Every party mber turned toward Aiden at that mont. Tam in particular was the most surprised. The others weren’t mages, so they wouldn’t be able to tell, but he understood that raw power like that wasn’t common and couldn’t co from just anyone.
"Hmm..." Tam muttered to himself.
Aiden stared at his hands in amazent, but the focus on them was imdiately broken when new screens popped up before him.

"Don’t know how you pulled that off, kid, but you saved skin there. Thanks," Alaric said.
Aiden redirected his attention back to Alaric and simply nodded, then he made the screens go out of sight more.
"Off we go!" Alaric announced as he raised his axe and balanced it above his shoulders.
However, Aiden decided to use his Dragon’s Sight again. He had powerful magic but practically no experience with dungeons, and he didn’t want to entertain any other surprises.
[Dragon’s Sight]
His vision penetrated through everything before him, the walls and distance,reaching up to five hundred ters until he saw two monsters curled up and intertwined with each other. They had the sa appearance as the ones they had just fought, but with one major difference: they were much bigger and looked much more dangerous.
"Wait," Aiden called out, which caused them all to stop and turn toward him. They were suddenly on alert as well.
"What’s it, kid? Another monster under us, eh?" Alaric asked while moving his eyes around the ground in anticipation.
"No, it’s not underneath. They’re up ahead, just two of them, but they’re much bigger than the ones that just attacked us," Aiden explained.
"Must be the Dungeon Lords," Ingrid imdiately replied.
Dungeon Lords were the final monsters or the big threat in every dungeon. Until they were killed, the dungeon wouldn’t be cleared, and the raiders wouldn’t be able to leave either.
Tam interjected, "The monsters ahead, how do you know that?" The question was directed at Aiden, and Tam had a puzzled expression.
"That don’t matter. Best we know and get ready," Alaric said. Then he turned toward Aiden and asked, "How far are they?"
"Not far," Aiden replied.
"Aye, let’s go to it then," Alaric said.
They all nodded and proceeded behind Alaric into the final stage of the dungeon.
It was exactly as Aiden had said. There were two giant centipede-looking monsters curled up together, much larger in both length and size compared to the ones they had just faced.
One of these monsters imdiately picked up the human presence and screeched so loudly that the sound was deeply uncomfortable. The party had to cover their ears, and then imdiately, both monsters burrowed into the ground at incredible speed.
Aiden’s eyes transford once again, and he could see how these monsters moved underneath them. The rest of the team was on high alert as well, watching their every step while paying full attention to the rumbling of the ground.
Everything underneath them was currently rumbling due to the giant monsters beneath, so except for Aiden with his Dragon’s Sight advantage, it was going to be difficult for the others to know when these monsters would spring up.
Imdiately, Aiden’s sight caught one of these monsters moving upward at high speed. it was coming from underneath Ingrid.
"On you!" Aiden exclaid toward Ingrid while simultaneously leaping toward that corner in anticipation of the monster.
Ingrid imdiately leaped away to the side at his call, knowing it was going to attack and try to swallow her whole from underneath.
The monster sprang out with its giant body, but thankfully Ingrid was out of the way. However, Aiden was already in close proximity with his right fist clenched and stretched out to deliver a punch.
[Fists of Destruction]
His punch connected with the body of the giant monster almost at the sa ti it stretched out its full length from the ground. Instantly, its body burst into several pieces that spread disgusting fluids everywhere.
Ingrid, who had landed on the ground after jumping away from the approaching monster, was also covered in the fluids that spread from the destroyed monster.
She couldn’t believe her shocked eyes as she witnessed Aiden take out this monster with one punch. The others had about the sa reaction as well.
However, Aiden imdiately turned toward Tam just as he destroyed the monster before him and called out, "Under you!"
His Dragon’s Sight had been active the whole ti, so even when he moved to intercept the monster attacking Ingrid, he still paid attention to the movents of the other one underneath.
The second monster was going to attack from underneath Tam this ti. However, Tam imdiately put his wind magic to use.
He created a burst of wind from underneath him that guided him away just in ti to avoid the monster’s head that rushed out first.
Almost simultaneously after avoiding the monster, he waved his hand toward the creature, causing a wind gale spell that pushed the monster with such force that it struck the stony walls.
Before the monster could recover, a torrent of flas washed over it imdiately, shot from Aiden’s position on the opposite side.
The monster got caught up in flas and imdiately started burning. It screeched loudly as it was consud by Aiden’s flas, and monts after, the screeching ended. The last of the Dungeon Lords was dead.
