The darkness seemed to swallow the feeble light, leaving only the glow of Brian's determined eyes.

Without hesitation, Brian's fists blazed with fiery intensity as he lunged forward to meet the undead guardian's attack. His elemental power surged through him, and his fiery punches collided with the boss's spectral form, sending sparks flying.

The undead guardian was relentless, its movements swift and unpredictable. It swung its ghostly claws at Brian, but he expertly dodged, his reflexes sharpened by years of combat training.

With a powerful uppercut, Brian struck the guardian's jaw, the impact resonating through the chamber. The boss let out a haunting wail, but Brian pressed on, his fiery spirit undeterred.

The room crackled with elemental power source as Brian and the undead guardian engaged in a fierce dance of fire and darkness. The guardian's form flickered, almost ethereal, making it difficult for Brian to anticipate its next move.

Undeterred, Brian unleashed a barrage of fiery punches, each strike fueled by his determination to overcome the malevolent foe. The boss retaliated with a burst of dark energy, but Brian's agility allowed him to evade the attack with a swift backflip, leaving a trail of flames in his wake.

As the battle intensified, the dungeon room seemed to shrink around them, the walls pulsating with the clash of their powers. The guardian's spectral claws sliced through the air, but Brian's fiery fists met each strike head-on, countering with scorching blows.

As they clashed, the dungeon room erupted in a whirlwind of elemental power. The guardian attempted to ensnare Brian with dark magic, but he summoned a barrier of flames, shielding himself from the malevolent assault.

Brian's eyes blazed with determination as he closed the distance between them once more. He weaved around the guardian's attacks, his fists leaving trails of fire with each strike.

With a fierce battle cry, Brian unleashed a devastating combination of fiery punches, causing the undead guardian to stagger back. The boss's spectral form flickered, but it remained steadfast in its desire to snuff out Brian's flame.

In response, Brian focused his fire, his fists becoming like molten metal, hotter and more relentless with each blow. The room swirled with elemental chaos as he pushed the guardian to its limits.

The boss retaliated with a surge of dark energy, but Brian channeled his elemental power, absorbing the attack and converting it into a blazing inferno that engulfed his fists.

With a final burst of strength, Brian unleashed his ultimate technique, a blazing comet of fire hurtling toward the undead guardian. The room shook with the force of the impact as the boss let out a final, anguished scream.

In a dazzling display of fiery power, the undead guardian dissipated into ashes, its malevolence finally extinguished. Brian stood victorious amidst the aftermath of the intense battle, his chest heaving with exertion.

"Now come"

[Ace POV]

Although I knew that the fastest way to reach the settlement was to fly, there was the issue of how the others would get there.

Based on my past knowledge, only Anna had the ability to fly while the others didn't. However, I had a solution in mind, but I needed to confirm if anything had changed.

　

　 

　  　　　　　　　　 　

　

"Who among you can fly?" I turned to face my teammates and asked.

They seemed visibly confused by the expressions on their faces, but they still answered.

"I can't," both Emma and Chris said, while unsurprisingly, Anna was the opposite.

Just as I had expected, which was not a problem. Thinking of this, I looked back at my tamed beast and wondered how many people Blue would be able to carry with his size.

Yes, I considered turning my pet into a mount to reach the settlement. It shouldn't be an issue since it would only take a while to get there. 

With this plan in mind, I clapped my hands together and explained it to my teammates, receiving odd looks from all of them, including Blue.

Though I could sense his thoughts and emotions, I felt Blue's reluctance, indicating he probably didn't like the idea of having people on his back besides me. But after a little pat on the neck, he calmed down, though still reluctant.

However, it seemed okay now, as he didn't look like he would throw the others off his back once they got on.

After spending a few minutes discussing a few things with my teammates, we got ready to move. Emma, Chris, and Mia, being the only ones unable to fly, were going to be carried by Blue to the settlement. 

Anna and I could fly, so we were going to fly alongside Blue and take breaks in between to recover our mana.

This was the rough plan I had in mind, and since my teammates had no problems with it, we proceeded.

I was not one to claim that I could confidently read others' thoughts based on their expressions, but as we flew to the settlement, I could tell that my teammates still weren't used to the idea that I could fly. It wasn't that they thought it was a bad thing, but what exactly was going on in their heads was something I couldn't understand.

Apart from this, a few discussions happened during the journey.

In any case, the journey to the settlement was rather peaceful, and the atmodimension was strangely contemplative among my teammates.

Finally, after spending dozens of minutes in the air, the huge walls of the settlement came into sight.
