CHAPTER 897: CHAPTER 694: APPROACHING! SET OUT!

This is an unknown chamber in the underground city.

The chamber has only one entrance and exit, surrounded by walls glowing with dim phosphorescence, filled with obscure darkness inside, like a ravenous beast ready to engulf anyone who comes here with its gloom.

In such an undisclosed chamber, a strange sound occurred.

"Crunch... Crunch..."

This is the sound produced when a hard object is being devoured piece by piece.

On the chamber floor, amidst a vast gray sea, countless monsters have turned into corpses, staining the ground with blood while continuously transforming into scattered dust.

"Splat!"

A voluptuous red-haired woman held a large crimson sword in one hand while penetrating a monster’s body with a hand as sharp as a knife, extracting a blue-violet crystal—magic stone—from the monster.

"Boom!"

The monster, having its magic stone extracted, immediately turned into flying ash, becoming a heap of piled-up dust.

"Crunch..."

The red-haired monstrosity named Reveis stuffed the dug-out magic stone into her mouth, chewing it like a snack, making crackling sounds.

There’s no doubt that the female monstrosity named Reveis was feasting.

Only, she wasn’t consuming human food, but rather the favorite meal of what is known as "enhanced creatures"—magic stones.

"Crunch crunch..."

Reveis kept digging out monsters’ magic stones in this chamber, then tossing them into her mouth to eat, like she would never be satisfied, repeating this behavior until all monsters in the chamber turned to dust and vanished, forcing her to stop.

The thick sea of gray covering the entire chamber floor showed that the number of monsters devoured by this female monstrosity had accumulated to astronomical numbers, causing astonishment.

If all these magic stones from countless monsters fell into the mouth of an enhanced creature, then even if the creature was originally only Lv.1, it likely would have already become a monster on par with first-level adventurers.

Now, there is a monstrosity, capable of matching Lv.6 creatures, consuming numerous magic stones like an enhanced creature, truly making for a terrifying sight.

In fact, if Reiger and Ais were here and saw Reveis at this moment, they would realize that the aura exuded by Reveis had already changed compared to before.

Becoming more dangerous, more ferocious, colder, and sharper.

Yet, despite such drastic changes, Reveis was still murmuring.

"Not enough..."

"Still not enough..."

"This level..."

Reveis then turned around, ready to leave the chamber.

At this moment, a neurotic voice called out to her.

"Have you not finished your hunt, Reveis!"

A white-robed man wearing a skull helmet appeared, standing in the chamber, calling out to Reveis.

"Isn’t it enough? How many monsters have you eaten?"

"You’re undeniably much stronger than before, even if you confront those two again, you certainly won’t lose."

"There’s no need to continue hunting; it’s time to move."

"Did you hear ’her’ voice?"

"’She’ has been whispering in our ears, saying ’she’ wants Alya."

Under the white-robed man’s words, Reveis stopped.

She naturally heard ’her’ voice.

However...

"I said, this level’s not enough," Reveis coldly said, "a character that even completely restored beings fear, Reiger Brillhaut."

"I’m still unable to defeat him."

"I must continue hunting, continue eating."

"Otherwise..."

Hearing this, the white-robed man was unwilling to listen further.

"I don’t understand what you’re afraid of, that brat?"

"He might have some skills, but at most, he’s just a human blessed by the gods, incomparable to beings like us who’ve entered the non-human realm."

"You’ve already hunted so many monsters there; I’ve grown sufficiently stronger since then. It’s impossible to run away like last time."

"And besides, our target is Alya, not that brat named Reiger Brillhaut."

"Exactly, all we have to do is target Alya; we don’t need to bother with that brat at all."

Hearing this, Reveis didn’t even glance at the white-robed man, seemingly disdainful to argue with him.

"I have a feeling that to capture Alya, that we can’t possibly avoid that man," Reveis said coldly, "without defeating that man, we will never capture Alya."

This statement seemed to make the white-robed man chuckle.

"Don’t be ridiculous, Reveis. Do you think using the word ’feeling’ can persuade me?" the white-robed man said, "I still say it’s enough; we need to act now."

"I’ve received intelligence from Enio."

"It says the Loki familia is on an expedition, undeniably aiming for the 59th floor where ’that’ exists."

"Tomorrow, they’ll pass through ’Dragonorr,’ advancing toward the 59th floor."

"This is a golden opportunity; we can use the environment of ’Dragonorr’ to deal with the Loki familia and seize Alya."

Precisely because of receiving such intelligence, the white-robed man couldn’t hold back and wanted to act.

He believed that with the terror of ’Dragonorr,’ even if the Loki familia could cope, they would be stretched thin and unable to handle everything during the raid.

This way, they could easily ambush the Loki familia, capture Alya, and maybe even annihilate those hateful first-level adventurers of the Loki familia.
