He continued his path, and upon reaching higher floors, the atmosphere gradually changed. Dense darkness gave way to faint luminosity, indicating the proximity of the surface, and the fresh scent of water began to fill his senses.
He finally entered the capital of the waters again, but there was no sign of Amphisbaena in its place in the large lake in front of him.
"I'll have to deal with that; it would be much better to face it, but I'll have to wait... Anyway, the sight of the cascading waterfalls brings a sense of renewal after days of exploration in the depths," Xin murmured internally.
Xin continued through the underwater corridors of the 26th floor, facing some monsters that appeared with their new, faster magic—now more rapid than his fireballs, especially when the element had an advantage against water.
No monster survived, and with a simple command, all magic stones disappeared around him to enter his spatial space, with Soul Trap enhancing the value of the stones.
"I'm having a very easy life now... I can't wait to reach level 3. My magic is capped at 9,000 points again, where I can only receive 10% of the Exp after this threshold, which is pretty bad. I need to quickly level up to evolve it again," Xin pondered as he walked.
During this walk, Xins suddenly noticed movement in the water beside him and quickly prepared to launch a lightning bolt. However, he restrained himself when he recognized the approaching figure by the color of her hair.
Marie emerged from the waters with a daring leap, straight into Xin's arms as before, and he caught her swiftly. Her heart overflowed with joy, and an enthusiastic scream escaped: "XIN!!!!!!!"
But reprimand followed immediately as Xin warned, "Marie!? Don't do that anymore. Shout at me before approaching. I almost attacked you with that move!" He had a stern tone.
Marie is a Mermaid Xenos Xin encountered on the 25th Floor of the Dungeon.
Marie has emerald blue hair and jade colored eyes, fins in place of ears, faint indigo-blue skin on her upper body, along with a fin the same color as her hair. She started to use shells to cover her breasts after her first encounter with Xin.
Marie is an innocent and child-like Xenos. Though she is able to speak, her communication skills are lacking, giving off a sense that she is immature, thats why Xin like her.
"Hm? Xin Hehehehe!"
However, Marie seemed oblivious to Xin's serious look, and he sighed at the little girl's mischief.
"What am I going to do with you? Anyway, it's good to see you. How did you find me?" He asked, pleased to see that she was wearing a bikini this time.
Marie's response was quick and full of energy. "I smelled you! You've been here, right? I looked for you everywhere! But I couldn't find you in the past few days until today when Marie found Xin!"
"When I heard the explosions, Marie knew it was Xin! But where is that shining thing floating around you Why isn't he with Xin? I wanted more of that food in your backpack..." She spoke rapidly as if they only meet once in the 25 Floor.
The shy thing she talking is the Light Ball that Xin use as light around the dark corridor of the Dungeon.
