Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

As the celestial fetus opened its eyes, the life force that had spread into a misty sphere of light was completely collected, concentrated, and channeled into Xia Er's body.

A layer of alternating gold and black veil formed on Xia Er's body.

Charles stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the giant who had just risen and let out a terrifying roar: "Overlord... remember my name."

"I am the end!"

The jet-black giant blade was swung out at this moment, and a huge black and gold light band formed between the Sharl and the giant.

The light in the cave was instantly swallowed up, and the world seemed to fall into darkness in an instant.

The next moment, in the empty void, a blinding light rose up, like the origin of the universe, followed by a huge tremor and a deafening roar.

The giant melted.

Squeak squeak squeak————

Thick smoke rose, obstructing everyone's view.

When Lily finally got used to the light pollution, what came into view was the Wailing Wall split in two, and a bottomless abyss.

Charl stood before the apocalyptic landscape, his body billowing with steam, sword in hand.

"Is this... Lord Shariel's true power? One strike and... Is he really level 1?"

on the stage.

Charles turned his head at a 45-degree angle, his gaze sweeping over Chardo, whose expression was obscured by his lowered head.

"Overlord, how was this strike?"

Chardo's shoulders trembled slightly, he lowered his head and covered his face, and then...

"Heh, heh heh, haha, hahahahaha."

It felt like a sense of relief, or perhaps like seeing another ending to the story.

If I were healthy, I would have been just as impressive in that battle!

"You dare to eat the body parts of that thing! Fine, I'll admit it then!"

Ciel curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Chardo paused for a moment, then extended his palm with a playful expression and said, "Come on, then be my son!"

Ciel's confident expression froze: ...No? This isn't right!

Chardo laughed heartily: "What, didn't you say I was your Uncle Wang next door?"

Ciel: "I #￥%……&"

"Hahaha."

Chardo's hearty laughter echoed through the quiet labyrinth.

When the adventurers of Rivera noticed the violent tremors on the 17th floor and went to investigate, they only saw a bottomless, enormous chasm.

"Damn, which level one adventurer with an excess of mental energy is using a cannon to kill a mosquito here?"

"Even a level 1 character couldn't achieve this effect; it would need to be at least level 6."

"Hey, where did this level 6 mage come from in Orario?"

"..."

"No, this is bad... We'd better... We have to leave quickly. If it's a monster..."

All adventurers who had seen this chasm kept their mouths shut. As a result, in the near future, rumors of "ghost adventurers who hate giants" spread throughout the city and the dungeon.

……

ground.

Loki family.

Rivera crossed her arms, holding Ais's update report in her hand, and stomped her feet angrily.

"Explain yourself, how did this 'all attributes F-rank (300)' happen in just five days?"

Raul knelt on the ground with his head down, covered in cold sweat and dared not utter a sound.

Ais tilted her head back and said, "The dragon has been defeated."

“Dragon? What dragon?” Riveria closed her eyes and her eyebrows twitched.

Raul lowered his head even further, muttering with a laugh, "Amphispina..."

"What? I remember Ais can't swim, so why is she going to the Water City? And..." Rivera's murderous gaze fell on Raul: "Is this how you supervise Ais?"

Raul prostrated himself: "I'm so sorry, I... I'm too weak, I can't keep up with Essan's pace at all."

Ais retorted, "It's not Raul's fault."

Rivera grabbed Ais's ear: "Of course not! Tell me, how did you, who can't swim, manage to kill the two-headed dragon?"

Ais winced in pain but refused to admit defeat, saying, "We used a tornado to destroy the parking lot!"

With that, Ais broke free from Riveria and silently uttered "Awaken!" Two whirlwinds rose beneath her feet, and she took a step forward, strolling across the pool in the center of the settlement.

The whirlwind reduced Ais's body weight, allowing her to easily speed across the water.

"Hmph—" Riveria snorted coldly.

Although she was angry, she was equally surprised by Ais's progress.

Especially the way magic is used...

Changing the attack pattern of magic is an ability that only high-ranking mages can master.

"Who taught you this?"

Ais smiled slightly: "A secret recipe from my hometown—"

Rivera's icy gaze swept over Raul.

Raul shuddered and recalled, "There was a very reliable senior in the team who was with Ais, it was probably him..."

Chapter 66 The World Gradually Shifting

"senior?"

"Ah, it seems to be a member of the goddess Demeter's kin, a powerful adventurer," Raul recalled.

“The Demeter Familia?” Finn, who was watching the show from the side, raised an eyebrow: “The Demeter Familia doesn’t have any adventurers above level 1.”

"Huh?" Raul was stunned for a second.

"But... Uncle Charles is very strong. He's almost no match for the monsters in the Great Tree Maze. He's also very knowledgeable, and seems to be a very experienced adventurer."

"Is his name Charles?" Finn pondered over various acquaintances.

“It’s a very common name, but not one of the adventurers we’re familiar with. It’s probably a pseudonym,” Grace interjected.

Finn: "A pseudonym?"

Rivera took a deep breath and looked at Finn: "Looks like another cowardly rat hiding in the shadows. Are you sure?"

"Huh?" Raul was dumbfounded. "But, apart from his strange quirks, Uncle Charles doesn't have any bad intentions. We're back safely."

Grace: "A fetish?"

Raul scratched his face: "It's said that they like to eat the excrement of living things, and... they like young girls?"

Everyone: "..."

Finn rubbed his temples and pressed, "Who else was with you?"

Raul: "The Freya Familia's warriors... seem to be healers. That leaves the employer and supporter, Miss Palum."

Finn: "What's the content of the commission?"

Raul: "...Search for usable ingredients in the dungeons. Record and study them."

“Oh—” Finn raised an eyebrow: “That’s a novel request. Is it from a researcher from the Magic Kingdom, or a scholar who graduated from the school district?”

Seemingly, Raul became more talkative when the topic turned to something interesting: "Captain, we've had quite a haul on this trip. We've tasted a lot of delicious monster meat along the way. Once you overcome that initial aversion and actually try it, many monsters taste pretty good."

"Really?" Finn seemed slightly surprised. "Is it research that has already yielded some results?"

Ais licked her lips: "Dragon liver, oh dear."

Raul sighed, "If we were stronger, we wouldn't have stopped at the Water City. Food is even rarer in the deeper levels. If we make a breakthrough, our clan won't have to worry about supplies for our expeditions anymore."

Rivera landed a light punch on Raul's head: "I never agreed to let you enter a place like the Water City! Ais can't even swim!"

"sorry----"

Finn waved his hand: "Alright, Riveria, no matter what, Ais is back safe and sound. She's not only stronger, but she's also gained a lot of information."

He stroked his chin: "What's worth noting is which Charles... food, pica, powerful... I hope it's not the one I'm thinking of."

Grace's pupils widened: "You mean...that guy?...No way, what's he doing back in the city at this time?"

Finn sighed, "Don't be nervous, we don't have any real conflict with him. Maybe he's just passing by... or maybe we've got it wrong."

Rivera lowered her eyelids: "I hope so."

Raul opened his mouth, about to ask about the "talking monster"...

"Aistan! ~~~~ I miss you so much~~~" Loki exclaimed from behind.

Immediately following, with a thud, the heavy object fell to the ground.

Raul shut his mouth...

I almost forgot! I also have a mission to save the world! There are some secrets that Loki absolutely must not know!
