Bell POV

"100 valis says you can't hit that imp in the eye with an arrow," Welf said pointing to the imp on the roof.

"Lili make sure he pays up," I say as I pull my bowstring back. The mana arrow appeared out of thin air in an instant. I aimed at the imp and waited. I steadied my breathing feeling the world slow down around me. Then loosed the arrow hitting the imp right in the eye. The imp fell down to the floor right in front of us. I then quickly spun on my heel and shot another imp in the eye that was directly behind Lili about to kill her.

I then looked to Welf a smug smile on my face. "I expect 200 now" I joked as I made sure Lili was alright. "Show off" Welf grumbled. It was just the three of us and Regis today as Aisha, Lena, and Haruhime decided to stay back at the pharmacy to help run it as the expansions were done.

"Hey, you made the bet don't be pissed because you lost" I joked as Lili carved the magic stones out of the imps. "Should've known not to challenge the little rookie" Regis teased making fun of my alias.

"I hate that name so much" I groaned. Welf and Lili laughed before we decided to call it a day and started ascending to the 9th floor.

"I think we made a pretty good haul with just the three of us," Lili said feeling the weight of the pouch in her bag. "Probably we did kill a lot of monsters" Welf replied.

"So Lili how ya liking being in our party," Regis asked. "Lili likes being in this party even though the dungeon doesn't like to play nice with master Bell"

"Did I tell you two about the first time I came into the dungeon?" I said starting my story before hearing a sound that made my blood run cold.

Roarrrrr

Quickly turning around I pushed Welf out of the way of a sword that hit the ground right where he was standing. Had I not pushed him when I did Welf would've split in two.

Aisha POV

"Hmm looks like the Astraea familia is going on an expedition," Miach said as he saw the familia walk by our window in their dungeon gear. "Already wasn't their last one a few weeks ago?" Nazha asked.

"Could be one for training. We did it a bunch during our time in the Ishtar familia" I said stacking a shelf.

"Oh yeah, I never liked those. Always had to stay in the dungeon for long periods of time was so not fun" Lena said as she cleaned the counter.

"I hope everyone is alright down there" Haruhime added referring to Bell and the others.

"I'm sure they're fine. Bell knows how to take care of himself and he'd be damned if he let those two die. Besides Regis is with him" Miach said easing our worries.

"I swear trouble always seems to find those two" Nazha added flipping the closed sign to open.

Bell POV

I quickly unsheathed my knife and blocked the side slash of the red Minotaurs sword. The force was strong but I held.

"WELF GRAB LILI AND RUN REGIS MAKE SURE THEY GET OUT SAFE I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU" I shouted before kicking the Minotaur's knee. The blow caused it to buckle which gave me the leverage to push it back.

Welf didn't even question me. He grabbed Lili who had frozen in fear and started to run. But not before wishing me good luck and swearing to come back with help.

The Minotaur let out another roar as it regained its footing. I snapped my fingers sending a stream of fire and lighting directly into its face. The monster was stunned. Taking this opportunity I ran forward. The Minotaur predicted this and quickly swung his sword.
