In this chaotic world, it all started when they found an elf girl

　The emerging emerald green orbs of light engulfed all of Kibu Muzan's flesh. This light-attribute magic was no less harmful to demons than sunlight. Even the smallest pieces of Kibu Muzan's flesh would be destroyed if they were exposed to the light.

　When the panel showing the successful defeat popped up in front of Roy, he knew that the evil king who had dominated the island nation for thousands of years and killed countless people was completely dead!

　Demon Slayer Headquarters.

　Kagaya Ubuyashiki, on the verge of death, suddenly sat up. His family was related to Muzan Kibutsugu by blood, and they had been cursed for generations, unable to live past 30. Now, all his illness and curse had disappeared, and he had fully recovered to be a normal person.

　"Kibu Muzan is dead!" Ubuyashiki Kagaya said with certainty, his ancestor was definitely dead!

　The surrounding pillars were taken aback.

　"Although we don't know who did it, let us express our gratitude to that nameless hero," Kagaya Ubuyashiki said softly. At the same time, demons throughout the island nation vanished into thin air; they were all created by Muzan Kibu, their fates intertwined with his. The Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen wept bitterly, realizing that their millennia of perseverance and sacrifice had been worthwhile.

　[By hunting down Kibu, Muzan succeeded, obtaining the "Demon King's Blood," the "Demon King's Armor," and a silver treasure chest!]

　[Dungeon quest complete! 121 demons defeated. Congratulations on gaining 2950 attribute points!]

　Name: Roy

　Rating: 2

　Strength: 798 → 1260 (SSS)

　Endurance: 752→1295 (SSS)

　Dexterity: 692 → 1225 (SSS)

　Agility: 795 → 1325 (SSS)

　Magic Power: 951 → 1833 (SSS)

　Development Ability: Adventure (l)

　Skills: My Lord is Here, Blood for Blood, Elven Kingship

　Magic: Lord of Thunder, Wind of Light, Noah's Healing

　Roy added all the attribute points he gained, bringing him close to the limit of his own potential. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, all his stats would break through to SSS level. His magic attribute, in particular, was boosted by the Elf King's bloodline, reaching a whopping 1833!

　He is not a magical race, yet he has reached this level. If others knew, they would probably be so jealous that their eyes would turn bloodshot.

　Roy looked at the other panel. Sure enough, only the old guys could get gold coins. In the Parasite Beast dungeon, Goto also had the strength of LV.4, but he didn't get anything. Kibu, on the other hand, gave Muzan two items.

　Name: Demon King's Armor

　Quality: Epic

　Special Effect (Wrath of the Demon King): Consumes the user's own blood to boost all stats! Each activation of this effect reduces durability by 10%. Durability: 99%

　Name: Blood of the Demon King

　Quality: Uncertain

　Description: After drinking, one transforms into a demon, gaining near-limitless cell regeneration abilities, limb regeneration, and a significant increase in stamina. Side effects: Exposure to sunlight will cause a burning sensation; prolonged exposure will result in complete annihilation. There is a certain probability of inheriting the cowardly and timid personality of Muzan, the demon king. Roy's face darkened upon seeing the descriptions of the two items. As expected of items Muzan obtained through the demon king's actions, they all carried negative effects. The Demon King's Armor easily causes anemia.

　Compared to the Elf King's blood, which has only positive effects, this Demon King's blood has a ton of side effects. The Demon Dance instilled Muzan's fear of Yoriichi Tsugikuni into his DNA. Anyone who consumes it is an idiot!

　Roy's eyes lit up. This seemed like a good way to trick people. He randomly picked a lucky one...

　Roy clicks "Open Treasure Chest".

　[The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened. Congratulations on obtaining the Equipment Fusion Device and the Space Ring.]

　Name: Equipment Fusion Device

　Quality: Uncertain

　Description: This allows you to fuse two pieces of equipment to obtain a higher quality item and inherit special effects.

　Name: Space Ring

　Quality: Epic

　Description: It has a built-in space of 10 square meters and 10 meters high, which can store items, but cannot store living creatures.

　Durability: 99%

　Roy's eyes lit up when he saw what he got from the silver treasure chest. This was much better than what Kibu and Muzan had dropped, and it was even his own cheat code! Especially the spatial ring!!

　Everything he acquired before was stored in the system and hadn't been retrieved, such as potions. He would retrieve them when he wanted to use them, which was a kind of bug-exploiting behavior. However, the system couldn't store anything in it.

　The most troublesome thing in the dungeon is the supply problem; you can't go very far without water and food.

　In particular, expeditions that venture into deeper dungeons are often forced to return due to insufficient supplies, having to abandon the precious materials they encounter in the dungeons and the resources dropped by monsters.

　Now that he had the spatial ring, all these troubles would be easily solved. Food, equipment, materials, and so on could simply be tossed inside. Roy couldn't wait to take out the spatial ring.

　call out!

　An unremarkable silver ring landed on his hand, but if its storage function were revealed, adventurers from Orario, no, from the entire world, would rush to snatch it away.

　Roy wore the ring on his left ring finger, a space of about ten square meters appearing in his mind. Even with his calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. The great achievement had already been accomplished. Since his ability values ​​had been pushed to the limit, Roy didn't hesitate and clicked "Upgrade." The old panel gradually faded away, and a new LV.3 ability value panel appeared, showing all attributes.

　Abnormal resistance, hunter, mage!

　Upon reaching LV.3, a panel will pop up in front of Roy, allowing him to choose one of three development abilities.

　The first two are self-explanatory, as they also appeared when you level up to LV.2. The last one, "Magician," can enhance the power of magic and reduce mental energy consumption.

　After a moment's hesitation, Roy finally chose "Abnormal Resistance," an essential ability for exploring dungeons, as it performs well in dealing with abnormal states such as poisoning and disease.

　Name: Roy

　Rating: 3

　Strength: О(l)

　Endurance: 0 (l)

　Dexterity: О (|)

　Agility: О(l)

　Magic: О(l)

　Development Abilities: Adventure (H), Abnormal Resistance (I)

　The "Adventure" development capability has been upgraded from I to H.

　For this upgrade, Roy did not seek help from the goddess Astraea.

　The Elven Kingship skill is of great importance. Elves will not allow a "King" to appear above their heads for no reason. Even the goddess Astrea, who is very principled, dares not let the other party know.

　"Miss Liu, you've worked hard!"

　Roy looked at the heroine of the expedition, the beautiful elven girl standing on the ruins of the Infinite City, the cool moonlight shining upon her, making her shimmer. The elven girl had slain at least twice as many demons as him, and her proficiency and control over the magic "Wind of Light" far surpassed Ryu's. In conclusion: Miss Ryu is the MVP, while he was just an unlucky winner!

　Seeing Roy's barely suppressed smile, Ryu knew that he must have gained a lot of benefits.

　"This is our contract."

　Even though they were already inseparable, Ryu still insisted on this point verbally, as if it was the driving force that sustained her. She didn't know what she would become if she lost the goal of "reviving her best friend".

　After finishing their work, the two returned to the Star Garden.

　Roy didn't announce that he had reached LV.3, otherwise the guild would definitely have asked them to go deeper into the expedition. For the first expedition, exploring the 24th floor was enough.

　Daphne and Cassandra's stats have reached their potential limit, and Roy wanted to raise them to LV.2 before sending them on the expedition. However, the drawbacks of using dungeons to quickly increase stats became apparent.

　Not enough accumulation!

　Their combat skills, experience, and mindset are lacking; neither of them possesses the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels.

　Roy couldn't do anything about it, since he couldn't force everyone to have the same SSS-level ability values ​​as him.

　Achieving great things through other means is more troublesome, requiring years of in-depth cultivation in a field, and finally, at some point, achieving something beyond one's own capabilities. Perhaps only when Roy and Ryu fight monsters, by following behind and gaining experience, can they reach LV.2. Since they are only consuming scraps of experience, the monsters they have to fight must be of a very high level.

　Having completed the LV.3 upgrade, Roy only has two things left to do: master the LV.3 power and prepare for the upcoming dungeon expedition. He can practice with Miss Ryu on the former.

　The two figures flashed rapidly across the courtyard, their weapons clashing and clanging, barely stopping until the expedition began. Roy mastered LV.3 power with incredible speed, even chanting while moving.

　“LV. ..”

　Ryu felt the power emanating from Roy, and disbelief filled the depths of her sky-blue eyes.

　This upgrade speed is too fast.

　Roy has only been at LV.2 for a little over forty days, undoubtedly breaking the adventurer's leveling record once again.

　Ryu had mixed feelings. The scene of her first meeting with Roy was still vivid in her mind. At that time, he was just a LV.1 newbie who had just received the favor. In her eyes, there were countless flaws in the way he walked.

　Now, the other party has grown into a qualified adventurer and is catching up with her at an extremely fast pace.

　Daphne and Cassandra, standing in the courtyard, watched Roy and Ryu, the devilish instructor, fighting to a standstill, speechless with astonishment. Ryu finally stopped, saying, "That's enough!"

　"call!"

　Roy breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his sore shoulders, and looked at Liu with a hint of amazement. Liu's current ability level was unmatched at LV.3.

　However, they could only barely hold on under the opponent's control.

　The higher the level, the greater the gap. It's no joke. Of course, Ryu is an exception.

　Liu advanced to LV.4 after two years of fierce fighting, and has been fighting ever since. The experience she has accumulated is terrifying, and her opponent is about to advance to LV.5.

　Orario is never short of geniuses. Ryu went from LV.1 to LV.4 in just three short years, and her talent is in no way inferior to Ais Wallenstein's. After training, the group went out to purchase the supplies and equipment needed for the expedition.

　Fortunately, defeating the Apollo Familia significantly increased their funds; otherwise, they would have been forced to risk their lives in the dungeon with their meager equipment. Ryu was far more experienced in this regard. Roy didn't get involved, but he gave Ryu the Goliath Scarf to make into a cloak. The Goliath Scarf possessed extremely high defensive capabilities; even the Zagnat born on the 27th floor couldn't penetrate it.

　With the Demon King's Armor, Roy's epic defense is very reliable even without the blood-consuming effect, and Tsubaki Kobrand's failed creation has been retired.

　The large cloak was tossed to Cassandra to prevent the healer from being instantly killed.

　The massive purchases wiped out the family's assets, leaving them with less than 100,000 francs in savings.

　Roy laughed, "Looks like we need to make a lot of money on this expedition, or we'll be starving again."

　Daphne and Cassandra gave wry smiles, and Liu's delicate lips also curled up slightly.

　"But with such a big bag of stuff, should we ask for help?" Cassandra asked hesitantly.

　All eyes were fixed on the enormous backpack before them, resembling the size of an orc, filled with all the supplies and equipment they needed for their expedition. Generally, a team needs a support member, and their skills leaned towards that, but hiring one would certainly be an additional expense. The money wasn't the problem; the real issue was trust.

　In the complex and eerie underground city, no one is willing to entrust their back to a stranger.

　Daphne volunteered, "I can carry it!"

　Roy and Liu are destined to be the main force of the expedition, while Cassandra, the healer, is powerless... so the most suitable candidate is undoubtedly her. "Don't worry, I have a plan." A mysterious smile appeared on Roy's face.

　Everyone looked at Roy, whose left hand was on his backpack. Suddenly, the huge backpack vanished right in front of them. "JPY? ???"

　Everyone's eyes widened in surprise, even the well-informed Liu. They rubbed their eyes, searched the surroundings, but found nothing. Finally, their gaze returned to Roy.

　"Just think of it as me having a special skill: the ability to temporarily store supplies," Roy said with a smile.

　Roy mentally connected with the spatial ring, where supplies worth tens of millions lay quietly.

　Everyone's faces were numb; with Roy, nothing seemed to happen to him.

　Immediately realizing the value and function of this "skill," everyone's eyes lit up. It was practically a divine skill for traveling and exploring dungeons! They pulled Roy aside to ask for more details.

　A gentle smile graced the goddess Astraea's beautiful face as she watched Roy and his companions depart from the Star Court to embark on their expedition to the Tower of Babel.

Chapter 91 Breaking Through the Monster's Feast (Please Subscribe)

　After traversing the long streets, Roy and his group of four arrived at the spacious Tower of Babel Square.

　Early in the morning, many adventurers had already entered the dungeon one after another; this was their daily routine.

　The appearance of Roy's four-person group attracted considerable attention, with lower-level adventurers showing envy in their eyes—they were an expeditionary force. Only familias recognized by the guild for their strength were sent on expeditions, and in Orario, very few familias possessed this qualification; they were all renowned and powerful familias.

　Expeditions also mean bringing back information about unknown dungeons, a cause that benefits everyone.

　Roy and his companions were dressed in very luxurious equipment, and also bore the insignia of the Hephaestus Familia.

　For example, Cassandra's Sacred Crystal Staff, a wand that greatly enhances the "magic power" of mages and healers, is worth 1200000 Fali. Roy, needless to say, is armed to the teeth, wearing Wind Chaser Boots, a steel arm guard on his left hand, and the Demon King's Armor on his chest... All his equipment had been maintained by a blacksmith or Asphie before setting off.

　Even with the magical spatial ring, Roy didn't let his guard down at all. He had Daphne carry a huge backpack, the same kind as the supporters', filled with a lot of heavy things.

　After entering the dungeon, Roy put away the huge backpack, and the team entered fast-moving mode.

　Roy and his group of four broke through to the twelfth floor at an extremely fast speed, clearing out the monsters along the way. The upper floors posed no challenge for them.
