The first few floors of the dungeon were not crowded.
Perhaps it was because the adventurers were busy celebrating the return of their heroes.
"Sonar Detection."
In an instant, all the information about the surrounding life signs and environnt flooded into Sion's mind.
"Hm?"
Sion paused for a mont.
His sonar detection could perceive life signs, and within his perception range, there was a familiar aura.
"Is that... the Hera Familia?" Sion whispered.
Every deity grants the sa Falna, but each Familia shares a distinct, subtle aura. Therefore, Sion was able to analyze which Familia the other party belonged to by detecting these fluctuations.
In Sion's detection range, besides the monsters and other adventurers, a girl was following closely behind him.
The girl's aura was identical to that of teria.
No murderous intent, more like curiosity... and protection? Sion understood.
It was highly likely that teria had asked a mber of her familia to protect him. Sion's lips curled up slightly into a smile at the thought.
He was not angry.. after all, he wasn't a chauvinist. Moreover, if he really had such a fragile ego, he'd not have made it this far, considering he had survived his absolute weakest period by relying on a woman.
teria had not told Sion about this..not out of disrespect or distrust, but because she was afraid of hurting his pride.
So, she had asked her familia to protect him in secret. teria would have felt too uneasy if she did nothing.
Even if it was just to give teria peace of mind, Sion gladly accepted it. In tis like these, he should feel ward, not angry.
Truthfully, he was quite nervous.
While facing monsters head-on might be manageable, a sneak attack from them could easily kill him. But what was even more terrifying than monsters were people. If he encountered a high level adventurer with malicious intent, it would truly be GA OVER.
In the dungeon, the one thing that was never lacking was the unexpected. Therefore, having a safety net was a good thing.
Having thought this through, Sion cald down.
At that mont, a group of monsters appeared in front of him.
They were the weakest monsters: three Goblins and two Kobolds.
Goblins were dark green monsters with an extrely ferocious appearance. Kobolds were weird monsters that used their sharp claws and teeth as weapons. Like the Goblins, they were among the weakest monsters.
If a true rookie encountered this group of monsters all at once, their only option would be to run away imdiately. To encounter such a group on his very first ti demonstrated the dungeon's sheer hostility toward adventurers.
After all, to it, adventurers were nothing more than invaders.
"Magic Bullet."
Two magic bullets were launched in an instant, and the heads of two Goblins were blown clean off.
His spellcasting speed was incredibly fast. He had killed two Goblins with just a thought.
The power was a bit too high. Reducing it to one tenth should be just enough to penetrate the target's brain.
With this in mind, Sion condensed another bullet.
In an instant, a bloody hole appeared in their heads.
"I need to conserve my Mind."
Sion watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.
In truth, an attack of this magnitude, if not used continuously on a massive scale, consud less Mind than his natural regeneration rate.
The remaining Kobold was dealt with using Shockwave. The invisible blast blew the monster away, the sheer force rupturing its internal organs. It struggled on the ground for a few monts before dying on the spot.
Only one green Goblin remained. It stopped its charge and looked around, seemingly at a loss regarding the sudden turn of events.
"Let us have a fair and just duel."
Looking at the now isolated Goblin, Sion smiled and drew his sword.
"Gyaaaah!"
Even after losing its companions, the Goblin only shrank back slightly before charging forward with its claws outstretched.
Although they possessed the characteristics of living beings, ordinary monsters lack intelligence that ans they would not run away.
Instead, they would charge forward.
Though it could be defeated even by Sion's current physical capabilities.
Capitalizing on the weapon's reach, a single, forceful swing was enough to decapitate the monster.
When the Goblin's head separated from its body. Sion's mind relaxed slightly.
He finally felt the thrill and satisfaction brought by wielding a weapon in close combat.
"Sonar Detection."
After releasing another pulse to confirm that there were no monsters around, Sion picked up the magic stones that had dropped to the ground.
They were only the size of fingernails.
Calling them magic stones felt like a bit of an exaggeration.
