Chapter 303 Rising To The Tenth Floor
"Thank you for the talk, Sir Ralyks."
Belle rose to her feet and bowed slightly to the Dark Adventurer.
Her gentle smile and pleasant face gave off an air of cuteness and downright innocence. Her boobs jiggled as she raised her head from its bowed position, but it seemed she didn't notice. Follow current novels at novelhall.come. Go and rest for the remaining time. We'll be resuming the Raid very soon."
"Understood!" She gave a salute and jogged off.
As she happily hopped off, Ralyks—or rather, Ater—smiled underneath his mask.
'That went well...' He thought to himself in amusement.
The mind of humans never ceased to intrigue him. Even the most vile among them were like mere blank canvases that could be contorted to his whims.
'[Compulsion] works like a charm, as expected.'
Of course, he made sure to edit some of her memories of the events that transpired between them. That way, no risk would come to his Master's persona.
'But with this, I suppose one seed has been planted.' He took one final look at the girl, watching as she sat among her male friends.
Darkness coiled within the red of his eyes.
'I look forward to your future, Belle.'

Once they were done resting, the Otherworlders began their journey downward.
Of course, this meant encountering even more powerful Monsters.
"Full power! Attack the left flank!"
Echoes of desperation, as well as roars of powerful strikes, filled the entire Eight Floor.
The reason was simple.
'Since we didn't face the Monsters of the Seventh Floor, we haven't properly acclimated to the Monsters here...' Rey thought to himself as he maintained his position on the formation.
Their current enemies looked like massive lizards.
They had scales like crocodiles, though, and their bodies seemed to be as elastic as rubber.
They had camouflage abilities, venomous breaths, acid spray, and a bunch of other nasty abilities that made them very problematic.
Their scales were tough, and their senses were razor sharp.
The only advantage that the Otherworlders had going for them was speed and intelligence.
The Monsters, despite their multifarious abilities, were predictable and lacked anything beyond basic intelligence.
After facing them for a while, it was clear that these were the kind of creatures who acted based on their impulses and nothing more.
As a result, the Otherworlders were able to give a brilliant counterattack and gain momentum from there.
Since utilizing physical attacks was very disadvantageous when fighting the Monsters, Magic-based Skills were preferred.
- Skills (Exclusive): [Divine Sword Summon]. [Absolute Defense]. [Grand Light Magic]. [&$@?3$$!0n]
- Skills (Non-Exclusive): [Combat Application]. [Magic Application]. [Mana Recovery]. [Full Sense]. [Life Force Recovery]. [Indomitable Power].
- Alignment: Lawful Good
[Additional Information]
Your desire to save this world has transcended the very bounds of time itself, and now you are once again on the journey to protect those you love.
Good luck!

'... My Stats have reached a satisfactory level.'
Adonis grinned even more when he looked at his Skills. He had gotten new ones.
'I guess I made the right call after all.'
He had abandoned his Life Force Stat and focused on his Combat Ability and Mana Level.
This was simply because he had a Skill for defense, and throughout the Raid, he could always be healed by Alicia if he sustained damage.
What mattered most to him was how many enemies he could defeat in order to grow stronger.
As a result of this choice, he was able to get a bunch of new Skills—one of which gave him the ability to slowly recover his Life Force.
In essence, Healing.
'It's a Passive Skill, and its effects are slow. But since it doesn't consume any Mana, it's plenty useful.'
He also got [Indomitable Power], which temporarily doubled his Base Combat Ability Stat.
All of these Skills contributed to how elated Adonis was at the moment.
Yes, he felt so exhausted that he wanted to vomit and collapse on the ground.
However, more than that... he felt ecstatic.
'Just as you said, Rey...' Adonis cast his gaze on the nobody in the background and widened his smile.
'I... I've gotten stronger!'
