Chapter 146 - Weather (8) (2/2)
Things were going well once again. While they were some paths that they didn't explore yet were left behind, Billy knew that they were on the halfway point of the dungeon. The reason for that was the fact that now seven Aquatic beasts were appearing with each encounter. He couldn't imagine more than ten appearing in the same spawning point, so that assumption was probably accurate. Nevertheless, they made a lot more progress in just two days. However, they will need to learn how to manage their energy. Otherwise, they will never reach the fifth floor on time.
While Billy was thinking about that, a group of eight aquatic beasts appeared… Fighting them will be hard if they don't take some of them out instantly. Naturally, Billy decided to do exactly that… He dashed toward the enemies on the front and then used Light Spear. The enemy blocked the attack, but its arms were sent in the opposite direction and left the creature wide open. With a single, but quick and precise thrust, Billy made his spear pierce the enemy's brain.
As for the other three around, Billy destroyed their guard with Wind Sphere, and that gave Natalie and Alexander the perfect chance to finish them off.
When Billy turned around, he saw that Kate had put her spears in the head of two monsters. One enemy was already fallen with his body filled with arrows, and the other was trying to reach Lily. Still, the creature was closer to becoming a porcupine than reaching that goal.

”Let's retreat, it is about time,” Billy declared.
The group nodded. They had gotten used to fighting while they were tired. Still, it wasn't easy, and the moment they relaxed, the exhaustion became really troublesome.
”It is pretty hard, don't you agree?” Marie asked. ”We had a really hard time dealing with these guys without exhausting ourselves along the way.”
Billy didn't ask how she managed to overcome that. Since she was a muscle head, Billy could imagine that she just used brute strength as usual.
”I already did pretty much everything possible to make things easier for us… I can't find other methods that will require less energy from all of us,” Billy thought.
Their skills will keep improving, but that wouldn't be enough… After reaching this far, Billy wanted to reach the last room no matter what.. Still, things were looking grim.
