"let me."
Roy stopped Mary from biting her finger. This thorny rabbit had soft white fur and a small horn on its forehead; it was a top-tier cutie, and the Ikelos Familia would sell it for a good price. He wouldn't really hurt it.
Roy could tell that the other party only had superficial injuries, and using mermaid blood was really too much.
"Noah heals!" Roy chanted.
As soon as the words were spoken, a vibrant, emerald-green light fell upon the Needle Rabbit, and as time passed, the wounds on its surface gradually healed.
The needle rabbit, its body healed, regained its spirits, and a human-like joy appeared on its face. It leaped up and hugged Roy's leg tightly.
Mary stared at the Needle Rabbit as if asserting her dominance, sparks flying between their gazes.
The two sides were locked in a fierce confrontation, neither willing to back down.
As heretics, they can go through fire and water for each other, but there are some things they cannot give up.
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first." Roy took out bread, roast meat, and other food from his spatial ring.
Roy moved a large rock and carved it into a stone table with his elven sword. He then placed a dozen or so delicacies on the table, making the two heretics drool.
"Yay!"
The heretic, who had never eaten food from the surface, immediately diverted their attention. The rich aroma fascinated them, and Mary and Needle Rabbit ate with gusto, their mouths greasy and their faces showing satisfied smiles.
Food stored in a spatial ring will have a much longer shelf life; even after several days, it will still look as freshly made.
In the dungeon, it was undoubtedly the ultimate enjoyment, and no one was willing to trade it for hundreds of thousands of falies.
Roy ate with the two heretics while pondering the next problem: he hadn't even dealt with the Freya Familia yet, and now he'd gotten into trouble with the Ikeros Familia.
He just killed most of the people, but it's impossible to clean them all up. The sentries in the passage must have escaped, and his exposure is inevitable.
"Roy....—"
When she saw Roy, she frowned. The simple-minded Mary realized something and looked at Roy with worry and guilt on her face.
"It's nothing, just a minor inconvenience."
Roy chuckled and patted Mary's head. He was just wondering whether he should nip the problem in the bud and wipe out the Ikeros Familia while he was at it.
He dared to confront the Freya Familia head-on, so why would he be afraid of a mere Ikeros Familia?
What he feared was the most powerful clan among the dark factions, the Thanatos (Death) Familia, and the Ikelos Familia might be colluding with it.
Both of them are based in man-made mazes.
It was precisely because of the artificial labyrinth, Daedalus, that Roy found it troublesome and couldn't get in; that place required a key—the Eye of Daedalus.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they parted ways.
Mary dived into the water; the water maze was large enough that hiding a monster would be easy.
If her compatriots hadn't been captured and used for coercion, Mary wouldn't have shown up at all.
The needle-pricked rabbit will be taken away by other heretics.
The two heretics watched Roy's departing figure with grateful eyes; he was the first human they had ever encountered who was willing to help them.
In Roy's mind, there is only the distinction between good and evil, and there is no difference between heretics and humans.
Not long after Roy left, the person who came to pick up the Needle Rabbit also arrived on this floor. His whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and he was like a ghost. It was none other than the "Sage" Fels, who had briefly met Roy before.
The bodies of the Ikeros Familia were almost completely devoured by the monsters, but some traces could still be vaguely seen.
After learning what had happened from Mary and Needle Rabbit, Fels said in a complicated tone, "Justice is sprouting. I never thought you would be the first person to accept a heretic."
Having eaten Roy before, he had a vivid memory of the boy. Afterwards, the boy rose to prominence like a supernova, at a speed that left people speechless.
Now they're entangled with heretics again. Is this fate? Fels thought to himself, the future of Orario is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Meanwhile, Roy returned to the eighteenth floor. On his way back, as expected, the dungeon's malice struck, with a large number of monsters emerging from each floor.
When Roy's stamina is exhausted, the dungeon will reveal its most ferocious fangs.
But this time, it was disappointed again.
Roy didn't use these monsters to hone his abilities; instead, he charged in with the Elven Holy Sword, unleashing the Blazing Sky, which burned away a large number of monsters in crimson flames.
The Elven Holy Sword attracts surrounding magical energy, which means it can unleash powerful magic without chanting and with a small amount of mental energy. Anyone who sees it would call it a monster.
Roy returned to the eighteenth floor. The three girls had already finished resting. The concept of an adventurer resting for one night is different from that of an ordinary person.
Only the low-ranking Maris still showed a hint of sleepiness, but she forced herself to stay awake.
The group successfully returned to the surface.
It was already the early morning of the second day after they entered the dungeon. They arrived at the guild headquarters to report to Eina and exchange the magic stone fragments for money.
Rushing to the eighteenth floor without permission inevitably resulted in a scolding from Eina. Even Roy was not spared. The angry half-elf girl's imposing manner even overwhelmed the high-level adventurer and guild master Royman. However, Eina also noticed that the originally arrogant Maris had become much more obedient and would humbly accept her advice. With this mindset, the chances of survival in the future would be greatly improved.
Eina exclaimed in amazement, "How did you do that?"
Dr. Luo has a miraculous healing touch!
Roy successfully completed his mission of testing Freya, helping Eina take care of the newcomers, and visiting Mary. He then returned to the Star Garden with the two girls.
Daphne and Cassandra went back to rest, for only at home could they truly relax.
Roy, on the other hand, is looking for a new instance.
Given his personality, once someone is identified as an enemy, he will definitely kill their entire family as soon as possible, but the artificial labyrinth of the Ikelos Familia is not easy to deal with.
So he only has one option left: improving his strength is the fundamental way to solve all problems!
However, this matter is not easy.
LV.3 is a mediocre position; zombies and other low-level monsters no longer offer him any rewards, and his strength doesn't allow him to hunt high-level monsters, so he can only watch the rewards go by.
In dungeon hunting, rewards are only given to targets whose level is similar to or even higher than his.
For example, after defeating the Centipede Demoness, I only got a pitiful 50 attribute points. If I were to target such a small fry, it would take several months.
And this is the price from just a few days ago!
Now that his stats have increased, the reward for killing weaker enemies has decreased accordingly.
Hunting high-level targets is even more difficult.
Does he think that if he tells someone, they will obediently stand still and let him hunt them down?
There's a possibility they could be defeated instead.
Fortunately, he can freely choose the dungeon, and has a lot of autonomy in this regard. It's impossible for a level 3 to pick a level 9 dungeon and go to his death.
