New team (4)

We continued on further into the dungeon after taking down the area boss.

But this time, it almost seemed like a competition between Long Shui Ling and Claire as they competed on how many monsters they could kill.

Both of them were strong, so they didn't need our help at all to kill these bat monsters.

I might have been worried about Claire, but it seemed that she had also grown stronger during our break.

She had been working hard while I was away, working hard to make herself stronger.

But it wasn't just her alone that was getting stronger, the rest of them had also gotten stronger.

Even though we were in the dungeon, they all looked relaxed.

They were no longer tense like when we had dived into dungeons together. They were no longer affected by the trauma of their first time in the dungeon, so they were much stronger for it.
