Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 33 - 33

"En." Nero nodded and she wore the gloves. She could feel the difference just by wearing this pair of gloves. Curious, she opened her status.

'Interesting. That gave me +5 Energy and 2+ Strength.' Nero was happy to see that. She was even more motivated now to finish the new mission that appeared. After all, the more attributes she receives when using equipment, the better it would be for her.

While Nero was somewhat distracted looking at her status, a spider came close to them after it became attracted to Jana. Jair moved and appeared in front of the spider and launched a slash from top to bottom with his sword. It was a clean cut that sliced down the head of the spider, dividing the head in two.

Green blood dripped from the body. The spider only took a few more steps with its eight legs, before dropping dead. Indeed, the spider monster up close was very disgusting: eight legs (four on each side), four eyes (two large and two smaller), and two cephalothoraxes. This spider was brown in color and completely furry. Just looking closely, it gave the three girls strong shivers. Even Jair and Breno couldn't help feeling uneasy about the spider's disgusting appearance.

Nero's body hairs stood on end just by seeing this spider up close. But she wouldn't let it shake her. If necessary, she would still touch it and use plunder on it.

That's exactly what Jair did. He approached and used his Hunter Card to plunder the spider.

"Let's take turns killing one spider at a time." Jana thought it better to do so than to take risks and injure herself unnecessarily.

"What do you think of handling the next one, Breno?" Choko suggested.

"That's fine." Breno nodded, as everyone agreed with that suggestion.

Jana once again conjured up a small fireball and chose the next target. This spider, like the other, had the same appearance and the same level.

When Breno got too close, this spider turned out to be smarter and launched an attack in his direction as he ran towards it holding a large spear.

Although not as agile as Nero, Choko, or Jair, he was still quick to dodge the poison and then kicked the ground hard and extended his arms, and thus his spear, lunging towards the spider's head.

Breno withdrew the spear, and blue blood came out. He did not wait to see if the spider died and attacked again at great speed, causing the tip of the spear to go through the spider's head a second time.

When he saw that the spear had completely gone through the spider's head, Breno stopped attacking. Waiting for a while, seeing that the spider was immobile, he approached. Placing his hand on the spider's perforated head, he used plunder.

Minutes later, he returned after plundering the spider. Luckily, the other spiders did not approach to attack, since the party neither moved in close nor attacked them. Because of that, it was very easy for Nero's group to clear the floor, despite being slow.

"Next is your turn, Nero," Jana looked at her and said.

"Okay," Nero nodded.

Jana conjured up another fireball and caught the eye of another level 5 spider.

"Ara? Look who we have here. Hahaha." A ridiculous laugh suddenly came from behind them.

When she heard the sarcastic voice behind her, Nero didn't turn around; she was more concerned with the spider that was coming towards them and it was her turn to kill. With her bow, Nero created a dark arrow and shot at the spider.

*Whoosh!*

'Who is this girl?' Emily, the girl who arrived with a group of people, laughed with the intention of ridiculing Breno, but was surprised to see Nero.

"Tsk! What do you want Emily?" Breno clicked his tongue when he saw the red-haired girl who arrived on the second floor of the dungeon.

Nero was surprised to hear the way Breno, who was always quiet and discreet, spoke to this woman, but she was still paying attention to the spider so she couldn't think much about it.

'How laughable.' Nero mused to herself when she noticed the spider thought about jumping to dodge, but would that spider be faster than an arrow shot by her?

*Swoosh!*

Even the group of five with the redheaded Emily, who was the leader, their jaws dropped when they saw a girl with perfect curves and white hair with a few pink strands using an arrow of darkness to attack.

_ _

You defeated the Insect Monster: [Giant Spider] Rank F: Level 5.

_ _

'Very good,' Nero thought, pleased with herself.

"Who is this girl?" Emily murmured the same thing as she thought before, but she ended up being ignored, which infuriated her.

Nero took a glance at the girl who just murmured. Seeing that her entire group was all stunned on the spot, Nero went to use plunder on the spider, pretending to use her Hunter Card.

Approaching the spider, though in disgust, she put her hand on the spider while holding her Hunter Card. Two minutes later, she supposed it was enough to fool everyone.

_ _

Would you like to plunder the Monster Plant: [Giant Spider] Rank F: Level 5?

_ _

*[Yes]*

_ _

1 [Rank F Monster Core - Level 5] has been added to your inventory.

1 [Elunium F Ore - medium quality] has been added to your inventory.

68 [Essence Currency] have been added to your inventory.

Nero walked over and stood next to Choko and asked while looking at the newcomers, "Who are they?"

"Hrm, she and Breno were both engaged..." Choko sighed.

"I understand." Nero didn't ask anymore. She realized that she had touched on a sensitive subject that had nothing to do with her. Instead of fueling her curiosity, Nero preferred not to meddle where things were none of his business.

"What do you want?" Breno said nonchalantly to the redhead, "Didn't you have something to say?"

"Humph! I have nothing to say to a loser like you. Only, I was surprised to see someone as weak as you on the second floor of the Dungeon." She scoffed.

"Emily, don't waste your time with *this* type of person." Said the messy dark-haired boy.

"Fábio is right, Emily. He is not worth your time," said a girl with blond hair and full breasts looking like they were going to explode from her blouse at any moment.

'It must be ridiculously heavy and uncomfortable to have breasts that size...' Nero looked at her own breasts and nodded, satisfied with her size and shape.

"Hahaha. That's right, spit on the plate you once ate from," Jana said with disdain.

"W- What do you mean, Jana?" Emily became nervous. She gave Jana a meaningful stare as if she didn't want her to say what she knew.

"Do you really want me to speak?" Jana said amusedly, seeing Emily's current expression which was no different than a thief who was caught in the act.

"Come on... let's go. I'm not in the mood to hunt today," Emily said hastily. She turned and started to leave.
