While rolling, Levi had already reoriented himself.
As he got back to his feet, he realized he'd been ambushed by other adventurers.
In the Dungeon, powerful monsters are undoubtedly very dangerous.
But if you were to ask the adventurers of Orario what is truly the most terrifying thing, at least nine out of ten would say it's other adventurers.
Ambushing, robbing, bullying...
There's even the so-called 'monster delivery,' where someone lures monsters they can't handle toward other adventurers.
In the Dungeon, where the laws of the surface don't apply, human greed is magnified to its absolute limit.
Out of a transmigrator's pride, Levi disdained bullying others or stealing their money.
But that didn't mean he would just swallow his anger and endure it when something similar happened to him.
His eyes quickly scanned the distance. After confirming there were four enemies who had ambushed him, Levi almost instantly took out his hardwood shortbow and enchanted arrows.
At the same time, mana surged around his body as he switched his buff state from 'Mana Burst: En' to 'Mana Burst: Ten'.
[Mana Burst · 4-Star (Master 25%+):]
[...]
[Advanced · En: Greatly enhances perception of the environment]
Like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, he dashed out of the cave, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow. The Vision hanging from his neck bloomed with a pale, bluish-white light.
And then...
—Swish!
—Swish!
—Swish!
—Swish!
Four consecutive arrows, imbued with the Cryo Element, were fired in just two seconds.
Adventurers who dared to rob others on the 6th Floor were undoubtedly far stronger than the average for that level.
Sensing the movement behind them, the four members of an unknown Familia almost simultaneously chose to dodge.
However, only one of them managed to luckily evade the attack.
Of the other three, two were hit directly in the back. The Cryo Element imbued in the arrowheads exploded violently, and the terrifying cold instantly stole away their remaining life force.
Another had his upper right arm pierced. Though not fatal, the cold made his whole body tremble, drastically reducing his escape speed.
Levi had no intention of letting his enemies go.
Closing the distance with the fleeing man, he paid no mind to his arrow consumption.
This time, he nocked six arrows directly onto the bowstring.
After they flew out, propelled by the bowstring, one of them struck the adventurer with the pierced arm right in the head.
Four of the other five missed, but one lodged itself in the last man's calf.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!"
The man let out a bloodcurdling scream and collapsed to the ground, yet he still tried to crawl forward.
As if doing so could allow him to escape Levi's hunt.
Unfortunately, the next second, the swish of an arrow vibrated through the air.
An arrow drilled straight into his head.
Although it took a lot to describe, in reality, the entire process—from Levi being ambushed to him counterattacking and finally killing all four—lasted only six seconds.
The four adventurers, whose souls had already returned to the heavens, probably never imagined that an adventurer with strength comparable to a high-tier, or even top-tier, Lv.2 would be lurking on the 6th Floor instead of heading deeper down.
Out of caution, Levi didn't rush towards the four distant corpses. Instead, he drew his bow again and delivered a few more headshots to be sure.
Only after confirming they were absolutely dead did he step forward and begin looting the bodies.
Those who dare to engage in murder and robbery are not only strong but also tend to be well-prepared with all sorts of items.
In the four men's bags, besides some magic stones of varying sizes and recovery potions, Levi found several barbed, super-hard metal arrows.
These were an advanced version of the enchanted arrows he used, not only having better mana conductivity but also being very durable.
However, they were also very expensive, costing 1,000 Valis each.
Additionally, at the very bottom of the backpack belonging to who was likely the leader—the adventurer who dodged Levi's first attack—was a low-grade magic sword that had been used once or twice.
This thing sold for two to three hundred thousand in shops. Considering it was used, he could probably get twenty to thirty thousand for it at a pawnshop.
Levi had his Vision; combined with enchanted arrows, he could achieve an effect similar to that of a low-grade magic sword.
Naturally, he had no intention of keeping the magic sword.
The super-hard metal arrows, however, were tossed directly into his inventory, placed alongside his enchanted and regular arrows.
'It's about time. I'll call it a day.'
After tallying his haul, Levi dusted off his hands and stood up.
This wasn't his first time killing someone. On his way to Orario, Levi had already dispatched several robbers who blocked his path.
Any psychological discomfort he was supposed to have had already manifested and been overcome.
The atmosphere in the corridor was a bit quiet.
Or rather, it was too quiet.
The adventurers farming monsters nearby might not have witnessed it firsthand, but upon hearing the earlier commotion and emerging from their respective caves, they all saw Levi looting the bodies.
Although they didn't know if Levi had ambushed someone or had been ambushed and retaliated, one thing was crystal clear to them.
The strength of that short, pale-gold-haired young man in the distance, who could take down four adventurers by himself, was absolutely not to be underestimated!
Not wanting to be seen as an enemy by Levi, these experienced adventurers simply abandoned their chosen farming spots, either packing up early or moving to other areas on the 6th Floor.
The result was that Levi didn't encounter another adventurer all the way back to the 5th Floor.
...
"Here."
"Thanks."
At the counter, Levi took the heavy pouch of money from the staff member, ignoring the greedy or surprised stares from those around him.
He had already sold the second-hand magic sword at a pawnshop. Including the money he had on hand, he now possessed over 123,000 Valis.
For a Lv.1 adventurer, this amount of cash was more than enough to completely upgrade their equipment or enjoy themselves in the Pleasure Quarter for ten days to half a month.
But for Levi...
In less than forty minutes, his total wealth saw a sharp decline.

"So, today you first upgraded your equipment, then went to the 6th Floor to farm magic stones all day, got ambushed by other adventurers in the afternoon, and ended up killing them in return?"
At dinnertime, Hestia, as usual, asked the young man sitting across from her about his day.
Levi nodded.
He and Hestia had the symbiotic relationship of a god and their Familia member. She might look young, but she wasn't some naive simpleton.
There was no need for him to hide most of what he did from her.
