Chapter 393: True Warriors Dare to Face the Filial Heart (Please Subscribe!)

Elsewhere, thanks to the convenience of space magic, Izay successfully bypassed the almost three layers inside and out of the spirit defense wall outside the hot springs, appearing unnoticed in an uninhabited area of the forest.

“How does this feel strangely like cheating?!?”

Izay, while taking out a spare set of clothes from his personal space to change into, couldn’t help but mutter under his breath as he recalled the previous situation.

It’s not surprising that he thought too much about it; the previous situation had too many similarities with that kind of scene.

“But thinking about it this way, it’s actually a little exciting. Is this what they call the forbidden feeling?”

After getting dressed, Izay casually patted his newly worn “Seven Nights II” jacket and muttered.

“The Seven Nights Series,” Model II.

Because Izay was relatively satisfied with the custom design made by the wind fairy spirits, he decided to order another set. The color and style of the two “Seven Nights” sets were almost identical.

However, due to the limitation of rare materials, the performance of II was slightly lower than I, and the price was also cheaper, only eighty million Valis.

At the time, Izay’s idea was simply to buy another set to alternate wearing since he could only spend money on such things anyway.

He couldn’t find any other place to spend his money at other times.

The living expenses compared to his daily “patent” income didn’t even count as pocket change.

After mumbling to himself for a while on the spot… Izay then discovered a fact that could be called “not good.”

—That is, he might not be able to sleep now.

As soon as he calmed down, images of his teacher would involuntarily appear in his mind.

Her blushing face welcoming yet resisting, the elasticity revealed when covering her chest, the delicate and smooth belly button and abdomen, and the round and beautiful legs half submerged in water reflecting.

It was just too embarrassing!

“I must have been mentally attacked～!!”

Izay placed his elbows on his knees, crossed his hands in front of him, sat on a rock in the manner of Commander Ikari, and delivered a conclusion with absolute certainty.

However, after these words escaped his mouth, the divine favor imprinted on his back began to heat up as if protesting.

“Lunar Blessing”: You’re treating me like I don’t exist!?

Skill酱 felt her authority questioned!

At the same time, as the blessing spoke, DNA also had something to say.

DNA: A true warrior dares to confront the night and dares to face the filial heart!

Izay: Su、Soga! I’ve understood!

Izay suddenly realized that he had the potential to achieve great things.

After all, Lady Artemis had clearly stated that she didn’t mind him forming a harem!

Following the words of the little man in his DNA, Izay’s thoughts gradually grew bold…

However, just as he was preparing to delve deeper into these thoughts, an unexpected roar interrupted him.

“—Grrrrrrrrr!”

A giant roar reverberated like an earthquake.

Then came the rumbling vibrations.

Currently, Izay was deep within the Great Forest at the southern end of the 18th floor, very close to the passage leading to the 17th floor. The campsite was located at the edge of the Great Forest.

With Izay’s abilities, after keenly sensing the violent tremors, he quickly guessed the reason behind them.

“Has the floor boss ‘Goliath’ been born!?”

The last time ‘Goliath’ died was when the Loki Familia expedition team happened to defeat it on their way out.

After half a month, the Loki Familia expedition returned, and it should have come to its next rebirth.

“To meet the newly born ‘Goliath’ at this moment, it can’t be…”

Izay looked toward the direction of the cave leading to the 17th floor, suddenly thinking of something.

“Since I can’t sleep anyway, I might as well go take a look～”

Thinking about whether he would pick up a passed-out white-haired girl later, Izay moved through the trees toward the exit of the dark forest.

……

The closer he got to the passage connecting to the 17th floor, the louder the roars coming from the other side became.

In the vast cavern shaped like a rectangular prism, with deafening sounds of landing, a massive figure broke through the rock walls and revealed itself.

Amidst the flying dust, three small black shadows flickered.

They seemed to be emitting cries of anguish, but their shouts were completely drowned out by Goliath’s roars.

Just after being “born,” Goliath discovered tiny humans intruding on its territory.

It felt as if it woke up one day to find a few rats in its room, shamelessly mocking it.

Goliath immediately became furious, determined to crush these humans who dared to invade its domain!

“Grrrrrrrrr!!”

The giant began to move, trampling the ground and shaking the entire space, bringing immense pressure and killing intent.

Under its roars, the adventurers trying to cross this enormous cavern used every ounce of strength to sprint forward, despite their bodies being covered in wounds, they were pushing themselves to the limit.

Throwing fatigue, thought, and fear aside, they focused solely on reaching the passage connecting to the safe floor visible before them.

“——————!”

Suddenly, a strong gust swept through the cavern.

The giant chasing the adventurers raised its wrist high, ready to smash down like a huge hammer!

But something was faster than its attack!

With the reverse swirling wind, a flash streaked through the cavern.

An incredibly fast strike.

Even adventurers whose abilities had undergone “sublimation” couldn’t catch a glimpse of the afterimage.

They only received a fuzzy intuition akin to “something flew past,” then confirmed this judgment based on the wails behind them and the sound of someone falling.

Behind the three adventurers, a vivid crimson blood flower bloomed and faded instantly.

“Did we… get saved!?”

“Is it the aid of a powerful adventurer?”

The tattered little person race girl and the red-haired human male observed through their peripheral vision as Goliath fell.

The object that passed by them turned out to be a faintly glowing silver spear.

It pierced through Goliath’s body effortlessly, like breaking paper, disabling its arm while simultaneously smashing the far wall of the cavern with tremendous force.

“That weapon…”

The red-haired man among the three narrowed his eyes slightly; he had a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Unlike his two companions, the remaining white-haired girl did not care about what flew past but instead focused on the floor passage ahead. A familiar figure caught her eye.

“Don’t make so much noise, my teacher is bathing. If you disturb her, it’s your fault.”

(Riviria, who was enjoying a bath, inexplicably felt an itch in her nose and couldn’t help but sneeze.)

Izay appeared from the passage with a hint of amusement in his expression.

As if entering and exiting a door, he met face-to-face with the three adventurers who were mere meters away from the finish line.
