Chapter 37

With only two spiders left, Breno went to help Jair while Choko intercepted the spider that was running towards Jana. Choko jumped high in the air and appeared in front of the spider. When the spider spit venom in Choko's direction, she easily dodged and reached the side of the spider, throwing a punch with her big red gauntlet at the spider's front leg.

*Peng!*

Jana had already conjured a fire arrow and launched it at the spider when she lost her balance.

*Boom!*

A large hole was formed in the back of the spider when she hit it and the spider stopped moving as blue blood pooled around its body. Breno and Jair had by this time killed the other spider as well.

Choko and her group let out a tired sigh, but they were all satisfied with the result.

That was when Choko looked in Jana's direction and her eyes widened when looking at Nero. She cried out in disbelief, "My God! What happened to her?"

Nero opened her eyes when she heard Choko's voice and saw that she was looking back at her in a daze. In addition, there was something red running down Choko's nose. 'Is that blood?'

Before she could ask Choko if she was okay, a retching came, and she was unable to hold it. And that was when she started vomiting a dark, smelly goo; it looked like she had turned into an octopus by spitting out black paint.

But the reality was that it was impurity that came to form in her body for all these years. However, when she went up to level 2, her body improved, getting rid of her body's impurity a little.

Soon after, Nero put her hand over her mouth when she noticed a horrible taste. But then she was surprised. 'Why is it so nice to touch my skin?'

She looked at her hand, frowning. It appeared as a feast for Choko's eyes and the rest since that gesture was cute rather than imposing.

*Cough*... *Cough*

Giving some harsh coughs, Nero looked again in the direction of Choko, Jana, Jair, and Breno, but her expression turned strange when she said, "Choko, blood is coming out of your nose."

Choko came to herself when she heard Nero's voice and blushed sheepishly. She put her hand on her nose and saw that it was actually bleeding. 'But I didn't even get hurt...' She didn't understand.

Seeing Nero get up from the floor and clean the black trail from the corner of her beautiful and perfectly pink lips, Choko feigned a cough and took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, saying, "It was nothing big. Changing the subject: Nero, why are you suddenly so beautiful?"

Jair and Breno looked away. They were also stunned by Nero's current appearance. Jana tried to remain indifferent; she didn't swing that way after all, but she had to admit that Nero's current appearance left her frankly... attracted.

An untouchable white skin with an indescribably beautiful pair of eyes, Nero's eyes blinked and opened, showing a pair of beautiful purple-violet solar irises; it was as if she could see through their bodies and steal their hearts. Jana couldn't even keep her eyes on Nero for more than two seconds before her face turned flush.

While Choko got lost in Nero's eyes and worshiped her beauty, she ran out of breath just because she was being watched by Nero. Nero's eyes became two crescent moons as her lips curved in a perfect arc, forming a smile.

"Do I look more beautiful, or something?" She ended up chuckling, not understanding why they were acting so weird.

What Nero did not notice was that when she laughed, she only made the situation worse because a noble aura of a goddess exploded from her being and permeated the area, making them want to bow down in adoration. Her long pink-white hair was even softer and shinier and it swayed in the slight wind that blew through the dungeon.

Because of this, strands of her hair were in front of her left eye. Nero took her hand to brush it aside, which made Choko dry swallow when she saw Nero's above average and perfect breasts sway with her hand movement.

Choko blew out another long breath and took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the blood off her nose. She nodded, "Yes, you do."

Jana walked over to where Nero and Choko were, Breno and Jair too, but they avoided looking at Nero. Their hearts were still agitated when they saw Nero's face which made her look more like a goddess who did not belong to this mundane world.

"Mm. Do you not like it?" Nero asked instead of answering.

"I like it. I mean, it is beautiful, very charming... Oh, don't change the subject… !" She looked away when she realized what she had just said, and pouted.

Although she liked to provoke Choko like this, Nero decided to tell her the "truth". "I received an item drop that improved my physique and ended up using it. It must be because of that."

"Seriously?" Choko seemed convinced by that answer and said, "That must have been a very good item, and to think that you managed to get such a good drop in a low-level dungeon."

"I was lucky," Nero smiled.

"W-Well, are we going to continue cleaning the dungeon?" Jana asked. She also believed what Nero said, since although rare, there were miraculous items that help to improve physique and appearance, although they were usually dropped in higher difficulty dungeons.

For the next few hours, Nero, Choko, Jana, Jair, and Breno continued hunting the spiders on the second floor. As before, Nero was dealing with spiders alone with Luna and Slime.

The good thing about Luna was that she had very good instincts, and over time, she was able to fight a level 5 spider without Nero's help. When it came to Slime, without Nero's command it remained motionless, since the intelligence of this thing was low.

When they finished killing the last group of spiders, Choko and the rest were dripping sweat. Even Nero was no different. She killed many spiders: now having 15 levels 5 cores and 26 levels 4 cores.

'Oh...' Nero opened her inventory and took out the pair of boots. She was wearing a pair of shoes that she borrowed from Choko, she took off her shoes and instead wore the black leather boots.
