Marie certainly had some high status. Even though she was a lot younger, she was almost at the same level as Gerald. However, what got Billy\'s interest was her set of skills. She had the thief skills… it was only natural, but that didn\'t explain the high level of poison and pain Resistance. That was kind of disturbing and worrisome… While he was the fine one to talk, it was clear that she had some secrets.
In any case, no wonder the enemies were too weak in comparison to her. She could be as fast as the wind… While those four were fighting, Sarah, Kate, and Lily supported them from behind as much as possible, but it was kind of hard since they were moving around too much. One mistake, and they might end up attacking the back of their friends.
While the group was exterminating the Aquatic beasts, the helpers were doing their job, but now and then, they would take a peek at the fights and then gulp. It was only natural that the guild master would be that strong, but those strangers were not too shabby. While they were fighting, the pure walls, floor, and ceiling that were blue now were becoming crimson with all the blood falling around. It was a sight one could only hope to see in wars… no, not even ears were that bloody.
Billy had noticed that even though they exterminated three groups the other day, only two were back. He assumed that the crystal lost some power, but it gained the one in which it could put as many monsters as they wanted on the last floor. So, in order to reach the last room, they will have to defeat who knows how many groups of five hundred in five days and faster than the crystal can create them.
"No, wait… we don\'t have a time limit anymore, right?" Billy asked.
"Isn\'t that obvious?" Marie asked. "We will stay here until we clear the dungeon."
Billy wasn\'t so sure if that was actually good, but it certainly was an opportunity to make tons of money. Hopefully, nothing will happen because of that. In any case, Kate looked completely fine despite all that carnage that they were seeing, so Billy will have to tell her father that only a disaster would make her give up on exploring dungeons, and that was something he didn\'t want to enact.
Thanks to Billy\'s help, the items he lent to his friends, and Marie\'s help, they managed to slay six groups of monsters. Now the next day, they will have two thousand fewer monsters to worry about. However, Billy noticed that the dungeon didn\'t have bifurcation. It apparently was a straight path toward the last room. However, there were some areas where the groups were located, and according to Marie, they didn\'t explore even one-fourth of those areas.
"We will have to pick up the pace," Marie said.
"Isn\'t it fine taking things at this pace?" Kate asked. "We don\'t have a time limit, after all."
As much as he hated to admit it, Billy could see Marie\'s point. There was no telling if things would stay like that, so it would be better to defeat the monsters and clear the dungeon before the core does something unusual again. Still, he decided to stay silent and just wait and see. Their Fierce Aura was leveling up like crazy, and even their other skills were improving by leaps and bounds. Billy thought that Lily would become better than her father in six months, but her growth in three weeks was comparable to three months. Even Billy himself felt like he wouldn\'t lose to his father the next time… he was absolutely sure he could win if he used Fierce Aura. So, with that in mind, it might be possible to increase their pace a little more.
When the day was over, they had filled five boxes with the materials. While his group was fine, the helpers were exhausted because of all that work. They probably thought they wouldn\'t have to work that much, so they asked for less than usual.
"I suppose one of those is yours," Billy said
"No need, you are already helping me by doing this job," Marie said. "Besides, I gain a good cut of all the profit we make."
It was only natural… no wonder so many people wanted to become guild masters. In any case, Billy went shopping again to see if anything new and useful had arrived. The backline wasn\'t working that much since the front line was filled with battle freaks, but Billy decided to help them just in case. Unfortunately, he didn\'t find anything worthwhile.
"I suppose I will have to give them the right effects…" Billy thought while looking at some items.
