Chapter 112: Re-entering the Dungeon

Swoosh—!

Puchi—!

Luke and Ais each swung their swords, instantly killing the monsters that surrounded them.

After reporting to Finn, they gathered enough supplies for the two of them and went straight into the dungeon.

The monsters on the upper floors of the dungeon were now completely ignored by the two of them.

Killing monsters along the way made their progress very fast.

The two of them did not plan to take the magic stones and items dropped by the monsters on the previous floors.

This was also one of the shortcomings of their two-person team.

They couldn't carry too many items.

Right now, Luke and Ais, who had just entered the dungeon, were carrying the most supplies they could without affecting their movement.

The space they could leave for dropped materials was very limited.

So, the two of them generally wouldn't pick up dropped magic stones and items before the 18th floor.

Even in the large tree labyrinth area in the latter half of the middle floors, they would only pick up some high-value or relatively rare materials.

The real harvest would be after they officially entered the lower floors.

It was a pity to do this, after all, there was such a safe floor as the 18th floor in the middle floors.

Generally speaking, even if adventurers wanted to enter the next floor, they would not give up the items they had obtained on the previous floors.

Instead, they would bring them to Rivira Street on the 18th floor to deal with them.

However, it was slightly different for Luke and Ais.

The main reason was that the two of them didn't know how to bargain.

That's right, even after living in this city for three years, these two people would still be cheated when they went shopping.

And almost every time.

This had become a hot topic in Orario.

In fact, this did not mean that the two of them did not know that they were being cheated.

It was more like they did not want to waste time.

Luke and Ais were both the type of people who didn't care much about money.

In their eyes, it was better to kill two more monsters than to haggle.

So, the two of them never learned about the market price, and had no intention of wasting time haggling.

And the price of recycling items in Rivira Street was already much lower than that on the ground.

Luke and Ais, because they were unwilling to bargain and waste time, would further compress the sales price.

This way, the profit they gained was very little.

Since Luke and Ais were very fast at killing monsters.

Sometimes, picking up items was even slower than the speed at which they killed them.

After wasting a lot of time but not getting much profit, the two of them decided to stop picking up dropped items before the 18th floor.

…

As mentioned before, Luke and Ais advanced very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived on the 17th floor where the Floor Boss refreshed.

The refresh of the 'Lonely King of the Labyrinth', also known as the Monster Rex, has a certain interval.

Once it is defeated, it will not appear in the dungeon again until the next spawn time comes.

This interval is about three months.

Therefore, it is not always possible to see Goliath when you come to the 17th floor.

On the contrary, it is more common not to see it.

After all, behind it is Rivira Town. Sometimes, when there is a need to transport supplies to the surface, the Rivira Town will commission capable adventurers to clear out Goliath.

In addition, one of the conditions for the Adventurer's Guild to recognize a Familia's expedition as successful is to defeat the Floor Boss.

As the weakest Floor Boss, Goliath is actually quite popular.

It is unknown whether it should be considered good luck or bad luck, but the moment Luke and Ais arrived on the 17th floor, they saw the huge figure standing in the center of the cave.

"Let's not waste any time this time. I'll restrict its attacks, and then you kill it."

Luke looked at Ais and said.

Ais nodded, indicating that she understood. Then, she accelerated and rushed towards Goliath.

"Rooooooooor——!"

Ais, who did not hide at all, was immediately discovered by Goliath.

It roared, and its two huge palms slammed down on Ais with great force, like a meteor shower covering Ais's head.

Just when it seemed that Ais was about to be crushed into a pulp by the giant palm, two sword lights flashed, and Goliath's two giant palms that were slamming down suddenly stopped.

Shua——!

Puchi——!

Boom——!

Accompanying Ser-Veresta's sword light was the sound of Goliath's two severed arms.

Goliath's arms fell to the ground, making a loud bang.

The huge wound, the gushing blood, and the pain drove Goliath into a frenzy.

Roar!

The giant opened its mouth and tried to gather a sonic bullet to blast everything in front of it.

Unfortunately, Ais had already rushed to its front.

Staring quietly at the giant in front of her, Ais chanted: "Tempest!"

After a jump, Ais was lifted into the air by the wind that surrounded her.

The sword, wrapped in a wind, shattered Goliath's head in one blow.

Bang!

The roar stopped abruptly, and Goliath, with its head shattered, dissipated into black smoke in the air.

After easily defeating Goliath, Luke and Ais passed through the passage and arrived at Rivira Street on the 18th floor.

The two first went to find the manager of Rivira, Bors Elder, and asked him to send someone to collect Goliath's magic stone.

Luke and Ais alone would definitely not be able to handle the huge magic stone dropped by the floor boss, so they could only leave it to Bors.

Although doing so would lose a large part of the gain, it was better than throwing it away and wasting it.

After a short rest on Rivira Street, Luke and Ais prepared to set off again.

They did not plan to stay on the 18th floor for too long.

The two of them had broken through all the way here, and their stamina consumption had not even reached the point where they needed to rest.

The reason why they took a short break was mainly to check and maintain their weapons.

Luke was fine. With Prana protecting him and holding Ser-Veresta, he had almost no need to repair his weapon and equipment.

But Ais was different.

Her armor was fine. Because she had not been hit by a monster once, there was no need to repair her armor at all.

What's more, her armor was custom-made by Loki from Goibniu Familia, using Loki's hair and divine blood. It was not so easily damaged.

[Armor Dress: Loki Custom]

A pallum's armor dress that was customized by Loki.

The structure of the side abdomen was changed according to Ais' growth, and with the advice of a certain god, it became the shape it is today.

This armor will also change with Ais' body shape in the future, and it will become more and more revealing according to a certain god's will. Ais herself does not know this.

Because it is a modification of an existing armor, the price is much cheaper than a general custom-made armor.

The gauntlets and other parts of the silver-white metal plate are made of light metal and white wood, which guarantee lightness and durability at the same time.

This piece of armor will always follow Ais as long as there are no accidents.

Even when Ais upgrades to Lv5 and needs to wear first-class armor, this skirt armor can also be upgraded and modified.

One must say, as Ais grows older, Loki's attitude towards her has also begun to change significantly.

From the initial 'troublesome little loli' to 'little Ais' to now 'Ais-tan'.

From the change in Loki's way of addressing Ais, we can see the bad intentions of this goddess.

The modification of Ais's skirt armor is definitely not entirely out of good intention of strengthening her equipment and protecting her safety.

But no matter what, it is true that this armor has superior performance far beyond that of equipment of the same level.

So for Ais, the biggest problem in terms of maintenance is her weapon.
