The Elite Troop had already spread their name very quickly around the 45th floor region. The number of monsters they killed was second only to Maira's group.
Elias was getting stronger. His strength reached the Fourth Order, though he was not exactly in the Fourth Order, it was just his power using Qi and the Body that made him so strong.
The members of the Elite Squad were powerful, with the strength of the Third Order. If they fought together, they could beat even those who were in the Fourth Order.
Arlinda's seer powers were essential for the party to have a 0 fatality rate. Her daughter, Alice, did not have the same powers as her mother; she could create illusions to deceive the enemy. It was also a very good Origin if used well.
Elias' Origin was strange. Perhaps the strangest of all... Primitive Origin. Basically, he mastered all primordial weapons and primal energy. His primal energy was purer and denser than normal. It was an abnormality that could bring the power of primordial weapons. Although he couldn't use modern weapons when using his Origin, it was by no means weak.
Elias learned to use a gigantic sword. It was big and had a toothed edge, heavy and stout. Each move required great effort, but the primal energy allowed him to wield it like a sword that weighed only a few pounds.
Even when using primal energy in just his eyes, it helped him to focus and read the enemy's movements. Now fighting a giant Fourth Order lizard, he focused and leaped like a tornado, spinning through the air and hefting his stout sword upwards as he began to fall very fast towards the giant lizard.
Avoiding the lizard's tail attacks, Elias dodged in the air and cut off the tail. The lizard roared and Elias fell on the lizard's back and ran until he reached the neck. Like a shovel digging into the sand, Elias plunged his sword into the lizard's neck, intending to 'dig' and pierce. Blood splashed, and members of the Elite troop helped with the final takedown. It didn't last long before Elias pulled the sword diagonally, and lacerated the giant lizard's neck.
"We won!" Members of the Elite Squad celebrated. It wasn't just this giant lizard, there were other monsters of the Third and even Fourth Order that were killed by them.
Elias climbed off the lizard. Swinging his sword, the blood went all the way to the ground. The cold, indifferent aura from before vanished, and he spoke with a silly smile, totally different from when he's fighting. "Very good guys! We are managing to do everything that was taught and with 0 low rates," Elias said while smiling.
"Yeah, we were awesome just there~" Paloma said with a giggle. The other members also laughed and were proud of the strength they had gained, but not satisfied. Their eyes were still full of energy, wanting to fight and get stronger.
"We've already been here for a few days, and we got a lot of Credits. Let's go back and get stronger, then we'll come back even stronger and achieve more achievements!" Elias said motivated.

For the next 4 days, Luan and Ingrid were doing Dual Cultivation. For the next two days after that they were stabilizing their cultivation. This time, Luan taught her better to stabilize so as not to let Qi leak.
"Luan, my dear Luan, I'm here~" Even though the spells created in the cabin were undone, Luan and Ingrid heard a woman's soft and somewhat gentle voice.
"Nora…" Luan muttered.
Ingrid became agitated. The pressure she felt was more powerful than she had ever felt before. An insatiable bloodlust surrounded the entire place.
Luan kept Ingrid behind him, and started to leave. Ingrid looked at the woman flying on red bat wings that made her jealous even before she met her.
Scarlet hair with curled ends and flame red, she had a symmetrical oval face, cute slightly pointed nose, and sexy full lips. Her eyes were like a phoenix, rather slanted like some of those with Asian ancestry, and mercury red in color. Her body was 'hot'. Ingrid felt a little inferior when she saw the size of the woman's breasts. They were so big. Ingrid was around a 90 cm bust, so Nora must have been around 100 cm? In addition to a very large bust, she had a very advantageous set of hips, approximately 110 cm, and a slim waist, around 59cm waist.
She was the sexiest woman Ingrid had ever seen. And the way she looked at Luan, it was clear as day that she loved him in a romantic way. Just looking at her bright eyes and her flushed face as if she had found her first love after long years. It was impossible for this to be for any other reason. Ingrid didn't believe she didn't feel something toward Luan.
When she looked at Luan, she saw his expression change a little. Though not much, there was affection in his red eyes. It wasn't as clear as Nora's, but obviously Luan saw her favorably.
Standing on the ice floor, the wings on Nora's back vanished. She ran towards Luan and hugged him tight. "I missed you so much~" She had tears in her eyes as she said this.
Luan didn't even have the strength to resist or even dodge. Nora was in the Sixth Order, a very large difference in ability.
"Nora, you're going to crush me like that," Luan said strangely and sighed.
Nora understood that she was being too aggressive, but she couldn't help herself. She understood instantly that something made Luan's power fall to the Fourth Order, but that was insignificant. As long as he was alive, she was happy.
Nora tried to kiss him, but Luan's hand covered her face. "You can't kiss me."
Ingrid didn't care that she was weaker than Nora. She saw that this woman tried to kiss Luan and became a beast. The blood in her body boiled and started to surround the whole place. It was like a wave of blood coming out of her.
"Kuhuhuhu~" Nora's cheeks were flushed, but looking at Ingrid she gave a seductive and incredibly teasing giggle. "Are you trying to face me, little girl?"
Nora walked away from Luan. She started to channel ice, cold as hell, into her hands. The blood Ingrid was controlling started to freeze in the air and fell to the ground as if it were made of glass, shattering on the ice floor.
"You two, stop now," Luan said calmly, however, the way he spoke surprised them both, as it made them stop what they were doing, and even Nora relented. That said, she was still looking provocatively in Ingrid's direction.
"Nora..." Lenore walked out of her cabin. She looked at Nora in a peculiar way.
"Daughter, call me Mom!" Nora yelled wildly and authoritatively.
Lenore was surprised, but then she smiled as she took off her mask and cried at the same time, "Yes, Mom~"
Luan's heartbeat quickened when he saw Lenore's face. Ingrid was also in shock. Luan looked at Nora, then at Lenore, and vice versa.
Nora put her hand on Luan's chin and said very teasingly, "Yes, she's your daughter~"
