Going back in time a little just before Alex and his group entered the sixth floor.


    Maria, Luna, Gracier, and Sakuya were already killing monsters on the fourth floor of the dungeon they have been assigned to.


    The girls were fighting against a group of goblins; unlike normal goblins who have green skins, the goblins the girls were fighting had ck color.


    Sakuya moved between three goblins, and immediately they were sliced into two, blood spurt into the air; however, none of those bloodnded on Sakuya as she had already vanished from there.


    Ma''s Ice arrows pierced through the head of five ck goblins, Gracier armed with a scythe, sliced two ck goblins apart.


    Luna stood farther away from the ground, not doing anything.


    It didn''t take many minutes for the three girls to wipe out the fifteen remaining ck goblins.


    They decided to take a short break.


    After spending 20 minutes of break, the girls moved toward the next floor.


    Just as the four descended on the fifth floor, a blinding light covered them, startling not only the girls but the person observing them from the shadow. Maria and the others were forced to close their eyes; when they reopen them again, they appeared elsewhere.


    In front of them was inside an endless dead ck forest.


    ''''What the hell?" Sakuya couldn''t help but curse.


    Maria''s expression changed; she found their current situation unusual. Gracier became vignt and readied her scythe. Luna observed their surrounding, when suddenly,


    Boom!


    A ck light exploded not too far from the girls forcing them to protect their eyes, and when the girls became able to see again, they were startled to see that numerous monsters appeared right before them. It was more than thirty ck goblins that stood not too far from the girls.


    ''''No way. Is this still the fifth floor?" Gracier asked in disbelief.


    ''''I doubt it is the case.'''' Maria was the one to answer her. Sakuya was ready to unsheath her Katana at any moment; however, she seemed to be hesitating as if she was considering something.


    This left Gracier confused; therefore, she asked.


    ''''What''s going on? Why are we not making any move? Shall I?"


    ''''Just watch,'''' Maria said.


    At that moment, Gracier remembered that they were four of them, and when she turned in Luna''s direction, she got the shock of her life.


    The ck goblins bellowed and charged forward like a bunch of crazy bulls.


    However, Luna, who had already taken a step forward, snarled, raising and swinging her right fist abruptly.


    "———!"


    A ring, holy light beam exploded from her fist, sting straight at the army of monsters ahead. Facing this sudden, oing brilliance, the ck goblins were devoured entirely before they even reacted. In an instant, a brilliance upied the entire space of thirty meters, enveloping it in whiteness that was as bright as daylight.


    The blinding light wreaked havoc on the ck goblins'' formation. It seemed that the ck goblins'' weakness was bright lights. They started wailing and thrashing on the ground as some had their eyes destroyed.


    Hundred white arrows appeared in the sky before raining down on the poor ck goblins who had not recovered from the first attack. One could be used to describe the current scene, massacre; it was destruction.


    ''''Awesome.'''' Gracier couldn''t help but praise Luna''s prowess when the scene in front of her.


    ''''It''s not the end,'''' Luna warned before Gracier couldn''t celebrate.


    Indeed, it wasn''t the end just after Luna warned Gracier.


    Another ck light appeared and exploded. In the blink of an eye, there was nothing except darkness. This was a skill of the ck goblins shaman - Dark Mist.


    They fired one when Maria''s and others appeared for the first time; however, it was not strong, while this time, it was thebined effort of three ck goblins shamans.


    But it was a pity that the same move wouldn''t work twice on the girls, especially with Luna being prepared against it.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Shortly after the ck goblin shamans released the dark mists in a panic after seeing the first force they sent getting wiped, a series of rumbles and explosions echoed as a dazzling, white light column appeared above them before transforming into the form of a gigantic fist. Then, it mmed the ground like a gigantic hammer. Not only did the holy light eradicate the darkness, but it also smashed the ck goblins hiding into bits.


    Luna withdrew her right arm and let out a peal of evilughter. What she just used a new skill she just perfected, Holy fist + Holy Bash= Holy hammer.


    Gracier''s mouth was opened in an o shape.


    ''''What are you spacing for? Let''s finish them before they retaliate.''''


    Luna shouted at Gracier before a white light covered her body, and she shot forward like a cannon, shing against some unfortunate ck globin. That goblin was shot back like a bullet, his fate unknown. Luna moved to the next enemy, her fist covered by a white light glove smashed the jaw of a half injured globin to bit.


    Maria and Sakuya joined Luna, ying ck goblins here and there.


    Finally, Gracier also moved. Because she was thest to move, the remaining ck goblins who had regained a bit of calmunched their attacks on her, thinking that she was the weakest one.


    ''''Humph!"


    Gracier harrumphed before spinning her scythe to block the arrows fired at her. Before another attack could reach her, Gracier jumped back and, at the same switched her Gift into bow form and started to perform a rapid shot.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!!!!!!


    Numerous Fire arrows tore through the air and pierced the goblins'' archers at the back. It was not the end; those arrows which missed their targetnded on the ground and blossom into beautiful yet deadly Fire lotus that swallowed the nearby ck goblins'' and burned them to crisps.


    Maria, who just dodged the de of the ck goblin, couldn''t help but be impressed by Gracier''s skills. However, Maria didn''t have the time to focus too much on Gracier''s fight as she was fighting a rather tricky goblin. This one was bigger and taller than the typical ck goblin (1.2 m). This particr goblin was almost 3 meters tall. It was dressed in ck armor, had a greatsword and a shield.


    nk! nk!!!


    Both human and monster moved at fast speed, exchanging blows.


    At first, the giant ck goblin sessfully blocked Maria''s sword; however, as the fight progress, the goblin was finding it hard to perfectly control his body, as if he was getting dull.


    Suddenly, the monster froze after locking eyes with Maria; she used ciate on him, her unique eye ability. Just when Maria''s sword was about to im the giant ck goblin life, Maria''s switched to defensive posture because of the sudden feeling of danger.


    ''''Gah!''''


    Maria was blown away; she almost coughed blood. She managed to control her fall and sessfullynded on the ground.


    Looking in front of her, Maria was shocked to find another two identical monsters appeared. The battlefield turned silent at that moment.
