Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

"grumble--"

A terrifying sharp scream echoed in the fog, and a figure jumped high on a dead tree and suddenly broke through the fog.

Evil Bat, a flying monster that relies mainly on sound waves.

The ability value of this type of monster is not outstanding, at most one level higher than the purple moth. However, compared with the purple moth that needs to spray poison powder at a close distance, the evil bat that can directly launch an attack from nearly 20 meters away is more difficult to defeat.

The figure approached, and the bat screamed and fled, but it was too late, it was too close. A long-prepared steel needle suddenly shot out from Su Mo's hand and directly penetrated the bat's head.

The evil bat fell to the ground, and Su Mo also fell from the air, locking his sights on the enemy.

In the white fog, the outline of a huge black shadow was revealed in full.

At the moment Su Mo landed on the ground, a hard wooden stick swept across the air with a whistling sound. At the same time, a silver-backed ape swooped down, waving its long arms and landing heavily on the ground. The heavy blow that covered the sky and the sun created a big hole in front of Su Mo.

The earth trembled, the grass flew, and the white fog that lingered all year round had a hole due to the strong shock wave, revealing a nimble dodging figure inside, as well as two giant monsters and a group of barking little demons that swarmed in.

Su Mo looked calm. He was caught between two giant monsters. He crouched down and moved closer to the orc. The black sword blade moved with him and cut open the orc's abdomen in the narrow space.

The next moment, the gushing blood covered the silverback ape's hands that were trying to grab but were ultimately empty.

Unable to grab, the silverback ape punched down directly, but at this time, Su Mo had easily hidden behind the orc.

"Roar--!!"

The silverback ape roared angrily, and lacking the awareness of a "partner", it knocked the orc down with one punch.

His eyes locked onto the target, who quickly jumped back and put some distance between himself and the fallen orc. His body instantly launched like a spring, charging straight towards Su Mo as if leaping and charging.

Its posture is like an unbeatable tank.

However, facing such a strong impact, Su Mo did not choose to dodge as usual, but just stood still with his sword raised.

In this situation, the scene of a violent collision between the two figures is foreseeable, but when the two collided head-on, something strange happened.

There was no fierce wrestling or strong collision.

The party that was more likely to be knocked away stood safely in place, while the silverback ape that launched the charge had its broken arm flying in the air. After its strong body rushed out for a long distance, a wound that started from the chest and ended at the abdomen, almost splitting the body in two, suddenly split open, and finally, with the broken arm falling from the air, it fell to the ground with a thud.

Without dodging or evading, he put all his strength into the sword, and finally added three times the speed to make a double kill in an instant.

This attack was swift and fierce. With the sharpness of the Goddess's Sword, even the defense of the Hard-Shelled Rat could be easily cut through. However, the ankle that was deeply embedded in the ground showed that this attack was far from perfect.

If he could be faster and more powerful, he could completely ignore the silverback ape's reckless charge and would not have to bear the remaining impact.

Pulling out his ankle, Su Mo quickened his pace and swept away the little demons that were blocking his way with a few swords. Without making much of a sound, the sharp sword tip pierced through the orc who had just sat up from behind.

Once the large monsters are dealt with, the remaining small demons will naturally not be a threat.

Picking up the magic stone, Su Mo continued to move forward.

For several consecutive days, the efficiency of the crusade dropped significantly. In addition to the lack of teammates, there was another important reason, which was the change in the way of fighting. When two people formed a team, they always attacked the location of the magic stone. Now that they have returned to the solo state, they can't continue to waste time.

[Ability Value] has encountered a bottleneck, but this aspect has not.

Su Mo firmly believed that he had not yet reached his limit. What gave him this confidence and courage came not only from Hestia's reminder, but also from his own "plug-in" that had not yet been activated.

His left hand touched the magic stone in the magic stone bag at close range. In an instant, his left eye, which absorbed the energy of the magic stone, emitted bursts of comfortable coolness. The feeling of "coming alive" became clearer and stronger, giving people the feeling that it was just waiting for the final "overflow".

After walking quickly for a while, Su Mo saw a cave entrance and stairs that were depicted in the book.

This is the passage leading to the twelfth floor.

But Su Mo just glanced at the passage and did not choose to go in.

Security Level 'S'——

Only Lv.2 can conquer the area alone——

The difference in ability values between the monsters on the twelfth floor and those on the eleventh floor may not be that exaggerated, but the number, types, and support speed of the monsters on the twelfth floor are not comparable to those on the eleventh floor.

Not to mention that the gap in ability values is a bit too big. With his current ability values, it would be meaningless even if he could barely hold on for a while.

What he needs now is the magic stone.

Chapter 41: The Secret Revealed

At four o'clock in the evening, a rainstorm suddenly came.

The big raindrops hit the window. Aina, who was sitting at the desk, slowly raised her head and looked at the scene outside.

The previously clear sky was now covered by thick clouds, and heavy rain was falling on the ground.

Outside the house, many pedestrians were running around, desperately looking for a place to shelter from the rain. In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the road.

"It's raining suddenly at this time. Does it mean that people shouldn't leave?"

Feeling that she had to work overtime again tonight, Aina sighed, put down the work at hand, listened to the continuous sound of rain, and looked at the rain scene outside the window.

"Yes, it should be just a sudden shower. I think it will stop by the time I get off work."

The colleague who staggered to Aina's side holding a pile of documents said something without confidence when he saw the heavy rain.

"Can I go home after I stop working?"

"Woo..."

Hearing this, the human girl who was Aegina's friend and colleague immediately broke down, put down the documents, and lay on Aegina's back as if she had had enough.

"I know I've been busy lately, but can't the people above me be a little more considerate of us? The commission has been completed, but I'm not allowed to take a break. Not everyone is as efficient as you, Aina..."

In the office adjacent to the window facing the hallway, there were many guild employees struggling with unfinished work.

Looking at his colleagues and superiors who were making their final sprint and processing documents with horrified expressions, Misha Flott felt that his life was dark.

"Oh, Misha, you're so heavy!"

"I'm not heavy. Wait, Aina, you haven't finished processing all the documents, have you?"

Misha Flott didn't take Aegina's protest seriously, but suddenly, looking at the documents that had piled up to the other end of the desk, her eyes widened.

"There are still some lists."

Hearing this euphemistic response, Misha Flot immediately pushed the thick documents towards Aegina, "Help me, Aegina!"

The soft voice was enough to melt a straight man, but Aegina remained unmoved.

"I still have orders to deal with."

"Isn't it just a list? I'll...

Without waiting for Aina to say anything, Misha Flott picked up the list beside him.

"Adventurer's information..."

Each list contains the information of each adventurer.

Race, birthplace, experience, "family" to which they belong, and the adventurers' activities in this labyrinth city of Orario are all clearly recorded.

"This needs to be archived... What?! He explored the eleventh floor alone in less than a month and a half. Isn't this kid a newbie who knows nothing?"

On the top list, the adventurer's name was clearly written as [Su Mo].

Misha remembered that this new adventurer assigned to Aegina was a complete new talent.

Aina couldn't help but sigh deeply at Misha's amazement.

"He used to form a two-person team, but recently he has returned to being a solo player. His highest basic attribute is only 'D', which is dangerous for him to enter the ninth floor. But after losing his teammates, he has been active on the eleventh floor recently. He is totally risking his life!"

"Arrived at 'D' in just one and a half months?" Misha's eyes were wide open.

“Is this what you’re focusing on?”

"Shouldn't it be this? This is 'D', Aina! Sword Princess' growth rate was about the same back then..."

"How old was Sword Princess when she became an adventurer?"

Aina raised her straight eyebrows, snatched the list back, and became more and more angry as she spoke, "You have repeatedly ignored safety limits, and you like to take risks with your life. You challenge strong enemies and push your limits. The rapid growth you gain in this way is meaningless."

Adventurers should not take risks. This is the lesson countless adventurers have learned from their own lives.

Adventurers who explore underground mazes with a risky mentality, no matter how strong they are, will often never return and be swallowed up by the dungeon.

There are countless such cases.

To put it bluntly, the so-called adventurers are a group of people who don’t know when they will die, and an adventurer who does not value his own life will only disappear faster.

"In the dungeon, there is nothing more dangerous than developing an adventuring habit!"

Looking at the information in her hand, Aina admitted that he was indeed quite outstanding, but precisely because of this, she did not want him to die early.

He is still so young.

Feeling Aina's anger and sigh, Misha's face lost its excitement.

It is a recognized fact that underground caves are the lairs of monsters and the devil's dens that devour lives.

"Have you tried to persuade him?"

"He always agrees."

Aegina said with a smile, but facing such an Aegina, Misha subconsciously took two steps back.

Because although there was a smile on his face, the strong resentment behind him was about to materialize.

horrible--

……——……

With the arrival of a new day, Su Mo's schedule has not changed much, except that the time he used to study at home has gradually shifted to the guild library.

After acquiring a certain foundation in literacy, compared to continuing to memorize by rote, the actual use of words through "reading" can not only allow him to quickly master and understand the words of the other world, but also learn a lot of knowledge.

If you want to fully understand this world and the dungeon, this is undoubtedly the most suitable place.

Recently, spending two hours in the library every day seems to have become Su Mo's daily routine.

As the footsteps approached, Su Mo looked up and saw the consultant with a serious face.

"Hello, Miss Aegina!"

Su Mo quickly stood up and greeted him.

Although the preaching is indeed a bit annoying, as an adult, he is still clear about who is really good to him.

"Hello."

Polite, punctual, grateful, friendly, hardworking... the other person's character is undoubtedly quite outstanding among many adventurers, but it is precisely because of this that Aegina feels powerless.

The other party would listen carefully to any suggestions she made, even if they were criticisms, and never showed impatience or annoyance. Their respect for her was genuine, but they would not necessarily follow her instructions.
