The group then continued to go deeper, searching new floors.
In this way, Leon accompanied Hestia and the others to search all the way down. It took seven or eight hours for them to reach the 17th floor from the 14th floor.
"I didn't find them, not even any signs of their bodies. I think they might have gone to the 18th floor." Ryuu said to Hestia.
They had searched all the known places in the middle floors according to the map, but did not find any traces of Belle and the others.
This made Ryuu guess that they had successfully reached the 18th floor.
As for Belle and the others being eaten by monsters, she felt that this possibility was very small.
Because even if they were eaten, some traces would be left.
"That's good. Then let's go to the eighteenth floor now." Hestia breathed a sigh of relief and said thankfully.
Without any hesitation, everyone continued to move and headed towards the eighteenth floor.
Soon, they arrived at the Wall of Sighs.
As expected, as soon as they arrived, the Goliath appeared again.
"Do you want to kill it?"
Looking at the Goliath, Ryuu turned to look at Leon and asked.
If Leon was not here, she would choose to protect everyone and leave as soon as possible.
After all, excluding Leon, she is the strongest one here, a Lv. 4. Except for Asfi, the rest are burdens.
If she looks for a fight, she will be in a passive position.
But now that Leon is with her, Ryuu naturally asked him for his opinion.
"Is this the Goliath?"
"He's really tall!"
Hermes curiously looked at the Goliath, who was rushing towards them with big strides.
"No, let's leave the Goliath to those who need it. Let's not touch it."
"After all, the refresh cycle is not short."
Leon shook his head and rejected Ryuu's proposal.
Ouka and the others, who had been on high alert and ready to fight at any time, immediately became ashamed.
Is this the attitude of first-class adventurers towards the monster rex Goliath?
This is the boss!!!
As Leon finished speaking, the shadow under the feet of the running Goliath began to twist.
Tentacles rushed out from the shadow, binding the Goliath firmly in place, making it unable to move.
Ryuu and the others were stunned, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"Let's go, don't waste time."
It wasn't until Leon spoke that everyone realized that the dark tentacles were his work.
Everyone looked at Leon, who was holding Hestia's hand and walking towards the passage, and followed without hesitation.
"Although I knew that Leon was strong before, my heart is still surging."
"Is this the strength of a first-class adventurer?!"
Mikoto looked at Leon's back and murmured in a low voice.
She hoped that she could be like Leon in the future.
"This is the strength of a first-class adventurer." Ouka nodded and responded a little absent-mindedly.
Previously, Ouka did not resist when Leon taught him a lesson because he knew his power.
He knew that if he resisted, the consequence would most likely be death. After all, what he had done was immoral.
Everyone successfully entered the passage leading to the 18th floor.
After they disappeared from the 17th floor, the tentacles on the Goliath's body gradually disappeared.
As soon as it got out of trouble, the Goliath roared to the sky, it's voice tinged with frustration.
"Let's go to Rivira to inquire first."
After arriving at the 18th floor, Ryuu turned her head and looked at Leon, suggesting.
According to Ryuu's thought process, if Belle and the others had arrived at the 18th floor, they would definitely go to Rivira as soon as possible to buy some recovery potions. So, going there to look for it is the best choice.
"No, I've already found them."
In response to Ryuu's suggestion, Leon shook his head and said with a smile.
As soon as he had arrived at the 18th floor, Leon had already found Belle and the others thanks to the veins of light.
They had already gone to Rivira, bought some camping supplies and chosen to camp in the wild.
It's probably because they know that the prices in Rivira are horrible.
Leon led everyone to where Bell and the others were camping.
Ryuu and the others looked at each other, a little surprised that he had found Belle and the others so soon.
However, although they were surprised, they didn't question it, quickly followed him.
Soon, they found Belle and the others in an open space in the wild.
At this moment, the three were sitting around a bonfire and eating.
"Belle, Lily!!!"
Hestia rushed over quickly.
Hearing the sound, Belle and Lily, who were busy cooking turned around quickly.
"Hestia-sama!!!"
"Why are you here?!"
Hestia and Belle ran towards each other, grabbing each other's hands, and shaking them happily.
Belle even had tears in her eyes, and she complained to Hestia.
Who knew how much danger they were in this time?
If they hadn't accidentally obtained supplies at the critical moment, they might not have been able to reach the 18th floor alive.
"Morning Star!!!"
While Belle was complaining to Hestia, Lily ran towards Morning Star, threw herself into his arms regardless of anything, and burst into tears.
Morning Star was not surprised by Lily's reaction.
Since he had comfort Lily last time, she has started to regard him as her greatest support.
After encountering such great danger, even if Lily didn't collapse after seeing him, she would definitely want to vent her feelings to him.
Morning Star didn't speak. He just stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lily's hair, silently comforting her.
The others just looked at Chenxing and the others quietly, without saying anything.
Soon, Belle and Lily's emotions gradually stabilized.
After calming down, they noticed Ouka and his party, and their faces suddenly changed.
"Morning Star, it's them who made us like this."
Lily said, and Belle also stared at them with an unpleasant expression.
"I'm deeply sorry for before. No matter how you want to punish me, I have no complaints."
Ouka took a few steps forward, and then knelt down, and apologized sincerely.
Mikoto did the same.
Looking at Ouka and Mikoto, Belle's expression was very complicated.
Belle also had a deep resentment and hatred for Ouka's previous actions.
But she was not stupid. Seeing that they appeared here with their God, she could guess some things.
Their god must have some relationship with Hestia, otherwise they would not appear here.
Belle did not want to make things difficult for her God. She, who was kind by nature, did not want to pursue the matter.
"I forgive you, but I can't make the decision for Lily and Welf." Belle sighed and said softly.
