    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s do this, everyone!" Everyone was now on the 4th floor. After having their breakfast, it was time for them to move forward.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah!" Everyone nodded as they started to walk through the field. Leona''s ears perked up when they did, "Get ready to fight."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Which way?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"On our left." Keith nodded as he quickly shifted himself in that direction. That was when the monster sprang at him!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s the snake again!" It was the same snake they had fought against on the second floor. And that was not all;


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Moo!" From the side came the bison! It rushed at breakneck speed to take him out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Shing!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Watch out for it." Herrick had his de up, guarding against the horns. That was how dangerous it was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks." Keith brushed the snake away, sending it flying into the sky. An arrow came flying from the side, piercing the snake as it flew.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s a lot more than these two," Leona muttered. From all sides were rustling sounds. It was clear that some were heavy while others were light. It was quite a crowd of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I will hold these bison back. Leona and Faelyn, I want you guys to scout out the snakes. Herrick and Melor, attack them when they are found!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You sure you can handle all of them?" Krystal frowned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can manage against them. The snakes are more difficult to deal with." The bison have a straightforward attack pattern; a charge. It was as simple as that. However, the snakes were a different matter; they waited for their prey to make an opening before moving.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They couldn''t deal with the bison if they worried about the snakes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The rest of us will attack the snakes. However, Carolyn, Scarlet, and Sarah will have your back." Gabriel decided. They couldn''t have him all alone against those bison. That would tire Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha. Now move!" Keith dashed against the bison while Herrick and Melor went up against the snakes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, Leona, I will leave it up to you guys to listen in on them. Focus on the small sounds."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." The two beast people quickly used their ears to sense the creatures out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Herrick turned over, "Arlo, oneing from the right of you!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Gotcha!" Arlo quickly raised his knife, and a serpent came from the grass.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh!" Arlo gritted his teeth as he held his ground and pushed it away. That was when Gabriel dashed forth and cut them down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s a second one." Behind the first one was a second serpent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Herrick, focus on listening to their movements."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Grhh." Herrick took a deep breath as he listened again. I need to streamline everything. There were too many noises surrounding him. He needed to focus more. Listen to only the small sounds. Light and bristle movement. That was what he needed to do.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Here! Herrick quickly swung his sword. That was when he cleaning sliced three serpents down!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guys! Five on the right and one in the back!" "Understood!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone started to move. The situation had be even more manageable as Herrick and Leona listened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While that went on from the side, Keith continued to push the bison back. His job was to keep Carolyn, Scarlet, and Sarah away from his damage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Shadow bind!" Scarlet shouted. A bunch of shadows constricted the bison''s legs. With them being restricted, the monster pounced! With one stroke, Keith sliced two bison down!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll probably finish them before they do," Keithughed as he continued to take them out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Moo!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Water!" Sarah shouted this time. And the entire ground became drenched in water. Slowly, the bison lost speed, which made it an easy target. Keith swung his shield, sending it flying.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This team is impressive. Scarlet and Sarah were fantastic utility mages. The demon princess had shadow magic that bound the bison down. While Sarah''s water magic was perfect in this terrain. It turned the ground into mush, making it difficult for them to make do with their charge.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And the bisons seemed to realize it as well. They started to circle Keith and the others. Surrounding this group was wet terrain; they couldn''t get close to them, not unless they wanted to get sent flying.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They''re going to go after the three. The logical answer they would go with was to deal with Scarlet and the two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith shifted his legs sideways, prepared to jump in when necessary. And the bison made their move! That was when the boy reacted. He was ready to take them down. However, someone else made a move.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Starlight sword." A de of light formed in Carolyn''s arm as she sliced the bison. But when she did, another bison came from the side. However,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmpf!" The bison was mmed to the ground by Keith''s shoulder bash.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Watch it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I had it under control." Carolyn frowned. Before he could say anything else.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Air slice!" A de of air came from the side, slicing a bison in half. That was not the only thing as the others came to their aid.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s do this!" They needed to focus their attention on that. The bison were already having trouble dealing with the four. With the addition of the rest, it was simple.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job everyone." Keith took a deep sigh. Riddled on the ground were bison and snakes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yippe! This is going to be delicious!" "Mmhmm."


    <span style="font-weight:400">With so many bison on the ground, they would have a feast."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We could feastter. For now, we need to collect all of them."
