Chapter 312 Iminent danger (7)
As soon as they entered the dungeon, Lily was already forced to use her bow. Just as fluid and as fast as ever, she fired two arrows that deeply pierced the monsters' heads. They barely emerged from the ground and already fell dead.
"Come to think of it, why don't we get a map of the parties that reached the eighth floor?" Lily asked.
"Even if this is a problem that might put the state at risk, most adventurers wouldn't want to share the map that they made after spilling so much blood and sweat," Billy explained. "After so many years trying to clear the dungeon, they will try to become its guild master no matter what. Even if some people were willing to share their map with us, they would be risking losing the chance to work with the next guild master if we don't clear it first."
"Even in a situation like this, people still are thinking about their own benefits, huh," Lily said. "How troublesome…"
"We aren't much better than them. I want the source of income this dungeon will offer to the guild master, and you want to sharpen your Fangs," Billy said.
"I suppose… Still, you want to become even richer, huh," Lily frowned. "I never thought you liked money that much."
"I like the things that money brings, like the conveniences and the problems that it can solve," Billy said. "Rather than talking, you should focus on the next targets."
Although Billy said that, Lily easily put two arrows on their heads. After that, Billy quickly got the horns and then moved onward. It didn't take long for them to find some other parties while they were moving, and those guys couldn't help but frown since their parties had six members. Some frowned even more when they saw that Lily was the only one doing the fighting.
In any case, Billy wanted to advance for four hours and then use two to return to the entrance, but it seemed that things wouldn't be that smooth. After firing three hundred arrows with pinpoint precision, Lily began to miss, and just one hour had passed.
"Three hundred is my limit, huh," Lily said. "I remember that I could fire the double than that during the war."
"You can do some strength training to recover from your leave," Billy said. "You can rest now and leave things to me."
Just like before, Billy began to zap the monsters' heads. If a person of the precious world could see him, they would think that he looked look like a powerful Jedi. In any case, they didn't lose any speed since Lily was the one drawing the map now, but the number of encounters and deadends was troublesome. Fortunately, the scorpions never appeared in more than groups of two. Despite all that, they found the entrance to the second floor after just three hours.
"This is weird, isn't it?" Lily asked. "The monsters got stronger the deeper we went in the other dungeons, but I didn't notice that here."
Maybe they change only on the deeper levels since this place has so many floors. It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case," Billy said.
"Should we check this now?" Lily asked.
"The past, you would beg to check the second floor…" Billy frowned.
"I am aiming to be a respectable mother. I can't let my impatience get the better of me… that being said, waiting for three days would be a pain to confirm this," Lily said.
"I suppose you have a long path ahead of you…" Billy shrugged. "Well, let's go since we have time."
Billy and Lily headed to the second floor. Still, after going down some stairs, they didn't find anything new on the second floor… aside from the fact that the enemies appeared in groups of four, two in the front and two in the back. Their levels also have increased alongside their parameters.

"That is quite the power-up for one floor of difference…" Billy thought while furrowing his eyebrows.
Lily attacked the four monsters around them with fearsome speed. Never mind her firing speed, she turned around and aimed in a single motion, and she stopped in her position just long enough for her arrows to be fired. Billy could only fire four projectiles in half a second using his crossbow, but Lily did that with her bow…
"It seems that they are a bit sturdy…" Lily said while checking how deep her arrows pierced the monsters. "If the monsters keep improving like this, then I won't have a hard time on the third floor."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves," Billy said. "It is time to go."
Although she was a bit out of shape, Lily still managed to sharpen her posture and skills to a fearsome level. She aimed just with her eyes even before her hands could pick an arrow. That was how skilled Billy wanted to be with his crossbow… However, it seemed like a level of Mastery that only those who only used that weapon every single day and for many hours could reach.
"Today was pretty fun and refreshing," Lily said. "I hope you don't mind me coming again to help."
"Sure, why not?" Billy asked. "I can't exactly fight, draw the map and get the materials while moving forward by myself," Billy said.
It had been a while since Billy cleared a dungeon with his friends, and while all of them couldn't reunite and work together, it still was fun to win with one at a time. Regardless, the next will be Sarah, and she was by far the most quiet of the group…
