Chapter 788

It has been 18 days since the last return from the Dungeon expedition; after 18 days of leisurely life on the surface, well, quite a few things happened in between.

For instance, the Kali Familia, and the two War Games conducted with the Apollo Familia and Ishtar Familia — Broly has finally returned to the life an Adventurer ought to have, that is, re-entering the Dungeon Labyrinth and resuming the normal daily routine of an Adventurer: killing monsters and grinding money.

At this moment, Broly's latest Ability Values have also reached 18s; defeating Adventurer members of other Familias with higher Levels than him seems to have been treated by the Falna on him as a kind of over-level monster-killing behavior, allowing his Ability Values to obtain a considerable degree of growth.

As for the members going into the Dungeon this time, besides Ryu, there are also Ais, Tiona, Lefiya, the White Shrine Maiden invited by Lefiya, and Chunji who is preparing to test the performance of newly forged Equipment, as well as Liliruca who has become free and whom Broly intends to power-level a bit.

Of course, besides the above seven people, there are also the two same-Familia girls who suddenly ran over in the morning when preparing to depart, saying they wanted to tag along to see the Deep Floors, and the Fox Person girl whom Broly took the opportunity to invite as well.

0.0.

"Daphne, you want to go into the Dungeon Labyrinth with Broly-sama too?"

"Hah, Cassandra, are you sleep-confused? The Captain is going to the Deep Floors; us two Lv. 2 small fries, are we qualified to tag along?"

"But, Liliruca-san is only Lv. 1, isn't she also going along?"

"She is her, we are we; that Pallum girl is clearly the Captain's woman at a glance."

"She is she, we are we; that Pallum girl is clearly the Captain's woman at a glance."

"No, not the same; she is the real thing, while we are fake."

Living under one roof together, Daphne could more or less feel that Broly's attitude toward the two of them was not too different from his attitude toward the Sword Princess, Liliruca, and the others — the former is an intimate boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, while the latter is an ordinary friend relationship.

Living together under one roof, Daphne could somewhat sense that Broly's attitude toward the two of them differed from his attitude toward the Sword Princess, Liliruca, and the others — the former was a close boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, while the latter was an ordinary friendship.

Seeing her friend refuse, Cassandra got a bit anxious and hurriedly spoke of the new dream she had dreamed.

"In the new precognitive dream, I dreamed that we as dolls were held high by a green Great Ape, and the faces of us dolls all had happy expressions; according to my many years of experience interpreting my own precognitive dreams, tagging along into the Dungeon this time is absolutely a good thing————"

Persuaded by her friend Cassandra, Daphne — who was also brought into the Hestia Familia by a precognitive dream last time and experienced the Wing Sharing Skill effect — chose to approach the departing Broly together with her.

Just as they said they wanted to tag along to the Dungeon, they were smoothly approved by their own boy Captain, who even uttered the strange remark "driving one sheep is herding, driving a flock of sheep is also herding," and took the opportunity to invite the Fox Person girl who had just been taken from the Ishtar Familia to their own Familia.

"You didn't bring any Supplies at all; are you really planning to go to the Deep Floors just like this?"

Having zero encumbrance on her body, passing through the gaps of the Dungeon Labyrinth, Filvis — who speed-descended to the Eighteenth Floor Labyrinth — couldn't help but speak up upon seeing Broly's group really not preparing to buy any Supplies at Rivira on this side, choosing to continue descending floors without stopping.

Of course, she believes in Broly's strength, but the Deep Floors aren't a place where strength alone suffices; that place lacks Supplies, and no matter how strong an Adventurer is, they still need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, right? Bringing zero Supplies — do they want to play battle royale in the Deep Floors?

"Ah, Filvis-san, it's not that we didn't bring Supplies; our Supplies are all placed in the Crystal Palace Space."

"Ah, Miss Filvis, it's not that we didn't bring supplies; our supplies are all placed in the Crystal Palace Space."

"Just treat it as a weightless Space Magic that can carry massive Supplies on your person."

"Just treat it as a weightless space magic that can carry massive supplies on your person."

Facing the White Shrine Maiden's skepticism, Lefiya hurriedly explained, while Tiona cooperated by taking out some things from the Crystal Palace.

After a period of silence, Filvis asked: "So, you all have this kind of miraculous Space Magic, and I'm the only one who needs to carry such a large Backpack?"

Hearing this, Broly and the others finally reacted belatedly; Tiona even slapped the back of her head and apologized: "Ah, very sorry, I thought you were carrying the pack to train your body."

Hearing this, Broly and the others only belatedly reacted; Tiona even slapped the back of her head and apologized: "Ah, very embarrassed, I thought you were wearing a pack to train your body."

Under the White Shrine Maiden's wordless gaze, the Amazon girl extended her hand to her: "Give me your pack; I'll help you put it in our Personal Space."

Under the White Shrine Maiden's silent gaze, the Amazon girl extended her hand toward her: "Give me your pack, I'll help you put it in our Personal Space."

With the only encumbrance in the party resolved, Broly and the others' floor-descent speed became even faster.

The entire 11-person squad took only a day and a half to reach the Death Colosseum on the 37th Floor of the Deep Floors Dungeon Labyrinth.

Because the party has Liliruca, Chunji, Daphne, and Cassandra — these low-Level members whose actual Combat Strength fundamentally cannot handle Deep Floor monsters.

So, they cannot directly activate a combat-bliss mode.

"Ais, you guys don't go deep into the Death Colosseum; just fight the Colosseum monsters lured out at the entrance.

Lili, Cassandra, you two are responsible for support fire from the rear; I will act as the whole party's supporter by your side.

Everyone don't worry about encountering danger, because I will take care of your safety the whole way!"

Broly directly activated Dungeon top-protection mode, assigning everyone in the party their respective responsibilities.

Of course, the main combatants are still Ais and the others; Liliruca and the rest are just picking up scraps and leeching experience in the back.

Of course, the main battle is still Ais and them; Liliruca and the others are just picking up scraps and leeching experience in the back.

Dungeon 37th Floor Labyrinth, the monster refresh rate on the Death Colosseum side is very fast; the monsters surging out from inside the Death Colosseum are almost endless.

Ryu participates in the main vanguard combat work; while teamed with Broly, her drop rate after killing monsters increased, making it stronger than her blindly messing around in the Dungeon alone, but the combat pressure on the Death Colosseum side is also higher than her solo monster-killing in the Middle Floors.

Lv. 4 Ryu, whose Ability Values haven't been updated in many years, facing a group of monsters generally of the same Level as her, even higher Level than her, often needs to rely on using Magic to finish kills; although Magic Power and Physical Strength replenishing potions haven't stopped, after half a day of high-intensity frontal combat, she still felt extremely fatigued.

Returning to the rear to rest, watching the Sword Princess girl still in the front, unleashing Unmatched Swordsmanship among the monster horde, her Swordsmanship level having already broken through its bottleneck.

Recalling the Fool Lady of Hearth Manor, who after she took out her money, said her money was only enough to cover a fraction of the research cost for a new Resurrection Magic, Ryu felt a bit frustrated.

Wanting to owe Broly less favors and bear the cost of resurrecting her friend Adi, after arriving at the Death Colosseum, engaging in half a day of high-intensity combat with the endless monster hordes here, Ryu deeply felt the insufficiency of her own strength.

【Perhaps, I should go find Lady Astraea and update my Ability Values which haven't been updated in two years————】

Such a thought emerged in her mind, but she soon felt that her unjust self had long since lost the face to meet her former Main God; only her friend Adi's resurrection lay on the other pan of the scales in her heart————

Ryu's mind was full of tangled thoughts; just when she didn't know what to do either, the Fox Person girl leaned over.

"Ryu-san, you look like you're having a bit of a hard time fighting."

"Miss Liu, you look like you're fighting somewhat laboriously."

Ryu did not deny it.

"Don't know, do you need my help?"

"Don't know, do you need my help?"

"Uh————"

Ryu was a bit speechless; a Lv. 1 Fox Person girl, what could she help her with?

Liu was somewhat speechless; a Lv. 1 Fox Person girl, what could she help her with?

But after Chunji used her Level Boost Magic on her.

But after Chunji used her upgrade Magic on her.

"Ah, is that right?"

Feeling power coursing through her entire body, Ryu directly changed her opinion.

Of course, with Chunji's level of magic power, the level-boost effect she could provide could only be maintained for about fifteen minutes.

However, after experiencing combat strength one level higher than her original level, Ryu felt the Fox Person girl's magic was also absurdly powerful.

"Uchide no Kozuchi————"

Just as the elf was feeling a sense of loss from the disappearance of the level-boost magic's effect and the fading of the power sensation, a new Uchide no Kozuchi came smashing down.

Ryu turned her head and discovered the person releasing this magic was no longer the Fox Person girl, but the Saiyan boy who had been acting as a nanny bodyguard in the rear.

Fine, Chunji's magic that can temporarily boost others' levels is absurd, but Broly's wing skill that can directly share others' abilities is even more absurd.

Even with just a verbal agreement to become the other party's Encounter Target, Broly can use the wing skill to share the Encounter Target's magic and skills.

For example, the Sword Princess's Wind Spirit Magic, or the Pallum girl's Transformation Magic, even his own Light Wind Magic, Broly can also use proficiently.

As for the opponent now learning and instantly selling it, directly using the Fox Person girl's magic, it was completely unsurprising.

Of course, unlike the Fox Person girl's magic effect which only lasts fifteen minutes, Broly's mana capacity directly let Ryu experience what is called endurance.

After Broly's Uchide no Kozuchi magic took effect, it never stopped; even when the Fox Person girl recovered her magic power and reused her own Uchide no Kozuchi magic to assist, she could only hang it on other people.

At night, when they went to the 39th Floor Safe Floor where monsters don't respawn to camp, Ryu actively brought up the matter of the Uchide no Kozuchi magic.

"Miss Chunji's magic has an astonishing effect; if it were known by others, it would definitely be coveted by them."

"It's fine, I will protect her well."

"I believe you, however, you cannot possibly be by Miss Chunji's side every single moment, right?"

"Mhm, indeed."

"Therefore, you had best keep the effect of Miss Chunji's magic secret as much as possible."

Before Ryu could even say such words, she heard the Saiyan boy say something like "A gentleman ceaselessly strives to strengthen himself," saying he wanted to help the Fox Person girl increase her strength.

What he meant was: as long as the other party becomes someone who can single-handedly grab the head of anyone coveting her, lift them up barehanded, and crush them, those who dare covet her will cease to exist.

Ryu's expression was quite complex; she felt Broly's words had no flaw, but the problem was, could this gentle, frail Fox Person girl beside them really grow into a fierce expert who crushes heads barehanded?

"Spoken correctly, as long as I get stronger myself, whoever dares come find trouble, beat them to death!"

Even more absurdly, the Sword Princess and Great Severing all quite agreed with the Saiyan boy's words, seemingly not doubting at all whether the Fox Person girl could become a strong person who crushes heads.

Ryu, who had never updated her Ability Values, obviously didn't know what Broly had shared with everyone else, and thought everyone was without cheats.

But in fact, among those present, only Filvis was truly without a cheat; as for the others, including her and Lefiya, they all had Broly's shared numerical cheats on them, it's just that hers hadn't activated yet because she had never updated her Ability Values.

"Right, Chun, can you craft a pendant like this?"

Broly drew a diagram on the ground by the campfire and asked the Half-dwarf wife beside him.

"I can, but what do you want to craft such a pendant for?"

Chun looked at the pendant diagram with an embedding slot that Broly had drawn on the ground and curiously asked.

"There are still some other Talismans in the space, and a few can increase Combat Strength; I want to take them out for Ryu to use."

The pendant isn't important; what's important are the Talismans embedded inside. Although Talismans suffer a certain degree of weakening when used cross-world, no matter how weakened, they are still quite absurd Rule Items.

After Chun crafted the pendant for embedding Talismans, and Ryu put on the Rabbit-Ox-Dragon Talisman Pendant embedded with Talismans representing Speed, Strength, and Energy, she directly gained an amplification effect exceeding Uchide no Kozuchi's temporary level boost.

The Rabbit and Ox brought a noble percentage amplification effect to Speed and Strength; the Dragon brought a powerful proportional Mana Recovery and Stamina Recovery effect, directly making the elf the strongest member of the entire squad, except for Broly.

When monsters respawned again at the Death Colosseum the next day, she displayed monster-killing efficiency higher than Ais's, as well as dual endurance of Stamina and Magic Power.

Filvis stared in dumbfounded shock.

"Miss Filvis, do you want to try wearing one too?"

That night, when everyone was interested and tried on the Talisman Pendants one after another, Broly even actively asked her.

"Ah, I can wear it too?"

The White Shrine Maiden pointed at herself, seemingly somewhat in disbelief.

"Of course."

Broly directly handed the Talisman Pendant to her.

After Filvis took it and put it on, she instantly felt a powerful sense of strength from her amplified body.

This sense of power gave her a feeling that she could settle the boy before her right now.

And according to Lord Dionysus's orders, if there is an opportunity, kill outstanding Adventurers————

"Miss Filvis, how does it feel?"

"My whole body is filled with a sense of power; I feel like I lack nothing."

After sprinting a distance, vigorously swinging the Short Sword in her hand, and trying to cast a magic spell with relatively high magic consumption, cracking a piece of ground, the White Shrine Maiden spoke the truth.

And after experiencing the Talisman's empowerment, Filvis unhesitatingly took off the Talisman Pendant from her neck and returned it to the Saiyan boy.

"This kind of miraculous Equipment, you had best only let people you yourself trust use it.

Otherwise, it will very easily provoke others' greed."

After returning the Talisman Pendant, the White Shrine Maiden said this to Broly with a serious face.

"Miss Filvis, you are right, however, everyone present now, I think I can trust them all."

Broly nodded and replied with a sentence.

【Can we (I) also be trusted?】

Filvis and Daphne had similar thoughts, but neither spoke them.

Cassandra looked happy, because she is always not trusted by people————

【If it is Mr. Broly, would he be willing to believe my dream?】

The blue-haired girl thought this, and she soon got the chance to verify her thought————

On the sixth day of entering the Dungeon, Cassandra, sleeping hugging the pillow she brought inside the tent, had a prophetic dream again.

And this dream was still a somewhat strange and abstract dream, just like a fairy tale story read to little children.

Only the story's protagonist had become a blue small dragon being chased by a group of dragon hunters, and beside the opponent's head there was an ape knight wearing green armor————

"Mr. Broly, if we don't go back, you might miss the opportunity to become a great Dragon Knight————"

Cassandra, having woken up, hugging her own pillow, still wearing sleepwear, directly went out of the tent.

She found the Saiyan boy brushing teeth and washing up outside, and spoke the slightly abstract fairy tale dream she had dreamed.

This young lady also gave her own interpretation prophecy regarding this abstract fairy tale dream, and then stared at Broly with some nervous worry.
