As Vale searched around for materials, she noticed that the wall in the cave had a spot that was unusually outlined. Walking up to the wall and placing her hand on the rock that jutted out the most, the wall began to sink into the ground as it was a hidden door. Behind the false-wall was a Chest nudged neatly into the small space. Vale reached down and opened the chest and found a decent little set of items, including materials and col. This martial artists luck was starting to shine. She quickly put all the items she gained into her inventory and stood back up. Pulling her arm off the wall the door slowly rose again and fit back in meld with the wall. Afterwards Vale watched as the outline slowly dissipated, "Huh, so each chest randomizes where the secret door is. That's pretty nifty." She told herself as she continued forward, making sure to step over the cracks that seeped out of a small amount of lava.

Vale looked down the winding path, It had reached a straight point so she could see the exit despite it being a long distance away. Just as Vale was making her way down the slight slope, she felt that immense pressure again. Far in the distance, a Hellhound began to walk out of the lava. Vale's eyes widened as the beast looked at Vale with rage in it's mind. The beast began to fire blast after blast of lava globes at her. Deftly the feline woman dashed and danced around every single attack. Her passive portion of the charge skill giving her enough speed to move around the beasts long distance attacks. She didn't care that she was technically at a disadvantage. All she needed to do was close the gap in order to launch herself for a devastating attack.

Vale got closer and closer until she was finally in range. The feeling of difference between the passive ability of the charge and when activatable, felt like two completely different power surges. Vale moved so fast she was practically teleporting with her sheer speed, More and more globes thrown in an attempt to hit her all still fruitless as the first. Vale managed to maneuver herself just to the side of the dog, planting her fist with as much force as she could provide. The beast yelped and sprayed the woman with lava spit. It knocked the feline down to the ground while the beast continued to slide from the impact of the attack. Some distance created between the two, but her charge skill now used up. Vale would have to play safe when fighting this beast as her health was starting to hit the half way point.

The Neko looked back at the beast seeing as its momentum had finally stopped, she sighed, "Why can't these beasts ever give it a rest with the lava, they're going to burn all my armor off!" She yelled in irritation. Returning to the passive portion part of the speed gained by charge, she narrowly dodged another lava globe thrown at her. Bouncing, dashing, darting, moving around like a panther would when playing with its prey. The beast attempted every possible way to hit the girl, spraying vats of lava and hurling large globes of it in her direction. Nothing seemed to be even getting close to touching her, with the constant movement she got herself into the blind spot of the beast. Dashing forward she unleashed another powerful punch into the hiney of the hellhound. She laughed as she landed while the dog buckled away a small amount before careening into a wall.

The beast was outraged that it was being made a fool of by a tiny cat-like girl. It churned all the possible lava it had in its stomach, unleashing a torrent of lava being sprayed from its mouth. The Catgirl couldn't even think about dodging due to the distance this spell was getting. She was having to dodge further and further away in order to stay out of the singing damage it would cause. After a few moments of constantly regurgitating lava at harming projectile speeds. The beast began to cough and stopped its attack. Finally allowing Vale a moment to breath and assess the situation as it was currently at. The beast had its limits which she learned from the prior two beasts, but the power boost this essence was giving the beasts was enough to cause Vale to have to give her best foot forward. She quickly decided on what her next course of action would be.

The beast still didn't stand a chance despite it giving it's all. The Hellhound wheezed as it tried to erupt more lava from its mouth, but the beast was done. The essence faded off the creature just as Vale drove the final punch into the face of the beast causing it to explode into data particles. She looked at the entrance of the next area. The Infernal Caverns themselves. It was at that moment she heard the bone-chilling scream of Cerberus himself. And based on the fact that this essence had been following her, and she had yet to feel the gaze of the essence come off her. She knew that the Cerberus fight, would be just as problematic, if not more of a situation than it already is. She calmed her nerves for a moment, she handled the empowered Hellhounds, now all she needed to do was finish off the Cerberus and head home for the night.

Vale pulled open her inventory, if she were going to combat the Cerberus. And if things were going to be the way she was just dealing with when facing the Hellhounds, she needed to be at her most optimal in order to defeat the enemy. Vale hunted through her inventory of consumables a fair amount she had recently obtained. She grabbed the Honing Fog potion and immediately crushed it in between her violently sharp claws. The fog that dispersed from the potion that shattered began to sharpen the blades on the claws improving her damage output a slight amount. When the fog dissipated, the martial artist began sifting through her inventory again so she could find another item that would be of benefit to her.

Vale found another thing she had recently obtained from the Blood in the Sand quest, when she killed the named shark Bloodseeker. She took the potion and doused her armor in the sandy concoction. The particles moved in a strange way until they wrapped around her body, she could feel the squeeze the potion activated in order to hone her defenses even higher. She couldn't remember if the Boss was able to ignore Mitigation, or if the boss just had hard hitting attacks. Regardless the Neko girl wanted to make sure that she was definitely able to take a hit. Afterwards she would sift through the currently equipped screen and moved the active stats from the bell that resided on her neck, to the cloak that she had sitting in her inventory. The beauty was inspected by Shield and came out to have a rare enhancement not many in this world had gotten ahold of yet.

Vale had already done a number of stat differences with the small changes in equipment and potions used to help boost her skill up to the maximum so she would have the best chance of surviving. Vale nodded at herself at took one last potion from her inventory, this was one that she had to drink rather than the others which needed to douse and shimmer on items. Vale took a deep breath before downing the disgusting tasting drink, the Bandit's guile potion slid down her throat nastily and left the girl feeling like she was going to puke. But she managed to down the entire drink without upchucking any of it, "Note to self, find something that'll make drinks taste better. That was an experience I hope I never have again." She mentioned to herself while trying to get the chill in the back of her spine to dissipate.

Vale saw the three headed beast immediate as she entered the Infernal Cavern. The beast towered over her in a much more grand way than the previous Hell Hounds did. This boss looked like it had been empowered too as she could see the flowing red energy that had been following her up until this point. She changed the way her eyes viewed the beast, "You're nothing but meat, waiting to be hung." She said in a chilling voice. Immediately she disappeared flash stepping with her charge skill activated. With her left leg charged up with her strongest AOE attack. She spun upside in the air smacking all three faces simultaneously and knocking the massive beast into the wall with it unable to get a single bite off on her. Vale landed on the ground and readied to move as lava globes were getting spit at her at three times the interval.

Vale was toying with the vastly more powerful beast. Despite it being able to deal far more damage to her than the previous three hellhounds combined. The fact that the beast's full hp was split three ways and in a way she could abuse the mechanics of the game. She grinned, "You took hold of a beast that powerful, but still cannot manage to figure out how to defeat me." She taunted the essence that had attached itself to the beast, "You are unworthy still young cat. But there is potential." The voice echoed in the chamber, she being the only possible player on the entire ninth floor for the entire day meant she was sure. That this essence was indeed following her and testing her by making her trials when she was alone to be more difficult. Another flash a blasts from the Cerberus, and Vale darted through the attacks until she could clobber all three faces with the force behind a single punch. Knocking the beast back into the wall once more, but placing her far closer.

While Vale was drifting in the air near the Cerberus, the leftmost head looked at her and charged a full power Lava Beam. Unable to get an angle on the rest of the Cerberus heads, Vale had to resort to a single target attack. Using the force behind her Delayed sword technique, she axe kicked down with virulent strength and put the first Cerberus Head out of commission. Afterwards, she backflipped onto the ground and landed within paw swiping range of the beast. With one head laying limp the other two heads attempted to try to maul her with their massive claws. Each swipe at the ground proving as pointless as the last. Vale was far too fast, strong, and ready for this battle for the Cerberus to even have a chance. There was nothing for the Cerberus to do but sit here and get toyed with someone as adept at fighting as Vale was.

The beast took one last attempt at trying to obliterate the frisky feline, but she was prepared for it. Launching up towards the face of the giant puppy, she began twisting into her Crescent Moon technique. And just as the beast came down with its paws at full force, it's two remaining heads got slammed simultaneously with a sweeping foot. The damage enough to push the beast over the numbers and send the creature to its firey grave. The rewards weren't nearly as nice as the hellhound she had defeated earlier. But there was no sense in complaining, she managed to do everything necessary to complete her quest. Now all that was there to remain was the trek that leads back to town. She looked around for the presence but she could no longer tell whether or not she was being watched by that essence. Thinking that she could no longer tell, she assumed the essence was gone for now.

Vale looked around the area where Cerberus was slain, there resided no materials in the ore deposits or various crystals. The lava caused the heat to be intense enough to bother the eyesight of Vale. Her search for materials always seemed rather difficult without her lucky bell stats activated. Vale opened up the equipment screen and re-allocated Vale's items that were granting bonuses to improve her material searching ability. The girl was smart to figure out how to micromanage her equipment to benefit the most out of any situation. With her stats confirmed, Vale closed her inventory and began walking toward town, another day and a half trek was in store for her. Since she was no longer in a rush, she could relax and stroll her way to town instead of constantly rushing out.

Now with the quest parameters out of the way, all Vale needed to do was relax and look through the bushes thoroughly. It would be efforts and times like this she would normally see her vision improving with her effort into raising the Search and Detect skill. The woman saw a small bush with a few flame wing butterflies fluttered around, she approached causing the butterflies to scatter off. There she saw a flower excreting combustible sap, the Neko took a vial from out of her inventory and began to collect the sap. After she got a sufficient enough of it since it came out of the flower slowly, she corked the bottle and put it into her inventory. She felt so at peace when she saw the fruits of her labor during herbalism, all this effort would pay off for her Alchemy profession.

The girl still had some ways to go until her search and detect skill was mastered, she was hoping her recent encounter with the cook Ryo down on the first floor would be a strong boon for the two of them. She already had order idea's she wanted to get. Thus the need for a plethora of materials regardless of the tier was important for both her, and the things she could get from him. Although she had collected a large amount of the materials, there were still times she was finding complete bupkiss. Not a single things around her was worth enough to her for alchemical purposes. There were flowers and other things that could be collected, but they'd be a wasted effort and almost certainly turn into disgusting goo. Something that happens more times than she cares to admit.

The fact that she was coming across a lot of materials worth more to artisans and blacksmiths, Vale did not stop trying to search for materials that were useful to her. While searching about she saw a crack in the wall the was large enough she could fit her arm in. Inside the hole in the wall, was a small crystal cluster growing in that spot. Vale squeezed her chest up against the wall and fit her paw into the spot so she could reach the crystals. Her paw only managed to get wrapped around one, Vale thought that was good enough for this and decided to leave the rest for someone else, "Maybe someone else needs those crystals more than I do. I'll just take a single one with me for now." She smiled to herself happy with the choices she makes in life. She thought it was a small thing she could do to help others out.

After Vale got her crystal out from the wall, she noticed that she had actually managed to pull two that were stuck together. She felt as though she were being rewarded for her generosity. Putting the two crystals in her inventory, she made her way toward the bridge entrance. It wasn't super dark inside due to the walls having holes to allow the light of the lava in. She stretched, the entire area and the feeling of the floor itself was far calmer than she would have expected. The intensity that was building up with her trip out to the Infernal Cavern, it was hard to picture the trip back being so leisurely. The mobs had been slain over and over, and not many respawned in this area. With the rest of her journey having no problems to worry about, she stretched and walked peacefully in a slow strut stride.

When Vale approached the entrance of the Bridge City, she looked off at the gargantuan river of flowing lava. The only thing she could think about at this moment was the impossibility it must have been building such a vast and intricate city, on top of a bridge, hovering over a massive river of lava. Just the thought of having to do the physical labor necessary for building that town was exhausting and overheating enough. The girl was already having heat waves in her vision no matter where she looked at. Wiping some sweat away from her forehead with her slightly scorched forearm, she chuckled, "The fights have been a lot of fun, nothing like what I faced when she was training in the various floors alone. Everything was beginning to change for her since she lost to the Gemini back on the sixth floor.

Her distracted mind over the events of the past week caused her to walk blindly in the exact direction that she was intending to go. Her body was on auto-pilot while she thought about the mobs that she had fought, the people she had met, and the relationships she had made be them personal or friendly. There was just so much change from the times of before, she was prone to having fits of isolationism, something she would probably need to work on as to not worry Hikoru. With what she had started with him, there was no running off to be alone anymore, she had responsibilities. Vale needed to be a leader from her very core, and with the time she had invested into making herself as strong as she could be as fast as she could be. It was time to get serious about everything she wanted.
