Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

Outrageous.

Is there any law here? This is too outrageous!

In the end, the girl could only silently take out the dry food she carried with her and chew it, standing by the roadside with a bit of melancholy, thinking that it would be better to go back.

Then suddenly, I heard it coming from a dessert shop not far away.

A conversation between two girls.

"Daphne, let's go back quickly. This is our last chance. Please, we must return to the ground before sunset..."

"It's okay, Cassandra. Did you have another strange dream? Besides, we're only level 2 adventurers. It's impossible for us to return to the ground from the 18th floor in one day."

"But……"

"Isn't it safer to stay here than to act alone? At least there are so many adventurers here."

"It really will happen at night..."

"Okay, don't say any more."

"Woo..."

Chapter 67: "Night of Sorrow"

Due to her abilities, Cassandra occasionally experiences precognitive dreams.

And just last night.

She dreamed of a giant crystal shattering, transforming into a pitch-black sky that descended. Blood-red monsters flooded the small town in the forest like a tide. The roar of a giant shook the heavens and the earth, accompanied by a terrifying sound that shook the ground...

It was a night filled with screams and wails.

Horrible, terrible!

However, as always, no one believed her prediction, not even her best friend Daphne.

The girl didn't know that this was due to the "magic" of her own skills.

The skill [Princess Who Sings the Tragic World], which even gods cannot decipher, possesses magical abilities that are not something a LV2 adventurer like her can "control with ease."

Under her influence, no one would believe her predictions, not even the gods.

Except for an extremely small possibility, this is almost absolute.

Both are members of Apollo's family.

I came to Rivera because of my daily adventures. Together with other members of my clan, I went to the middle level to kill monsters.

but.

What Daphne said was indeed correct.

One of them is a healer and the other is a commander. Even though they both have LV2 abilities, it is unlikely for them to return to Orario on the ground from Rivera within a day.

and so……

Am I destined to die here tonight?

The pessimistic girl was almost on the verge of tears. Her long dark blue hair, which already covered most of her face, made her look even more gloomy and sad.

Daphne was completely accustomed to this.

Cassandra is prone to having a "crazy" moment from time to time, so just ignore it.

And the other side.

Artemis, who was chewing on dry food, also felt that what the blue-haired girl said was outrageous, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait until he returned to the hotel and told El about it.

"what?"

The boy lying on the bed looked a little lazy, with an absent-minded expression on his face.

Eating the lunch box prepared by Demeter.

"Precognition? Maybe it's true. Isn't this a world with gods? So divination and the like should exist, right? And isn't there also the so-called goddess of fate..."

"Yes, but Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, the sisters, were using the power of the gods to make prophecies. How could a child from the underworld possibly have such an ability to interpret and predict fate?"

"It doesn't matter. If it's fake, then don't worry about it. If it's real..."

Al ate his lunch box calmly, thinking that the curry made by Demeter was sweet. Wasn't this guy's love for sugar a bit too much?

Then he continued.

"If the prophecy is true, we can't leave."

"Eh?!"

If it's true, then I can't leave. What does that mean? Could it be...

Artemis looked at Al at this moment and thought, how can you say such great words so calmly!

Is it to be a hero and save everyone? !

Well.

But I have to say, the boy who said this is really handsome.

But Artemis probably would never have thought of it.

That's actually what Al meant.

As a hero, he should have stayed and saved this impending crisis...

……

The day passed quickly.

It's approaching evening.

According to previous intelligence, Goliath will probably refresh within a few hours.

Al and Artemis both came out of the hotel fully armed.

Well, actually, she is the young goddess, carrying a specially made large support backpack. Her slender body looks like a drifting grass against the backdrop of the backpack that is as bulky as a hill.

Good weight!

I'm already used to it though!!

Artemis lamented the difficulty of earning money by working and followed El out of the town.

The light of the crystal chandelier gradually dimmed.

Rivera was much more lively at this moment than during the day, even Artemis noticed.

As Al and I walked along, we seemed to be the focus of the crowd.

"That guy, from the Demeter clan..."

"Are you going to defeat Goliath alone?"

"Ah."

"Really? Didn't they say it was only Level 1?"

"I thought he was at least a Level 3 guy."

"You need to be at least Level 4 to be able to defeat the Lone Labyrinth King alone."

Obviously.

The news that El will defeat the lone king of the maze alone tonight has now spread throughout the town of Rivera.

This is also normal.

Because after Goliath is refreshed, Rivera's adventurers usually form a group to fight against it.

So in order to keep it exclusively for myself.

Of course, Demeter informed the person in charge in Rivera in advance in the name of the Goddess Alliance, and naturally, the news spread.

In fact, there are not only many adventurers shouting and yelling.

Prepare to follow Al and the others to the 17th floor to join in the fun and watch a good show.

I want to know how this young man from Demeter's family defeated the Lone King of the Labyrinth alone.

Now in the tavern in the town.

There are also various odds everywhere, and the stakes are whether Al can succeed in this solo expedition.

It is said.

The odds have reached an astonishing 1:20 or more.

After all, any normal person would believe that it is impossible for a LV1 adventurer to defeat the lone maze king alone.

Not talking about anything else.

How can a LV1 adventurer clear out the extremely high [Endurance] that far exceeds that of normal monsters?

You should know that ordinary expeditions are carried out by teams of dozens or even hundreds of adventurers.

No matter how powerful you are, can you be stronger than a hundred people?!

It would be fine if he was a high-level adventurer, but Al is clearly only a LV1!!

"I bet one hundred thousand this kid can do it!!"

In Rivera's noisiest bar, a burly one-eyed man threw a heavy bag of faris onto the table.

"Are you crazy, Perce?"

"What do you know? A man should have the courage to risk everything!"

What's good about stinky water?

Others are afraid of my greed, so I increase my holdings, and increase them heavily!!

As the actual manager of Rivera, Bos does have a certain temperament that represents this adventurer town.

and……

I have "inside information".

A talented adventurer who is being nurtured by the Demeter family and seems to have connections with the Loki family.

Bos is very optimistic about the young man named Al.

"Hmph! Just wait until you lose all your pants and go home naked!!"

"Hahahahahaha!!"

The bet is closed.

Many adventurers were holding barrels of beer, ready to follow El to the 17th floor to witness the so-called "miracle moment".

however.

Night falls.

Under this faint crystal starlight.

Deep in the dense forest, a god in black robes stood alone.

"It's time to begin."

He made a hoarse sound.

At the same time, in the area called the Great Tree Maze, located on the 19th to 24th floors below Rivera, huge bronze doors suddenly opened between the many walls.

Countless monsters poured out from the door and, guided by some aura, rushed violently towards the upper level.

Their target is obviously Rivera!

And at this moment.

Many adventurers still in the Great Tree Labyrinth were wondering why there seemed to be so few monsters today. They wondered if they should just go back to Rivera and watch the show. It was said that an adventurer was going to challenge them today...

Ok? !

In the dense forest, countless surging monsters swept through like an overwhelming tide, accompanied by the terrified screams of the adventurers who were still there.
