kill the spiders, even the boss.

On floor 3, she continued using the arrow shower. Some didn't die in the first arrow shower. Even without heads, some of the stronger skeletons stayed alive, but Nero's summoning monsters went and finished those skeletons. And it seemed that Nero didn't find any abnormal skeletons like her little skeleton.

"Well, I expected this little one to be different," Nero muttered as she rubbed the little skeleton's skull.

Despite showing no reaction, the small skeleton's deep eyes gleamed a little.

"Move up." Nero said as she walked towards the stairs. The summoned monsters followed her.

The next floor was the bats. Still using arrow shower, Nero attacked non-stop, but was not able to kill all of the enemies with it, although, her arrow shower is now at level 72.

"Well, it's time to test some new attacks," Nero thought aloud as she pulled hard on the bowstring.

*BOOOM!*

An ultrasonic sound echoed. Knees slightly bent, an incredible concentration of sacred energy focused on a single arrow, when Nero let it loose, it expanded to be as thick as a bus. The sound of the wind blowing, along with the sound of the explosion, made the dungeon shake.

[Alert!]

No corpses were left to tell the story. Nero looked at the message, her eyes disappointed, yet at the same time happy. Yes, she had landed a very powerful blow that she chose to name: Sacred Cannon.

_ _

You created the Skill: [Sacred Cannon]: This skill is currently at level 1.

_ _

But unfortunately the ability was too powerful, and it had vaporized the bat corpses.

Nero's monsters looked at her in awe. Unlike Nero, they felt she was fabulous. Luna ran up to Nero and rubbed her wolf head against Nero's leg; she wanted to show her appreciation.

"Okay, let's continue," Nero told her pets with a smile. She knew it was no use fretting over spilled milk, so she decided not to worry about it now.

After that, Nero thought about the next skill she wanted to try creating. Making arrows, she let them float around her. After that, quickly, she shot arrows in all directions. Like a mirage, she seemed to be looking in all directions, attacking in all directions.

[Alert!]

[Your actions have created an Ability: Name It!]

Many bats dropped dead.

Nero looked at this and was satisfied. It was less potent, but it was enough to kill the bats and preserve the corpses.

Nero muttered, "Rain of Shots."

_ _

You created the Skill: [Rain of Shots]: This skill is currently at level 1.

_ _

What a useful technique it was. Nero kept using the ability: <Rain of Shots>. In a short time, she, with her pets, had killed all of the bats.

_ _

[Alert!]

[Skill: <Rain of Shots> has risen to level 9.]

_ _

'Good.' Nero smiled as the skill grew. She was already able to fire two arrows at the same time. Unlike arrow hail, this was a more sophisticated skill, so even if it was only two, the attack power was far greater than arrow hail.

Nero used <Plunder> on all of the bats before climbing to the next floor. On the next floor what she saw Beetles.

Nero saw their name and level. They were called called Iron Beetles, and their level ranged from 29 to 32.

'Now it won't be as simple as before,' Nero imagined, since the weakest of them was Rank C-.

Nero thought and went back to the bat floor. Taking out the assassin's corpse, she saw Gabi drool.

"You can eat; it's all yours," Nero smiled.

It was quite weird since it was a human she was using to feed Gabi.

As for the others, Nero pulled out several monster cores and said, "Level up fast, or else, I won't use you on the next floor."

Luna howled at feeling despised. She'd gone to separate cores for herself, and started absorbing faster than ever.

The other pets did the same. Even the skeleton that didn't show much reaction, absorbed the energy from the monsters' cores very quickly. Nero smiled at that.

Meanwhile, Choko and the rest had already reached the bat floor. This time, Jingu managed to attack and even kill some of the spiders on the previous floor, although not many, but it was still progress.

"Without Nero, we are taking twice as long," Honda commented. 

"You can't compare. Nero has that rain of arrows that is ridiculous, apart from the monsters summoned by her, who are as strong as us," Jair said with a sigh.

"Well then we need to try even harder," Choko said, "Instead of attacking this floor, I suggest we go back to the beginning. Bats are harder to kill. It would take a long time, so we'll prioritize the other floors instead."

"That's not a bad idea," Jana agreed, "Instead of wasting hours killing bats, we might as well go farm the previous floors. When only one pass is left to invade the dungeon, we can then kill the bats."

"I agree."

"Count on me."

Everyone agreed. It was reasonable to think so. It was then that they went downstairs and outside of the dungeon, they saw Elsa. Not wanting to worry them and break their concentration, Elsa didn't say what had happened to Nero but wished them luck.

Led by Choko, they started to farm the dungeon up to the 3rd floor.
