"Fwetish... Finally...!" Carmen said in relief.
"Yes, my hands are almost curly" replied Anna.
"Thank you all ! For her hard work" Lucia said happily.
"Hehe... It doesn't matter senior, it's our job" Carmen replied.
The inn has been quiet palanggan, the day is getting night. They're closing the service for today. Also, the captains were very satisfied with the food. Almost all the dishes were empty and clean, leaving no food.
"Do you enjoy it ?" Said Ace who suddenly came to the three captains.
"Oh, Ace ! Thanks for the dishes. It's delicious, to the point that my heart wants to stop beating" Zed replied.
"Yes, I didn't think you could really cook" Helos replied in praise.
"Hm... Besides being great at fighting, apparently you're also great at cooking. I'm sure whoever you choose will be very proud of you" Liria said.
"Ahaha... You're this, I'm not that great" Ace tried to dodge.
"Ehem... Ace..!" is...!" Lucia interrupted.
"Eh... Yeah, what's up Lucia ?" Ace with a pale look replied.
"All right, we'll say goodbye first. Thank you, Ace, for the good food" said Liria farewell, and after Zed finished his payment they immediately left the inn. "We go home first, and you'd better make up. If Geralf finds out you're fighting, I think he'll be very disappointed" Zed said.
After the three captains left the inn, the place was completely deserted of customers. Then the servants immediately went to rest, while Lucia and Ace seemed to still want to chat.
"Senior Lucia, we go rest first. All the tenants have rested, and all the dishes have been washed" said Anna and the three employees immediately went to the room in the back.
"Yes, Anna, thank you. Rest you" Reply Lucia. "And Ace... Sorry to suspect you" said Lucia shyly towards Ace.
"Eh, it's okay Lucia. I forgive you" Ace replied.
"Hiks...!" Lucia suddenly hugged Ace who was standing in front of her.
"Anu...?! Lucia, what's wrong with you ?" Reply to Ace and immediately return Lucia's embrace.
"Hm... I don't want to lose you either !" Lucia said as she shed her tears.
"Huh, what do you mean ? I'm not going anywhere" Ace answered and stroked Lucia's head.

At night in Eleanor, the streets of the city look very quiet. Ace returned to his house, in one of the former buildings of a villa on the hill southwest of the city. The building looks unkempt, but inside it looks neat and very comfortable.
"A very tiring day" said Ace and immediately cleaned his body.
After changing into a nightgown, Ace immediately headed for his bedroom. He broke down, and looked at the ceiling.
"Master Geralf, if you were still here. I don't think this kind of thing is gonna happen..." Ace thinks of the problems between himself and Lucia.
Closing his eyes and sleeping in a dream. Ace passed through today very tiringly. He seemed comfortable sleeping on the bed and with his warm blanket.

"Report, captain Zed ! There was a strange state back happening in the 7th level Dungeon. The Guild Office has already confirmed the circumstances, reports based on adventurers returning from the Dungeon and with the circumstances of one of the adventurers being extremely critical" a Royal trooper reported.
"What is true ?! Did the queen know ?" Zed's reply was shocked.
"I don't think so, because this message is specifically for the captains"
Meanwhile, somewhere else, above the guard tower east of the kingdom. Helos received the same message. "Chke... What kind of trouble is this time ?! Can't we just relax for a day" Helos said, upset by the incident.
And in Liria's private room. He also got the same report from one of the royal forces. "Gosh, we've been celebrating. And there's another problem ?" Liria heard the report.
"Prepare yourself immediately. And announce to the other team to prepare. Do not let this news be heard by the queen. I don't want to worry him" Zed said.
"Okay, captain Zed !"
The troops soon left Zed alone. Seemed annoyed at Zed's face, considering the problems in the previous Dungeon that were still just resolved. "Huh... I think I should work with the other adventurers to deal with the problem this time" Zed muttered.
.

Inside the Guild headquarters there was still chaos between the administrators and the adventurers. "Chairman, I think this is resolved. Why does the same mess come up again ?" Said one of the adventurers who looked very shabby.
"Yes ! What exactly is this ?"
"Simmediately solve this problem !!"
"We want to explore like we used to"
Many adventurers commented, due to the appearance of the problem in the 7th level Dungeon this time around. And it looks like a lot of adventurers are coming out with alarming circumstances. As before, many protests were thrown at the Guild.
"I hope you calm down first. We have confirmed your reports, this incident will be dealt with by Royal forces soon. I hope you can be a little more patient" said chairman Miya handling the adventurers' protest.
The crowd of adventurers started to leave the Guild headquarters. The situation in the office was calm again. "Chairman, this is getting worse. What's the matter with the Dungeon this time, Huh ?" Said one of the Guild managers.
"I don't know either, but my gut tells me something bad is going to happen. I hope this doesn't hit Eleanor" Sahut Miya was worried.
"Hm... We better get our tasks done. Let this matter be dealt with by the government forces" replied the administrator.
"Yes, okay. It's getting late, let's quickly finish those documents. Oh, aye... For missions and tasks crossing Dungeons level 7 and above immediately abort" replied Miya added.
"Ok, get checked out, Chief !" Said the manager.
The two of them and a few other Guild administrators immediately headed for their respective rooms. Miya seems to be busy with a pile of papers containing mission requests and tasks that she has to sign. Many managers are busy with their own work.
Eleanor was getting late, the night began to envelop the entire city. Dark shadows form in the corners of the city, and sparkling lights illuminate the streets inside the city.

"Grooaarrr !"
"Rooaarr !"
"Belk !"
Inside the 7th level Dungeon in one of the territories. It looked like an ice lion monster and a fire eagle were facing an adventurer. "Although you guys are rare level 12 monsters, at least I can still utilize you guys ! Haha...!" Said the adventurer in the mysterious robe.
"Shackle Shadow...!"
The adventurer cast two shadows that instantly attacked the two monaters. After the attack hit the two monsters, not long after the two monsters fell silent stiff.
The eyes of the two monsters were empty. They seem to have been overrun by the adventurer. "Haha...For a rare monster as big as you guys, it turns out just like a shell does not contain !" The adventurer pleased him.
"Haha...!"
"Look for me, I'll take this tower for you !" Shouted the mysterious adventurer man.
