The tents were not too royal but comfortable enough.
Theodore and others would wake up in turns to look for any issues, that being said, because of a holy spirit being around, the concentration of mana was relatively higher and any beast with brains wouldn't dare approach.
The morning was looking pleasant though the only one with a gloomy face was Aeneas, who was tied up the whole night.

"Tell me, how prepared are you all to take on a Demonoid," Nuae asked everyone.

Burning Soul What exactly is a dungeon anyways?
In about two hours, they came back only to find dried-out Theodore and others due to hunger. Theo who was supposed to collect food wasn’t able to make any big success in his hunt and Aeneas had already dried the remaining food supply earlier in the morning. Theodore also insisted if the girls came back hungry and the hunt wasn’t to be enough it’d make them stay hungry and thus he insisted on waiting for them. Meanwhile walking through the town they had been eating thus they didn't feel the hunger at all. They just realised that there was no food for others and were a little freaked out by the fact but realised they bought some supplies with them and could feed others.
Burning Soul A Lesson
In the evening, everyone had completed their daily training. They were now even more determined about conquering the dungeon, they were working hard. They decided on their schedule for the next few days. It was decided that they'll be leaving in 5 days. Although even 5 days seemed long though they needed to train enough as well. Later they began training even in the nighttime. By doing so they were working on enhancing their senses. Training got even harder on day 3 when they were being trained blindfolded, only to enhance their instincts and fully grasp the senses they were earlier training for. Nuae
Burning Soul The First Enemy!
"From what they say, they encountered something ominous after they occupied some of the floors of the dungeons and were forced to move out. Sounds dangerous to me as well." Catherine who was interrogating the captured elves came up with a reply to everyone’s questioned look. Although everyone was wearing a very startled look, and why wouldn’t they, her calm and collective nature was nowhere to be seen during the interrogation. Looking at the frightening dark elves Theo had a question. "Now, what should we do with them? What do you sa…" Before he could complete it, Nuae's daggers had slashed right through two necks, beheading them in an instant. Two heads rolled
Burning Soul Not as planned!
At Theo’s signal Sylph pounced on the summoned wolf, startling other members of their party. She cast a spell at the same time, one of her signature spells, Hollow Wind: On using causes everyone to back off by a step as a blow of heavy wind That spell hit everyone except that summon who had good resistance to magical attacks. With a hint of irritation, Warlock kid ordered his summon to go all out on Sylph, but to their surprise, she turned away and flew towards the denser region of the forest. The summon followed her without giving any thought as it was merely following the orders, cast by the Warlock Kid. As it got in the bushes the region got awfully calm, leaving only the party of the Dark elves and Warlock kid behind.
Burning Soul No Mercy
With a quick speed-up buff, he was running at a lightning-fast speed towards the enemy. Accel: Enhancing user’s attributes for 12 seconds by 20% at the cost of 20% mana essence. Looking at him, the kid took a step forward to face him. He took out his staff and began chanting a ground distortion spell. Shapeshift: Allows user ability to manipulate the element Earth at his will As Theo closed in, he seemed to have gotten to slow down, but he wasn’t, the ground below him had turned into a rolling carpet making him slow down. “Childish spells! Can you not do any better?” This angered him even more, ‘Leap’, another spell and he quickly moved to a safer spot, in a sideways motion.
Burning Soul To the Dungeon
“What happened? How did you…” Theo asked to which everyone looked at him worriedly. ‘What could possibly get an ace hurt?' … Catherine stepped forward and cast an instant heal spell, but to her surprise, it didn’t work. “That’s weird!” She exclaimed as the heal spell was supposed to have worked on injuries, no matter how grave. “You cursed or what? She asked him to which he spoke, “Well, let me first explain..” Before he could finish Theo replied in a highly worried tone, “Why did you go on your own? I don’t want to lose anyone.” A tear made its way out of his eyes. “I can’t feel the pain. Help me take my cloth off.” He replied with a tired expression. <

“Look, I’m sure about being able to lead up to the 6th floor, that’s how long we could go in,” Nuae said with a serious look. “What did you come across exactly?” Theo asked knowing that the enemy they faced earlier wasn’t the only foe there, they must have come across something more powerful, something that the imperial knights couldn’t hold off. “I don’t really remember what happened but there were some very formidable dark elves who attacked us. But, that’s from a very long time ago, I’m sure that they must have fled the dungeon by now. Who’ll stay here for 10 whole years?” Nuae replied to Theodore while taking the last sip of his soup. “Well, we’ll be getting up to at least the 6th floor today. As per the records, it’s a 20-floor dungeon so we might need to spend another 2-3 nights here, be prepared. And yeah,

...Ember's soul was fading, her divinity diminishing bit by bit. Though Eleanor was a goddess, she couldn't deny the harsh truth: her power was severely limited on the primal plane. Earlier, she had nearly exhausted all her strength to halt the enemy....Eleanor had been blessed with divinity, but after living on the primal plane for so long, her divine powers had waned. Her diminishing divinity was the source of this weakness. She barely had enough to sustain herself, but now she saw no other option.'Looks like this is the only way! I might not be able to see you again, Serena! I'm sorry to break our promise!'With these thoughts, she stood up and closed her eyes. In a few moments, a small halo hovered in fr

… Asking his leave, she walked past him into the bushes nearby, unaware of the danger, Theo was still eating up his portion. She walked a while and stood to look around as she clenched her fists tightly. “Looks like we’ve got ourselves a clever one” A voice came from nearby bushes. “Hmm! Looks like the little one doesn’t want us to get the man! No problem, No no no no no problem is what I feel! Such a young beauty is worth a hundred men, how delightful the day is being to us! My brain, my body, and my soul is slipping! I fear we might not get such prey again.” This time the voice came from a seemingly old guy who was wearing a long hood and held a wooden stick, it loo

“Whoa! Everything looks so small from up here!”, Theo was enjoying his ride. From here he could see a vast area of forest and lots of water springs. He was even able to see birds flying way below them! “Right Master! If not for them we could have reached the destination by ourselves!” Ember replied with pride. “Hmm, but we aren't sure about the location and we shouldn’t leave them behind as well, we might need to warn them if something comes up! And one more thing.” As he replied she slowed a bit to hear him clearly, “Can you not call me ‘Master!’, It feels a bit weird. People might think you are a slave or something and I don’t want that, besides it’s a bit embarrassing.” Hearing him she chuckled a bit before replying,<
