Crasshhhh

A loud crash echoed throughout the labyrinth as a large monster was blasted towards the walls of the labyrinth. It was a Minotaur General who was currently being subjected to Polaris' breath attack.

Relentlessly, Polaris' beam pinned the Minotaur General motionless on the walls, making it scream in anger and pain as it watched itself being burnt to cinders by the second. There was nothing it could do as Polaris was simply too powerful for it.

"Amazing..." [Yuna]

Soon after, with its flames of life ceasing to stay alight, the body of the Minotaur General vanished intoー or so, that's what normally would have happened. But rather than dissipating, the corrupted mana from the Minotaur was sucked in into Polaris' mouth as if he was feeding on it.

"Was my performance to your satisfaction, Master, Mistress?" [Polaris]

"A-Ah, yeah..." [Grey]

"You're amazing, Polaris! You defeated it in an instant!" [Yuna]

"I'm not deserving of such kind words..." [Polaris]

While Grey was still left in shock with Polaris' power, Yuna on the other hand, found nothing peculiar about it and started complimenting Polaris, making the latter happy for her appreciation.

Currently, along with the other familiars, Polaris has shrunk himself to a size comparable to the size of a large horse so that he could easily traverse the labyrinth, but even when he looked smaller, he still emanated a domineering aura.

"Master, Mistress, I also want to fight." [Sirius]

"I feel the same. I also want to showcase my strength!" [Canopus]

Of course, Polaris' wasn't the only one who wanted to be of use to Grey and Yuna. To Sirius and Canopus' words, Kentaurus and Arcturus also nodded their heads to show their agreement.

While they may not be as strong as Polaris, it is embedded in a familiar's heart to be useful to their masters. Even if they had to risk their lives, they would still do their best to make sure they can be of use.

"Alright, then apart from Polaris, everyone will fight alongside Yuna. Make sure to stay vigilant as the monsters here are all S-rank." [Grey]

"As you wish." ""Understood."" ""Yes!""

The familiars' voices echoed in unison as they heeded Grey's orders. Especially when the three of them were still at B-rank. It would only take a single mistake for them to receive a fatal wound.

With vigilance on the high, the party continued their way inside the labyrinth, and after half an hour of traveling, Grey has finally detected not just one but three S-rank monsters. They were in a black zone just right next to a blue zone.

"There are three monsters a few hundred meters away. Me and Polaris will take one each, while Yuna and the others will take on the remaining one. Is that alright with everyone?" [Grey]

"Un, leave it to us." [Yuna]

"You can rest assured, Master." [Polaris]

"Alright, then... 《Illuminate》!" [Grey]

As soon as Grey chanted those words, an orb of light shone brightly inside the labyrinth, clearing away the darkness looming over the black zone, and revealing the monsters sheltered behind the curtain of darkness.

The monsters were a Four-Armed Cyclops, a Demetreid Treant, and a Golem King. All of which have focused their attention on the party. waiting to attack as soon as they set foot in the black zone.
