Shia woke up after sleeping for more than 12 hours. Her mind was a bit groggy after sleeping for so long but she was able to remember that she fainted in a very unfortunate timing. Immediately she also remembered that she needed to land the finishing blow on the dangerous plant monster, so she immediately stood up while activating a wind magic spell.

Only after standing up Shia managed to properly take a look at her surroundings and she was surprised to see that she was in a campsight. Nina and Marina were also resting at that time but they woke up after hearing Shia waking up. Marina then called out to Shia who was felling a bit confused with her situation.

After Shia managed to calm down a little bit, Nina told her everything that they had managed to found out. Shia had also expected that all of them were sent to different floors, so she was not overly surprised by this. So after understanding the situation, they sat down together to plan their next step.

But there was nothing much to plan. As they now knew that their leader was the only one left and she was definitely in the lower floors, they just needed to go deeper inside the dungeon. Eventually they would be able to meet up with Alessia.

With that in mind, as soon as Shia completed checking herself and making sure that she was fine, they started dungeon diving again. Now that they had a frontliner, a backliner and a support, their team was working perfectly. It was going so well that the ladies even stated jocking that they did not need their leader anymore. Three of them alone were enough.

As Shia had already defeated the boss of this floor and had found the stairs leading down, they immediately left the third floor. In the fourth floor, three of them started to start investigating the floor again as they needed to find if Alessia was here or not and the stairs to the next floor.

With three of them working together, the investigation proceeded very smoothly and in a quick pace. In less than a day, they managed to find the stairs to the next floor and the boss of this floor. Just like all the previous floors, the boss of the fourth floor was also a monster that could control plants. This time it was a snake.

This monster had very low defenses but it was extremely good at hiding itself and had very strong poison. Among the five bosses of the first five floors of this dungeon, even though in terms of level the mid boss Gorrila was the strongest, this snake boss was considered to be most dangerous.

But what this snake boss was able to do, Nina was able to do even better. So even without the support of her friends, she managed to sneak up on the snake monster and then she killed it with a single well placed strike at the weak point of the monster. With the monster's weak defense and low HP, that single powerful strike was enough to kill it.

Even after taking care of the boss, Nina and Shia continued to investigate the floor while Marina stayed near the stairs, ready to help any of them if they needed it. The reason for this set up was Shia's experience. The plant monster who had suddenly attacked her was not a regular floor boss but a stronger random enemy. If a monster like that showed up again, the ladies might be in danger. So they decided to be a bit cautious.

Even then the investigation of the floor did not take much time. In just one day, Nina was done mapping the whole floor. They did came across another decently powerful A rank monster. But Shia and Nina did not need to do anything about it as Marina was the one who had encountered it.

That monster was a humanoid shaped giant who was made of plant and wood. Marina had a fun time fighting it as this monster was closer to her own power level and was able to endure a lot of beating. So for the first time in this dungeon, Marina was very satisfied with a battle.

Overall, the exploration of the fourth floor went smoothly and the ladies soon found themselves in the fifth floor. Just like before, they started investigating the floor. In terms of size, the fifth floor was slightly bigger than the other floors so Nina would need some extra time to completely search it.

But Nina was soon able to find some clues about Alessia even before five hours since the start of the investigation was over. Alessia was not really good at hiding her track, so an expert scout like Nina was able to found them easily. From those clues, Nina judged that Alessia was here a few days ago.

Then with extra motivation, everyone was looking forward to complete reunion of their team. So Nina started to track down Alessia with the clues she had left behind while Marina and Shia followed behind her.

After tracking Alessia's route for a few hour, the group found themselves in front of a large plant Gorrila and the stairs to the next floor was behind it.

As the Gorrila was quite powerful, the Azure Legion decided to fight it as a group. With all three of them attacking it together, the Gorrila did not last long and was defeated. Nina then searched the whole area thoroughly and was sure that Alessia and not gone anywhere else on this floor from here. But she was also not present close to the stairs. That could only mean that she had already went down to the sixth floor.

This was not something that Alessia would normally do. But after they thought about their current unusual situation, they were able to guess what kind of thought process would Alessia have and why she would want to go down to the lower floors without meeting up with her party members first.

Now that Shia, Nina and Marina were aware that Alessia was in the deeper floors, they needed to think about what they should do next. Marina's intuition was telling her that the next floor was going to be harsh and not as comfy as the previous floors. So if they were going down, they needed to be extra careful.

After thinking about it for some time, Nina suggested that they should first take a little break to rest up and to adjust their mindset for the upcoming harder floors. Even though Marina was getting heated about finding stronger opponents to fight, she was aware of the importance of rest, so she agreed to have a little break. And Shia obviously was fine with the plan.

So with the intention of stepping on to the sixth floor, the ladies started to prepare themselves. They were hoping to meet up with their leader in the next floor very soon.
