Aquarius and the other wolves met with Freya at an intersection. The rooms after spreading all converged into this hall that led to a gold-red door. Freya sighed, "You four stay here and keep sight for strange stuff. I will go in and grab Bob for the final door, don't go in without us!"
Only Darius nodded, and the other just stared blankly. Freya narrowed her eyes, and she turned around then quickly turned back, stunned to find Aquarius already standing by the door, gnawing on the knob as he tried to get it to open, "What the fuck? I said wait, you idiots!"
Freya wanted to tie them up and hang them somewhere, but she crossed her arms and frowned as she decided to sit and think for once, "if I let them inside, they could either get killed or weaken it before I get back with Bob. I could stay here and wait with them, after all, Bob is not a child."
He was her boss, and she was not obliged to baby him. Freya's frown deepened as she turned to the door, then snapped her fingers, her blades shooting out of her dress and forming a ring around her. As they spun, she sighed, "Sadly, there is no way I am going to sit here and wait for him."
Freya decided to have the wolves learn the hard way while she went looking for Bob. She would rather have those wolves get taught a lesson than Bob wasting another second roaming around this prison in circles, "Besides, I can do this in a few minutes if I am fast enough."
As far as they wolves don't run into a monster over Level 200 — extremely rare occurrence — it would be okay. After all, a few broken bones and wounds here and there, maybe a shattered skull or two — depending on how fast they heal — won't hurt much. Heh.

"Levelling up is getting harder than before…" Bob frowned as he left the destroyed golem, taking a step through the golden gates and pocketing his hands. Bob stood in the next room, and sighed, he stood face to face with Freya and she had a stunned expression on her face.
"It's tougher for us than you. I don't think I'll ever reach my requirement with these monsters." A calm gleam settled in Freya's gaze as she relaxed, withdrawing her blades, and staring at the daggers hovering around Bob, "Are you mimicking my fighting style?"
"I wonder." Bob gave her a vague reply, and her confusion did not bother him. He removed both his hands from his tattered pockets, glancing around carefully, "You are the only one? So, I guess this dungeon somehow connected your room to mine— I must be going in circle then."
"That's not it. The paths join in a room further ahead, and I think it's a boss." Freya replied Bob's deduction then turned around as he followed, her hands held behind her back, "I had the wolves go in first to probe, but you can leave this one to me. We need to hurry up, right?"
"With that thing running around, yes. I am quite suspicious it hasn't showed up yet, so I wonder what it must be planning." Bob held his chin and lowered his gaze. He was so engrossed in thinking that he walked into Freya's back, staggering backwards, "Is there an issue? Isn't that Darius?"
"These bastards." Freya glanced, and everyone except Aquarius was present. They sat like good guys, but she'd not expected them to let Aquarius inside alone! Freya smacked her face, "Bob, I am sorry for this. I'll deal with this issue now, but please — discipline your pets!"
'Not everyone here is my pet though, ahem!' Bob wore a stern expression on his face, glaring at the wolves as Freya walked forward to open the door, "I will make sure to discipline them to the best of my capability! But, wait Freya — that dungeon, I feel an ominous aura from it."

"I guess it's because you're under levelled. Nothing to worry about." Freya opened the door and a fierce wind gushed out from within, causing her to frown and Bob to lift his hand to shield himself, but Freya stepped in unperturbed, "We'll crush this area, no problem."
'From Area 7 to 15?' Bob held his chin with a cold frown on his face, and he thought back to the last time they fought a boss, 'Leslie had stolen the limelight, and Freya did not get to do anything — even though she could — but now, it was six of them against an even stronger enemy!'
Bob stepped forward, but the ominous feeling imposing upon him was overbearing! He held his ground and continued marching forward, stepping through the doors with the wolves then slamming it shut behind him. Bob glanced around in the room, and his pupils narrowed.
Aquarius lay on the ground, motionless, a trail of blood drawn across the ground. Bob frowned a second later as he turned to stare at their enemy, and his pupils narrowed further. It was humanoid, like the goblins and golem, and it towered over dozens of metres tall — holding a massive claymore.

"Oh shit!" Bob cursed, turning to Freya who'd entered a battle stance, and he acted quickly, "That thing is from the same cult as the one that attacked us with those shadow bombs! Be careful, it might be as strong or even stronger! I'll back you up!"
Just as Bob prepared to use a few skills to taunt the monster, he caught a light out of the corner of his eyes, and before he could access the situation, a paw slammed into his sides and he was sent flying in the air, crashing into a wall. Bob slid to the ground stunned, "I see, these fools."

"Bob!" Freya turned to Bob, then to Jacquelyn who stood with a cold gleam in its eyes. Freya was confused and her confusion turned into rage as Darius leapt forward and joined Jacquelyn, slapping Bob across the room with his paw, "Impossible! Pets are undoubtedly loyal to their masters! How—"
The ground began to rumble as the eyes of the giant flung open — a gleaming red — and waves of energy pulsed, ripping the ground around it to shreds. It stepped forward, fixating its gaze on the worried Freya, completely ignoring everyone else.

"Freya, focus on dealing with that monster without me." Bob grinned, summoning his daggers as he entered a battle stance. His grin grew, and a cold gleam appeared in his eyes, 'So this was why the two of them refused to be petted. Fools, I will remind you of how pathetic you really are.'
