Generally speaking, whatever Freya wants to do is her absolute top priority.

It's nothing like it is now...

"understood."

Although Ota had some doubts, he was by nature and wouldn't say anything out of turn.

This is also the biggest reason why Freya trusts him to handle things.

At present...

"Then I will depart immediately and take my leave."

"Well, let's go."

Freya responded.

Otta then slowly backed away, bowing as he left.

******

More than half an hour later...

For Ota, whose Grace level is Lv.7, the 'upper level' of the dungeon is practically his backyard.

Indeed, all sorts of strange and unusual things can happen inside the dungeon at any time, and many advanced adventurers have been badly tricked as a result.

But when an adventurer's strength far exceeds that of the current area... then it becomes akin to 'overpowering all forces'.

Not to mention, Ota is not a regular Lv.7 at the moment.

Of his five basic stats, all except 'Magic Power' which is D-rank are S-rank.

For such a powerful figure, finding people in the 'upper echelons' is naturally very easy.

In short, when Ota arrived at the 'seventh floor' area...

"Squeak~ Crackling~"

In a dead end where almost no other adventurers would approach, he saw Ling Shu... well, strictly speaking, the figures of 'Kong' and 'Ying'.

At this moment, the area is crawling with monsters called 'killer ants'.

These are giant, dark red ants, each the size of a calf.

Under normal circumstances, they will use their sharp mouthparts to injure people, and their carapace is hard, making it difficult for novice adventurers to break through their defenses.

[Adventurer's Tip: Monsters like killer ants, which appear in large numbers in the 'upper levels,' will continuously summon companions if you bring one to near death without killing it, and the numbers will keep growing.]

Without a doubt, whether it's 'voluntarily running into a dead end with few people' or deliberately using the killer ants' characteristics to gather monsters, most adventurers wouldn't dare to do something so reckless.

However, for the Traveler Twins, who possess the ability to 'return to town' and can engage in prolonged battles without consuming resources...

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Because 'Elemental Skills' and 'Elemental Burst' destroy the magic stones inside monsters, which is a huge loss, Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying have rarely used wind elemental power these past few days.

This is a perfect opportunity to hone the skills of 'Foreign Iron Wind: Dual Swords Combined' using these endless live targets.

Of course, if the number of monsters gathered around exceeds a certain limit, Ling Shu will immediately 'clear the area'.

It is precisely under this line of thinking that...

"Ok?"

Ling Shu naturally noticed Ota's approach.

Because the other party made no attempt to hide his towering, towering physique.

As they approached, the giant sword in his hand, which would otherwise require two hands to lift, was easily swung around a few times with one hand, wiping out most of the killer ants...

Hordes of monster corpses exploded into black mist.

The magic stones then fell down with a clatter.

Seeing this scene...

"Damn, a human-headed dog."

Ling Shu cursed inwardly.

However, knowing that the other party needed to talk to him, he decided to take a short break.

The next moment, he and Ying turned around at the same time and swung their swords.

Two one-handed swords, one silver-gray and one black-red, easily pierced through several monsters behind them that were responsible for gathering monsters and drawing their aggro.

Now, those dying killer ants, which had long been shaved into 'ant sticks', have finally been freed.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the weapons held by Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying were no longer the 'Edgeless Sword'.

Instead, they are the 'Traveler's Sword' and the 'Dawn Sword'.

These two three-star weapons are the second of the gacha pulls Ling Shu has made in the past week.

Compared to the one-star level 'Edgeless Sword', both of them not only have secondary attributes, but also possess 'special attributes'.

among them:

Ling Shu (Kong)'s 'Travel Sword' has a red and black color scheme as the main body, while the guard and the end of the hilt have dark gray decorations.

Its subtitle is 'Defense Percentage'.

Its special attribute is: when obtaining 'Elemental Orbs' and 'Elemental Particles', it restores 1% of its health.

Simply put: This is a 'healing sword'.

Ying's 'Dawn Sword' is a sharp blade that is entirely silver-gray.

Add 'critical hit damage' to the sub-item.

Special attribute: When health is above 90%, critical hit rate is increased by 14%.

These days, Ling Shu has roughly figured out the clever uses of the 'critical damage' and 'critical hit' values.

That's a genuine percentage increase in power.

Therefore, he is now even more eager to acquire the 'Holy Relic'.

It's worth mentioning that...

"The 'magic stones' dropped by monsters can be used as 'fodder' to feed weapons."

This is undoubtedly fantastic news.

It's important to know that although the magic stones dropped by 'upper-level' monsters are at most similar to 'fine-forging ore', they are much more plentiful.

Thanks to this, in just seven days, both the 'Traveler's Sword' and the 'Dawn Divine Sword' have been upgraded to level 20 by Ling Shu.

It's even more efficient than his ability to level up his Genshin Impact.

Unfortunately, the weapon's level upgrade cap is also linked to Ling Shu's own level of favor.

Currently, Lv.20 is the limit.

Fortunately, as weapon attributes improve, the character's leveling efficiency also increases.

After all, the killer ants that used to require several slashes to break through their defenses with a Lv.1 bladeless sword can now be pierced through with a single strike using a Lv.20 three-star weapon.

In addition, the killer ant possesses the ability to summon allies when near death, which also provides a crowd control effect...

Currently, Ling Shu (Kong), Ying, and Xiao, who started sharing experience in the background from the beginning, have all reached Genshin Impact level 13.

besides……

This week, with seven card draws, besides the 'Traveler's Sword' and 'Dawn Divine Sword', Ling Shu also obtained two 'White-Tasseled Spears', a 'Tales of Dragon Slayers', a 'Slingshot', and...

Four-star Electro Genshin Impact – Fischl.

The latter's current Genshin Impact level is Lv.9.

Originally, Ling Shu should have returned to the surface long ago.

But those who know what the "liver king" is thinking... those who know, know.

The previous metric had barely been achieved when the new one arrived.

Ling Shu thought he would raise Fischl's Genshin Impact level to Lv.10 or higher before heading back home.

So, I've been busy until now...

"Long time no see, Mr. Otto."

"Is there a problem?"

Once the surrounding killer ants were cleared out, Paimon, who was acting as a 'supporter,' began 'sweeping' the floor. Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying walked together to the tall pig-man.

The sharp blades in their hands also turned into golden light and dissipated.

It's quite convenient.

Ota... he was one of the very few people who knew some of the inside story about Ling Shu.

Well, so far, apart from Freya, the main god, the only person in the entire Familia... and even the entire Orario and the whole world, is Otto, who was 'truly present' at the time, who knows Ling Shu's true identity and his relationship with 'Ku and Ying'.

However, he was unaware of the details of Ling Shu's 'three major BUG magic'.

This is a secret known only to Freya, and he... will never ask any further questions.

At present...

"Lady Freya asked me to inform you that after leaving the dungeon, you should go directly back to the clan's residence to see her. She wants to see you."

After Ota finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Paimon, who was floating beside him picking up magic stones...

"That's it, don't keep Lady Freya waiting any longer."

Although he was somewhat curious about Paimon's existence, he didn't ask any further questions at this moment.

Having delivered the message and successfully completed the mission, he immediately turned and left alone.

It can be said that it was precisely this rigid and loyal warrior character that earned Freya's trust and favor.

As for Ling Shu...

As the other person's towering figure disappeared into the distance, he and Ying exchanged a glance. "Let's raise Fischl's Genshin Impact level to Lv.10 and then end this 'run'."

"Mm." Ying nodded.
