two days later.
Eighteenth floor, Rivera town.
A few unkempt figures stood outside the town, staring intently at the lively atmosphere inside.
"I finally saw the existence of other human beings. Sure enough, it is not easy for adventurers. It is also an unspeakable torture to stay in this dark dungeon and fight monsters every day!"
Kanae couldn't help expressing her own opinion, recalling the experience of the past few days, she was a little bit terrified.
Apart from fighting the Minotaur every day, there is nothing else to do. It's okay in a short time, but it's really a bit of a torture in the long run!
Now that the battle is completely over, it is finally possible to take a little rest.
In fact, not only Kanae thinks so, but other people think the same way. If it weren't for Shinobu's magic that can restore physical strength and injuries, I'm afraid they would have been unable to persist.
However, the harvest obtained is naturally very rich.
After the battle with the Minotaur, both combat experience and swordsmanship have been improved to a certain extent. As for how much the ability value has been improved, it will only be known after returning to the surface.
"Everyone has worked hard, take a good rest today, and we will return to the surface together tomorrow."
Yami led the crowd into Rivera Town, went straight to the temporary residence of Hephaestus Familia, and arranged temporary rooms for everyone.
Lying on the bed, Yami, who had not felt tired for a long time, had a rare good night's sleep.
After all, in the dungeon, especially on the very dangerous floor of the sixteenth floor, the Minotaur would not be so kind to let adventurer's rest, and often they could only take a nap
Then you have to stand up and continue fighting, that feeling is very painful.
Fortunately, they finally survived, he only hoped that the final harvest would not be too bad!
Early the next morning, everyone woke up early.
After getting a good night's sleep and taking a bath, the image of being unkempt due to the battle disappeared completely, and everyone regained their ability.
Among them, Tengen is the most, and he, who regards being gorgeous as his life creed, can't stand being covered in filth for a long time.
There are very few places in the dungeon where people can wash with peace of mind, so the man whose body was accidentally contaminated with the blood of the Minotaur was visibly weakened by the naked eye in almost everyone's sight.
It wasn't until this morning that he completely recovered from the appearance of being a beggar.
"Yo, everyone, today is another gorgeous day, hahaha!!!"
Probably because he has been suppressed for too long, Tengen looked extraordinarily excited today, leaving Yami speechless for a while.
The pillars of the Demon Slayer team are also a group of problem children!
However, their fighting strength and fighting talent are indeed beyond doubt, so although there are some minor problems, it's completely within the acceptable range.
"It's great to see you recover again, because it's far better."
Kanae didn't think there was anything wrong with it, on the contrary, she found it very interesting.
After a few simple greetings, Yami clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone, the food we carried has been exhausted now, and after repeated battles, both physical strength and energy are exhausted, so it's time to return to the ground to rest."
"After all, we did not gain nothing during this trip. At least the scale powder of the poisonous moth was successfully collected. The remaining materials cannot be collected in a short period of time, so we need to think long-term. It is best to go back and update the ability value first, and wait until your strength improves after entering the deep layer. There should be no objection to this, right?"
Having said that, Yami stopped speaking, and looked towards everyone.
Everyone looked calm. After this trip to the dungeon, they realized the gap between themselves and the powerful monsters.
It is only possible to collect all the materials while alive, if you die, then there is no hope forever.
"It seems that everyone has no objections, so it's decided, and we can go back to the ground."
Seeing that no one refuted, Yami nodded immediately, "During this temporary break, maybe we can ask the other pillars to come, since if we want to go deeper, we still need the help of other forces."
"Ah, do you want to take those guys over? That would be great!"
Hearing Yami's words, Tengen and Iguro's eyes shone with light.
If the strongest among them arrives, after receiving the grace of God, with the ascetic character of the other party, he will definitely be able to obtain a huge improvement in the shortest possible time.
Perhaps at that time, the materials needed to cure the lord's magic potion will depend on him!
"We really trouble you, Yami-san."
"No, it's just a matter of raising one's hands, it's better to say it's a job, and this will also make the Hestia Familia and Hephaestus Familia stronger, won't it?"
This is indeed Yami's original intention deep in his heart.
After all, Orario is the capital of the gods, a place where a large number of gods gather, and most of the gods also have their own families and industries, and they are playing around without doing their jobs every day.
In case his ability is accidentally exposed and aroused the coveting of a large number of Familia members, it is very difficult to rely on one person.
It is not without reason that two fists are difficult to defeat four hands.
Even the strongest member of the Freya Familia, their strongest Fighter Ottar, would not dare to face the attack of the entire Loki Familia alone, let alone Yami, a small Lv.2, so before that kind of thing happens, he still needs to plan ahead.
He won't ask for too much help from those around him, but at least they can share some of the pressure.
People have different thoughts, but they are all full of expectations for a bright future.
Originally an organization that existed to eliminate demons, now Muzan has died, and the demon army under his command has also been destroyed, but letting them, the Demon Slayer who are accustomed to living with their lives always on the line, return to normal people is not an easy thing.
So coming to Orario, became an adventurer, and carried out the exploration and battle ignited everyone's enthusiasm again.
What's more, in this process, their Lord's physical illness can be cured, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
Maybe it's a good life!
"Then let's go back to Orario!"
"Oh!!!"
The exciting battle has come to an end for the time being, and then they just need to avoid the battle and return to the ground.
The mood was completely different from when they came here. At this time, everyone was extremely relaxed, and soon left Rivera Town, and entered the seventeenth floor through the revolving stone staircase.
Since they were not particularly anxious, Yami and the others did not start running, but walked slowly with a relaxed expression on their faces.
Although it is not the first time to come to the seventeenth floor, when they arrive again, they will still be shocked by the luxurious architecture in the main room of the floor.
The cave space is enough to accommodate several football fields, and one wall is like a crystal wall, emitting colorful halos all the time.
The walls, the ground, the rock plate, and even the two passages are all rendered in colorful patterns.
Even if the floor master has not been refreshed, you can feel the oppressive feeling left by the floor master just by standing on the seventeenth floor.
A series of words that can be used to describe powerful fill their ears at this time.
Everyone walked in this space unhurriedly. Although the surrounding air was very oppressive, their psychological endurance was very strong, so they didn't feel too uncomfortable
"It's a pity that I didn't get to see the floor master this time."
Kanae suddenly let out a sigh of regret, and her eyes leisurely stayed on the surrounding rock walls. But when she saw the completely different crystal wall, she was slightly taken aback.
The girl patted Yami's shoulder lightly, pointed to the crystal wall and said subconsciously: "Yami, that wall is completely different from when we came here before, it was obviously a little broken last night, but today it has been repaired, is this what you said, the self-healing of the dungeon?"
"Um?!"
Yami, who was concentrating on his journey, was attracted by what Kanae said.
Looking in the direction pointed by the other party's right hand, he saw that the crystal wall in her mouth has been completely restored, and the appearance is translucent, which looks of great value.
Because it was too late last night and everyone was very tired, even after passing through the seventeenth floor, they did not carefully observe the surrounding situation, even including Yami
He just glanced around lightly, then lost interest.
But seeing the situation in front of him again today, the feeling it gives to him is completely different from before.
Looking at the broken wall of the sigh that had already fully recovered, his nerves tensed up instantly, and he suddenly realized something, his expression was surprised and dignified at the same time.
"I really don't know whether I should say that we are lucky or not. It is the Broken Wall of Sighs, the hatching lair that gave birth to the floor master. As long as that wall is repaired, it will prove that the floor master has been refreshed and revived. If there is no accident, then A living Goliath will pop out after a while."
"As the floor master, that guy's corresponding level will be two levels higher than ordinary monsters on the same floor, that is, the existence of Lv.4, but it is stronger than Lv.4, with various attributes bursting, and it has magic which made it very troublesome to deal with."
"So let's hurry to the passage, maybe Kanae's wish to see the floor master will come true soon."
"Eh?!"
This time it was Kanae's turn to feel surprised.
Originally, she was just talking, but she didn't expect her words to come true.
"Then what should we do now? Temporarily abandon the plan to return to Orario, and work together to defeat Goliath?"
This time it was Shinobu who spoke. Although the girl was still serious, her words were full of joy.
"Although I don't want to say this, so far, everyone present, including me, is not qualified to attack Goliath. As an existence who has fought with superior adventurers, I can easily tell you clearly, the gap between high-ranking adventurers is worlds apart.
"Before, I was also a little swollen, I wanted to try to see if I should launch a crusade against Goliath, but after I calmed down, I was afraid for a while!"
"After all, I can't gamble with everyone's life, which is obviously unfair to you."
That's right, Yami gave up the crusade against Goliath.
Although it happens to be refreshed now, he really doesn't have the confidence to defeat this behemoth, no matter in terms of size, strength or attack power, there is a world of difference.
The most important point is that none of them have particularly powerful magic, and their basic ability values are already behind.
Going on a crusade is nothing more than hitting a stone with a pebble.
Yami can only say that he has embarrassed the senior traversers.
As a novice monster in the dungeon, he can't even beat Goliath, it's too embarrassing!
"Lv.4? It's really a distant level. If we can become a Lv.4 adventurer, then we can get all the materials needed to heal the lord!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately aroused the unanimous resonance of others.
These people in front of me have been upgraded to Lv.4, hehe, I am afraid that their combat power is comparable to that of Lv.5. What materials will not be available then?
However, it is not easy to grow to that level!
Everyone remained silent, as if they were thinking about something, but Yami's expression became more and more weird.
Even if you want to think about it, don't stop at this kind of place and think about it, okay?
Either stand at the passage on the 18th floor, or stand at the passage on the 16th floor. In case Goliath refreshes later, you can hurry up and run away.
Are you courting death?
"Although I know I can't beat it, I still want to give it a try. Just running away in such a hurry is not gorgeous at all."
Tengen suddenly raised his head and was the first to express his opinion.
The others expressed their attitudes one after another as if they had received the signal.
"Initiating a crusade against Goliath should also be counted as a great cause, right?" Although Iguro didn't say it clearly, this sentence has already expressed his attitude.
The rest of the girls didn't speak, but their determined gazes already showed their attitudes.
Seeing this scene, Yami already knew everyone's choice.
He didn't feel the slightest surprise. In other words, such a choice was in line with the characters of the group of guys in front of him. If they were afraid of powerful enemies, then they would not choose to become a demon slayer.
"I really can't do anything about you, if that's the case, then let's try a little bit."
"But before that, we still need to make complete preparations, Yushiro, please use magic to strengthen everyone's sight, Miss Tamayo uses magic to increase everyone's sight, and at the same time weaken Goliath, Shinobu, stand at the furthest range of casting spells, if you can't do anything to it, everyone rush to the sixteenth-floor passageway, understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone answered with one voice, and then drew out their weapons.
Yushiro used magic to leave the medium on everyone, not a target paper he had previously used, but any item he found on his body.
After doing all this, he didn't escape to the passage, but stood by Tamayo's side.
Seeing this, Yami didn't say much.
Since the other party is willing to do this, let him go. If there is an accident, it is not a problem to try to delay the time and let others evacuate.
What I don't know is whether it will be experienced.
But obviously, there is obviously not so much time to think about other things.
Suddenly, the originally silent space was broken, and the ground began to shake violently, like an earthquake. That kind of shaking made it almost impossible to keep standing.
Soon, the wall of sighs suddenly cracked, and huge crystal boulders fell off the wall one after another, smashing the ground into huge pits one after another, and a large amount of mud and sand splashed.
Just the scene in front of them made everyone's expressions tense.
This appearance scene is too exaggerated!
Boom!!!
A hand stretched out from the broken wall of sighs, grabbed the edge of the wall and pinched it hard, and then the whole wall collapsed and shattered completely, and fell to the ground under the action of gravity.
Boom!!!
Whoa whoa whoa—
Terrible vibrating sound came from the wall along with piercing roaring sound. The strong wind formed by the roaring sound even affected the air, and the clothes on everyone's bodies were blown away
At this moment, even breathing seems to be difficult.
Yami took a deep breath, and his expression became extremely serious.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you know how terrifying the visual impact is!
