You call this magic?

The seniors slowly drew their weapons.

"How weak their vigilance is! They are just level 1s who haven't even earned the title of advanced adventurer." At this time, the dwarfs burst into crazy laughter. At the same time, the iron gate at the entrance they had just walked out of closed instantly.

The thief's eyes widened, they were tricked!

The main reason is that the Soma clan never offends anyone, and they never thought that they would be targeted just for going out to play. After all, is it necessary for a few level 1s to plot like this?

Everyone showed expressions of shock and anger: "Who are you!"

"We are from the Soma clan!"

"Alas, you weaklings, whenever you're threatened, you always mention your clan... Even if your clan truly has a strong one, so what? As long as you do it cleanly, no one will notice, right?"

The Dwarfs laughed.

"As for who we are, it's none of your business. I won't tell you. What can you do to me?"

"Run!" The thief brother gave an order and everyone fled in all directions. Even if they could not return the same way, there was no only one road on Daedalus Street. There were only four people on the opposite side. They could not catch up with all of them at the same time. Someone had to go back to report the news.

The thief carried Bell on his back and dived into the underground sewer.

The handsome man's expression remained unchanged as he casually chased into the sewer.

Obviously, his target is Bale.

It seems that this group of people had already made up their minds and were chasing them separately in Daedalus Street. They just needed to make sure that the Soma family couldn't escape. In other words, there were definitely more than just these few people coming, and there must be other pursuers.

Bell, who had already recovered half of his strength on the thief's back, naturally understood this. He immediately whispered, "Senior, leave me behind! That guy's target is me!"

"Nonsense." The thief brother ignored Bell. "What kind of target can you be, little Karami? Can you run on your own?"

"Yes, sure." Bell replied and hurriedly followed.

"From now on, it's time for the rogue class to shine." The rogue chuckled, "That guy looks like a warrior. Chasing a rogue in this complex terrain won't be easy!"

"Next, I'm going to teach you something from actual combat, so you can learn from it."

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (I): Chapter 44: The Turmoil on the Ground

All of Orario was in turmoil at the same time, but no one paid much attention to Bell and the thief who were fleeing in the intricate underground sewers, Ais who was slaying monsters in the alleys, or Ethan who was fighting the lone maze king alone in the depths of the dungeon.

As the family responsible for managing the public security in Orario, the Ganesha family knew very well what matters could not be made known to the public, so almost as soon as the monsters escaped, they had already blocked all the roads that could be blocked. When they learned that Ai Si would help deal with the monsters, they immediately drove the monsters onto Ai Si's route, so that other manpower could be used to maintain stability in the city.

The Monster Festival is a festival that Orario attaches great importance to. Ensuring the safety of the people is the absolute top priority. Otherwise, it is uncertain whether the Monster Festival can be held next year.

Next to the amphitheater, in the auditorium.

"What's wrong, Mary? Are you feeling unwell?" Hestia, who was cheering for the adventurer's successful conquest of the monster just a few seconds ago, immediately noticed the abnormal condition of her best friend beside her.

"Mary?" Hearing this, Lily, who was sitting on the other side of Hestia, also poked her head out. "You look unwell, don't you?"

"No, it's okay..." Mary covered her chest, breathing heavily, her face slightly pale. After noticing the worried expressions of the two girls, she was startled and suddenly stood up, "I, I'm going to water the flowers!"

"So you had a stomachache?" Hestia breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hands high. "Come back soon! It's going to be even more exciting next time!"

"Lady Hestia, is there anything stale in the food you just bought?" Lily asked suspiciously.

"Hmmmm... Those damn profiteers actually dared to deceive a goddess like me..." Hestia took it seriously for a moment. "Let's see if I make them pay for it next time!"

"But how much did you buy?"

"No, I don't remember..."

On the other side, Mary ran out of the amphitheater as fast as she could, feeling more and more panicked.

There's no doubt about it, a monster is coming.

She herself couldn't tell what kind of monster it was. After all, ordinary dungeon monsters didn't give her that feeling. The malice that was about to solidify into substance impacted her heart, making it impossible for her to breathe.

"Hey, Miss Mary?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

Mary turned around and saw Lefiya running out in a hurry, followed by two Amazons.

If you say you are familiar with them, then you are not that familiar. You can only say that you have met them before, but you cannot say that you are completely strangers. Lefiya and Mary are examples of people who have met before and know that they exist, but have never formally greeted each other.

I follow Ai Si to the Soma clan every day, and I have met almost everyone I should know and shouldn’t know.

"You, you are the elf lady who came with Lady Sword Princess." Mary's complexion recovered a little. "Oh no! Something is about to attack Orario!"

Diona immediately appeared behind Mary, covered her mouth, and whispered, "Be quiet. Don't let the people around hear you, or you'll get into big trouble."

As they spoke, they quietly observed the people around them and breathed a sigh of relief when they found that almost no one cared.

Mary was completely frightened. She had seen Amazons before, but this was the first time she had encountered such a powerful one. Moreover, being suddenly approached so close by a stranger made her scalp tingle.

"So, where is the monster you mentioned?" Dione didn't really trust this little mermaid who looked socially anxious, but they ran out because they observed the abnormal behavior of the Ganesha family, so she couldn't help but believe it.

"The monster is very powerful, it's better to wait for Miss Sword Princess..." Mary said in a low voice, but halfway through, two Amazons came up directly.

"Hey, little girl, I'm also level 5, don't treat me like some street urchin."

"Tione is right, little Mary, why don't you just take us to get rid of that monster? Don't look at me like this, I'm also level 5!"

Two level 5 Amazon warriors, a level 3 wizard, and a level 2 specialized priest, doesn't seem to be a problem.

After all, Ethan said that Ais is still stuck at level 5, so two level 5s are indeed trustworthy.

"Then please follow me." Mary held the wand and led the way.

It was a mysterious feeling that she couldn't articulate her true identity and could only explain with intuition.

Soon, the four of them arrived at a small market. It was usually crowded with people, but today it was temporarily closed due to the Monster Festival, so there was a lot of empty space.

Mary looked around the market with her wand in her arms, and the three followed her curiously until she suddenly stopped.

"coming!"

Following Mary's shout without any warning, the ground shook three times instantly, and the ground suddenly bulged up. A green tentacle pierced through the ground and rushed out, instantly rushing towards Mary who was standing there in a daze.

The first to react were Diona and Tione. This level 5 twin pair each hugged one and dodged the giant tentacle's thrusts.

"Lefiya, use magic!"

After landing, Lefiya immediately began to prepare to chant, while Diona and Tione also rushed towards the tentacle-like creature that was still extending.

However, they never expected that the hardness of this thing was beyond their imagination. Punching it with a punch was like hitting a piece of iron... no, it was even harder than that thing.

"What a joke! How are we going to fight without weapons?"

"Give Lefiya a chance to cast magic!"

Generally speaking, characters with high physical resistance have a high probability of having low magic resistance. In any case, you should try it first.

The two continued to attack the tentacles, trying to attract its attention to themselves.

Lefiya glanced at Mary, who was looking unhappy not far behind her, and raised her wand with a serious expression. A magic circle instantly formed on the ground.

At the moment when Lefiya activated her magic power, the tentacles instantly captured her position, and the ground beside her instantly cracked. Another smaller tentacle broke out of the ground and attacked Lefiya at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, a golden light flashed.

The tentacle that suddenly appeared was bounced back as if it had hit a wall, and part of it even turned into ashes.

Looking at the tentacle, Lefiya was stunned and subconsciously looked behind her.

There, Mary was kneeling on one knee, holding a staff in one hand, with golden light shining around her.

Two-finger prayer [rejection].

"Please continue, Miss Lefiya. I will try to suppress them."

Volume 2: Dungeon Encounters (Part 1): Chapter 45: The Mermaid's Ballad

Suppress? How would she suppress it?

After this sentence flashed through Lefiya's mind, she immediately realized that now was not the time to worry about this.

"Liberated arrows of light, bows of holy wood, you are a master of the bow, snipe! Fairy archer."

As if to stop Lefiya's magic, the ground around her began to tremble again. This time, even the Amazon sisters noticed something was amiss. They were clearly drawing the fire, so why were there more and more monsters on the rearguard side?!

Their first reaction was to return for help, but the tentacles had already filled the underground space of the market. Soon, two or three more tentacles rose from the ground. The tops of the tentacles opened organs similar to petals, and in the center there was even a mouthpart structure very similar to human teeth. It opened its bloody mouth and attacked the two unarmed Amazons.

Damn, it turns out it’s not just a tentacle, it’s a Piranha plant tentacle!

Without weapons, their attack power is really limited, and now they are blocked on the periphery by a bunch of carnivorous plants, making it impossible for them to go in to rescue.

"!!"

Lefiya was also stunned by the scene. The fear in her heart immediately took over. Her trembling lips made her stop the chant she was about to recite.

“Lefiya!!”

The Amazon sisters' eyes were bloodshot and they roared, trying to break through the blockade of the tentacles.

The magic circle under Lefiya's feet flickered and was about to disappear.

The singing began.

It was not any kind of language, just pure humming like a baby's babbling.

This is a melody that no one in Orario has ever heard.

Almost everyone who hears her singing is more or less attracted by her beautiful voice.

That is a song written by the little mermaid from the depths of the dungeon, who longs for the human world.

[The Ballad of the Mermaid].

After becoming Ethan's Familiar, one of her racial talents appeared on her back as an ability.

This was also the first time she publicly used this ability after upgrading to level 2.

Ethan didn't give her many offensive prayers, just to prevent her from charging into battle herself. She wasn't cut out for that.

But she only needs to stand at the back of the team and become the most solid shield for her companions.

The movements of the carnivorous plants suddenly became slow, and the closer they were to Mary, the lazier their movements became.

It doesn't look like it's being suppressed by any external force, but rather it's in a state of being "enchanted".

She continued to hum as she walked forward. Following her steps, the carnivorous plants would even give way to her, but their resistance still existed.

Mary's face showed a painful expression. To charm so many carnivorous plants at once was far beyond her ability.

At the same time, seeing that the blocked road was opened, Diona and Dione immediately gave up the entanglement with the tentacles, rushed to the two of them, one in each hand, quickly broke away from the encirclement of the tentacle monsters, and temporarily hid on the roof.

Mary's singing also stopped at the same time, and the carnivorous plant immediately woke up.

As if angered by the previous charm, a large number of tentacles began to search for the location of the four people.

"Let's retreat and go back to get weapons!" Tiona shouted.

"No, if we leave, the people around us will surely suffer heavy casualties." Mary's eyes were firm. "I can do this again. Please take this opportunity to eliminate them."

"But, but we can't break their defense now!" Diona looked anxious. Without weapons, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the key was that Lefiya had become a target. If she chanted the spell, she would definitely be targeted. It was a dead end.

At this time, Lefiya's expression was also very ugly. She bit her lower lip and her hands were shaking.

"It's okay, I will help everyone." Mary took two steps back and protected everyone in front of her.

She raised her wand high, and the miraculous golden light shone again.

[Golden Tree Pledge], strengthen attack power and defense power.

【Black Flame Blessing】, strengthens physical damage reduction.

[Black Flame Blade], gives the Amazon twin sisters a fire attribute enchantment, but only on the right hand.

Tiona and Tione's right hands suddenly sank, and the black flames completely enveloped their right hands, which looked terrifying.

"Waaaaaaaa, my hands, my hands are burning ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Diona screamed sharply, covering her hands and trying to roll on the ground, but she was immediately held down by her older sister's left hand.

"Don't make any noise. This fire doesn't seem to hurt us." Tione was good at hand-to-hand combat, and she understood what to do next almost instantly, clenching her right fist.

"Oh, really!" Diona was delighted when she realized her right hand didn't feel any burning pain. "I feel a lot stronger now!"

Tione felt the change in her ability and glanced back at Mary, who was wrapped in golden light.

"Thank you, little girl... We're on it!"

Tione shot out with a somewhat excited laugh on her face. Having fought for many years, she immediately realized the extent of her current enhancement.

The fist wrapped in black flames pierced through the tentacles' defense with ease, and instantly turned into black mist and exploded.
