A swift chop to the exoskeleton of a rge bug e. Veronica's new axe was holding up nicely. She tried to use the duo focus, but her mind still floated around a bit.

  "Veronica, are you alright? You seem a little off." Eleanora asked sweetly.

  Veronica's eyes lingered, studying her body. Nice hips, soft looking thighs and a good butt. The tight pants she wore atuated them out even more.

  "Ver, you're drooling. Did you hit your head?" Cassidy asked.

  "W-What? No, no. I'm fine." Veronica swore, rubbing the back of her head.

  "You're not fine if you 't focus. You o snap out of it, otherwise you, or one of your teammates could die, if not the whole team. If it's something important, you o get it settled now, or put it far bato the recess of your mind. You o pie, right now." Tisha stated coldly.

  'Get it settled, or put it far ba my mind... there's no point in w about my feelings for Cass right now, so I'll try to put it far back. Hopefully.'

  The girls tinued on, Veronica fog as mu the dungeon as possible. Of course, there was the occasional slip, where she would trip over herself, but she quickly regained her focus.

  Everything in their path was going to die, but it also wasn't really worth it. 't learn how to take doerson by killing bugs. Their goal was to explore the sed floor. Tougher monsters, and more specifically, Humanoid monsters.

  The path retty easy, with Veronica's seemingly innate sense of dire when it came to the dungeon. In an instant, they arrived at the floor boss once again. If they were lucky, a group already killed it retly, meaning they'll be able to move to the sed floor without an issue.

  So, the girls did a quick preparation, whicluded some new buff spells that Eleanora had gotten when she leveled up.

  And then they entered, in which they found that they were not lucky. The floor boss spawned. A Hobgoblin once again.

  "I have something I want to try out. I'll need about fifteen seds." Cassidy said, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

  The other three nodded and tried their best to give Cassidy the time she needed. Veronica opened up with a few chops and sshes from her axe, her skill was g, but it kept the Hobgoblin from attag.

  Aviris fnked around to attack, but the Hobgoblin noticed her and swing around, and Aviris turo mist, reappearing below it's line of sight, delivering a quick stab to the abdomen and bag off.

  Eleanora kept up with her buffs and healing, and trying to give quick sshes. Not to kill specifically, but to distract. Her strikes were quid precise, deliberate and smooth.

  "Get back!" Cassidy yelled out, a rge purple magic circle formed underh the Hobgoblin.

  The attackers quickly noticed and disengaged as quick as possible, and stayed away.

  Cassidy's spell was quick, but started small. A small hole in the very fabric of space which gave a slight tug at the air surrounding the group. But for the Hobgoblin, it was struggling to breathe. It tried to swat away the hole, only for it's arm to get sucked in. It panicked and used it's other to try and pull itself out. And got stuck again. The Hobgoblin tried to scream in terror but no sound ever exited it's mouth. And soon, it was pletely sucked away and the hole closed.

  "Well... that was... terrifying..." Cassidy panted, nearly toppling over before Veronica caught her.

  "Cass! Are you okay?" Veronica asked, keeping her friend steady.

  Cassidy looked up towards Veronid gave her a cute, reassuring smile, which caused Veronica to blush.

  "Yeah, I'm fine. Didn't expect it to take that much magic. I should be better in a bit." Cassidy stated, nuzzling into Veronica, making the girl blush even more.

  Sadly, reasure for them. So, straight to the sed floor. Down a set of stairs and a bright shinihey found themselves in the sed floor. A geous woodnd. It was almost like they were outside, but that would be impossible.

  "Beautiful..." The girls said in unison, looking at the trees, seeing the sun shihrough the leaves.

  "Guess it's time to explore." Veronica said, taking the lead.

  And thus, her first steps in the sed floor. And hopefully, they'll get strong enough for that uping tour.
