This is a very spacious underground space.
It is located deep in the underground city, far from the surface, in the deepest part of the 24th level. Its shape resembles a large cavern, dark and damp, letting a foul stench drift throughout.
In this stench, as if emanating from decaying at, a blood-red light flickered in a corner of the cavern, illuminating the figure of a woman.
She was a stunning woman with a voluptuous and alluring body, her limbs supple, clad in a wild outfit, and her red hair styled into a chic short cut.
The red-haired woman, despite possessing a seductive body that could arouse any male’s desire, had a pair of green eyes filled with a sharp, knife-like glint; her entire being exuded a chilling aura, akin to a ferocious beast donned in an enticing guise, enough to make those who saw her true nature shiver.
"Crunch..."
The seductive red-haired woman sat casually, sowhat indecorously, in the space illuminated by the red light, biting into a strangely colored fruit, chewing silently.
"Reveis."
Suddenly, a slightly neurotic voice rang out, causing the red-haired woman to halt her eating.
She lifted her green eyes, devoid of emotion, and looked towards the source of the voice.
There, a tall man appeared, dressed entirely in white, his head adorned with a helt made from a monster’s skull, obscuring his features; he carried no equipnt or weapons.
"What?"
The red-haired woman nad Reveis coldly gazed at her colleague in front.
The white-robed man, her colleague, paid no mind, staring at her knife-sharp, cold gaze, pointing to a corner.
In the direction pointed by the man, a wall covered in at had a pale water mbrane appear on its lunar-like surface.
On the water mbrane, a vivid scene was unfolding.
"Intruders have appeared."
As the man said, intruders had appeared.
The scene on the water mbrane showed the malignant at wall blocking the food storage passage being destroyed and burnt away in raging flas.
Led by a pair of youths, a group of less than twenty ard individuals entered the blocked passage through the blazing at wall, heading towards the food storage.
"These adventurers again?"
Reveis imdiately showed an annoyed expression, as if she saw cockroaches that couldn’t be killed or ants that couldn’t be swatted to death, her disdain evident on her face.
"I told you, didn’t I? If we don’t clear those monsters blocked outside the food storage, the adventurers on the surface will eventually notice the anomaly here and be drawn in." The white-robed man spoke to Reveis in a rather displeased tone: "But you wouldn’t listen; now see, the adventurers have indeed been attracted."
"So what?" Reveis didn’t reflect at all; instead, she coldly said to the man, "Are you afraid of re adventurers?"
"...Don’t underestimate those adventurers," the man said in a deep voice, "Although we are the chosen ones, ordinary adventurers are not worth our attention, but there are still those troubleso first-level adventurers on the surface. Their strength is different from those ant-like adventurers."
"Especially the Loki Clan and Freyja Clan, these two clans are our number one enemies."
"For the sake of ’Her’ dream, we should be cautious."
Upon hearing this, Reveis sneered disapprovingly.
"The chosen ones..."
She seed to scoff at this notion, yet said no more, speaking with little interest.
"So, among the intruders here, are there first-level adventurers from those two clans you’re so afraid of?"
Hearing this almost mocking remark, the man’s hand beneath his white robe clenched slightly, inhaled deeply, and spoke.
"I’ve been away from the surface for quite a while, so I can’t recognize everyone."
"But there is one person I do recognize."
"It’s that blonde-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman."
The white-robed man pointed to the girl among the leading pair on the water mbrane.
"The 『Sword Princess』 Ais Wallenstein, belonging to the Loki Clan; even when I was still on the surface, she was already known as a super genius in Orario. By now, she must be a first-level adventurer."
"I’ve heard she’s the strongest female swordswoman in present Orario, also a leader in the Loki Clan."
"Among the intruders, she is probably the most challenging opponent."
The white-robed man spoke thus, causing Reveis’s gaze to fall on the blonde-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman.
"The strongest female swordswoman?" Reveis murmured in a self-talking manner, "To think this little girl has beco the strongest female swordswoman, it seems Orario isn’t as challenging as I imagined."
"Then..."
Reveis shifted her gaze to the boy beside the girl.
"Who is he then?"
To fight alongside a first-level adventurer, leading together, he should also be a first-level adventurer, right?
"Not sure." The white-robed man glanced at the boy beside the blonde-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman, saying, "I don’t have any data about this person in my mory; he should be a newcor who erged in recent years?"
Clearly, the white-robed man wasn’t much concerned about the boy, instead focusing more on the blonde-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman.
"So just a small fry, huh?"
Reveis imdiately lost interest in the boy.
Until... the next second.
"Hmm?"
Reveis’s gaze, which was about to move away from the boy, suddenly halted.
"What’s wrong?"
The white-robed man was initially puzzled by this, then he looked toward the direction of the water mbrane.
With just one look, the pupils under the white bone helt of the white-robed man instantly shrank.
Because he saw it.
He saw the boy leading the group alongside a golden-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman in the tunnel within the flesh wall suddenly look up in this direction.
Yes.
He was looking this way.
As if he sensed soone secretly watching, or perhaps knowing full well of the two’s presence here, the boy coldly looked up, through the "eye" monitoring their movents, eting the gaze of the two present.
At this mont, as if there was no space between them, both sides were staring directly at each other, allowing their gazes to converge.
Then, the boy’s lips slightly curled, losing interest in Reveis and the white-robed man, he withdrew his gaze.
"......"
In an instant, a thought crossed both of their minds.
"We’ve been discovered."
The boy had definitely discovered their presence, knowing soone was watching him.
But he seed unfazed by this secret surveillance, or perhaps indifferent to it, continuing to move with the golden-haired, golden-eyed swordswoman, leading a group of adventurers towards the grain store.
Seeing this scene, the white-robed man was rendered speechless, while Reveis remained silent for a mont, then smirked coldly.
"Interesting."
With that, Reveis stood up.
"What are you planning to do?"
The white-robed man responded imdiately.
Reveis ignored the question, turning away.
"Leave this to you," Reveis said crisply and decisively, "I’m going to et that man."
"And what about the Sword Princess?" the white-robed man asked, "That Sword Princess should also be a rather tricky individual, aren’t you going to stop her?"
"It’s up to you, including those adventurers; go finish them," Reveis decided without hesitation, coldly saying, "If you feel you can’t handle it, go ask those fearless guys for help."
"In any case, don’t tell you can’t even complete such a trivial task."
With these words left behind, Reveis walked into the darkness, disappearing from view.
"Tch..."
The composed deanor of the white-robed man instantly vanished without a trace, as if he’d suddenly beco irritable, exposing the nerves in his voice completely.
"Damn female monster, still so headstrong, extrely capricious, I really don’t want to admit that such a person, like , was chosen by ’her’."
"If it wasn’t for her, the incident on the 30th floor wouldn’t have happened."
"In the end, pursued all the way to the 18th floor but didn’t bring anything back, only killed a trivial adventurer, what good is that?"
"As expected, it’s still up to ."
"Only I can fulfill ’her’ wishes."
With such self-talk, the white-robed man turned his gaze towards the source of the red light.
There, a quartz column stood tall in the center of the large cavern, emitting red light.
Within the red glow, a colorful Treasure Bead was attached to the quartz column, surrounded by enormous dark silhouettes coiling around the column.
The white-robed man gazed with infatuated eyes at what was inside the Treasure Bead, whispering to himself.
"I can’t leave here yet, to avoid any more accidents."
"Although it’s unpleasant, but just listen to her, let those fearless ones deal with those adventurers."
"As long as they shed their lives, they should be able to deal with everyone except the Sword Princess."
"As for the Sword Princess herself, let them handle it."
With the white-robed man’s words, the sound of sothing continuously writhing and the deep clattering roar of sothing appeared around him.
A series of ’plop-plop’ sounds, like so life falling to the ground, appeared in the large cavern, causing the towering dark silhouettes to fall from the ceiling, hitting the ground.
"Go."
"Go devour."
"Go nibble."
"Go fulfill your duty as tentacles, bring all those intruders back, and provide ’her’ with so nourishnt."
The white-robed man uttered fanatically, causing the shadows to slither out one after another, leaving the large cavern.
"Gurgle..."
On the quartz column, so movent arose from the Treasure Bead attached to it.
Inside, a pair of eyes rotated, eerie and gross.
