Levi paused upon hearing this, then opened his Inventory and tossed a potion bottle containing a light brown transparent liquid into Alise's hands.
[Zero-Alcohol Anti-Fatigue Sparkling Wine · 4-Star: Upon consumption, it can substitute for sleep to revitalize the spirit and relieve fatigue. Frequent consumption within a short period may cause drug resistance and side effects such as 'insomnia' and 'irritability'.]
Back on the 18th Floor, having perfectly mastered the 'Pure Water Blessing Bartending Technique', it was naturally impossible for him to have only developed the Ice and Fire Wine.
Using the concept of 'excitement' inherent in alcohol, he created an anti-fatigue wine specifically for attacking the Dungeon that could substitute for sleep to a certain extent.
A strengthening wine infused with the 'Mana Burst' magic concept, capable of boosting all Ability Scores except Magic by 200 points each.
An extreme strengthening wine that boosts a single Ability Score except Magic by 500 points.
An Ice Enchantment wine that, when sprinkled on a weapon, grants it an ice element enchantment for a short time.
A Force Field wine that, after drinking, forms a magic shield on the body's surface capable of withstanding a certain amount of attack.
And a Regeneration wine capable of repairing minor limb defects.
...
With the two Development Abilities of 'Mystery' at Rank G and 'Bartending' at Rank S, Levi had practically played his skills into a myriad of forms.
But listening to the words coming from his mouth, the two maidens couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise, or even astonishment.
Especially Alise. Since she didn't need to help pull mobs at the moment and only needed to alternate Supporter duties with Gojouno Kaguya, she simply clasped her hands behind her head and casually complained: "Although I wanted to say this back when I was summoned, you guy... aren't you a bit too much of a monster?"
"Enchantment magic, shield magic, wide-range attack magic with self-recovery, blessing magic, spatial storage magic... If my memory serves me right, for us born in the Lower World, even if we receive Falna, we can learn at most three magics, right?"
Levi glanced at the maiden beside him: "Just skill effects. The Loki Familia also has an Elf maiden who can learn all the magic of her race."
"Oh?" Since Alise had died five years ago before being summoned to the Lower World as a Heroic Spirit, she naturally couldn't know of the 'Thousand Elf', Lefiya Viridis, who had transferred from the School District to the Loki Familia during this period. "My, my... the current Orario is truly terrifying~"
Then, she was knocked on the head by Gojouno Kaguya beside her, who corrected: "The amazing one is Levi, not Orario."
"Aha, that's true too."
The three chatted idly as they walked upward.
About five hours later, they successfully reached the 28th Floor.
On this Safe Floor, unlike the previous floors, Levi unexpectedly discovered the figures of quite a few adventurers through the perception of 'Mana Burst · Circle'.
After thinking for a moment, he realized the reason.
There was a high probability that the Floor Boss of the 27th Floor—the 'Two-Headed Dragon' Amphisbaena—had been spawned by the Dungeon.
'Heh, what a coincidence.'
The corners of Levi's mouth curled up slightly. Without hesitation, he led Alise and Gojouno Kaguya towards the direction of the 27th Floor.
As former veteran adventurers, although the two maidens didn't possess their employer's sensory skills, they vaguely sensed something thanks to their honed sixth sense and the increasingly obvious terrifying aura in the air.
Gojouno Kaguya spoke up to remind him: "Levi, the Two-Headed Dragon seems to have respawned."
Levi didn't stop walking: "Yeah, I know."
Hearing his response, the white-haired maiden couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
But soon, she understood her employer's intention.
"You intend to challenge the Floor Boss? Just... relying on the three of us?"
The 'Two-Headed Dragon' Amphisbaena. Individual potential Level 5. Because it is aquatic combat, considering the terrain restrictions, the difficulty of the raid should be raised by another Level.
It usually requires a team of over a dozen reasonably configured Level 5 and Level 4 adventurers to kill it relatively safely.
Gojouno Kaguya considered her own strength not bad; with a full outburst, she could reach the standard of a Level 4 Upper Tier.
Her close friend Alise was a standard Level 5 combatant.
As for Levi, looking only at his magic performance, he was more than qualified to be a Rearguard.
But to be honest, Gojouno Kaguya did not favor a challenge team composed of just the three of them.
A configuration of two Vanguards + one Rearguard. Unless they didn't make a single mistake throughout the entire battle, a total defeat and the annihilation of the team was the most likely future.
Alise usually looked a bit heartless, but she was ultimately the former Captain of the Astrea Familia.
Her strategy itself was not poor.
At this moment, she reminded him with a serious expression: "I also don't suggest you challenge the Floor Boss, Levi."
Levi looked at the two women with some confusion.
"When did I say I was going to take you two to challenge the Floor Boss?"
"Hah?" x2
Gojouno Kaguya frowned: "Then why are you running towards the 27th Floor..."
—direction?
She didn't have time to say the rest of the words, because in the next second, the youth's incomparably calm words rang in the ears of the two women.
"From the beginning, the one who is going to challenge the Two-Headed Dragon is only myself."
"???" x2
"?!" x2
"!!!" x2
"Do you want to die?!" Gojouno Kaguya's volume raised slightly. "Even if you want to die, please don't drag Alise and me along. We are still bound to you right now."
Her tone when speaking wasn't good, but thinking about it, it made sense. Seeing that they had just been resurrected not long ago, and had been promised that their former partners would also be summoned back to the Lower World together...
As a result, the youth in front of them was just great. Upon discovering the resurrection of the Two-Headed Dragon, he completely changed his previous cautious appearance and turned directly into a reckless brute.
Anyone would find this unbearable.
Alise, on the other hand, patted her friend's shoulder after thinking for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Are you confident?"
Levi nodded. From beginning to end, the pace beneath his feet had never stopped.
"You..."
Gojouno Kaguya wanted to persuade him further.
But she was stopped by Alise: "Let's believe in Levi this once. He doesn't look like someone who would joke with his own life."
"Besides, aren't we here? Although we might not necessarily be able to defeat the Two-Headed Dragon, I still consider myself to have some grasp on saving him and bringing him back to the 28th Floor."
Seeing her good friend say this, what else could Gojouno Kaguya express?
She could only let out a helpless sigh, move her legs, and quickly catch up with the youth in front.
Under normal circumstances, considering the stability of the team, Levi actually wouldn't mind explaining his situation properly to Gojouno Kaguya—after all, he would always use many of his trump cards in the future.
But the Two-Headed Dragon that only respawned once a month might not necessarily give him this time.
No one knew when those medium and large Familias of Orario would run over to hunt it.
Fortunately, it shouldn't have been more than a day since Amphisbaena was spawned.
When the three-person squad appeared on the 27th Floor, they did not discover any teams currently engaging it in battle.
