Going to the Third Floor

Asuna slowly sheathed her sword as well. After dealing with one of the Boss's guards, she came to Akasaka's side and sighed deeply. "Finally..."

Usagisawa Misumi was the last to finish.

Her level was lower than the other two's—one level lower than Asuna's, even—making her the lowest-level member of the trio. Thus, she was also the slowest to clear out the monsters. Jogging over while carrying her massive scythe, she arrived at Akasaka's side.

The second-floor Minotaur Boss had two guards in the easiest mode. She and Asuna each took one, helping Akasaka share the pressure.

After spending the past three days grinding monsters, both she and Asuna had reached level 10 or above.

The second floor's guard mini-Boss was level 14, only one level higher.

Its HP was only around 1,100.

Just 100 higher than the first floor's.

Moreover, ever since she and Asuna had surpassed level 10, their attack power had long since broken 100. As long as they landed a dozen or so hits on these monsters, they could take them down.

And the monster's movements were far too slow. Whenever it tried to swing its axe at Asuna, she would deftly evade with a turn of her body.

Every swing of
