You call this magic?

A wind blade fell from the sky and split a rock near Ethan in half.

No, the sword energy alone can split mountains and crack rocks?

Is this the compatibility between Ai Si and Feng?

Looking at Ai Si behind him, Ethan was really speechless and simply stopped running.

Let's beat her here first.

【Murderous Magic】.

This move had almost no lag for Ethan. When Ai Si discovered it, the beam of light had already hit her wind coat. Ai Si's reaction was already very fast, but she was still grazed by the edge of the beam of light, causing her to fall down in a spin.

Ethan deliberately controlled the power, otherwise it would be bad if he really killed Ai Si.

Go ahead.

A large amount of magic power formed around him. This time it was not the [killing magic] with extremely strong penetrating ability, but a large-scale magic attack. In Ethan's opinion, it was not even a kind of magic, but a magician's basic attack.

A large number of magic light balls rushed towards Ais who was adjusting her posture like tracking bullets.

Ai Si could only swing the enchanted Sword of Despair, chopping off the magic light bullets one by one, and constantly trying to dodge them with her high-speed body movements after they landed. Her plan was to close the distance immediately after the opponent's wave of light bullets ended, forcing the opponent to engage in close combat with her. After all, this was the fighting style that Ai Si was best at.

However, Ais miscalculated, because she found that these magic light bullets had no end in sight, and were even increasing in number.

At first she was just dodging and looking for opportunities to attack, but as time went on, she found that this was an impenetrable barrage of attacks, and she had almost no room to advance.

【Wind Blade】.

She raised her sword and slashed it at high speed. A huge wind blade was formed instantly. As Ai Si's only AOE long-range skill now, she planned to rely on it to clear the way.

This idea was effective, but the first wind blade was quickly consumed by the barrage, so she had to slash out another wind blade. Using this method, she actually began to approach Ethan.

Ethan nodded. It was indeed a good idea.

But aren't you limiting yourself to one path?

Ethan pointed his finger in Ais's direction.

【Murderous Magic】.

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 60: I Might Need Your Help

Ais fell to her knees.

Even with the protection of the ritual armor coat, he couldn't be said to be unscathed after being hit head-on by the killing magic.

[Magic Weaponry·Wind Spirit Sprint] is a buff magic suitable for ultra-high-speed combat. When it can only withstand high-powered magic, its effect is somewhat limited.

Ethan's magic control was extremely precise, and he didn't knock Ais unconscious, because he still had something to say.

After a period of contact, Ethan got to know Ess better. This girl was the type who needed to be praised. Once she encountered setbacks, her mentality would easily explode, and it would be difficult for her to win in a game against her.

She is too simple-minded and prone to going astray in her thinking. The key is that she doesn't say anything and just keeps killing monsters. The Loki family has tried many methods to appease Ais, but in the end they realized that they still have to let her get over it on her own.

Ethan's current identity is basically Ai Si's master. If he runs away after fighting here, he will probably have to appease the sword lady's emotions later, which is very troublesome.

Well, since I like your personality and face, I'll just use talk therapy to solve this problem.

"Can you still stand up?" Ethan asked, lowering his head as he stood in front of Ai Si.

Aisi subconsciously wanted to draw her sword, but her magic weapons had been removed. She was in a state of weakness and had no way to fight back.

"I must stop you..."

"Okay, okay, that's enough, Ais, it's me." Ethan sighed and cast a spell at the same time.

【Block magic】.

There are various ways to use barrier magic, and obscuring vision is just one of them.

After wrapping up the area where the two of them were, Ethan recited the chant.

“‘Ring the clock at twelve.’”

As [Ashe Woman] was released, Ethan's face appeared in front of Ais.

"!!" Ai Si's eyes were dazed. She had never imagined that she would see Ethan here. "No, it's impossible. Why is it you... Could it be that you are..."

"No, no, what are you thinking?" Ethan tossed the precious jade fetus in his hand. "I'm secretly investigating something right now. Undercover, do you understand? I'm becoming this to go undercover."

A big question mark appeared on Ais's little head.

"What is undercover?"

"...Want to explain from here?"

So, Ethan explained the definition of an undercover agent before saying, "Anyway, all you need to know is that I'm currently lurking in the enemy camp, waiting for the opportunity to kill them all. If I hadn't known you would be so persistent, I wouldn't have confronted you at this moment."

Based on Ethan's understanding of Ess, this girl is easily irritated and can be very persistent, but she also has a good quality, which is that she won't say anything when she needs to keep a secret.

If she really was a big mouth, Ethan wouldn't have taken the risk to contact her. It's better for you to get upset than to let everything leak out.

"Oh." At this moment, Ai Si was like a child who accidentally got into trouble. She knelt on the ground and was scolded obediently, with an expression of grievance on her face.

Obviously, she also knew that she had done something bad today.

"Anyway, you're going to tell Loki's people that you didn't catch up, and that... I might need your help. Is that okay?"

"Okay." Ai Si looked unusually well-behaved at this moment.

Ai Si, who already knew that she could not beat Ethan, would not lose her temper because of losing to Ethan.

"How can I help you?" Ai Si asked curiously.

"This thing has been making a lot of noise since a while ago," Ethan said, picking up the wrapped gemstone fetus in his hand. "It must be reacting to your 'wind'. This proves these guys are coming for you. So, we'll probably need you to act as 'bait' later. Of course, I'll also visit Loki's family before that. Is that okay with you?"

This is also one of the reasons why he has to confront Ai Si. If he wants to lure out the fairy clone, it may be impossible without Ai Si, and Ethan does not have the fairy bloodline.

If Ais is unwilling, then he doesn't need to go to Loki's family to discuss it, and can just continue fighting as before.

"As long as Ethan needs me, I will cooperate." Ai Si blinked and nodded.

This kid now feels like a completely different person from the sword lady who was chasing him just now...

"Anyway, I need you to keep today's events a secret for now. You can't even tell your fellow clan members, but you can tell Loki." Ethan shrugged. "You can't hide it from her anyway... Eh, forget it, there's no point in visiting. In a couple of days, have Loki find a place where we can talk about this alone."

Because Ethan suddenly realized that although Ai Si might keep a secret, with her cunningness, could she really hide it from Finn and Livilia, two cunning people?

The only good thing was that these two people wouldn't interrogate Aisi. Anyway, he needed to talk to Loki's family.

"Oh." Ai Si nodded. What Ethan said made sense.

"This is a secret between the two of us. That's it. I'll get out of the way first." Ethan felt that the time was almost up. Although the two of them had only talked for about a minute, Finn and the others should be here soon. After all, they were two level 6s, so it would be difficult for Ethan to escape.

【Become invisible】【Assassin's footwork】.

After removing the barrier, Ethan turned invisible and escaped.

Damn it, I should have done it this way from the beginning, Ethan complained to himself in his heart.

……

"Ais!"

Sure enough, not long after Ethan left, Loki's family arrived at the scene, and behind them was even a large group of adventurers who came to watch the fun.

With a strong person leading the way, they will just become machines watching the fun. In their eyes, if lv6 can't solve it, they can't escape even if they run. It might be safer to follow lv6.

"Captain..." Ais turned around and Tiona and Lefiya rushed over.

"Waaaaaah, Ais, are you okay?!"

"Miss Ais, I'm so glad you're okay!"

The two girls had tears in their eyes. If there were no outsiders watching from behind, they would have been unable to resist touching Ai Si to see if she had any injuries.

Finn's eyes quickly swept around. The surface of the ground had basically been plowed by magic, and it was completely unrecognizable from its previous appearance.

"Those are traces of magic. The opponent is a very terrifying wizard." As the most powerful wizard in Orario, Livilia's vision is extremely sharp. "Fortunately, the power of these spells is not very strong, but the range is very wide. When did such a wizard appear in Orario?"

"Ais, where are the enemies?" Finn asked directly.

"He ran away." Aisi was like a human machine at this moment, her body tensed for a moment, "I couldn't catch up, I'm sorry."

At this time, Lefiya, who was still hanging on Ais, keenly noticed that something was wrong with Ais.

"..." On the side, Finn glanced at Ais's expression, then looked at Ais's slightly restless movements, fell silent, and glanced at Vilia.

"Let's go back," Livilia announced, understanding. "That's all for today. The enemy is cunning, so we need to take a long-term approach."

Volume 2 Dungeon Encounter (I): Chapter 61 From Now On, You Are My Dog

Soon after, he found the path leading to the artificial maze on the eighteenth floor.

He changed into Riviere's appearance again, found a place in the forest to remove his invisibility, and then walked out, appearing where the pale flowers could see him.

The door opened and he walked in holding the fetus.

Then he saw an acquaintance who had been waiting for a long time.

"Well done, Rui Weisi." The white-haired ghost stood by the wall with a mocking expression on his face, similar to the expression Rui Weisi had on the 50th floor. "The captured loser knows how to make amends for his crime."

"..." Ethan looked at him strangely.

Good boy, I haven’t even started looking for you yet, and you show up on your own?

In other words, you were the one who killed that person.

"You're so shameless, you idiot," Ethan said coldly. "You even brought in Loki's followers. Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?"

"Really? But I see you've done a great job now." The white-haired ghost's smile became even more mocking. "How does it feel to be chased around by Loki's followers?"

Of course Ethan knew why this guy spoke in that tone. Because Barga was dead and Thanatos had become Ethan's puppet, the white-haired ghost couldn't reach the monitoring room for a while, nor could he see what was happening on the eighteenth floor through the monitoring screen. At most, he could only hear the vibration of the battle.

"A piece of trash who just killed someone and then hid away." Ethan said calmly.

"Do you want to die?" The white-haired ghost's eyes were bloodshot. He had become a weirdo and would only be loyal to his real boss, the fallen immortal.

"...I didn't expect that you would be the first to show murderous intention." Ethan laughed.

He wanted to continue acting for a while longer, but there was no need now.

[Magic Detection] tells him that there is no one else around.

The next second, the white-haired ghost's head fell to the ground.

Then, Ethan turned around and held the [Kalia Swift Sword] in his hand, stabbing it into the center of the chest of his fallen body.

The extremely colorful magic stone is right there.

"I heard that you were the one who caused the [Nightmare on the 27th Floor] back then. I wonder if Filvis will be happy to hear of your death."

The white-haired ghost never thought that "Rui Weisi" would actually take action as soon as she said so. The key point is, what benefit will killing himself bring to this woman?

No, this woman, can she do this kind of magic?

With his mind full of confusion, the white-haired ghost's consciousness completely disappeared.

Ethan is not so kind as to explain everything clearly before the other party dies. It is more fun to let the enemy die with regrets.

The reason I didn't kill him before was just to keep one for intelligence, but now I don't need any more intelligence. Ethan already knows enough. Should I keep this thing and go home for the New Year?

Fuck you!

At this moment, Thanatos was even concentrating on watching the surveillance video, but he glanced at Ethan and subconsciously skipped it.

Today's artificial maze remains uneventful.

The artificial maze is now basically Ethan's backyard. He can go wherever he wants and unilaterally declare that this is his territory.

Ethan glanced at the Baoyu fetus in his hand, and he wanted to study it.

It is difficult to study in the dungeon or in Orario, so the artificial maze is a very reasonable place.

So he found Thanatos, asked about a secret room, and went directly there with the fetus Baoyu. At the same time, he asked Thanatos to turn off the surveillance in the room.

The main reason is that I don't want to be seen by someone like Dionysus who might suddenly show up.

Dionysus is a god after all, so it would be rather troublesome to deal with him, so let's leave it to the end.

Ethan opened the package of Baoyu's fetus, and inside was a transparent sphere like an egg. He could clearly see the monster baby inside that did not look like a human at all.

This thing is more like a biotechnology petri dish than an egg.
