How long has it been since the beast tide? About two days had passed since we beat the boss, everyone had fully recovered from the fight, and we began to head up to the dungeon. The five of us were on the second floor of the dungeon. Ever since the boss had died, the dungeon stopped spawning any monsters.

We were checking out the situation that might have happened outside. The beast tide had died down to a considerable amount. There was still rumbling however it wasn't as much as before.

"Citrus, what is the situation like?" I asked, confirming how exactly safe it was once we got out.

"The monsters had thinned out, but there are still a lot of monsters out there, and it would be exhausting for us to fight most of them." So there were still many monsters out there, but at the same time, we had to go back and have our materials exchanged; otherwise, what we did in the dungeon would be invalid.

"Citrus, if we went out, do you think you would be able to lead us with the least amount of monsters out there?" If we wanted to leave safely at most, we would need to go in a direction that was the safest.

"Umm, that would depend if the monsters above could communicate with the others. With all the monsters working together, it is hard to tell what could happen." Was there a high-ranking monster controlling them? If so, the forest was too dangerous to be in. Citrus was also not confident that we would come out unscathed.

"Then should we proceed to head out at night? At most, only nocturnal monsters would be out, and I don't think there would be many of them." I gave a pausable idea that we should try since it was still dangerous during the day. We might as well during the night when it is less dangerous.

"Let's leave the conversation at that. We should rest and prepare for the night." Isabelle said as we prepared for camp. Having to set up our sleeping bags, we went in our bags to sleep for the day. After all, we would need all the energy we would get.

After resting for half of a day, it was finally nighttime. The five of us went to the first floor, preparing to leave the dungeon.

"Citrus, how is the situation outside now?" She closed her eyes and observed the surrounding.

"Some of the monsters are asleep. The scary-looking monsters are still awake, hunting for the weaker monsters for a meal." While it was still dangerous, at least the numbers won't be a problem.

"Then lead us out with the lowest and weakest amount of monster there is," Isabelle commanded. Citrus could only nod at her words.

Leaving the cave was the first time we had seen what was outside for the first time in a while. The moon was bright, but my magic wasn't powered up like in the dungeon because there wasn't any sun.

Sneaking around the forest, we followed Citrus since she was the one who knew where to go. Our journey out of the forest was quiet. We could hear the noise of an owl or some bird monster. We had to take many turns just to avoid anything.

The forest was pretty gruesome. There were many corpses of monsters out in the field. We had snagged the monsters that would cost a lot. It was not only monsters that we had found. There were some humans mixed in with the corpse. Some students could be found, and some random adventures.

The four of them had sour faces when they saw the corpse of each human. I was surprisingly calm about it. Maybe the dark part of the internet had numbed me about it. Seeing that I wasn't scared or excited by a corpse was great. My abilities would have been reduced if I had met one and got scared by chance.

Creeping, we encountered our first monster of the night. It was a dark panther. The panther was a rank three monster, and with its type of beast, I bet its specialty was its speed. I've encountered many monsters that were faster than me, and I had to find a way to deal with them.

The monster was looking for an opportunity to strike us. The three of us were waiting for it to strike, seeking a counterattack.

With all of us staring at each other, we are waiting for a slip-up from the opponent. Riley used a monster's corpse and pushed it to the panther, making the first strike.

Seeing the corpse flung to the monster, it sliced the body in half with its claws, leaving a chance to attack. The three used our magic, dishing it out as quickly as possible, trying to finish this fight.

? Our attacks grazed it when the panther dodged. Isabelle had a golden rod stuck on the panther's leg. We had nearly disabled the panther just from that attack.

It growled at us angrily with the damage we had done. It wasn't our fault that the panther had come in to attack us. It would have been fine if it wasn't here to kill us.

Isabelle then created a large cage around the panther. Even if it was fast, the legs of the monster were damaged. Unable to move correctly, it was trapped.

Locked in the cage, we finished it cleanly, with Isabelle making a guillotine inside the cage and chopping its head.

Doing all that, the fight was finished. It was great that the fight wasn't that loud to attract more monsters. Done with the fight, we looted the panther's body and began to move.

On our way out, more monsters appeared. Since we were closer to the outer edge of the forest, the monsters here were weaker. There were more monsters in groups, but we dealt with them efficiently.

Hours had passed since we started to travel, and we had encountered at least fifty of these beasts. We were getting worn out just by the continuous fight. Another half an hour passed, and we were finally out of the forest. It wasn't as dangerous as it seemed, but it was still tiring.

All of us were relieved that we had left the forest. With all of that done, we began to head our way back to town.
