Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"So this is what a 5-10 level dungeon looks like?" Choko muttered as they entered.

Unlike what she was used to, this one wasn\'t dark with water dripping from the ceiling, it was like it was done in something like an abandoned castle, with some parts that looked like they were made by humans. It was white in color with trees attached to the walls. While the ground, there were footprints, and some branches, and crushing plants.

"Infected..." Jingu identified the monsters on the first floor.

The monsters were gruesome, with deformed body parts and some parts looking like pus.

"Yuck, that\'s disgusting!" Choko held himself back from vomiting.

"Yes, it\'s very disgusting." Nero agreed.

" Err ... So, should I go as bait?" Alex asked.

"No." Nero denied it.

"Want my sister to go?" When he asked this, Maura, the little girl of 15 at most, shivered from head to toe and bit her lower lip, but she was starting to walk towards the horrible monsters.

"Hey, are you two looking down on us?" Choko took a step forward and slapped one gauntlet against the other: "Who says we need you two to be bait? We just want you two to fill in the number needed to enter the dungeon, and in the end, we\'ll still give you both a commission for that, other than that, you don\'t have to do anything else."

"Exactly, degozaru." Jingu smiled at the pair of brothers: "Just follow us and wait for this to end and then we\'ll make it up to you two for accompanying us."

Maura was disbelieving, she opened her eyes wide in shock. It was the first time this had happened. There were even those barbarians who not only used them as bait but also...

Shaking her head, Maura didn\'t speak, she gripped the hem of her shirt and looked at Alex.

Alex felt his heart ache to see her sister not seem to believe what she heard, but of course, even for him, it was hard to believe. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Okay, thanks."

"Good work." Nero rubbed Choko\'s head and praised her.

Upon hearing her praise, Choko\'s body was pumped with an indescribable feeling of excitement. She struggled hard to suppress her excitement.

"Well, time to get to work." Nero tapped his foot on the ground.

[Water Monster [Mutant Turtle] (Big Blue) Level F: Level 6 – Was Summoned!]

[Beastly Monster [Platinum Wolf] (Luna) Level F: Level 5 – Was Summoned!]

[Plant-Human Monster [ Demonic Goblin Slime] Rank F: Level 5 - Was Summoned!]

"Incredible!" Alex covered his mouth in shock.

Even Maura opened her mouth wide, shocked to the limit.

\'So she is able to summon 3 monsters at the same time, gozaru...\' Jingu was also surprised.

"Well, you don\'t mind if I\'m the first to attack, yes?" Nero asked with a smile that wasn\'t a smile.

Still stunned, Jingu nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Choko already knew Nero\'s three summon monsters, so she wasn\'t surprised.

"Well, here I come."

"Luna, and Big Blue, you know what to do." Nero only controlled the Demonic Goblin Slime. Since it was lacking in the question of intelligence. She did use: *Spit Acid!* and a jet of acid went in the direction of an infected feline-type monster the size of a German Shepherd.

Big Blue and Luna coordinated together, while Big Blue used *Waterjet!* Luna waited for the monster to approach and attacked with her sharp claws.

*Whoosh!*

Holding a ball of dark energy, Nero used: *Queen\'s throw!*

_ _

You defeated the Feline Monster: [Infected Lynx] Rank F: Level 5.

Pet: Silver Wolf defeated the Feline Monster: [Infected Ocelot] Rank F: Level 5.

Monster Summoned: Demonic Goblin Slime defeated Feline Monster: [Infected Leopard] Rank F: Level 5.

_ _

"Sorry, we ended up killing all three." Nero laughed awkwardly.

"Okay, that was able to get the attention of these two over there, gozaru," Jingu pointed with his samurai sword at two infected cats.

"Need help?" Nero asked.

"No, let us see if we can defeat it alone, if necessary, then yes, you can help, okay?" Choko said.

"Okay." Nero easily agreed.

Nero\'s footsteps looked like phantom footsteps, and within seconds, she got in front of the dead monsters\' bodies and tucked it into her Hunter Card.

Meanwhile, Jingu had already arrived in front of the monster and with her samurai sword, she slashed five times. It was so fast that it was almost unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Soon the cut trail appeared on the monster\'s body and the head was severed and blood spurted.

Jingu was already prepared and dropped back, avoiding being stained with blood.

Choko let it out in the air. Then she fell like a meteor with her fists down and lashed out towards the infected monster.

*Booom!*

The ground shook. Her blow hit the infected monster\'s rib and the damage was even worse than Jingu\'s, totally denting the monster\'s rib bones, nearly splitting it in two.

"Very strong!" Alex and Maura were stunned.

"Brother, they are amazing," Maura said quietly.

"Yeah." Alex nodded.

Now they understood why they didn\'t need bait.

What nonsense!

Being so strong, why do they need them to be bait?

Even the three summoned monsters were powerful.

Taking a deep breath, calming his churning heart, Alex clenched his fists. He wanted that kind of power, if he had it, he could make a good living for his sister without having to bait a bunch of assholes.

Choko did the same as Nero, storing the monster\'s corpses directly in the inventory instead of using <Plunder>.

"Oh, you two are directly guarding instead of using <Plunder>, gozaru." Jingu thought and said, "Yes, if you do this it saves time, well, I\'ll do that too." She smiled.

That wasn\'t exactly why, but Nero saw no need to correct her. After all, she wouldn\'t tell Jingu that she just found out about her secret. But of course, she could help her if they continued to group together.

Again Nero commanded her summoned monsters and returned to attack.

Choko and Jingu waited, as they didn\'t want to get caught in the crossfire.. After they saw Nero finished making his move, they sprang into action.
