The massive serpent opened it extremely wide mouth once again, revealing it saw blades which began spinning at the rapid rate, while the giant monster launched itself right at the vampire, forcing her to leap to the side and dodge the massive saw blade filled mouth, which ended up biting and straight up just tearing to shreds all the trees instantly.

"Jezus! I definitely don’t want to get caught by that!" – shouted Thanatos as she counter attacked with her scythe at the passing by body of the monster, securing a direct hit.... Before then getting alarmed as she saw the tail of the creature, a tail equipped with several moving blades.

"OH THAT IS STRAIGHT UP CHAINSAW!" – shouted Thanatos as she barely avoided getting ripped apart by the rotating blades that even cut in half one of the bigger rocks with ease.

"..."

(Stealth with high attack power. Assassin type boss.) – thought Thanatos as she quickly gotten away as the boss monster launched a fallow up attack with its tail.

(Still, it doesn’t really look like it has high defense.) – thought Thanatos as she saw her counter leaving a mark on the boss monster’s body.

"Rewards.... Only crafting materials."

"...Hm..."

(It doesn’t look like there is anymore enemies.... Was that it?)

(I mean, sure, he was scary.)

(Any average player would have hard time dealing with him.... But still, once you realize how he works and don’t get scared by those saw blades and chainsaws, you can easily beat him.)

(Was I wrong?)

(....No.)

(The dragon gryphons were much harder.) – thought Thanatos as she explored the room for a bit, before then finding the next pair of doors.

Thanatos passed through the doors, which led through the corridor, which they in turn led to another set of doors.

"...Huh..." – Thanatos like before had her monster open up the door for her, which led to the group discovering a massive spacious wasteland like area... Which contained one massive rhino like monster which was covered in head to toes in horns.

"Ah.... So that is the freaking gimmick here."

[You have slain: Murder Mole.]

*Phew*

"Fucking bastard finally died." – said Thanatos.

"How many freaking fakes can he make for crying out?"

(Honestly this is problematic.)

(Are all bosses like that?)

(I should be still able to do seventh and eight boss.... Still, how many floors are there?)

(The difficulty noticeable spiked.... But I think I should be able to do the third floor.... However, what about fourth floor? How big of a power spike will it be?)

"..."

(Not only that, does the dungeon has any special gimmicks as well?)

(Like for example, I have to beat every single boss in one go?)

(There are dungeons like these out there.... So, it wouldn’t really surprise me if I were to leave and all the bosses would just respawn.)

"..."

"Yeb.... Better safe than sorry."

"...13th... Open up." – said Thanatos as she once again commanded her monsters to open up the doors.

"!"

(Huh... This one is... Different?) – thought Thanatos as she entered the room and realized that the room was not only just bigger.... But it was also far more spiker.

(Spikes, spikes and spikes everywhere?)

(What are these even?)

(Plants?)

(...No... They are rocks.)

(And the whole map is filled with them?) – thought Thanatos as she realized that the whole map was filled with bend rock spikes, which were straight up present everywhere, be it on the ground or celling, with even some bigger spikes having their own lite spikes seemingly growing out of them.

(Other areas looked natural.)

(I mean, jungles, grass fields, wastelands, sea and what not... All of it were "natural".)

(But the hell is this crap? There is no "nature" in this?)

(...Well, maybe "fantasy nature"?)

(...Anyway, where is the boss?)

"..."

(Another freaking stealth one? For fuck’s sake... They can repeat?)

(Still, the cooldown for this thing is over.)

"[Blood Vision]."

But the moment Thanatos used her detection skill, one of the stone spikes from above suddenly flew right at her in a total silence, which made the woman not notice the incoming attack at all, until the last second where Thanatos moved to the side, dodging the direct hit... But still getting somewhat slashed in the process.

"Oh.... This ain’t stealth skill!" – said Thanatos as the rocks below her also came to life and tried attacking her, forcing Thanatos to somewhat block off the attack with her scythe... But only somewhat, as the woman could feel the alarming level of strength behind the attack, which forced Thanatos to back away.

"Tch. So that is the gimmick here?" – said Thanatos as the columns of earth spikes started moving around, seemingly coming to life.... Or more exactly, stopping to pretend to be a one, as Thanatos realized that some of the columns of spikes were nothing more than legs that were attached to the massive twisted body that was hiding right in the plain sight.
