A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

Serven walked calmly in front of the team, following behind Ais, finishing off newly born monsters or the sixth one hiding in the dense grass.

The Hermes family also witnessed Odyssey's swordsmanship for the first time.

Clean - it can be summed up in one word.

There are no unnecessary swings, one move will kill at least one monster, and there will not be a second swing.

There aren't any unnecessary moves, and there's no fancy moves like sword flower moves just to look cool.

He simply swung his sword, but he was always able to spot and kill the monsters before his companions in charge of reconnaissance.

This can no longer be considered a battle, it can only be called a harvest.

"This reconnaissance ability..." Yasfi marveled inwardly as she watched Serven clearing the way ahead.

Moreover, it can be big or small, long or short. This ability... is top-notch even in the whole of Orario.

In addition, when facing monsters that use flying attacks such as killer bees and firebirds, Serven actually used the long sword in his hand to build a wind wall to block all the incoming flying attacks.

Like magic but not magic——

He's obviously a swordsman, this is too extraordinary.

The other members of the Hermes Family have now turned into astonished monsters—

What is this boy so scary, he must not be allowed to stay. What is a real man should be like this. What is GieGie so awesome~.

For a moment, they praised wildly.

Many members looked as if their jaws were dislocated, and they followed Serven's footsteps mechanically in a daze.

As expected of a big boss - this is really a new bride's bridal chamber - just lie down and it's done.

------------

"¨~ The weather is so nice today."

Lefiya forced a smile and tried to find a topic to talk about.

"…What kind of shitty weather is this on the 18th floor?"

That was the situation. After setting out from the [Dusk Mansion], the team of three reached the eighteenth floor in just two hours. However, the atmosphere in the team was really not good.

The elf Filweiss from the Dionysus clan had a cold look on her face. She kept a few steps away from Lefiya and Bert and remained silent.

Bert was also not in the mood. He just kept on walking and ignored Lefiya.

The atmosphere among the three of them was too depressing. Lefiya tried to break the deadlock, but it only made the tense situation return to normal.

The elf with mountain-buzzed hair sighed, and his long, pointed elf ears drooped down involuntarily.

I really miss the carefree and cheerful Diona——

Lefiya glanced stealthily at her fellow tribesman not far away - she should be a little older than herself, with long black hair, crimson eyes, beautiful facial features and a heroic air.

Although she is very cold and doesn't respond when someone talks to her, she has been protecting the wizard Lefiya intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ms. Fei, Miss Feilweisi, thank you so much for what happened just now!"

"Thank you for helping me deal with the Minotaur... Actually, I'm not very good at dealing with monsters like that..."

Lefiya made up her mind again and continued to talk to Filweiss patiently.

"It's so noisy. I'm sick of it." Bert said coldly, "She's useless anyway. Just ignore her."

"I have no intention of pretending to be familiar with you, you lowly werewolf."

What responded to him were even more aggressive words.

"Tsk, I thought you were mute, you sinister elf." Bert raised his eyebrows.

But Fierweiss ignored the gossiping werewolf.

She turned her head and looked at Lefiya, her tone becoming gentle, "You're welcome... Lefiya."

Chapter 92: Grain Depot [Subscription Request]

Twenty-fourth floor.

The walls, ceiling, and even the ground of the maze are covered with tree bark, making you feel as if you have walked into the interior of a tree. Mosses that emit blue fluorescence grow randomly on the ground or on the tree trunks, forming a slightly dim light source.

There are all kinds of plants with leaves and flowers of strange shapes and colors. Each cave has different and rich landscapes, as if you have walked into a unique garden.

Correspondingly, the monsters are also all kinds of strange and the density is much higher. Without the highest level of Lv.2 ability, it is difficult to survive here.

"Wow, it's the White Tree!" Luluni exclaimed and ran over there excitedly.

I saw a big tree with a white trunk standing deep in the cave. The leaves of this tree can be used to make potions. Now because of the monster riot on the 24th floor, the market is in short supply, so I can sell it at a good price in the prop shop.

Yasfei grabbed Luluni's collar and pulled her back. Luluni's limbs struggled in the air, and in the end, she could only move further and further away from the white tree in vain.

"Wow, it's the jewel tree!" Luluni's tail wagged left and right excitedly, but this time, she didn't rush over directly. Instead, she stood where she was, staring at Yasfi pitifully out of the corner of her eye, waiting for Yasfi's decision.

Because the one guarding the gem tree is none other than the famous green dragon!

Like the treasure tree that produces fine wine and golden leaves, the gem tree is also a particularly valuable and rare plant. The fruit of the gem tree is worth a fortune, so it can be said to be a veritable money tree. However, beside the precious treasure, there must be a powerful treasure guardian -

The gem tree was full of beautiful red or blue gem fruits. A crouching green dragon followed Yasifi's line of sight and looked over.

Yasifei's body was a little stiff, and she could only suppress the greed in her heart. Now she had to give priority to the commission and not waste time.

It's almost time to say it -

Aisi rushed over like an arrow.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Oh! --!" The green dragon glared at the invader and issued a warning.

Ais's blood was beating wildly, dragon, dragon, dragon——!!

She glared at the green dragon in front of her, mobilized all her strength, and superimposed layers of gusts of wind on her sword—

Sword Princess dodged and thrust with all her might——!

With one strike, the green dragon turned into dust and drifted in the air, and a huge magic stone fell to the ground.

Aisi staggered a few steps, confusion written all over her eyes.

Serven stepped forward and touched Aisi's head. "She just upgraded and hasn't mastered her power yet."

It was like using a big move, but it ended up hitting a vulnerable soldier.

Aisi's face suddenly turned red, she made a fool of herself in front of Serven.

She sheathed the sword quickly and calmly, with a serious expression, pretending to be a master who was indifferent to the world.

Serven smiled gently and watched Luluni with shining eyes rushing out like a wild dog, picking the gem fruits so quickly that even an afterimage appeared.

Several members couldn't help but run over to help pick the fruits.

Yasifei held her forehead and sighed.

After picking the fruits, the group continued on their way, with Serven and Ais still leading the way.

"I always feel like we are of no use..." said a member of the Hermes Family with a wry smile.

"Do you want to take action too?" Serven suddenly turned around and looked over.

The member looked stunned, obviously not expecting Serven's hearing to be so good that he could hear his mumbling.

"You guys take a rest for a while, let our clan members move around a bit." Yasifei said.

On the other side, after Ais noticed that Serven had put away his knife, she also retreated.

"Are you tired?" Serven asked.

Aisi's eyes were fixed on Serven, her pupils reflecting Serven's figure. Hearing this, she shook her head slightly.

“After upgrading, I don’t feel tired as much.”

Serven nodded. After being together for such a long time, he was able to tacitly grasp what the girl wanted to express from her brief words.

After Ais was upgraded to Lv6, her toughness was greatly enhanced, and she could fight for a long time without any problem.

In contrast, although Serven can gain physical strength from fighting monsters, he may not be able to recover physical strength continuously in fighting humans. It is estimated that if he wants to "wrestle" with Ai Si in the future, he will suffer a great loss if he lacks physical strength.

Seeing Serven's expression change, Ais blinked her beautiful eyes, picked up her water bottle and handed it over.

After Serven finished drinking, she took it and took a sip without hesitation.

"What...what...what, the rumors are true! [Sword Princess] is really in love with [Odyssey]!" Luluni had a gossipy expression on her face, her eyes wide open, not wanting to miss any details.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Yasifei knocked her head gently, and Yasifei continued, "Get ready for battle!"

[Hermes Family] finally makes its debut!

The tiger men wielding greatswords and shields, the dwarfs who are good at seizing opportunities to cast magic, the elves who can switch from bows and arrows to hand axes at will...especially the central guards led by Yasfi, their joint attacks and emergency responses are very swift, and their actions are very orderly and efficient.

The strength they displayed was comparable to or even stronger than the core members of the Loki Clan except for the first-level adventurers like Esrivilla.

Ais watched the actions of the [Hermes Familia] with some admiration, and Serven walked slowly beside them, admiring Ais's cute profile from time to time.

He suddenly looked forward seriously, and Ais followed Serven's gaze.

"Everyone stop immediately!" Yasifei's voice came.

At the huge intersection in front of the passage, the glowing moss was covered by countless densely packed, swaying shadows—countless monsters seemed to be pouring out!

"Oh my God!" Luluni screamed beside her.

The adventurers felt a chill down their spines and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Serven's eyes lit up and he looked at Ais on the side. The girl met his eyes and nodded at him.

Serven jumped several times and flashed to the front of the team.

Some of the monsters also noticed this side. They left the main group, turned around and rushed towards this side in groups. Other monsters also reacted and followed closely.

What greeted them was a rainbow-like slash that spanned more than ten meters!

The monster rushing in front was directly split into two. The flying slashes continued, and the monsters following behind were also cut. The monster group was cleared out in an instant.

·· ····Request flowers··· 0

The members of the Hermes Family were stunned. This was already comparable to a large-scale magic!

But Serven remained calm, without blinking, and continued to launch four or five large-scale slashes.

The group of monsters was cleared out by the continuous flying slashes, and finally only a small cluster of monsters was left, and they fled in other directions.

"Is this the strength of Odyssey?" someone murmured to himself.

"Great!" Yasifei praised generously, with admiration in her beautiful eyes.

The supporters of the Hermes Family immediately took action to collect the magic stones on the ground. Yasfei took this opportunity to unfold the map brought by Luluni and frowned in thought.

In the southwest, southeast, and north corners of the map, there were three large holes that were larger than any other caves, circled with red circles. There were three granaries on the 24th floor, but because the area of ​​the 24th floor was already half that of Orario, it would take a lot of effort to go around the three granaries at the edge of the floor, and considering the time to encounter monsters.

..

"Have you decided?" Serven glanced at the map.

"Yes." Yasfei met the gazes of the team members, "Go to where the monsters are."

【？】A puzzled look appeared on Ais’s face.

"Since the food warehouse is the cause of the monster surge, then we just need to go in the direction where the monsters are coming from, and we should be able to find the cause nearby."

"...North?"

There were indeed many monsters pouring in from the north. Moreover, as they went deeper, a green wall that was out of tune with the surroundings blocked Serven and the others, completely blocking the road.

It was like a densely intertwined mass of tree roots covered with green mosses, with densely distributed egg-shaped tumors on them, tangled together with the rhizomes, and jumping in a disgusting manner.

"plant?!"

"wall?"

"Are you sure it's this way? Yasfi."

After receiving a positive answer, Serven tore the wall apart with a slash.

Inside was an endless maze-like passage. After sensing it with his observation Haki, Serven strode in.

But when Serven barely entered, the hole he tore closed up. The disgusting green wall grew again, completely blocking Serven's retreat.

Aisi's pupils shrank, and she drew her sword. Although a passage appeared, there was no sign of Serven.
