Chapter 361: Izay’s Familial Group Status! (Please Subscribe!)

Just like Loki and Finn, the venerable Uranus and Fels were equally curious about what lay on the fifty-ninth floor. But they couldn’t personally go to investigate.

So, to find out what was happening on the fifty-ninth floor, they had no choice but to ask Izay to carry Fels’ specially-made “Eye Crystals” during the expedition.

When the “Eye Crystals” were activated, they would be able to see everything Izay saw in real time.

Such a trivial task didn’t require even a wave of the hand, so Izay readily agreed.

Though he almost forgot about it earlier—resulting in Fels giving him a good shock.

This sage seemed inexplicably mischievous.

Even as a skeleton, why does he keep pestering me for free meals?

Izay replied with a huff to Fels and temporarily ignored the Eye Crystal’s movements.

“Lord Izay, were you just talking to someone?”

Haruhi, who accidentally glanced over, noticed Izay’s lip movements.

“Sort of. Chatting with an old relic who doesn’t understand elegance.”

“…?” Haruhi blinked in confusion.

Who is this old relic that doesn’t understand elegance?

On the other end of the Eye Crystal, upon hearing Izay’s response, Fels shook his black-hooded head restlessly.

Saying bad things about him right in front of him? Is this guy fearless or what?!

And what’s this nonsense about not understanding elegance?! He’s the grandmaster-level magician representing mystery!

The sage’s mindset shifted slightly.

Meanwhile, at the Central Square, Haruhi remained puzzled for a moment before losing her chance to inquire further.

Because before reaching the first Safe Floor, the expedition team had to split up, and Finn was already signaling Izay to come over.

As a typical rear-guard Magical Arts user, Haruhi naturally followed the main group, led by the ever-reliable Gress. Accompanying him were the blacksmiths led by Tsubaki.

Refia, having reached Level 4 this time, successfully joined the vanguard team, making the young girl ecstatic enough to want to jump around all the way.

“I’ve never seen anyone doing support work so enthusiastically~” Izay remarked while passing through the narrow upper level.

As soon as those words left his mouth, the little sprite’s cheerful mood deflated immediately, pouting awkwardly, “Do you have to keep picking on me, Izay?”

Why does he always ruin my happiness like this? How annoying!

Refia looked like a blowfish.

“But Refia…you really are that happy…”

At that moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ais suddenly spoke while walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Izay.

“Keh~!”

“Keh keh keh keh~!!”

It sounded like something turned to stone and then shattered instantly.

“Hah~! Refia, your expression is so amusing!”

“Indeed, it’s hard not to laugh…”

“Alright, stop bullying Refia both of you. It’s fine to use her as comic relief, but don’t overdo it.”

“How could even Lady Riviria…? Waaah…”

Currently, they were on the seventh Dungeon level, surrounded by pale green ceilings and walls, moving forward smoothly, lively as if they weren’t on an expedition at all.

But this situation didn’t last long.

The sound echoing from deep within the labyrinth suddenly made the vanguard team react.

“This noise? It’s the screams of adventurers!?”

“Not only that! There’s also a strong smell of blood!”

“It’s coming from ahead!”

Approaching along with the frantic escape attempts was a thick scent of blood.

The smell was so intense that even those without beastfolk’s heightened senses could perceive it clearly.

Realizing a sudden emergency might have occurred ahead, Finn quickly gave orders.

Although there’s an unwritten rule in the dungeon that one shouldn’t interfere with other teams,

in case of emergencies, this rule is disregarded.

Besides, when encountering injured comrades-in-arms who need help, everyone generally tries their best to lend a hand.

Within a few minutes, the group arrived at the junction between the seventh and eighth floors, where two adventurers with grievous wounds crawled out from the stairwell.

“Please…please save us…”

Seeing fellow adventurers, the elven adventurer dominated by the will to survive shakily extended his hands towards them.

Riviria’s gaze swept over the severe injuries on these two elves, and her eyebrows furrowed lightly.

“Alisia, get the Panacea…no, Izay, you handle it.”

Without using the Panacea, healing magic alone wouldn’t be enough to sustain the lives of these two kin.

Their injuries were that serious!

However, in the next instant, Riviria remembered that Izay possessed high-level healing magic, allowing them to save these two bottles of Panacea.

Each costing a small fortune.

“Alright, no problem.” Izay naturally understood the condition of these two elves, nodded lightly in agreement, and stepped forward.

In the rear support team, Alisia, who had already reached into her backpack to take out two bottles of Panacea, looked somewhat embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she sheepishly put the medicine back.

“…Excuse me, can you tell us more about the situation ahead?”

After Izay healed the elves’ wounds in a few swift moves, Finn approached them to gather information.

“Brave…brave ones!?”

Earlier, due to being near death, they hadn’t noticed who had healed them; now that their wounds were healed, the two elves nearly fainted from shock!

Several top adventurers of Orario stood before them, including that noble royal family member!!

The expressions of the two elves immediately became extremely respectful as they recounted every detail of what happened below the eighth floor.

“On the ninth floor, a Minotaur appeared and was rampaging everywhere! It attacks indiscriminately, killing anyone it sees, adventurers or monsters alike! We barely escaped from its clutches!”

And it was wielding an adventurer’s Great Sword! The other elf added.

“Not a natural weapon of the labyrinth!?” Finn asked.

“No! That’s definitely adventurer equipment!” The elf confirmed firmly.

“Minotaur? Could it be the ones we accidentally let loose last time?”

“Don’t overthink it, we killed all the ones we let loose last time. Tiona, do you not trust my Magic?”

“Not at all! Absolutely not! I swear!”

Upon meeting Izay’s eyes, Tiona instantly cowered.

The hierarchy of their familial group status was crystal clear.

After all, one must never offend their creditor~

“But since it’s the ninth floor, let me check it out? Finn, I’m fast, so I should be able to deal with it directly.” Izay said, looking at Finn.

That’s a lie~

He knew exactly what was going on and just wanted to witness the famous scene for entertainment.

As for whether贝尔can defeat the Minotaur or not, Izay had no doubts.

With divine equipment, rapid attack magic, combat techniques trained by Ryu·Lyon, and ultra-limited ability values.

Isn’t surpassing levels this easy?
