After the battle ended, the group continued their journey to find the Boss Room.

Lawang Sewu Dungeon was infamous for its thousand rooms, so they had no other choice but to explore the rooms one by one.

Ray's group itself was pretty lucky. With Ray being on the team, the group felt like most of its burden was alleviated, making their state of mind better than other groups that also explored the Lawang Sewu Dungeon.

In fact, the most dangerous thing from Lawang Sewu Dungeon was how it played with someone's psychology. With the dark and seemingly endless room, people normally tend to overthink, and combined with the death aura surrounding it, Lawang Sewu Dungeon could easily make someone go crazy.

" Ray, should we take a rest first? It has been a while, and we don't seem to find any trace of other groups."

One of the awakeners, Mira said.

The group itself have been walking and battling for a while, and almost didn't have any rest along the way.

Ray looked behind, and seeing the girls seemed to be pretty tired, he eventually nodded.

Actually, Ray himself was not that tired. He was used to battling all day long, and just a few hours of exploration and battling wouldn't make him pour any sweat.

Furthermore, Ray was a bit anxious about Edward's condition.

Still, seeing the girls was almost at their limit, Ray knew that proceeding going forward was not the best option. He followed the girl to find an empty room, and the group began to rest.

During their exploration, the relation between Ray and the girls has gotten a lot better, and Ray learned many things from Eve.

Ray himself got to know about Eve's more advanced use of danger sense, which she gladly taught Ray after knowing that Ray also had the danger sense.

The group began to chat while enjoying the small rest time they currently have.

But just when they were chatting about daily life, a bright idea suddenly appeared on Jane's mind.

" Wait, why don't we use scent to attract other awakeners? I know it might be a bit dangerous, but if we are to cook here, wouldn't the other awakener be able to smell the scent of our food and come here?"

" Ah.. that might be a great idea. If I'm not wrong, ghost-type monsters here shouldn't have any sense of smell, so this cooking scent should only attract other awakeners."

Who ever thought that such a thing would work here. Still, the group thought that it was a good idea, and after getting everyone's approval, they started to make a fire and cook some simple dishes.

They use the cooking utensil they have and make some bbq. In fact, the group brought some ingredients and cooking utensils in their bag. They have long known that it could be a pretty long exploration, so the group has made sufficient preparation as to not be hungry in the middle of the exploration.

Of course, they also brought things like dried food or ration. Still, if you are in a stressful mood, some good dish would help make you better, and that was their consideration to bring cooking utensils here.

The fire was lit, and slowly the bbq scent spread everywhere.

. . . . . .

"Uwaaahk!!"

"Keo-heok!!"

Two awakeners were pierced by blood arrows.

Their body had some holes in them, and their eyes showed traces of despair.

Fortunately for them, just when the pocong appeared behind them and ready to bite their head off, a big rock hammer was aimed at the pocong's head, blowing it away.

" Now, Kiara, use Wind Blade!"

Along with the words, three wind blades were shot at the pocong, and it was able to slice the pocong's body into a few parts before it slowly disintegrated into light particles.

" Fiuh, that was hard."

Just now, it was none other than the other group leader of the Lawang Sewu Dungeon expedition, Tony and Kiara.

Different from Edward and Ray, they were only ambushed by about 4 ghost-type monsters, and with their power, they were able to win this battle, even though with some casualties on hand.

Tony and Kira walked closer to the injured two awakeners and looked at them with grim expressions.

" Kiara, what do you think we should do?"

" This..."

Yup, looking at the condition of the two awakeners, Tony realized that bringing them along would only give them more burden, and an idea of leaving them here arose in his mind.

Even if it might sound evil, this kind of thing was pretty normal in a new Dungeon exploration.

Still, for a girl like Kiara, her heart was not as strong as Tony's. Seeing her two comrades wounded like this, she couldn't bear to just leave them alone.

Kiara looked at Tony and the two injured awakeners a few more times, and in the end, she could only sigh inwardly.

" You are the captain, Tony, so we will follow your decision."

The two awakeners face plunge into despair as they hear Kiara's word. They had some hope that the beautiful lady in front of them would have her heart touched and would not resort to abandoning them.

Still, it seems it was the need of their journey, and they couldn't refute it anymore.

Tony, who heard no objection in Kiara's words, had a slight arc on his mouth.

" Then, we will leave the two of you here first. Don't worry. the monsters in this room have been cleared, and we will pick you up when we clear the Dungeon."

Tony pat the shoulder of the two injured awakened and tried to reassure them with a smile. Nonetheless, the two injured awakened were not that naive and knew that this was only a formality.

They just stayed silent and didn't bother to say any more words. Trying to say something was useless, and they would rather stay and save their energy here.

" Oh, by the way, don't you guys still have some energy potion on hand? Health potion might be too expensive to you guys, but energy potion should still be affordable. How about handing it to us now? It would certainly help us in clearing this Dungeon."

Evil, this guy is an Evil...

The two injured awakened never thought that not only they would be abandoned but also robbed along the way.

Out of their feeling for not wanting to cause big trouble, they could only surrender and give Tony their energy potion. Their heart bled as they remembered that the price of one potion could at least reach $10,000, and now they just gave them to Tony freely.

" Hehe, that's good. Stay safe guys, we will pick you up later."

Tony took the energy potion without any reservation and proceeded to leave the room. He knew that those two guys were already hopeless, and there was no use in staying with them anymore.

Closing the door to the room, Tony, who had just lost two of his team members, didn't seem to be distressed at all, and instead, there was some happiness in getting some free energy potion.

" Kiara, where is our next destination?"

" Wait a minute, I will check with my skill."

Kiara took a step forward, and immediately her body was surrounded by a green glow.

Yup, it was her skill, the B-rank Mapping.

The reason that Tony's group could still survive until now was none other than this mapping skill. With this skill, the group could choose the less dangerous path and avoid most of the traps.

A few minutes later, the green glow disappeared, and Kiara was back to normal.

" I don't know, Tony. My mapping skill says that the path in front of us is all extremely dangerous. Should we take another route?"

" Hmm, let me think for a sec."

Hearing Kiara says the forward path was dangerous, Tony was not an idiot that would still continue going forward.

He was now pondering whether he should stay here and wait for the other to clear the Dungeon or take another path.

But just when Tony was still pondering things, he suddenly picked up on a faint smell coming from a distance.

Tony began following that smell.

It should be not that far, he thought.

" Kiara, I have decided. We will follow this smell and find the other group first."

" Eh, but what if it was a trap?"

" Believe me, Kiara. From the information I've heard, the monster here should have no sense of smell, and this kind of scent could only be a signal sent by other surviving groups."

" Okay then.. I believe you. But I will use my mapping skill to check the route."

Seeing that Tony had made a decision, Kiara knew that it would be useless for her to try to say anything.

She quickly turned on the mapping skill once again, and only after she ensured that there was no danger on the path, they start walking in the direction where the scent came from.

The three-person group led by Tony walked slowly. From his estimation, the place should not be that far, and it was no use to rush.

They followed the path that Kiara told them, and only when they open the last door, they were greeted by an unbelievable spectacle.

'How can this be?!'

In front of them, Tony found Eve's group was resting while having bbq along the way.

However, the thing that startled him the most was the fact that none of Eve's group members was missing, and they seemed to be all safe and sound.

He tried to think about the reason why Eve's group could still enjoy food while chatting happily, and suddenly something came up to his mind.

" Coward!! Don't tell me that you guys are so afraid of the Dungeon that you decided to just camp here and do nothing. You guys are the shame of Indonesian awakeners!"
