Danmachi - Card Wizard

"Well, let's start." Said Aidan as both of them took their own side and started to exterminate the monsters in their surroundings.

While Aidan used his cards to attack a wide range, Ais went for more precision by sending wind slashes in the water at the locations marked on the map card Aidan had copied for the girl.

Little by little, the two went further in the middle of the lake as they were rapidly clearing the monsters who were on the side of the beach. With the amount of monsters they cleared out, the two were surprised at the guts of the townspeople who paid no mind to the monsters while fishing in boats or on the beach. After all, they had already killed over five hundred water type monsters and it hadn't been an hour yet.

Most importantly however, was that there weren't only level one or two monsters in there, there were multiple level three, over a dozen level four along with three level five monsters who used to live in the lake. Of course, had it not been for the low amount of mana outside of the dungeon which forced the monsters to enter hibernation to collect enough mana in their bodies, the whole port city would have long been destroyed.

Thankfully, the stronger the monster, the more mana needed which caused them to enter a longer cycle of hibernation. It was obviously also the cause of the low amount of sightings of the three great monsters, the behemot, leviathan and one-eyed black dragon over the thousand years after they escaped from the dungeon.

After all, if those monsters could live freely on the surface without any problems, the races would have long been extinguished as strong enough warriors to fight the monsters such as level 8 and 9 and others such as Albert Wallenstein were exceedingly rare in history.

Thankfully, now that the Zeus and Hera familia had cleared two of the three great quests, the world was also a lot safer altough one and the strongest still lived to this day.

However, the problem of the Lolog lake was that if the level five monsters could not hibernate directly in the center and deepest part of the lake, it meant that there should at least be a level six monster in the center which wasn't that surprising since monsters from the great dungeon break a thousand year prior had not all been cleared and they had reproduced or gotten stronger with time.

Altough they were surprised, it didn't deter the two youngsters who continued the extermination task of the Lolog lake. Currently they had only cleared about a quarter of the lake and the monsters were alrerady starting to rouse out of their sleep as they were either disturbed by the magic blasts or the blood which started to spread all across the lake. Aidan had no hesitation that some time would be needed before the blood dissipated properly from the lake.

As the sun started to dissapear from the horizon, the two teammates, who had fought for a part of the day and created a large field for monster extermination, decided to go back to the side into the forest and prepare a camp to relax and enjoy some time. After all, the goal of this trip was not only to destroy the monsters and clean the lake but also to relax a bit outside of the dungeon and enjoy their time together.

With the camp completed, the duo went and washed properly with pure water to clean off the salt from their bodies before they, just like they did ever since they met, shared the tent and slept together as from what was a need from Ais in the past became a custom for the two of them as they always felt great and safe together.

The following morning, the two woke up and rested a bit under the covers enjoying the heat and the feeling of simply being lazy in bed. Since they spent most of their time in the dungeon or with the goal of exploring the floors, they rarely had free time and they made sure to enjoy it as much as they could.

After half an hour spent lazily while cuddling with their partner, the duo ate an already prepared breakfast and went back to their favorite passtime, monster hunting. Over the course of the night, due to the previous noise, magical power and blood spread in the water, many monsters had moved in the lake and taken new 'territory' from the dead monsters. Of course, they also took the chance of eating some of them since it was free food and everyone liked free food as long as it was good.

With the monsters a bit more spread out, Ais went over to the previously cleared area and started to clean up the scattered monsters while Aidan who used large scale attacks went to new parts of the lake that they hadn't yet cleaned. Their way of doig things would surely allow a pretty good speed at clearing the monsters which were already a lot less than the previous day. Adding the barrier card he had put at the entrance of the lake to the ocean, the lake would soon be completely cleared up.

As such fo the remaining of the day, the duo continued to clean-up operation which continued for the seven following days. After all, it was not that they were slow but that the lake was way too huge with way too many monsters.

Finally, after having cleared the monsters including the peak level six monsters in the depths of the Lolog lake, Aidan and Ais went back to the small community and they enjoyed an extra week of vacations which was provided for free by the citizens and the best chefs came to cook for them for their remaining time in their small vacations. it was their own way of thanking them for clearing the monsters and eleminating this huge danger. It was especially so after they learned that a level six monster slumbered in the depths of the lake, so close to their homes.

Finally, it was their time to go back to Orario and once again dive into the dungeon, exploring it and hoping to find the way down.. After all, they were certain that a lower floor existed so if they couldn't find a hole or the stairs leading down, they wouldn't have much choice but to bombard and destroy the floor at the cost of summoning a juggernaut which they would most propably evade by using the teleportation card and creating a teleportation formation down to be able to come back without destroying everything.
