Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Reptile Dungeon Part 3

Nero stood at the back with a bow and arrow, paying more attention mainly to Taina and Seo Min-ji. Not because they are weaker, nor because she wanted to better understand their power, but rather, wanting to uncover any suspicious action.

She doesn't trust them, nor does she want to trust them anytime soon. The person she was founded with, Nera, was betrayed by someone she trusted a lot. She wasn't willing to make the same mistake.

However, it is clear after inheriting Nera's memories, Eliane always showed signs that she did not like her, however, Nera was too young and innocent to notice this.

But, she was different, although so far so good, she didn't notice any fluctuations in enmity towards the two, it was still too early to determine whether they are trustworthy or not.

In any case, she decided to keep an eye on both of them.

As she watched, Nero found that the two made a good team. Taina and Seo Min-ji were constantly killing green iguanas and saving them in the Hunter Card.

Hunters usually prefer to use [Plunder] at the same time as killing the beasts, but perhaps they were influenced by them and thought it better to do this later.

This was actually a good idea, considering the time it takes to use [Plunder], it's much more beneficial to do it after you're out of the dungeon, as long as you can find a more or less spacious and private place.

The combination of attacks from Nero's contracted magical beasts, Choko's attack power and the rest caused the green iguanas to be eliminated in a few minutes.

"He finished!" Taina groaned in relief. She put in a lot of effort alongside Seo Min-ji. Even though most of the green iguanas were injured from Nero's previous attacks, they were still higher level magical beasts than her.

"Let's get some rest," Nero said.

Nobody was against it.

After resting for a few minutes, they went to the next floor.

Salamanders were giant lizards engulfed in flames.

Powerful creatures of levels 23-25.

The number of salamanders was close to a thousand.

The moment they arrived they even saw one of these salamanders bite the cause of the other and spin very fast, severing the tail of the other salamander.

A fierce fight broke out between these two salamanders.

"Should I strike first again?" Nero asked.

Taina and Seo Min-ji knew this question was actually for the two of them, as Nero's group basically followed her lead.

"Yes, please do this." Seo Min-ji replied.

Taina beside her nodded, thinking along the same lines.

It was a reality that if there were too many, with their current level, it would be difficult to kill these salamanders that were too close to each other.

"Okay." Nero nodded. She also knew that her group was not against it. They were like her who prioritized speed.

Picking up the bow, she created twenty arrows of light.

*Whoosh!*

When the shot was fired, the arrows multiplied in the air.

_ _

[Congratulations, [Hail of Arrows] reached Level 81]

_ _

A smile curling her seductive lips, Nero drew another twenty arrows of light and shot toward the sky.

The arrows of light once again multiply as the first arrows have already fallen to the ground with the rains, causing substantial damage to the salamanders.

Salamanders' wailing cries echo.

They became agitated and furious, some of them already noticed the presence of Nero's group and ran on all fours toward them.

However, before they could approach, another shower of arrows fell!

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

Nero's magical beasts waited for the arrows to finish falling, and realizing that she wasn't going to attack again, they advanced.

Choko and the rest did the same.

Seo Min-ji looked at Nero before leaving with Taina.

She still couldn't help but be amazed at the potency of Nero's attack power using a bow and arrow.

It was simply bewildering.

'Good thing we're on the same side...' Seo Min-ji muttered in her heart.

She didn't even want to imagine being Nero's enemy.

Her talent was frightening.

Being so young, yet so powerful, it was very frightening.

She knew that even S-Class geniuses wouldn't necessarily be more powerful than Nero.

Pushing unnecessary thoughts from her mind, she focused on the moment she was about to clash with a salamander beside Taina.

Taina: "<Human Shield>!"

The instant Taina activates the skill, it causes taunt, at the same time, she becomes immobile for a few seconds. However, at this moment she was practically invincible for a few seconds.

Seo Min-ji: "<Fearless Warrior Court>!"

Seo Min-ji's sword rose and fell with full power, cutting off the salamander's head, taking advantage of the fact that she had full attention when attacking Taina.

"Good one, Jiji!" Taina, who was able to move again, gave Seo Min-ji a thumbs-up with a cheerful smile.

Since the skill was on cooldown, when they went to the next salamander, Taina used a different skill.

Taina: "<Poisonous Sting>!"

Taina skewers the salamander, this skill was capable of releasing a paralyzing poison.

"Take this!" Seo Min-ji yelled, "<Mutilation Wave!>"

From top to bottom, from bottom to top, left to right, right to left, it was sometimes she attacked with great speed when activating the skill. It was so fast that it was able to create post images of swords in red light.

In the next instant, the salamander that was slashed by Seo Min-ji stopped moving altogether.

"We will continue at this pace," Taina said with a happy smile.

The compatibility of the two was very good.

However, because they were low-level, they had to cull salamanders that were separated from the group.

Meanwhile, Jair, Nero, and the rest are killed at a frightening speed.

Each of their attacks was a dead salamander.

The same can be said of Nero's magical beasts, they were cleaning the ground with the blood of salamanders.

Their killing speed was very fast.

Other than that they were managing to coordinate with each other with much more mastery.

When Taina and Seo Min-ji were about to be surrounded by salamanders, they despaired, however, white arrows appeared on the salamanders' heads before they were able to attack them.

"Like here, feel free." Nero said from a distance: "Just move forward. If I see that you two are in danger, I'll help."

"Thanks." Seo Min-ji and Taina said in unison.

After that, they attacked with more ferocity.

Knowing that Nero was willing to help so much, they weren't going to be kind. It was better to take the chance they were given, or else they would regret it later.

Perhaps because of knowing that Nero was there if they needed it, Taina and Seo Min-ji started killing the salamanders much faster, even fighting two salamanders at the same time at times. Only stopping to take potions to replenish MP sometimes.

With the bow, Nero, who saw many salamanders surrounding Yui, attacked.

"<Holy Cannon>!"

In the next instant, a bolt of holy light created a powerful blast like a thick jet from a firefighter, only much more powerful in a straight line, killing every salamander in its path.

That shot only stopped when it hit the dungeon wall, it even made the dungeon shudder even slightly.

Taina and Seo Min-ji who saw this attack for the first time were frozen in utter shock.

It was even more surprising than the arrow rain, as this shot was able to shake the dungeon.

Time passed, and almost an hour later they finished the battle.

Fortunately or unfortunately these dungeon floors have no boss.

They finished cleaning the entire floor.

"Ahh, that was fun, Degozaru~" Jingu said with a smile. She liked the feeling of fighting several at once. It was most pleasant the feeling of tearing the magical beasts with her sword.

She had a sweet smile, but her body was stained with blood, a smile that didn't seem to match her current state.

"I agree." Yui licked her claw with a wicked smile.

The cold voice, along with her wicked smile scared even Jingu.

Taina and Seo Min-ji, who weren't used to Yui, were even more scared.

Right now, Yui has a more devilish appearance than usual.

However, then why did Nero think she was so cute?

Even Choko thought she was a little cute acting like that...

"By the way, what floor are we going to?" Nero asked.

They already stayed in the dungeon for a few hours, if they were to go too deep into the dungeon, it would be too late when they got out.

"How about up to the next floor?" Seo Min-ji asked softly. She wanted to at least kill a few Lizardmen before leaving the dungeon.

"Is it okay to be like this?" Nero looked at Jana and the rest.

Gradually each of them consented.

not next floor, the Lizardman was level 26-28.

There were approximately 1500, it would take at least 1 hour to finish cleaning the floor.

They'd better stop after that.

As everyone agreed, Nero wasn't against it either.

After resting for a long time, they made their way to the next floor.

As you would expect, there are several green two-legged humanoid lizards with small swords and shields.
