For the most part of Ruby's following tactic for information of where is he leads to little results with mostly just information of this place, this place is called 'the underwater cave of poll' with it being a dungeon that consists of one big room that is estimated to be over 300 meters squared.

(3 and a half football pitches long by 6 and a half football pitches wide equaling the estimated area of 23 football pitches)

When Ruby heard this, she felt shocked from the fact her birthing place was a dungeon but this just gave her a new goal, to escape the dungeon.

While Ruby was tailing the trio she kept there status screens open, in-front of her so if they become super weak they she would attack without notice, luckily by doing this she finds a weakness to them,

(Ruby): -Their helmets are what seems to allow them to breath underwater but for it use it there mana is drained, this means if they don't turn back before hitting the halfway point of there mana they would be easier to kill then wouldn't they-

literally right after realized she thought this she contemplated of why in the world was she thinking like that, was it her inner monster, or was it just that she sees the trio as large lumps of EXP, but there is also the fact there in a dungeon so maybe it has the natural effect to make anything you see as food, who knows but at this time Ruby's first and only objective is to level up to become stronger.

As she was contemplating this the mana of Lucas (of the trio) just went past the turning point signalling that they should retreat.

But they did not.

. . .

After a while Henrietta's mana did the same but they still didn't turn back. still curious to why they won't turn back ruby follows them closer, while following them.

. . .

as the mana of 'polos' was about to reach his turning point they walk onto an area that had darker sand below them, when ruby tries to follow them into this area, signals of fear shock though her body telling her to turn back and that there is a monstrous creature beyond this point, but to ruby this just makes her smile (in her mind since only clown fish smile) as this means she's found what every dungeon should have a 'boss', as Ruby swimming into the darkened sand area a message appears in-front of her.

you are entering the boss room of 'The Underwater Cave Of Poll' dungeon

boss: ' The Infection Algae, Poll'

victory's against: 548 / 753

(Ruby): -the boss is a plant? , that seems a bit weak for a dungeon boss isn't it?-

as she thinks this and following the trio till when she sees a series of 5 pillars that form a square with the fifth pillar in the center that reaches from the darkened sand to some where up above while the other 4 pillars join onto the main pillar creating a series of archways, nearly every point of the 5 pillars are fully covered in a green and purple moss like substance with large bubbles of both colors floating thought the archways forming a floating ring, and on the sand the moss is spread between the pillars sparingly creating a patch work of moss, and on the moss patches some purple leaf like plants have grown to the size that they are about the half that of a human.

From seeing this Ruby is in awe at the monster in-front of her, but she regains her senses as one of the leafy plants tries to reach for her, seeing this Ruby backs away and focuses her eyes on the middle pillar till a message appears to Ruby.

The Infection Algae, Poll

Level: 10health:2000/2000Mana:0/0stamina:0/0

Strength50Intelligence0

agility0endurance50

Boss skill: Fermentation

'Fermentation' is the skill that is unique to ' The Infection Algae, Poll ' were if any part of polls body touches living tissue, poll will infect it and will give a status effect at random from the following list;

poison, silence,paralyze, toxic, hallucinations or ???.The effect of 'Fermentation' lasts till ' The Infection Algae, Poll ' is defeated.

As Ruby looked at this stat screen she was just in awe that her heath isn't even a hundredth of the bosses, but also she was confused with the fact it has a lot of stats at 0, but when she contemplates that its a plant underwater, it won't need intelligence to think or agility to move.

(Polos): "ok, lets get this thing so we can leave with its loot, becareful of the leaves and those bubbles if they hit you, you'll get poisoned or worse, CHARGE!"

From Polos's speech both Henrietta and Lucas let out a battle-cry before charging at the algae with polos, quite stunned from there actions Ruby just floats there watching them fight a entity that they could never defeat.

she though this till Lucas did something that ruby never though of happening.

He set the moss on fire , while underwater!

When the trio charged the algae Ruby though that with his stats Lucas would be the first to die by he reversed it instantly by using the blue burning bush in his off hand on a pillar of the algae, it was extremely effective with the pillar being engulfed in mere seconds turning the once green archway into burning ring, also it seems the bubbles hovering around the main pillar thought the archways seemed to become smaller but a constant ring of bubbles as still maintained.

Once ruby looks at the status screen again, it shows that the original health of 2000 has bean decreased to 1700, so burning the pillar did 300 damage.

After the pillar was fully burned to the MP (main pillar) a loud ' SSSSSKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRR' is heard coming from the MP, with the scream the leafs start to grow larger and larger till there human size with them flailing about trying to find some prey.

After a while of the trio traveling to the second pillar, setting it on fire like the first and moving onto the 3rd pillar a problem arises from one of the leafs grazing Henrietta on the ankle, the leaf cuts thought her armor like butter and she stops moving with her arms drop down to her sides making her sword and shield fall onto the moss floor before she herself collapse to her knees, while immobile on the floor Henrietta starts rambling on about something involving 'pink pixies for her porridge'

(Ruby-Polos-Lucas) -yup hallucinations-

With there ally incapacitated behind them and only 2 of the 5 pillars gone, the trio were in a bad situation but after they realised Henrietta was just in a sense of hallucination the 2 forged on to defeat the boss.

But for Ruby this was a chance, slowly Ruby swam to Henrietta to not surprise her, then as Ruby was face to fish-face with Henrietta Ruby said a simple sentence in human language.

(Ruby): "ple-ease remo-e hal-met."

In her delusion Henrietta nodded before placing her hands on the turquoise helmet and taking it off.

As water filled her lungs Henrietta could only gargle as she drowned, while she drowned Ruby swam back to out of the range of the trio's, sorry duo's view when a 5 messages appear in-front of ruby

congratulations you gained 5 levels

access the status screen to allocate stat points

you have gained the title 'manipulator' for tricking someone to commit suicide.

when 'manipulator' is your title, its easier to trick people,

from killing of person you have followed without being spotted you

have gained the title 'silent stalker'.

you will gain 4 points in agility and 3 points in intelligence.

Since reaching level 10 as a red-eye goblin-fish(variant)

as the last sounds of Henrietta disappear ruby thinks while she goes back to hiding.

(Ruby): -all this from killing one human then what i get for killing the other two do for me must be great-
