Chapter 66 Dawn Forest Day Four (Part I)

The fifth floor was the same as the previous floors, but the water here had reached our waist, unlike the rest. It was starting to get hard to walk in the water. Our clothes were wet, and our motivation was diminishing. It was depressing that this water was more tiring than a monster.

"A shark is swimming ahead!" Citrus warned us as we were walking.

Sharks? These monsters should be much stronger than those fishes that we fought earlier. The shark's speed was insanely fast, faster than the serpent I had fought. It was swimming around us in circles, deciding who to pick off.

Deciding its target, it went to Citrus man Citrus's luck wasn't very good at all. Isabelle, who noticed this, made a golden cage around Citrus, helping her defend against the upcoming attack.

Charging in for the kill, the shark rammed into the cage. The shark made a dent in the cell, stopping its attack.

Citrus sighed in relief, seeing that the shark couldn't make a break into the cage. The monster then began to search for another target. Finding it, the shard went to Riley. Unlike Citrus, Riley could stop the shark. Not only that, she could make it easier for us to kill the shark.

With the shark speeding toward Riley, she used this chance to make an opportunity for us. Using her magic, she tried to push the shark into the air. Both Riley and the shark were contesting each other strength.

Taking this chance, I fired a beam, trying to make an attempt to hurt the shark. The attack that I did made a difference, weakening the shark. Riley then used this chance to push the shark into the air, making it unable to do anything.

Isabelle and I had the same idea to finish the shark. The both of us made a sharp object dealing the finishing blow to the shark. It was good that we had a way to beat the shark. Isabelle released the cage freeing Citrus from protection.

I could see cold sweat dripping from Citrus's forehead. She was still nervous about that attack. Having no place to rest, we began to head forward to the dungeon.

Other than the shark, monsters like the fish from the previous floor and turtles had attacked us. We were quick to defend against their upcoming attacks, and when the time was right, we destroyed them in seconds.

The time that we spent on this floor was much longer than any of the previous floors. I could feel that we were almost there. The monsters were more frequent the further we went in.

Walking for a few more minutes, we found the door to the boss's room. There was a monster guarding the entrance to the door, and by the looks of it, we had to fight the monster.

The monster is a seaweed-looking thing. Extending its seaweed, it began to attack. By the looks of it, the only attack it would do was to use the seaweed and attack. The monster was a third-rank monster, meaning that the attacks were at least on par with us.

It was a good thing that it was a plant base monster, making it easier for me to burn it into dust. Firing my beams toward the seaweed monster, it tried to block my attack. With my magic touching it, the seaweed monster jumped in pain, trying to stop my attack.

Finding that my attack was highly effective against it, Isabelle made a golden bar around it, trying to limit the seaweed monster movement, with her doing that. I kept on firing plasma beams to wear the monster down.

With my constant shooting, I could see that the monster was close to death, it was lying on the floor, but I could still see some movement with the seaweed.

Isabelle used a golden rod to finish off the seaweed monster. With the monster dead, all we needed to do was beat the boss.

Going into the room, the place turned blue. Unlike the dark black walls, the walls inside this place were blue. This was the last floor. There weren't any doors to the next room.

The boss was different from the rest. It was kind of humanoid but a lot stronger than the rest. What we would be fighting would be a water spirit. What makes these monsters notable is their intelligence.

Spirit had the intelligence of an average adult. They could make logical choices. Still, because they were created by dungeons or classified as monsters, they are pretty hostile toward most races.

What makes spirits unique is that their body is made out of mana. This means that any kind of attack that doesn't have many included would be rendered useless. They could be the bane of the existence known as men.

The spirit looked at us and glared menacingly. We could feel its aura, it wasn't terrifying or anything, but we felt a little pressure. The spirit was a high third-rank monster, almost at the peak of its rank.

Some of us were scared, while the others were prepared to fight. The spirit was a liquified woman that was transparent.

For some reason, it kept looking at me, I didn't know why, but something was telling me to kill it or run away from it.

It began to attack, sending a wave of water, and we began to defend. Isabelle built a wall around us, blocking all of our attacks.

We were at a significant disadvantage in this fight. This whole place was almost covered in water, meaning the spirit could use it at any time without wasting any precious mana.

The five of us needed a way to stop the spirit from attacking. "Citrus, find a weakness for this thing!" Tina yelled, realizing what we were up against.

The spirit was still staring at me, I didn't know what it wanted from me, but all I knew was that this would be my most challenging fight yet.
