As Prince Elijah surveyed the boss room with Leonard, he asked the escort knight, "Where is my cousin?" Leonard said in response to the tenth prince, "I don't kno-!"
Before he could answer, he saw Heracles's message using the blood he spilled in the battlefield. "It seems like he went ahead of us! Let's follow after his lead! I am sure that he will leave some kind of trace in his path. After all, Blood Overseer skill will surely leave everything in its path full of lifeless corpses!" Leonard said in response.
Without a moment of hesitation, the two entered the portal toward the fourth floor without a moment of hesitation. "Are you not going to follow after my cousin? Wouldn't he be too tired if fighting all those monsters?" Prince Elijah asked Leonard with a worried expression.
Leonard said in response, "The young prince specifically asked us to let him do the rest by himself. I don't think he would like for us to come and make it easier for him. I think this would be best for him. After all, the two of you got sent here to train yourselves."
Upon hearing him, Prince Leonard decided not to refute him any longer. Instead, he decided to just enjoy the walk as they follow after Heracles' path.
Before they knew it, the sun was about to say its goodbye to the world. They decided to rush toward Heracles's side, so that they could let him rest as they guard for the night. Before the sun completely went down, they were able to find the door to the boss room.
"It seems like my cousin already entered the boss room. Shall we enter it as well?" asked Prince Elijah as he looked toward Leonard. In response to his question, Leonard said to the tenth prince, "Yes, let us enter, Prince. We just need not to interfere if the battle is still on-going."
To their surprise, they saw Heracles cooking meat at the center of the boss room. With a shocked expression, Prince Elijah asked him, "D-did you finish the floor boss and its minions that quickly?"
"Oh! The two of you are finally here! Yeah! I finished them half an hour ago! I was bored waiting for the two of you, so I decided to cook the floor boss!" said Heracles with a smile.
"This huge boar was the floor boss!?" Prince Elijah could only say in shock. "Yeah! It is a lot weaker than the third floor's boss for some reason!" said Heracles in response.
When he heard him, Leonard explained to the two princes, "Well, sometimes, the power level of the floor bosses differ from one another. Although it may be common knowledge that the higher the floor number is, the stronger the floor boss, it was really different from the truth."
"There's no use thinking so hard about this. Let us just eat and I will sleep as soon as I could! I want to finish the fifth floor as soon as I could! If my guess is right, the faster I finish the quest, it is more likely for my system to grant me stronger tier skills!" said Heracles with excitement in his eyes.
"Speaking of clearing things faster, did you get anything from your system when you finished the fourth floor that fast?" asked Prince Elijah.
As he ate his meat, Heracles said in response to his cousin's inquiry, "Oh, yeah! I forgot about that matter! It sent a notification about me receiving a Legendary-tier skill. Let me check it! System, show me my status board at once!"

"Fire Dragon Quintessence? Is that like my Thunder Physique skill and Radiant Armor skill? Well, I am going to try it after finishing my current special mission!" Heracles said to himself after seeing his new skill.
"You didn't know about Fire Dragon Quintessence skill, cousin? Isn't that for blacksmith such as yourself?" asked Prince Elijah when he heard him. "What do you mean that it is for blacksmith, cousin?" Heracles could only ask with a confused expression.
"Are you familiar with weapon enchanting?" asked Prince Elijah in return. "I heard about it from my master, but he just said to them that I will learn about it eventually!" said Heracles in response.
"Well, without a skill, you will be unable to pull that off, after all. As for your skill, you can use it to enchant the weapons you forged! Naturally, it would be given fire attributes!" said Prince Elijah with a smile.
"You really like reading, cousin! Aren't you a Sword God system user? Where do you read these stuffs?" Heracles could only say with face full of awe. With a smile on his face, Prince Elijah said to his cousin, "Well, as a prince of our great domain, it is our duty to obtain every knowledge that we could, so that we could contribute many things to our subjects! As for the book about enchantments, I will send it to you when we get back!"
"That's a promise, okay?" said Heracles in response to his cousin.
After eating their fill, Heracles's companions decided to set up their camp. As soon as they finished, Leonard came toward the young prince to call him. He said, "Prince Heracles, we finished setting up the cam-!"
To his surprise, Heracles was already sleeping when he saw him. "He must be really tired! Well, I am not going to bother him! He had such a long day!" said Leonard as he picked the young prince to transfer him to their tent.
