Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"Really? I won\'t hold back." Nero needed Cores, and as much as they were on their knees worshiping her, a monster was a monster.

With the sword, she killed the first one, and had no reaction. Guarding herself, she continued, and when she had killed all 300 penguins, she was breathing heavily - not tired, but disbelieving this whole situation. Even Choko and the rest were frozen in place, and it wasn\'t even because the third floor was colder.

There were 200 penguins at level 6 and 100 at level 7. They went down so easy it was inconceivable.

"Now... Goddess Of Love, we... the Four Emperors... who serve... as the third floor Boss... wish to serve... you as... your summons..." the penguin said.

"This won\'t work. I only have 1 more monster summon space; I can\'t accept you 4," Nero said.

"We... four... are 1 body and soul... Even though we seem... separate... we only count as 1..." the penguin spoke.

"…Alright, I\'ll try at least. You look strong. It won\'t be bad if you become my summoned monsters," Nero said.

"It\'s our honor..." The penguin continued to speak respectfully.

*Tame Monster!*

You have captured the Waterfowl Monsters [Valent Penguin Quadrgeminals] Rank D: Level 10

"Nero, what level are they?" Choko asked.

"... Rank E-, Level 10." Nero exhaled a mouthful of cold air.

"My God! I\'m glad we didn\'t fight them." Choko got scared.

"And to top it off, they became Nero\'s summoned monsters of their own free will? I\'ve never seen anything this abnormal before," Honda said, almost pulling her hair.

"I don\'t even want to know what\'s on the fourth floor. I want to go home, *degozaru*." Jingu\'s sanity was completely shaken.

Not just hers, Honda and the rest too. The least affected was Choko.

"Nero, you have a weird smile on your face," Choko warned.

"I do?" Nero faked a cough, but soon a smile formed again.

At the end of the day, Nero was the one with the biggest harvest. Hers was so big it could all disappear together. Nero\'s happiness was so great that she gave 2,000 essence coins to Alex and Maura. The others collaborated and gave a thousand each. The siblings left happy.

Arriving at the inn, the first thing they each did was take a shower. After that, Nero used <Plunder> on all of the monsters. Nero set Choko\'s share of Monster Cores on the bed.

Wasting no time, Nero began to get dressed in her new outfit: a blue helmet with gold feathers on both sides, an armor that covered a good part of the body except the blue and gold color, showing only a little V-shaped neckline. The sleeves were long, the garter belt was black, which matched the gold-on-black skirt, and the boots were black with gold accents. On the back of the dress, it was shaped like a red cape, covering up to the knees. The nhand gloves white white with a fine, delicate fabric.

Nero looked at herself in the mirror and liked what she saw. Then she opened the statuses.

\'Mm... if we had fought, maybe our party would have lost. And why do they all have Berserk mode?\' Nero frowned.

Choko who came out of the bathroom was looking at Nero, petrified. Yes, Nero was beautiful in her Valkyrie armor, there was no way Choko could not be shocked when she saw her. She had an open mouth that even drooled some.

"Choko, close your mouth," Nero joked.

"This armor is beautiful. It looks perfect on you!" Choko said, but then asked, "Where did you get this?"

"I\'m a celestial Goddess, and just when I thought I wanted beautiful armor, this Valkyrie armor came along," Nero said seriously.

"So you really are a Goddess, wow!" Choko totally believed.

"Idiot." Nero laughed and omitted the truth, "You know those four penguins? So they had this armor with them and they gave it to me just now."

"Whew~ If you were a real Goddess, I didn\'t know what to do," Choko sighed.

"Like this?" Nero was confused.

"I mean, if you\'re a Goddess, would you eventually go far away? I don\'t want to be taken away from you!" She hugged Nero.

"I\'m not going anywhere.." Nero walked over and hugged Choko.
