Finding two mysterious people in a vast underground city is like finding a needle in a haystack.
“Let’s rest for a couple of days,” Riveria suggested. “Those two 310s just did something remarkable; they probably won’t reappear all at once.”
"We'll make plans after the 'Monster Festival' is over."
Seeing Ais's utter dejection, the gentle and wise madam said she didn't know what to say.
The child's mind was already consumed by the thought of becoming stronger.
Losing track of the Flamethrower meant losing her direction.
Riveria had no choice but to ask the other young girls to accompany Ais shopping to cheer her up.
Hopefully, their getting together will cheer up the stubborn girl.
……
the other side.
Eugene's villa.
"Well……"
Aisha opened her eyes, and what came into view was Lina.
The two women exchanged a glance, and both blushed simultaneously.
This is utterly absurd.
Amazons are a free-spirited race, and once they fall for a man, they will exhibit a strong possessiveness.
Aisha couldn't deny that she had developed feelings for Eugene.
In every way, I'm happy to be with him.
But last night, they...
"Hehe, I don't mind at all~ if it's Aisha."
Lina snuggled closer under the covers, their smooth bodies pressed together.
Aisha sighed. This girl had been with her ever since she joined the clan.
Do we even have to choose a man these days?
"Ah, the two ladies are awake?"
Eugene, dressed in loose pajamas, appeared at the door, followed by a pretty maid pushing a food cart.
He walked to the bedside, brushed Aisha's messy hair aside, and then lowered his head.
"Hmm..." The latter stretched her neck, revealing a beautiful curve.
For a long time, the lips are divided.
“You rascal…” Aisha stared at Eugene’s face, a helpless yet satisfied smile playing on her lips.
"Ah! Master, that's not fair! I want some too!"
Lina screamed and pounced on him, and the three of them fell together again.
After making a fuss for a while, they ate their breakfast, which was close to noon, in bed.
For the past two days, Chloe and Noru have been staying with Lily, while Ryu has returned to her bountiful mistress.
Eugene has fewer female companions now, but he's had more in-depth conversations with them.
During the day, he enjoys pleasant discussions about life with Lina and Aisha, and at night he goes to Haruhime's place for tender moments.
Wow, this is a really good life.
The endless plundering magic made Eugene's stamina inexhaustible.
He felt like he was drowning in this blissful life.
"By the way, when are you going to rescue Chunji?"
Aisha couldn't forget the little girl who was imprisoned.
He felt particularly apologetic after being pushed down by Eugene.
"It'll be soon, don't worry."
"I want Haruhime to be free sooner than you do."
Haruhime's power is far too important.
He also wanted to face Ishtar head-on as soon as possible.
However, having too many things on your plate is not a good idea.
Ganesha and his group hadn't given up their investigation yet, and now he'd provoked the Loki Familia. If he dragged the Ishtar Familia into it too, the trouble would be overwhelming.
No rush, there's still time. We can solve them one by one.
Once Chun-hime is rescued, won't it be like every day...?
Eugene, dreaming of a happy future, wore a sly smile.
Aisha looked at this shameless fellow with disgust.
"Oh right, the Monster Festival is coming up soon, wanna go watch it together?"
Lina immediately nodded excitedly at Eugene's invitation.
The Monster Festival is a large-scale festival organized by the guild and performed by the Ganesha Familia.
In Orario's largest arena, tamers will release monsters captured alive from the dungeons and demonstrate in front of everyone how to tame them.
This sport is far more exciting than bullfighting in my previous life, and it can also reduce the citizens' fear of the underground city to some extent.
After all, Orario is, in a sense, a city built on a volcano.
However, you can't judge a book by its cover.
The monster festival, which is led by the guild, is not just about collecting admission fees.
Previously, we have repeatedly pointed out the species of "heretics".
They possess high intelligence, are capable of learning and communicating, and desire to stick together for mutual support.
Their existence was unknown to anyone except the Icarus Familia.
For all those who remain who know this are God.
About fifteen years ago, the great god Uranus discovered the first heretic in the underground city, the lizardman "Reed".
Since then, he has sent his deputy, a highly skilled archmage named Fels, to secretly assist these strange monsters.
Over the course of fifteen years, they gathered about forty heretics, forming a large family and finding refuge in the perilous underground city.
After years of development, the heretics have grown into a force.
Among them are three level 5 individuals, and even a goblin has reached level 4.
If it weren't for Dix's relentless hunting, the number would have been even greater.
As the heretics grew up, they gradually developed a desire to go and see the surface of the earth.
Some even yearn to live under the blue sky and sunshine.
This means that they must live with humans.
Uranus heard their wishes and, with a long-term perspective, held the Monster Festival.
The underlying purpose is to subtly increase people's acceptance of those who are unorthodox or deviant.
But as for the actual effect... well...
Monsters are monsters, and humans are humans.
Even nations fight wars, let alone hostile species.
The only way to gain the opportunity to negotiate is to have sufficient military force.
With just a few level 5s, the heretics cannot possibly gain the right to true freedom.
Even if someone can agree, can the goodwill others show you be the same as the equality you fight for yourself?
They can give you something, but they can also take it away from you at any time!
Eugene needs the power of those monsters to expand his influence in the dungeons.
However, he is only level 2 now. Although he can unleash the output of level 5, he is still only level 2!
Furthermore, the heretics' base is located on the 20th floor.
Although it's very close, Eugene hasn't been there yet.
These past two days, Niu Niu has been busy making the final summary for the middle and upper levels, while also having to avoid the Loki Familia's investigation.
Don't let Eugene's relaxed lifestyle fool you; Niu Niu is quite busy (in a double sense)!
87-year-old man, you're playing with fire!
That night.
Inside the Far East Pavilion.
Enjoying Chunji's ear-cleaning service, Eugene's quietly closed eyes suddenly opened.
[Ding! You have stacked a spell to one hundred layers!]
Unlock the new achievement "Quantitative Change" and receive an Advanced Gift Pack*1! Lottery Tickets*10!
On the system panel, in Eugene's magic bar...
The suffix for "Breath of Flames" is a C!
The Roman numeral C represents one hundred!
A full one hundred layers of reinforcement!
By grinding monsters, Eugene managed to stack a minor skill to the level of an ultimate skill.
Now he was certain that the power of his fire breath even surpassed that of a giant's breath!
[You have completed a high level of skill accumulation for a spell, meeting the requirements for a qualitative leap forward.]
