You call this magic?

The Monster Festival will be in a few days. If I remember correctly, there will be some chaos. Let's leave it to him as a test.

Whether this guy can upgrade from lv1 to lv2 depends on this wave.

Come to think of it, Hermes actually found Bell again. It seems that this guy is still keeping an eye on Bell's mission... Well, he can be considered a friendly force.

A few days flew by.

These past few days, Ethan took Ais and Lefiya into the dungeon every day, practicing and sparring on different floors, which was quite pleasant.

Isn't it nice to be alone with two beautiful girls? Especially when one of them is completely obedient to you and the other is pissed off but can't kill you.

After all, when running around in the dungeon, there will naturally be unexpected situations, such as the terrain suddenly changing due to the monster attack. As a fragile mage, Lefiya didn't react in time and almost got into trouble, and Ethan took advantage of her to grab her... Such things happen from time to time, especially when Ai Si is having fun chopping.

This resulted in Lefiya spending a lot more time speaking sweet words in the elf way.

To be honest, compared to the obedient Ais, the reaction of the sharp-tongued Lefiya is even more delicious.

This is certainly not because he is a jerk, but it is simply more interesting to have some verbal exchanges.

On the last day, when the Monster Festival was about to begin, Lefiya even took action when arguing with Ethan. Although she only grabbed Ethan's clothes in anger, it still made her doubt herself.

That expression of doubting life is so delicious!

However, this can also be considered as a process of gradually improving my relationship with her.

I just feel that Ai Si's strength seems to be getting stronger and stronger. So it seems that the state of mind also seems to affect the improvement of potential value?

Monster Festival, tomorrow.

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 40: The First Day of the Monster Festival

As expected of Orario's annual large-scale event, almost all activities going to the dungeon were suspended, and adventurers collectively stayed on the ground just to participate in this grand event.

They may not even really be in high regard for the Monster Festival, they just want to take this opportunity to relax, gather with a few friends, find a small shop to have a drink, watch the crowds gather on the street, and experience the lively atmosphere, which is also a good thing.

The Soma clan also had a day off today. Soma was not interested in the Monster Festival and stayed in the clan to make wine, but it was different for the clan members. They all slipped out early in the morning. Of course, some of them had made plans to travel together. Whether they wanted to go on a date or something else, they could do whatever they wanted today. Even all the expenses today were reimbursed by the clan, just to let the members spend the day happily.

This kind of move had never happened in the Soma clan in the past, even before Chanis destroyed the clan. It can only be said that Ethan's arrival did bring about huge changes in the Soma god.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in the dormitory of the Soma clan, some people came up with some radical ideas.

Lily Erde, who has not appeared for a long time, carefully trimmed her hair in front of the mirror.

Ever since she had money, she started to pay attention to dressing up. However, no matter how the dwarfs dressed up, they could only go for the cute look, which made Lily, who had been observing Ethan for a long time, very distressed.

Why can't the little people be sexy?

How about using [Cooking Ash Woman]? No, putting aside the fact that changing into a different body shape is not easy to do, what's the point of making Ethan like his transformed self?

Forget it, forget it!

Lily plucked up her courage and decided to fulfill her promise to perform magic today.

A private date with Ethan!

She is usually very busy. Although she is not completely ignorant of business, once the process of capital flow becomes complicated, there are too many things to learn. Fortunately, there are professional accounting players in the clan, otherwise Lily would be in big trouble alone.

Now that she finally had some free time, Lily breathed a sigh of relief. In short, she had to seize this opportunity!

the other side.

The little mermaid swung her tail and washed her body in the bathtub, a habit she developed after becoming a human.

At this time, Mary has completely accustomed to human life. As her communication with humans increases, her words and actions become more and more like those of a human.

But she never forgot her identity as a heretic. Except when taking a bath, she always maintained her transformed state of "Kitchen Ash Lady".

As for what to do if she is exposed... She never thought that the series of events at the beginning were all accidents. Step by step to today, she also felt like she was dreaming.

"It's okay, with Ethan here, everything will be fine."

The little mermaid thought naively.

Yes, as long as Ethan is there, there will be no problem.

"Mary!!"

Hestia pushed the door open and walked in. Mary was getting dressed. When she saw Hestia, her face turned red and she quickly put on her clothes: "H-Hestia, at least knock on the door."

One is a god, the other is a heretic. It is not wrong to describe their relationship as best friends.

"No time to explain, we have a mission!" Hestia's expression was so serious that even Mari couldn't help but get nervous.

"What, what mission?" Mary became even more nervous after hearing that.

Hestia leaned closer and whispered mysteriously into Mary's ear, "I just overheard Lily wanting to ask Ethan out on a date alone."

Mary, pupils tremble.

"I must stop it...but why?" Mary's first reaction was to stop it, but then she immediately realized why she had to stop it?

"Trust your first reaction, Marie." Hestia patted her shoulder. "This is war!"

"?" There was a big question mark hanging on Mary's little head.

"You're still young and don't understand, but this goddess does!" Hestia patted her chest vigorously. "Leave everything to this goddess!"

Although she was shouting happily, people couldn't help but wonder what tricks this goddess had, but unexpectedly, she just came to the hall with a bright smile, and smiled in front of Lily who seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Lily, your days of deducting my performance points every day are over. Come with me to the Monster Festival!"

"Huh?" Lily wanted to laugh, but after all, the person in front of her was a goddess, and they had a good relationship on weekdays. Otherwise, how could she afford such a joke? "Goddess, this joke is not funny. Lily, I'm going shopping with the captain today."

"Hey, I knew you would say that."

Although there was no meaningless drum beat to accompany the performance, Hestia still pulled out her trump card. "It seems you don't know anything. Ethan-kun went out before dawn today!"

In an instant, the atmosphere suddenly froze, including Mary.

Lily opened her mouth wide, her expression frozen, and Mary had an expression as if she was questioning her life.

"That's not right. I specifically asked 'Sword Princess' yesterday. Her clan has something to do today and won't be going to practice!" Lily stood up and shouted loudly, attracting a lot of people's attention.

"Hehe, it has nothing to do with Sword Princess. It's just that Ethan said he had something to investigate when no one was in the dungeon, so now he's sneaking into the dungeon alone!"

"..."

"...No, what are you so proud of, goddess? No one can date the captain anymore!"

Lily had a sad face and completed the frustrated forward bend again.

"Yeah, so no one can sneak away, girl." Hestia's mouth twitched. Apparently, she realized that she seemed to be one of the losers. "So, let's go shopping together today!"

"..."

I clearly made an appointment with my lesbian friends to go out together, but for some reason, no one was happy.

The world where no one wins is complete.

……

Just as Hestia said, Ethan sneaked into the dungeon in stealth mode when no one was around.

After experiencing the Banquet of the Gods, Ethan felt that these gods were really interesting. They obviously just came to the underworld to have fun, but they insisted on engaging in all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. It might be just a game for them, but humans would be truly affected.

For the gods, the greatest punishment is simply to be sent back to heaven, but dead humans are truly dead.

This kind of history has continued from the period of the Dark Faction to the present day.

So these gods really deserve a beating...

Dionysus didn't know if there was a problem, but there was definitely a problem with Demeter. He just didn't know where the problem lay. As long as it didn't affect Ethan, he could only be prepared to deal with it.

However, it has little to do with his course of action this time.

His goal this time was to first defeat the lone king of the maze on the 37th floor, and then break through to the 50th floor.

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 41: I'm a Skeleton Soldier Specialist

After a long time, Ethan once again experienced the feeling of being alone when he first entered the dungeon.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been busy developing his power, making friends, and training his team.

Firstly, because he has some understanding of this world, he also wants to see what there is in this world that he doesn't know yet, which will be very helpful for him to gain experience. Secondly, he has not yet found a way to return to his original world, and he can't just do nothing.

After all, humans are social animals. Even if they have great power, it is unnecessary to drive everyone to the opposite side of themselves. It is impossible for him to do everything by himself now.

The riot at the Monster Festival was not a difficult problem for people on the ground to solve. With my intervention, it shouldn't be a problem for them to solve it themselves.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the surface, he could go to the underground city and stir up some trouble.

He hoped that Uranus would give him some face when he saw this and not tell everything to others, otherwise he would tell everyone that Uranus allowed heresy.

After reaching the eighteenth floor, he made a special trip to Rivera Town. He originally wanted to use his fists to build a relationship with Borus, but this guy actually brought his family to the ground to watch the monster festival, leaving Ethan empty-handed.

Forget it, I'll deal with you next time.

Ethan went into the nineteenth floor.

From here on, Ethan directly used the lightning-attributed [Magic Weaponry] to increase his speed on the road. The monsters on the road only felt a flash of lightning and couldn't even react that an adventurer had passed by.

The water was like a waterfall, and he even accelerated his free fall at lightning speed, ignoring the Amphibina that had just been generated.

Are you kidding? What can the owner of the 27th floor do? Just take a look and add some experience. It’s not a great achievement for him at all.

In this way, Ethan took only one hour to cover a distance that many adventurers would have to walk for several days, and reached the door of the 37th floor.

After removing the dark magic, Ethan stood at the door and rested for a while, trying his best to restore himself to the best condition.

Then, he calmly stepped into the 37th floor.

In the guild's strategy guide, for each floor where a lone maze king will appear, there will be a warning like this: If you find that there is no monster on the floor, turn around and leave immediately.

Some speculate that the birth of the Lone King of the Labyrinth will consume all the power of this layer.

Some people also say that the power of the Lone King of the Labyrinth is too strong, and it is impossible for weak ordinary monsters to be born under the oppression of such power.

"Sure enough, it was quite lively when I came here before, but now there's not even a single monster left."

At the end of the passage behind him, there were still a large number of monsters wandering around on the thirty-sixth floor.

However, as soon as he stepped into this floor, Ethan found something wrong.

A layer of thick fog less than ten centimeters high suddenly appeared on the ground.

As Ethan walked, the thick fog would be kicked away by his footsteps and then gathered together again. If it weren't for the hard ground under his feet, he would even have the illusion that he was stepping on clouds.

【Abnormal situation】

The first word that came to Ethan's mind was the "normal situation" of each layer that the raiders collected with their lives.

Occasionally, due to various reasons, the dungeon will experience abnormal situations that are completely different from those recorded in the guide. For example, suppose the waterfall on the 27th floor suddenly runs out of water. Although this has never happened in reality, it is still considered an abnormal situation.

However, no matter which clan wrote the thirty-seventh level, such abnormal situation has never occurred.

As he continued to move forward, the visibility around him gradually decreased. Although the thick fog on the ground, which was only ankle-high, had not changed at all, the surroundings were getting darker and darker.

Ethan stopped. At this time, the surroundings were completely dark. Even when Ethan stretched out his hand, he couldn't see his fingers.

Pyroxene magic [Starlight].

A ball of light the size of a baby's fist appeared above Ethan's head, providing light within a radius of about ten meters without being dazzling.

This level of light source is sufficient for Ethan's reaction speed.

At the same time, Ethan felt a shaking, and as time went on, the vibration of the ground became stronger and stronger. At the same time, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

[Magic Perception] spread instantly. In Ethan's perception, there was a huge thing approaching at high speed under the ground directly below him.

Almost at the moment Ethan jumped away, a huge skull opened its mouth wide, and its neat bony teeth bit towards him.

I am!

This thing's mouth alone is bigger than his, and it's snow-white... Wait!

Udaeus, according to records, shouldn’t it be black???

At this moment, Ethan just wanted to curse.

He should have reacted from the moment the abnormal situation began. This time, Udaeus was obviously not the normal Udaeus. This was the first time that Udaeus promax appeared!

He didn't know whether this thing existed in the original work, but it had appeared in front of him now, and it had an extremely strong desire to attack.
