Chapter 66 - Clearing The Dungeon(1)

Tina left the woman's office and headed back towards the guildhall, where there were almost a thousand people, at times the crowd inside the guild does surpass a thousand.  However, people could move freely without barging into themselves due to the sheer size of the guild.

Layla and Jaden sighed with relief after they saw Tina coming out from the woman's office.

"Tina, I hope there's no problem huh?" Jaden asked.

"You don't have to worry Jaden," Tina replied with a stoic expression.

"Tina, I think something is wrong, you would often call me big sister but you called me by my name. Are you sure that you are okay?" Jaden asked again.

"Well, let's drop the formalities Jaden. After all, we share the same man, am I right Layla" Tina replied while she glanced at Layla, waiting for a reply.

"Haa~yes, you are right, no need to respect us again, after all, we share the same man" Layla also replied with an angry voice, she didn't expect Tina to disrespect her like that.

"It's ok Layla" Jaden tugged Layla as she knew that her sister was angry at Tina.

"Tina, we chose to go for a mission to clear a dungeon, though the reward is small, we can sell the crystal we acquire there," Jaden announced.

"Why would you guys choose a mission behind me? At least you could have waited till I return" Tina oozed sarcasm.

"Tina, I think something is stuck in your head, maybe a few slaps will reset it for you" Layla glared at Tina.

However, Tina nodded her head and remained quiet after Layla's outburst.

Layla held the map that would lead them to the dungeon in her hands and she began walking out of the guild alongside Jaden, Tina also followed suit. However, she glanced at Ralia as she could perceive a particular person's scent on her body, a creepy smile crept on her face as she hastened her footsteps to catch up with Jaden and Layla.

The trio was walking towards the Dungeon called Eternal Labyrinth, it was called eternal labyrinth because as soon as the beast or monsters were dead, they would respawn again.

What was amusing about the dungeon was that the beasts and monsters would drop a crystal and their body would disappear into thin air. The dungeon consisted of 100 floors. However, no one has ever been able to clear all the floors of the dungeon, the highest record of floors cleared was 70, and it was rumored that a Z-rank super cleared it till that stage.

The supe was unable to go further as he kept meeting with strong and mighty beasts, even the 70th floor that he cleared was a life and death battle because the beast was somewhat stronger than him.

Jaden and Layla raised their guard as Tina followed them from behind, they were still confused about her sudden change.

They felt that she might try to harm them like the way she was trying to stab Linda.

Tina also noticed that Jaden and Layla were wary of her backstabbing them, she sighed and realized that she had been blinded by her anger and taken things too far.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier," Tina declared.

Layla and Jaden looked towards each other before replying.

"It's okay, we are not angry, you made it clear to us that you don't want unity. If it is what you want, then we won't interact with you, because you are acting weird" Jaden blurted out.

"I'm sorry, I won't repeat it" Tina apologized.

"Ok it's fine, don't let it happen for the second time. You can drop the formalities as you said, it's useless, we will eventually become mothers soon" Layla uttered.

Tina nodded her head and sighed inwardly as she knew that Layla was still mad at her. Unbeknownst to her, they were still wary of her.

After an hour of walking, it seemed like they were running in the eyes of non-supes.

The trio arrived at their destination, the outskirts of the dungeon was somehow crowded with people that were sharing their rewards outside.

The trio ignored the people and entered the dungeon that was somewhat like a large cave, with a great height that they couldn't measure.

They also met a few groups of adventurers exiting the cave, some were injured while some were missing a few limbs here and there.

However, that didn't stop the girls from their excitement.

The girls climbed a staircase that was in the corridor of the dungeon.

Climbing the staircase with ease, the girls arrived at a large space that could be considered a mini hall but was a bit dirty with an unfriendly stench lingering in the air.

Suddenly, five huge rats with sharp claws and jagged teeth came running at the girls.

Swoosh!!!!!

Several thick ice shards were launched at the rat-like beast, killing them in an instant.

"Humph, weak F-rank beast" Jaden snorted as the body of the beast disappeared into thin air.

Jaden crouched and picked up the crystal they dropped and stored it inside her space ring.

Another staircase appeared out of thin air which surprised the girls. The dungeon had a lot of mysteries that people were unable to solve, like other groups clearing the same floor but in different dimensions of the dungeon.

The girls climbed the second stairs and arrived in a similar large space. However, ten red F-rank goblins with short knives in their hands emerged out of thin air.

The goblins smirked and raised their knives in the air then they ran towards the girls, aiming to stab them. Layla had summoned two daggers from her space ring, it was her first time having a kill ever since she turned into a  symbiote subclass.

She chose the daggers because they suited her ability the best, she grinned and slashed the necks of the three goblins that ran towards her, cleaving their heads from their body. Layla had a crazy amount of energy, life force, and stats since she fed on Linda's life force before leaving.  

The goblins screamed in a gibberish language as they could see their companion's heads sent rolling in the air.

Tina on the other hand brutally ripped off the goblin's body parts, since she was only proficient in hand-to-hand combat, the goblin's head exploded like watermelons as Tina punched them with her spiked Brass Knuckles.

Jaden was using the bow and arrow she formerly used when she was still hiding her ice element, she was trying to save her energy for the stronger beasts.

After killing the last goblins, the girls stored the crystals in their space ring, the dungeon crystals couldn't be used to forge weapons but they could be used to power carriages and many other things, the dungeon was similar to a crystal mine with dangerous obstacles.

Abruptly the third staircase appeared and the girls climbed it.
