You are all my wings...

"Karl, hold Mark steady."

He exerted his strength directly, lifting the three of them off the ground.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

A sharp wind swept over us.

"Do it! Do ...

Milo's voice was easily drowned out by the thunderous sound of the waterfall.

The two groups of people fell straight down, one after the other, at an increasingly faster speed.

Several strands of Iris's hair were sticking up, and many of them drifted into Leon's nostrils, forcing him to tilt his head back and forth.

She had tried her best to tie all her hair up, but as the battle progressed, several strands still came loose from the headband.

"Leon, what's your plan? Will you use my flight magic?"

To avoid being drowned out by the sound of the waterfall and the airflow, she asked loudly.

"There's no need to waste mana with intermediate-level magic. Just wait for me to do it."

Lyon responded loudly.

As for Britta, who was being held in his arms, she didn't say a word despite the pressure of the constant falling. She silently chewed on the monster meat that Leon had given her to recover her magic power.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides passed through the thick stone layers of the previous 25 to 31 floors, and in a fleeting glance, they saw the different scenery of these different underground levels.

There is a 30th floor known as the absolute darkest zone, a 31st floor filled with ancient jungles, and a 32nd floor filled with warm light.

Each floor offers a different view.

Basically, starting from the Water City, the gaps between the underground cities will become larger and larger, like a pyramid filled underground, becoming more and more expansive as you go down.

In the blink of an eye, the moisture around everyone's ears became even thicker, stinging like knives against their ears.

Just as the three of them had barely crossed the 34th floor, he cast a spell.

Suddenly, a violent airflow rose up from below them, spiraling upwards and engulfing Leon and his two companions, as well as Calbowalli and his group of four, who were several meters above them.

It was Lyon's pseudo-intermediate magic, Tornado!

Magic -8.

call out!!!!!

The seven people were swept up by the tornado, but they managed to dissipate the force of the fall in one breath and hovered in mid-air in a spiral.

The tornado then swung to the side, throwing the seven people horizontally to the 34th floor.

With his agility of 47 and his control over the direction, Leon easily grasped the rotational potential energy, grabbed the two of them, and rolled them in mid-air. Then, he stepped on the inner wall of the 34th floor to dissipate the final impact and landed easily.

As for the four of them, Karl was in a worse situation. Unlike Leon, they didn't have time to anticipate the direction before being thrown off, and only realized what was happening when they were about to land, each trying to find an angle to cushion the impact.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Of the four, Bovary landed relatively easily.

He paid the most attention to Lyon and was the first to notice his preparatory movements.

Although he was caught off guard when he was thrown out, he was prepared in advance. When he landed, he used his hand guards to protect his head and then rolled seven or eight times, successfully dissipating the impact.

Next was Carl, who was carrying Mark, who was wearing full armor and weighed 200 pounds. Although his potential energy was great, his center of gravity was very stable. When he landed, his feet dragged on the ground for seven meters before he rolled several times to the side before successfully neutralizing the attack.

Although it looks more stable this way, the load on the knees is still considerable.

Milo fared the worst. Although he managed to react at the last moment, his entire back slammed into the stone wall, causing him to lose at least two or three points of health.

"Oh, what bad luck, what bad luck."

Milo sighed and got up.

Leon glanced at the four of them, and seeing that they were alright, he casually put Iris and Britta down.

[Character Iris's affection level +1%, current affection level 87%]

[Rita's affection level increased by 4%, current affection level is 51%]

Unexpectedly, this extreme leap increased the favorability ratings of both female leads.

However, Lyon originally thought that this wave of price increases for Iris would be more significant.

Unexpectedly, Berylita's stock price increased by 4 points in one go.

Wasn't she quite composed when looking at her watch before?

Was it because it was exciting, or did it change Britta's first impression of Leon to some extent?

It's baffling, truly baffling.

At this moment, Brierita took two or three steps back and said in a calm voice:

"I never imagined you were such a crazy person at heart."

These words stirred something within Lyon. He stared at Britta's face and suddenly smiled:

"I understand. It seems that the Holy Maiden has not yet learned the magic of flight."

Flight magic is generally only available to those who have reached the fourth rank or higher.

Theoretically speaking, however, fourth-order cultivators don't usually have this magic.

Because intermediate flight magic is not particularly practical, it can only be used for short-distance flight and levitation, and cannot be used for long-distance crossing (it consumes a lot of magic power).

Upon hearing this, Britta narrowed her eyes: "Lord Leon! Shouldn't the focus now be on the follow-up actions? What are your plans next?"

Her tone was not very friendly, and she seemed dissatisfied that Leon had seen through her weakness.

But Lyon's profile panel revealed another message.

[Rita's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level is 53%]

This is truly a novel discovery.

Is this woman the type who enjoys being contradicted by her subordinates?

Or has Leon already succeeded in changing the first impression he wanted?

No, I feel like winning over Berylita will take a lot of time. After all, she is a saint and is not allowed to have any romantic feelings. There will be divine protection and punishment for this. I guess she will subconsciously suppress such thoughts.

He instinctively pondered for a moment before shifting his focus to the follow-up plan.

The immediate priority is finding a safe place to temporarily recover and avoid being found by Andrea.

Then, it is best to find a suitable counter-attack strategy.

Even if they jump down now and choose to stay on the 34th floor, which seems safe for the time being, there is no guarantee that the other side may have other means of tracking them.

"Let's find a safe place to recover our magic and stamina first."

Lyon called out to everyone and turned around the corner ahead.

If Andrio had mastered the magic of flight, they would certainly be easily discovered by him if they stayed here.

Even if you need to find a place to rest, you shouldn't do it here, near the Great Waterfall of the Water Relic City.

Leon now has only a little magic left, but fortunately his physical strength is almost undamaged, so he can still fight with his sword.

Chapter Seventy-Three: Repair and Improvement

Starting from the 30th floor, it becomes a place where fourth-order monsters appear more frequently.

Of course, since the main road of the first 40 floors is often cleared by troops sent by the Kingdom of Horsha, and there are often groups of adventurers with good strength, the types of monsters on the main road are relatively not that dense, while powerful monsters usually hide in the side road areas.

So as long as everyone is careful, they are still safe.

If they were to encounter a powerful fourth-tier monster in their current state, they would really have to run away with their tails between their legs.

About 30 minutes later, Leon, relying on his memories from his past life, found a relatively clean little cave.

The journey wasn't without its challenges. Not long after they set off, they encountered a goblin horde led by a fourth-tier goblin king.

Fortunately, Karl and Bovary joined forces to kill a third-order goblin that charged at them to provoke them, which scared them off, and both sides retreated and avoided each other.

This also means that the vitality and stamina potions that Bovary had used in advance had taken effect.

The goblins are short and agile, and their group movements are particularly cunning. Under the command of the goblin king, they are quite effective against spellcasters.

Without Karl and Bovary's preemptive strike, they would have wasted more stamina and mana fighting this horde of goblins, which undoubtedly increased the unpredictability of the battle.

The most urgent task is to get everyone back to full health.

Fortunately, after the goblin horde, the group did not encounter any more troublesome monsters, which were dealt with one by one by the knights.

The cave Lyon found this time has two entrances, each two meters high, neither too wide nor too narrow, so two people can guard it while resting, making it relatively safe.

The cave is square and straight, six meters long and four meters wide. It must have been a stone room before. There is also an old treasure chest that has been opened for a long time in the corner.

When the Aurado Dungeon was first developed, it contained not only many monsters, but also various treasures left behind by ancient humans.

However, after several hundred years of development, most of the ancient treasures that could be found in the first 40 floors are gone.

Lyon knew that some of the most effective ancient magical items only began to be found on floors 50 or 60, surviving the adventurers' attempts to take them.

As everyone entered the cave one after another, they breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the situation inside.

Finally, I can find a safe place to rest!

Lyon gathered some dry grass and firewood, preparing to roast the water-swallowing ape's large tail.

Almost an hour has passed since I cut off this tail, and I don't know how much magic has been lost.

But no matter what, the meat of a powerful fourth-tier monster, no matter how bad, is still better than those dried meats that have been sitting around for a long time.

Moreover, there's a good amount of meat on this one, making it quite something to look forward to.

As Leon chewed on the last bit of white unicorn meat, he used a butcher's knife to remove the fur.

As for the skewers for grilling meat, you can use Mark's sword, the canine teeth and nails of the water-swallowing ape as substitutes.

Of course, purification is necessary. Leon has already eaten a lot of jerky and has recovered 2 points of mana through the Rapid Mana Recovery skill. He can use micro-magic to purify and remove the blood.

As for the demonic blood on the tail, in order to conserve magic power, Leon chose to drip the blood out by turning the vessel upside down and collect it in an alchemy jar.

Of course, this physical method can only collect a limited amount of blood because a considerable amount of time has passed and a significant amount of blood has clotted.

Therefore, there's a high chance we'll be eating meat with a fishy smell this time.

To mask the fishy smell, Lyon took out his homemade spices and sprinkled some on the fire while warming himself.

The spices were produced in his rural hometown in the south, in the territory of Baron Bellon.

These were all foods he found early on to improve his meals. They weren't particularly outstanding in taste, but at least they could mask the smell of blood.

In just over twenty minutes, part of the meat was cooked.

The unique scent of this powerful fourth-tier monster drew everyone's attention.

Karl was drooling and his stomach was rumbling.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we have them all."

The allure of powerful monsters is indeed far greater than that of the bizarre monsters from before.

Lyon cut the pre-baked portion into seven pieces with a cleaver and placed them on a clean, silky white cloth.

"One serving per person, eat first, there will be more later."

Everyone contributed to the previous battles, and Lyon naturally wouldn't hold back either.

Iris leaned silently against Leon, tugged at his sleeve, and then turned away to eat her meat after Leon looked over.

Leon didn't say anything. Could it be that this girl has temporarily put the danger aside and is starting to dwell on her previous intimate interactions with Britta?

Sigh, being a popular man must be exhausting.

He sighed inwardly and took a bite of the freshly roasted tail meat.

Pfft!

The rich and magical juices seeped onto the tongue, the charred ape skin and the crispy muscle texture created an unexpectedly rich flavor profile.

Even the bloody smell that Lyon was initially worried about seemed to be successfully masked by the spices, replaced by a refreshing grassy scent.
