What can we do? It’s not like we can attack them, after all. It was only a random fluke that I was able to kill the ones that attacked my dungeon; I’m not sure I could pull that off again, especially if they came in numbers like that. The one consolation she could see was that the red-colored monster person was too large to even fit through her tunnels, so she didn’t have to worry about it. Granted, it wasn’t much comfort considering how dangerous the others were.
No one had an answer, and the silence inside of her Core Room quickly became oppressive. Without saying another word, only giving out a long sigh, the Head Instructor used his Translocation ability to disappear with a *pop*.
That just left Shale and Tacca’s Core alone, and the depressive thoughts that seemed to submerge both of them in a tidal wave of disappointment.

Unimaginable pain abruptly ripped through her Core, so powerful that Tacca thought she was about to shatter. The agony felt as if it lasted forever, but in reality it probably only lasted a few moments; regardless, it was the suddenness of it that took her by surprise and left her unprepared for the shock of torturous pain.
“…Tacca! A…...ay? …ppened?”
The world slowly came back into focus and her thoughts were sluggish, and she could barely make out a voice she recognized shouting something. After another few minutes, she was able to fully concentrate on her Core Room, as well as her frantic Dungeon Assistant fluttering around her Core.
“Tacca? Are you there? What’s going on?”
I…I’m here. I’m not sure—wait. Give me a moment.
She concentrated on the notification she had received, which had been pushed to the corner of her mind after the horrific torment she had just endured.
I…increased my Assistant Rank?
With all of the things going on lately, what with creating a place for the Raiders to live, to working on her new section, to the disturbing battle she had witnessed between the invaders and Raiders, she had completely forgotten that her year to another increase in Dungeon Assistant Ranking was coming up. At the back of her mind, she knew about it, but it had also been a bit overshadowed with other concerns.
She pulled up her Dungeon Assistant Information in order to see what had changed, while at the same time being glad that the pain had passed. For now, she only felt a little uncomfortable, like she was wearing a Mood Dress that was too small for her.

What the…? Two of the great benefits of increasing her Rank to Expert Stage 4 was the additional Fairy Mana she had access to (1,350 FM), as well as its regeneration rate (55 FM per minute). It was unfortunate that she hadn’t been able to reach Expert Stage 5, the same as Shale, but she knew that her 95% reduction in Core Improvement gains at the start of her existence as a Core had reduced the amount of Experience she had received as an Assistant, but Shale hadn’t suffered from that. Now that things were more even, she would progress just as quickly in the future.
Regardless, Stage 4 still meant she could finally use her Translocation ability – which she absolutely didn’t want to try unless she had no other choice, after hearing what happened to those Cores that Malachite had moved around; in addition, she also had access to 8 new abilities!
Some of them were self-explanatory, such as the Flame Wall being able to create a wall of flames that would surround her core, the Blinding Flash which would create an extremely bright light that would blind anyone looking at it, the Light Cage which formed a large cage of pure bars of light that could trap just about any person within it for as long as her FM held out (though, she doubted it would work against those monstrous invaders), or the Shattering Icicle, which created and then exploded a chunk of ice that would be propelled out from a chosen location like little icicles.
What wasn’t so self-explanatory, however, were the other 4 abilities she had gained. When she concentrated on Mass Confusion, she found that it was something that would affect her entire dungeon, causing—what else?—everything inside to suffer from debilitating confusion – even her own creatures.
Leadership was a sustainable ability that increased the Creature Level of any creatures within two rooms of her current location by 2 full Levels. That could be quite useful if she needed to strengthen her Werewolf Warrior or the Forest Wolves inside her Boss Room, for instance.
