Keng——

Just like hitting a metal shield, the spear thrown by Mitis flew out weakly to the side after hitting the skin of the needle-piercing demon pig, leaving only a small pit on the latter's body that was oozing blood.

Mitis jumped back to the ground and frowned.

"As expected, physical means are more effective than magical attacks."

"Mimitis, can you attack with all your strength?"

Angelica, who was also panting, came to Mitis and asked expectantly. Due to the "Berserk" skill, her originally clear blue eyes turned a deep red that seemed to be dripping with blood.

"No, wait a little longer, wait until this guy relaxes and then destroy it in one go—Tifarian, retreat quickly!"

In the field of vision, Tifarian had used the wall to jump onto the back of the Thorn Pig. Although the Thorn Pig no longer had any hard hairs that could be ejected, if the Thorn Pig rolled over at this time, Tifarian would be in a very dangerous situation.

"'Consecutive Slash'!"

Mobilizing all the magic power in her body to the hand holding the rapier, Tifarian swung several swords at a speed so fast that it was almost invisible. The flesh that even Gungnir could not penetrate was visible to the naked eye, and blood instantly gushed out. At the same time, the Needle Demon Pig also erupted in the loudest roar since the battle began. Like a rapidly inflated balloon, the Needle Demon Pig's body instantly grew a circle larger.

Although the people present didn't know what was going to happen, everyone was certain that something bad was going to happen next.

"Senior Tifarian is really messing around!"

A blurry figure flashed by, and Tifarian, who was already unstable, suddenly lost her balance. It was as if someone was carrying her on the shoulders. Her vision began to spin, and subconsciously, Tifarian wanted to resist.

"wait--"

"Anyway, let's get out of here. That guy must be trying to use magic."

The series of calm voices made Tifarian give up the idea of ​​resistance. If she guessed correctly, the one who took her away should be the dragon princess Ji Luyue Shengan.

"Um."

Under the glare of the red eyes of the Needle Demon Pig, Fuka, who had been given a "strength boost", jumped to where Ella was with Tifarian.

"Senior, what should we do next?"

"I think we should use 'Shattering Roar'. We'll be fine as long as we interrupt it the moment it opens its mouth."

To be on the safe side, Ella added a "magic shield" around it. The hair of the Needle Demon Pig alone has the effect of breaking through magical defenses, so the "magic shield" can be effective at this time.

"Interruption? If that's the case, leave it to me."

As she spoke, Lotte switched Hela to a magical state and then moved to a position far away from Ella, where she would not be easily noticed by the Needle Demon Pig.

"Little Ella, it's coming!"

"receive!"

Responding quickly to Angeline's shout, Ella turned her attention to the spiked boar, which was now staring at her with its red eyes, as if it understood that she was the mastermind.

"This doesn't feel right."

"Senior, that guy is coming."

Accompanied by the shaking of the earth and the sound of heavy footsteps, the huge body of the Needle Demon Pig rushed towards Ella like a high-speed truck. Ella had a premonition that if she was hit by this attack, her whole body would be shattered in an instant.

Almost subconsciously, Ella added several layers of "Magic Shield" again, and at the same time, Eve also took action.

"'Collapse'."

Kaka.

The hole created by magic caused the Needle Pig to lose its balance, and its huge body instantly tilted forward due to inertia. If it could fall face down on the ground, the magic that was brewing would be interrupted. However, what was surprising was that just as its face was about to hit the ground, the Needle Pig curled up its body like a hedgehog, rolled on the ground for a few weeks, and stood in front of the "magic shield" created by Ella, opening its long, foul-smelling mouth.

"not good!"

This is the precursor to using "Shattering Roar".

"Lightning Direct Strike!"

呲——

The blinding electric light that made it impossible not to look away instantly lit up the entire cave. The curved arc of electricity connected from the corner of the hall to the open mouth of the needle-like demon pig. Then, a huge sound like thunder ringing in the ears, as if to take away the hearing, accompanied by the screams of the monster, reached everyone's ears.

"hiss--"

"Ms. Mitis, the final blow!"

"Leave it to me. I'll kill with one strike."

Lotte's voice brought Mitis back to reality, and she gripped her white parasol tightly, gathering bright red light in her hand.

"Vampire Kiss."

The red color that originally covered the entire umbrella body instantly concentrated at the umbrella tip, as if to throw the red color away. Mitis, who was flying on the neck of the needle-thorn demon pig, swung the parasol from top to bottom, and a thin blade about five meters long flew out swiftly, as if there was no obstacle, and easily penetrated the neck of the needle-thorn demon pig and finally hit the ground.

bang——

As if hit by a giant axe, the long blade cut a deep groove on the ground, and huge dust filled the air along with the shaking of the entire cave.

Looking at the needle-pricked demon pig lying limply on the ground, Ella subconsciously retracted her neck and murmured softly.

"This destructive power... is too terrifying..."

Instead of feeling proud of Ella's praise, Mitis turned her gaze to Lotte who was coming from a distance and sighed helplessly.

"Compared to me, Lotte is the better one. That attack just now must have reached the level of fourth-tier magic. That strange magic item is too powerful, no matter how you look at it. Scarlet gold level? Artifact level? Lotte is only level 25 now, right? Fourth-tier magic is a realm only accessible to level 40 magic casters. Some magic casters who have just reached level 40 can't even learn to use fourth-tier magic. As expected, it's better for me to practice with weapons like Lotte's."

"Ms. Mitis really loves to joke around."

Lotte came to Ella's side and gave an embarrassed smile.

"I'm telling the truth. Look, this guy was actually killed by Lotte's attack—well, his entire head was roasted."

Just as Mitis saw, the blood of the needle-pierced demon pig was dissipating in the air in the form of mist, and the smell of roasted meat could be smelled.

Angelica, her nose twitching constantly, ran to the side of the truck-sized needle-like demon pig.

"Hey, Ella-chan, can we take this guy with us?"

"Take it away? The magic core and the hair I shaved off earlier are fine, but the rest of it isn't worth much, you know?"

Although bones can be made into simple weapons and armor, their quality is only slightly more durable than weapons made from goblin bones.

“But it smells good.”

As Angelini said this, she squatted down and used the stone beside her to move the exposed piece of meat - it had turned a ripe color, so it didn't look particularly disgusting.

Just because you don't feel sick doesn't mean you can eat it. I don't have much aversion to wild boars or poultry I hunt, but when it comes to this kind of ugly monster meat, it's really hard to accept. I always feel it's unpalatable and will upset my stomach.

"Are you planning to take it back and eat it?"

"Of course! This is level 40 monster meat, you know? If I take it back and put it on the market, there will definitely be many nobles willing to buy it. And with the tender texture of the meat, the price will be even higher—but I still want to eat it myself."

Angelique raised her head while saying this and gave Ella a pitiful look of request. Combined with her pointed ears and cute face, it was impossible to refuse her.

"Gu... Why don't you just take it back yourself, Angelique? Just take the best piece. I'll have Mao bury the rest."

"But, I want to take it all back."

Although Angeline had storage items, the space inside was only enough to fit the giant scythe, so many items were given to Ella for safekeeping.

"Ella is surprisingly good at bullying. Is it because Angelina is so cute?"

Mitis on the side waved her hand in surprise.

"Besides, I also want to taste what this monster meat tastes like."

"Won't Mitis feel like she can't eat anymore?"

"Hmm? Ella, do you have some misunderstanding? Don't look at me like that. I'm a soldier after all. The food I eat is just a little better than that of ordinary soldiers. Besides, if it's prepared well, monster meat is actually more delicious than ordinary animal meat."

Not only Mitis, but even Tifarian, a former adventurer, joined in the conversation, wiping the blood off the golden rapier and nodding as she spoke.

"I agree. Level 40 monster meat is quite difficult to obtain. Besides, except for certain monsters, the higher the level, the better the quality. I remember once having orichalcum-level rabbit meat when I was an adventurer. The fat that filled my mouth and the bursting aroma were absolutely the best I've ever tasted."

“Eh… is there such a thing?”

Ella blinked in surprise. Of course, there was no such thing as meat in "F.Wing". Although monsters would leave behind corpses after being defeated, no player would pay attention to them. They would usually take the magic cores and dropped items and then turn around to look for the next target. Except for special monster meat - which could be made into medicine after being refined by alchemists - the corpses were only used by players to enhance the realism of the game.

Mitis patted her well-developed chest confidently.

"Of course, even though I can't cook, I'm a master at tasting."

The second half of the sentence should be a lie.

Ella made this inference in her heart.

"In that case, then take it back. But do you want the chef to cook the monster meat?"

Ella turned her gaze towards Lotte and Fukagan. They were probably the only two people in the group who were good at cooking.

"I've never tried this kind of high-end cuisine before, so I'm a little unsure..."

"Me too, there's no problem with making it, but can you eat it, Senior..."

"Then why don't you leave half for the chef in the royal city and try to cook the rest yourself? Speaking of which, is Eve only able to taste strongly flavored dishes?"

As a ghost, Eve's sense of taste is very dull, and only dishes that ordinary people cannot swallow can stimulate her taste buds.

She tilted her head, and Eve's gray-white medium-length hair swayed.

"no problem?"

"You mean you can savor the flavor of ordinary food, right?"

"Well, restore humanity, get ready."

"Is this part of the preparation to return to human form? But why does Eve want to turn back into a human?"

I remember that when we left the Holy City, Eve said that she wanted to accept the resurrection magic and become a human being. The reason was that she wanted to feel body temperature and some other things. But when I asked what those other things were, Eve rarely told me that they were a secret.

"Secret, for now."

"Keep it a secret for now?... I thought you weren't the type to tell me. In that case, I'll be looking forward to it."

"Little Ella, little Ella, hurry back to the surface. It's almost noon."

"Well, remember to collect the fallen hair as well. Maybe you can make it into arrows that are ineffective against magical defenses."

"Yes, yes~"

The request was answered, and Angeline ran back to the distant battlefield like a puppy that had received a reward and began to collect the hair dropped by the needle-like demon pig.

With a helpless sigh, Ella followed Angelini's steps.

"Then let's get ready and return to the surface—hmm? It doesn't look like it's going to go that smoothly."

On the "Topography Search" screen, a dense mass of unfamiliar light spots gathered outside the hall.

Chapter 34 Adventurers in the Square

After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, everyone came out of the secret hunting ground created by Mao and entered the 21st floor of the maze.

The labyrinth of the Eastern Demons is very different from the underground tower of Semorabi. If the underground tower is likened to a spiral tower structure with layers stacked on top of each other, then the natural labyrinth of the Eastern Demons is an ant nest interwoven into a web. Although they are both named after layers, they are essentially very different.

The Eastern Demon Labyrinth is more like several large spaces connected by countless small passages. These large spaces are intertwined with each other, forming a maze that makes people lose their way. The so-called number of layers is just a rough division by depth. The actual standard name - taking Ella's location as an example - should be "21st Floor - Third Block". The third block of the 21st floor not only connects to other blocks on the same floor, but also bypasses the 23rd and 24th floors and directly enters the 25th floor - the seventh block. The entire maze is a completely chaotic three-dimensional structure.

After pushing aside the vines that were clinging to the cave entrance as camouflage, Ella came out first. Seeing this scene, the two guards who had been waiting outside immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

"Don't be so reserved. If you keep doing this, I'll be very troubled."

Ella waved her hand and took a step to the side. After everyone came out of the cave, Ella began to introduce the guards to them.

"They are my guards, Linglan and Grace. Just treat them as usual."

"Ladies, please don't worry about our presence. We will only appear when it is time."

Following Ella, Linglan bowed to Lotte and the others one by one.

"Even though I only told him once and he understood it to this degree, it's really relaxing to have a subordinate like him. Although I'm embarrassed in some ways."

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She should do something to compensate them later.

"Um, Ella-chan, did I hear the sound of fighting?"

"Yeah, I heard that too."

The cat ears on the dark brown twintails could be seen moving slightly.

"I think the adventurers in the plaza are probably subduing monsters. The plaza on the 21st floor isn't too far from here. Want to check it out?"

Of course, having said that, in reality, even if you don't want to look, you have to go there. The road closest to the ground must pass through the square.
