[Third Person POV],

Anna flapped her wings hard together with the shadow crow who had just increased in size and charged at the grey figures below her, having decided to go on the offensive this time rather than stay on the defense.

Because there were a lot of people below her who were already on the attack, and because she was holding Mia close to her and couldn't risk injuring both of them, Anna first sent the crow to attack the grey figures below her.

The portal through which the grey figures emerged had long since vanished after the last of them had emerged.

After making this quick less of a plan plan, the shadow crow flew in front of Anna and let out another screech but this time, unlike the first time it did it here, this screech came with black flames that caught the people below it off guard but because they weren't ready for the sudden attack, majority of the grey figures on the ground caught on fire as they burned while the ones who could dodge but still got a part of them whether clothes or skin or a part of their body burned from the shadow crow flames, they weren't in a much better position than the ones that were still on fire.

Adding to the fact that the shadow flames were not ordinary and had different properties such as being corrosive, the damage the crow had just caused from this single first attack could be imagined even though none of the grey figures had died yet, which was understandable because depending on how powerful one is, they could either reduce or completely neutralize the effect of the black flames on them using only their mana.

Anna was the only person who had ever used mana to neutralize the black flames of the shadow crow because the flames did not affect her in the first place.

It was just a shame that the black flames weren't included in the feedback Anna received from the shadow crow; otherwise, life would have gotten a little easier, or so she thought.

Anna was able to take a short breather because the other grey figures all ran to different locations far away from where she and the crow were, and looking at the way they still held their weapons, it was clear that they hadn't given up on attacking her and were just trying to distance themselves for her and the crow.

If they had known that the shadow crow flame attack didn't have a cooldown timer and relied more on the crow's energy, they would have attacked the crow immediately after it finished attacking the others instead of giving it time to launch another attack.

This time, the crow went straight to where the majority of the grey figures were gathered.

This was also the location of the elderly grey female who had told her fellow race to capture Anna, and just as the crow was about to reach her side in the crowd, it opened its mouth to let out another screech with another round of black flames and tried to burn as many grey figures as it could.

When the crow finally reached the side of the elderly grey female figure who appeared to be the leader of this group on the ground, it directed its mouth in her direction and let out another round of black flames directed solely at the elderly grey figure, but something happened just before the black flame could touch her.

Just as the black flame was about to touch the elderly grey female on the ground, as well as the other relatively old grey figures nearby, a transparent shield appeared in front of her to block the flames.

This went on for a few seconds, and when Anna realized it was taking too long and the transparent shield didn't appear to be breaking any time soon, she communicated with the crow in her head to use the remaining energy from the current flame attack to attack the remaining defenseless grey figures on the ground, adding to the already rising casualties.

The causalities here did not include the number of deaths, but rather the damages, because the number of grey figures who died as a result of being burned alive was not particularly significant since it did not greatly reduce the number of grey figures attacking Anna.

Something Anna could add to the casualties caused by the shadow crow's flames was the burning boxes scattered around on the ground.

When Anna first saw the grey figures emerge from the big portal, she noticed a number of them carrying these boxes, and remembering how carefully they carried them at the time, Anna could bet that these boxes were important to the grey figures on the ground, and now more than half of these boxes have been burned down.

As Anna quickly observed these things while wondering if she had to go all out to escape from here and how she would do it now that she appeared to have the advantage, she noticed that the elderly grey figure she assumed to be the leader of this strange looking group was also doing the same and observing the surroundings.

When Anna saw this, she was about to instruct the shadow crow to attack again when the elderly grey female figure on the ground that had made Anna wary, especially after the part where she demonstrated her ability to do magic, suddenly spoke in a strange language that made Anna realize that the language she had previously managed to understand wasn't English.

This astounded her because she had subconsciously used the basic universal language that others had advised her to acquire.

While these thoughts raced through her head, Anna focused on what the elderly grey female was saying to her fellow race.

"Use the foundation stone and deactivate the defense dome.

We went for a big fish this time," the grey figure said, and Anna felt the mana that had been covering the sky vanish a few seconds later.

When she saw this, she thought it was another trap, so she didn't do anything right away and just concentrated on the elderly grey female on the ground below as both of them stared at each other for a few seconds before Anna suddenly showed an expression of surprise on her face before flying off to another location through the sky as the grey figures on the ground followed her departure with their eyes.

The elderly grey female figure spoke again after Anna had gone into the distance.

"Let's change locations," she stated as the group quickly became occupied while she went to help the others who were still using their mana to prevent themselves from being burnt alive.

One reason for this decision was that they encountered Anna, and seeing the 'little' strength the lad displayed, the grey figure was not willing to continue looking for trouble in her sealed state if the little girl was from a certain powerhouse Affiliation.

She was also perplexed as to why Anna flew away with that expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Anna was flying through the air, recalling what she saw on the head of the elderly grey figure while concentrating on her.

[Rank 1 Dark Elven Chief Level 25[Sealed]],

While she finally realized why she thought the grey figures' ears were strange, Anna came across something that diverted her attention away from this after spending a few extra hours killing the stray monsters she encountered on her way.

It was another portal, but this one was different from the previous one she had encountered.

Anna moved closer to the portal, deciding to take a quick look and then flee if she noticed anything wrong, and when she saw the information provided by the primordial chronicle, she relaxed her guard.

[Temporary Challenge Dungeon],

[Condition to enter dungeon: Level 25],

[Difficulty: Easy~Hard],

'A dungeon?'

'Now that I think of it, am the only one who hasn't entered a dungeon yet'

'Hmmm'

Anna decided to give it a shot after a few seconds of deliberation.

If anything were to happen, her summon would hopefully be able to assist her.

With this positive thought in mind, while actually looking for an excuse, Anna entered the dungeon through the portal entrance as she was cut off from the true world.
