Ais and Sheng Ming approached Primis at this time. They saw the white cube in his hand which was holding Juggernaut within. Ais got astounded witnessing this.

Ais: My Lord, j-just what?

Primis only smiled but didn't reply. Then he sent the cube in his inventory and put his head on Ais's head. Just when Ais thought Primis wanted to pat her, wisps of magic was released from his hand and entered Ais's mind. It not only got rid of her mental and physical fatigue but also filled her magic reserve to the peak. Once done, Primis removed his hand. Ais checked herself and confirmed that she had restored to her peak state.

Ais: Thanks, My Lord.

Primis nodded and walked to Lili and Haruhime. Because of the commotion, they will wake up soon. But he still wanted them to rest a bit more before continuing. Hence, once he reached them, he sent them back into deep slumber. Next, he called Ais.

Primis: Come here, Ais. I will teach you a way which can help you train yourself even when you are resting.

Ais: REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Ais became excited hearing this. If she could train even while resting, then she can become stronger faster. Seeing her excited her, Primis shook his head.

Primis: Don't get overexcited. The current you can only use this once a day. And that time too you need a catalyst which I will give you now. So, come here.

Ais obeyed and came in front. Primis eyes then directly looked into Ais's eyes. The 3-tomoes started rotating fast as boundless power released from them. Since Ais didn't put a least bit of guard against Primis, in the next second, her eyes turned blank and Primis got full control over her brain. Well, even if she had tried to resist, nothing would have changed.

Anyway, that power completely covered every part of Ais brain leaving not a single spot and merged with it completely. Then he also put the information of the technique in Ais's mind using his power as a bridge. Since this is not a skill or something, Ais can use it without much problem. After 2 mins, Primis was done and gave the control back to Ais. Light returned in Ais's eyes as she held her head.

She can tell that a foreign power had merged with her brain. No. Not foreign. But Primis power. The power had completely merge and it can't be removed ever. But Ais didn't mind. Then she sensed a new information in her brain. She read it and awe expression appeared on her face. Now she understood what technique Primis was talking about.

Ais: My Lord, this is----

Primis: Extreme Image Training. That's what I was talking about. It's a completely new version of Imagine training.

[You created it by using your Elemental Sight.]

'Primis: Yes.'

Primis: As I said before, the current you can only use it once a day and for 1 min. But that 1 min in the outside world will be 10 days inside your mind. All the experience you will gain in those ten days will be real. Not only that, but you will also experience the pain you feel when you get injured. So, don't think of it as 'just' some Image Training.

Ais nodded her head with serious expressions.

Primis: One more thing. You can also die during in this. Even though you will revive in the next second. The experience of death will still remain vivid in your mind. Don't let it break your spirit. You can start now.

Ais nodded again and sat down on the ground. Next, she closed her eyes to initiate Image Training. The power of Primis which was merged with Ais's brain released its splendor and worked as a catalyst to help her.

Ais opened her eyes. She found herself present in the dungeon with no one in sight. The area was a lot bigger than before.

Then suddenly in front of her, Juggernaut appeared. It looked same as before but when Ais looked around the area again, she realized this place was made to give more advantage to Juggernaut. Understanding this, Ais put extreme serious expression on her face and drew out her "Lambent Light" before pointing it towards Juggernaut.

Ais: This time, I won't lose.

Primis looked at Ais who was sitting on the floor and had already initiated her "Extreme Image Training". While he was doing that Sheng Ming approached him.

Sheng Ming: Husband, can you teach this technique to me too?

Primis raised his eyebrow a little before speaking.

Primis: I can. But why do you need it? Unlike Ais you have a whole different level of experience, and you are already Level 10.

Sheng Ming: That's true. But Husband, this technique can't be used just to gain fighting experience. It can also use for other training. Like, I can use it to improve my cooking.

Primis chuckled listening this. What Sheng Ming said was not wrong. So, he felt no need of denying her request.

Primis: Come here.

Sheng Ming: Yes.

Sheng Ming stood in front of Primis. Both their eyes met as 3-tomoes of Sharingan started rotating again. And since Sheng Ming also never put a single guard against Primis, she also blanked out like Ais. Control of her brain fell on Primis hand as his power started to merge with it. After some time when the merge was complete, Primis withdrew his power from her mind as Sheng Ming regained control. She also held her head before smiling at Primis.

Ais: Arg!!!!!

At this time, Ais painful voice was heard. They turned their gaze at Ais who came out after completing her training. She was very tired after doing it. It was as if she didn't sleep for days. Primis appeared in front of her and started healing her. Once done, Ais stood up again.

Primis: So, how times you win?

Ais: ...…10.

Primis: ......How many times you died?

Ais: ...............more than 3-300 times.

Primis: ............

Sheng Ming: .........…

Both Primis and Sheng Ming looked at Ais who was trying hard to hide her embarrassment. Primis then rubbed his forehead and Sheng Ming showed a wry smile.

Primis: So, you died at least 30 times and barely win 1 time per day, during those 10 days.

Ais: Y-Yes.

Primis took a deep sigh before shaking his head.

Primis: Forget it. I can tell you are stronger that before. That's all that matter for now.

Sheng Ming: Yes. You don't need to feel too dejected, Little Sister.

Seeing that they were not angry, Ais took a sigh of relief before agreeing with them.

Ais: Mn.

'Primis: Now then.'

{Primis: How is it?}

{Ophis: I am still connected but it's not responding like before.}

Primis frowned hearing this.

'Primis: What's going on? Why the Will of dungeon still didn't respond even when I took away the Juggernaut.'

{Primis: Anything else?}

{Ophis: No.}

{Primis: I see.}

'Primis: Looks like something is wrong with Dungeon. I need to take a look at it in future.'

Everyone became silent again. They were waiting till Lili and Haruhime wake up. Sheng Ming didn't initiate her "Extreme Image Training" because compared to Ais, she can use it for 10 times a day and for 15 minutes each. Means 150 days for every single use. Or 1500 days for all ten uses per day. However, since she wanted to use it to improve her cooking rather than fighting, she didn't need to use all of it or practice every day. She could take her time.

Soon time went by and its finally time for Lili and Haruhime to wake up.

Realizing that they will wake up any minute now, Primis took others and left again.

Haruhime: Mu...…...

Lili: Oh......

When they woke up, they rubbed their sleepy eyes and stretched their bodies. It felt like they had been sleeping for ages. Then they looked around. At first, they were confused before they remembered what happened before they fell asleep. All their drowsiness disappeared in an instant and serious expression returned on their face again when they realized that they were still in dungeon.

Then they looked at themselves and confirmed that they were completely healed now. Haruhime also checked her arm which was re-attacheded to her shoulder by Primis. Confirming that she wasn't feeling any discomfort from it, she nodded.

Next both their gaze fell at the side where a new dagger and folding fan was placed. Since the last ones got chirped and cracked after their fight with blue crab, Primis replaced them with new one. Though they were still normal dagger and folding fan like before. Lili and Haruhime picked them and moved to find another monster. They already knew that it's Primis who healed them and now they can continue.

Primis others again watched Lili and Haruhime from the sky. Their next target was again another blue crab. Though they took care of it better than before. They still got very injured, but it was not to the point where Haruhime had to lose her arm again. When they were done, Primis appeared in front of them again. Healed them both mentally and physically and gave them new weapon again before leaving again.

This kept on going till it was the time to end their today's expenditure. Lili and Haruhime fought different monsters aside of blue crab. Like Aqua Serpent. A monster with a snake head and light-green scales that can reach 10 meters long. Killing it was slightly easier than blue crab because Aqua Serpent defense wasn't as strong as blue crab's metal body.

They fought Devil Mosquitos. A monster that attached itself to Adventurers body and sucked their blood. They were mostly in colony. Haruhime first used her Ice Magic and frozen them for a minute. Lili then threw giant rocks on them and killed them. That fight was difficult because those Devil mosquitos just kept on coming whenever they killed some. Sometimes they even needed to run because they were out of magic.

They also encountered a monster which almost killed them on the spot. Light Quartz. Purple crystal monster in the shape and size of a buckler with a yellow eye in the center. It attacked them with beams of light from distance. My using their brains and strategies, they succeeded in finding an escape route.

Last but not the least Crystaroth Urchin. A blue, ball-shaped monster with sharp needles growing from it. It spined towards them at high speed, destroying its surroundings with its needles, and to eats its prey with its round mouth which is full of fangs. That was not something Lili and Haruhime coul fight against and escaped from. So, Primis told Ais took care of it who it killed in an instant.

Now that they were done, they were leaving. Primis was walking in front while Lili and Haruhime were following behind. The aura radiated from their body and their gaze had become a lot sharper than before.

Primis: So, how did you feel fighting in this floor?

Lili and Haruhime narrowed their eyes and thought about the best way to describe it.

Lili: It's like we were walking on a thin rope all this time.

Haruhime: Yes. The very rope which could snap at any moment.

Primis smiled hearing this. They really explained their situation perfectly. Sheng Ming and Ais glanced at them with corner of their eyes.

'Sheng Ming & Ais: At least they are completely aware about their situation.'

[In the last month of struggle, not only did they become stronger, but they also matured a lot.]

'Primis: They do.'
