The Axolotl was rather easy to defeat once you survived its initial attack. Without mana and a rather weak body, the Axolotl died to a single strike from Bak's magic attack.
After that, Bak pulled the mana stone from the beast's body toward him with magic.
"It was quite weak physically," he said amusingly. "Hopefully, we keep getting that monster."
"Well that's unfortunate," Ning said. "There is another centipede to fight. Who wants to try their hands at it this time around? Or should I fight it again?"
"I will," Kim said. "I have to earn my share of the mana stone anyway."
"Great!" Ning aid. "It's just in front of us."
Kim moved ahead a bit and stopped before turning around. "How do you know there is a centipede there?" she asked.
"I know where every beast is in this dungeon," Ning said. "I could tell you all right now, but there is no fun in that."
"We're not here to have fun. It's a life or death situation," Lee said.
"Well, you might not be, but I surely am," Ning said. "If it wasn't for fun, I would've cleared the dungeon already."
They all frowned when they heard that. Kim was the only one who saw the truth in those words and how frightening that made Ning. Given how fast Ning had cleared the S-rank dungeon to get that fruit, if he was taking his time with this dungeon, then it was because he did not worry about anything at all.
To begin with, if he could easily defeat any SS-ranked beast with a single touch or easily purge any poison and toxin from himself, or know a vast amount of knowledge about every beast they came across, what was the point of worrying?
Kim sighed and turned around before going forward. As she did, a centipede did come out from the ground, looming over her with its height.
All of a sudden, dark energy poured out from her feet, turning the entire water black. From the black water came a bone spike that landed on the clear water.
Another such spike arrived and landed on another side. More and more spikes continued coming, totaling 8 in the end. Once all 8 bone spikes were out, they pushed on the ground, and out came a massive bone spider about half the size of the standing Centipede.
Ning got confused for a second. 'Spiders don't have bones though,' he thought as he stared at the thing that Kim had summoned. 'It looks like she has bone summons, so this must not be something that naturally exists. Did she just make it out of the exoskeleton of a spider?'
However, when looking at the spider, he couldn't see anything that looked like a spider. It in fact did look like what a spider's skeleton would look like if it did have a skeleton.
There was a hollow skull where the eyes went, ribs on its chest, and a vertebra that went all the way to the back. The legs were separated into multiple bones that worked together like normal bones would in a normal limb with bones.
The spider moved with incredible grace, laying bone webs on the ground before approaching the centipede.

The centipede moved to attack the thing that moved. It slammed against the spider, but the spider wasn't hurt as badly as one would've thought.
There were cracks around its body, but other than that, it could move around perfectly, with not a single problem. It laid its bone webs around the centipede, catching it in its web.
However, it wasn't strong enough to kill the beast, so out of the darkness below Kim came out two bone knights riding horses of bones.
They charged toward the centipede and started attacking it. To Ning's surprise, these knights were strong enough to cut through the dragonscales and kill the centipede.
Ning stared at the bloody skeleton knights and some parts of their bodies didn't make sense from a biological perspective. They had bones that humans should not have.
'What's going on system?' he asked. 'What are her powers exactly?'
<She is capable of creating beings in the image of monsters and beasts that she has scanned with one of her spells. She can then summon the beast made up of bone using the image she gathered.>
<The design of the monsters is mostly dependent on the knowledge of the summoner, so the reason for the weird-looking summons is just her lack of knowledge about a beast's bone structure or lack thereof.>
"I see," Ning said softly to himself, finally understanding what was going on. "Do you think she has a number on how many she can make?"
<There can be as many as she wants, but the restriction lies in the fact that she consumes mana every time she makes one. The stronger the beast, the more mana she uses, so while she can make many, there is a limit.>
'Hmm, that's still quite good,' Ning thought.
After the centipede was lost and the mana stone was acquired, the group continued moving. Ning once again had to heal Park since he was being poisoned. Not only him, but the others were also starting to get affected too, so he quickly healed them as well.
The group of Apostles looked both surprised and confused at the fact that he was using the high-grade spell so many times. They wondered where he was getting all the mana from.
The next monster they came across was a blue-scaled lizard perched on a giant, rotting tree. Even with just a look, one could tell that the lizard was poisonous.
"Don't kill this one," Soo-Yun said. "I can charm it and have it fight for us. Just give me a few minutes."
Ning suddenly chuckled. "I'm afraid we don't have such free time," he said. Soo-Yun turned angrily to say that she deserved to fight as well when she saw that Ning was looking somewhere else.
Then they heard it, the flapping of massive wings. Even through the haze, the group could see it.
