The Goliath exploded into pieces.

A smile curled in my face as I quickly reemerged, my body being melted away by its internal acid as my Poison Attribute Skill leveled up, and at the same time, I acquired Acid Resistance. Well, that's a nice thing.

Ding!

[The Level of the [Poison Resistance: Lv5] Skill has Leveled up to Level 6!]

[The Level of the [Poison Resistance: Lv6] Skill has Leveled up to Level 7!]

[The Level of the [Poison Resistance: Lv7] Skill has Leveled up to Level 8!]

[You learned the [Acid Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]

[The Level of the [Acid Resistance: Lv1] Skill has Leveled up to Level 2!]

[The Level of the [Acid Resistance: Lv2] Skill has Leveled up to Level 3!]

[The Level of the [Acid Resistance: Lv3] Skill has Leveled up to Level 4!]

"Oh damn, I guess getting completely melted does help at the end! And oof my HP is going down like crazy. Purification!"

FLASH!

I quickly restructured my body, cutting away all the melted parts and then devouring the rest of the acid, as I managed to recover within five seconds, the HP and MP I stole from the enormous bug was put to good use, certainly.

"Everyone, we have to target the interior of their bodies, they're surprisingly soft inside!" I said. "Watch out for the acid though!" I told to everyone, as I was crushing the monstrous bugs that flew to my way, the little ones though.

I quickly decided to go assist everyone else as they sucked at tanking poison and acid except the ones that made magic barriers, which was pretty smart but I liked to melt away sometimes just to get new Skills. If you do it once you can do it again, as they say.

Like that, I combined my strength with everyone else, especially the Egos, as I imbued them with the power of my skills, Daos, and elements, and transformed them into their enormous forms. Combining their strength, all four were capable of slaying the Goliaths by piercing through their bodies, but it take a while, so I had to (with everyone else) to still blast the other giants by filling their stomachs with deadly magic spells that can blast entire countries.

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!

And after a few minutes, four other Goliaths exploded into pieces at long last. Everyone was covered on bug juice and acid, which I quickly cleansed using Purification so they wouldn't get hurt more than necessary. The smaller bugs were taken care more carefreely. We had already slain over four hundred of them so dealing with these guys wasn't that big of a deal anymore.

Ultimately, the second wave was cleared successfully, just as planned.

Yeah… I totally planned this.

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated [Giant Horned Mountain Black Beetle (C+ Rank)] x223]

[You Defeated [Titan Horned Mountain Black Beetle Goliath (B+ Rank)] x5]

[Calculating EXP earned…]

[You earned 7925000 EXP]

[Your Level has increased from Level 46 to level 47!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 47 to level 48!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You gained Bonus Skill Points and Stat Points!]

[Some Skills have Leveled Up!]

[You learned the [Monster Exterminator: Lv1] Title Skill!]

[Monster Exterminator: Lv1]

A powerful Title Skill that only those that have hunted over ten thousand Monsters can learn, by killing more monsters, this Title Skill can level up and grow even stronger. As long as the user possess this Title Skill, all damage dealt against Monsters is increased by +50%, with an additional +10% with each Skill Level, and both Physical and Magical Defense is ignored by -20%. Additionally, earned EXP by slaying Monsters is increased by +100%.

What the hell? This is some Elite Skill! I need to kill ten thousand monster to get it, huh. It is indeed a massive achievement; I give you that. With this I get double EXP from monsters too? That simple?! Well, I am already getting increased EXP from other Skills I have when I started in here, so I guess this'll add up to that.

I do remember the twin Desert Elves getting this Skill at high Level, did they got it after slaying so many monsters over their lives since they were kids? I do remember they went to the dungeon risking their lives daily. I guess they're so secretly strong due to this. Probably Luminous got something similar if he's as old as I imagine.

We quickly gathered with everyone once more, as we set up a small camp over a small cave we found, everyone wanted to take a small break now.

"Hahh… Hahhh… Ugh, I am beat…" Brunhild sighed. "I've overused my Mana for a bit too long, I am so hungry too…"

"I guess it is part of overusing Mana." Said Fiere.

"For now let's clean all this nasty spell. [Grand Purification]!" Luminous said, imbuing light everywhere and cleaning all of us.

Me, already in my humanoid shape, quickly took out several things from my Item Box and began cooking some skewered meat, making some stew, baking some potatoes, and roasting a massive monster for Brunhild's big, big appetite.

As the one with the Cooking Skill at high Level and even the Mister Chef Title, it is my duty to cook for everyone! Also, I am a mama that spoils her family with delicious food, so of course I can cook the best food there is out there.

"She's moving so fast; I can barely keep up to her movements…!" Said Sol.

"Ugh, I also have the Cooking Skill, but I am so tired…" Fiere sighed. "She's moving so amazingly fast and professionally, even as a Maid that always has cooked for her lady, I cannot compare."

"T-This food smells so nice!" Brunhild said.

In a flash, a full course of food was done.

"And done, time to dig in!" I said, as everyone quickly began to jump into the food, celebrating a delicious meal after an arduous leveling work. I joined with everyone and decided to relax.

All while waiting for the Queen Beetle's next move. She's also pretty close now. We might as well go exterminate her after we are done with this and get the last bit of EXP before we move to the next horde of monsters we'll randomly come across.

Heheh, you're not going anywhere, EXP bag.
