Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Many gods appeared in various places in the underworld ravaged by monsters. They said to the panicked people in a nonchalant tone, "We are here to pursue entertainment," and this male god was one of them.

He devoted his energy to building towers and fortresses.

It was he who first brought "God's grace" to this land.

Thanks to his dedication and the assistance of other gods, people successfully stopped the monster's attack and completed the fortress city that served as the prototype of Orario.

People therefore worship this male god and call him the 'Creator God of Orarie'.

The organizations that once built towers and fortresses were revised and merged under the leadership of this male god. With him as the main god, a large faction established the management organization of the maze city - the guild!

Until modern times, many people still worship this god.

His name is - Uranus!

"I have further investigated him, but I am ashamed to say that I still cannot find any clear clues about his background and origins. Now I can only confirm that he came to Orario directly through the dungeon, and his subsequent behavior was not out of the ordinary. After finding the goddess Hestia, he worked hard to improve his own strength... He seemed to be worried and afraid of something?"

Looking at the crystal ball, where Hestia was feeding her child, Uranus nodded slightly, "A child that Hestia dotes on so much can't be a bad kid. Just remain vigilant. If you want to test her, try to have more contact with her."

"understand!"

As Fels spoke, he took out a colorful magic stone and placed it next to the crystal ball. "According to the news sent back by the Ganesha clan, it has been confirmed that there are indeed many monsters lurking in the sewers, and one of them is a monster that has never been seen before.

"He probably didn't lie. There is most likely a labyrinth under Orario. I'm afraid someone used it to send monsters and heretics out of the ground a long time ago."

"That's a good thing. At least the direction is clear."

"We can investigate further. We clearly don't have enough manpower. The Ganesha clan is too conspicuous, and it is not a wise choice to issue orders through the 'guild'."

Since the establishment of the "Guild", the Uranus family has actually become a thing of the past.

As the main god, Uranus handed over the city management to the guild staff and locked himself in this altar. In order to prevent necessary disputes, he did not even grant the new staff the "blessing of God", allowing the "guild" itself to insist on carrying out the identity of the city manager.

When necessary or at a specific time, the 'guild' can issue compulsory tasks and command other clans to cooperate in the action. This is the right that the guild obtains by giving up the use of force.

Today, no one in the 'guild' calls themselves the 'Family of Uranus' anymore.

Does the 'guild' have any fighting power?

As the only private soldier hidden by the main god Uranus, Fels is undoubtedly the person who knows most about this.

After all, he is probably the strongest fighter in the 'guild'.

The guild could recruit other families to cooperate in the name of "cleaning up sewer monsters". However, if they wanted to conduct further investigations on the A-rank Ikelos family, such a thing could never appear in the guild's official documents.

The current situation is that they simply do not have the manpower and combat power to do these things.

"No problem."

The old god raised his eyes, and his sight seemed to be looking somewhere through many obstacles. "I will inform Hermes and ask him to come back as soon as possible. First, investigate the whereabouts of the trafficked monsters and the heretic. Let the heretic try to collect clues in the dungeon and start searching from the edge... Things related to the 'artificial maze' are probably far from as simple as he said!"

"God Hermes, that is indeed a suitable candidate."

There are not many gods like him who dare to conceal the ranks of their own clan members on a large scale in the entire history of Orario.

Chapter 22: Tenth Floor

What is gearing up?

Needless to say, the usual antidote potions are needed, and the healing elixirs should be replaced with high-quality ones.

For the stamina recovery elixir, I don't need to have the highest quality. I usually get three bottles of 5000 faris and three bottles of 2 faris, and one bottle of 60 faris panacea.

There are also new arm guards and heart armor. After bargaining for a long time, I finally spent 93 Farleys to buy the short sword-style magic sword...

After being equipped, Su Mo felt that his whole body exuded the supreme aura of a powerful warrior.

I explored the ninth floor yesterday and raised my main attribute 'Durability' to 'E'. My strength, dexterity and agility all reached 'F'. In a nutshell, I have reached the standard to challenge the tenth floor.

The safety capability value standard announced by the 'Guild' is 'C'?

In order to prevent unexpected factors, the guild's safety standards often raise the required strength standard for conquering floors by one level. In other words, if there are no unexpected factors, adventurers with a 'D' level of ability are enough to conquer the tenth floor, and the 'E' level of ability is just the challenge area.

Not to mention the arm guards and heart guards that are not engraved with the 'Ηφαιστο?' logo.

The small bag on his waist contains potions and props worth millions, the scabbard behind his waist is a million-level magic sword, and on his back he is carrying a weapon with a cost price of 320 million faris. Su Mo feels that there is probably no more wealthy new adventurer in the whole of Orario than him.

If he is so hesitant even to challenge the tenth level, he might as well just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

"Excuse me, do you need support?"

Su Mo stopped and looked sideways at the dwarf people who came to his side.

The dwarf girl was wearing a loose cream-colored robe, with a little chestnut hair showing from under the low-pulled hood. On her back was a large backpack that was more than one or two sizes larger than her petite body. Who else could it be but Lilyluka?

The warriors with the money ability really couldn't hide their pride... Su Mo knew that he was being targeted as a 'fat sheep' and felt a little amused. He shook his head at the girl disguised as a dog-man and refused, "I want to go to the tenth floor. I may not be able to protect you with my ability value."

"Lily can protect herself and will not be a burden to you, the adventurer."

"It will kill people!"

"Lily is not afraid."

"But I'm afraid."

Following the solemn words, Su Mo did not stay and left quickly... His character was not so bad as to bring people into danger and not care about it.

The dwarf girl stayed where she was, a little dazed.

How come such a sure-fire trick suddenly doesn't work?

……——……

After entering the dungeon, Su Mo put the previous episode behind him.

He walked quickly down all the way until he reached the entrance to the tenth floor, then he stopped to rest for a while and stepped onto the tenth floor in the best condition.

The structure of the tenth floor of the dungeon directly follows the form of the eighth and ninth floors, except that the light source on the ceiling is no longer as bright as sunlight. A layer of white fog, not thick but enough to obstruct vision, covers the entire tenth floor.

Obstructed vision, natural arsenals, and large monsters are the main reasons why the safety limit of the tenth floor will directly reach the 'C' level from the 'E' of the ninth floor.

Pulling out the Goddess's Sword, Su Mo quickly regained his senses and slowly walked into the white mist.

The field of vision was limited, and it was difficult to see things more than ten meters away. From afar, the scattered dead trees without leaves and branches would give people the illusion that a monster was standing there.

Walking forward, approaching the two-meter-long dead tree, Su Mo's gaze couldn't help but linger on it for a moment.

Just looking at the bark, one can tell that it is stronger than imagined. The trunk is thick at the bottom and extremely thin at the top, showing an obviously abnormal structure... There is no doubt that this is a dungeon with living characteristics, a natural weapon specially provided for the monsters wandering in the maze.

The sword blade broke through the white mist and turned into a black light that cut the exaggeratedly thin part of the dead branch into two.

Although the hardness is not as good as the shell of the killer ant, it is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger, making it much more difficult to cut the dead branches than to cut the shell of the killer ant. Starting with weapons is not a good choice.

"Boom-"

Along with the clear sound of footsteps, the vibration of the ground immediately spread throughout Su Mo's body through his shoes.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, the outline of a large man was swaying at the other end of the white fog.

"Buguwuwuwu..."

Accompanied by a low roar, the large-class monster - the orc quickened its pace.

The pig-headed half-orc was at least three meters tall, with brown skin and a chubby body, giving the first impression of being strong. His tattered, peeling old skin covered his waist, like a ragged skirt covering his private parts and avoiding some indescribable mental pollution.

The yellow eyes were fixed on Su Mo's figure. The fat pig monster kept speeding up its pace, making loud bangs on the ground. It pulled up a dead tree while running.

Changes happened quickly, and the dead tree that was originally part of the nature of the maze turned into a rough stick at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The maze's landform is one of the many tricky features of the dungeon.

Because of this characteristic, many monsters that could be defeated with bare hands will be transformed into special enemies that cannot be underestimated after receiving support from this dungeon.

“Roaroooooooooooooooo…”

The murderous light in the ugly eyes was clearly visible. The moment the orc entered the five-meter range of him, Su Mo, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, suddenly jumped up, and the sword tip with a flashing cold light pointed directly at the monster's foot.

The size difference is obvious at a glance. The opponent's strength attribute value is at least above 'B'. It is undoubtedly a very stupid choice to resist the orc's attack head-on.

Humans have always fought by playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Being big is not always an advantage. Monsters like this that are huge and fat will inevitably be slower in their movements, and their excessive weight will make it easy for them to lose their balance.

one strike!

Just one strike!

As long as he can dodge the opponent's first attack, the balance of victory will tilt towards him.

The wooden stick that was raised high fell down with a loud bang, and the gust of wind under the heavy pressure hit Su Mo's face directly, giving people a strong pressure.

But for Su Mo, who had entered a rational state, this level of pressure could not affect his accurate judgment at all.

With his eyes locked on the falling trajectory of the stick, Su Mo's forward steps suddenly crossed in an uncoordinated manner, like a turn in a dance. While his body narrowly avoided the stick, all the strength of his body was poured into the sword as he turned.

"Click——"

The orc's skin did not provide any protection at all, and the sharp sword instantly slid into the flesh and touched the hard bones. However, from the sound, it was clear that the force of the blow was not strong enough, and it failed to cut the bones directly.

Not daring to take credit for himself, Su Mo quickly put away his sword and jumped out of the orcs' attack range.

However, the bones were so hard, and with all the weight of the orcs on them, even the Goddess's sword was obviously stuck.

It was just this kind of beating that almost got Su Mo hit by a stick.

The power and speed were a little bit lacking, that is, the Sword of the Goddess. If it was a more ordinary weapon, it might have been stuck just now.

If you are really stuck, the final result is either to give up the sword or to withstand an irresistible blow. There is no other choice.

The stick swung diagonally and landed on the ground, causing the ground to shake.

The power of heavy weapons was fully demonstrated at this moment, but at the same time, its heaviness was also revealed at this moment.

Twisting its body and forcibly changing the trajectory of the stick it was swinging backwards, the orc was much more agile than it looked, but it was obviously not smart enough... It should not have turned around just now.

"Click..."

The orc's action became the last straw that broke the camel's back. As the pillar for twisting the body's center of gravity, his right foot was hit so hard that even the bones were almost cut off. Finally, he could not bear the burden and broke in the process of forcibly turning around and swinging the wooden stick.

In an instant, the orc completely lost his balance and his body began to fall.

Of course Su Mo would not miss such an opportunity.

Long illness makes a good doctor. Liu has used this trick to bully him countless times, so Su Mo is already familiar with it.

She stepped on the stick with one foot, followed the orc's sturdy arms, and jumped to the orc's back, which his hands could not reach. Before the orc was about to stand up with one hand, the sharp tip of the goddess's sword penetrated from the back of his head and pierced through his head.

Chapter 23: Grouping

"boom……!"

The huge orc finally fell heavily to the ground.

In this regard, Su Mo had no intention of staying here to enjoy the joy of victory. He quickly drew his sword, took out the magic stone, and began to change positions. The fierce fighting sound would inevitably attract nearby monsters, and he did not want to face more than two orcs at the same time.

The battle just now ended indeed very quickly, but the difference in strength was already obvious.

Even if he used all his strength, he did not have the power to disable an orc's ability to move with just one blow. Once he was attacked by two orcs, the risk would increase sharply. With three... he could just run away.

With an orc's strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand a blow from a stick, a palm, or a punch easily.

As he was running, a group of little demons came towards him.

The two sides did not avoid each other and launched a head-on confrontation.

Wherever the sword pointed, one little demon died instantly, but the second little demon in the sword's range seized the moment of delay and nimbly avoided the sword's edge.

"Click——"

With a whip kick, the little devil who was trying to attack from behind was kicked away and his neck was broken.

Its speed is at least 'E', its agility is at least 'D', but its endurance and strength are at most 'G'. Considering the difficulty of the tenth floor, the strength of the little devil is quite average.

But Su Mo did not dare to underestimate it. The orcs who mainly rely on strength and strong attacks, combined with the little demons who mainly rely on agility and interference, the increase in the difficulty of the strategy is definitely not as simple as '1+1=2'.

There were only six little demons, and if everything went smoothly, they could be dealt with in a minute at most. However, in the dungeon, "smoothly" was undoubtedly the most luxurious thing.

The ground cracked. Su Mo, who had long been accustomed to the dungeon, did not need to think about what the sound was. He had already noticed where the ominous cracking sound came from.

A huge pig head emerged from the ground, followed by a greasy brown and thick arm... Su Mo quickly glanced around and saw a huge figure swaying in the white mist behind him, and a group of little demons were already chasing after him with their fangs and claws.

At this moment, Su Mo deeply felt the malice of the tenth level.
