Chapter 111: Continuing Deeper into the Dungeon!
Upon hearing Bors' words, before Ethan could even speak, Paimon, who was standing beside him, became unhappy.
"Who are you? Paimon is Paimon, not some hybrid of Elf and Pallum!"
She might look small, but her temper was not.
Bors was also startled.
He had been in Orario for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Paimon.
Moreover, looking at Paimon's size, she did resemble a Pallum.
Coupled with Paimon's cute appearance, it was normal to ask if she was an elf.
But the combination of the two, a hybrid, was a 'combination' that even Ethan hadn't thought of.
"Uh~"
Being told off by the adorable Paimon, Bors felt a bit intimidated.
In his opinion, it was best not to provoke such cute little creatures because you never knew who was behind them.
Just like Ais beside him, who was also cute when she was young, she had captured the hearts of many gods.
There were even gods who wanted to take her by force, but in the end, those gods were retaliated against by Loki, and some even fled from Orario in disgrace.
"Alright, Paimon~"
"Hmph!"
Paimon glanced at Ethan and snorted coldly, giving him face by not pursuing the matter further.
As for Ais, she seemed to have really believed Bors' guess and kept staring at Paimon.
"Are you guys going to the lower floors?"
"Yes, we're planning to go to 'Water City'."
"The 'Water City', huh? Aren't you Level 1?"
Since they were both staying in Rivira Town, Bors didn't know that Ethan had leveled up.
In Orario, all adventurers needed to register with the Guild after ranking up, and during the Denatus, they would receive their own 'alias'.
"I upgraded a while ago, I'm Level 2 now."
"Level 2, huh!?"
Bors' eyes widened, and he looked Ethan up and down.
The boy was truly a little monster, worthy of being someone who could make the goddess of beauty personally bring him to her Familia.
He had ranked up in such a short time.
At the same time, Bors was also glad for his 'foresight'.
Fortunately, he had seized the opportunity before the boy became famous.
It probably wouldn't be long before Ethan became one of Orario's new first-class adventurers.
After chatting for a while, Ethan and the two girls continued their exploration of the dungeon.
After passing through the safe zone of the 18th floor, the next floor was once again the territory of the 'Large Tree Labyrinth'.
'Rustle rustle——'
As soon as they arrived, the three of them received a 'warm welcome'.
Insect-type monsters crawled out from the corners and launched surprise attacks on them.
'Swish——'
'Pfft pfft pfft——'
Ais took the lead, her Desperate sword like a death scythe, reaping the lives of these monsters.
However, compared to the monsters on the upper floors, the number of monsters here had increased significantly.
Especially insect-type monsters, which were known for their 'quantity'.
"Ais, retreat~~"
"Okay."
Hearing his words, although Ais was a little puzzled, she still chose to trust his judgment.
The next second, a burst of scorching flames erupted, instantly clearing the surrounding area.
Beside Ethan, a gem floating in mid-air shattered.
"Fire magic? Without chanting?"
Loki Familia had no shortage of mages, but Ais had never seen magic that didn't require chanting.
Even Riveria needed to chant to cast magic.
"Gem magic. You can store magic power in gems and release it directly when needed."
"Amazing magic~"
Gem magic, in her eyes, was Ethan's unique magic.
In Orario, apart from exceptional races like elves, it was almost impossible for other races to awaken magic on their own.
They could only acquire it through 'falna'.
And such magic was unique to each individual, with no possibility of being 'replicated'.
Moreover, Ais was a swordsman, so she didn't pay much attention to magic.
Since the last time, Ethan had collected a large number of gems and continuously poured magic energy into them whenever he had time.
Now, with the skill 'Perfect Form', Ethan had no shortage of magic power, and his recovery speed was incredibly fast.
Gem magic had become a 'magic' that Ethan used regularly.
He even wondered if, besides 'space rings', he could also create some 'magic rings', similar to magic swords, but easier to carry and more convenient.
Moreover, because the magic released by gem magic was consumable, it was different from space rings.
In Orario, only a small group of rich people could afford space rings.
Most ordinary people could only watch the excitement.
'Rustle rustle——'
Another wave of noise came as a new batch of insect monsters surged forward.
"Gem magic - Flame—"
'Bang——'
With the shattering of another gem, flames swept through again, instantly clearing all the nearby monsters.
"Ah! There are too many magic stones, Paimon can't pick them up fast enough."
At this moment, Paimon complained.
Although 'picking up money' felt good, there were simply too many.
For Paimon, who wasn't particularly interested in hardwork, being able to persist until now was already a miracle.
"Paimon, you have the Cursed Technique that can use 'Imaginary Number Magic' in your body, which can directly connect to the 'Imaginary Space'. You don't need to pick them up one by one like this."
"Then what should I do?"
"Just absorb these magic stones directly."
Ethan waved his hand, and cracks opened on the ground, or more precisely, beneath the magic stones.
Then, all the magic stones were absorbed into the space cracks.
This scene surprised Paimon greatly.
Did she have such an ability?
Why didn't she know?
Then, Paimon tried it a little and found that she could really do it.
This made Paimon a little angry.
Why didn't he tell her about this method earlier and let her waste time picking up magic stones for so long?
"Hmm?"
Ais looked at the two of them discussing 'Imaginary Number Magic' with confusion.
However, seeing the magic stones disappearing around them, Ais understood that this was probably another one of Ethan's magic or skills.
It was truly amazing that a Level 2 adventurer possessed so many amazing magic and skills.
'Swish——'
A black shadow swept past from above, its gaze fixed on Ethan.
It was a pair of eyes that shone with a special meaning.
When they looked at Ethan, they clearly changed, but because of Ais beside him, they became uncertain again.
