Nerve-Wreaking.

At this moment, Both Aren and Luna were releasing their strongest skills on the ground.
They could release two skills in one round, and after that, they would drink spirit water from the barrel to refill their spirit energy.
Aren attacked the walled sides of this cave's ground because the quest described that the python was sleeping underground. Since it's underground, the corners of the grounds should be hollow in this cave, while the other cave where Luna is attacking should be more hollow because there is not a spec of plant or greenery in that cave.
Aren felt that the chances of breaking the ground to reach underground were in that cave. Still, he couldn't abandon that possibility in this cave as well because the red barries plants were everywhere except for the walled 1-meter area around this cave's borders.

Time passed as Aren and Luna continued the cycle of releasing two skills before drinking spirit water.

Suddenly, Aren received a notification about receiving spiritual contact from Luna, and he hurridly accepted it.
Luna--" Found it! Come here, fast! "
Aren didn't even answer as he just put the barrel in his inventory and directly ran towards the first cave and saw that the left side of the cave had a hole and Luna was standing there.
" Aren. I can see a creature's body from the gaps. " Luna shouted hurridly before drinking spirit water from the barrel.
Aren nodded with a serious face as he waved his hand and released < Wind Slash > to widen the gap and moved towards it.
Luna finished drinking enough to release one < Double Rend > and again attacked that ground part as the ground broke to make a wider hole.

Both of them jumped down and landed on the python's body that was 3 meters thick and who knew how long.
This underground cave had four thick pillars, and it led deeper on two sides as the giant python was wrapped around pillars, and they couldn't see its head or tail.
" How are we supposed to kill this monster? " Luna mumbled hopelessly.
Aren looked around and saw the two paths before saying, " Since the quest told us to kill it before it wakes up from the slumber, then we can definitely kill it before it wakes up. Hurry up and go to that side. "
Luna nodded as she ran towards that path, while Aren ran towards the other path.

The moment Aren exited from that short passage, He gulped and saw the giant python's head.
A blood-red orb was floating on top of its head.
The python's eyes were closed, but it looked super terrifying. Its height was 2 meters, and its width was 3 meters. As for the length, It was unknown.
Aren gritted his teeth as this was not time to be scared, ' That father red dragon is more terrifying. '
He called Luna and asked if she found something strange like the blood-red orb here, but Luna said no, and hearing that Aren called her here.
After that, He took out the spirit water barrel and started drinking it.

Luna arrived, and Aren also finished drinking as he released < Wind Slash > Towards the blood-red floating orb on top of the python's head.
Luna also arrived and started drinking spirit water.
But right after Aren's < Wind Slash > hit the blood-red orb, It burst like a balloon as the red energy came out violently.
But after a second, That red energy released steam and vaporized in the air.
The python was awakened from its slumber, only to screech loudly for a second before dropping dead.
Aren and Luna stayed petrified when they saw the python opening its eyes because they felt unbearable pressure on them that made their breathing heavier for a few seconds.
The python then slowly started to turn faint and disappeared after a few seconds.

*thud....*
Luna directly sat down and then laid on her back while heavily breathing, " That was damn nerve wreaking. "
Aren also sat down as he took a deep breath and nodded with a wry smile, " Indeed it was. "
While resting, Both of them saw the notification as they leveled up.
Aren-Level: 9 [ 4820/5000 ] Exp.
Luna-Level: 8 [ 1980/3500 ] Exp.
Luna leveled up twice.
But Aren was surprised to see that the required exp to level up from 9 to 10 increased by 1500 exp instead of the usual 500 increments.
' Anyway, I only need 180 exp to level up...Huuu, I can't wait. ' Aren thought excitedly. He knows that something big will happen at level ten because of few things he had noticed.
Both Aren and Luna rested for thirty minutes inside this cold cave before finally standing up.
Luna gave her hand to Aren and spoke with a tired smile, " Let's go out. I really want to have some good sleep now. "
Aren nodded with a similar tired expression as he grabbed her hand, and both of them thought about leaving the wild expanse and disappeared after a second.
