Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

As an exploration-type Familia in a serious sense, the Loki Familia bear the front-line pressure and the expectations of the entire Orario, and every move they make will cause an uproar.

In front of the group of adventurers, the core combat forces who were already ready to go were gathered together and chatting casually.

Holding a spear, as a dwarf, he looks very mature, and his level is as high as lv6. Finn, who has the title of brave, is looking at his team members with a smile. In a sense, his right to speak is actually far greater than Loki.

Ais, who was wearing formal white light armor and had hair as gorgeous as golden sand, stood quietly in the center of the team like a moon surrounded by stars, surrounded by two chattering Amazon girls.

The bold outfit, matched with healthy wheat-colored skin and heroic facial features, not only does not appear neutral, but instead has a unique sense of cuteness.

The Amazon race is best described by their astonishingly open view on choosing a mate and their loyalty to that person once they have chosen him or her.

Tiona and her sister Tione, the twin sisters are not only a beautiful scenery different from Ais, but also representatives of the Amazon race.

However, although they look like just a pair of pretty girls, anyone who underestimates them will soon realize how they got such unique titles as 'Big Sever' and 'Angry Snake'.

"Aisi, invite the hero who defeated you to the party after returning from this expedition. I heard that the Soma clan has started to sell off a large amount of their stock of divine wine in the past few days. It's a pity that you have to go on the expedition before you have the chance to drink it once..."

"Idiot! What kind of excuse is that? Aisi has her own plans. Besides, if you really want to find a chance to meet, isn't there time everywhere? I heard that he has entered the deep realm, but he is only level 1. Many places in Orario are already betting on when he will upgrade."

At the edge of the team, there was an orc youth with a lightning-shaped tattoo on his face and distinctive wolf ears and tail. Bert was listening to them quarreling with an unhappy look on his face, especially when they mentioned Roland, he even snorted.

This made the two sisters who noticed this laugh even more happily. Bert's crush on Ais was no longer a secret among Loki's family. It was probably only Ais herself who knew nothing about it.

"Okay, okay, get ready, we're about to leave."

Standing in the back with Livilia, the dwarf named Gareth, who looked to be in his late 6s and seemed very reliable, clapped his hands and interrupted the noise of the younger generations. He was the last level of Loki's family besides Finn and Livilia, and he had been active under the name of Chongjie many years ago.

Although Roland had no impression of the remaining people, these members alone were enough to understand how seriously the Loki Familia attached importance to this expedition.

Although it is normal to go on an expedition when the floor master starts to refresh, from the discussions of the surrounding adventurers, it is not difficult to find that this expedition is a few days earlier than the previous rules of the Loki family.

Thinking of Livilia and Ais's previous mission, Roland's eyes flickered a few times.

Has the influence of Qi Ling begun to show?

Just as he was deep in thought, a clear line of sight suddenly came over to him.

The moment she saw Roland, Ai left the team without hesitation and walked up to Roland. No emotion could be seen on her pretty face, but her quiet eyes were always fixed on Roland.

"Hello, Miss Ais."

Roland looked at the serious-looking girl and smiled.

"Hello, Roland."

After hearing Roland's words, Ai Si tilted her head and greeted him in an awkward manner, imitating Roland's manner.

At this time, the group of Loki's family also noticed Roland's presence, and they all came over and looked at him with strange expressions.

Tiona and Tione looked at Roland with very curious eyes, as if they were looking at something rare. After seeing Roland's face, Tiona, the younger sister, enthusiastically hugged Roland's arm, as if she had met a fan of her idol.

"A hero who lives in the real world! I've only seen him in books before!"

Although he didn't know why the Amazon girl was so kind to him, Roland still responded to her with a smile.

"Tiona, don't be so rude."

Livilia also walked over with a serious face, nodded to Roland, and introduced the members behind him.

"This is Roland, the one who obtained the fairy's contract before receiving the grace and defeated Ais."

"Fairy and hero?"

Gareth and Finn were both a little surprised, only Bert, who was hiding at the back of the team, showed an unhappy expression.

"Where's your immortal essence?"

Aisi tilted her head and looked around Roland, but after not finding the nostalgic figure, she asked in confusion.

"Esther has gone into the seal to rest. I'll call her out when needed."

Roland shrugged and asked back with a smile.

"We are going to start the expedition so soon, is it because of what happened last time?"

Livilia and Finn looked at each other subconsciously, but admitted it.

"You are a hero recognized by Loki, so there is no need to hide it. Yes, some unusual movements have begun to occur on the upper floors. For future strategic considerations, the guild hopes that we will deal with the floor masters and keep the communication between the floors as smooth as possible."

"Really?" Roland smiled kindly. "In that case, I have a humble request..."

-

"You want to defeat the floor master and accomplish great things? But you are only level 1!"

Walking along the underground passage with Loki's family, Roland explained his reasons, causing a burst of exclamations.

"I remember it was only a day since Ai Si came back frustrated, one, two..."

Tiona, who was standing next to Roland, began to count the days since Roland entered Orario by counting on her fingers.

"Six days."

Livilia interrupted Tiona expressionlessly and looked at Roland with surprise.

"In just six days, you have grown to the limit of level 1? With your strength, it would be better to accumulate more."

"I can't raise my rank any higher. Besides, the number six suits my taste very well. Let's just solve it today."

Roland smiled kindly, looking sunny.

"Solve it together?"

But at this time, a slightly unhappy and questioning voice also sounded, and the werewolf youth Bert was looking at Roland with an unhappy face.

"Even with the help of the immortal spirit, the floor master can't be defeated by a guy who hasn't even been in the dungeon for a few days!"

Such unwarranted provocation made the good-tempered Finn frown. Just as he was about to say something, Ai Si spoke before him.

"I believe it, Roland."

Ess's serious and simple words immediately made Bert wilted and his face completely froze. However, when he looked at Ess who was defending Roland so much, the expression on his face became even more resentful.

"That's enough, Bert. You should know that Aisi would not lie. Moreover, although Loki is usually unreliable, he is very sensible in this matter. Since she was able to give the order for the Familia to help Roland with all their strength, it is enough to prove the authenticity of those legends."

But Finn did not give him a chance to continue speaking and sternly warned Burt. Faced with the captain's words, even the rebellious Burt did not dare to act rashly anymore.

"I'm sorry, he was so rude..."

After scolding Bert, Finn immediately turned around and apologized to Roland. Although he might have been just a person borrowing his name, he was so graceful. It was not difficult for Roland to understand why Type-Moon's brush brother Diarmuid felt so regretful for betraying his master.

"After all, this kind of thing is too unbelievable. I can understand if you don't believe it. So, why don't you let me prove it?"

Roland shook his head and said he didn't care.

"Next, please let me face the floor owner alone."

This declaration made the passage suddenly quiet. Led by Finn, all the members of Loki's clan looked at Roland with unprecedented eyes.

Even Tiona, who was very confident in it, was a little hesitant.

"Although I think the hero will definitely not lose, the floor master is different from the monsters we usually encounter. Even if you have experience in facing groups of monsters, you can't use it on the floor master..."

Roland pursed his lips lightly, opened his mouth slightly, and decided the matter in a calm tone.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, no matter whether the dust you sweep is one or two, there is no difference to the naked eye."

Chapter 129 The Changes in the Horse Talisman

"We're here. This is the room of the floor master Goliath."

The lively Tiona smiled warmly at Roland. She didn't look like a first-level adventurer at all, but more like a follower.

This is the most prominent feature of the Amazon race. Once they set their eyes on someone, they will do their best to please the other person until they get the person. If the power gap is particularly large, many people will use tough measures. In Orario, many farcical crimes are caused by this.

It's a pity that although Roland is not a hypocrite, he would not show an overly intimate attitude at this time. He just looked at the cave in front of him with a puzzled look.

Unlike the other floors, the eighteenth floor is a huge rock chamber. Overall, it looks like a flat rectangle. The walls, ceiling, and ground are all made of rough stones.

But on one side, the structure of the wall is completely different. It is as flat as the surface of ice and as smooth as polished marble. It stands quietly in the front left of the passage, waiting for the challenger to arrive.

Such special rooms only appear on specific floors, just like special boss battles in dungeons. The monsters spawned from them are very powerful, but relatively speaking, the respawn time is also much longer.

In terms of level, the potential ability of the floor master is roughly the level of the monsters on that floor plus two levels. The monster called Goliath is probably around level 4.

However, as its name, 'The Lonely King of the Labyrinth', suggests, simply viewing it from a hierarchical perspective will only lead to a painful lesson.

Templates like Floor Master also make them different from ordinary monsters. Although they are nominally only level 4, in terms of attributes, Goliath's level has reached level 5. Level 4 is only its nominal challenge level, that is, a group of elite level 4 teams up to challenge and share this great cause.

To deal with him alone, only advanced adventurers who have already surpassed this level can do this.

As Roland gradually walked into the grotto, the Loki family members also stopped and stared at the hero who walked into it alone.

Just as Roland officially walked to the center, the smooth giant wall seemed to be stimulated by something, and began to produce a terrible crack from top to bottom, as if it was split open by a giant with an axe.

As the gravel fell, huge sound waves continued to rise, and finally exploded with a loud bang.

"Bam—!"

With a loud shattering sound, the wall exploded, revealing a huge monster that could not hide its shadow even in the flying dust.

A giant who looks like a human, with skin like gray-brown rock, muscular body, and a body as if cast from steel, long black hair draped over his bent back, and purple crystals all over his joints, walked out slowly. He looked extremely scary, and even the light in the cave was blocked by his terrifying body.

Then, he let out a mournful roar that sounded like crying, and the sound waves turned into a roar like a shock wave, which continued to vent out.

After the roar, Goliath quickly locked onto Roland who was standing in front of him, and looked at him with brutal eyes. Without any hesitation, he rushed towards Roland on the ground like a moving mountain, with every step carrying an unparalleled roar.

But at this moment, all of Loki's clan members at the rear of the battlefield showed expressions of worry and surprise, without exception.

It’s not that they don’t believe in Roland’s ability, but the situation before them is too abnormal.

"When did the purple crystal on Goliath appear?"

Tiona was the first to ask the question and looked at Livilia next to her.

"It has never appeared, at least not in the number of times I have fought against it."

Although she looks like a beauty, as one of the elders of Loki's family, Livilia, who usually regards age as a taboo, said so, so there is only one answer.

"Have the changes deep in the dungeon begun to affect the floor master?"

Finn's expression became more serious. "Judging from its current power, this Goliath is already at level 5. If this kind of abnormality continues to occur, or even spreads to ordinary monsters, it will be troublesome."

"Then what are we waiting for, go help him."

Tiona said anxiously, and Aisi had already drawn her sword.

A Lv4 floor master must be at least lv5 to be able to deal with it stably. A lv5 level requires the care of Tiona and others to be safe. Letting Roland face this mutated monster alone is obviously different from what was agreed.

"Wait... Livilia, prepare your magic first. If anything unexpected happens, be ready to attack Goliath."

But Finn stopped the team members behind him and looked at Livilia beside him.

If Livilia is given enough time to chant, even if Goliath undergoes a mutation, he will not be able to escape the attack from her as a level 6 wizard.

Livilia nodded and began to prepare to chant.

"Captain, why..."

Tiona asked in some confusion, rubbing her toes on the ground restlessly, but ultimately she did not disobey Finn's orders.

Gareth on the side said with a tone of experience.

"Since you want to pursue that hero, listen to Finn. Otherwise, your interference will only make Roland complain about you."

"Eh?"

The dwarf looked at the young man standing still in the center of the battlefield and explained in an expectant yet experienced tone.

"Although we didn't see it with our own eyes, if Roland really defeated Ais with his brute force, then the current battle would probably be more to his liking. Therefore, we should just witness it together before the situation changes."

Hearing this, Finn also smiled with interest and stared at the crystals on Goliath's body with a thoughtful expression.

Roland frowned, looking at the purple crystals on Goliath's body. He did not have as much experience as Loki's followers in dealing with Goliath, but that did not prevent him from realizing that the floor master in front of him was different from before.

He felt a vague soul power on those purple crystals. It was these things that served as energy, stimulating Goliath to become stronger.

But the power of the sheep talisman also made him realize that there was no such thing as a soul in the monster before him.

Then why do the monsters generated from the dungeon undergo such changes? Is it the same for the monsters in deeper levels? What is the true face of this so-called contract spirit that can fill Roland's spiritual weaknesses?

Roland had a lot of questions in his mind.

However, these are all things that need to be considered later. Goliath, who has already rushed in front of him, obviously does not intend to give him that much time.

Therefore, there was only one thing he had to do in response.
