The tamer and Bete's battle was at a standstill for a few seconds until the tamer decided to provoke the Werewolf, "Vanargand, I see that you came following after the Sword Princess!"

Bete stopped for a moment, "What did you do with Ais!?"

With a sneer, the tamer said, "My comrade is attending to her. She's probably getting tortured right now, after having her arm severed or something like th-!!"

Before he could even finish his words, however, a flurry of high-speed attacks came after him and the tamer had to defend himself with all his might, 'He became even faster...!?'

"I'll kill you." With words more intense than ever, Bete started to push the tamer back.

The tamer was notified inside his head that more Violas were already available and called them out to assist him, "Violas!"

The sudden increase of enemies pushed Bete back. Lefiya, on the other hand, started chanting her magic in hopes of getting the Violas' attention. However, the tamer commanded the monsters to focus only on Bete, "Forget the girl, Violas! Kill the Werewolf first!"

Without much choice, Filvis had to go out and assist Bete while Lefiya continued her chanting. Filvis wanted to assist Bete in dealing with the monsters, however, she found an opening against the tamer and started casting her magic, "Sweep, holy staff of crushing evil. Dio Thyrsos!"

A blast of golden lightning that came after the tamer, however, Bete could only see this as a wrong move, "That idiot!" Since he's battling with him, he knew just how resilient the tamer is and figured that Filvis' super short chant magic, even with the help of the Mage development ability, won't do any damage to her opponent.

And just as he expected, the tamer simply caught the magic with his bare hand and dashed towards Filvis, kicking her away, "Too weak!"

Filvis was disoriented, even so, she could still see the tamer following her with a follow up attack, "Die."

"Filvis-san!!!" Lefiya shouted in horror. But before the tamer could touch Filvis, Bete suddenly came beside her and kicked her away, resulting in him being in the attack trajectory of the tamer which is what he's aiming for all along, 'Oh great... I can't dodge it!'

But the tamer's expression suddenly changed as he took back his hand and bent backward. In that instant, a flash appeared and a wound took shape on his neck, "Hey, don't forget about me." Aika muttered with a sneer.

It was not a fatal wound. It was far from one, but the opening that Aika created was enough for Bete to counter-attack. Bete was able to overwhelm him for a moment, but the tamer took advantage of his incredibly durable body to catch all of his attacks in exchange for a single full power punch which broke both of Bete's dual daggers when he tried to block it, "Kuh!"

The tamer finally had an advantage, however, before he could do anything, Lefiya's magic finished. Although Lefiya is hesitating in firing it due to Bete's close proximity, with his signal, she finally knew what to do, "Arcs Ray!!"

A white blast of energy came out of Lefiya's staff and came near Bete and the tamer. The tamer knew that it was for him so he used his hands to block the magic again, "Seems like you haven't learned your lesson yet!!!"

However, contrary to his expression, the blast suddenly curved and missed him. It instead went towards Bete. More specifically, to his boots, Flosvirt.

The Flosvirt absorbed Lefiya's magic and used it to amplify his own power, "Well done." With a grin on his face, Bete aimed for the tamer's face, "Now die."

The tamer was blasted away and stopped at the wall of the pantry, destroying it. Even with his incredibly resilient body, he took multiple serious injuries. More importantly, the mask on his face was finally off.

The tamer stood up again and everyone could see his wounds healing rapidly despite not using any healing magic. The dust settled down and they could finally see his face. That, however, shocked them more than the healing itself, "...Vendetta Olivas Act!?" Asfi shouted in horror. It was too unexpected that a dead person was standing in front of them.

Even Yoruichi frowned as she already saw Olivas's portrait and if others are identifying him as such, then she has no reason to doubt that the person is Olivas, well, at least the body.

Once all the dust settled down, with his attire blown off due to the force of Bete's kick, most of his body was also revealed. Half of his body was made out of monster parts while in the middle of his chest is a richly-colored magic stone which is also found among the plant monsters. As it turns out, Olivas Act was revived from the nightmare of the 27th Floor.

Olivas revealed that he was revived by 'her' with the sole purpose of wanting to see the surface. Since then Olivas's main goal became the destruction of the Orario which acts as the lid to the Dungeon to keep monsters in.

Filvis, as the survivor of that nightmare, wanted to fight and kill Olivas, however, when she saw that Lefiya, one of the few people who accepted and reached out to her, was in trouble, she prioritized saving her. It's also her struggle to break the 'curse' of 'The Banshee.'

"Viscum! Crush everyone in here!" With his command, a gigantic plant monster, the same one that was parasitizing the pantry crystal, emerged from the ground. Just with its enormous size, a body slam from it could prove fatal to everyone. And along with this Viscum, 50 more Violas came out, trying to overwhelm everyone.

But just as Olivas thought that he already had the absolute advantage, a certain part of the wall exploded and the red-haired tamer was seen flying out from it in distress, "Revis!?" Olivas shouted.

From the same wall, a golden-haired girl walked out. Although there were cuts on her armor and she was catching her breath, Ais was relatively unscathed from their battle. A big difference compared to the time, when she couldn't even put up a fight against the red-haired tamer on the 18th Floor.

Bete, Lefiya, and the rest of the Hermes Familia sighed in relief when they saw her doing fine.

Olivas clicked his tongue on his 'comrade', "Are you just all talk, Revis? How pitiful."

The wounded Revis could only groan. Although her wounds are healing, it'll take some time for her to move to her full capacity again.

Olivas then turned to the Sword Princess' direction, "I wouldn't consider this little girl to be 'Aria', however, if 'she' desires it..."

"Stop!" Revis tried to warn him but Olivas only ignored her and raised his hand, "Viscum." Commanding the giant plant monster to attack Ais, "I doubt it'd be a problem if we bring back a dead body!"

"Ais-san!" Lefiya shouted in horror.

Even so, Ais's expression didn't change. Although she didn't step into Level 6, she still gained substantial excelia from defeating the Monster Rex of the 37th floor, Udaeus, alone.

And not just that, she admired the fighting style of Finn when he fought and overwhelmed Revis on the 18th floor which is focused on reading his opponent's next movement and precision. During her downtime after she returned from Kisuke's examination, she asked Finn how to improve her style and precision. As a genius sword user, which she inherited from her father, it only took her a day to improve immensely. This resulted in her defeating Revis quite easily.

But all this time, she restricted herself from using her wind. Not even using it in her battle against Revis. So when a giant monster came after her, she recalled Sona's words regarding her magic, 'Sharper... I have to make it sharper. Don't get constrained at the label. Use it however I want.'

Calming her mind, she gathered her magic power, "Here I come. 'Tempest'"

Activating her magic, she imagined her wind to go along with the blade of her sword and slashed towards the giant plant monster. A second later, a gust of wind passed through the monster and bisected it. Not just a genius sword user, but Ais was also a genius wind user.

The Corner:

28th00: We're at silver age comics level of Genius if it only took a day to improve that much, and it also shows just how lazy she's been with relying only on Levels… It's nice to see she's learning, and her improvement speed shows just how terrifying these high levels get when they're unconstrained by guidelines. It also shows how terrifying our group is compared to everyone else since they go the minmax route for parameters. You only gain excellia when you're in actual mortal danger though, right? Gonna be stupidly hard past floor 60 just to gain EXP.

Goyya: Another point is they can only reach such a high level compared to others because they have stats to back them up in the later game. No one with a G-D ranks stats could ever reach Level 5 because they are not capable of contending at that level.

Alexander: Well, not much to add from my side. However, I feel a little sad for a training/trolling arc being stolen.
