Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

The first batch of monsters I rounded up easily gave the girls ten levels which was nice. And for me, I got zilch… No experience whatsoever. But that was fine. As long as we continue like this, the girls will level up quickly. Some of the experience points even came from the slimes, who were doing well in leveling up as well.

"Alright, we will now go in and fight the ones who can't move. Be careful and watch your surroundings. There are many vine type monsters." I had to give this warning because when I was running around collecting a batch of monsters, I was almost tripped up a few times in the process.

This is why I have always disliked plant monsters. Even in novels, they were always the most annoying. Because it is hard to distinguish a plant monster from a real plant, after all, in a sense they are still plants.

A flower monster might be the same flower you sniffed not too long ago. You stop and sniff the same kind of flower only to have it suddenly open up and show razor sharp teeth that bite your head off and then consume you slowly. And that is if you are lucky to have a quick death by the plant. From what I know from Runa's explanation, some of the plants will slowly devour you within their bodies using a special acid their bodies produce.

It is not the best of ways to go, that is for sure. Runa had told me that many had died when they first entered the dungeon before they figure out what was what for monsters. One thing I have to say is lucky for her is that the monsters here are level based, so it enables her people to level properly without worrying about taking on monsters way too strong for them.

Although maybe plant monsters are kind of horrifying. When they attacked, they looked quite grotesque and even alien like. But now that I am thinking about it, there were some grotesque plants back on Earth as well.

If life on Earth evolved in even a slightly different manner, the plants of that planet could have grown legs and run around chasing after early humans. Maybe it would have never become so advanced and would have been more of a tribal planet. But who knows? Maybe humans would not have been able to evolve at all, and the me of that world, would never have been born. It is a strange thing to think about, but it is a possibility.

"Faith, watch out!" Sophie snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see a large brown vine lashing out at me. I snorted and raised my sword, and slashed down, slicing it in two.

I pursed my lips, looking at the purple ooze coming from the cut parts. It was fizzling and melting the ground. If that had landed on any of us, we probably would have melted too. Luckily we all have barriers up, so that will not happen, but still. These kinds of plants are indeed scary if you are not careful.

"Faith, are you okay?" Adel asked as she came to my side.

"Mm… Just in my own world." I had to kinda be out in my own world to do power leveling. Killing monsters was not all that fun, to begin with. It was a big grind, and I was one to hate the grind.

I liked leveling up, but only if it was fruitful, so fighting monsters with no true reward was not very fun to me. The girls were leveling up, which was my intention, but still, it was very tedious and boring. And we just started! I did not plan to stop our leveling mission until everyone was at least level 1000 plus. We needed at least this strength for the time being. But even if I do have this kind of goal in mind, it was still boring as can be!

It took us three hours to clear the first floor. When we found the set of stairs leading down it was surrounded by strange pink glowing mushrooms that wiggled back and forth. Luckily, they were small, and if you stepped on them, they would squish instantly. They were not monsters at all, and according to appraisal, they tasted sweet, but….. They were hallucinogenic. This meant if you ate one, you would really be in for some freaky things.

When we reached the second  floor it was much like the previous floor. I once again rounded up all the monsters that could roman around before killing the stationary ones after. This time the girls even helped with fighting.

Each floor was the same until we reached the fifth floor. This was a mini boss I guess you could call it, as it was just a big room that was sealed off once we all entered the room. And in the middle was a large Mushroom that was level 1034. "Careful."

"Is this a boss?" Sei asked as she looked at the huge pink and blue mushroom. It looked very ominous if you asked me.

"Yes…."

[Boss: Mutated Mush]

[Level 1034]

[Health 2000000/2000000]

[Mana 500000/500000]

It did not have the best of names, but I do wonder what makes this different from the other floors. But I did worry. The blue on the mushroom kind of stuck out to me as troublesome. I had not seen any blue mushrooms besides the mini mushrooms that were on the stairs leading down to each floor, so if it was mutated with parts of those little mushrooms, then we might be in trouble.

"I suggest that everyone use the spell I made to filter air…." Luckily I had made a special magic spell just for this that I had everyone learn. When you think of plants, there are kinds that have spores. And some novels also had these spores be used as poisonous attacks. The girls quickly cast their spells without a second thought. I also did the same. As we slowly entered the boss room from the stairwell, the boss that was slumbering suddenly shook, and spores really did fly through the air. It was just that….
