After full recovery, Yunan decided to take a break, he still had time before the promised date; a month and a half were enough to map out the 25th floor or even break through it.Planning for a week of pampering and self indulgence and having 5 fairies swooning over him did some bad things for Yunan"s idea of relaxation, honestly, being treated like you can do no wrong by the fairer s.e.x was a corrupting thought to have let alone live such a life. Alas that plan did not really come to fruition as Reina and Lili has come by asking for Yunan to help them climb their way down the dungeon, simply because the groups they were part of were either too slow, too stuck up or completely insensitive.
Feeling the headache coming Yunan told them to wait for a good floor and he could transport them there in his home and they could work hard there. Spiders and rhinos were a bit too much for the girls, and rats and bats are out of consideration. Well, since both Lili and Reina did not relent in getting him to help them level up, Yunan accepted reluctantly to take the girls with him into the 25th floor.
After arriving at the 25th floor Yunan was amazed at the scene; he found himself fighting all his impulses to indulge in. he brought out the girls from the portable home and the highest pitched squeals were released into the floor. Yes, it was the legendary fluffy fuzzy cutest monster exhibition, if it was cute, fluffy and fuzzy it was present in this floor, probably an apology from Hephaestus for the last 4 floors.
Felines, ponies, unicorns, and more were in abundance in this place, one could literally die from being smothered in cuteness, and after enduring the last 4 floors, it was a very appealing death. The cute and fluffy monsters were very playful and peaceful, they would not attack even if attacked, they would just guilt you into tears by looking hurt; if they see you attack; with tears filling their eyes and sad looks on their faces. They would still play with you if you call, but the sadness will not go away.
As for the only threat, it was the only non cute thing in the whole floor, hornets, those gigantified death dealing insects would basically manage the cuteness level of the floor, where which monster shows up and how many in each location, and they hated their fluffy monsters being touched by adventurers, so they would become aggressive on sight and start killing both adventurers and the traitors playing with them. And just like all h.o.r.ents, where there is one, the whole nest was close behind, thus upon agression, one gets a hive of the gigantic things asking for their deaths.
As to be expected from some folk waltzing in blind, the party dove into the sea of cuteness and did not care about anything else, well not until they were awakened by the the buzzing sound of hornets wings, hundreds of them flew at the party and the clash started with the unfortunate deaths of cute beings, the emotional trauma was enough to drive the girls to tears and rage as they saw their cute friends being attacked with reckless abandon.
Ophelia did her best to heal, Lili just charged in blindly followed by Lina and Nina, while Reina took her bow and rained arrows from afar, Yunan played the role of brace for the team and jumped around to where he was needed, the fight ended quickly with the party only having minor wounds, however they all had unanimously agreed on their next mission, hunt the hornets into extinction while cuddling as many cute monsters along the way as possible.
Yunan identified the location of the next hive and led the way there, the plan was simple, seek and destroy, ruthless and efficient, it did not take long before there was not a single hive within 500 kilometers radius from the entrance, the only major gains this period were that the floor was mapped faster and the girls were not hugging Yunan to sleep every night.
During their month long travel in the 25th floor they did not find a boss figure, making the party feel anxious, could it be a free roaming boss? Either way it was a good bit of Training for our party, Yunan especially, since it was rare for him to work with others, it was a bit harder for him to choose actions based on what the others are doing. It was second nature when it came to Reina and Lili since they knew each other too well, but with the newest additions it was a challenge to accommodate the fighting style of the three girls who has joined him for the first time in battle.
Yunan had a very strange idea after finding other groups who roamed the place aimlessly before just leaving the floor to the next one. Maybe the boss would only show itself after a certain number of hornets and hives were destroyed in a certain period of time, therefore he left the girls to play with the cute monsters and went deeper into the floor trying his luck at finding and killing as many hornets as possible.
The next week was spent hunting down all hives within striking distance, with 230% attribute buff, Yunan was killing hornets with one swing and destroying hives within 5, and exactly as Yunan expected, the boss required the death of hornets and the destruction of their hives. The boss drilled from the underground it was a giant hornet queen with a hive as its lower body, it was 100 meters in length, 5 times as big as the ordinary hornets on the floor. Its appearance caused quite the stir on the floor and many groups ran for it to get the kill, but none of them could run as fast as Yunan, he was operating on more than twice the attributes compared to the others.
When the adventurer parties arrived they found Yunan already buzzing around it, making it attack in such a frenzy that none dared to be the first to rush and steal the kill. Yunan"s strategy was simple ground the boss and then just bombard it with large area spells. So he first went for the legs then it"s 4 wings, once the boss was grounded, it could not even roll around so Yunan decapitated it as fast as he could when he saw his audience getting ready to help him with the kill.
