In the dark night, thunder flashes.
Yami turned into a thunderbolt, and his speed was almost increased to the extreme. He appeared under the Tower of Babel in a few breaths, and entered the dungeon without disturbing anyone.
It was not the first time he had entered the dungeon at night, everything seemed so familiar.
I don't intend to stay too much on the upper floor. With the power of the thunderous fruit, his speed can be said to be on full throttle. Yami can turn into thunder and lightning and continuously disappear. This speed is almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, and only a streak of dazzling white lightning stays in place.
In just two hours, he had already appeared in the middle level.
It was not until reaching the sixteenth floor that Yami slowed down his progress.
"Then start killing from here. It just so happens that the lowest floor I have ever reached is the eighteenth floor. I have never seen what the monsters behind it look like. Let's take a good look at it tonight~"
Rubbing his fists, Yami pinned the Sun Sword around his waist, stuck it close to his back, and ran towards the direction of the downward floor passage.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Yami subconsciously stopped his steps.
His observation hakk sensed the surrounding situation, Yami frowned slightly, and just as he looked around, he heard ten bursts of intensive landing sounds entering his ears.
In his line of sight, dozens of Minotaurs suddenly appeared in this arc-shaped cave, born from the surrounding walls and the stone walls of the ceiling, and fell to the ground one after another.
A large number of minotaurs have also appeared behind him.
In the blink of an eye, Yami was surrounded by countless Minotaurs.
"Ah, unexpectedly there will be an abnormal situation, a monster feast? So, is this a welcome from the dungeon? It really helped a lot. I wanted to exercise my muscles and bones. Since you are welcoming me like this, naturally I won't be polite either."
Looking at the dense crowd of Minotaurs, Yami also showed an excited expression on his face.
With this amount of monsters, even a Lv.3 adventurer would never dare to say that they will be able to solve them. After all, this is a Minotaurs, an elite monster in Lv.2.
If it was in the past, Yami might still feel troublesome, but now, it can no longer cause him any trouble.
"Then let's say hello first!"
"ROooaAaRRr!!!"
The Minotaurs, holding a stone axe, faced Yami and let out a roar that shook the sky.
One after another, the terrifying roar echoed continuously in the cave, and the aura under the combination gushed out in an instant, the whole cave was shrouded in a terrible atmosphere.
The next moment, these Minotaurs were no longer limited to deterrence, but turned into wild bulls and launched a charge.
"Calm down, bastards!"
Yami's pupils shrank sharply, and immediately after that, a burst of aura surged out, honed to the extreme conqueror haki, crushing the aura released by the Minotaur in an instant, and then under the impact, the statures of all the Minotaurs stagnated suddenly.
Almost all the Minotaurs fell into a state of dull eyes, and many of them fell directly to the ground because they rushed too fast.
After a few breaths, something terrifying happened.
bang bang bang!!!
There was a series of impact sounds, and a huge group of Minotaurs fell to the ground like dumplings, their eye sockets had lost all vitality, and they were still foaming at the mouth.
With just one round of conqueror haki, all the Minotaurs lost their ability to move.
"Is it only this level?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Yami frowned slightly, looking a little disappointed, "At first I was expecting a little bit, but now it looks like I may be stronger than I imagined. Then let's go deeper, but I don't know if Goliath is still there."
"Other than that, I don't know where to collect the achievements needed for the upgrade, it's a little troublesome…"
When he thought of his broken ability value and the great achievements needed to upgrade, he was a little at a loss as to what to do.
However, as long as he continues to go deeper, he can always accumulate enough.
Having completely lost interest in the Minotaurs, Yami killed all the Minotaurs with one kick, put away the magic stone in his body, and accelerated towards the lower floors
When he reached the seventeenth floor, the expected Goliath did not appear, which made him a little disappointed.
From the looks of it, it should have been killed by some unknown team of adventurers. After all, although Goliath is the first floor master and a Lv.4 monster, in general it's still a novice monster.
Weaker adventurers need it to accumulate ability points and great achievements, and powerful adventurers just kill it casually, so every time Goliath is refreshed, adventurers who are capable of attacking it are very eager to do so. So it's not uncommon for Goliath to be always available.
Yami didn't pay too much attention to it, and went straight through the seventeenth floor and the safe floor, and entered the new world.
Compared with a team, Yami's progress is very fast.
Standing within the scope of the nineteenth floor, Yami subconsciously slowed down, and looked around subconsciously. No matter the ceiling, the surrounding walls, or even the ground here are made of bark.
It is also for this reason that the area from the nineteenth to the twenty-fourth floors is called the Big Tree Labyrinth.
In the passage leading to the depths, there are various plants growing, and the luxuriant moss exudes blue or green light, making everything around it look very mysterious.
All kinds of plants make this place the most natural treasure house.
In the big tree maze, there are also a lot of medicinal materials growing. Many adventurers collect these medicinal materials and make them into magic potions, which are very popular among adventurers.
Therefore, the value of the big tree maze can be said to be quite high.
However, not everyone can come to this kind of place. After all, the environment of the big tree labyrinth in the middle area is quite complicated, which also provides a habitat for the monsters.
Flame-breathing firebirds, bloody beehives and deadly hornets, trap-type monsters with mimicry abilities, dark poisonous mushrooms, green tree dragons, moss giants, etc., will all cause a lot of trouble for adventurers, but since he has never seen it before, Yami also doesn't know the method of their attacks.
Among them, the most troublesome monster is the poisonous demon maggot.
There is not much threat under a single body, but if it gathers a terrifying amount, it will be very troublesome, especially like some adventurers who are alone, there is almost no possibility of surviving.
"Not to mention, the environment here is really beautiful."
Walking in the maze of big trees, Yami looked very leisurely, without feeling the slightest pressure.
If he wants to, he can even easily avoid the attacks of all the monsters.
However, he wanted to learn about the attack methods of the new monsters, so he had no intention of avoiding them deliberately.
After a while, he met the first monster in the big tree maze.
The monsters here are all Lv.2, the number is huge, and there are a pair of huge horns on their heads that are as sharp as sword blades, it is completely impossible to tell whether they are sheep or deer.
At least, there is no such creature in the common sense of ordinary people.
"Wooooorrrr!!!"
The huge sword-horned deer roared ferociously, and then swooped towards Yami with the sharp sword-like antlers.
The latter stood in place, without the slightest thought of dodging, but stretched out his right hand to resist.
"Clang!" There was a crisp metal impact, and Yami steadily received the impact of the sword-horned deer, standing straight on the spot without shaking at all, and at the same time, his palms were not damaged in the slightest.
With such a weak monster in front of him, there is no way to break through his armament defense.
"The strength is not bad, and the sword antlers are very sharp. After the acceleration, the momentum is huge. It is indeed a bit bluffing, but it is not as scary as imagined. It is not bad."
After making a simple evaluation, Yami clenched his fist and slammed it down.
The head of the sword-horned deer in front of him burst open like a watermelon. There was no obstacle at all due to the huge gap in strength, and he directly killed the sword-horned deer in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Yami raised his foot and swung out, a huge vacuum slash flew out, killing all the sword-horned deer.
"It's so weak, there's no challenge at all, I feel like Lv.3 adventurers can't stop me, I just don't know if higher level monsters will be the same…"
"However, if I want to test Lv.4 level monsters, I need to go to the thirty-sixth floor, which is a bit too time-consuming. Today, I have made an appointment with Shinobu and the others. If I want to continue to test my limit, it is obviously impossible to release play here. Then Just go deeper."
"As for the official expedition, I can only wait until I have a chance later."
After making up his mind, Yami didn't waste any more time, his speed instantly increased to the highest level, and he turned into lightning and disappeared on the spot in an instant.
After a while, he rushed out of the big tree maze.
Even if it is his first time to come to this kind of floor, even if there is no map, the whole floor has nothing to hide from him because he has observation haki. He can completely rely on the distribution of monsters to find the correct path to the lower level.
Soon, he came to beyond the twenty-fourth floor, which is the area where Lv.3 level monsters are active.
As he thought before, his strength has far exceeded the scope of the current level. As for where the high point is, even he himself doesn't know.
But the only thing that is certain is that it is still no problem to be comparable to first-level adventurers. As for whether it can be comparable to Lv.6, or even Lv.7, he is not very clear.
Kicking a monster to death with one kick, Yami gradually lost interest.
Looking at the pocket watch he got from the world of Demon Slayer, it is not long before dawn, there is no need to stay any longer, so let's end today's trip temporarily.
The original pursuit of self-protection power seems to have been obtained now!
That being the case, it seems that he can slow down and enjoy his life!
"The next plan may be to improve my forging technology, and then find the ability to live forever from other worlds. After all, if he wants to pursue a Goddess, he needs to have a long life."
So, for a happy life in the future, let's work hard!
After killing the last monster, Yami took all the magic stones and he did not forget to pick all the herbs that he saw along the way, as gifts for Tamayo and Shinobu.
After doing all this, his whole body turned into a streamer again and disappeared into the dungeon.
In the following time, Yami can be said to be quite leisurely.
Without enough confidence to subdue or even kill Im before she chooses to die, Yami does not intend to start the real-life time travel simulation. If possible, he wants to accumulate enough great achievements first, and then go to the world of One Piece after upgrading.
After all, with the ability value he has accumulated now, he will definitely become stronger again after upgrading.
At that time, it will be easier to deal with the world of One Piece.
But before that, he still needs to train his few 'apprentices' first!
…
In the following days, Yami started the road of online learning with Shinobu, Ais, and Tiona.
In the morning, Shinobu did physical training and taught the two girls about the six styles.
In the afternoon, he will take everyone into the dungeon together for the rest of the training.
At the beginning, it was only on the thirteenth floor, but as the training progressed, they went deep into the sixteenth floor, that is, using Minotaur for training.
Shinobu was exhausted every day, and then recovered after a night of medicinal baths.
In this way, starting at 8:00 in the morning, leaving the dungeon at 5:00 in the evening, working from 8 to 5, with no rest time, it is completely harder than going to work.
Of course, this is only for Shinobu alone.
The two girls, Ais and Tiona, had already fully learned the six styles on the fifth day, and after that, they only needed to master them and apply them in actual combat.
The two girls expressed their most sincere gratitude, and they really sent a lot of precious materials needed to make the vitality recovery potion. Originally, Yoya Ubuyashiki planned to buy it with money.
However, under Ais's firm attitude, he still failed to give the money in the end.
Yami saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't force it.
Now that he has established a relationship with the Loki Familia, then just let it go.
Even though she has learned the six styles, Ais has no intention of leaving, and she doesn't know if it's the girl's innate intuition. She always feels that Yami has more powerful means.
Ever since, this cute girl has been pestering Yami every day, asking for advice on various fighting skills.
The latter didn't hide any secrets at all. After roughly understanding his own strength, he really regarded himself as the master of Ais and Tiona and began to teach them carefully.
Therefore, the four people who are keen on training gradually became famous among adventurers.
This is thanks to Ais and Tiona.
The two members of the Hephaestus Familia are obviously only Lv.1, but they hang out with the Loki Familia's "Sword Princess" and "Crusher" all day long, 'playing' against the Minotaurs.
It was just a rumor at first, but as time goes by, adventurers who often go deep or have entered the sixteenth floor will encounter the four of them, and rumors begin flowing above the dungeon.
The main reason is that this combination is too special, so it is easy to remember.
Then Yami got the title of 'Public Enemy', similarly, Shinobu also got the title of 'Masochist'.
To be honest, when the two of them heard this title, they were very conflicted.
Yami's "Public Enemy" is a little easier to think about. After all, there are three beautiful beauties around him every day. This kind of treatment almost makes most male adventurers envious and jealous, especially there is Ais who still has a face comparable to that of a fairy.
There is nothing wrong with having such a title.
But as a girl, Shinobu is called a 'masochist', which is very inappropriate.
Is it because she only dodge and take attacks without fighting back?
What kind of nonsense is this, these adventurers are idle all day long!
For this reason, Shinobu didn't even want to appear in the dungeon for a while. Fortunately, under Yami's gentle persuasion, she ignored other people's words and re-entered into special training.
As for those adventurers who like to talk badly, just let them go!
That is to say, in this kind of harsh training, Shinobu finally achieved the desired results.
