She had intended to use it after entering the Blood Circersâ habitat, but she couldnât help using it then because they already got attacked.
âDid we misjudge their territory?â
Artis shook his head.
âMaybe, or their habitat might have expanded.â
âMonsters widening their area in Dungeons? That doesnât usually happen.â
âItâs not common for high-level monsters like Blood Circers to appear in a dungeon of this level either, is it?â
Yet they were just attacked by Blood Circers.

Han-bin and his party moved cautiously, covering their appearance with a shadow spell to block their presence and sounds.
Ryu Han-bin and Artis stood at the forefront, and Raondel, who had to be protected, was located in the center. Seira and Effir were positioned at the rear, moving between the shadows of the ruins.
Looking around, Han-bin whispered to Artis.
âWhy did I feel that?â
Suddenly, he could feel the four powers of Latna.
It was a good thing, but it bothered him because it was too sudden.
Artis questioned him in return.
âDid your level go up? Iâm sure you gained quite a bit of experience with Blood Circers.â
âI got about a million XP per monster.â

His total experience points had increased by 30 million XP.
However, with the remaining figure exceeding 54 billion XP, the impact was still minimal.
âIt means thereâs another factor at play.â
âItâs not that I canât make a guess.â
Artis continued talking.
âI told you before, didnât I? If youâre using the four-power of Latna, youâve got basic sensory skills.â
Latnaâs four major powers were Aura, Mana, Prana, and Force.
Those who used Mana were called Mages. Those who used Prana were called Spiritists, and those who used Force became Magic Swordsmen.
But he who used Aura was called not a warrior, but an Aura user.

Warriors were not part of the four-power users of Latna.
But Ryu Han-bin gained a four-power detection abilityâŠâŠ.
âMaybe youâre starting to awaken, too?â
Han-bin was shocked.
âMe? Already?â
Although he had been training his Maxbrid Martial Arts, it had only been a few months.
He naturally thought he still had a long way to go.
But Artis seemed to have a different idea.
âItâs even stranger for me that you still havenât awakened Aura with your overall capability.â

If a person who could lift weights much heavier than their weight couldnât stand on their hands, it was not because they lacked strength but rather because they lacked the skill.
âI think itâs time for you.â
It sounded plausible.
Looking down at his palm, Han-bin glistened in his eyes.
âSo I can use Aura.â

About half an hour later, a large tower appeared over the fog.
It was had a bizarre architectural design.
The main body at the center looked to be about ten stories high. Thorn-like spires rose diagonally on all sides, making it look like a dry, dead giant tree.

Seira addressed the party.
âThat must be the home of the Blood Circers. They probably took Trinlock and Leabelle there.â
Hidden in the shadows, Han-bin and his party continued to approach the tower.
The closer they got to the structure, the more Blood Circers there were.
They were gliding around the tower in pairs, guarding the surrounding area.
But they didnât find Han-bin and his party.
Seiraâs hiding spell was based on shadows, so it worked well in the foggy environment.
Seira murmured mournfully.
âIf I had done this then, we wouldnât have gotten much damageâŠâ

Effir soothed her.
âYou couldnât help it, could you? You didnât know there were monsters like Blood Circers at the time.â
Seira replied solemnly.
âWhy didnât anyone know?â
They had not tried it without consideration.
After getting enough information from the Tyaron Hunter Guild, they had started to attack Loer Dungeon.
âLoer Dungeon isnât new. There was a Hunter team that almost reached its center.â
At that time, Loer Dungeonâs guardian was Vion Tulatu, a four-legged walking monster in the early level 50s.
âIf the Blood Circers were in such a rush, they wouldnât have knownâŠâ
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Artis called their attention.
âLetâs solve the question later and focus only on saving your colleagues for now.â
After reaching the bottom of the tower, they looked for the entrance.
It wasnât that hard to find it.
The tower was in such a bad state that there were holes everywhere.
As they walked inside, the darkness welcomed Han-binâs group.
âI donât know much about the ecology of Blood Circers, butâŠâ
Artis pointed his finger at the top.
âMonsters with wings usually make their nest high up. Letâs go.â

There was a large space at the top of a tower where red cocoons were placed.
What were stuck in a monsters.
Among them were Harpies and Great Orcs, which Han-binâs group had fought against.
Five Blood Circers were sucking on the blood of those within hundreds of cocoons.
âKeelkâŠâŠ.â
âGrrrrâŠâŠ.â
Feeling satisfied, they put their teeth in the flesh of monsters trapped in cocoons and enjoyed dinner.
was no less than a rich buffet for Blood Circers.

But they were interrupted.
Something fell over the head of Blood Circers, which were sucking the blood of Great Orcs.
With a short shout, the glow flashed.
âHuh!â
The sudden surprise scared the Blood Circers out.
The one who was attacked and the other four nervously glared at their opponents.
And soon, they chuckled.
The intruder was only one, a little human girl with silver hair.
On the other hand, they were five and much bigger than the girl.

They seemed to think they were lucky to have such a delicious-looking prey crawling into their hall with her own feet.
With joy, they rushed at the girl, Effir.
âArghhh!â
Two-meter monsters jumped on the little girl, swinging their long fingernails.
Effir dodged as she retreated, avoiding their attacks.
She was soon driven to the corner of the storage.
She smiled.
âDelivery~!â
A gruesome human voice was heard in the shadow.

âGood job.â
At the same time, two arms emerged from the darkness.
They were thick and full of muscles that served as their armor.
With one stroke, both hands grabbed the two Blood Circersâ necks.
âGrrrrr?â
âGrrrrr?â
There was no time for the captured monsters to understand the situation.
The formidable grips crushed their necks.
Crack!

Though it was used to be as thick as a pillar, the monstersâ necks became as thin as a clothesline.
Blood and brain water burst out like a fountain in the seven holes of the Blood Circers.
âArgh!â
It seemed that squeezing toothpaste would produce less content than that.
Two dead monsters dropped onto the floor.
Ryu Han-bin, the owner of both arms, appeared out of the shadows of Seira.
âThree left?â
The rest of the monsters began to come at him instead of Effir.
âGrrrr?â
The source of this content is lightnovelpub[.]com
âGrrrr!â
They positioned themselves at the front, left, and right of him, then charged with their claws out all at the same time.
âArgh!â
They were all blocked by a black greatsword, however.
Without realizing it, Han-binâs eyes shone as he stabbed the Blood Circers in front of him.
Crack!
Blood splashed as his blade pierced through their bodies.
He picked up a monster and hit the other one with it.
It was more like a big hammer than a sword.

The hammer and target were smashed simultaneously.
Bam!
There was a roar, but it didnât leak out.
It was thanks to Seiraâs hiding spell.
âUh, uhhâŠâ
The lone Blood Circer flew up in terror.
Han-bin stopped as he was chasing it, springing up using the floor right away.
âI canât just fly around, can I?â
Ryu Han-binâs leaping power was so formidable that the stone floor broke under him.

If he used it inside a building like that, the vibration would be no joke.
Seiraâs hiding spell could block the sound, but it wouldnât stop the buildingâs vibration.
âItâs annoying to do it quietly. Damn.â
That was why he sent Effir first to lure them away.
He was more confident than anyone in destroying everything by shaking the heavens and the earth, but he had no talent in fighting secretly.
Well, that didnât matter.
âWind control!â
Artis had been preparing in advance and cast wind magic at the fleeing Blood Circer.
The monster, nearly two meters tall, flapped its large wings.

Naturally, it wasnât easy to move properly inside the building.
It immediately lost its balance, and the Blood Circer crashed.
Ryu Han-bin relaxedly approached the monster.
Of course, he took a gentle step in case the floor creaked.
âWell, in any world, noise caused by floors is a problem!â
He gave the monster a light tap.
âWeâve cleared them all.â
Looking back at Seira in the dark, Han-bin said bluntly.
âFind your colleagues.â

While Ryu Han-bin, Artis, and Effir stood guard around them, Seira and Raondel looked nervously at the red cocoons.
Most of them were captured monsters of Dungeon, but some of them were humans.
They were Tyaronâs Hunters caught during the Dungeon Raid.
All were mummified bodies.
âI donât think theyâŠâ
Seira was about to cry due to the thoughts entering her mind.
Raondel suddenly exclaimed in joy.
âI found them! Both are still alive!â

The two hurriedly tore the cocoon and pulled out the Dwarf warrior Trinlock and the Sylph Mage Leabelle.
Seira looked at the duo.
âWhat happened to them?â
Both were in unexpectedly good shape.
They were unconscious and pale, but they looked too healthy for people who had their blood constantly sucked for nearly four days.
âI canât believe it.â
Raondel scolded her.
âIs that the problem now? Heal them!â
After a while, the two groaned and opened their eyes.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
âAhhhhhh⊠Miss Seira?â
âPrince Raondel? How did youâŠâ
Seira quickly explained the situation.
Trinlock and Leabelle sighed in relief.
They thought they must have died.
âMy God, youâre a Valtara warrior?â
âWe were very lucky to meet a blood relative of the Sword King.â
Seira asked as she continued to cast the healing spell.
âHow come youâre both healthy?â

Trinlock answered in a sad voice.
âThey intentionally didnât kill us. They said that fairy blood is a delicacy. So they even fed us and took care of us so we wouldnât die.â
Monsters stopped sucking blood before their captives were killed and carefully cared for them by feeding them the Huntersâ preserved food.
Artis tilted his head.
âThey took care of their prey? Besides, what do you mean delicacy?â
Blood Circers were not intelligent enough to have such a concept.
Trinlock looked around frantically.
âOh, yes!â
Leabelle shouted in horror, too.
âThis is not the time to be doing this! We need to get out of here quickly!â
âThe healing procedure is not over yet.â
Seira pointed to Ryu Han-bin in an attempt to calm the rescued duo.
âSo calm down. We have the Valtara warrior, so even if another Blood Circer appears, he can easily deal with it.â
Two people screamed as if they were frustrated.
âItâs not the Blood Circers!â
âThereâs a Queen here! That monster kept us alive!â
