The eighteenth floor of the underground city.
After some rest, the Loki family members stationed here for a night gathered. The team that seemed a little lazy became ready instantly.
The leader, a blond Pallum, was directing all the members.
The short blond hair was very conspicuous under the light. Although his appearance was of a young boy, the consequences would be very serious if you underestimated him.
"Ah! I can finally rest for a few days. By the way, do we really have to stay so long to level this time? Although there are special supporters from the family to provide supplies and craftsmen from the Hephaestus familia to provide repairs, we stay here every day. Inside the dungeon, it is really boring!"
Looking at the passage leading to the seventeenth floor, Tiona sighed expectantly with her hands on her hips.
Even though this was not a group expedition of the family members, it was also very hard during the period. They faced the "Monster wave" several times. Fortunately, Finn and Riveria were in the team, plus many Lv.5 adventurers saved the day with tacit cooperation.
It was a rare rest. With everyone's agreement, they returned to the eighteenth floor. They planned to rest well for a day or two before entering the deep-level area to train again.
After going back this time, they will definitely experience a considerable improvement.
"Tiona, don't complain. As an adventurer, isn't it part of our duty to explore dungeons?"
Tione looked at her very homesick and mischievous younger sister. She couldn't help but reprimand her by hitting her on the head.
Although Tiona was slightly dissatisfied with being knocked on the head, she could only pat her head and mutter: "But it's the truth, and you won't allow me to even talk about it?"
"By the way, Ais, do you miss Orario's life, such as food?"
Tiona, bored at her sister's response, could only change her target. She ran behind Ais and wrapped her hands around her, and asked softly in the other party's ear.
This question stunned Ais, who was expressionless and seemed to think of some kind of food in her mind.
But soon, this longing was again overwhelmed by another emotion.
"No, I still want to continue fighting. I want to become stronger!"
The girl's voice didn't contain any emotion, but it could make people hear the firmness hidden in it, which made Tiona, who was a little out of interest, feel very wrong immediately.
She seemed to have forgotten that the girl before her was dedicated to only one goal in her life.
"No, Ais, we have been fighting intensively for several days and must rest for a while. We will not return to the ground immediately, so you don't have to worry that you can't fight, but at least in these few days, you must have a good rest, do you understand?"
A serious voice sounded suddenly, and Riveria appeared behind them at some point.
The stern words made Tiona, who was a little jumpy just now, shrink herself.
Ais slowly raised her head as if she had understood Riveria's message and could only nod slightly: "Understood, Riveria."
"It's good that you know. To prevent you from messing around, I will keep an eye on you during this time."
"Riveria is so strict."
"It is necessary to be strict with you. Hurry up and rest!"
After the words fell, Riveria turned and left.
However, the lingering strictness she left behind remained, which made Aisi, who had become active because of Tiona's words, suddenly sigh.
She couldn't continue to fight. So she completely lost her motivation!
…
"Moo!!!"
There was a deafening roar.
Yami and Tsubaki have arrived at the fifteenth floor of the dungeon. In addition to the needle rabbits, hellhounds, and hard armored, a new monster had appeared here. The whole body was full of muscles. It was a Minotaur.
It was an extremely powerful monster, not only powerful but also had amazing defense.
Thick fur wrapped around the Minotaur's body, and weak adventurers couldn't break through its defenses. Even if you left scars on it, you couldn't restrict the Minotaur's movement, as the pain would stimulate Its ferocity even more.
The Minotaur could be regarded as the top elite monster on the middle floors.
One-on-one, it was also difficult for Lv.2 adventurers of the same level to win.
Of course, this was not absolute.
What Yami was facing now was a lone Minotaur.
When they found this huge and strong monster, Tsubaki chose to distance herself as always, and she wanted to see if Yami could handle it by himself.
After seeing Tsubaki's strength, Yami, who felt a sense of urgency again, naturally agreed without hesitation.
He wanted to become stronger quickly, and the Minotaur in front of him was a good training object.
This big guy was difficult to deal with for him now. But if he could defeat the Minotaur in front of him. In that case, he would definitely be able to accumulate enough stats and falna required for upgrading.
The premise was that Yami could defeat the Minotaur in front of him with his own hands!
