At last, golden light spread over his body.

He began to shrink, smaller and smaller, until he turned into a yellow creature no bigger than a stool.

“Ah! It’s a tiny cub!”

Joanna quickly picked him up and rubbed him gently.

He was fluffy-very fluffy.

She had seen kittens and puppies before, but she had never seen a baby lion. Joanna couldn’t help herself and gave him a few more pats.

Alwyn couldn’t hold it in anymore. A low rumbling purr came from his throat.

He leaned forward and rubbed his head against Joanna’s palm.

Nighthowl didn’t want to be left out either. He moved closer at the same time.

In an instant, two fluffy cuties crowded around Joanna. She laughed and used both hands, petting them evenly.

“Alright, alright. Time to sleep.”

Joanna closed her eyes and forced herself into rest mode. After her mental strength grew stronger, it didn’t make her more restless. Instead, it let her focus better on one thing. Even her soul could fall asleep instantly and wake up just as fast.

Very soon, she drifted into a deep sleep.

At the same time, the Dawnbreaker team.

That afternoon, Lucas and the others finally entered a dungeon again.

Another week had passed, so their entry fee for Desolate Castle was waived once more.

This time, however, they came fully prepared.

Before the fight began, everyone carefully read the guide. Even Cedric patiently flipped through it.

In the past, as long as Joanna was there, none of this mattered.

That afternoon, the team arrived at the dungeon gate and applied to enter.

This time, things were different. They were no longer panicking. Everyone had gained at least one piece of Silver-tier gear. Their combat power had improved a lot. They also brought enough potions. Slowly, they began pushing through the dungeon.

Still, problems kept popping up.

“Cedric, control your damage,” someone shouted. “Stop enjoying yourself. You’ve pulled aggro too many times!”

“Bruce, attack already!”

Lucas yelled while holding the monsters back.

Just then, Neil said, “After this wave, I need a break. My resistance to potions can’t handle it.”

Lucas was speechless. “Didn’t the teacher tell you last time? You don’t have to heal everyone to full. Wait until their HP drops below 50% before you heal.”

Noelle was right. Neil had a bad habit. He couldn’t stop healing unless everyone was at full HP.

That wasted a lot of healing power.

The whole team felt like a rusty machine. Nothing flowed smoothly anymore.

After stumbling through the fights, they finally cleared the dungeon at the 11-hour mark.

Because they had stayed inside Desolate Castle for so long, each of them lost 3 to 10 points from their maximum HP.

“Whew,” Lucas said. “This time we lacked experience. Next time, we’ll finish within 10 hours. Now, let’s start gathering materials.”

Luckily, once the dungeon ended, the invading ghost energy disappeared. They could stay inside as long as they wanted without taking damage.

Still, they weren’t good at collecting loot. It took them a full 4 more hours to gather everything.

One dungeon. Fifteen hours total.

They were more exhausted than ever.

When they exited the dungeon, company staff were already waiting. They took away the team’s spatial storage and handed them a new one.

“You’re way too slow,” the staff member said. “I waited three extra hours. Remember-after one day of rest, you’ll continue guided dungeon runs.”
