At this ti, by following the traces left by Cyborg Goblin. Thomas, Rura and the others had already co deep inside the chanical scrapyard.
It was like an arena with a dark, furnace-lit chamber strewn with scrap, conveyor belts, and rotating buzz saws. Mini Bots occasionally spawn from vents in the wall. Thomas and the others worked hard to eliminate the problem before it got out of control and increased in number.
While doing so, they also had to be careful of the traps from the Trapper Kobolds, which may activate randomly if they move carelessly.
After they dealt with the new batch of mini-bots, Thomas took a breath to rest. Then he noticed the frown on Rura's face.
"Is there sothing wrong, Rura?"
Rura didn't show a bad attitude towards Thomas at this ti, but expressed her thoughts clearly.
"If I'm not wrong, this place should be the actual location where we encounter the Cyborg Goblin. I'm thinking... Was it just a coincidence that we t a wandering hidden boss, or was it a planned conspiracy against us?"
After her words fell, Thomas' expression beca grim.
Rura's suspicion wasn't groundless. Maybe the target is him. As the prince of the Aiverson Empire, many enemies want to eliminate him.
Before he could state his opinion. The sound of footsteps resounded. They turned to look at the new group that had just arrived.
"Sera..?" Rura called out. "How co you are here?"
Yes, the students who arrived just now were Sera and her team. Originally, Sera wanted to follow Alex's team as soon as they entered the dungeon. For so reason, they were separated.
She never expected it would take so long to find Alex's team again. But now that she had found them, she couldn't find Alex's figure. A bad premonition ca into her mind.
She didn't answer Rura's greetings, but asked instead. With a hint of panic written on her face.
"Where's Alex?!"
"Alex? He was eliminated and taken back by the rescue staff," Thomas answered with a hint of disdain in his tone.
However, Sera's reaction surprised them.
"What?! Are you sure they were rescue staff?!" Sera asked with a fierce look.
Thomas and Rura glanced at each other, feeling that things were indeed not simple.
"Calm down, Sera. They were indeed wearing the rescue staff uniform. Tell us, what's wrong?" Rura explained with a calm expression and asked.
'Oh no, I was too late!'
Sera was in no mood to answer Rura's doubts. At this mont, she was extrely worried about Alex's situation.
'No, I have to contact the Professor and the guards from the family!'

On the other side.
Team 3 had already left the Poisonous Swamp Zone and changed out of the protective clothing. Then, entered the Winter Mist Zone.
Because of the mist covering the entire zone, the visibility here is extrely low. Adding to the monsters who specialise in stealth and assassination skills. It becos very challenging.
For this reason, the Thermal Imaging Goggles are necessary when entering the Winter Mist zone. Otherwise, you might get killed by the monsters here before even seeing their shadows.
Luis' perception skill is very restricted in the Winter Mist zone. However, he wasn't worried because his Enhanced Instinct skill helps him negate the sneak attacks of monsters in this zone.
"Cobert, isn't this zone your ho field? This ti, you will work hard."
Upon hearing this, Cobert rolled his eyes in annoyance, but didn't disagree.
"You guys move on. I'll deal with the enemies you missed." He said, then his body turned into mist and disappeared.
Sufi and Bonnie were surprised by his sudden disappearance. While Luis looked at the scene with interest.
'Is this the power of Assimilation Talent? As expected of the super villain!'
If he is being honest, he would love to study Cobert's talent and squeeze out his true potential. 'Forget it. Let's take a step at a ti. Cobert is still quite wary of . There's no way he would let study him at present.'
He looked at Sufi and Bonnie, who were still looking around for Cobert, dumbfounded.
"Okay, stop searching! Cobert has used his talent to assimilate with the mist."
Only after Luis' explanation did they understand Cobert had used his talent to turn himself into mist and had surrounded them to prevent sneak attacks.
"Cobert is amazing!" Bonnie praised with an excited look.
"I didn't expect that lazy guy would have such a talent." Sufi also nodded in affirmation.
Cobert, who had turned into mist, was almost left speechless after hearing Sufi's words. Just how badly did this arrogant elf think of himself?
Whatever, let's not bother with this ignorant elf. How could she understand the charm of the most talented assassin of the Aiverson Empire?
With Cobert's protection, Team 3 started exploring the Winter Mist Zone without any worry.
The first monster they encountered was Sickle Bugs.
[Sickle Bugs (E)
Small, mantis-like insects about the size of a house cat. They have curved, gleaming sickle arms and icy-blue carapaces. Masters of ambush, they strike swiftly from misty cover.]
While fighting with Sickle Bugs, Luis also made the full play of his Enhanced Instinct Skill. No matter from which direction the Sickle Bugs ambush him. His body would dodge and counterattack instinctively.
'This is a good place to practice.'
As he thought so, he completely turned off his Perception Skill, took off the thermal glasses and asked Cobert not to protect him for a while.
Although Cobert was confused, he agreed. Then he watched as Luis stepped forward and was targeted by more than a dozen Sickle Bugs at the sa ti.
'What is he trying to do?' He wasn't worried about Luis getting hurt. The damage from these E-Rank Sickle Bugs would take a long ti to kill Luis.
After the dozen Sickle Bugs attacked Luis. In front of Cobert, Sufi and Bonnie, his body started moving. No matter from which angle or blind spot, the Sickle Bugs attacked. Luis dodged them with a breeze and counterattacked with a Thunder Bullet.
His movents were like a perforr presenting his art.
Yes, at this ti, he had subconsciously activated his Perforr Talent!
