The two of us immediately stood out of the room, after leaving, we were in another room that was rather dark and creepy. After entering, inside I saw an opportunity to have a one-on-one chat with Vera.

"Hmrmhm .... so Vera .." as I said softly.

"What's wrong ???" asked Vera repied.

"No its's just what were you and Carlos talked about earlier ."

"We're not just talking about this dungeon that's all." Vera replied.

"I see !!" I replied with a little irritation, but I still endured it.

Suddenly, as lightning struck she immediately asked.

"So how does it feel?"

"How does it feel ....  what do you mean by that?" I asked.

"How does it feel to know that I'm dead !!!" replied Vera in a terrible tone.

I was shocked by her words, I did not expect that she would find out about this soon. I started to ask in my brain, "Did she was just testing me when I startled earlier?".

"What do you mean ....?", I asked calmly.

"Isn't it obvious, how does it feel not to feel the life energy from me at all?"

"Life energy ....." I replied even more confused.

"Geez, it's still evasive huh ......" as she deactivated her Drone Camera Stealth Mode which had been watching me earlier.

"Damn !!!!" I blasphemed in my mind.

"You seem to have grown up, Rook !! I'm just surprised you can live up to now."

"What do you mean ???" I asked confused.

Actually at this moment there were several possibilities of her doing something like this. First, she already knew my movements and it was clear that she did work for the chairman Rakesh. Second, she wanted to destroy me because she didn't want to see me, this loser again. The third is, sshe wanted to bully me like what Zoa did to me.

Even so, I still think positively that she is just making it up but even so, I think more of the third option because I think it makes no sense if my movements are caught this fast, after all I haven't made any strange movements since earlier.

"Come on Rook !! Didn't you trap me here from the start so I could be alone with me fufufu." as she replied with a giggle.

"Haahh !!!!!" I shouted in surprise.

"I'm just kidding Rook !! I just want to prank you." Shouted Vera as she turned around.

"I'm saved ... !!" as I was relieved, I almost got caught earlier, even though the plan I wanted to do has not been implemented.

"But Rook, it looks like you really want to talk to me from the style of your talk earlier." asked Vera while looking around the room.

"Yes !!! it's about Carlos actually." I replied while changing the conversation.

"What's wrong with him? Haven't you been make peace since you graduated from junior high?" .

"Yes! I want to know his situation while in the 11th Division"

"I see, okay I'll tell you Rook."

While we were chatting, there was and odd feeling around us, the bad atmosphere was ready to ambush us both. I immediately deepened my Wide Senses so I could detect them even deeper.

It was at that time that both of us also heard a thump and it turned out that the sound came from the footsteps that were heard at the end of the corridor behind us. From the darkness something appeared and it turned out to be the side boss of this dungeon.

[A Boss has been appeared, Boss Name: Crocman]

[Boss Classification: Lizardman Chieftain]

Shouts Vera's Drone Camera classifying the monster.

"Buzz-B !!!! is he the boss of this room?" shouted Vera at her drone cam.

"AI type, huh Ver?" I asked Vera.

"Yes, my Dc * is rather expensive." Vera replied while showing off as usual.

"Geez !! Seriously at this point you can still show off .... haaahhh !!" I replied to Vera while slashing several Lizardman who appeared.

"Yep! Of course !!" she shouted as she chopped the Lizardman along with her.

The two of us immediately slashed the Lizardman with great exclamation, because it was so exciting that we started to finish them off happily and it seemed like Crocman was still silent while folding his arms as if ...

"Wait Ver .... !!!" I shouted loudly.

" Why !! ??" she asked.

"Why has this Boss been silent all this time? Is he up to something?" I asked, pointing at the Crocman.

I began to ask questions, about the situation I was in right now. I felt that the best thing to do right now was to run away, it was very rational because when I looked at the whole room, I saw a lot of cracks everywhere.

Which means that he actually ordered his troops to stomp his feet hard while attacking us so that the floor we are standing on collapses.

"Vera !!! let's run away from here !!!"

"Why !!? Even though we haven't fought the Boss yet"

"Look at the floor below us !!" I shouted, pointing at the floor.

Vera also looked at the floor and it seemed like she understood the current situation.

"Geez, you sneaky lizard !!" shouted Vera irritated.

Me and Vera immediately ran upstairs and luckily the floor led us towards the outside. Vera, who wanted to ease the situation, immediately destroyed the floor below so that the Lizardmen fell.

"Crushing Red !!!!" shouted Vera while releasing her skill which quickly damaged the floor below causing the Lizardmen to fall.

Meanwhile, Crocman is still standing at the end of the corridor smiling at us with a terrible look as if he can still follow us or something.

(On the other hand, at Carlos's place)

Carlos also began to find a way out, he and his friends began to open a way out of the room that led to the Dungeon balcony and it seemed that the weather there was also not supportive.

"It's going to rain isn't it !!" said Carlos, while looking at the clouds.

"I hope Vera and Rook are fine"

"Well !! I hope Vera .... are fine" muttered Carlos who replied while thought about Vera's condition first.
