After going 9 times on the first floor, they stopped. They were already tired. Although the level was not high, it was an absurd amount. In total, they killed an average of 19,026 Goblins. 8,595 LV13, 6,606 LV14, and 2,799 LV15 in addition to the 10 Goblin Kings. That averaged to 2,378 for each of them, a good amount to level them up.

Nero, on the other hand, was just under level 13.

"Wait, let's switch monster cores. I just need LV13 monster cores,

" Nero told the others.

"Okay.

" Already knowing Nero's habit of wanting a certain level of monster cores, they didn't object. For them higher level monster cores were better in a way. After settling on a fair trade, she ended up with nearly 10,000 LV 13 monster cores.

'There are still some high-level ones left.' Nero looked at her summoned monsters and shared the high-level cores with them.

"Let's get started, *Degozaru~*

" Jingu was super excited. Maybe when she finished meditating, she could reach level 22.

"Leveling up is fun~

" Yui smiled as she spoke in her cool, soft voice.

It was an addictive sensation to level up. It was not a coincidence that there were people dependent on leveling up. It may sound like a joke, but the reality was that many took a high risk to level up just to feel the sensation of leveling up. Of course, not everyone was like that. Only 10% became dependent on leveling up. Those who fell to the point of eating monster cores directly and becoming frantic were obviously rare cases.

"Just don't get lost because of this feeling,

" Nero warned.

"Fine, I won't do that.

" Yui nodded, her little head with long white hair falling softly in front of her face. It was the face of an angel; or should one say, a fallen angel?

"Very well,

" Nero said. Her smile lit up the dungeon.

"Shall we eat a little first?

" Choko suggested.

"It's a good idea, I'm hungry, now that you say it.

" Jair rubbed his flat stomach.

"Mm, I agree.

" Honda chuckled softly.

"I'm starving~

"

"Here, Yui, for you.

" Choko handed her a ham sandwich with pepperoni and lots of cheese.

"Thanks.

" Yui ate hungrily. It was delicious.

After eating, Yui hugged Choko. She pulled her down and whispered in her ear,

"Thank you, Choko. It was delicious. I love you~

"

Choko's throat was dry. She couldn't speak, so she just went to Nero to try to find a reason for her to act like that. Shaking her head, Choko focused on meditating. The rest also began to meditate. Nero sits quietly on the floor. She had her eyes closed as she thought.

Hours later, Choko finished meditating, she approached Nero who had her eyes closed while keeping her legs crossed. In the next second, Nero's thick eyelashes fluttered slightly and she opened her eyelids. There was a glazed look in her eyes that made them look especially clear and yet calm. She had taken a nap, but despite that, her eyes still looked especially pure and bright when she opened them.

Choko was astonished as always. She hugged Nero and took advantage that no one was looking to kiss her.

"You are quite daring, Choko.

" When Nero said that part, her eyes were slightly closed and her lips curved in a smile that also had a touch of teasing. Coupled with that pair of slightly pink, glowing eyes of hers, her face looked especially stunning in the light from the dungeon crystals.

When they left the dungeon, it was already night.

"Nero, guys.

" Elsa was already waiting outside.

"Elsa…

" Nero muttered.

"Big sister to you~

" Elsa smiled, then she transferred to Nero 20,000 LV13 cores.

"Oh... Big sister, thank you~

" Nero kissed her cheek. Nero's charm had been activated without her realizing it, and now it was too late. She had already done it, but seeing Elsa's satisfied smile, she didn't think it was that bad...

After deactivating the charm again, Nero asked,

"Was it difficult?

"

"No, that was easy enough,

" Elsa said with a cold expression but smiled soon after.

"That's nice.

" She smiled at Elsa and her white teeth flashed. Elsa loved that little smile.

"Let's go back, I want to take a shower,

" Nero said as she stretched.

Elsa didn't hesitate and lowered her eyes slightly before answering in a deep voice,

"Okay.

" The rest followed them towards Elsa's mansion.

"I'm hungry,

" said Yui.

The people around who heard her speak were astonished. Thinking of the female voice they heard, her voice was cold, but she looked a little cute.

"I already told Zacharias to have a feast ready,

" Elsa said indifferently.

"Oh, cool~

" Yui's cold voice hissed a little.

.

.

It was almost midnight. Nero was awake, wearing cute pink pajamas with white flowers. She had 20,000 LV13 aquatic monster cores in front of her. Holding them all, she saw a message on her retina.
