Ultimately, this monster isn't very strong; its level is only around 4. Its only problem is its highly corrosive venom.

But adventurers like Ais and William, who can imbue magic, are the natural enemies of this kind of monster.

The venom couldn't penetrate their protective magic, and their large bodies couldn't escape the attacks from the magic imbued in their weapons.

"Professor Vilia, after I clear the area, I'll trouble you to temporarily seal the cave with magic!"

William's eyes were fixed on the graceful figure that flickered among the monsters.

Sizzle—!

The rapier, imbued with wind magic, mercilessly tore through the worms. Ais alone managed to stop the advance of hundreds and thousands of worms.

The worms seemed to have a clear understanding of this situation, and they all gave up moving forward, trying to melt away the obstacle in front of them first.

Bang bang—!

The venom sprayed simultaneously by several worms on the periphery of the battlefield formed an impenetrable venom barrier that enveloped Ais, who was located in the center of the battlefield. Their irrational actions even included the worms surrounding Ais in their attack range.

"Ais, come to me!"

William, who had already reached the outer edge of the worm swarm, shouted at Ais, who was wrapped in wind magic and rampaging through the poisonous net.

Ais, who was trapped in the encirclement, had no intention of continuing the fight. After hearing William's shout, she quickly withdrew and retreated in a straight line towards William's position.

All the monsters that blocked her path and forced her to retreat were cleaved in two by her violent wind magic.

"William, what are you going to do?"

Ais, who had retreated to William's side, was panting slightly. The fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her somewhat disheveled hair indicated that she had not been entirely at ease in the battle just now.

"Of course, we'll clear the area all at once!"

William's tense expression, which had been fixed on him ever since the monsters attacked, began to relax.

'Lightning Gun'

A deep blue magic circle unfolded directly above the horde of monsters and rapidly expanded to cover the entire battlefield.

The worms seemed to sense the desolate and chilling aura, and following their biological instincts, they moved their bodies in all directions, attempting to escape the magic circle's coverage.

"Too bad, I'm very fast!"

A spearhead, resembling a long spear, slowly emerged from the magic circle, extending from the spearhead to the shaft and finally to the handle.

Then, these thirty or forty spears, like real lightning, seemed to possess their own speed, falling downwards at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The retreating worms were engulfed by the fierce barrage of lightning spears.

Unlike the previous "Rain of Lightning," which relied on the total number of projectiles to achieve victory, William's magic this time had the power of a level 3 mage using a single-target attack spell at full strength for each lightning spear.

Awooooo!

Countless explosions and the agonizing screams of worms, like broken gongs, mingled together on the battlefield.

The worms' obese bodies were shattered in the dazzling light, and despite having only thirty or forty lightning spears, they created a landscape effect like a sea of ​​lightning caused by a "rain of lightning".

The thunderous roar of the lightning spears, the rising and scattering dust, and the craters that sank into the ground like the surface of the moon.

The sight before them caused the fairy troops, who had already retreated to the rear of the battlefield, to all have convulsed faces and be unable to utter a word.

William did not stop immediately; the silvery tip of his spear pointed directly at the dark, gloomy cave.

"Electromagnetic Railgun"

The deep blue beam of light once again swept across the passage, and the worms that were still struggling to crawl out were instantly reduced to ashes by the magical light.

"Ecstasy: Fimbulb Winter"

Rivilia, seizing the perfect opportunity, unleashed his ice magic for the third time today, creating countless meters of solid ice in the passageway's chamber.

This time, Riviria used almost all of her magic, and the hardness of the ice she created was incomparable to the ice blocks she had created before.

Even for a worm that is adept at corroding solutions, melting this ice wall in a short time would not be an easy task.

"Ais, let's go back!"

After William and Ais returned to the group, Finn quickly made the decision to return to the ground after a brief discussion.

Since the Loki Familia had only reached the 50th floor before choosing to return to the ground, and they had also chosen to march quickly when they came in, and had discarded a lot of unnecessary food, they needed to carry even less.

So when they went back, their marching speed was much faster than when they came. In just three days, they had already reached the 10th floor!

"Wow, I'm so disappointed. I finally made it to the 50th floor after all that hard work."

"So this is how we end up going back!"

"Idiot, everyone's out of weapons. Do you expect to fight those monsters empty-handed?!"

Werewolf Bert directly confronted Tiona, who had been complaining ever since the refund started from floor 50.

Of course, this is also part of Bert and the Amazon sisters' daily life. If the three of them were not arguing with each other, people would feel a little uneasy.

“That’s right, Tiona!”

"Everyone's weapons are intact except for the captain's and Ais's; the rest are completely destroyed!"

"Not having a suitable weapon is a huge blow to our combat effectiveness!"

Unusually, Tiony didn't join her sister in confronting the werewolf, but instead analyzed the situation from a rational perspective!

Of course, this also ignores the little tricks she kept stealing glances at Finn's face after she finished speaking.

"Finally, these monsters are just too unfriendly to melee adventurers like us!"

"Moreover, this is our second failed expedition, and I have a feeling that our clan is about to fall into a financial crisis again!"

Tiona stood with her hands behind her back, looking rather hopeless about the future.

The worm swarm attack caused the clan to lose about seventy or eighty of the magic swords they had purchased at great expense.

The archers had almost run out of arrows.

These are all fine!

The most serious damage was to the weapons of these adventurers from the first season!

Finn's Spear of Fortia, Grace's Great Axe, Tiony's Thoruas, and Tiona's Urga.

Just rebuilding these four Tier 1 weapons would require at least 500 million in francs.

Adding in all the other miscellaneous expenses, the Loki Familia's expedition will cost at least 8 million Families.

When Tiona mentioned this, Ais looked at her "Sword of Despair" with some melancholy, even though her weapon hadn't been completely melted.

However, due to this overuse, based on her extensive experience, the repair costs alone would be less than 1000 million fabulous to leave the "Ancient Platinum Button Family".

Moreover, she already had 3000 million yuan in outstanding debts. She originally wanted to use this expedition to pay off her debts in one fell swoop, but instead, she made matters worse by adding another debt to her already heavy burden.

"Next time I go on an expedition, I will bring a professional blacksmith with me, and I will also prepare weapons with indestructible properties!"

Finn, who had been at the front of the group, joined the discussion. The Familia had now completely entered the lower levels.

He no longer needs to be in charge of commanding the troops; all the work can be handed over to the hardworking Raul.

"This feels like another huge expense. I hope the clan won't go bankrupt!"

William also joined the discussion, but he was much more relaxed than the others who were struggling with financial difficulties.

Although he didn't make much money this time, he also didn't suffer any losses.

"Bankruptcy is definitely out of the question! But if the next expedition doesn't yield any results, then it's really hard to say!"

Finn shrugged, but his expression didn't look very relaxed.

……

Everyone stopped talking. All the adventurers of the Loki Familia looked at the scene before them and couldn't help but feel an urge to laugh.

Awoooooo!

The deep roar reverberated throughout the entire grotto.

It was a monster resembling a human, with copper-colored skin, muscular shoulders, and arms that bulged like thick ropes.

Their eyes, blood-red like jade and radiating murderous intent, left hoof-shaped tracks on the ground with each step they took.

This is one of the representative monsters of the upper levels, the Minotaur.

However, these monsters are only those who dominate the upper levels, and most of them have stats around level 2, with a few reaching level 3.

This is why the Loki Familia members have such strange expressions; a group of level 2 monsters have surrounded the Loki Familia.

"There's no other way! Everyone, let's go!"

Finn shook his head with a wry smile, and the other members raised their weapons, ready to attack.

One of the Minotaur facing William seemed to finally realize that the adventurers they had arrogantly surrounded were actually monsters far more terrifying than themselves.

Turning around, starting, and running away—this series of movements was as if it had been practiced a million times, incredibly skillful.

The roars they let out seemed to remind their companions, and all the monsters turned around in unison, as if their movements had been copied by a video camera, and ran away!

The unexpected turn of events left even the adventurers, who were already sharpening their swords, completely stunned!

"Everyone, hurry and chase after them!"

Riveria, who remained calm even when the worm swarm attacked, wavered for the first time and shouted before Finn could give the order.

William had been continuously releasing white lightning from his fingertips long before Riveria made his announcement, but there were just too many Minotaur. He felt like he had already fired thirty or forty times, but a few lucky monsters still managed to reach the passage leading to the upper level.

William, Ais, Bert, and the others immediately broke away from the main group of the clan and quickly entered the passage to pursue the Minotaur!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Minotaur are seen as lambs to the slaughter by the Loki Familia. They usually only roam the middle levels, but if they were to venture to the upper levels, it would be a complete disaster for level 1 adventurers.

While it can't be considered the responsibility of the Loki Familia, they would still feel guilty if someone lost their life because of it.

After all, those people are fellow adventurers, and they wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand if they could.
