After a little discussion among the remaining alive they decided to continue there was a single tunnel that most likely led to the boss of the dungeon.
Everyone was on guard except Fia who was checking her abilities 'hunter's eye activation' Fia's eye turned greenish again.

'There are quite a few, but the skill that interests me the most is archetype fusion.' Fia decided to analyze that ability and an extremely long description of about forty thousand words came out, scaring Fia quite a bit, luckily there was a summary.
[Ability name: Archetype Fusion
Rarity: A+
Full description: click to read
Summary: Ability that allows the user to merge with their archetype but also to merge their archetypes (be careful after the fusion the fused archetypes cannot be recovered.)
It also allows the user to join and take on the skills.
The ability also allows you to see the bond with the archetype.]
The thing that jumped out the most was the bond, even though archetypes are material beings you can interact with, bond actually means the experience in battle with your archetype.
The path was smooth and without obstacles, but there was a problem.
"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..." Some people panted, almost all of them were tired and were proceeding interrupted. The captain fixed his brown hair and at that moment Fia noticed something, the captain had a receding hairline.
Seeing the receding hairline of the captain Fia tried to hold back my laughter out of respect since he was superior to him.
Normally a person might think that the title of captain is not that great but in reality the title is extremely important. This is because the GAOHAM abbreviated title of "Global association of hunter and mage" has established that the title of captain can only be obtained after ten years of service, proving oneself prepared and also accumulating merits such as finishing dungeons, and the captain actually did it.
Noticing Fia who was laughing slightly but wanted to hold back the captain capi who had seen her receding hairline, he laughed lightly 'wait and see, as soon as I find a flaw in you I'll burst out laughing' he thought looking sideways at Fia.
After a couple of minutes they started walking again.
The darkness began to eat the light of the various crystals that were gradually decreasing.
'Another demon? I don't think so' Fia thought, the situation reminded her of when she and the gorilla were continuing on their way after the climb and encountered a demon.
The captain looked at Fia from behind, her black hair was imperceptible if it weren't for the magic flame, it blended in perfectly with the darkness, it looked like a shadow walking in the darkness. The captain opened his mouth a little, he wanted to say something but then he stopped. 'Something has changed, even in Maxwell' He thought seeing those two.
The captain as their supervisor was very worried and the possibility that their relationship had improved pleased him, but he knew it was impossible.
Tik. Tik. Tik. Tik
The sound of a drop falling suddenly resounded, some jumped in fear and drew their weapons.
"A stalagmite? Or are they stalactites" said Fia, she approached the wall where the noise seemed to come from but nothing. From her item box she took out the magic staff and with the wooden part she started to tap on the walls.
Despite the repeated taps on the wall nothing resonated, 'could it be that we are imagining everything?' Fia thought of the negative result, and gave the signal to continue.
'Something doesn't add up' thought Maxwell with a completely sketched brain, he may not have a brain but he has the experience of an adventurer, he had never heard of a source of Aqua in a closed dungeon, something didn't add up, yet in the air there was a slight humidity which Fia was the first to notice.
They continued walking with some doubts in their heads, what if that noise wasn't random? What if there was something there? What if it was our imagination?
These were the questions that floated in the heads of some, but the rest didn't give it much weight, they thought it was simple humidity that becomes a drop.
With one step at a time the noise of the drop became louder and apparently faster.
Some began to tremble with fear, Fia instead was on high guard, it was not known if an enemy attack could arrive, the situation stank too much for her, something was wrong for her at that moment.
Continuing they arrived at a huge stone door, the door was about fifty meters high and twenty meters wide, the rock was extremely smooth, it seemed hand-worked.
Next to the door they found the cause of the noise of the water, a huge puddle, underneath you could see several crystal lights, a breathtaking sight was visible under the water of that huge puddle.
'I don't know why but the situation stinks to me it seems like a situation I've already read in a novel.' Fia sighed slightly and sat on a small rock, now they had to find a way to make the door appear and get to the boss and finish the dungeon.
Everyone was relaxed, some even filled their leather canteens to cool off, the water was clear and felt very fresh.
'I don't get it, I don't get it, damn it, what is this unpleasant feeling situation? Why does my survival instinct react like this, mhhhhh' Fia thought, looking at the huge puddle and the lights of the crystals.
Suddenly Fia's hands flew open and she shouted: "Everyone in your places! Draw your weapons!"
Everyone present drew their weapons and a monster came out of the huge puddle.
