A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Today, Chen Hai decided to use the 'Dragon Language Magic' that he had copied from the dead dragon Igni.

When he uttered those words, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next instant, the frost arrow that Riveria released seemed to have hit an invisible wall, collapsing, shattering, and dissipating into nothingness.

Seeing this, Riveria quickly adjusted her strategy, unleashing a series of magical attacks in an attempt to find a weakness in Chenhai's defenses.

Fire, frost, lightning...

Various elements intertwined, forming a magnificent yet deadly magical storm.

Each attack carries a powerful magical fluctuation, enough to destroy anything that stands in its way.

She first cast 'Ecstasy of Fimbulb Winter', a powerful ice spell that could completely freeze a certain area and its target with three blizzards.

Accompanied by her chanting

"—O harbinger of the end, oh, the snow. As dusk approaches, let the winds rise and the closed light be swept away, let the frozen earth be blanketed in snow, the third winter—my name is Alfre."

Frost began to form over the entire courtyard, as if even time itself was frozen.

Despite such a terrifying attack, Chen Hai remained calm and composed.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a few syllables.

As these syllables fell, it was as if some invisible force was awakened in the air.

Like 'Word of Power', the essence of 'Dragon Language Magic' is to control the released power and detonate it in space.

Moreover, this attack has no casting animation or recovery animation, so you can say it's 'point and shoot'.

boom!

The power controlled by words began to run rampant.

It was a ball of fire.

However, it was not an ordinary flame, but an energy with strong destructive power, enough to tear space itself apart.

Its name is—The Blazing Flames of the Dead Dragon.

The core of the copied skill.

"kindness?!"

Riveria sensed spatial fluctuations.

The flames, born from the void and igniting the scene, exploded right before our eyes!

Riveria swiftly cast 'Dimensional Concealment', a 'barrier magic' that completely blocks both physical and magical attacks.

Accompanied by her chanting

"—Dance, spirits of the air, masters of light. I have made a pact with the guardian of the forest, hoping the song of the earth will envelop us..."

boom! ! !

The explosion pierced through the front-line shields used for defense, interrupting Riveria's incantation.

And so, the raging flames, manipulated by words, pierced through the last barrier and completely suppressed Riveria.

Despite being at a disadvantage, Riveria did not give up the fight.

She concentrated all her mental energy, attempting to summon even more powerful magic to fight back.

But the surrounding flames became even more restless.

"It's time to finish."

Chen Hai simply spoke.

The power of the 'Dragon Language Magic' increased further, and the surrounding magic was also burned away!

Feeling as if her body was being drained, Riveria quickly took a few steps back.

"I lost."

There's no point in persisting.

Riveria was well aware of this.

Neither side was taking it seriously; both held back.

It is clear that there is no chance for Crivalia to win.

Because the flames she had just seen not only disrupted her spell, but also burned her magical power.

It's practically a 'mage nemesis' designed specifically for mages.

Upon hearing her say that, Chen Hai withdrew his power.

"Thank you for your guidance..."

Riveria immediately thanked her.

"No, it's me who's in charge. The child has been taken care of by you."

"It's nothing, I just helped her with a training battle."

"As a token of my gratitude, Miss Rivera, would you like to have dinner together?"

Ugh?

Riveria was taken aback for a moment.

If it's about eating...

Does it mean having dinner with Chen Hai?

After Ais was taken in by Chen Hai as a member of the city, Riveria really wanted to get to know the person who would teach Ais in the future.

Therefore, she readily agreed.

"Then I'll excuse you."

Riveria accepted the invitation.

"So, Miss Rivera, what are some of your favorite foods?"

"I don't have any particular favorite foods, but the food at the tavern 'The Abundant Mistress' is pretty good."

"We can go there then."

Chen Hai arrived in Orario but had not yet visited "The Fertile Mistress".

Saeko Busujima, standing to one side, looked at the two people in front of her and wondered why... the atmosphere had suddenly become quite pleasant.

what about me?

Faced with this situation, Saeko Busujima pondered what she could do.

Chapter 51 Hestia: The Cat Who Stole Fish? Adventurers: Long Live Chenhai!

On the west side of the central square of the Tower of Babel, the most popular tavern is the "Abundant Mistress".

Tonight, it welcomed an extraordinary customer—the Lord of the Orario Dungeon.

"Did the Adventurers' Guild send someone to make the reservation?"

Near the tavern bar, the cat-woman Anya, carrying a tray, looked at her friend beside her.

Chloe, a black cat who also belonged to the cat-people race, nodded.

As she wiped up the spilled drinks with a towel, she said...

"That's right, he's the guild leader's secretary. That uncle even told the shop manager he wanted to 'book the whole place,' but the shop manager refused."

"They actually refused, but that's our manager, so it's understandable; this is a tavern for everyone, and we don't serve just one person."

Anya strongly agreed with her boss's decision.

Cough!

A coughing sound rang out.

The two cat-girls looked to their left and saw the shop manager, Mia Grando, walking out of the kitchen with her hands on her hips.

Although Mia is a dwarf, her aura makes her seem exceptionally imposing.

"You two stop chatting. We'll have a lot of customers today, so get moving."

"Let's get to work, meow!"

Whether it was Anya or Kroi, after being instructed by the shop manager, they ran to the kitchen and took the things they were carrying there to be washed.

Seeing their lively figures, Lunova, who had just seen off the guests, walked over to the shop manager.

"The guild leader's secretary offered a good price for the entire venue, so why didn't the shop manager agree?"

"How could we agree to that? We've prepared so many ingredients today, it would be a waste if we couldn't sell them. After all, if we're only serving a few people, we simply can't consume them all."

"So that's the reason. The store manager is more concerned about whether there is waste than whether it makes money."

"You're right, what I hate most is waste."

As soon as Mia finished speaking, a second figure appeared beside her—Shel Frova.

At that moment, Seele ran to the shopkeeper's side.

"I peeked out from the doorway and saw that the legendary dungeon lord was coming."

"Oh, no problem, the seats have been reserved for them, I guarantee they'll be satisfied."

Before Mia could finish speaking, she waved her hand dramatically.

"Now comes the main event, so get to work."

"oh oh."

Seele and Lunova exchanged a glance and joined in the call from Mia, the shopkeeper beside them.

Chen Hai is about to arrive at the 'Abundant Mistress'.

He was not alone.

Those dining with us tonight include Hestia, Rei Miyamoto, the Takagi mother and daughter, Shizuka Marikawa, and Saeko Busujima.

As for Riveria, who was invited earlier, she is waiting near the store entrance.

Half a minute later, Chen Hai led the girls to the place where they would meet Riveria.

Upon seeing Chen Hai, the other party immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"good evening."

Good evening, Miss Rivera.

"It looks like tonight is going to be quite lively."

After Rivera finished speaking, she glanced at the girls surrounding Chen Hai.

At this moment, Hestia took a step forward.

"What a coincidence, the vice commander of the Loki family."

Hestia, who didn't get along well with Loki, narrowed her eyes and sized up Riveria.

"Lady Hestia, please take care of me tonight."

"Sure, actually I'd also like to talk about the 'Loki Familia'."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"When do you guys train, etc."

Well, Hestia's response was a classic case of making conversation out of nothing.

To avoid embarrassment, Baili led the women into the store.

With his identity as the dungeon lord and the beautiful women surrounding him, Chen Hai's seat immediately became the focus of attention for the customers in the store.

Hestia chose her seat first, right to Chen Hai's left.
