Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

Chapter 63 Dawn Forest Day Three (Part IV)

This turtle shield should sell for a hefty amount. Putting it in our bag, we went to the third floor. Like the first two floors, the water here got higher. This time it went as high as a quarter of our legs. I wonder how much longer we would be able to go deeper into this dungeon.

"Eels are approaching us!" Citrus shouted quickly.

The monsters had changed slightly, unlike frogs that would attack us in range. It was an eel. It was annoying to fight them since they swam at a fast pace, rendering our attack useless.

It was a good thing that they were electrical eels. Otherwise, things would've been dicey. Riley used her magic and pushed the eels up into the air. Not wasting any more time, I pierced the eels with my magic finishing them off.

The path was cleared of any enemies, and we went further into the dungeon. More monsters had appeared. This time it was a group of small crocodiles that had shown up.

They were small compared to the ones I had seen in my old world. It was pretty cute when you looked at it. Even if they were aggressive, I couldn't see them much as a threat. It is a shame that they had to die.

It was my first time using my sword for the day. I went in at them and cut them up. For a monster on the third floor, they seemed weaker than the monsters on the first two floors. They weren't fast and were as strong as a low second-rank monster.

I had asked them what the third-floor boss was. They told me it was a giant crocodile. The one that we were fighting could be considered a baby compared to it.

The monsters on the floor were relatively the same. We were almost in the territory on the boss floor. Minutes had passed, and we had arrived. Up ahead, the giant crocodile was there staring at us.

It opened its mouth and chewed on its teeth, trying to intimidate us. The crocodile was at the border of a rank two monster. If it got any stronger, there was a chance for it to break through, making it a tier-three boss. This monster was as strong as the serpent I had fought before it evolved.

After initiating an attack, Tina, watching this whole time quietly, started using her bug magic. This monster could genuinely hurt us, so she went in to attack. She had summoned tiny mosquitoes surrounding the crocodile, trying to suck its blood.

The crocodile tried to stop the flying bugs by shaking its body and using the water to repel them. With its large body, it was futile. There were too many mosquitoes for it to stop it. I could see it agonized as the boss's blood was beginning to drain.

The four of us didn't feel the need to step in since the fight seemed like it was over. Tina looked slightly drained, summoning many bugs to swarm the boss. It was a good thing I could defend against attacks like that overwise. I might have a mental meltdown if I faced her.

Now that the first three floors had been cleared, we were going in blind, we didn't know what was ahead of us, but the monsters would be stronger in the future.

"Tina, do you want to rest before we go in?" We had all the time we needed. We didn't need to rush in. Tina, who heard me, shook her head, saying that we should continue. I couldn't tell her to rest, and the rest of her members didn't want to ruin her mood.

The water went to our kneecaps, and the five of us entered the fourth floor. I don't think we could continue after the fifth floor if it kept rising. I could see why they wanted extra help. Riley could push the water away, but it would go to her allies. Most of Tina's insects were used for air and ground.

"About two large fishes are coming!" Citrus warned us that we could see that shadow within the water. These fish were large, the largest ones I had ever seen. I wondered what it would taste like if they were freshly cooked.

Focusing on the monsters ahead, I fired a plasma spear toward them. One of my attacks had hit the giant fish, and it pierced its body. Seeing that the fish was struggling to move, my spear had not killed it.

The fish that I hit was incapacitated, leaving the other fish around. Seeing that I had harmed its friend, it came rushing to me. I wasn't worried about the fish coming at me because the movement of the fish was too linear.

Timing my attack, I launched another spear toward the direction of the fish attacking me. Unlike the last one, my hit landed on the head, instantly killing it.

"You girls want to eat fish for dinner? I heard high-ranking fish taste great for seafood lovers." I haven't had seafood since I came to this world. Now that there was a chance to eat one, I should take the opportunity to use it.

Hearing me say they looked hesitant to eat it, it was worth points. "I could use the fish as my portion of the deal." I didn't mind since I was the one that wanted to eat it.

They didn't hesitate anymore because I was going to make it mine. The group agreed since they were also craving fish for the night. It looks like we had fish. It was a shame that we didn't bring sauce for seasoning.

The water was getting to them. The more we walked, the more demoralized they became. No one liked being wet for hours. I wanted to help them, but there might be a chance that I could harm them instead. We explored more of the cave and headed to the boss room.
