"We'll hit them like before," Bloom simply said before turning his gaze and swords towards the monsters. "Boys, create some noise," he laughed while he and his clones moved to hit the monsters.

During the three minutes his clones lived, all the monsters were stunned already, and all were sent flying everywhere creating a bizarre scene to watch even for his team.

"Do you record this?" Jeffrey whispered to one of his teammates.

"Me and a couple others have been recording since the beginning," the player whispered back.

"Good," he nodded before turning to the nearby Nara who heard their talk and nodded back.

She didn't intend to let Bloom have a moment of rest without tracking him. With each fight, with each passing second with this monster, her feeling of doubt only got rooted deeper.

She decided to give these recordings to a team of specialists she trusted, and she was pretty confident she would gain results about how he became such a monster despite playing the same game.

As for Bloom, he didn't realize he was watched this closely by Nara. If he knew he might laugh, or perhaps be more cautious.

The fight seemed much easier than the previous ones, yet in fact it turned out to be a disaster later on. The players in his team got so intoxicated with their recent victory that they forgot the horror of the monsters' supreme skill.

That led to nearly wiping out the team. If not for Bloom's extraordinary performance, dealing with many monsters on his own, the entire team might have been wiped out.

In the end, out of the original fifty players, only less than dozens remained alive.

Luckily three girls with reviving skills remained intact, or Bloom couldn't continue clearing this dungeon with such low numbers indeed.

"This can't be tolerated," after ten minutes of reviving players, he stood in front of the deeply ashamed ones and started to shout in anger. "Do you think of yourself as a special player? Fifty killed three hundred and continued to clear the dungeon?"

He was really mad at them, and the nearby Nara and Jeffrey had their faces darkened; couldn't say a single word to defend their team.

They both knew such a beginner's mistake would have cost them everything. So they stood silently on the side, heard all the angry words Bloom flooded the team with before ending his rant with saying:

"You all will be deprived from any loot from this dungeon," he declared before adding when he noticed the discontented look of some, "and if you didn't improve your attitude in the next dungeons, I swear you won't get a single loot from the next dungeon and the next one until I get satisfied with you."

He turned then to Nara before adding in a loud tone, "if they didn't comply, you'll need to find us a new team that can have some aspiration and abilities to rely upon."

She got scared there for a moment before hurriedly nodding. The next thing happened was for her and Jeffrey to explode on the faces of those players.

After all she was their real boss, and she knew how valuable being with Bloom was.

Her players stood silently hearing all these rants from her and Jeffrey and they couldn't speak. they weren't newbies, and such a mistake was something they knew deep down their souls that it was their fault.

As most players here were revived, they had their stamina full. So, Bloom didn't give them time to rest or reflect on their mistakes. He instantly led them towards the fifth room, and there it appeared how nervous and angry they were.

Yet they did much better than when they were relaxed and happy. Bloom inwardly sighed as he muttered to himself. "Dealing with humans is really troublesome. Their mindset is very bizarre, sigh."

He initially thought that the previous crushing victory will give them more strength to clear this dungeon fast. Yet he was mistaken, and now he had to ditch the fast clearing strategy and focus on another counter strategy.

"How is Horn doing?"

They were now resting in the seventh hall after clearing it.

"He is already on his way here," Nara said before adding, "he bought many high potions, and frankly I don't think we might need them."

Bloom totally disagreed with her, yet he didn't express that. "How about our good friends out there?" he asked.

"They are still… still," she smiled while adding, "I think they won't attack us."

"They will," Bloom stressed.

"But if they planned to do so, then they should have gathered more players…" she paused before adding, "or are they this confident in their numbers to kill us?"

Bloom simply smiled before waving to Jeffrey to come. Jeffrey was checking on everyone like a commander checking on his soldiers after a tough battle.

"Can you spread your spies outside to take a patrol?" Bloom asked.

Jeffrey exchanged glances with Nara before replying, "we are in a very high region, so wandering alone might not be the best thing."

"Won't reinforcements come from the direction of the town?" Nara had a sudden realization as she asked.

"What reinforcements?" Jeffrey asked in doubt.

"They won't take the normal route," Bloom sighed, "it seems our two little friends out there are smart enough to realize we are watching the dungeon outside the area. So…"

He paused and didn't need to continue, while Jeffrey started to get insights of what was happening here. "I'll go to make them check the area," he said.

"Make them check if there are teams leveling up around here," Nara stopped him before adding when she noticed the weird glance of Jeffrey, "we are in such a high leveling area that should have no one. Remember? We came here and the area looked desolate."

The eyes of Jeffrey shone as he nodded before hurrying to relay the orders to his spies.

"Covering themselves up like leveling teams is nice,"Bloom said before commending, "but discovering this is much more brilliant than the idea itself."

The face of Nara blush before she looked away. "Stop it."

"What?" he laughed.

"Stop looking at me this way."

"What way?"

"You know, like admiring me or something."

Bloom glanced for long at her before saying, "you deserve praise when you do something right, right?"

"Ahem," she cleared her throat before turning to him with a strange sad look over her face, "I never was praised for doing something good, even in my life."

An awkward moment of silence befell on them both before Nara excused herself to check on others, doing Jeffrey's job as a sort of distraction and escape.

"Poor you," and Bloom muttered to himself while watching her actions.
