<span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned and noticed some adventurers on the side. It was a team of five. Seeing them was not a surprise. There were adventurers heading into different tunnels. Some arrived at the same spot as them. However, they didn''t bother them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter?" Herrick sneered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t you know this is a C-rank Dungeon? Half-pints like you shouldn''t be here."
<span style="font-weight:400">"We can be here," "Who are you to tell us what we can and can''t do." Alfia and Faelyn stepped up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"A bunch of brats are looking to die, huh?!" "How about we help you out." The adventurers red at them. The tension was something as both sides were about to fight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Enough." Keith shook his head, "Neither side is going to get anything if we fight with one another." They were in a dungeon. Wasting strength on one another was a fruitless effort.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Is someone scared?" But the adventurers continued to look at Keith. It was weird because Keith was a head taller than them. Even when they tried to act tough, it looked awkward.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine. As senior adventurers, we''re going to let you off." The adventurers scoffed as they walked away from there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Are you guys really saying this?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go," Keith was unfazed as he pointed at a tunnel opposite where the adventurers went. As they walked, "Keith, you got to slug people like that!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The person who brought this up was Melor. His expression was livid as he walked. He couldn''t believe he would stand there and take them from them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It would have been a waste of our strength if we did," Keith shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I could end them in a minute." Herrick crunched his knuckles.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh no, I''m fully aware you could have ended them if we made a move." They had more people. Not only that, one person was enough to take them out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They were so weak."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then you should have let us go in." "That''s the problem. I''m afraid you and Herrick would punch the daylights out of them." Herrick calmed down for the most part. But his strength could easily st that guy''s head off.
<span style="font-weight:400">"If I let you go, I''m afraid you might kill them." Just the thought was enough to make him shiver.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"But those jerks are going to get it." Sarah was a little peeved. She could tell they were eyeing the girls like no tomorrow. It made her ufortable.
<span style="font-weight:400">"They kept staring at the princess. I was ready to gouge their eyes out." Faelyn muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Faelyn, they kept looking at you as well." She wasn''t the only one.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone needs to rx. We don''t need to deal with them. They''re going to shoot themselves in the foot either way." Keith shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The armor they''re wearing and how they acted, they don''t have what it takes to get through." Keith stated calmly, "Also, they went through the wrong tunnel. That''s one of the worst ones." It was filled with archers and other sorts of monsters there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Too bad for them. I''m pretty sure they''re screwed."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Evil. The others backed away from Keith. The dark aura around him was something. And those wordsing out of his mouth made it even more so. He was implying they were going to be done in by those monsters.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now, let''s move forward!"
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, are you sure this is getting more dangerous?" Herrick frowned. The group was heading to the third floor. However, it was mundane. He said before it was difficult. But it was anything but that; it was simr to the previous floor, with archers and soldiers.
<span style="font-weight:400">"... It''s supposed to be dangerous." Keith scratched his head. From what he was provided, the third floor was more challenging than the other floors.
<span style="font-weight:400">It''s probably because we''re a lot stronger than average. Herrick and the others were D-rank lower. But their strength, on the other hand, was perhaps the same level as Groa. This dungeon here was for C-ranks.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was not a surprise they could clear the floor through sheer power.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We should set up camp now." Looking at the time again, it was time to base up and rest.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Setting up camp was simple enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Who''s going to be the first to watch?" Alfia asked. They needed to figure this out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We should have people in each group who could sense monsters sooner." Those with high magic abilities would be able to sense them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That would be Me, Alfia, Sarah, Gabriel, Carolyn, and Faelyn." The six of them could use detection magic.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about we draw straws and decide who pairs up with who," Herrick suggested.
