Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"Yes?" Nero was surprised when she saw Elsa's serious look, so she agreed to talk to her, and they walked together where there were no people nearby.

"Nero, you shouldn't level up in front of other people, let alone use <Plunder>; that's too risky." Elsa got right to the point.

"Oh, that's what you were worried about?" Nero smiled a little. "I'm aware of the risks. I did what I did because they were people I trust, and I knew you were watching. I usually level up and use <Plunder> in the dungeon, or in an isolated room."

"I see… I'm glad you understand." Elsa was completely relieved.

Nero laughed a little, then said, "I still need to 'feed' my summoning monsters. I'll be back.."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Elsa nodded. Nero and Elsa went back to where the rest were.

While Elsa was away tending to some things of her own, Nero summoned all her summoning monsters. Currently, Nero only needed tier 15 monster cores, of which she had a little over 3,000. The monster cores she had of different levels she shared among her pets.

The skeleton showed the least emotions when seeing the monster cores, although it started to absorb the energy contained in the nuclei. Even Gabi, the Demonic Humanoid Slime, showed more emotions, to the point of drooling at the sight of the monster cores.

'It's been a while since Gabi has evolved.' This started to make Nero wonder if Gabi would soon be able to evolve again. The current level of her summoned monsters was between level 25 to 26. At level 29 she reached Rank C-. Maybe when she reached this level, Gabi would evolve as well. At least that's what Nero expected to happen.

'With this quantity and quality of monster cores, I hope they reach level 26+,' Nero thought as she sat down to meditate. Well, although she said meditate, what she was really doing was organizing the battle form, creating battle strategies.

After this invasion of the dungeon, she noticed that there were many flaws in the fight formation, mainly the coordination of summoned monsters. Meanwhile, almost at the same time, Choko and the rest started to level up. It was as if one leveled up and then immediately followed by the next.

"How is this possible?!" Elsa kept her red lips parted. Disbelief was written all over his face. Of course, this sort of thing was out of the ordinary. First, it didn't take them long to level up. Second, it was in sequence - an incredible coincidence that they leveled up at the same time, practically. Third, the monster cores were assimilate so quickly.

Elsa begins to suspect something. She looked at Nero's summoning monsters, and soon noticed that they absorb the monster cores just as quickly as Choko and the rest.

'Were they all provided by Nero? Are these monster cores even more special than the monster cores I've myself obtained?' In the beginning, she had already guessed that the monster cores Nero got by using <Plunder> were special.

'Another thing I need to tell Nero to be careful about...' Elsa was cautious when the matter involved Nero. She had traveled far and wide in search of Nero before, and knew how greedy and treacherous humans could be.

Elsa looked through her Hunter Card, and saw that it had a little over 10 billion [Essense Coin]. She intended to use this to sponsor Nero, purchasing an item that created a barrier 30 cubic meters in diameter. With that, she would be able to isolate sound, energy, and even fool people outside, thinking she was doing one thing, when in fact she'd be doing something else.

Nero sensed that her charm was about to be activated again, so she deactivated it before activating it.

'While I'm menstruating... I'll have to keep doing this,' Nero muttered in her mind. It would be tricky if she got out of control again.

The next morning they finished meditating. Nero had already made the summoning monsters return.

The cores were abundant. Because of that, they had only managed to absorb 10% of the monsters' cores. That alone was enough to get them to level 26+.

"Congratulations, you all worked really hard." Nero smiled at them.

Elsa was still present. She then said in a neutral tone, "Breakfast should be ready."

Everyone controlled their emotions of happiness as they settled down. Unlike Nero and Yui, their bodies had a lot of 'imperfection'. Because of that, a lot of impurity was expelled from their bodies.

Nero noticed this, and said, "Before that, they must shower."

Elsa stopped, then she said, "Oh yes, I had forgotten about that. Yes, take a shower first."

"Nero, let's go together?" Choko approached, but kept some distance, not wanting Nero to think she was hurt.

Yui, who had her body 'perfected' by Nero, didn't have this problem. She had been using cores from the beginning with purities that were easy to not assimilate the impurities. Thanks to that, she sweated a little at most, but it didn't reach the point of being unbearable. Without reservation, she hugged Nero's left arm and said with a smile in her cold voice, "Nero, I'm going to take a shower with you too!"

Nero looked into her pure eyes with a beautiful smile, acting flirtatious. She couldn't bear to say no, mainly because Choko didn't say anything against it. She smiled a little, "Okay, let's go."

"Yay!" Yui was filled with a smile, hugging Nero's arm tighter, pressing her breasts that were still developing against Nero, causing a very pleasant soft sensation, in Nero's opinion.

Choko looked at Yui and sighed. She mumbled in her mind, 'What's going on in her mind?'

'Nero has two girls, while I…' Jair looked up at the sky and sighed. But then he shook his hand tightly and said to himself, 'Okay, I don't care! Really! I just want to be strong; a relationship will get in the way... Yes, it would...' He tried futilely to comfort himself.

Obviously, he was right, up to a point. If he got into a relationship where the interests weren't the same and he didn't even like what he did, of course it would get in the way. But if the interests were similar and they were willing to help each other, it would almost certainly be more productive.

Entering the mansion, the employees greeted them with admiration. Nero and the rest had already won the admiration of many people in the city. That was because since they arrived, they'd been making a lot of effort, and having remarkable achievements.

The fact that they had managed to conquer the 4th floor was already known, as their names appeared in the records in the dungeon when this happened.

After they went into the rooms to shower, the employees started talking amongst themselves.

"Wow, they are amazing. I admire them a lot."

"I went to the bakery this morning…" Julia started to speak mysteriously. She was the maid with short shoulder-length black hair with green eyes.

"Why so much mystery, girl? Tell us quickly!" Samantha, with double braided hair, demanded.

Julia smiled, then she continued, "Hehe, calm down, I'm not running away." She stuck out her tongue. "The moment I arrived, everyone had surrounded me. After all, they know I'm Lady Elsa's maid," she proudly said as she puffed out her breasts, "Soon, they started asking a lot of questions about Nero and the rest."

"Well, to be expected. They are very good." Alfredo, the butler nodded elegantly.

"Not only that, hehehe." She laughed like she was up to something. Julia said, "When I said their group name was called Hunters of the Goddess of Love, they freaked out. Listen and don't be surprised," she gave a small smile, "In the previous city they were in, they were so amazing that they created a statue in the central square honoring their glory."

"I expected no less. After all, it's the group formed by Lady Elsa's younger sister," Samantha sighed in wonderment.
