**3rd Person POV**

A few hours later.

A party of more than 30 people is currently clearing the dungeon with ease. As the number grew eliminating monsters became easier.

Arthur frowned as he checked their level and discovered that their level only increased by one. He shakes his head in disappointment since he can't grind his companion level.

"Hey! Are you master of the three beast-kin? I want to keep the weapon they loot!" One of the survivors voices his thoughts. Soon the rest of the people expressed their discontent with slaves carrying a weapon and found them disgraceful.

Bella, Zonna, Neo, Hermon, and the knights heard their complaints and looked at them like some idiot. They knew Arthur's character wasn't a person who accepts someone beating without letting them bleed.

Arthur looked at the man before he took the heaviest blunt weapon inside his inventory and threw it at the man. The man smiled and caught the weapon, but regretted his decision because the weapon weighed more than 2 tons.

BANG!

"SH*T! HELP! HELP!"

The man was thrown on the ground crying for help as he felt his body being crushed with a weapon isn't funny. His companion immediately helped them and faced the same situation. Imani saw the situation and helped the man together with his companion by lifting the weapon before asking.

"Are you okay? Do you need Imani's assistance?"

"""…"""

"So who goanna complains about my companion making a personal weapon? Am I responsible for your life and death?" Arthur looked at them in disguise since the time he rescued them. His companion showed some signs of distress after they blamed them for every small thing. 

They even blamed his girls after they were unfortunately caught in the awakening ritual and sent to the labyrinth. Thus, he decided not to extend his help due to their unpleasant attitude.

"…" 

The rest of the survivor's face became dark. Zonna shook her head in disappointment after she witnessed the true nature of humans even Neo the slave trader felt disgust. He may be a slave trader, but he can't stomach to witness their action.

"You…" The man pointed at Arthur in anger and Imani tried to help him, but the man pushed her away before he moved ahead. Few of them decided to follow him. Bella was surprised and helped Imani to stand up before she glared at the group of men.

"Imani, are you okay?"

"Imani!" Fia helped her before she applied some ointment to heal her wounds. Arthur gripped his gun and wanted to kill them, but Alanna grabbed his hand before she shook her head.

She senses her master's killing intent and stops him from doing any unquestionable action. Arthur took a deep breath and nodded his head before they moved ahead, but Arthur made a vow to revenge his companion for the humiliation.

Meanwhile, the man and his group went ahead leaving behind the main group as they proved themselves stronger and more useful than the beast-kin and newbie. He leads the group without consideration of the surroundings, and one of his cronies asks him in a worried voice.

"Boss, I think we should wait for them."

"Huh? Are you telling me to seek protection from those groups of filth?" The man shouted at him in anger. Thus his voice was heard and followed by his cronies' agreement.

They nodded their head and revoked the man for siding with the beast-kin rather than following their boss.

Who will know how to survive the dragon's breath and bathe in their blood. They talked about their boss's achievements with loud voices without realizing the consequences of their action.

If Arthur heard them he only rolled his eyes in disdain since he knew a single breath was enough to destroy the whole Town. So telling him a man who had a hard time inside the dungeon has such capabilities he is willing to walk naked.

"Do you understand?" 

The man pointed his finger at the frightened man. The man was satisfied and discovered all his cronies were shaking, he also felt a faint breathing from his back. He is terrified to look back and decides to return from the main camp's direction. As a result, all his cronies run away leaving him behind after the man who questioned him earlier runs with all his might.

"RUN!"

"ROOAAR!!" A giant black panther howls in a loud voice calling a pack of panthers blocking them from their escape.

"HELP!!!!"

On the other side,

Arthur and his team lead the group as they detect traps ahead of time and manage to escape from the ambush areas. Bella and the rest felt thankful as they led them with fewer traps until they heard a scream from the other side. Arthur frowned after reading the map and learned the area was an ambushed area designated by the Black Panther.

'Idiots.' He thought before leading the team from the noise and rescued them. Bella, Zonna, and most of the knights looked at him in appreciation for they had a code of honor to follow among those codes was to protect the civilians.

"<Ground Surf>!"

BOOM!

Arthur kicked the ground and the wall ground moved in the direction of the voice together with the girls and Haku. Bella looked at Arthur's skill and she noted his mastery over the skill is top notch leaving behind the rest with dumbfound expression.

"What are you looking at? Follow him!" Zonna looked at them before calling their attention. Zonna took the lead and followed Arthur while Bella together with some of the knights protected the civilians from the back.

"WOOOH!"

Zonna and her team chase Arthur's team only for them to witness the true fighting capabilities of the girls. Where they witness tank Imani the small tiger-kin tanked the full assault of the Black Panther before tossing them in mid-air. Fia follows the Black Panther before releasing a <barrage cut> a rare skill among the combat-related class.

"Are you kidding, right?"
