Riveria sighed, then shifted her attention back to Ais.
"You're far too reckless."
If Ais had collapsed before Udaeus on the 37th floor, she would have undoubtedly died.
In the end, it was only thanks to a slight edge in explosive power that she managed to take one step ahead. Simply put, surviving came down to sheer luck.
Sometimes, things really are just that unreasonable—it's only because of a bit of luck that you're given the chance to move forward.

A figure dashed frantically through the dungeon, holding a girl covered in blood.
A closer look revealed the girl was drenched in blood, her right arm missing. Her legs were wrapped in gauze, but it was still clear—they’d been severed.
For an adventurer, this was almost a death sentence.
The most dreaded issue in the Dungeon was losing limbs.
Death was swift, but losing an arm or leg meant a lifetime of suffering.
Without their limbs, adventurers could no lon...

"Xenos... I didn’t expect it to turn out like this."
Finn remained stunned for quite a while before finally coming back to his senses. At the same time, he understood why Loki had let out a sigh of relief when Ais wasn’t around.
“Loki, even I didn’t catch on to what was going on with the Xenos right away. Do you think Ais would accept this?”
“Mm... I really don’t know.”
Loki scratched her head in frustration. She was clearly at a loss over how to handle...

“The enemy is a Spirit—and its main body is a confirmed Lv.8. The mission Hashana intercepted involved stealing a fetus, which turned out to be a clone-like offshoot produced by the Spirit. The maximum level of these clones caps at Lv.7. And apparently, the Spirit can produce them in large quantities?”
From Loki’s explanation, Finn fully grasped just how dangerous the enemies they were facing truly were. Frankly speaking, if the Spirit’s main body ever decided to launch a full...

At this moment, Loki Familia was welcoming Finn and the other three back from the Dungeon.
“Ais... huh?”
Loki had just leapt forward but didn’t see the person she wanted to tackle, and her excitement instantly deflated.
“Loki, we’re back.”
Finn smiled out of habit. Seeing Loki like this gave him a familiar sense of homecoming.
“Oh! Welcome back.”
Loki quickly masked her disappointment and let out a quiet sigh of relief.

“Do children raised by Zeus really possess such potential?”
Ganesha still believed what Hermes had said. Although that old neutral god was often unreliable, he used “Silence” as a comparison and pointed out their familial connection. In that light, inheriting the “Incarnation of Talent” from his aunt didn’t seem far-fetched at all.
“Ouranos, was that request also completed by the child raised by Zeus?”
“That’s right.”
Hearing the answer, Ganesha...

While the Hestia Familia was busy putting on a romantic comedy in the morning, things at the Guild were far from peaceful.
At dawn, Loki, Ganesha, and Hermes were summoned to the Guild to meet with Ouranos-sama.
The one who made this decision was Ouranos himself.
It wasn’t that he wanted Loki and Hermes to get directly involved in their covert operations, but the information Hermes delivered yesterday was too shocking—it practically exposed their plans, operations, and e...

When he woke again, it was already morning.
His head was resting on something soft, and something equally soft was pressing down on his body, making Bell tense up instantly.
Opening his eyes for a quick glance, he let out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it wasn’t anything too inappropriate.
He was just resting his head on Hephaestus-sama’s thigh, with her sleeping on top of him.
Bell carefully sat up, gently supporting Hephaestus-sama. As he exhaled, he turned ...

"Well, we'll be going now."
With business wrapped up, Hermes didn’t linger—he had a delivery to make.
He also needed to report Bell’s findings to Ouranos as soon as possible.
Even Loki didn’t stick around. After everything that had come to light today, she needed a quiet place to sort it all out. Otherwise, the chaos would just keep piling up.
Once both gods had left, Bell finally let himself relax.

Bell retrieved the woman's severed arm from four-dimensional space.
"This is the severed arm of the woman who beat the 'Sword Princess' to a pulp. I only managed to cut it off with a sneak attack and a few trump cards."
Just thinking about how his Lightning and Accumulate Power techniques had been fully exposed made Bell realize how difficult it was to challenge someone across levels. If he hadn't possess...

Spirit!
The moment that name came out, the expressions of all four gods changed completely.
The enemy’s true form was actually a Spirit—beings known as “the closest to the gods,” often called “the children most beloved by the gods,” or even “avatars of the gods.”
Even if the effects of the Falna had diminished their power, Spirits were still among the most powerful races in the world.
And now, that race stood on the opposite side of gods and humans.

There was even more shocking news.
He had suggested the idea of destroying half of Orario—and didn’t object to the thought of wiping it out completely. From that alone, both Hermes and Loki understood Bell’s underlying meaning.
‘I don’t care whether Orario lives or dies.’
Maybe he hadn’t said it outright.
But saying it outright wouldn’t have made much difference anyway.
“Kid, if Orario gets shaken up that badly, do you think this place will stil...

"They also believe that monsters possessing rational thought comparable to ordinary humans should be considered part of the demi-human category. Otherwise, how else could the Ganesha Familia have known the Guild’s secret so early on?"
Hermes and Loki both fell silent for a moment. Their eyes locked onto Bell, clearly waiting for an explanation.
It seemed neither of them had known.

"As for why I believe Evilus and the third force in the Dungeon are in a mutually beneficial relationship, I’d say the biggest reason is 'aligned interests.'"
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least until that enemy is wiped out, the enemy of my enemy is the most trustworthy ally.”
"It's not a complicated reason—just a simple case of aligned interests."
Asfi understood clearly and grasped why Bell came to that conclusion, but she raised another question.

Three days had passed since the incident in the City of Rivira, and only then did Bell return to Orario from the Dungeon.
As soon as he left the Dungeon, he rushed straight back.
When no one was watching, Bell quietly returned to the Hestia Familia.
But once he entered the Great Barrier, he noticed two unfamiliar gods and two adventurers.
'Besides Hermes-sama, even Loki-sama is here?'
Realizing this, Bell quickly headed into the Great Tree House.

A roaring Minotaur charged at Bell, flailing wildly.
Slash!
With a flash of his blade, the two-meter-tall beast was cleaved cleanly from head to toe, blood splattering across the ground.
Bell silently drew a conclusion.
'The frenzy effect is lacking.'
'Monsters in a frenzy tend to act more recklessly. The state lasts too long and completely removes any control over their behavior.'
After several experiments, Bell abandoned the idea of induc...

Bell didn’t choose to leave the City of Rivira immediately.
At this stage, he wasn’t supposed to be watching the show or helping others with their problems—he should’ve been finding a place in Rivira to establish a stable base for himself.
So after departing, Bell selected a spot within the green crystal clusters along the city’s edge—technically part of the 18th floor’s wall.
Using Runes, he carved out a cavity in the crystal, then accelerated the growth of a ...

"Ais..."
Lefiya looked at Ais, who had fainted, filled with worry.
Since joining the Loki Familia, this was the first time she had seen Ais lose so badly.
Even though she had an Elixir with her, she couldn’t just feed it to Ais. If she did, her broken arm might heal incorrectly and end up deformed.
She had to stabilize the fracture before using the Elixir.
For now, all she could do was lay Ais down flat and wait for the right moment to secure her broken arm.

The woman clutched her nearly severed neck with her left hand, cold sweat streaming down her face.
That brush with death—she had never experienced anything like it before.
Her right arm had been completely severed by that strike, and even the severed limb had vanished without a trace.
She turned to see that the mountain of green crystal clusters had been sliced cleanly at the peak.
“So much destruction from just the aftershock.”
“Was it magic? Or a skill?...

Through the swirling dust, a figure slowly came into view.

Finn carefully examined the corpse.
The neck had been twisted with such tremendous force that even under the fingernails, there wasn't a trace of the attacker’s skin tissue.
This meant the killer's skin was incredibly tough—so tough that even a dying Level 4 adventurer couldn’t leave the slightest scratch.
Judging by the condition of the room, the victim had likely been killed in one swift move—there wasn't even a sign of a struggle.

The gruesome scene inside came into view at once.
Lying on the floor was a man’s corpse, dressed only in his underwear. Half of his head had been crushed, the fragments scattered across the ground.
On the bed sat a man—Villy, the owner of Villy Inn.
He sat with a troubled expression, lost in thought.
