"Mr. Baili, may I take this?"
"Discovering and utilizing items can also be considered a form of combat, so let's bring them along."
"Ok!"
Asia quickly opened the map and tried to confirm everyone's location.
Not only her, but Mai Sakurajima also made a new discovery.
To the right of the dead adventurers, there is a bag with many signs of wear and tear, but it is still sturdy.
"Use this to store magic stones, Rias. It's inconvenient to hold them directly in your hand, and your backpack is already full."
"kindness."
Rias put all the large magic stone she had initially obtained, as well as the magic stone that the long-haired goblin had dropped, into the container.
After a brief rest, the group moved deeper into the underground city once again.
Halfway there, while looking at the map, Asia suddenly thought of a question.
"Why weren't the monsters around those adventurers killed? We should still be on the upper levels, there are markers here... just the fifth level."
The monsters on the upper levels are all weak.
It is a hunting and training floor for many adventurers, especially newcomers.
However, the team was wiped out by the monsters, which was clearly abnormal.
“Mr. Baili, this map only marks the floors, not the path we’re currently on…”
Asia quickly realized this.
"A hidden passage?"
Baili thought for a moment.
Logically speaking, the upper levels should have already been developed and explored by Orario's adventurers.
Furthermore, in the setting, the upper areas near the surface are under the powerful influence of Uranus's divine power, so the dungeons are so ineffective that they can't even groan, let alone experience any abnormal situations.
The discovery of a hidden road that had not been investigated is quite unusual.
"Does that mean we're expanding into new areas?"
Rias became interested.
She doesn't dislike adventure.
"If that's the case, we must take it even more seriously."
Carrying a bag containing magic stones, Mai Sakurajima began to cautiously observe her surroundings.
However, according to the map of Asia.
The exact location is uncertain, but it is certain that everyone is still on the fifth floor.
"Let's keep going. This dungeon looks interesting."
Like Rias, Baili wanted to investigate this matter further.
Mai and Asia had no objections and continued their exploration along the underground city's corridors.
The dungeon is currently very quiet without the need for lighting.
It gives you the feeling of strolling through a tourist attraction...
"The rocks here are so beautiful."
Asia saw a crystal.
It was encased in stalactite-like formations, as dazzling as a jewel atop a mountain.
"The prettier something is, the more dangerous it is."
Mai Sakurajima offered a reminder from the side.
These words made Asia immediately stop in her tracks and not approach any further.
"There... should be a road ahead?"
Rias, who was leading the charge, called for everyone to come over.
Baili came to Rias's side and saw a vertical cave.
This time, the dungeon's built-in lighting did not illuminate the surrounding space.
Because the area below is covered in fog.
"I can go and check it out first. [You! Delete ball private: Dove 7 private group]"
Mai Sakurajima made this suggestion.
Rias nodded and then created a movement array.
"Please be careful."
"Don't worry, the enemy's attacks have no effect on me."
The very confident Mai Sakurajima activated her ability ahead of time, separating herself from this world and stepping onto the magic circle, where she was sent to the lower level of the Vertical Cave by Rias.
Although Baili could directly blow away the fog below, he still wanted to see how the girls would solve the problem.
At the same time, Mai Sakurajima, who had descended to the lower level, shouted to the people above.
"The visibility below is good. This fog comes from something like a fountain in the corner, so the fog is all floating upwards."
After Mai Sakurajima said those words, she suddenly realized something.
"Wait a minute, the fountains have stopped!"
Thanks to this, the fog that had been obscuring the view quickly dissipated.
replaced by--
The entire space began to shake.
Hyakuri, Rias, and Asia saw Mai standing in the center of a plaza constructed of a vortex. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
The hot spring in the corner, which had stopped gushing, began to sprout again like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Mai, who was about to lose her footing, was immediately teleported into the air by Rias using a magic circle.
next moment……
The ground shattered completely, and a colossal creature rose from the ground.
“————!!!”
The monster, whose body was made entirely of stone, let out a hoarse roar.
"Golem?"
Baili could clearly see what the monster looked like.
Its body was enormous, almost filling the entire space.
The stalagmites covering their surfaces began to exhale a cold, frosty vapor, different from the mist.
Golem's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by its powerful force.
"Roar!!!"
It raised its heavy arm and let out another deafening roar that echoed through several underground floors.
However, no one backed down in the face of the seemingly powerful monster.
"It's the floor owner, let's take it down."
Baili issued the order.
Mai Sakurajima activated both her combat skills and finishing moves simultaneously.
One of the invisible blows severed Golem's raised arm before he could react!
Looking at the severed limbs, Graeme opened his mouth and exhaled a chilling aura that froze the entire area.
"This kind of attack is useless against me."
With the blessing of the world of selflessness, Mai Sakurajima, being in another dimension, was unaffected.
The ethereal combat technique struck once more, cleaving Golem in two at the waist.
This time, Golem intends to unleash his breath again.
"You don't have a second chance."
Rias, who was on the upper level, released magic.
The flaming spear, a fusion of demonic magic and destiny's energy, roared as it pierced through Golem's head!
The terrifying heat was enough to melt any substance, and Golem's head instantly vanished.
Its body was severely damaged, and cracks appeared all over Golem's body before it finally exploded!
The fragments, large and small, became clones emanating cold air and miasma.
Just as these things were about to besiege Mai, holy light erupted in the already brightly lit dungeon.
Asia's purifying power covered the battlefield, engulfing the remaining fragmented bodies of the Golems until they completely collapsed.
The so-called floor owner only survived for less than ten seconds...
The Destiny Walkers under Baili's command are being used to deal with these monsters, which is a waste of their talents.
The only thing one can really practice is adaptability.
Despite this, Asia showed an excited expression.
"This time, the release of power feels different from before."
The blonde girl smiled and said
"It feels very comfortable."
"Me too……!"
Rias chimed in, agreeing with the same idea.
