'System can you tell me what my aptitude is or something?'

'So it did increase. Didn't know that was possible but it is described as 'impossibly high' so I guess the impossible is possible but only for me or something?' I thought as I looked over to Jayden who was strangling a wolf on the ground.
'There is 4 left. I'll just finish them off.' As I thought of using a couple wind arrows they just appeared and killed them all in an instant. Normally I would have to circulate my mana and give the mana 'commands' but now I only had to think and it would happen without the need to circulate my mana through its veins.
'Is it always circulating now or something?' I thought, checking my body to sense the mana inside.
It seemed I was correct as the mana inside my veins were constantly on the move, unlike before, and I didn't even realise. I didn't need to consciously circulate it and it would just do so by itself which would help me out quite a bit.

< You have killed 11 fire dire wolves >
< You have gained 143 EXP >

'13 EXP per wolf.' I thought as I tossed Adonis into the air which then transformed back into its 'original' form back in the palm of my right hand.
"Let's go back to everyone else now we are done." Tess said with a smile before running back to Scarlet.
"Okay." I said as I followed behind her but, unlike her, I was walking.
We made it back to the group and Catherine was busy laughing away with everyone else staring at her like she had lost her mind.
"Ah- Kiera, everyone, you're back! Are we going to be moving right away?" Mio said as he looked over at us.
"I don't mind. Do whatever." I said.
My palms were covered with blood so I used my fire magic to burn it off, "I'd rather stay moving though." I said dusting my hands off by wiping them together.
"Everyone?" Mio said looking around her seeing what everyone else's opinion was.
"I don't mind."
"We can move if you want.."
"Whatever the majority says."
"I say we keep moving."
"I want to kill more monsters!"
"Whatever Kiera is up for."
"Okay then we will continue moving. Kiera, do you have an idea of where the boss could be since you have managed to track down multiple monsters by now." Scarlet asked me.
"Let's me see.." I looked around while scanning my surroundings with [Mastered spacial awareness].
'The strongest monster I can find in my spacial awareness is fire orcs and cursed corpses. Seeing that this is a fire based dungeon then I have a feeling it could be a fire orc but their levels seem too low for that. Well let's just check out both.'
"There should be some cursed corpses about 2 and a half miles away from us to the north-east and there are some fire orcs also in that general direction but at a distance of 3.7 miles from my current position." I said turning to face Scarlet.
"Right.. how do you know that when they are far away?" Scarlet asked looking confused.
"Let's just say instinct." I replied as I began walking to where I located the cursed corpses.
Iris spoke up, "Kiera you must have incredibly strong senses for that to happen. Even though I know you're strong but knowing the amount of monsters at a long distance away is astounding." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
".. I guess."
We began walking, yet again, on the dry and cracked ground towards the north-east in hopes of finding the boss of this dungeon.
"If you wanted us to get stronger then why not let us kill the majority of monsters in this dungeon before killing the boss?" Catherine asked.
"I feel that it's best to find out what sort of monster we are dealing with and it's roughly assumed strength so we can work at maximum efficiency. I was planning on getting you lot to kill a whole lot more monsters than we have already." Scarlet smirked.
"I see.. well whatever! I'll probably just sit out on killing the monsters anyway so yay me!" Catherine said with a laugh.
"Do you not wish to increase your strength at all?" Jayden asked.
"I don't really mind how strong I get. It doesn't matter as long as I am happy with what I have currently." Catherine said.
"That's so stupid, you should want to push yourself and grow. I'm always wanting to improve my strength and look at me now!" Jayden said looking proud about his strength.
"If that's how I'll end up when I grow stronger than I'd rather not." Catherine laughed and stuck out her tongue.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
..
"We need to stay down and make minimal movement if you don't want them noticing us." I whispered and everyone followed my instructions.
"You probably already know but I'll inform you all anyway, cursed corpses are essentially zombies that have different classes. These classes all give them boosts according to what that class focuses on. For example, an assassin, spy, thief or rogue along with some other classes will have increased speed and stealth compared to the regular cursed corpse. For a swordsman it'll be increased stamina and strength while a mage will have increase MP. Of course there are more classes then the ones I have named but I'd rather not list them all.
Since this is more of a base for these cursed corpses there are many of them, 185 to be exact. The ones we should take out first will be the mages since they can cast magic quickly along with enhance their allies making it harder to take them down. Three people will work on that. Then comes the ones with ranged weapons such as bows, crossbows an ballistas that are on the walls surrounding their base. We should take them out swiftly. Make sure while killing the cursed corpses that you stay silent and make it a quick death for them before moving on to not draw in attention. After that is done then start picking off the ones that are away from others and once someone is spotted then we all just charge in and kill them all. Any complaints or points you can improve on?" I asked.
"Who shall go for the mages and who goes for the ones with ranged weaponry?" Catherine asked, "Also if possible can I just not fight and stay here? I want to observe. I'm not good in group battles or facing against multiple enemies."
"Can you use a bow?" I asked.
"Yes? I can use one, why?"
"Then stay hidden in some bushes and shoot the ones on the walls. The three people going for the mages will be myself, Mio and Iris since they are probably the most tricky to deal with and we are the strongest here. Taking them out should be simple with our affinities. Everyone else I also want you killing of the ones with ranged weaponry and make sure you do so with minimal sounds. Especially you Jayden, don't draw attention to yourselves." I said as I slowly got up.
"Scarlet, do what you want. I can't tell you what to do since you are my teacher anyway. Mio, Iris let's get moving." I said as I darted off while using [Flash steps] to avoid glances from the cursed corpses and air magic on the bottom of my shoes to make sure I made no sound.
"Damn she was off quick." Mio said.
"Yeah, we should go too. I doubt we could do that though so just run at full speed to the walls." Iris said before dashing forwards with Mio next to her.
