"Second form: Shattering moon"
With the multiple crescent slashes striking the Germtalons in front of them, Gretas dashed forward.
"Mince" He shouted as his strike tore deeply through the skins of the monsters as he ran along, giving them fatal blow that made die, the ones that posed a threat were dealt with by Tessa. It was a perfect plan derived by Leon. He as the aggro, Gretas as the main damage dealer, Tessa and him as support.
They were deep into the room which had led them to another cave passage filled with Germtalons, plus they were already encountering level 35~40 Germtalons, which was hard for Leon alone to deal with but with his plan things were much easier.
"It would have been easier if that yellow head was here"
"Don't blame him for your weakness" She replied, gnarling at him, "By the way, how were you able to resist my intimidation"
"You really don't learn, no matter how much you ask, I won't tell you about myself or my profession" Leon replied and continued forward.
"This guy is being a dumb fool, should I just set him up and kill him. That'll probably jeopardise this dungeon raid" she said go herself.
"I think there's something massive beyond that darkness" Gretas said as he stopped, the cave passage still continued deeper but for some reason it was darker than when they were coming.

"...looks like we just met with the daddy of the Germtalons" Leon said.
"Can you see it? since it's dark, we can't see the information...that time too in the water, you were able to see those tiny holes. Which means you have a skill that makes you see in the dark?" Gretas said, belatedly regretting he did.
"...Why are you all so involved in what my skill is?" Leon said and arrogantly proceeded forward. He stood very close to the thick darkness.
~Grruuuuuu~
~Snnuuzzz~.
~Gruuuu~
~Snuuuuuuzzz~
"Is it, sleeping..." He said as he slowly proceeded forth into the darkness.
... ... ...
"You are telling me, your coming here was deliberate?"
"Of course. Don't blame me, I can't trust a Retainer that was hired to keep watch on me. Everything I do is for the growth of the Kingdom and it pains me that no one sees that"
"You didn't say anything"
"I'm tired of speaking without being heard, Retainer. I will make them hear me by force. I will make it so that my opinion will matter"
"Princess Trisha, what are you planning?" Arthur asked, with a care filled gaze.
"You'll find out, just follow me" She said as they walked on.
"By the way. How did you figure out how to enter the cave, it didn't seem like you used the water room"
"What water room. I just kept running forward, there's a door that leads to a tunnel that will eventually bring you here without much trouble" She replied.
"Ah, I see" Arthur replied her. 'I guess hanging out with dumb people has given me a fare share of dumbness too'
After a deep walk into the cave, Arthur began to notice the waters below them, his boots were wet and the water level seems to be rising as they went deeper.
"This Crypt was built connected to the waters that surrounds Ar'Daxia. And it was built by the merfolks"
"Wow, the merfolks?" Arthur was surprised.
"Yes, they had a strong relation with Helena and built this Crypt in honor of her legacy to be passed unto to someone worthy" Trisha stated.
"Does that mean...there's a profession waiting at the end of this dungeon"
"Yes, but that is not what I am here for...Helena was a pirate, she travelled the whole of the continent, some rumours even claim that she went beyond. But one thing is sure, she drew a map of entire continent, a war map, terrains that would benefit ambush, mountain sides that would be advantageous to sides, hidden gold mines and other valuable mines. It is even said that she might have put in it the location of her treasures which her greedy husband died searching for."
"So you are here to obtain this map for your father I guess?" Arthur asked.
"Yes. It is called the blueprint, there was a sad story to it but what I remember was she wrote it with the blood of her dying lover who was a merfolk. Over time the world has fought for it and torn it to half. However, the merfolks have managed to secure a part of it and put it here in honor of her and her lover"
"It looks like it's going to be a very sad story, judging from how her lover wasn't her husband and she wrote a map with the blood of her dying lover. How painful she must have felt, why did she do it, why was it necessary that she wrote a map."
"Retainer, there are some things that we cannot truly understand until we reopen its lost legend." She paused for a moment, the water level had risen to her waist and beneath Arthur's waist.
"We are here" She said as she threw her gaze upon the colossal ship that sat in the cave above the waters ahead of them, its size filled cave and the wood of it gave a wood smell to the atmosphere. Though the ship was in tatters.
"Massive" Arthur was bewildered with what he saw, 'If I haven't seen titanic I would have said it's the biggest ship I've ever seen'
... ... ...
The giant Germtalon sharply opened its eyes as Leon stabbed it.
[You have dealt 312 damages]
The monster rose to it's feet which was far taller than what Leon had anticipated.
~Whooosh!~
~Slash!!~
[You have been hit, 20% of damage hit has been absorbed]
[You have lost 1,677 health points]
[Teftit's top has been torn, Durability has reduced by 57]
Leon was thrown out of the darkness by the slash, he smashed into Gretas and they tumbled together. Tessa couldn't wipe the surprise off her face as she looked at Leon flew past her.
"We are so dead..."
Leon stood up, he examined the three slash marks on his sides, which tore he clothes and he was bleeding from it. He could feel the excruciating pain and sting of it. It made him want to turn of the pain sensitivity of the game, but he had always been an hard-core guy even in real life.
[You have used high grade health potion]
[You have recovered 1000 health points]

The wound on his side healed up. He stared into the darkness with serious eyes.
'I've never seen that expression on him before' Both Gretas and Tessa thought to themselves.
