Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Thank us. If it weren't for our friendship, you might not have made it back safely if you had stayed with them."

Ganu sneered: "That guy Hughes will probably take those newbies to the 6th floor today at a crucial moment, hehe."

The sixth level of the dungeon is a graveyard for newbies.

The monsters' overall attack methods and numbers have undergone a qualitative change, but...

You're probably not much better off.

Charles rolled his eyes and walked forward without saying a word.

"Hey? Big brother, this kid seems to have something going for him, actually ignoring you." The female ranger Emma said sarcastically.

“Just bluffing,” Link muttered.

“Let’s find out more about him. Lord Chanis didn’t look well yesterday. Although he said he would take good care of him, I’m not sure how to handle that.” Sven stroked his chin.

"If it's a rare skill like Fiora's, we can't beat even ten of them."

Sword Princess - Ais Wallenstein.

That was a madman who went straight to the 7th floor as soon as he became an adventurer.

Whenever these new stars emerge, Ganu and others lament their own incompetence.

Chapter 6 You are all my brothers!

The sun climbed above the horizon and shone on the streets of Orario.

Beneath the reflection of the Tower of Babel.

After the five of them ate breakfast with their dry rations, they quickly crossed West Street and arrived at the central courtyard, where some adventurer teams had already gathered. Xia Er looked up at the towering white chalk tower and then plunged into the entrance leading to the underground city.

Following the corridor that led down from the starting point, we soon entered the cramped and narrow interior of the cave.

In Ciel's memory, this wasn't his first time entering the dungeon. But it was Ciel's first time in his previous life, and the fact that their souls hadn't fully merged made him feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

He stopped.

"Hey. What's wrong? Don't waste time, hurry up and catch up!"

With a whoosh, Charles turned his head to dodge the stone that was kicked at him, which slammed into his backpack behind him with a thud.

The enormous impact caused Charles to lean back, and he felt a sharp pain as if the air was being pierced.

If you get hit, you'll definitely get a bloody head!

He narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the ranger Link who was about to attack.

"Hey, your aim is so bad. Why don't you quit being a ranger and become my support?"

Very well, you have found a way to die.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a habit. I'll be more careful next time." Link grinned and raised his hands in surrender.

After a brief test, Link became convinced that Charles was all bark and no bite, and thus his wicked nature was revealed.

“Who told you to walk so slowly?” Emma chimed in.

"Hurry up! Your two useless parents were eaten by monsters because they were too slow!" Sven's face showed a concerned smile, but his words were unexpectedly cold:

"Don't follow in their footsteps."

Charles brushed the dust off his shoulders.

The difference in the power of grace is too great; even just the difference between E and I is enough to crush me.

We can't let them keep testing us like this; we have to cause Lord Chanis some trouble.

Only when Lord Chanis encounters many troubles will there be an opportunity to prove to him who is truly the most trustworthy person by his side.

……

The fifth level of the underground city.

Charles followed quietly behind the four, skillfully using his memory to cut and retrieve the magic stones dropped by the monsters he killed along the way.

Occasionally, they would subconsciously follow their old habits and humiliate and manipulate Ciel.

"You're too slow, I'm going to leave you behind!"

"Oh, sorry, the monster ran past! Ciel, hang in there!"

"There are too many monsters! Sharl, go and distract them for a little while!"

"Sorry, the monster was too tough. Are you alright?"

While drinking, Xia Er triggered a skill that increased his durability and made him more resistant to damage.

In the process, Charles also realized a serious weakness in himself.

"I don't know any martial arts. I'm so-so at American Iaijutsu, but I'm too bad at wielding swords and spears."

When faced with charging giant frogs, they often end up covered in slime. If it weren't for the decent durability boost from their skills, they would have lost limbs long ago.

Xia Er squatted on the ground, skillfully digging out magic stones and picking up the spoils.

'Combat skills, to learn and master them, take at least ten years.'

He frowned, and it wasn't hard to guess why all adventurers before Ais had leveled up in three years or more.

'There's no time to think about that now. I can take Bell's example and focus on increasing my attributes first, then consider adding techniques later. My body in this life has a natural talent for dexterity, so I don't need to train too much, and it shouldn't be too weak.'

at the moment……

'Just get through puberty first.'

……

While Shire was dealing with the frog archer's corpse.

Swin and Ganu exchanged glances:

"You've discovered it, haven't you?"

“In the past, he probably wouldn’t have been able to stand up after that kind of attack.”

"Hmm, it's a skill that increases defense, right?"

"Ha, a punching bag that's even more durable is still just a punching bag!"

"Haha, I think they can not only be used as punching bags, but also as shields for us."

Along the way, Charles's demonstrated abilities gradually put Ganu and the others at ease.

They had already forgotten about Chanis's orders, and all they could think about was making more money.

In their view, it was just an extra useless skill, not worth Chanis's attention at all.

Sven sneered: "What does the boss mean?"

Ganu, with an axe stuck in his hair, stroked his long beard:

"Finding monsters to make money is too slow. Why don't we have that kid lure the monsters over here? We can also explore the lower floors while we're at it. I remember the guild has been buying Blue Demon Butterfly wings. If we're lucky enough to find one..."

Link: "Blue Demon Butterflies? Those are monsters you can only encounter near the food storage area. What if we get surrounded by monsters?"

Ganu scoffed, "Then let that kid be left to take the fall! Heh heh, with a new skill, he should be able to last even longer!"

The group exchanged glances and let out sinister, sneer-like laughs.

……

After the four finished their discussion, they waved to Charles, who was behind them.

The female ranger Emma bent down, gently stroking Charles's hair, and said softly, "You didn't secretly hide the spoils, did you?"

Charles retorted righteously, "You've misunderstood me. These are my dearest relatives and friends, my brothers and sisters! How could I possibly do something like hiding family property?"

Everyone was satisfied with Charles's attitude, but then Charles changed the subject:

"These all belong to Lord Chanis! I will hand them over to him for disposal without missing a single item!"

Everyone's face darkened.

"Lord Chanis would not be interested in such a thing."

"Really?" Charles stroked his chin.

"As expected, Lord Chanis is not interested in the loot from the fifth floor. Let's go find some rarer drops!"

Ganu and the others looked at each other again.

No, we were just about to scam you, how come you walked right into our trap?

Hopefully... nothing unexpected will happen.

Ciel's unconventional tactics made the four of them back down.

Sven tentatively asked, "Young man, what kind of gift do you think we should look for?"

Charles thought for a moment, then clapped his hands: "I know! It's the 'Blue Demon Butterfly Wings'! If it's a drop from such a rare monster, Lord Chanis will definitely love it."

"You would all be willing to swear allegiance to Lord Chanis!"

"Blue Demon Butterfly".

It is said that this butterfly monster appears on the 7th floor of the dungeon.

They have four transparent blue wings, and their flight is said to be so graceful that even adventurers can't help but stop and admire them.

The Blue Demon Butterfly has a beautiful appearance that doesn't resemble a monster, and it is also known as a "rare species" because it is extremely difficult to encounter.

Its drops are the main ingredients for making high-grade elixirs, and can also be used to brew wine!

Ganu opened his mouth. A single Blue Demon Butterfly wing is usually worth over 2000 Fali, and they usually appear in groups, at least five at a time.

In other words, if you're lucky, you can earn an extra 10,000 falies in one go.

This is the daily income of a seasoned level 1 adventure team!

Think of it...

"let's go!"
