A Minor Complication
Suddenly, the entire dungeon seemed to have gone into massive convulsions and spawned a monster that no one recognized. Being closest to Revis, it first attacked Revis. While uninjured, Revis realized the monster was extremely powerful. With Evilus mostly destroyed by Lefiya's attack and the subsequent explosions, Revis did not want to have to fight the monster, the Xenos and the Loki familia by herself. Thus she quickly left and headed to the 12th floor. With Revis gone, the monster quickly killed all the remaining Evilus members with incredible speed.
Finn, Bete, Tione and Lefiya were grateful that Revis was gone and the remnants of Evilus destroyed. However, they did not know whether the monster was a Xenos on their side. Though they quickly realized that the monster was not an ally after it attacked Bete.
While Finn, Tione and Lefiya watched, Bete and the monster had a incredibly fast exchange of blows. The problem is that while Bete's strikes hit, they did not caused much damage on its heavily armored body. On the other hand, the monster dealt a tremendous amount of damage on Bete. The monster then finished Bete off by hitting him with its tail, sending him flying into a wall.
Seeing the monster defeat Bete, Lefiya launched arcs ray at it, but the magic bounced back at Lefiya. The reflected arcs ray caused a huge injury and knocked Lefiya unconscious.
The monster then went back to finish Bete, forcing Finn to jumped in to defend with his spear. Finn fared better against the monster than Bete but again was unable to land an effective strike due to the monster's armor. Finn's attack did allow time for Tione to carry Bete away to the 10th floor for treatment by the elves. However, with Lefiya was still lying nearby, Finn could not allow the fighting to head towards the unconscious elf during their battle. That liability forced Finn to expose himself significantly more. After a few more minutes, Finn was punished by a deep slash from the monster. No longer able to put up an effective defense, he ran in the opposite direction from Lefiya, hoping to draw the monster away.
As the monster gave chase, Ais finally arrived. Seeing the unconscious Lefiya and her injured captain, Ais immediately intercepted the monster while launching a powerful ariel attack. Unfortunately, the huge ariel attack also reflected back, disrupting ariel and knocking Ais unconscious 50 feet away against the dungeon wall...
