Nero, My Existence Is Perfect 38 Chapter 38: Dungeon - Part 3.

Nero looked at Jana and asked her, "Jana, how do you cast magic?"

"Hrm..." Jana became thoughtful, after a few seconds, she responded to Nero's question. "It's a matter of intention. Not much different than commanding a finger of your hand to move, or even increasing the grip of your hands. Sounds simple, right?! But it's really simple! It's hard to shape the magic in your favor, but if you're just going to manifest it; it's not hard."

"En. I'll try." Nero managed to understand more or less what Jana explained to her. Closing her eyes, Nero concentrated and made a mental command, with the intention of manifesting light energy.

Since she was considered a light and shadow wizard by the hunter card, she should be able to do that, right?

She pointed her hand, with her palm open as a "stop" sign and light energy began to form in the palm of her hand. Sweating a little, since she had to make a lot of effort to get it done for the first time... 

Jana looked at Nero in shock! She said it was easy, but could she do it on the first try? What's more, it was a considerable amount of light energy that she was forming, with no sign of stopping. That was amazing.

'This girl is a genius!' Jana thought.

Sweating more and more, Nero was feeling her mana run out. She opened her eyes and noticed a ball of light, the size of a coconut. She looked at Jana and hurriedly asked, "How do I shoot this?"

Jana immediately replied, "Just imagine your breath leaving your mouth."

"O-Okay!" Nero nodded. She pointed her hand toward the elite red scorpion. Using her intent to drive out the energy ball, she shoots!

"Booom!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

An immense detonation of light energy almost blinded them. They attempted to get their bearings and call out to each other. They soon realized no one could hear, as their ears were still ringing. It took a few moments for everyone to acclimate to the piercing sensation in their ears.

Needless to say, the elite red scorpion is dead. Even the other four scorpions nearby almost had the same end. It was a very powerful attack.

"ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" Nero screamed without knowing.

"YES!" They answered in a loud voice. Since their ears were still ringing, they lost a bit of their sense of hearing.

"LET'S STRIKE WHILE THEY'RE STILL STUNNED." Shouted Jana as she manifested arrows of fire.

First of all, they knew they had to kill those scorpions. In a short moment, Choko, Jair, and Breno ran towards the red scorpions, while Jana prepared to support them.

Nero, on the other hand, spent a lot of her mana. She was panting and sweating  quite a bit. There were only four red scorpions and they were already wounded by the explosion of light; it would be easy for them to deal with it.

Nero looked toward the red elite scorpion: surprised. She didn't expect it to be such a strong attack. Her light attack struck the head of the elite red scorpion and pierced its tail.

'I only hope I can still plunder it.' She thought.

Nero sat on the floor to recover faster as she watched them fight. Although she knew she had more strength and attack power than they did, she still lost in fighting experience. Watching them, she thought she could learn a thing or two.

Choko was the first to arrive in front of the red scorpion that was level five. Although injured, the scorpion responded very quickly, using his claws, which looked more like a pair of scissors to snap in the direction of Choko.

Choko had to act fast. She flexed her torso backwards, then threw a fast and powerful punch towards the scorpion's left claw.

Strokes of the chitin of the red scorpion's claw broke off. The scorpion started to spin like a top due to the force of impact. Choko gave a loud, ferocious, but adorable scream; she then jumped up! 

Tremendous damage was dealt to the red scorpion's back, as her fist clashed with it. It left an imprint of her fist on its back as green like blood oozed out of the exoskeleton. Using the support of her other hand, Choko twisted and jumped into the air back on the ground back into a battle stance. She looked at the scorpion and saw that it was no longer moving. 

She took out a towel from her hunter card. She started wiping the sweat off her forehead and cleaning off her gloves. She had a satisfied grin. 

On the other hand, Jair and Breno were still fighting, separately, against the other red scorpions, while receiving support from Jana.

Jana's fire arrows were enough to weaken the scorpions. Jair and Breno always took this chance to attack.

A moment later, Jair finally managed to cut one of the scorpions' heads in half. He then went to help Breno and Choko who were now fighting the two remaining red scorpions.  

Seeing that the fight was almost over, Nero approached the elite red scorpion. Looking in all directions, seeing that there was no imminent danger, she crouched down and placed her small white hands on top of the body of the elite red scorpion.

'Impressive!' Nero thought, 'that is a great amount of coins…'

She, who was feeling poor, had now recovered almost double what she had spent today.

Choko, Jana, Jair, and Breno who finished the fight and saw how fast Nero took to loot even a level six monster... they were left with their mouths open wide.

'Even at that level she can plunder very fast...' they thought.
