"Huh? Why are you guys looking at funny?"
◇ ◇ ◇
A few seconds later, Evan was crouching on the ground while holding his sore forehead, the reason the two looked at him 'funny' being apparent with the slight bump on his head.
"...teaming up against is not fair."
"Haah?!"
"...nothing."
Eliza's tid glare shut the young hero up as he turned his gaze upwards, only to realise sothing and hurriedly look back down.
"Um...Miss child of life, can you kindly put your leg down?"
Hearing Evan's words, Eliza looked at her leg and realized she still had Evan cornered to the wall, placing her leg down and pulling her staff out of the wall the mont after.
anwhile, in Evan's head, he was struggling to the sight he saw earlier out of his mind.
'I looked up and all I could see was white...'
It took the young hero a few more seconds to snap out of his daze and act natural so as to prevent the Radiant Codex from being tossed at his head once more.
"Alright guys, let's eat and rest here for the night and then continued dungeon diving tomorrow. The goal is to arrive at the tenth floor by the end of the week, so we can challenge one of the floor bosses before next week."
"Is it gonna be that easy?"
Eliza narrowed her gaze at Evan sceptically as she asked, but the young hero only replied with a smug grin.
"It's gonna be a walk in the park."

Year 1051
"It really was a walk in the park."
Eliza's voice rang out as she blankly stared at the boss room door in front of her.
An ominous tal door blocked her path forward. ssages in strange languages were all over it in green, sohow untouched by ti and the elents.
Taking a step closer, she attempted to inspect it, only to hear a loud bang in the distance from which she ca.
She turned around and was t with the scene of Evan pumlling an unfortunate blade wraith that was no weaker than Elecrus to death with his fists.
**BZZTT!
Lightning crackled around his fists as he seed to be hell-bent on recreating so sort of skill he had probably seen elsewhere to no avail.
'Wasn't his power the ability to copy skills he sees? Why didn't he just copy it?'
Of course, Eliza did not know that Evan had seen said skill before he gained his mystic eyes and the original owner of the skill wasn't on the sa continent so Evan could not go et him even if he wanted to.
**BAMM!!
The loud noise shook her out of her thoughts, her eyes looking up to see Evan stretching his arms as he would after a quick workout.
"Hmm?"
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Evan turned in her direction and gave her a small smile, one which she felt her face heating up at the sight of.
'Hold your horses girl! He's y-'
Eliza was about to sink into her thoughts once more when Evan's face suddenly filled her vision.
"What's wrong? You're spacing out."
"...n-nothing!"
The blonde teenager pushed his face away from her while muttering sothing about being too close.
She then noticed that Evan's arms seed to have burns on them, ones he sustained from battling the now deceased blade wraith on the ground.
Eliza decided to take advantage of this chance to test out sothing she had noticed in the past week.
"Hey Evan, gim your hand."
"Huh? Okay."
Grabbing one of the young hero's arms, she activated her breath of life skill, eliciting a comnt from Evan about how that was unnecessary for such minor wounds but she ignored his words.
'As I thought, it's back to normal.'
She didn't heal the wounds on his other arm, instead choosing to wait for a few more minutes until footsteps resounded in the distance, indicating that soone was coming closer.
Imdiately, Eliza was hit with a sudden wave of familiarity for whoever was walking toward them, choosing this ti to activate her skill on Evan's other arm.
Before she could even complete the activation process, the burns instantly disappeared, returning Evan's fair skin to its original state.
"...just what are you up to, Liz?"
Evan called out to her but the battle priestess had sunk into her sea of thoughts, trying to understand exactly what was causing the current phenonon.
Said phenonon was her skill's increased power whenever Pride and Amy were present.
She looked up to see the incoming figure of the high demon flicking the blood off her sword as her recently contracted fla spirit sat on her head and played with her hair.
'And it's just my 'Breath of Life' skill. Oh well, I'd ask Evan later, he seems to know more about my skills than I do.'
Deciding to push the matter to a later ti, she took a quick peek at her status and couldn't help but heave a sigh of exasperation.
'They really did power level over 100 in a week...'
Looking at her level sitting at 106, the young battle priestess rembered how Evan and Pride pretty much brutalized everything from the third to eighth floors due to the level difference between them.
By the ti they arrived at the ninth floor where opponents of Leviron and Elecrus' level could be seen commonly, the duo had already levelled up higher than that so they were able to easily breeze through the ninth floor in just three days.
The only reason it took them two extra days was that they were trying to hunt more monsters and ended up getting lost in the process when they had chased a swarm of blade wraiths that took to their heels upon spotting them.
'The poor monsters were scared.'
After murdering the unfortunate monsters, Evan sat Eliza down and poured out all the magic stones from the monsters they had killed since the first floor and spent the next half day, instructing her on how to absorb the energy within the stones and increase her existence level.
