I draw cards infinitely in the world of anime.

Everyone immediately refused. Although they belonged to the same clan, they were not familiar with Kong Yang, and they were different from him. Kong Yang was a promising young talent with unlimited potential, while they were far inferior.

And so, the expeditionary force entered the underground city in a grand procession.

Along the way, they have attracted much attention. As the largest exploration-oriented family in Orario, the Loki Family holds the record for dungeon exploration.

Much of the firsthand intelligence came from the Loki Familia, which demonstrates their influence.

Walking at the front of the line, I felt all sorts of gazes around me—curious, envious, admiring, jealous, and so on.

All of this now belongs to Kong Yang. In just three and a half months, he has gone from an ordinary person to this point, which is indeed very impressive.

Once inside the dungeon, there were very few monsters along the way; they were all dealt with by the first group ahead of them.

Even if there are monsters, they are all newly born monsters, and their numbers are not many.

All of this was handled by the clan members responsible for this aspect, without Kong Yang having any say in it.

Kong Yang's only task was to collect all the magic stones and drops along the way, and to provide some assistance when needed; that was all.

Kong Yang, as the core of the team, is practically a bureaucrat within the team, needing to do nothing.

This made Kong Yang sigh a bit. In the past, it would have taken a lot of effort for him to go to the deeper levels, since there were quite a few monsters along the way, and he had to deal with them in order to pass through.

Now it's great, I just need to move forward step by step, and others will handle the rest. It's really great.

Chapter 142 The Black Minotaur!

Strolling through the underground city's levels, Kong Yang moved with the ease and nonchalance of a leisurely stroll.

At this moment, Tsubaki, who was originally in Hephaestus's Familia, came back to life.

"You look quite comfortable."

"My role in the expedition is that of a human-shaped, self-contained warehouse; a warehouse doesn't need to worry about anything else."

"What a blatant display of arrogance."

"There's no way around it, I'm just that good."

As she spoke, she tossed her hair and gave Chunxiu a good wringer.

However, since the two shared a bed, she had long been immune to Kong Yang's advances.

Grace, standing to the side, was speechless. Yesterday, Haruhime's arrival almost caused trouble, and today she's already getting along so well with Tsubaki. It's really amazing.

This also made Grace feel like she was getting old.

Especially since Chun is a half-dwarf, her physique doesn't resemble that of a dwarf at all.

And so, there were no troubles along the way. After all, they were only in the upper-middle level, and the weakest member of the team was only level 3. At such a level, it was impossible for anything to happen.

"It smelled of blood, and it was very close."

At this moment, Angie, who was in the group, suddenly spoke up. As a member of the cat race, she had a very keen sense of smell.

"This is an underground city, so it's normal to smell blood."

Raul didn't take it seriously, after all, people died every day in the dungeon, and it wasn't just humans, monsters also bled.

The others around them did the same, and didn't take the matter to heart.

'Aww~'

Just then, at the end of the road, a crimson minotaur, wielding a massive sword, walked towards them step by step.

Beside it, a corpse torn in two lay discarded.

On this road, two figures were running rapidly toward this place.

"Hey, isn't that your little brother?"

Chun spoke slowly, as she approached the person who had run over.

"Ah~"

Kong Yang nodded. The two people were Bell and Lily.

The minotaur behind them was the Minotaur, and a Minotaur wielding a sword at that.

"Received by the rabbit."

"Big brother?"

The moment Bell saw Kong Yang, he felt reassured and quickly ran over.

Lily also looked hopeful; in her heart, Kong Yang had long been deified.

'Boom~'

The moment Bell arrived, Kong Yang gave him a sharp rap on the head.

Suddenly, Belle's joy and surprise turned into shame and indignation, because Kong Yang would hit her on the head every time he saw her.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting someone on the head? Are you even a man?"

Chun quickly pulled Belle over; she had a good impression of this girl who looked like a little rabbit.

"What have you done now? Where did you provoke the Minotaur, and it even looks like a boosted version?"

"I don't know either. It appeared as soon as I arrived here."

Bell was also very aggrieved; he had encountered a monster, but what did it have to do with him?

Kong Yang was speechless. Was this just the inertia of the plot?

Even without the previous plot, would Bale still encounter the Minotaur and become a Minotaur killer?

'Tap~ Tap~'

At this moment, the Minotaur wielding a giant sword walked over, its body covered in various wounds and pitch black. At first glance, it appeared to be an enhanced version of the Minotaur.

'eyes~'

Upon approaching and seeing Kong Yang, the Minotaur roared angrily and charged at him with its greatsword.

Kong Yang was completely bewildered. "What did I do to offend you that you're coming at me like this?"

"A black Minotaur that can wield a sword? I've never seen one like that before."

"Who cares, let's kill it."

The two of them rushed over immediately, ready to take down the Minotaur.

'Bang~'

'Snap~'

However, the next second, these two level 3 guys were sent flying.

Everyone stared wide-eyed. Was that a Minotaur? It was only a level 2 monster, yet it had instantly killed two level 3 adventurers?

Kong Yang narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. In the original story, the Minotaur trained by Ota was only level 2.

But the Minotaur in front of us is at least level 3, and possibly even level 4.

Is this monster really a Minotaur? Or a enhanced version?

"I'll kill you!"

A voice rang in Kong Yang's ear.

This startled Kong Yang, who instinctively looked around and found that no one else seemed to have heard the sound.

However, Kong Yang was certain that he had indeed heard a sound just now, and it was very likely that it came from the black minotaur in front of him.

"interesting."

Driven by curiosity, Kong Yang went up to them.

Grace knew Kong Yang's strength, so he wasn't worried. It was just a Minotaur, even if it was an enhanced species, it wouldn't be a big deal.

'Boom~'

Upon seeing Kong Yang, the Minotaur immediately raised its greatsword and slashed down at him.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow condensed and transformed into a sharp blade, blocking the attack.

"It has a very strong power, almost level 4. It's really surprising. Even the enhanced version of the Minotaur should be level 3. How could a level 4 Minotaur appear?"

'Roar~'

'I'll kill you~'

It was that voice again. Kong Yang was certain that the voice was definitely coming from the minotaur in front of him.

Is this a voice that only I can understand, or has it actually spoken, and only I can hear it?

'Boom~'

The Shadow Blade transformed into a Shadow Claw, slapping the Minotaur to the ground.

The massive shadow transformed into claws that gripped the nearly three- or four-meter-tall Minotaur, even dangling its greatsword to the ground.

This scene deeply shocked everyone behind them, especially Angie and Raul.

They originally thought that Kong Yang received so much attention and privileges because of his spatial abilities.

It now seems that Kong Yang's strength is also incredibly powerful. Such a powerful enhanced Minotaur was controlled by Kong Yang so easily.

'I'll kill you~'

It was that voice again. Kong Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Long-buried memories gradually surfaced. In this dungeon, there were also some special beings: intelligent monsters.

These monsters are called heretics; they are rational 'monsters' born from the dungeons.

This type of monster has one characteristic: although it is a monster, it possesses intelligence no different from that of humans, making it a unique case that is one in ten thousand.

All the heretics are also tragic individuals.

Because they are hunted not only by human adventurers, but also by monsters, they are incredibly tragic individuals.

Chapter 143 Kong Yang: I was here first! (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

(P.S.: This is to make up for yesterday's extra chapter. Today's extra chapter will only be after that. I had a lot of work to do today.)

Kong Yang narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the Minotaur struggle within the Shadow Claws.

In the original work, there was indeed a powerful Black Bull Girl who was specially trained by Ota to help Bell complete her transformation.

Now, because Kong Yang has already broken up the plot, none of this has happened.

Kong Yang couldn't figure out where the black Minotaur in front of him came from; perhaps it was a monster born from the inertia of the plot.

'Roar~'

'I'll kill you~'

The Minotaur struggled and roared incessantly, but to Kong Yang, it sounded like these three words.

"No matter what you are, if you want to kill me, you must at least be my equal. Your strength is far too weak. So, reincarnate again and continue to grow stronger, strong enough to kill me."

A calm, arrogant, and indifferent voice slowly rang out, and in that instant, the Minotaur, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped.

At this moment, the man and the ox were staring at each other.

Kong Yang immediately smiled, which was enough for him to be certain that this Minotaur possessed intelligence and was a heretic.

While heretics possess intelligence, not all heretics can speak.

"Goodbye, Minotaur."

'Pfft~'

The Shadow Blade pierced through the air and severed the Minotaur's head.

Then the black Minotaur turned to ashes, leaving only a magic stone.

Looking at the underground city he was in, Kong Yang's gaze became slightly solemn.

There's a saying in Orario that the dungeons are alive, and all the monsters are children of the dungeons.
