When Leon and the others started their journey, his thought projection had already set out.
And in just a few hours, it found Belle and the others.
However, Leon did not tell the thought projection appear in front of Belle and the others, instead letting it keep hiding and paying attention to them.
Only when they are in danger will he secretly help.
Moreover, this time, Leon also asked Ryuu for help.
Ryuu agreed to Leon's call without hesitation and followed along.
The relationship between Belle and Ryuu is very good, partly thanks to Syr.
After hearing that Belle was in trouble, Ryuu expressed her desire to help and went to the dungeon to find Belle.
As soon as the group entered the dungeon, they went straight to the middle floors.
On the other side, in the 16th floor, Belle and the others chose to move towards the 18th floor as in the original story.
Leon transferred half of his strength to his thought projection and using dark magic, his thought projection hid in the shadows, trailing behind Belle and the others.
However, when Belle and the others ran out of supplies, his thought projection dropped the prepared supplies on the road that they would pass through.
Although he wanted Hermes to make trouble and Belle to get stronger, this didn't mean that Leon would sit idly by and let Belle and the others arrive at the 18th floor in despair.
Belle was recommended to Hestia by himself, and Lily had been sticking to him during this time, so Leon naturally would not let the two fall into crisis.
As for Welf? He's their friend.
Just when Belle and the others were in despair due to their lack of supplies, they saw a bag full of supplies in the passage.
"Belle, is Lily hallucinating?"
"Lily seemed to see a bag of supplies in front of her."
Looking at the pile of bottles and jars in front of her, Lily murmured in a low voice.
Belle did not answer, staring ahead and said, "Welf?"
"My eyes are fine, those things ahead seem to be potions and food!!" Welf gulped and said.
"That is to say!"
Hearing Welf's words, Lily and Belle's eyes suddenly lit up.
The next second, they rushed ahead at the same time. Even Welf, who had a leg injury, limped forward.
"Saved!!!"
Bang... Bang... Bang...
"Saved!!"
Welf pounded his chest because he had eaten too much too fast.
After the food finally passed down his throat, he exhaled heavily.
"This is great."
"I don't know which adventurer accidentally dropped it, but it solved the urgent problem."
Belle was also eating heartily without any care for her image, and said gratefully while eating.
Only Lily had deep doubts in her heart even though she was also eating heartily.
When she had seen the food and potions just now, Lily was overwhelmed by joy, so she didn't think much of this. But now that she had calmed down, Lily went in thought.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Who throws supplies so neatly?
In the middle of the passage?
And the bag was even specially opened, as if someone was afraid that they wouldn't know that there were food and potions inside.
However, although she was confused, Lily couldn't figure out anything. She just kept scanning around with her eyes.
Leon, who was hiding in the dark, also saw through Lily's thoughts.
As expected of the brains of this team!
Belle and Welf didn't even care to think. Only Lily noticed that something was wrong.
Soon, they finished eating and drank the potions to restore their injuries.
"Do you want to continue going down?"
Looking at the dark passage, Welf turned to Lily and Belle and asked.
"Go on! We have already come here."
"Besides, there are not many potions, they are not enough to support us on our way back."
"Let's go to the eighteenth floor first. Then, we can go back to the surface together with a team that is also on their way back."
Lily shook her head, then looked at the small bag and said.
They had just gotten a lot of things, but not many potions.
It would be better to go to the 18th floor, team up with adventurers from other familias to go to the surface.
"Well, let's do it according to Lily." Belle had no objection to this.
"Okay, let's do it." Welf naturally had no objection.
Then they started to move again, holding the map to find the entrance to the 17th floor.
Leon's thought projection followed closely behind.
Because of his support, this time, the trio's journey was not as difficult as in the original story.
In the original timeline, Lily and Welf couldn't even move. Bell had to carry them and almost couldn't pass through the Wall of Sighs.
This time, the three worked together with Belle acting as the main force, and Welf and Lily assisting on the side. Their journey was very smooth with nothing special happening.
The abnormal events in the dungeon seemed to have ended after the three had recovered.
This was normal. Before, the dungeon was targeting them because they were exhausted. Now, the dungeon felt that there was no longer an opportunity, so it gave up.
Leon's thought projection followed the three leisurely, watching them enter the passage leading to the eighteenth floor under the pursuit of the Goliath.
"Goliath, it's been a long time since we last met."
Standing in front of the Wall of Sighs, Leon's thought projection looked at the Goliath's huge body, smiled faintly, and whispered softly.
Leon didn't think about killing Goliath.
Belle had been driven to the 18th floor to cooperate with Hermes' plan.
If the Goliath is killed now, what if the dungeon doesn't give birth to the Black Goliath?
Wouldn't his plan be ruined?
Looking at the Goliath rushing over, Leon's thought projection waved it's hand, and then dissipated under the Goliath's gaze.
Anyway, Belle and the others have already entered the 18th floor, are now basically safe.
On the other side, Leon and the others had reached the middle floors.
They quickly followed the map, searching one floor at a time.
Soon, they found the supplies that Belle and her party had accidentally lost.
Moreover, the supplies weren't in one place, instead being scattered, leading to a new floor.
They guessed the movements of Belle and the others, guessing that they might have decided to go to the 18th floor.
