I draw cards infinitely in the world of anime.

She's a mage, after all. All her strength comes from magic. Now that Kong Yang has such skills, can she still surpass him and teach him a lesson?

At this moment, Kong Yang, holding his Zanpakuto, walked step by step toward Cerberus.

'Roar~'

As Kong Yang drew closer, Cerberus roared, but its injuries made it like a paper tiger with its teeth pulled.

'Pfft~'

The Zanpakuto's blade pierced straight through the middle head of Cerberus.

The powerful dark magic surged directly into Cerberus's body, and within a single breath, it completely destroyed Cerberus's life.

With a loud 'bang,' the three-headed hellhound turned into a black eye, leaving behind only a magic stone.

"So strong~"

Tiony was quite surprised to see Kong Yang so easily defeat Cerberus.

After all, Kong Yang is only level 3. He killed the level 3 enhanced monster so easily, which means that Kong Yang has already far surpassed the monster.

"It really surprises me. Loki was right, he is a monster."

"Ah."

Finn and Riveria were at a loss for words to describe their feelings at that moment.

Despite Loki's prior warning, I was still awestruck after witnessing it firsthand.

Angie, standing in the crowd, watched Kong Yang display his incredible prowess with a gleam in her eyes.

He's so incredibly handsome, with amazing strength, terrifying potential, and striking good looks. There's only one man like him in the entire Orario.

Recalling what Finn had told her yesterday, she was already tempted.

Although she wouldn't be his only woman, what did it matter if she were just a lover, being dependent on such a powerful man?

Unlike humans, Angie, as a beast-race demi-human, has a gene that admires the strong, and it is only natural for her to submit to and depend on the strong.

The strong possess everything, while the weak have nothing; this is the law of the world.

"Kong Yang, it seems you're only a little short of leveling up. Shall we go to the deeper levels?"

Finn spoke up because he wanted to see just how strong Kong Yang really was.

"Okay, but if we go deeper, we might not be able to get back to Orario today."

"It's alright, we can just stay one night in the town on the eighteenth floor."

"Finn, the prices in that town are outrageously high."

"It's alright, I'll pay for this myself."

"Then there's no problem."

Finn was both amused and exasperated; he found Kong Yang's behavior quite laughable.

Although the cooperation with the Hephaestus Familia has ended, Kong Yang alone received more than 300 million to nearly 400 million Fali from the profits generated by the cooperation.

With such a huge sum of money, how could Kong Yang possibly be short of cash?

And so, the group passed through the seventeen layers of crystal walls and finally arrived at the safe floor of the underground city—the eighteenth floor.

Kong Yang had been grinding monsters on the 35th floor until he was almost sick of it, so he made up his mind that he would never come back to the dungeon for three to five days. However, things didn't go as planned, and he ended up back again.

Upon arriving in the adventurer's town, Finn sensed that something was amiss.

Kong Yang looked with great interest at the sign at the entrance of the town, which had a line of text followed by a string of numbers.

Rivera, No. 3340

Kong Yang was filled with surprise. 3340, which means this place has been destroyed more than 3,300 times.

This makes one marvel at how wondrous time truly is.

"Huh? 3340, it's been rebuilt again."

Tiona looked over because of Kong Yang, and immediately smiled when she saw the numbers.

Kong Yang then said that you used the word "again" well.

"Speaking of which, Goliath on the seventeenth floor hasn't respawned yet. I was thinking I could make some money."

Tiona sighed as she walked, now burdened with a debt of 120 million to build a new weapon.

"The adventurers in town would regularly go to clean Goliath, saying it was to clear the passage and protect the town's safety."

Finn smiled slightly and said this, but everyone else just pursed their lips.

"Those bastards, they're just after money, why would they protect the town's safety? This town doesn't need protection, it gets destroyed every few days, and rebuilding it has become a daily routine for them."

Tiona curled her lip at this; the loot dropped by the floor master could fetch an astronomical price.

There were many people setting up stalls around, selling ordinary weapons, armor, and daily necessities, but most of them were priced at more than ten times that of Orario.

Here, even a simple rye bread is considered a delicacy.

Because this is an underground city, all resources are scarce.

This is why some merchants have emerged who specialize in buying and selling here, sourcing goods in Orario and reselling them here, earning nearly ten times the profit.

Of course, adventurers aren't stupid; unless they're truly desperate, no one will spend money here.

But the dungeon is not a good place; no one knows what will happen next.

Every day, people are forced to make purchases here due to unforeseen circumstances.

Kong Yang had only been here once or twice. He carried various delicacies and drinks with him, as well as the treasure trove of the King's Treasury, so there was no way he would be forced into a situation.

Therefore, even if you enter the eighteenth floor, you're mostly just passing through, and at most you'll take a bath in the pond or pool.

Chapter 125 Murder Case!

Walking along the street, we soon arrived at an area of ​​hotels.

After all, most adventurers come here to rest for the night. Everyone has to be careful in this dungeon because it is alive and will show its fangs when adventurers are at their weakest.

Spending the night in the underground city is tantamount to courting death, which is why this town has been destroyed and rebuilt time and time again.

Adventurers need a safe place to rest, and naturally, there are endless business opportunities within it.

Walking down the street, looking at the dilapidated wooden houses all around, Kong Yang was somewhat speechless.

It's really rudimentary. Moreover, when it was first built, the house was just constructed haphazardly. After all, monster riots would occur from time to time, destroying the town again. There was no need to build it any better.

"Commander, something's not right."

Tione frowned slightly as he looked around. Many of the merchants here were looking at him and his group with strange eyes.

Not only that, there were almost no adventurers on the street. Normally, this place would be bustling with people, if not completely deserted. This clearly indicates that something terrible has happened here.

"Indeed, I didn't see many people after I came in."

Finn also noticed something amiss and narrowed his eyes slightly. He had a feeling that something must have happened.

"What should we do, Finn?"

Riveria asked, after all, Finn was the leader of the Familia, and he was the one who made the decisions.

"Let's find out first, then split up."

“I think it’s unnecessary, Finn,”

"Ok?"

Following Riveria's gaze, they saw a man walking out of an inn not far away.

Upon seeing this, Finn immediately understood, because this guy was the boss here, and it was the most appropriate person to go to if there was anything, plus they were all acquaintances.

"Yo, Borus."

"Huh? Who called me?"

Upon hearing the sound, Polus instinctively turned around, but his expression froze when he saw Finn and the others.

Polus, a level 3 adventurer, is the gang leader of the adventurer town 'Rivera', and the boss of this town (doge).

"The Loki Familia? The Hero, the Nine Demon Princesses, the Sword Princess, the Furious Serpent, the Great Slayer, and that Collector who's been making headlines lately?"

"Damn it, don't call me by that name."

Tiona immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, "That 'big cut' thing is just too awful to hear!"

"What happened, Polus?"

Finn went over and asked.

"You've come at just the right time. To be honest, meeting you at this time is really not a good thing."

"what happened?"

"Someone died. Someone died at Billy's hotel."

Polus's face was very ugly. This was his territory, and he was the one who set the rules.

This small town is where he makes his fortune, so naturally he can't allow any messy things to happen, especially murder. After all, if this place becomes chaotic, how can he make money?

Now that someone has died here, if this isn't handled properly, it will definitely cause a significant drop in business here.

After all, no one returns to a place where people might die; people come here for peace and safety.

"Do you need any help?"

"Help? You guys?"

Polus looked the group of people up and down, his face full of suspicion.

A group of top adventurers came here to help? That's really strange.

"I don't have any money to pay you."

Borus's first reaction was to refuse to pay.

"That's not what I meant. After all, we'll be staying here tonight, so it's best to deal with things as soon as possible."

"I see. Okay, then come with me."

Upon hearing Finn's words, Boluston immediately nodded and then stepped forward to lead the way.

Meanwhile, Bolus was secretly overjoyed. Finn, Riveria, and Fiora were all level 6, and the Furious Serpent and Great Slash were also level 5. With their help, and all for free, he was really making a killing.

Finn also saw through Borus's thoughts, but did not point it out.

Soon, led by Polus, the group arrived at an inn, where they were surrounded by people watching the spectacle.

"Looks like getting in will be a bit troublesome."

Finn, dressed in a tight outfit, felt a little helpless; there were just too many people.

'Buzz~'

But, in a sudden instant, a terrifying pressure descended.

The once bustling crowd instantly fell silent.

"Get out of the way."

Kong Yang uttered these two words calmly.

The next second, everyone immediately made way for them without the slightest hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Polus's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Damn, do you have to be this awesome? And you bastards are really going along with him!"

What he didn't know was that, just a moment ago, Kong Yang had released a shallow amount of Conqueror's Haki.

Because it was only projected externally, it didn't knock anyone unconscious, but it did instill a subconscious fear of Kong Yang in these people.

Those who lack willpower and are weak are simply unable to maintain their willpower under Conqueror's Haki.

Therefore, even if only a slight amount of Conqueror's Haki is released, it is enough to shock everyone.

And so, led by Kong Yang, the group went inside.

What just happened?

"I don't know, I just instinctively moved aside."
