In the last episode, we saw that team Zuki entered the dungeon and reached the second floor. There, they gathered some plants and rocks for latter use and decided to rest. While camping there, Nate decided to look around and found a door, behind which was an intense and mysterious aura. Team Zuki gathered their courage and decided to go through the gate.
They gathered all of their courage and got ready with their weapons to enter from the gate. When they entered together, they suddenly felt the intensity of the aura increasing. After some time, they started to get used to the aura and started to move on. While exploring, they found a small stream of water flowing. They thought of following the river to see where it starts from. They started following the river slowly. They found out that the stream was coming from below the surface. They decided to leave the topic of stream for the time being and start exploring the floor to find out what killed those who went there before them. But they didn't know what was waiting for them. Behind the beauty of the glowing rocks, was lurking the beast of the shadow.
While searching for some clues, they found some marks and some hairs. It was obvious that it wasn't done by a human. Suddenly, a shadow jumps on Greg and tries to attack him. Luckily, he was saved by Drake on time. When they saw what it looked like, they saw a creature that was standing on two legs, had ferocious caws and the mouth of a wolf. He was yellow and his eyes were as red as blood. In those bloody red eyes were small black pupils that were staring at team Zuki. Nate thought, "How could such a beast exist, someone with such eyes and an aura that clearly shows his murderous intent!"
Yes, that's right! The aura that they were sensing since the time they saw the gate was the aura of this monster and now it was so intense that Greg, Ellen, Blade and Nate froze in their places. They were so scared that even moving a finger was difficult for them.
However, Drake was the only one who wasn't frozen at his place. He quickly drew his battle axe and attacked the monster. But, even after a clean hit, the monster was unharmed. It grabbed the battle axe and threw Drake away. However, after seeing Drake's guts, team Zuki recovered from the trauma and joined the fight. Nate took his spear and poked its eyes. Due to this, the monster roared in pain and started to lose his balance. Seeing a chance to attack and an opportunity to take the monster down, Ellen loaded his F-318 Type B and shot the legs of the monster. The monster's legs were paralyzed due to it and it fell down. Greg tried to smash its skull using his batons, but while doing so, the monster sensed him and moved its claws to kill Greg. However, Blade quickly drew his sword and slashed its claws along with its arms. This gave Greg the opportunity to hit it with his batons. But, his skull was so hard that the metallic batons were unable to break through it. But, luckily, Drake arrived on time and helped Greg by smashing his battle axe on its face and together, they killed the monster. This victory, which they earned by their perfect team work, was an important event for the newly established team Zuki as the monster who was the main threat for the explorers was slain by them and they became the first team to encounter the monster and make it out alive. But does their adventures end here? No! Not so soon.
