I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

The area of ​​the eighteenth level is very large, with an exaggerated ceiling of hundreds of meters. The land is naturally very spacious. There are not only grasslands and wetlands, but also vast forests and lakes. There are many places to hide. At this moment, the red-haired woman has disappeared from the field of vision, so as long as the other party wants to hide, she will not be found.

We can only hope that Asuna, who is waiting below, will gain something.

However, the red-haired woman who had been killed by Asuna and even stored in the warehouse could not be found by Loki's followers no matter what.

After all, who would have thought that the woman was no longer in this world?

Wow~!

Asuna swam for a distance below before coming out of the water, her wet hair sticking to her skin. Like a water ghost, she swam slowly towards the lake.

Wow~!

Aisi, who had reached the shore without knowing when, looked at the lake with a suppressed expression. She clenched her fists tightly, and her golden eyes were full of unwillingness.

That red-haired woman might have some kind of relationship with Ais, Asuna guessed so, and prepared to find an opportunity to look at the body of the red-haired woman in the warehouse alone to see if she could find any clues.

She walked ashore step by step. The water on her body flowed to the surface due to gravity. Hearing the sound, Ais hurried over and looked at the wet Asuna at a loss, as if she didn't know how to help Asuna dry herself.

"I'm sorry, Aisi, I let her get away."

Well, she ran into my warehouse and you will never see her again in your life.

"No...it doesn't matter, I'll run into her sooner or later!"

Aisi shook her head gently, clenching her pink fists, and her tone was rarely serious.

Because there were still a lot of carnivorous plant monsters wreaking havoc in the town above, Finn and the others did not come down.

Lefiya, who originally wanted to come down with Ais, was pulled away by Riveria, who said that she should use magic to quickly clear out the monsters in the town, and did not allow Tione and Tiona to help. As a result, the elf girl and Ais had tears in their eyes, as if they would not be able to see Ais again later.

In order to dry themselves, Aisi brought Asuna to their makeshift camp. After lighting a bonfire, the two girls with different thoughts fell into silence.

Ais was thinking about the name the red-haired woman called out to her, while Asuna quietly slid her hands through some simple information about the red-haired woman in the warehouse.

When everything was settled, Finn, who was temporarily free, came to the base and expressed his gratitude to Asuna for her help. Then Livilia brought the elf girl, whose legs were shaking, back here and pulled Ais to thank her as well.

After all, we are not from the same clan. I can't just not even say thank you for helping me stop the red-haired woman whose strength is second only to level 6.

In response, Asuna simply nodded to indicate that you're welcome, and then simply said that she would continue to move deeper, and if she came across them when she came back in the future, she hoped to trade some of the dropped items with Loki's family.

After all, compared to going back to the guild to queue up to exchange money, it would be better to go directly to the people of Loki's family, ask them to write an IOU, and then sell the dropped items to them directly, which would save some trouble.

Of course, these dropped items would not be too excessive, at most they would be dropped items around the 40th floor. Otherwise, if they knew that she had reached below the 50th floor on her own, Asuna felt that it would cause a lot of trouble.

After a brief chat, Finn and his friends returned to the town to help deal with and treat the wounded.

Because of this sudden incident, Loki's family planned to evacuate the 18th floor first, and the people of the escort town would serve as their guards.

Chapter 21: The Resurrected Swordswoman, the Authority of the Gods

Normally, if it were a hired job, this kind of escort work would require payment, and normal profit-seeking adventurers would do the same.

But Finn felt sorry for them and prepared to do voluntary labor for them.

Money is nothing to the Loki clan. Although they owe a large sum of money due to the failed expedition, for the Loki clan it is just a debt that can be repaid with a little effort.

Therefore, compared to the tiny employment fee, a good reputation is better.

After all, between the Loki Familia with a good reputation and the Loki Familia who are hated by everyone, anyone who is not a fool can make a judgment and choose which one to choose.

After the commotion in the town, unlike Asuna who chose to continue going deeper underground, Ais and her group returned to the surface to take on the task of rescuing the wounded and escorting them as they evacuated to the surface. Then... they reported what had happened to the guild and their main god, Loki.

The guild suppressed the incident to avoid chaos, and also seized the few remaining special magic stones dropped by the Piranha Plant monster without any explanation.

As if something was being covered up, the matter was quickly settled with the operation of the guild.

On the other side, the dungeon.

Asuna, who learned the red-haired woman's name from the system, released her from her warehouse.

The red-haired swordswoman's name was Yvis. After a systematic inspection, Asuna unexpectedly discovered that she was not a human! Instead, she was a hybrid of a monster and a human!

However, like most humans and monsters, she died after being pierced through the heart. But for some reason, after Asuna put her in the warehouse, the huge wound she left on her heart was repaired by the system, and she even showed signs of waking up.

However, according to the system, the female swordsman Yves in front of him seemed to be willing to accept his control from now on, which meant...

"Owner……"

However, after waking up, Xavier seemed to have lost most of her wisdom and could only carry out some very simple conversations, but her memory of combat was not lost at all, and she was able to hold out for quite a while during the fight with Asuna, who suppressed her strength.

And, totally obedient!

From now on, when I go to another world, Belle and Alyssa won’t have to worry about me anymore!

According to the dungeon's level classification, Revis's level is LV5, but because of her combat skills and the powerful strength of the hybrid, her strength far exceeds that of an average LV5.

If Ai Si, who fought against Xavius ​​not long ago, had not been promoted to level 6, she would probably not have gained any advantage at the hands of Xavius.

And, most importantly, after resurrection, Yvis, who recognizes herself as the master, can still strengthen herself by devouring magic stones.

It was just like the inhuman monsters in the dungeon, a simple and crude way of strengthening that could be achieved simply by devouring magic stones.

In other words - I am no longer a human being!

"If Ais knew that Yvis could become stronger so easily, I wonder if that child would learn to eat magic stones~."

Asuna sighed.

Looking at Yvis standing in front of him without any defense, he felt that although this female swordsman was very powerful, she was actually the same as Ais in some aspects and didn't care about exposing her body at all!

She had fair skin, messy short hair that was blood red, and her plump breasts were completely damaged by the previous attack, which exposed two white breasts to Asuna without any cover.

The green eyes look less cold than before, but they will return to their previous coldness and indifference in battle. Even when fighting with Asuna, she will not show any mercy. Whether in appearance or strength, Xavier is exactly the same as before she died, without any change.

"Click, click, click."

Looking at Revis holding a fist-sized piece in both hands and becoming stronger by "eating", Asuna couldn't help but sigh at her luck.

If we let her go before, and wait for the outsider Yvis to come back for trouble after becoming stronger by eating magic stones, then there will be another dispute. Moreover, as a hybrid, she can fight against Ais and Finn at level 5 and temporarily hold her own. If she is promoted to level 6, will Ais and the others be able to suppress and subdue her so easily in a one-on-one fight?

Obviously it can't be done.

Moreover, Yvis, who has been growing up in the dungeon, must know secrets far beyond those of the humans on the surface. If she leads Loki's followers into an unknown trap, how many people will be able to survive her preparation?

With mixed feelings, Asuna found a set of loose clothes from the warehouse and asked Yves to change into them herself.

Finally, the whiteness on Yvis's chest was completely hidden, so that it would not appear in front of his eyes all the time, making him embarrassed to look directly at this female swordsman who was chewing the magic stone like a hamster.

Moreover, after this incident, I discovered a new use for the warehouse.

It can actually resurrect the dead!

Although he lost a lot of memory and wisdom after resurrection, if his friends were fatally injured in the future, could he kill them with his own hands and then put them into the warehouse to resurrect them?

Although he would lose his memory and wisdom, at least he survived!

As long as I pay attention to searching for magic related to resurrection when I travel to other worlds in the future, maybe I can restore his memory and wisdom!

"but……"

It is better not to use this ability ever.

Asuna doesn't want her friends or relatives to encounter any fatal danger, so she will not use this ability if possible. Even if she does use it, she has to make sure there is no one around!

After all, in this world where the gods have sealed their powers and can only live like ordinary people, resurrection is an absolute taboo.

Once discovered, even Hestia might not be able to protect herself, and might even be implicated!

After all, this involves the authority of the gods.

No matter what kind of world it is, resurrection of the dead is a taboo among taboos.

Most likely to be labeled as evil.

Therefore, this kind of thing must be done secretly, and no one else can know about it!

With Yvis having "finished her meal", Asuna and her quickly moved deeper.

There is no need to worry about too many things in this depth, because no one will appear in this depth without the clan expedition. And major events such as expeditions will usually cause a sensation in Orario and basically cannot be hidden from others. Therefore, Asuna can safely let Xavius ​​appear to kill the enemy and devour the magic stone.

Because the items and magic stones dropped by the monsters she killed would be automatically absorbed by the warehouse, Asuna let Xavius ​​go out hunting on her own to help her share some of the pressure.

However, due to her level and combat power, if she is alone, it will be difficult for Revis to survive for too long in this deep layer, so Asuna will let her stay on the 50th floor, which is also a safe floor like the 18th floor, and hunt some scattered monsters on the 51st floor at the entrance of her 50th floor.

Asuna herself continued to move deeper.

Chapter 22: Battle on the 51st floor, monsters appearing one after another

The pitch-black cave entrance was like the biggest black hole in the universe, quietly opening under the rock wall and swallowing all the living creatures passing by.

At the inner end of the cave, an extremely steep slope leads all the way down to a maze that exudes a dangerous atmosphere.

"call----!"

A chilly wind blew out from the cave entrance, spreading in all directions like the breath of the dungeon itself.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to survive in the dungeon without supplies, but Asuna does not have to worry about her own supplies because there is always enough medicine, food and water in her warehouse.

Now, what Asuna has to do is to go to the 59th floor and see what information the system has obtained from Xavius.

Moreover, it seems that Loki's family will continue the expedition soon. If the secret monster on the 59th floor is not strong, I am too lazy to defeat it. I will just treat it as a training ground for Ais and the others.

The adventurers in this world live in relative comfort because they have a common enemy - monsters!

Killing and fighting between people almost never happen openly. Even the so-called clan war is actually just a game of force competition between two clans.

Otherwise, Finn would not have held back when fighting with Yves and would have used his fists to attack her. Directly using the spear to pierce Yves' body, leaving her nowhere to escape, was actually the safest method.

It's just like the red-named players in SAO. Once you let them go out of pity, someone will still die at their hands in the future. You can only put them in jail in one go. Only when you have no other choice will you kill them.

The 52nd floor was surrounded by square stone pillars and was surrounded by dangerous darkness, forcing one to be extremely alert.

“Ah ...

The monster's roar echoed all around, as if its roar would never end and echoed throughout the maze.

In the pitch-black maze, the roars of the monsters intertwined into the elegy of hell, echoing back and forth throughout the corridor, shaking the eardrums.

A group of rhinos, which were pitch black in color and extremely large in size, rushed forward madly like chariots.

The roars of herds of black rhinos shake the eardrums, while their huge noise and heavy footsteps shake the earth.

It causes people to become deaf for a moment!

The rhino-like monster, caught in a rage, rushed forward, filling up the entire maze.

The black rhinos in the deep layer are attacking from all directions at a frequency that is completely unmatched by the floors so far!

"It's a bit big..."

The rapier in Asuna's hand glowed faintly as she looked at the huge rhino monster rushing towards her with the force of thunder. Her expression remained calm. As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.

The silver-white sword flashed like thunder that swept across thousands of troops, and enveloped the attacking black rhinos like a violent storm.

“Puff——!”

Every silvery flash can take the life of a black rhino.

“Crash!”

The invisible sword energy flying out from the blade ruthlessly harvested the lives of black rhinos.

The huge body was split in two. Asuna did not use any sword skills, but simply honed her swordsmanship among the black rhinos.

The magic power was gathered on the sword blade, and the sword energy helped her to quickly eliminate the attacking monsters from behind.

“Pah—!”

Amidst the roars and trampling, a faint but creepy cracking sound suddenly rang out.

"Rumble————!"

The walls on both sides of the maze cracked, and groups of black rhinos broke out from the cracked walls!

“Ho ho ho ho ho—!!!”

The endless roar, with rubble and thick sand flying in the air, formed a black storm that continued to surge like a violent storm.

This is the depth.

Completely different from the upper, middle, and lower levels, this area is filled with almost endless monsters.

In such an area, once the number of monsters is filled to a certain level, the dungeon will stop growing.
