When the dust had settled and nothing else was moving in the room, Clarisse’s eyes narrowed a bit while she stopped and listened. Before after waiting a while she stopped.

[color=#FFF394]“Oh, it’s not that involved, we’re merely meant to clear the first floor boss, which in this case the area considered the ‘first floor’ are these areas that we’ve been clearing. We do not need to clear another three levels that would be quite a tall ask for people who are..brand new. Not to say you couldn’t come back and try it for another job.”[/color] She stated in a bit of a less judgmental phrased way.

[color=#FFF394]“We should be getting pretty close to the boss if that number of enemies was to go by..which I’ll say usually if you run into a lot of monsters on early floors..usually means you’re getting close.”[/color]

She then gave Marcelin a smug look, [color=#FFF394]“What do you think the light infused in my elemental magic has been for? It’s not just to look pretty, magic that causes harm through radiance tends to harm undead more then other kinds, it’s why the skeletons were sizzling earlier, of course ‘holy magic’ could potentially be even more potent.”[/color]

[color=#FFF394]“Naturally, my magic coverage is pretty extensive, but that’s because, let’s face it I’m…much more talented than my  peers back at the academy [b]Ohohohoho[/b].”[/color] She fanned herself a bit as she gave a haughty laugh.

While Macelin looked through the barricades, he’d find that there were some more small looking monster cores near the skeletons that were no longer moving. He could pretty easily collect some of them if he so decided too. There was also what looked sort of like a modest sized really old dark bottle of some sort of alcohol based on the smell, it was labeled in beastial.

[color=#FFF394]“If we’re ready lets get a move on.”[/color]

Kain nodded in agreement and moved over confidently before he opened the door like before using his enhanced strength.

Upon opening the door, yet another hallway was revealed, one which had similar mat flooring, and had a few stone statues depicting soldiers lined on either side periodically.

It was similarly sized but flat and at the end was an even larger ornate wooden door, with bestial talisman written like warnings plastered all over it, it looked like the wooden bar had already been removed from it, thrown off to the side.

But the scene was quickly intense, there was a young adult man with wolf ears and a tail who looked like he was wearing simple dark lacquered scale armor, with leg guards,  a sash, and a plain sack on his back that looked like a backpack. his hair was Shaggy and medium length, dark his eyes an amber, looking more human than beast. It looked like he had dropped a katana on the ground, and he was writhing in pain, the creaking was from his feet hitting the floor boards, which were very bloodied.

The immediate issue was apparent, one of the stone ashigaru statues had impaled him with it’s stone spear, blood trickled out of his mouth, as he looked over to the group. He gasped and winced in pain, not even looking like he could speak, the breathing heavy and ragged.
