Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Alright, you guys go back to the ground now."

Hyde glanced at Lily's enormous backpack. Inside, Maru was clutching the remaining ingredients, drooling uncontrollably.

"What should we do with that thing? Bring it back to the surface?"

Charles frankly stated, "These are rare ingredients. I'll use my connections in Rivera to get them to the ground. You guys go ahead."

Hyde seemed thoughtful. Rivera was indeed engaging in some illegal activities, and it would be inappropriate for Loki and Freya's Familia to be involved.

"Should I contact the beast tamers of the Ganesha Familia? If it's for long-term care..."

"No need, I'll go back by myself, thank you."

"Take care."

Charles waved his hand and said, "Aren't you going to give me a farewell gift? We've spent a week together, after all."

Hyde swayed her pink twin tails: "What do you want?"

"Any magic will do, it'll be a blessing. May it protect me and help me return safely to the ground."

Hayid nodded.

Saya Gulvid

Golden light fell upon Charles.

"The magic lasts for four hours, and if you are injured during this time, the healing effect will be triggered automatically."

"Thank you."

Charles smiled and declined the monster materials requested for this mission. He gave half of the magical citrus fruits he had been making along the way to Chardo, and the rest of the group received five each.

He then bid farewell to his teammates one by one.

"Lord Ciel, are you really going to bring the monster to the surface?" Lily looked at Ciel curiously. "Do you have any special methods?"

"No," Charles admitted.

"That……"

"Let's go somewhere."

"Eh?"

After circling around Rivera, using the proof of the Soma Familia's vice-captain, I retrieved several bottles of renewal potions. As dusk approached...

Ciel and Lily quietly left the town and embarked on the tunnel leading to the 17th floor.

Lily stood bewildered at the edge of the Wailing Wall.

"Lord Ciel?"

Charles stopped and stood still with his eyes closed.

Time passed second by second, and the next time the ability was refreshed was getting closer and closer.

A moment later, as if sensing something, Charles suddenly shouted, "Come out. I know you're here."

"Huh?" Lily looked around in confusion.

With the crisp sound of combat boots landing, a familiar soldier gradually appeared not far away.

"How did you know I was here?" Chardo asked curiously.

"I don't know, I was just trying to find out." Charles turned his head and said frankly, "I didn't expect that someone would actually follow me."

Chardo: "..."

"Speak, what is your purpose in following me?" Charles stared at the former overlord and said calmly, "Mr. [Gluttony] Chardo, a former leader of Zeus's kin and the great hero who defeated Behemoth."

“You guessed it after all.” Chardo’s eyes sharpened and turned cold. “Then you should also know why I’m here.”

"Huh?" Lily stared at Charles's face, then widened her eyes to look at the strange old man they had spent almost five days with, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Eh eh eh eh eh eh?"

A former king who left the city suddenly and secretly returned—such a major event, and Lily and her friends actually witnessed it? Lord Ciel has seen through someone's disguise, and now he's definitely going to silence them!

Level 7, you're dead... definitely dead.

Lily collapsed to the ground, saying, "Sir... Ciel."

"Ok?"

"You're right, knowing too much can lead to a quick death."

"Good to know. So you have to keep the secret to yourself, right, Uncle Chardo?"

"Hmm?" Chardo blinked, his killing intent wavering, almost breaking through his defenses.

"uncle?"

"That's right. Aren't you my father's long-lost brother who found me, the only heir of the family, before he died, so that I could inherit billions of dollars and reach the pinnacle of life?"

"what?"

Charles spread his hands at Lily: "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. I'm actually a billionaire?! I'll inherit the entire Zeus Familia's legacy?"

Lily's eyes widened, and her legs stopped shaking.

"Amazing!"

How could he possibly be associated with such an important figure?

She suddenly felt that her deputy commander had changed; he had become incredibly handsome!

Lily hugged Charles's leg: "I also feel that you are like my long-lost father!"

Chardo covered his face: "Hey, when did I become your uncle?"

Xia Er's little face turned serious: "Then how come I have the same skills as you? You know, the same skills only appear among members of the same clan or blood relatives. Wait a minute? Could it be that you're actually Uncle Wang from next door? Should I call you godfather or dad?"

“Me!!@＃￥%…” Chardo was completely bewildered.

Having spent half his life on the battlefield, he had only ever suffered such a great loss at the hands of Charles.

"Hahahaha, you brat." Chardo suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting. Facing a tyrant, you can still talk and laugh. That's truly commendable courage."

Chardo's expression turned serious: "Have you considered the consequences?"

Charles, hands in his pockets, stared directly at him without flinching: "You're nothing but a defeated general clinging to life. Now that things have come to this, you still dare to call yourself a hegemon?!"

Before Chardo could refute, a tremendous tremor erupted within the cave, and with a deafening roar, the entire Wall of Sighs emitted a crisp cracking sound.

jump----

The boulder shattered, as if a giant hand had violently destroyed it from within the wall.

"They're here!" Charles's eyes gleamed. "The new era has no ship to carry you! Overlord, let me show you the grandeur of the new generation!"

Charles held out his hand to Chardo: "Give me your knife!"

"You brat!" Chardo chuckled, unsheathing the massive blade from his back and hurling it, which embedded itself three feet into the ground. "Don't end up not even able to pull my sword out!"

"What a joke! My heroic tale has only just begun!"

Charles gripped the hilt of the giant blade with one hand, and with the other, he pulled out a light brown liquid and drank it all in one gulp.

Chapter 65 What do you say about being "instantly killed"?

boom------

All surrounding sounds disappeared, and time seemed to stand still.

The moment the medicine entered her throat, the back of her body emitted a scorching heat, setting her clothes ablaze.

Incite—Incite—Incite—

Charles felt his heart pounding at an alarming rate, his blood boiling rapidly, and his body feeling as if it were about to explode.

The same is true.

Just like the Wailing Wall is in its current state, Ciel's body is also cracking, with an unusual black light flashing inside his blood vessels, meandering and swirling on the surface of his skin.

Hyid's pre-set healing magic was activated first, and a large amount of white smoke boiled around Sharl's body.

"Ughh ...

"Ugh! Oh! Oh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Two roars, one loud and one soft, echoed simultaneously in the hall.

Lily was terrified and ran away, quickly hiding behind a boulder hundreds of meters away.

The next second, the rock strata shattered, and a gray giant, seven or eight meters tall, broke through the rock wall and staggered out.

“Go, Goliath! It’s the floor master… Goliath!” Lily recalled the guild’s records; the last raid was exactly two weeks ago!

"Lord Ciel, was your initial goal really 'The Lone King of the Labyrinth'? That's too reckless! Lord Ciel is only level 1, isn't he?"

The giant before him seemed not to exist. Chardo's face was filled with horror, his eyes fixed on the still roaring Ciel:

"You taste different! What did you eat?! You madman, what did you eat?"

At this moment, the scent emanating from Charles had already given Chardo a slight sense of danger, a feeling that was truly absurd for a level 1 to have.

Chardo's eyes widened, as if he had returned to that battlefield: "This taste... is..."

Charles turned his head, revealing a ferocious smile: "Don't stop me! Overlord, I'll let you relive the power of the end! Hahaha..."

With a forceful squeeze of his five fingers, jet-black scales crawled up his wrist, his muscles bulged, and his blood burned and burst.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"

He drew his sword and gathered his strength, his dark battle aura burning and surging around him.

As his power continued to rise, Ciel's body also collapsed in tandem.

"madamada! (It's not over yet!)"

Inside the backpack, an orange orb sensed the danger, and a mysterious, miraculous power began to nourish Ciel. The rich life energy it had absorbed from the [Magic Citrus] for a week was now dissipating without restraint, repairing Ciel's shattered body.

"Father, Father!"
