Taking the pair of earrings and necklace, Nero wore them. She felt a significant change, and what she was most curious about… ‘Lucky… I wonder if I’ll drop better items now? Or at least more expensive…’

Currently, Nero is very rich, with 14 million Essence Coins.

‘If I want to buy better things I need to go to another city.’ Nero thought.

“Choko, this is for you.” Nero smiled as he handed her the Valkyrie pair of earrings and necklace.

“Thank you, Nero, you are the best~” Choko was very happy and said: “You look beautiful with the new pair of earrings and heart necklace, where did you get it, drop it here in the dungeon?”

The earring pair was with a pink heart pendant, and the necklace was silver with a pink pendant. It was quite unique as it was made of pink diamond.

“Yes, I was lucky.” Nero smiled.

After everyone was ready, they started up the stairs to the sixth floor.

*ROAR!*

Flying over the dragons roared and even fought each other at times. Meanwhile, some felt their presence and locked dragon eyes on them.

*<Wrath Of The Valkyrie>!*

After pulling the bow and creating an arrow, she cast the ability and took aim at a water dragon. The arrow came out too fast and chased the water dragon that tried to escape.

*[Critical Hit!]*

[You Killed: Reptile Monster [Water Dragon] Level E+: Level 16!]

[You Killed: Reptile Monster [Water Dragon] Level E+: Level 16!]

[You Killed: Reptile Monster [Earth Dragon] Level E+: Level 17!]

– –

Killing the first dragon, the arrow continued and killed the second water dragon. Then she chose to blast the land dragon, and the effect was better than it was, with the gravity impact of the arrow falling from the sky, it exploded and created a shock wave knocking down many land dragons and killing what was hit.

“They go!” Nero said out loud snapping them out of their stupor.

Running, they started to attack the terrestrial dragons, while Jana, who was a mage, created phoenixes and played towards the dragons and supported them and Honda with a bow shot magic arrows very similar to Nero, however, hers had the attribute of the wind.

Nero also supported them in fighting land dragons, using Dark Energy arrows.

– –

[You killed: Reptile Monster [Fire Dragon] Level E+: Level 18!]

– –

Nero killed the fire dragon with a normal arrow, using the Dark Energy arrow.

The dragon didn’t even notice the scent, losing its head and the arrow continued until it seriously wounded another fire dragon.

The size of dragons reached up to 500 cm in wingspan. However, the boss had almost 1000 cm of wingspan.

It was a little frightening, but Nero knew her current status trumped that lightning dragon.

*<Rain of Arrows>!*

*[Critical Hit!]*

*[Critical Hit!]*

…

Many arrows fell from the sky and the skill: <Arrows Rain> rose to level 54, can now make 1 arrow turn into 54, and when she used three arrows turned into 162 and took down and killed many dragons.

Choko and the rest took the opportunity to kill them while they were down.

Nero continued to hurl arrows, killing some and falling to the ground.

She couldn’t use it that often, as she had to be careful not to hit the allies; this wasn’t a game that her attacks didn’t hit her allies, so she needed to be careful when using Rain of Arrows.

Taking the Brave Red Sword, Nero for the first time she was using this sword, and because she was a Runic Knight she wasn’t bad with a sword, she was too strong, to tell the truth, when she attacked with the Brave Red Sword, she slashed the terrestrial dragon, splitting it in half, could even see the arteries disconnecting and the blood spurting. When that happened, she was quick and escaped in time.

‘Mm, as expected, I’m better with a sword if I’m going to rune…’ She used the wind rune, just created a gust of wind the way she formed it with the sword, how she cut it from top to bottom, it was as if she had thrown a windsock spinning forward in a straight line and slashed the dragon in half.

‘…I need to be careful when using this too.’ Nero muttered in his heart. She was smart enough to attack in the direction Yui and the rest weren’t, or she could end up hurting them, as she did with the land dragon behind this one that lost its right legs.

*

When the dragons all died, they were already very tired, unlike the other floors, these dragons were more resistant and they needed more than 1 hit… Well, Yui also killed some with 1 attack, and Choko also left some, but not all, just when they hit critical damage.

Especially now that they reached the level that unlocked dexterity, they criticized much more than before.

Nero mostly, almost all of her moves were critical.

Looking at the boss that was flying in the air and didn’t want to go down.

*<Obscure Vibration>!*

*<Obscure Vibration>!*

*[Critical Hit!]*

*[Critical Hit!]*

Nero used the same attack twice in a row.

The first one hit the chest and the second on the head, the attack did a lot of damage. However, it did not kill.

Only after shooting five more arrows did the system warning appear and she stopped shooting arrows. Only Jana and Honda were able to support her, as they were the only ones who could attack from a long distance, and the farthest the others could attack was a few meters, although they hurt the boss a little, it wasn’t very strong, as that lost strength the farther it went.

*[Critical Hit!]*

[You killed: Reptile Monster [Lightning Dragon Boss] D-: Level 20!]

– –

Nero didn’t even have time to see it properly, as another message popped up on his retina.

– –

Quest [Conquer the Sixth Floor of the Dungeon] completed!

• Reward: 550,000 [Essence Coin] – Has been added to your inventory.

• Reward: [Red Cloak] + 10% Defense, 15% Energy – rank D – Has been added to your inventory.

– –

‘Hehe, very good…’ Nero gave a small smile.

As it was the top floor of the dungeon, not even a quest sequence appeared.

But as a final reward, even though it was really good, Nero took off the Red Cloak and was surprised at how soft and pleasant it felt. She dressed and her defense and her energy increased by 300 defense and 450 energy.

“Ahh, finally!” Honda sat down on the 6th floor and began to rest.

Jingu took out a thermos of water and drank a little after wetting his wrist.

Honda as well as the rest felt thirsty and they took out their own bottles and drank.

After resting for a while, they started to laugh.

It was, after all, a great achievement for them as new Hunters.

“Is there still 12 days left to enroll at the Hunter School? With this high-level Monster Cores… We can make it to LV20. And if we keep going, we can soon get to level 22 and be Rank D instead of D-, *degozaru,*” Jingu said dreamily.

‘Now that I stop to think, I can have 4 more calls. Getting the lightning dragon boss isn’t bad…’ Nero’s eyes lit up at the thought.

She thought for a moment and wished to catch two of them, one fire and the other the lightning boss.

– –

[Reptile Monster [Water Dragon] Level E+: Level 16!] – 1024

[Reptile Monster [Earth Dragon] Level E+: Level 17!] – 647

[Reptile Monster [Fire Dragon] Level E+: Level 18! ] – 336

[Reptile Monster [Lightning Dragon Boss] Level D-: Level 20!] – 1

– –

After using <Plunder> Nero split the Monster Cores into equal parts.

“Nero, you can take the high level ones, we take the level 16 ones,” Jana said. She knew Nero was the biggest contributor to the fight and it was only fair that she kept most of them. Mainly because thanks to them they managed to kill so many.

“No, let’s split evenly.” Nero said with a small smile: “I hate to admit it, but before I was in a hurry and so I needed to level up fast, but with my… With Elsa around, I can feel safe.”

“Ohh.” Now that they stopped to think, it was true. Nero had issues with the middle sister and the older sister was here to protect her.

“This is a complicated situation, *degozaru*…” Jingu couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to go through what Nero went through. And that’s what she didn’t even know much about, she knew she was sent to a lab, but didn’t know how much she suffered, although because of what happened before, Nero’s emotions spilled over to her and the rest and they got a little bit of notion how much she suffered.

“Yes, but let’s not talk about it.” Nero smiled without worrying: “Meditate with the Monster Cores and let’s go again. I want to catch two dragons as summoning monsters. If you feel like you owe me, just help me go to the dungeon one more time and I’ll take both bosses.”

“All right!” They didn’t even need to think and quickly responded.

[Hunters of the Goddess of Love – You all are amazing!]

When they left the dungeon, a huge banner with the name they made up for the group and many were cheering that they finished the Level D dungeon.

“Hunters of the Goddess of Love, it’s not bad. Um, um, I like it!” Jana smiled.

“I don’t mind that our group is called that, and it’s kind of true since wherever Nero goes, love is in the air~” Honda said with a giggle.

In the city, many started dating and even got married when they took the courage to declare themselves or ask in marriage. Some were rejected, of course, but many accepted and the city became very loving.

“It suits our group.” Choko nodded.

Jair and Breno were the only ones who felt awkward, especially Jair, but he was happy so he didn’t care.
