Run the half-wolf man with his big axe. He jumped at the ice lion. "Captain, watch out ! Hyaa...!" He shouted while warning Helos.
"Ugh...! Okay..." Helos immediately released his sword and jumped dodging.
The half-wolf man slashed his huge axe at the head of the lion. Look at the man with the axe. The ice lion suddenly threw away the sword it bit, and then made an ice shield in front of it.
"Braaakk !"
"Klaaank !"
The big axe of the half-frequent man hit the ice shield hard. However, it did not produce a serious impact on the ice shield. "Oh my God, I'm so big about this shield...!" Said the man grumbling.
"Huf, the lion is indeed strong. But why is it so strong ?! This cannot be allowed, if it continues like this then the balance in all Dungeons will be chaotic..." Sahut the witch who looks upset.
"See, this lion is too strong. Only a magic attack can defeat him..." Helos said annoyedly.
"Captain, we will attack him once again. And for the other adventurers, quickly attack when he weakens..."
Before the female finished her words, the half-wolf man had been blown away by the ice lion attack.
"Nummer...!"
"Rooaarr !"
And at once the ice lion roared and stomped its front legs to the altar floor. In an instant the altar floor shook violently, and a huge crack appeared accompanied by ice spikes emerging from within the ground. The wave charged towards the adventurers quickly.
Due to the shock, many of the adventurers were unable to dodge the wave of the attack. "Damn, it was an ice quake ! Great technique, good for leveling the enemy in one attack...!" Said Helos, who was also hit by the attack.
"Aaggh...!"
"Uggh !"
"Chk, can we just wait for help !? Before that comes, maybe we won't survive..." Said the half-wolf man who was injured in several parts of his body.
"We still have to be confident, they will come soon ! Just hold the monster..." The female magician who also appeared to be injured.
"Have it, don't fight ! We just need to hold on, I'm sure help will come soon too" Helos said, interrupting, and also seeing some wounds on his body.

"Oh, yes, Ace ! What will you do next ?" Ask Liria.
"I want to go to captain Helos, I'm worried about his group"
"Hm... But the road is far enough. Moreover, you must return to this crossroads first" Reply Liria.
"Yes, I know. I wish there was a shortcut to get there !" Answer Ace.
"Captain, we will immediately split these crystals. What about your part, captain ?!" Said an adventurer to Liria.
"Well, I'll take my share first...!" Liria absorbed the part she asked for. By agreement he absorbed 2 percent of the elixir crystals.
Then followed Ace with the same part, and he took the five runes in front of him. "Captain, take a look here...!" Shouted one of the adventurers from behind the large tree that already looked old.
"Yes, what's up ?!" Liria immediately approached the man and saw what she had found. Followed by Ace behind him, they were shocked to see a teleportation magic cast inside the large tree.
"Well, this is a teleportation circle !" Ace said in shock.
"It turns out that this big tree is empty inside, like a towering, living pipe" Liria replied in admiration.
"The diameter of this tree is about 6 meters and with a height of more than 10 meters. I'm not sure this circle still works..." The elven race man suddenly came.
"It's true, if we don't try. How could we possibly know ?!" Ace interrupted.
"It's best not to be rash, Ace ! There are still many things unknown in this Dungeon" Sahut Liria.
Instantly the circle turns bluish. The light illuminated the entire tree to the ceiling. Ace slowly disappeared between the bluish-colored particles of light.
"Be careful, Ace !" Liria muttered worried about Ace.
.
.
Elsewhere, there is a small temple with lion ornaments and a magic circle on the floor. Light began to emerge from the magic circle. Along with the collection of bluish-colored particles Ace's body began to move to that place.
"Woossh !"
"Eh ? Where is this !?" Said Ace who was amazed to see the room inside the temple. "Seeing familiar... Like a lion !?" Ace clearly remembered something.
"Oh, ice lion totem ! Means this is where Captain Helos and his group are !" Ace. "So this is a shortcut to this place... But this is like an ancient temple, hmm... I'd better check it out !" Ace walked out of the temple.
Ace was shocked by the cold mist around the temple. Until blocking the view, and also the gust of the cold wind is quite strong.
"Huh, fog ! I hate things like this..." Ace grumbling. "I must find out as soon as possible the group of captain Helos ! I hope nothing happens to them"
Without a second thought Ace immediately ran straight in search of captain Helos and his group. Hoping for nothing to happen, Ace suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the front.
"What is that ?! Is possible...!"
Ace rushed to the source of the sound, and he stopped for a moment. In front of him was a gap high enough. "Wow !! Ice chasm...?!"
"Gosh, this place is full of cliffs and ice. What a horrible place...!"
Ace was flabbergasted to look around him, looking at the ice cliffs are quite high. "Eh ? That's them...!" Ace said he saw the adventurers below him fighting the ice lion.
"I have to get there !"
Then Ace looked for a way down from the top of the cliff. Not long around he found a path leading down. Without a second thought, he ran down that street.
"Groooaarr !"
"Ughs... This lion's voice was loud, the closer the sound grew bigger !" Ace was disturbed by the sound of ice lions echoing on the cliff walls.
"Everyone, hang on...!" Shouted Helos.
"Ugh !"
"Arrgh..."
"Captain, this is our limit !" The sorcerer's woman.
Ace quickly jumped towards the ice lion. And took out 3 explosive balls, and threw them at the lion. "Taste that ugly lion..." Ace said grinning.
"Boomm !"
"Rooaarr !"
The three explosive balls hit the head of the ice lion, instantly exploding violently. "Ace !? You're coming..." Helos said in shock to look at the man who had previously saved her.
"Hehe... Take it easy, captain, I will also help !"
"Oh, thank you, Ace ! Did Zed ask you to come ?!" Ask Helos curiously.
"Actually no, I came of my own accord" Ace replied. "I've also met with Liria and her group..."
"Oh, really ? How are they doing...?"
"Calm down they're fine. Rather than worrying about them, it was better to immediately defeat this lion. You seem to have a hard time here ?!" Reply to Ace and ask.
