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

　Before me are monsters from the dungeon!

　He was fighting, risking his life!

　A maniacal smile crept across Roy's lips, his eyes bloodshot and menacing. If anyone else saw Roy at this moment, they would most likely mistake him for one of those crazed terrorists from the Dark Faction.

　He harbors a certain madness deep within him, and his thirst for power has become almost an obsession.

　Surprisingly, Roy quickly adapted to the dungeon battles and became familiar with the power of Grace.

　The werewolf's attacks flashed through his mind: the locations of its claws, clubs, and fangs.

　Bang!

　Roy stopped retreating and instead took the initiative, rushing forward and plunging his longsword, which he held with both hands, into the chest of the werewolf in front of him, causing the werewolf's body to explode.

　The sudden change caught even the werewolves off guard; their instincts told them what had happened to this weak human.

　But he is not a heretic after all.

　After a brief moment of surprise, the werewolves pounced on Roy, who had fallen into their midst, from all directions.

　Roy spun a large windmill, and the cold, sharp blade easily sliced ​​off the heads of three werewolves around him. Their bodies immediately exploded, and fragments of magic stones fell.

　With only one werewolf remaining, it seized the opportunity to rush behind Roy, but it was too late to swing its sword.

　Ride with the wind!

　Roy's mind raced, and he activated the special effect of his Wind Chaser Boots, increasing his agility by 30%.

　A gust of wind swirled around Roy's calves as he shifted his ankles, facing the werewolf directly. He unleashed his power instantly, charging forward with near-A-level agility on full display.

　boom!

　Roy braced himself against the wooden stick the werewolf was swinging down, and with a powerful slam, he slammed the werewolf against the wall, making a dull thud.

　The last werewolf's body convulsed and exploded.

　On the fifth floor, the entire werewolf monster horde was wiped out!

　Roy exhaled a breath of stale air, took out a bottle of low-level life potion, pried open the stopper with his thumb, and gulped it down, making a "glug glug" sound.

　The potion does not restore physical strength, but only treats injuries. A burst of emerald green light emanated from Roy's body, and a tingling sensation came from the wound on his forearm.

　The effect was remarkable; after seven or eight seconds, the wound on Roy's forearm began to scab over.

　[Strength: 5→18 (I)]

　Endurance: 8→36 (I)

　【Dexterity: 0→9 (l)】

　Roy saw the panel that popped up, and apart from his agility, which was far above the standard for that floor, which had not increased, all other attributes had increased to varying degrees.

　[Magic: 0 (I)]

　Needless to say, his magic power remains unchanged. Roy probably will only increase his magic power after acquiring magic and continuously using it.

　Or you could use cheats, investing the attribute points earned from clearing dungeons into the system to skip the training process entirely.

　Roy stretched and entered the dungeon, enjoying a satisfying slaughter of monsters. He had already accomplished half of his objective; as for the other goal…

　Before engaging in the war game with the Rudra clan, he needed to confirm whether his cheat system could be transferred to other worlds within the dungeon.

　[Giant Dungeon: Wall Maria is about to fall! For each giant killed, you will be rewarded with 30-100 attribute points based on the giant's physical abilities. A special reward will be triggered when you kill thirty giants!]

　【Do you want to go immediately? 】

　Roy reached out and moved towards the "Yes" option.

　Just as he was about to touch it, Roy shuddered, a sense of extreme danger welling up inside him, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.

　Eyes were watching him from every direction.

　Roy broke out in a cold sweat. His fingers stopped, his keen intuition telling him that if he pressed down, something terrible would happen!

　Don't be fooled by his frenzied actions when he killed the werewolf; he knew that werewolves were a worthy opponent.

　To charge headlong into an enemy you can't possibly defeat is suicide! Even if you gave the red-eyed rabbit a "heroic wish," he wouldn't dare to challenge the mighty Ota at level 2.

　Suddenly, a hint of madness, terrifying even to high-level adventurers, surfaced deep within Roy's bloodshot eyes, and he once again pressed the "yes" option with his finger.

　"hold head high!"

　A deafening roar erupted from the depths of the dungeon, filled with intense rage, rising layer by layer upwards. Upon hearing this sound, the monsters' eyes instantly turned blood red, and they became incredibly frenzied.

　The adventurers who remained in the dungeon were now in dire straits. The monsters before them had gone berserk, their attributes suddenly increasing by a level, causing them immense suffering.

　The same applies to Loki's clan, who are currently on an expedition.

　The earth shook violently, causing the entire underground city to tremble, a sensation that could be felt even on the surface.

　This roar was like a bucket of ice water poured over Roy's head. He immediately regained his composure, silently withdrew his fingers, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

　Was the dungeon a warning to him?!

　Roy's interest in the dungeon grew stronger, and information about the dungeon began to surface in his mind.

　The underground city is a huge hole that appeared three thousand years ago, the "womb" of monsters. People's knowledge of the underground city is limited to this. As for why this vast underground world exists, they know nothing.

　The only certainty is that this underground labyrinth, like humans and monsters, is "alive."

　Even if the walls are damaged, the dungeon will repair the damaged parts and restore its original structure after a period of time.

　Why is there light underground? Why are monsters born? Why does the labyrinth's structure return to its original state?

　From ancient times to the present, none of the mysteries surrounding the dungeons have been answered.

　The gods, who should be omniscient after descending to the mortal realm, seem to be feigning ignorance or genuinely unaware of the truth, refusing to reveal even a trace of it to the people.

　"An underground city is just an underground city," the gods would always say with a smile, and then brush it off.

　Roy's eyes were filled with fervor as he looked toward the dark and deep passage to the sixth level. He was determined to break through the dungeon and uncover its hidden secrets.

　Bang!

　As if sensing Roy's determination, the dungeon responded, with more than a dozen werewolves bursting out of the wall, their eyes flashing with crimson light, and surrounding him.

　"bring it on!"

　Roy was filled with pride. He planned to conquer the dungeon and turn these werewolves into his experience points as his first step.

　They rushed towards each other, and a fierce battle ensued.

Chapter 14 The Impact of the Demise of the Astrea Familia

　At this moment, Roy was unaware that chaos had erupted on the ground, and that his unintentional action had caused consequences far more serious than he had imagined.

　The entire underground city trembled violently, as if a massive earthquake had struck Orario.

　This is the first time in thousands of years that such an anomaly has occurred.

　The gods, adventurers, and residents were startled, looking around with confusion on their faces.

　The prayer room in the guild's basement.

　"Uranus, what's going on?" Fels asked the great god on the high platform urgently.

　It's common knowledge that unusual events frequently occur in the dungeons, but this particular anomaly is far more serious than the gods unleashing their divine power in the dungeons or the appearance of the calamity "Zagnat".

　It should be noted that thanks to the prayers of the great god Uranus, the underground city has been unable to affect the surface for thousands of years.

　This time, the anomaly extends directly to the ground!

　"do not know."

　The white-haired old man sitting on the prayer platform answered.

　The old man was robust and stern-faced, radiating a powerful aura far surpassing that of ordinary gods. He was one of the few great deities in the celestial realm.

　The great god Uranus!

　A thousand years ago, the first deity descended to the mortal realm, bringing divine blessings to the mortals. He continuously used divine prayers to suppress the underground city and prevent monsters from escaping. He was hailed as the "Guardian of the City" and held a lofty position.

　“It is angry, like a ferocious beast that has been provoked.” Uranus sensed the situation underground.

　Fels was speechless with shock. He had heard of people provoking monsters and adventurers, but who the hell was crazy enough to dare to provoke a dungeon? In other words, what could possibly enrage a dungeon like this? Could it be a being beyond the reach of gods?

　"Do you need anything done?"

　"No need, its anger has subsided."

　Fels and Uranus exchanged questions and answers.

　The dungeon's anger came quickly and went quickly, mainly because the person who provoked it left.

　Roy returned to the ground floor from the stairwell.

　The sky was already dark, and the sun and moon were invisible in the underground city, so the passage of time was only a vague concept.

　Roy, who had just come out, saw a blonde elf girl wearing a cloak, leaning against a pillar, hiding in the shadows, trying her best to avoid being seen.

　The dungeon is vast and boundless; the elven girl couldn't possibly go in to look for Roy. What if he had already left the dungeon? Wouldn't she have wasted her time?

　When the elven girl saw Roy emerge, she was still shocked. "What are you thinking? Are you crazy? Entering the dungeon without any armor!"

　Ryu looked at him as if he were a freak.

　Roy's clothes were badly torn, and by the marks, one could imagine the damage the monster had inflicted on him. Although the wounds had scabbed over, they were still stained with blood.

　The monsters in the dungeon have an advantage in numbers. Even if your attributes meet the requirements for defeating them, it's inevitable that you'll encounter some bumps and scrapes. Normal people would wear protective gear, and if they get injured, the consequences could be disastrous.

　Despite not wearing any armor, the elven girl's clothes were incredibly resilient, impervious to ordinary swords and blades. Coupled with her high agility and simultaneous chanting, she didn't want the heavy armor to slow her down.

　Faced with Ryu's question, Roy scratched his head and said, "I just released all the passion I've accumulated over the past fifteen years in the dungeon and temporarily entered sage mode."

　After saying that, a look of fatigue flashed across Roy's face as he walked towards the stairs and took the automatic magic stone elevator.

　Looking at Roy's back, Ryu felt like her head was about to split open. What was wrong with this guy?

　The Tower of Babel has special bathing rooms where adventurers who have worked up a sweat in the dungeon can enjoy a bath and cleanse their bodies for a dozen or so falis.

　Where there is demand, there will be supply.

　Inside the Tower of Babel, there is also a dedicated commercial street with everything from equipment and clothing to food, as well as a small exchange shop for magic stone fragments.

　Roy went to the shop floor inside the tower first and bought a set of clothes that fit him, spending nearly a thousand falies. He didn't feel bad about it; the rent for shops inside the Tower of Babel was more expensive than in other places, so the prices of things should be higher as well.

　This is equivalent to spending money at a tourist attraction.

　Inside the shower, the hot water from the showerhead washed away the blood and sweat from Roy's body.

　The gentle flow of water brushed over the scabbed wound, and a slight stinging sensation could still be felt.

　Roy closed his eyes, his mind flashing back to the battles in the dungeon. In those thrilling moments, he learned from his past experiences and gained new insights by recalling what he had missed.

　A moment later, Roy, dressed in new clothes and looking refreshed, walked out of the Tower of Babel and said to the elven girl, "Give me a place to stay. I'm helping you deal with the dark faction, and you don't even have food and lodging? That's inhumane."

　……

　After a day of fermentation, the news within the guild quickly spread throughout the city, and everyone knew that the Astrea Familia had been wiped out, shocking the entire city.

　Those who had been helped by Ryu, Alisha, and others had tears in their eyes, feeling intense sorrow and resentment at the injustice of the world, lamenting that good people don't live long while evil ones live for a thousand years.

　The entire city of Orario was plunged into an atmosphere of sadness.

　In contrast, the adventurers were more interested in the bounty quest that Liu had offered, which cost 80 million fali!

　Adventurers at level 5 were all excited.

　Many people have already begun searching for traces of the Rudraksha clan. Each head is worth hundreds of thousands of fali, which is much more profitable than the dungeons.

　If we could get the heads of the Rudraksha clan leaders, we would receive at least several million, or even tens of millions of Dharmali!

　A remote, old church in Orario.

　This is one of the strongholds of the Rudraksha clan. At this moment, dozens of people are gathered in the church, with several tables of food and wine set up. They are toasting and exchanging drinks in a lively atmosphere.

　"Haha, those stinking women of the Astrea Familia are finally dead. No one's chasing after us anymore, shouting about carrying out some bullshit justice." A burly man with a face full of scars took a big gulp of strong liquor.

　"cheers!!"

　The people around him joined in and burst into laughter.

　Of course, the happiest people about the destruction of the Astrea Familia were their group.

　Amidst the laughter, some people raised a question: "But what exactly is that monster?"
