Finally, after what seemed like an aimless exploration, they entered the tunnel where the boss room was located.

"Myne, the boss… it seemed, had already been defeated."

While Myne was looking at the five-meter-tall iron door, which was wide open and further covered in thick darkness from which nothing could be seen, Aisha, beside him, who was holding a map, spoke with a serious expression.

He turned his head to her, and looked her up and down, before reaching his hand inside her skirt when the others weren't paying attention and pinching her soft, bubbly buttocks hard with an expressionless face.

"I can see that too. You don't have to tell me such useless nonsense with that serious expression."

Basically, what she said was a fact that even an idiot knows. The mechanism of a boss room inside a dungeon is very simple: when the giant door is closed, it means the boss is inside, and you should be prepared for battle. Once someone enters, it will be locked immediately.

Then, after defeating the boss, the lock automatically unlocks, and the door opens by itself.

The door remains open until the boss respawns, before closing, so new death-seekers know that someone is waiting for them inside.

"You… I will deal with you tonight. You're becoming more and more of a rascal!" Aisha, whose buttocks were hurting because Myne had pinched too hard, hit him on the head with the map and whispered angrily.

But just as Myne was about to continue teasing Aisha, Sylphy, who had gone to investigate who might have entered the boss room ahead of them, came back and shook her head.

"There are no footsteps or anything around here that could give us any clue as to who or how many people are inside."

"Let's forget about it and let's move forward. Maybe it's an adventurer party that came to grab the first clear reward. I've heard that the first clear reward of any new dungeon is very generous, and since it's been quite some time since this new dungeon opened, it's very normal for those greedy adventurers to find this place," Myne said calmly.

He had heard stories about adventurers doing anything for profit and reputation. There were once rumours that an adventurer party, in order to grab the first clear reward of a high-difficulty dungeon, killed an entire town because they needed a lot of time to clear that dungeon, and the townspeople wanted to publicly release information about that dungeon to everyone so the town could attract tourists and other adventurers and gain profit from it.

"What if there's a demon inside? You know, the location of this dungeon is very hidden, and unless someone has a special skill or is extremely lucky, it's not easy to find it. But it's a different story for demons, I heard, that they can sense nearby dungeons," Aisha asked thoughtfully while rubbing her chin.

"If there's a demon inside, just beat him down. Anyway, I haven't seen any demons from our world. This way, at least I finally have a chance to meet one," Myne didn't take this seriously at all. To him, demons or anything from his world were no longer something he focused on; they were just too weak compared to the dangers outside his world.

"By the way, since the boss was defeated, how long will it take for the boss to respawn?" He asked Aisha. Since he has already come to this dungeon for a picnic, he doesn't mind grabbing some new skills. The skills of dungeon bosses are quite rare and useful, and it's been a while since he has acquired any new skills.

"Hm, it depends on the dungeon… But I think this dungeon would take a longer time. The time it takes for a boss to spawn depends on the amount of mana stored inside a dungeon. The more mana, the faster it is for the boss to spawn. This dungeon was recently made; it's still in a state where mana isn't accumulated in huge quantities."

"Since mana density is very low here, generating a new boss is obviously going to be a very tough task for this new dungeon."

With much greater experience in exploring dungeons and having access to a huge source of information from the Adventurers' Guild, Aisha shared her opinion after a moment of thinking.

"That makes sense."

Everyone nodded at Aisha's explanation.

Since the boss wasn't going to respawn anytime soon, they didn't waste time and quickly walked into the boss room, ready to move to the next floor. Because dungeon monsters are special, and most of the time after they are killed, they just vanish into thin air, leaving a bunch of loot behind for their killer, there were no dead bodies or blood on the ground of the boss room, and it was neat and clean.

Myne and his group casually looked around to see if there was anything that could provide them with information about the people who came before them. Finding nothing, they went directly to the floating magic crystal at the end of the boss room. Touching it would teleport them to the next floor, which was the first basement floor.

...

Basement First Floor

"It looks exactly the same. As expected, there's nothing new here," Myne, who had been looking forward to a new floor because he was tired of seeing the dark, cave-like interior of the dungeon, shook his head in disappointment.

This was also the reason why, after visiting a few dungeons in his free time with his girls, he never personally took the initiative to go there for levelling up. First of all, most dungeons seemed to be made by someone who was too bored and just copied and pasted them; you could find countless similarities in each dungeon that matched other dungeons.

Second, most of the monsters were the same—like goblins, slimes, orcs, ogres, trolls, some small insect monsters, etc. It was very rare to find new, unique, never-before-seen monsters—at least in the dungeons in the Aguesta Kingdom. Myne had never seen any kind of dungeon monster that could make people pee in their pants just by looking at it.

And finally, their level. Most dungeons were very low-level ones with only a few floors; their monsters, loot, and everything else were very ordinary and low-level, which could only attract the attention of ordinary adventurers. There was nothing thrilling or life-threatening that could make a high-level individual's blood boil just by hearing about it, forcing them to leave everything behind and come to clear that dungeon.

"This floor is the same. I can't sense any mana here as well," Waffle, who was casually floating around, spoke while shaking his head. Although he wasn't a picky guy, he actually didn't like low-density mana zones much; he felt a little uncomfortable and suffocated there.

"Maybe there's something wrong with this dungeon. Otherwise, no matter how low-level or newly born this dungeon is, the mana density here shouldn't have fallen to a nearly extinct point," Aisha spoke with a frown. But because she had never encountered such a problem, she didn't have any clue about it and could only advise others to be vigilant.

Although the mana density was close to none, the monsters inside the dungeon didn't seem to have any problem in this kind of environment. Only after walking for a few minutes, Myne and the others encountered another group of new monsters.

[ Name: Lion

LV: 16

Race: Lion Race ( Faithfulness and Felidae Family )

Gender: Male

[Skill]

Strong Arms ( Large )

Cooperation Telepathy ( Short Distance )

[Ability]

Biting ]

"Wow, it's a White Lion. I had no idea there would be a lion inside a dungeon. By the way, why do all the monsters in this dungeon seem to have an intense love for white colour?" Myne joked while looking at the new skill with a hint of curiosity.

[ Cooperation Telepathy (Short Distance)

Description: Those who have this skill can telepathically talk to each other. However, the range is limited to a 3-meter radius.

Cooldown Time: None ]

"Hmm, although I have Fenrir', and other divine beasts' telepathy skills, their use is very limited. But this skill is also useless; it only has a 3-meter radius. If I have to talk to someone within such a short distance, can't I just call them out? Sigh, hopefully, this floor boss has an updated version of this skill.

Shaking his head, Myne applied this to himself, his two wives, and their pets, before explaining its uses to them.

"Good! With that, we can finally talk with Ocea! I always wanted to talk with her properly, but because we don't have her mother's blessing, we can't talk with her. But with this skill, that problem is finally solved!" Aisha said with brightened eyes, looking as if she would rush to Ocea deep in the mana ocean if she could.

"Ohh, yes, I almost forgot about this!" Sylphy nodded excitedly. "But now, why don't we move our muscles? I'm feeling itchy after wandering in this cave for so long without doing anything."

After that, without Myne saying anything, with a tactical understanding, everyone rushed toward the group of lions and started killing them. Since the power difference between both two parties was too huge, it was nothing but a one-sided massacre.
