As the System says that, the fiery silhouette begins to come to our place, and right after, the monsters finally show their form.
" What are those!!!!!? " Yolanda screams again as she sees the monster who finally arrived.

< Danger Level: Tier 3.5 >
" These are... " I said to myself.
" Balors... " Galen says as he explained what he knows about them.
" Balors, the flaming descendants of the Primordial Demonic Monster that is known for its fiery abyss flames... "
" It is said in the legends that these beings are so gluttonous as their appetite for meat and their fire consumes everything they see. " Galen explains while I then decide to attack the Balors.
"( It seems I have the advantage of having someone that knows what enemy they're facing... )" I felt relieved for this, as, in my mind, I immediately know why despite the 66.95% chance of failure, there is still the 33.05% chance for me to succeed.
As I attack the enemy using the Dainsleif Sword, I begin to feel the surge of the Aether energy from is increasing as it wants me to kill the monster using its power.
"( The sword is more bloodthirsty than I thought... )"
"( I didn't know why but I had a guess that the Dainsleif Spirit is a real psychopath, huh... )"
"( No wonder her owner once abandoned her, as she said before back then* ) " as I hold Dainsleif, I begin to use the Aether as I muster its power.

< You Leveled Up >
< Level ... 65 >
" Hmpph..., the leveling progress is getting slower lately... "
" Guess the only option I have to level up is to do things the grinding way, isn't it? " I say to myself as I ask the others to charge whatever water-based ability they have as some of them begin to perform it.
< Water Covering Rain >
< Water Charging Ball >
< Water Charge Arrow >
As they do that, I then tell them to shoot it in my direction and I then immediately use the
As the Water Abilities are shot at me, they then landed on my
" Good!!! " as the water was gathered in the Bullet, I immediately shoot some of the bullets at the big Balors as I immediately launched the bullets to their heads in order to at least blind them for I was not sure that the Balors brain is inside their head which Galen then told me that Balor's had no brain but had a Core as the Core is on their heads which is the target that I tend to strike.
" Ragna, attack the head where the Cores at!!!!!!!!!! " Galen shouts to me while I hear him and strike at the recommended position as I use
*Slash*
As I slashed them, I immediately ripped those Balors of their life and gather the EXP from their carcasses as well as the rewards for killing them which I decide to have later for I didn't want to make an unusual behavior around my group.
"( Their eyes are on me, right now... )"
"( I need to reconsider any movement I should make, for one glimpse of strange movements could make them notice some differences that I have from them. )" I said to myself, despite already unleashing the Aether power in front of them.
As I landed on the ground, the people then begin to cheer me for they also and immediately asked about what ability I just unleashed I told them that it was my Gift that I haven't known the name of yet since I've never met the god that Gifted me.
As I lied about that and give them the shitty reason for someone who get their Gift ability late, they immediately accept that reason for they tell me that they had many friends who were a "Late-Bloomer" and told me that some of them even never met their gods yet which made me felt relieved as I never thought that no one still accepts that basic reason.
"( Guess the Diviners (gods) are too Divine to even their own mortals, huh... )" I comment about the fact as I wonder did the Diviners themselves really cared about us and wondered more if the Diviners are also selective in showing their presence, even to the ones they Gifted with the portion of their power.
As I wondered about that, I immediately sense that there was another monster coming in our direction which not just me who sensed that, Galen also suddenly had a sudden bum on the ground, meaning there was probably a large monster that will come to our location.
When it happened, I wondered which monster would come this time and at that moment I remembered that the monsters (Balors) I'd killed are just the lackeys and there's no Boss in their pack, which means, the Boss from their pack could be.
" Oh s**t!!! " I cursed the situation.
" All of you find cover, hide!!! " I tell the others to hide behind any large obstacles in that place for I can sense that the one who is coming to this section is a large one which I doubt that I can defeat easily as I felt the large shake on the ground.
"( We need to hide for now,.... )"
"( Facing it upwards is not the best plan to fight an enemy we didn't know... )" I said to myself as I use my hands to tell them to keep quiet and at that time, the very monster came, a giant monster as the System scans it to be.
