Chapter 92: Bell's Dungeon Exploration, Encountering Goliath on the Return Trip
"I want to explore the depths of the Dungeon, and I hope to get Lady Freya's permission." The process was smoother than Bell had anticipated. Relying on the daily death-match "baptisms" with his fellow Familia members, this high-pressure environment.
Did indeed bring about an improvement in his ability scores, but it also led to an extremely poor relationship within the Familia.
This feeling…
Had been growing deep in his heart during his time in the Familia. This was not the adventurer life he wanted.
Without exception, the senior adventurer Liam, who had saved him that day, had only registered as an adventurer one day before him.
Without any Familia help, relying on his own efforts and talent, he broke the world record for the fastest upgrade to Lv2.
All these actions were the reasons that prompted Bell to make a change.
The good news was that he received Lady Freya's permission.
The team's safety configuration was very high. Mr. Pan, who usually acted as his "master" and guided him, and several other Lv2 companions.
Without the oppressive feeling from within the Familia, the atmosphere during the Dungeon exploration was exceptionally harmonious.
Passing through the "First Death Line," the team safely arrived in the middle levels.
This was also the first time Bell had reached this place. Without intelligence on the floors, the path ahead was full of unknown dangers. Even so.
He still strode forward, his heart filled with a hero's admiration for "Liam Moon."
"Mr. Pan, ahead is the middle levels!"
"Mm."
Pan, whose height was similar to Bell's and whose face was also quite similar, waved his hand with a rather impatient tone. The Dungeon's middle levels.
Posed no threat at all to him as a Level 4 adventurer.
If he had to say he was surprised about something, it would probably be that Lady Freya had actually agreed to Bell's request!
"Don't drag your feet! If you encounter a threat even in the middle levels, saying you're a member of the Freya Familia would be an insult to the Lady Goddess's great name!"
"."
Although it was a reprimand, Bell didn't feel any discomfort. It had been like this ever since he joined the Freya Familia.
But despite this, they had still provided him with a lot of help and care.
Looking at the floor area he had never set foot on before, the young man's heart was full of anticipation. He gripped his short sword and decisively explored forward.
"I hope…"
"I don't fall too far behind Mr. Liam!"
Achieving the subjugation target of the Familia expedition, successfully killing the rare species monster "Moss Huge."
The return journey seemed much easier. There were no performance requirements, and his physical stamina had been well-maintained during this period.
Using "Drawing Sword" as a means of quickly clearing the map, he didn't encounter any particularly strong threats.
The increase in experience points was quite substantial, no different from Liam's expectations.
Just in time, before returning to Orario, he could smoothly raise the "Sword Soul Template's" class level to 35.
"This speed of leveling up…"
"Is a bit beyond expectations."
The increase in the efficiency of gaining experience was partly because the monsters' strength had increased, thus providing more experience points.
Of course, the main reason was the "Drawing Sword" skill that Liam had mastered.
Walking at the forefront of the team, he was quite looking forward to the kind of ability score improvement this period of high-intensity Dungeon exploration would bring. All told, it had been nearly 6 days without a status update.
According to Hestia's personality, he couldn't imagine how worried she would be…
Using Selfless Sword Aura to clear the monsters, he led the expedition team smoothly back to the 18th floor's safe zone.
Confirming that they could return to Orario tomorrow, the scale of their dinner was much more sumptuous. Liam had no objections to this.
After all, from an objective standpoint, Yamato Mikoto from the "Takemikazuchi Familia" possessed truly excellent cooking skills.
Dinner was so good he couldn't even think of outside restaurants; it certainly couldn't be called anything but sumptuous.
But after all, it was a small-scale Familia expedition. To have the current conditions was something Lili had never imagined. Taking advantage of the free time, she counted the harvest of dropped items. Magic stones, dropped materials – selling them to the Adventurer's Guild should yield a lot of Valis.
Slightly improving the Familia's conditions.
And as a supporter, during the "Hestia Familia's" most difficult period, she had accompanied Liam to smoothly and completely finish the compulsory expedition.
Even if she had a stain on her past…
Lili felt that she probably couldn't be faulted. Looking at everyone preparing to eat dinner, her attitude had softened a lot.
The young woman lifted her slightly childish face, raised a glass of juice, and said with a faint smile, "At this rate, if things go smoothly."
"We can return to Orario before evening tomorrow."
"At that time, we'll first go back to our respective Familias to rest, and later go to The Hostess of Fertility restaurant to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Familia expedition!"
Hearing Lili's invitation to a celebration banquet, Kashima, who had a low sense of participation in the expedition process, cast his gaze towards Chigusa, who had also been a bystander.
Liam's strength was one thing. From a supporter's perspective, they really hadn't provided much help to the Familia expedition.
Only Mikoto, with her rare gravity magic, could barely be considered to have earned her keep.
Given that their gods had a good relationship, and they had still accepted payment, he really felt that this had nothing to do with him.
Kashima hesitated, and finally, after noticing Liam's unchanging expression, he nodded with a complicated mood, "No problem."
"."
And equally complicated was Mikoto, sitting beside Liam, hugging her knees.
The Familia expedition was about to end. Getting too close to the other party's higher-ups would definitely trouble Goddess Hestia.
In terms of swordsmanship…
The unprecedented "sword aura" combat style, and the kindness of him saving her when facing the Minotaurs.
The young woman occasionally turned her head, and when she looked at Liam beside her, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
The one who suddenly interjected was Chigusa, her voice timid, her black hair covering her eyes, "I hope the return trip goes smoothly."
After last night's rest, the expedition team was in excellent condition and prepared to leave the safe floor to return to Orario.
Time was relatively tight.
Unless the Familia expedition's supplies were insufficient, they would absolutely not choose to shop on "Rivira" street.
There was no other business.
After packing everything up, the team followed the floor passage back. The overall atmosphere was quite relaxed.
Liam's mood, however, was rarely somewhat apprehensive.
According to his time estimation, the middle-level floor lord "Goliath" should have been born yesterday. His own level breakthrough.
Would it, like in the original work, stimulate the Loki Familia, causing their Familia expedition to start early.
And casually dispatching the respawned floor lord "Goliath" along the way…
Clearing the monsters pouring out of the passage, as they gradually approached the area where the floor lord existed, a distinct sound of battle.
Attracted all of Liam's attention.
Facing the blank gazes of the other members of the expedition team, Liam turned his head and said with a relaxed smile, "Our luck seems to be pretty good?"
"What's going on…"
Not having Liam's strong combat sense, Lili, holding the map, frowned, her eyes full of confusion.
Following the map's marker, not far ahead was the floor lord "Goliath's" room.
The young woman was silent for a moment. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with disbelief. She asked tremblingly, "Your next target…"
"It couldn't possibly be that guy, could it?"
