Hey guys, if you want the story to continue after this volume, I really need people to rate/review it on Royal Road where most of the readers are. We're pretty close to hitting trending, and it only takes a minute to make an account and drop a juicy 5 star review! Thanks!

"This..." Yin's eyes bug out of her head. I rush over to her, no longer caring about anything else as I drag her away from the other Hunters before they can see the truth.
"Get away from me!"
A second later, the atmosphere completely changes. The previously congratulatory looks from the muscle-bound freak and Harem Leader are now suspicious. No one wants to turn their back to another.
"Hahaha! That's rich! Really rich!" Jian has regained consciousness on the other side of the platform. He and the Hawaiian shirted man stand up, dragging their companion, the boy with wavy red-hair head with them. We enter a tense standoff. The remaining parties stare at each other, waiting for someone to make the first move.
"W-Wait! We shouldn't fight! There has to be a way out of this..." The girl, Penelope, who has somehow managed to survive to this point runs out between our parties. She's a part of our group so I reach out to her, but I'm too late.
*Weng!*
"You really think I give a damn?" Harem Leader fires a warning shot at Penelope's feet. The energy of a System generated arrow explodes and sends the girl stumbling to the ground. "We helped bring the boss down but got none of the rewards! And now a member of the Boss-slaying party wants to avoid fighting? How about we all team up and kill your party first! Otherwise, you'll use the System Reward to wipe us out!"
"Y-YEA! Let's work together!" Jian catches on to what Harem Leader is saying and raises his sword. "They also got a System Reward from the Daemonic Minotaur! That's what that girl used to hurt the boss! Be careful, they're the most powerful party in the whole Secret Dungeon! That bastard is crafty, he stole the Mini-Boss from me!"
"You piece of..." I mutter angrily, wishing I had killed Jian when I had the chance. "Guys...let's get out of here." I grab Penelope's arm and pull her off the ground. However, when I try to help Yin up, her face turns white and she collapses back to the roof.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Hei! My leg won't...work." She grunts, trying her best to work through the pain. But it soon becomes apparent she can't move. Instantly, my expression grows worse.
This isn't happening.
Damn...it really is.
"Hahaha! She's hurt isn't she!" Jian takes a step towards us, as Harem Leader walks towards us from the other side. The muscle freak with the shield is the only exception. There's a big black streak of ash running through his shield from when he blocked the Demon Lord's lightning. He turns away from the scene, addressing his retinue of body builders.
