"How could I let you succeed?" Athena flew down from the sky, her holy sword ruthless.

She swung the ball fiercely, trying to knock it away, but the thing inside seemed to sense the danger. A dark figure ran out from inside and pounced on the people below. Aisya simply smashed the remaining empty shell to pieces.

"Tch," the woman scoffed. Ais and the others dodged the attack from the shadowy figure. The object thrown from the ball landed on a carnivorous plant on the ground, and then the plant began to deform.

A few seconds later, the man-eating plant transformed into a faceless humanoid monster covered in tentacles. It roared and unleashed countless vine-like tentacles from its abdomen, attacking those around it.

Upon seeing this, the Thousand Hands turned its dragon head and began to bombard that area. Aisya grabbed one of the people below and flew high, while the other was pulled away by Ais and ran far away.

At this moment, Chtholly flew over, looked at the alien enemy, and flew towards it. Then, countless tentacles appeared around the monster, trying to stop Chtholly.

However, Chtholly suddenly retreated a distance, then activated the Holy Sword, which flashed with a bright blue light, followed by a blue light blade flying towards the monster.

"What's that?" Asya exclaimed, looking at the attack she had never seen before. Landoruko flew over as well. "That looks like a blast magic. I wonder where Chtholly learned it from."

Senju turned his head and saw that the people fighting the man-eating flower had become members of the Loki Familia. He then stopped paying attention to that side and focused on the power of Chtholly's attack.

As the light blade flashed, the tentacles and the monster's body were split in two. However, the monster, now in two pieces, did not die and struggled to crawl to one side.

Unfortunately, Chtholly had always been dealing with monsters that kept respawning. When she saw it running away, she immediately chased after it and started hacking away wildly. In no time, she turned the escaped monster into ashes.

Seeing that she was surrounded, the woman below ran towards Ais, saying, "Although I don't know which one is Aria, your wind is definitely right."

Chapter 369 Occasionally Causing Trouble

Just as Senju was watching Chtholly suppress the entire scene, he suddenly had a thought and felt that William had returned to the space. He immediately opened the entrance in front of William.

"What happened?" William saw the open entrance in front of him and immediately realized what was going on. Then he saw the chaotic scene outside. "Honestly, it's turned into this after I was gone for a short while. Let's stretch our legs a bit."

As he said this, he charged towards the woman. After all, he could sense that she was the only one among the people present who was filled with malice, and her opponent, the blonde girl, was no match for her at all.

“Looks like I’m not too late,” William said, stepping in front of Ais and facing the woman. “Could you please stand there properly?”

"Hmph," the other party snorted coldly, raising his sword and charging towards William. William shook his head helplessly, and the magic power that had been activated earlier was immediately unleashed. In an instant, William disappeared without a trace, and then the next moment he grabbed the other party's sword. "To be honest, I don't really want to fight with a woman."

As he spoke, the two exerted their strength simultaneously, breaking the sword in two. William then easily dodged her kick and delivered a powerful blow, causing the woman to fall to the ground.

William ignored her, turned to look at Ais, and reached out his hand. "Are you alright?"

“It’s nothing,” Ais said, looking at William with a blank expression, as if she saw a familiar figure, the same clothes, the same figure, the same sword. “Father.”

“Haha,” William said, scratching his face sheepishly, “I didn’t expect my nickname to have spread so far.”

"Watch out, technician, that guy won't be knocked out so easily," Athena shouted as she flew over from the side. The woman on the ground immediately jumped up to dodge Athena's attack.

“Level 6, huh? It seems the situation is unfavorable. We have to retreat,” she said, looking at Ais. “If you want to know the truth, go to the 59th floor.”

After saying that, before anyone could react, she slammed her hand on the ground, and more than a dozen carnivorous plants immediately shot out from below. She was then sent flying far away by the attack of one of the carnivorous plants.

After Chtholly and her companions defeated the monster, they discovered that the woman had vanished, seemingly having escaped by using the nearby lake.

Seeing that the monster and the culprit had run away, everyone gathered together, and Finn, on behalf of the team, expressed his gratitude to Senju and the others.

"It was originally our mission, but in the end we have to rely on your help," Finn bowed to Senju, who waved his hand. "After all, it's a billion, cough cough, after all, you are Loki's kin, so it's only right that you help."

“Thank you very much, but we have decided to continue exploring downwards for a while. We would appreciate it if Lord Thousand Hands could go to the Loki Familia to complete this transaction,” Finn said, taking out paper and pen and writing something down. Although it was good to have a powerful friend, the most important thing was still one’s own strength.

After Finn finished writing, he handed it to Riveria, who also wrote on it. Then she put the letter in an envelope and handed it to Thousand Hands, saying, "The matter has been explained inside. Just give it to Loki."

"I see," Thousand Hands said as he took the letter. He was still a little afraid of Loki, that scoundrel, but the thought of two billion Faris gave him boundless courage.

Afterwards, Chtholly and the others returned to the space, and William told Senju about what would happen after they went back.

After the two separated, Wei

Under Bell's guidance, Lian quickly returned to the ground. Then, at Bell's recommendation, the two went to a hotel for some food, but there they saw two drunk people causing trouble, Chito and Yuri.

However, considering they were young girls, the landlady didn't make things too difficult for them. She simply had her men capture the two girls. But when Yuri saw the fierce-looking maids around her, she immediately led Chihiro out of the door and ran away. However, an elf followed them inside.

Bell stepped forward and explained for a while to clear up the misunderstanding. However, the proprietress left Bell in the shop, waiting for William to return the elf maid. William, of course, immediately returned to the space to try to find Chito and Yuri, and then had Chito release the elf maid.

After listening to William's explanation, Senju was speechless for a while. After searching around, he found Chito and Yuri sleeping soundly at home, with an elf maid hanging next to them, who seemed to be tied up with rope.

She seemed speechless as she looked at the two people sleeping soundly below, but with the help of the small props she had on her body, she slowly sawed through the ropes binding her.

However, Yuri, who was sleeping next to her, waved her hand, and a rope wrapped around her again. Seeing this speechless scene, Senju roughly understood the fate of this elven maid.

When they were outside, Chito and Yuri were indeed very weak, which is why she was not on guard against their counterattack. However, once inside the space, their ability to create items was restored.

Fortunately, the two only wanted to subdue the enemy and did not intend to kill her, so they used ropes to bind her. Of course, those flexible ropes were definitely not developed because of the 'Binding Immortal Rope' that Thousand Hands mentioned.

Thousand Hands silently released the elven maid who had been re-cocooned, and then a giant silkworm appeared before everyone.

"Miss Ryu, what are you doing?" The Loki Familia members nearby seemed to know the elven maid well. William, seeing this, swung his sword and cut the rope, allowing the elven maid to land safely on the ground. She looked around at the people, "Where is this? Why are you Loki Familia members here?"

“This is the dungeon,” Lefia said, stepping forward. Everyone around nodded in agreement. The elven maid looked around, her eyes narrowing. “So this is it.”

"Ahem, I'm sorry, Chito and Yuri have caused you trouble," Senju said after a dry cough. "Because of some kind of magic, you are now in the dungeon."

"I see. Do you know those two young ladies?" Ryu calmly looked at Senju, who nodded. "They are my family members. I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble."

“It’s alright,” Ryu shook her head, then looked at Senju, “but the meal expenses and losses must be made up, as Mia’s mother said.”

“Of course,” Senju nodded, while the Loki Familia beside them were in a state of chaos, unable to understand what the two were saying.

“But we’ll need someone to guide us back,” Senju said, shaking his head as he looked at Finn and the others beside him. It seemed they cared more about their team members than the mission itself.

“I’m so sorry,” Finn said, bowing again after hearing Thousand Hands’ words. “I will help find a suitable guide, and even if this mission fails, we will make up the debt.”

"Captain," Ais called softly from the side, indicating that she didn't want to be a burden to everyone.

Chapter 370 Maids Can Also Be Warriors

Seeing that Ais was lost in thought, Senju waved his hand and said, "That money didn't need to be paid in the first place. The repair costs were settled at the time, so there's no need to talk about it anymore."

"Really?" Ais stared blankly at Senju, who nodded and solemnly assured her, "It's true, the weapon repair fee will only be 100,000."

"Phew, thank you," Ais finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual dazed state. Only then did Senju truly realize the difference between her and Nephren. Although both of them rarely showed any expression, one was naturally dazed, while the other was completely emotionless.

"What happened here?" The elven maid looked around and saw signs of battle everywhere, then asked Lefia beside her.

Lefia looked at her kin beside her and quietly recounted what had happened. When Ryu heard that many monsters were emerging from the ground, she immediately ran to the side.

"Riviria," Finn called out, and Riviria, who was beside him, chased after Ryu. Thousand Hands also urged the Ender Dragon to follow. After all, this elven maid had come here because of Thousand Hands and him, and he couldn't let anything happen to her here.

William, who was standing nearby, also gave chase. After watching everyone run away, Finn commented, "What a strange god. He actually uses dragons as mounts and can forge such powerful weapons."

"Captain, are we really going to continue down?" Tione asked from the side. After all that had happened, it would be better to get back up as soon as possible. Besides, under Thousand Hands's influence, they had lost confidence in their weapons.

“Well, consider this a way to raise funds. After buying those two shields, the expedition funds should be almost depleted,” Finn explained softly from the side, and the person next to him nodded.

Ais stared blankly at the spot where Senju and the others had left. Lefia, standing beside her, asked curiously, "Miss Ais, are you worried about Riveria?"

“No,” Ais shook her head, then looked at Lefia seriously, “I just felt that the man looked like someone, so I was a little concerned, but is he LV7?”

"

“That gentleman, Bert was no match for him at all, and I feel the same way,” Finn recalled their first meeting with William, remembering the scene at the time. “In that case, those flying girls and that gentleman just now were all members of the ‘Thousand Hands’ clan.”

“Yes, that should be it,” Tione nodded, then remembered, “He seems to have had contact with Loki yesterday. Could they have met?”

“Well, the gods’ affairs are none of our business. Loki won’t lose anything anyway,” Finn said, then looked at the wrecked ground around them. “Let’s go back to Rivera and see what’s been done inside.”

On the other side, Senju rode a dragon, following the elf in front. It was understandable that Riveria was very fast, but the elf maid in front was also very fast. The two crossed the forest and the river and came to a clearing.

There was a small mound of earth there, with tattered flags and swords stuck on it, like a tomb.

When Liu saw that the place was still intact, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, there was no damage here."

Riveria stopped beside her and asked softly, "Is that your companion?"

“Yes, my former companions are gone now,” Ryu said softly, staring blankly at the mound.

Senju slowly descended from the side, and William also walked out from the side. Senju looked at her behavior along the way and understood, "So Miss Ryu was also an adventurer in the past. Thank you for not hurting Chito and Yuri."

“It’s alright,” Ryu said softly. “I was originally planning to ask Mia’s mother for leave to come here, but now it’s much more convenient.”

“I see. Then we’ll wait for you at the hotel in Rivera.” Seeing her staring blankly at the grave, Senju and the others slowly retreated, and Rivera followed them out.

Senju rode the dragon slowly forward, and Riveria asked from the side, "Lady Senju, did you also tame this dragon?"

“Hmm, this is called the Ender Dragon, it’s a pretty good mount,” Thousand Hands nodded, then asked curiously, “By the way, why haven’t I seen any mounts in the dungeon? Even if dragons aren’t an option, horses should be fine, right?”

“That’s not the case,” Riveria shook her head. “Ordinary mounts are not suitable for dungeons. Both food and monsters are troublesome, and many passages are narrow, making it easy to have accidents when encountering monsters.”

“I see,” Thousand Hands nodded, and William beside him added, “The enemies here could appear anywhere, and it’s easy to run into trouble while riding a mount.”

"Uh," Thousand Hands hadn't thought about that. Imagine an adventurer leisurely riding a horse, with monsters spawning both in front and behind him. How would he deal with the monsters behind him? Getting on and off the mount would take at least a few seconds, and one wrong move could lead to death.

The three of them soon arrived in Rivera. The already dilapidated buildings had become even more dilapidated, with many wooden buildings collapsed and many adventurers still cleaning up the ruins.

However, upon seeing the dragon arrive, they immediately sounded the alarm: "Watch out, a dragon in full armor is attacking!"

"I think I've heard of monsters wearing armor. Let's go and destroy it!" someone shouted. Others were puzzled. "Are there really monsters wearing armor? But that's a dragon! It's too dangerous."

"Don't worry, everyone, that's a friend's mount," Finn quickly stepped forward to clarify after seeing the chaos. Everyone knew his reputation; no one here dared to challenge the leader of the Loki Familia, the 'Hero,' a Level 6 adventurer named Finn Timna.

In fact, when Senju looked at the people shouting below, he could feel several malicious gazes. Senju could easily sense such gazes. A wicked thought arose in his mind, wanting to see if eliminating the adventurers would level him up. However, when he saw Finn step forward, he suppressed his delusions and slowly descended to the center.

Afterwards, Thousand Hands put the dragon away and followed Finn and the others to the inn. However, the accommodation here was really expensive, costing one thousand falies per person per night, and that was for the simplest bed.

In addition, dinner costs a thousand per person, and a more lavish meal costs ten thousand. Thousand Hands stared at the menu speechlessly, took out some roast meat and started eating, while also sharing it with Finn and his group next to him.

“Thank you,” Finn said, taking the roast meat and then discussing the guide issue with Senju. “I was originally thinking of hiring some adventurers, but now I have a better option.”

"Oh, what choice?" Senju asked curiously. Riveria, who was standing next to her, continued, "It's that Miss Ryu. She seems to know this place very well, and she's one of Mia's people. She's very trustworthy, so we'd like to ask her to go back with you."

Chapter 371 The Incomplete Magic System

“That’s true. It seems like Bell has a flirtatious relationship with Seele there,” Senju nodded. “But it depends on Miss Ryu’s wishes.”

“No problem, I’ll convince her,” Riveria said from the side. Thousand Hands looked at her pointed ears and nodded. “By the way, you’re from the same clan.”

“Hmm,” Riveria nodded, not wanting to discuss this topic. After looking around, Senju found that Lefia seemed the easiest to talk to, so he went over and asked her.

Since Thousand Hands provided the food, Lefia explained to him, "Rivellia is royalty among the elves, but she doesn't like that kind of obsequious manner."

"It's that attitude that led me to become an adventurer."

“I see,” Senju nodded, then asked, “Is Riveria very famous?”

“Huh,” Lefia froze, looking at Senju as if he were an alien. “Don’t you know Riveria’s reputation? Even in countries outside of Orario, the name ‘Nine Demon Princess’ is known to everyone. She is known as the ‘strongest mage in the city’.”

"Nine Demon Princesses? Who are the other eight?" Senju asked curiously. Lefia looked at Senju helplessly. "The Nine Demon Princesses is just Riveria. She knows three types of magic: attack, defense, and recovery, and three ranks of them, for a total of nine types of magic that she can chant and link together."

"Really? That's quite comprehensive," Thousand Hands exclaimed in surprise, but at the same time, an image of a dignified old man appeared in his mind. "I wonder how he compares to Swann."

“Who is that? Riveria is the strongest,” the little elf girl said discontentedly, and Thousand Hands next to her nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, anyway, Swan isn’t here, so there’s no way to compare them.”
