**BAMMM!!


    The de wraith''s shnded on the ground, creating a small crater where itnded and releasing a unidirectional sh of energy.


    Evan noticed this and dropped to one knee before turning his de around and stabbing it into the ground, going on to infuse it with magic power and brace for impact.


    The energy in the sh and the magic power infused into the unforged canceled each other out and Evan released his hold on the sword, kicking off the ground and dashing forward immediately after.


    Sparks danced around his arms as he summoned his gauntlets from his inventory and encased them with lightning.


    Eliza timely assisted him by buffing his speed, with two rings of green light appearing around his ankles as he dashed forward faster than the de wraith could recollect itself afterunching such a powerful attack.


    Instantly arriving in front of the monster, Evan grabbed its de with his left hand and punched forward with his right hand.


    [Electrome.]


    Ka who was seated on Evan''s shoulder all this while, calmly called out as a small rose of mes bloomed in front of Evan''s fist one second before itnded on the de wraith''s face.


    **BAAMM!!


    Thebination of fire and lighting overloaded the de wraith''s head with a small explosion, ending its life immediately.


    However, in the next moment, the second de wraith''s sword came shing through the cloud of smoke, intending to lopping Evan''s head off.


    ◇ ◇ ◇


    While Evan was dealing with his own share of the de wraiths, Eliza was testing out her staff skills with another set.


    Although her agility wasn''t exactly the best, it was still higher than the average D rank adventurer and even some lower levelled C rank adventurers.


    "Hap!"


    She performed five consecutive staff strikes without hesitation, twirling the staff in her hand around with fluid movements as the de wraith she was facing didn''t even have a chance to attack.


    Nevertheless, her attack power was definitely lower than average and the monster was higher levelled than she was.


    Finishing it off with just five strikes was simply impossible.


    ''In that case...''


    Her eyes shed with a green light as rings of light appeared around her wrists and ankles, boosting her strength and speed respectively.


    With her right-hand palm facing up and left-hand palm facing down, she nted the butt of her staff on the ground and ran forward a bit before jumping up into the air.


    The de wraith that was just about to sh at her could only stare at her with confusion on its face as with all its intelligence, it could not understand why the opponent in front of it had used her weapon as a boost to jump into the air.


    Eliza''s next actions only served to make the monster more surprised as she flipped in mid-air while maintaining her tight grip on the staff.


    Naturally, she ended up pulling the staff into the air with her as she infused it with magic power.


    By the time the staff was over her head while she was still in the air, the second de wraith she was facing finally realized she was the target of whatever she nned to do and rose its sword to defend.


    In the next moment, Eliza mmed her energy-infused staff downwards, targeting the second de wraith who rose its gripped its sword with both hands and rose it to block her attack.


    **BAM!


    Despite looking like a random wooden staff, Eliza''s staff was able to stand its ground against the monster''s de, even making the monster''s arms tremble from the force behind the attack.


    By this time, gravity had done its job of returning Eliza back to the ground and she did not hesitate to apply more buff on herself as the rings of light on her right leg multiplied by three.


    She then unleashed a kick to the defenceless torso of the monster, sending it flying to the side as it mmed into the dungeon wall.


    In the corner of her eyes, she inadvertently nced at Evan who was dashing towards his opponent with lighting crackling down his arms as she sent a simple speed buff to him before ducking to avoid the diagonal sh of the other de wraith that cut off a few strands of her blonde hair.


    The monster instantly redirected its de and tried to get a hit in but it was stopped by a translucent wall of magic power that appeared right before Eliza at thest moment.


    The battle priestess let go of her staff and coated her arm in magic power as she sent a punch toward the monster''s torso.


    Although it did little damage, the knockback the de wraith received was great, giving her space to recollect herself and pick her staff back up in preparation for her next attack.


    She took a deep breath and lunged forward after increasing the number of buffs on herself to the maximum she could maintain at once.


    Her staff mmed into the torso of the de wraith, breaking through its body''s defences and piercing a hole in its stomach.


    Using all her strength, Eliza mmed the monster into the wall behind it, pushing her staff further into its body until it burst out from its back, sttering blood on the wall.


    To finish the job, she created a small barrier around her fist and punched the monster''s head with it multiple times, only stopping when she heard the sound of bones cracking.


    She then pulled out her staff and twirled it around her fingers before turning around to face to other de wraith that was charging toward her with a glowing de.


    ◇ ◇ ◇


    While Eliza was performing her wonderful pole vault that left two de wraiths too stunned to act, Pride was experimenting to see how well she could coordinate her attacks with the fire spirit Amy.


    The moment vanitas shed with the de wraith''s sword, it was engulfed in bright red mes that surprisingly did not give off any heat.


    Taking advantage of the monster''s instinctive reaction to back away from the sudden mes, Pride pressed forward and forced the monster to pull back its weapon to recollect itself.


    At that moment, the second de wraith charged toward Pride from her left side after observing that she was holding her sword on her right.


    However, the ancient high demon only infused her de with demonic energy, activating one of its effects as she made a circr sh while moving forward a little bit at the same time.


    The de wraith had no choice but to stop its charge and swing its de to its right side in an attempt to block Pride''s iing sh.


    **CLANG!!!


    The moment it did, three spears of mes materialized behind it and shot towards its feet, mming into them and making it lose its footing.


    Pride did not hesitate to take advantage of this as she lunged forward, ignoring the other de wraith that sent out a sh of pure magic power in her direction.


    She poured more demonic energy into her de and released three rapid sword strikes, aiming at the de wraith''s arms and feet respectively.


    Right after this, she kept pressing the monster, not giving it a chance to rest as she kicked off the ground and dashed forward once more, swinging her sword at as fast as she could, her target being the neck of the unfortunate de wraith.


    Mid-swing, her de was engulfed in mes as the corners of her lips curled up a bit.


    The sword infused with demonic energy and engulfed in mes was enough to sever the unfortunate monster''s head and sent it flying into the air.


    She then turned around and saw the other de wraith lying on the floor, its whole body charred ck from being continuously bombarded with mes.


    The fire spirit on her shoulder then poked her to attract her attention before gesturing to the monster.


    Pride chuckled lightly as she went forward and severed the head of the de wraith, putting an end to its misery.


    The me spirit then floated in front of her and asked.


    [Did I do good?]


    Her voice sounded like that of a young girl between eight to ten years old. Pride''s eyes widened upon hearing this as she never expected the spirit to sound so young but she quickly recollected herself and replied.


    "So-so, you have to make yourself more useful."


    Hearing her reply, Amy nodded to herself before resuming her previous position on Pride''s shoulder.


    On the other hand, Pride was looking at Evan and Eliza who were making short work of their opponents.


    Eliza had overpowered the de wraith and had bashed its head in with her staff while Evan had taken inspiration from Amy and torched his opponent with me magic.


    "Let''s move on, shall we? I have more skills to test."


    Evan spoke up as he moved down the dungeon hall, stretching his hand into the air as he gave a mentalmand.


    The unforged that was stabbed into the ground a few meters away from him suddenly vibrated before uprooting itself from the ground and flying into his open palm.


    "That looks cool, how''d you do it?"
