Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

"Well, I'm here for morning exercise, Noah, you—"

Seeing that the two problem children, Ai Si and Noah, were about to start discussing topics, Livilia suddenly became anxious.

If this gets out and Noah finds out, what will he do?

"Ah? So the serious Lady Riveria has this side to her. I never thought... She's so cute!"

Do not!

We must never let that happen!

"Ais!"

When Ais and Noah were about to continue their conversation, Livilia suddenly interrupted them.

"Today, Noah and I are going to explore the dungeon. Do you want to come as a supporter?"

His gaze changed from confusion to surprise, and even his pupils widened slightly, shining with a dazzling brilliance like gems.

Whatever she was thinking before, was now thrown out of her mind by Ai Si.

Now all she could think about was that she could finally go to the dungeon again!

Seeing that Ais was so happy that her long golden hair seemed to be flying, Livilia quickly added.

"You're just a supporter, you're not allowed to fight!"

But Ai Si couldn't listen at all, and turned around and rushed back into the Dusk Pavilion.

"I'm going to change my protective gear!"

After Ais left, Noah and Livilia were the only ones left in front of the Twilight Mansion.

The difference was that Livilia crossed her arms across her chest, looking at the gradually clearing sky, completely ignoring Noah.

Although Noah was not afraid of embarrassment, they were going to the dungeon together today after all. If he made Livilia unhappy, he would probably not be able to fight to his heart's content.

"Speaking of which, Livilia, how did you know I was planning to go to the dungeon today?"

Although she was fully aware of Noah's intention to change the subject, Livilia did not intend to continue dwelling on these matters.

"Heh, a fifty million Faris order. Do you think the Guberniu clan would let you take the protective gear without notifying me, the payer?"

"Oh, I see."

When it comes to this matter, Noah really doesn't know what to say.

It can only be said that he is a gigolo, which means that nothing he does is right and he has no courage.

Seeing that Noah stopped talking, Livilia breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't tell the whole story. In addition to the bill from the Guberniu clan, what was more important was that Ahmid informed Livilia that Noah had bought medicine on credit.

However, Livilia is not so stupid as to betray Amid easily. In the future, she will have to keep track of Noah's movements.

Although Noah did not finish learning all the books on those rows of shelves during this week's magic class, it was enough to shock Livilia.

Because she never expected Noah to finish all those courses in a short period of time, otherwise wouldn't she seem stupid?

But even so, Noah's learning progress still far exceeded Livilia's expectations - within seven days, he had completed the content that the school district required new wizards to learn within three years.

This made Livilia even more convinced of her own judgment - Noah would surpass her at a speed she could not imagine, and even surpass the monsters of Zeus and Hera's family.

But it was precisely because of this that Livilia wanted to protect Noah as much as possible during his early adventure stage.

In a dungeon, the greatest danger is never the monsters, but the unknown—unknown areas, unknown monsters, unknown enemies...

Because the dungeon is alive, He will take action when the adventurers are at a disadvantage and make them fall into despair.

It is common for high-level adventurers to die on the upper levels due to carelessness on their way back after completing their activities in the deeper layers.

Being strong does not mean that you will not encounter danger. On the contrary, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to be accompanied by death. Livilia, who has witnessed the defeat of Zeus's family and Hera's family, has a deep understanding of this.

Although the time is short, I will do my best - glancing at the silver-haired boy with the corner of his eye, the elven royal made a vow to himself in his heart.

After Ais changed into armor and came out with a huge backpack, the three of them left the Dusk Pavilion in the cold morning breeze.

After eating something on the roadside and taking some food for lunch, the three of them entered the underground city.

34 Direct access to 12th floor

After passing through the large hole under the first floor of the Tower of Babel, you will come to the wide road called the "Departure Road".

Although the cobblestone road is solid and spacious, and can accommodate several carriages running side by side, it gives people a feeling of being winding, narrow and dark.

With every step they took, they felt the dark and cold walls on both sides pressing in, as if they would close in and crush them.

Entering the cave that looked like a giant beast, Noah stopped after his feet stepped on the mud. He closed his eyes and gently breathed in the air around him.

Although this was his second time entering the dungeon, Noah only began to experience it carefully at this time.

Phosphorescent light illuminates the surroundings, and the dome above is quite spacious, but once you enter the dungeon, you can feel that everything has changed.

A slight breeze can make a roaring and whistling sound through the cave, as if a monster is inviting adventurers to fight.

The sun, moon, stars, the four seasons of winter and summer, wind, frost, rain and dew, all external symbols are left behind at this moment.

Ahead is a deep cave full of endless dangers, extending infinitely downwards. Even the gods do not know where it ends.

Endless beasts, endless dangers, endless battles...

The pervasive sense of danger in the air surged through Noah's body like static electricity. He felt his hair stand on end and his breathing deepened.

My heartbeat quickened, pumping hot blood throughout my body, and my muscles tensed unconsciously.

There's no mistake, this is where I belong, this is my nature...

Ais and Livilia on the side also stopped and looked at Noah quietly, recalling their feelings when they first entered the dungeon.

Fear, nervousness, excitement, terror...

Those emotions are still vivid in my mind, as if I could be there in person. I wonder how Noah feels?

When Noah opened his eyes again and glanced forward with a calm gaze, both Ais and Livilia felt a cold light like that of a sharp sword sweeping past them, and their souls were stung.

But when he looked at it again, Noah's eyes had returned to calmness, making him wonder if it was just an illusion...

No, it's not an illusion.

Livilia and Ais looked at Noah, both of them certain of it.

Something disappeared from Noah's blue eyes—the usual calmness with a hint of laziness.

But something else emerged - a kind of coldness similar to that of a wild animal locking onto its prey.

Although no emotional fluctuations could be seen, both Ais and Livilia understood that this was just a layer of solidified ice on a swift undercurrent.

It's like a magic sword that contains extremely high-density magic power. Even if it is just quietly inserted in the scabbard, it will make people stare at it involuntarily.

Ais widened her eyes and looked at the silver-haired boy who seemed unfamiliar to her.

She could still recall the nervousness and fear she felt when she entered the dungeon a year ago, and tried to find common ground between herself and Noah.

but failed.

Just that look made Ai Si realize that there was an insurmountable gap between them.

Noah, unlike himself... he is a strong man.

The trembling that surged through her body...even fear, made Ais realize this.

"Let's go."

Without noticing the glances of the two, Noah took the lead and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Not long after walking, we heard the walls of the dungeon automatically breaking apart.

Among the falling debris, the monsters curled up and fell to the ground, until they fully stretched out, revealing their monster postures.

It has dark grey fur and a short, hunched body, but it can walk upright, and its sharp claws and fangs emit a cold light.

Especially those malicious scarlet eyes, which explain the monster's life essence that is completely different from all creatures in the underworld.

Gnolls, like goblins, are the weakest monsters in the dungeon. They are distributed from the first to the fifth floors, the difference lies in the number and frequency of their appearance.

Even an adult armed with a weapon can defeat a cannon fodder-level monster.

It’s just that this kind of monster makes people lose the desire to fight.

Even though he thought so, Noah looked at the more than thirty dog-headed men in front of him and slowly drew the long sword from his waist.

With a clang, the silver sword was unsheathed.

In the moment when the silver light flashed in the dim cave, Noah, who stayed in place, turned into an afterimage and slashed the sword forward!

Three hours, twelve floors!

The fluorescent light in all directions had faded, and in the dead woods filled with a gloomy morning mist, Livilia and Ais stared at the scene in front of them in astonishment.

The silver sword swung down, and the sword energy tore through the mist and smoke, while engulfing five fat orcs over three meters tall.

Before the orc could fall to the ground and turn into ashes due to the fatal attack, the silver figure rushed forward along with the violent sword energy, passing through like a ray of moonlight.

Unlike the layer above which was composed of countless crisscrossing caves and deep caves, this layer was made up of jungle areas with overgrown weeds and countless dead trees, and was shrouded in white mist that appeared from nowhere.

In this vast field, a figure moved across from left to right without dodging or turning.

Slashing, slashing, piercing, and slashing... countless attacks turned into a sharp blade barrier, crushing and annihilating all monsters within reach.

The sharp sword that slays evil leaves behind countless afterimages, and everything it sweeps past with its hissing sword whistles, turning countless monsters into dust and corpses.

Feeling threatened, the monsters launched a barrage of ferocious attacks, but their claws, sticks, and gravel missed the boy's figure by a small margin, and his body was cut apart as he roared in pain.

Noah passed under the rolling log that fell from the silverback ape's hand without even looking at it. He just followed the "intuition" that emerged in his mind and sent out a sword with his backhand.

Then, just before the silver-backed ape, whose body was frozen, was about to die, he stepped on the ground to gain leverage and kicked the chest and abdomen of the hard-shelled rat directly into pieces when he landed.

Although he chopped more than ten little devils into pieces with one sword, Noah's target was not these little devils, but an amber figure in the distance.

It has a long tail, sharp teeth, and walks on all fours. Its amber scales reflect a solid, cold light.

Baby dragon, a rare monster that appears on the 11th and 12th floors.

Although it has no wings, it has amazing defenses that are unmatched by any monster in the upper area thanks to its hard scales and strong muscles. It is considered to be the de facto lone king of the upper maze.

There were about twenty baby dragons that appeared in front of Noah. Every time this number appeared, it basically meant that the guild would receive news that a group of junior adventurers had been wiped out.

With a twist of his wrist, Noah slashed with a wide range to deflect all attacks, then he kicked the ground hard, and an astonishing airflow burst out.

Noah, having gained a sharp acceleration, literally became a violent wind.

He charged forward without restraint, passing the young dragons a second before their tails whipped the ground like hammer blows. After reaching the edge of the cave, Noah rushed to the top of the rock wall without slowing down.

Rushing all the way to mid-air, Noah flipped his body, stepped on the dome, and launched himself out!

Moving at a speed beyond the reach of the eyes, Noah's body gradually faded and turned into silver light along with the sword.

8①④⑨ ling ③Qi Bar

The young dragons were shattered in roars and screams!

35 Is this charm serious?

Leaving your body in the air during a fight is a very dangerous and foolish act. If you don't kill with one blow, it will often give the enemy an opportunity to counterattack.

The reason why Noah chose this fighting style and kept changing his killing methods was to adapt to his body.

Whether it was the strengthening of his body after receiving the grace, or the unbearable seven days of physical healing from Ahmid, Noah gained a completely different kind of tremendous power from before, so that his control power decreased.

The blow that was originally intended to cut the neck ended up shattering the head.

He wanted to jump behind the monster and counterattack, but his landing point was more than ten meters farther than expected.

Or maybe he misjudged the hardness of the rock under his feet and crushed it while trying to gain leverage, causing him to almost fall.

In order to regain fine control over his body, Noah abandoned all the efficient techniques he had trained in long battles in the past.

Facing the monster's attack, Noah did not dodge or resist, but defeated it head-on with just his speed and the sword in his hand.
