Chapter 152 – Towards Rivira.

Chapter 152 – Towards Rivira.

As soon as I realized it wouldn't be easy, I decided to give up for now. The mission has no time limit, just like Mikoto's and Ais's.

Ais's mission... she needs to confess her love to me.

Will that happen during our next dinner?

No notifications from the system appeared. When Lili completely fell in love with me, the system notified me, but that hasn't happened yet.

"Shall we go?" Ais said. We had all finished eating and decided to continue exploring the dungeon. My next goal within the dungeon is to reach Rivira.

I'm curious to see what that place is like in person. It was beautiful in the anime, and the novel described it as magnificent. Is it that incredible?

"If you want to go to Rivira, we can go there today. It won't be as hard as it seems."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, we can get there without any trouble. Our group is strong enough. Did you bring enough food and water?"

I had stored many water bottles and stuffed bread in my inventory. I don't just use my inventory in the dungeon but outside of it, too.

"Are you sure? Won't it take too long? We just reached the 10th floor."

"We haven't been here for long, right?" Tiona tilted her head. "It hasn't been two hours since we entered the Dungeon, and we're already here."

"If you're fine with it, let's go to Rivira. I'm curious," I said.

"Luan, you told us you usually explore the Dungeon alone, didn't you?" Tiona asked.

"I prefer it because I like using my abilities and running through the dungeon. I enjoy quick explorations and killing as many monsters as possible."

"If you had a group, you could go deeper easily. You're strong, much stronger than you look."

"What do you mean by stronger than I look? Don't I seem strong?"

"That's not what I meant. You're an unknown adventurer, right? I think no one besides us knows how strong you are. People probably underestimate you."

"You're right. But I don't mind. I like being alone."

"Honestly, I think I could explore the 15th to 17th floors alone. I just haven't done it because I'm lazy and cautious."

"Don't be overconfident; it could put you in tricky situations," Tiona said.

"As I mentioned, I'm very cautious, which is why I hadn't come to these floors before. But it's much easier than I expected."

Even after several minutes, no monsters appeared.

We kept exploring.

Until the first monsters showed up—hellhounds. Monsters with dark fur and fiery red eyes. Ais and the others remained calm, so I stayed calm, too.

"I want to fight them," I said.

"Are you sure about that? Can you handle it alone?"

"There are only four of them; I'll be fine," I replied to Ais.

"All right, but try not to get hit directly by them."

I pulled my sword from my inventory and faced the Hellhounds.

Grrrr~~

Grrr~~

The monsters growled, flames beginning to form around them. Then, I disappeared, reappearing right behind them.

Slash~~

I cut through all the wolves with one clean, swift swing of my long-bladed sword. They stopped growling, their flames extinguished, and their bodies became particles.

All of them were killed in one second with a single move.

I put my sword back in my inventory and smiled at the three of them.

"How was it?"

The three of them were amazed. It was the first time I had shown them my teleportation skill so clearly.
