Chapter 89 - 88: Completing Floor 4
Nero enchanted the Black Widow Sword's blade and the attack power increased by 100. She jumped into the air, and like a meteor, she fell, pointing the sword to the ground.
*<Flaming Impact>!*

You defeated the Earth Monster: [Cow/Bull] Rank F: Level 8.

The message in her retina telling her that she had killed a Cow/Bull appeared about 15 times.
The other cows fled in fear. Flames were burning the green lawn on the ground. 6 lines of fire marks had appeared and we still burning.
"Powerful!" Jingu and the rest were slack-jawed. It was the first time they had seen Nero use this attack.
*<Burning Wind>!*
Nero cut towards the fleeing cows and bulls and cut down more than 6 of them.

You defeated the Earth Monster: [Cow/Bull] Rank F: Level 8.

"Choko, if you just stand there, I'll kill them all," Nero said.
"Oh..." Choko woke up from her stupor and went to attack again, as she had already regained her vigor. Choko also had the <Flaming Impact> ability, but it didn't do as much damage as when Nero had used it. Choko then remembered she had a better attack more suited for herself, so she used it.
*<Explosive Impact>!"
Her punch exploded on the ground and the bulls and cows around were caught by the explosion, and some were stunned, while 4 died.
Choko used Quick Combo, <Dragon Fist>, <Hurricane Punch>, and <Storm Kick>, killing another 8 Cows and Bulls.
*<Lightning Leap>!*
Almost without stamina and mana, Choko took the bodies and fled. She then sat on the floor and meditated.
Looking forward, she saw a goddess. Well, it was Nero, with her hair blowing in the wind, wearing an armor that made her appear extremely beautiful and empowered. Holding her sword, she cut the cows and bulls as if she was mowing grass. It wasn't her running away from the monsters, but rather the monsters running away from her. She ran after the monsters and killed them at an amazing speed.
Jingu and Honda were already red-eyed from rubbing, trying to know if they were hallucinating or not. Because... even level 9 monsters were killed with one attack. It was worse than leaving a wolf in a herd of sheep.
There was even one who attacked Nero with its horns, and look, he died... Why? She could reflect 70% of the physical damage taken and it was too much for the bull. One can imagine the bull's rage. He had used all his strength and ended up dying from his own attack... Poor bull~
Worse than reflecting, she created a shock wave that stunned the surrounding bulls and cows, after which Nero quickly decapitated them all. In less than 5 minutes, another 100 cows/bulls were victims of Nero's attacks.
Now the whole herd of bulls and cows feared Nero. They ran away from her. Even though they were monsters, they wouldn't fight someone against whom they couldn't even retaliate. Nero had to keep running after them to keep killing them.
Choko recovered after five minutes and returned to attack. This time she only killed five because it was difficult. They were all running mad, afraid of Nero. She also got tired of chasing bulls and cows to kill them and had to rest again to regain her strength.
"This was supposed to be a fight against level 8 and level 9 monsters, yes?" Honda asked with a forced smile.
"Well, don't forget Nero is already at level 12," Jana said.
"That's…" Everyone else nodded.
Nero's constant abuse of bulls and cows continued, while Choko managed to kill 4-5 times. In the end, Choko had killed 45 level 8 monsters.
Panting and sweating heavily Choko was sitting on the floor next to Jana and the rest. Nero had killed 333 level 8 and 114 level 9. And then there was the boss who also seemed to be shaking with fear as he saw Nero walk towards him.
"This situation is bizarre." Their party saw a 5 meter tall bull running away from Nero and Nero running after him and slashing with her sword.
"Damn you scaredy bull, stop running!" Nero screamed and ran even faster to stop in front of him and use *<Flaming Impact>!*
The bull's head was sliced ??like a watermelon in several pieces and on fire.

You defeated the Earth Monster: [Boss: Bull Bandit] Rank F: Level 12.

"Humph! Now you stop," Nero snorted. She was getting tired of running after this huge bull.
Tucking the corpse into the Hunter Card, she smiled brightly at the others. "Do you want to continue, or go back?"
"I want to go back. I want to get stronger, degozaru," Jingu said.
"Me too." Honda agreed.
Jair, Jana, and Breno also wanted to go back. Choko was also quite tired.
"Well, okay then, let's go back." Nero picked up all the scattered bulls and cows, then put her hands behind her head as she started to leave.
For completing Floor 4, their names were engraved, even Jingu and the rest who did nothing, but as they were part of the group, they also had their names registered.
When they left, the entire city was waiting outside for the heroes who completed the fourth floor. A round of applause exploded amidst shouts and screams.
Jana, Jair, Breno, Honda, and Jingu felt ashamed to be revered. After all, they had done absolutely nothing on Floor 4. However, they were still getting applause for something they didn't do. Even the mayor of the city came to honor the heroes. It was a very embarrassing situation.
After finally getting out of that mess, they all went to Choko and Nero's inn. After all, they still needed rewards. They even won medals as champions who conquered the 4 floors of the dungeon. It was really funny, Jana's reaction and the rest. Nero and Choko managed not to laugh, but by the time they got to the inn, they were looking at them who were red like tomatoes and laughed every now and then.
"Happy to win medals directly from the city mayor?" Nero provoked.
"..." They responded with silence.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop. Anyway, let's get started." Nero placed down a talisman to not leak what they were going to say and started using <Plunder> on Jana, Jair, Breno, Honda, and Jingu first.
There were 33 Monster Cores for each of them of the level 7 creatures and 2,739 for each of Essence Coin. Jingu got 66 Monster Cores level 6 and 4,818 coins. Honda got 67 Monster Cores and 4,893 coins. Jair and Jana got 10 Monster Core LV6 and 730 coins each. Breno 11 Monster Cores level 6 and 802 coins.
In the end, everyone was quite happy, and had managed to make a small fortune and got a lot of Monster Cores. Apart from the items, Nero gave them everything else that had been collected and they decided to resell them later, as they had no use for it.
Choko had 33 Monster Cores level 6: 2,442 coin – 37 Monster Cores level 7: 3,108 coin - 45 Monster Cores level 8: 4,320 coin. In total: 9,870 coins.
The group gasped loudly at the sight of Choko's result: almost 10,000 at once and without selling the items that would make her even more money.
Nero's result: 22 level 7: 1,826 coin – 447 level 8: 43,359 coin - 114 level 9: 24,852 coin – 2 level 10: 438 coin - 1 level 12: 292 coin. In total, she made: 70,767 coins.
Honda muttered, "This is not good for the heart. Did she get all this [Essence Coin] just using <Plunder>? Imagine when she sells the items..." The others nodded in silence.
After that, they didn't leave but started creating pentagrams on the ground and meditating with the Monster Cores on the ground.
"Hey, this place is small! Go to your own inns!" Nero said. They continued to meditate.
However, when Choko's turn came, they saw what a monster she was. She not only pulled the energy from her Monster Cores, she was also pulling from them.
Quickly, they stored away their Monster Cores.
"We're going. As Nero said, this place is small, degozaru." Yes, everyone believed that lie.
The others left without speaking. Jana, Jair and Breno went to the reception to rent two rooms.

'The ones from LV10 and LV12 I'll keep...' Nero thought. Her stat had increased a lot, but there was still a long way to go to get to level 7.

'Well, it's 708 Monster Cores for me to level up.' Nero sighed as she felt her strength grow absurdly. She also noticed a bad smell.. Despite not leveling up, she had expelled some impurity, so she went to take a shower while leaving Choko meditating.
