The same thing is happening in this bottomless darkness.

The Loki clan is coming, and the news alarms everyone.

"Lord Baca, Lord Valetta has asked me to inform you that thieves are about to invade this realm that you and your great ancestors have built, and I ask you to assist the god of Tanatos in the fight against the coming enemy."

The black-robed man found the figure who was supposed to be the owner of this place in the deepest part of the earth, intending to invite him out.

“…… Time is already limited, why bother me? ”

The man, whose eyes were sunken and pale with a pale expression, stopped his hand that was constantly digging the wall, and lamented unpleasantly, and then had to get up and go to the hall where the stone pedestal was located.

"Hey, aren't you going to make a move?"

And Valetta, who gave several instructions to ask for help, went to another space, looked at the last target she was looking for, and made such an inquiry.

"Click."

Instead of answering Valetta's question in the first place, the man bit down on the magic stone that had been sent to his mouth.

Behind her, the remains of monsters were gradually turning to ashes due to the loss of the magic stones that were the foundation of existence.

The red-haired freak turned her back to the many dead who had died under her sword, coldly nibbling on the spoils she had plucked from them.

"Let's go."

It wasn't until she chewed the magic stone in her mouth and swallowed it that Reveta said something lightly to Valetta.

"It's time."

As she spoke, Revirose threw Valetta an object.

“…………！”

Looking at the item in her hand, Valreta's pupils shrank.

"For you." Revith didn't look at Valetta, but continued to say lightly: "Don't use it if you're afraid of death, just use it when you're about to die, as for whether it can succeed, it depends on your own creation." ”

“…… Why give me this? Valetta held the object in her hand, glared at Revis, and said, "Could it be that "she" has been eyeing me for a long time?" ”

"Of course not." Rui Wei said without hesitation: "This is a decision that "she" only made recently. ”

"She" told me that there was one more thing besides Arya that "she" wanted.

"It's an investment she's made for that thing, and you can understand that she's now in need of more tentacles to fulfill her wishes."

The red-haired weirdo said such things without sorrow or joy, which made Valetta speechless.

"And what does "she" want?"

Valetta asked.

"I don't know."

Reviss replied in this way.

"What?"

Valetta glared at Revis again.

"Don't look at me like that, I really don't know." Revith still looked sad and joyless, and said, "I only know that it happened after the Loki clan returned from the 59th floor. ”

"Something happened on the 59th floor that day, causing her to set her sights on something."

"I could feel that 'she' wanted that thing as much as 'she' wanted Arya, and even in a way 'she' seemed to want the former even more."

With that, Revis glanced at Valetta as if to say that was all she had said.

"I don't know what that thing is, so I'm not going to look for it."

"My target is still Arya, at most plus that man, if you want to use this thing, then I advise you, it's better to think about it."

"After all, she found so many people, and only me, Olivas, and Yeen succeeded."

With such words, Revis left the place directly.

"Where are you going?"

Valetta asked subconsciously.

"Go where you want me to go."

The red-haired weirdo vanished and stepped into the battlefield that she had not seen for a long time.

Valetta was the only one left, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the object in her hand—a colorful magic stone.

After a moment, Valetta's face twisted.

"As long as you can take revenge on that damn [Brave], what if you become a monster?"

Valetta, who was so determined, put away the colorful magic stone and turned away as well.

The forces of darkness are ready, just waiting for the enemy to come to their door.

…………

In the underground waterways, the sudden encounter has come to an end.

"Bang!"

As the last of the man-eating flowers crashed to the ground and smashed into the gutter, a huge splash exploded in the sewer.

Rige, Ace, and Refia each stood in different positions, surrounded by countless man-eating flowers.

They were either dismantled or frozen into ice, and their deaths were extremely miserable, and it didn't take long for them to dissipate into ashes, leaving behind only colorful magic stones and a slightly dilapidated battlefield, telling others that there had indeed been a one-sided melee here.

"Huh?"

Rig, who was about to put his sword back into its sheath, suddenly sensed something, turned his head, and looked in one direction.

That direction is exactly where the gemstone (eye) is inlaid.

At this moment, it was as if Rig had been outside the grain depot on the 24th floor, and through the invisible eye, he was looking at the presence that was watching here.

It's just that, unlike last time, this time Rieg didn't feel the slightest hint of retreating, but stared at him directly, as if he was deliberately provoking.

“…………”

Rig didn't speak, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

That's interesting, isn't it?

"Mr. Riger? What are you thinking? ”

At this moment, Refia's voice reached Rige's ears, and he came back to his senses.

I saw that Ace and Refia, who had finished the battle, both came to his side, one looking at him silently, and the other with a face full of concern.

"I didn't think about anything." Rig shook his head, not stating what he was aware of, but saying, "There are man-eating flowers here, which means that we are looking in the right direction." ”

"The enemy is indeed here."

"We're on enemy territory, be careful."

Hearing this, Ace and Refia nodded in unison, their expressions a little tense.

"Let's go, this way."

Rig continued to lead the way, leaving Ace and Refia behind him in the direction of the cannibal attack.

The three of them raised their vigilance, no longer let go of their weapons, and moved forward cautiously.

They walked through the rusty, apparently long-lived double-opened iron gates, and walked up a stone bridge over a ditch, and followed the stone bridge.

After going on like this for a while, Rieg suddenly stopped.

"There are stairs."

Rig pointed ahead of a fork in the waterway.

"Stairs?"

Ace and Refia hurriedly looked over, and then found a passage that opened in the floor and covered it like a hole.

The lid on the passage slipped open, revealing a wide staircase that stretched downwards so large that even the man-eating flowers could enter and exit freely.

Ace and Refia were keenly aware that there were traces similar to dragging, and that there wasn't much dust.

What does this mean?

“…… There are people who come and go here a lot. ”

Ace whispered something like this.

"People?" Refia hesitated a little, and said cautiously, "Isn't it a monster?" ”

"There are people, and there are monsters." Rige gave the correct answer, saying, "I have finally found the enemy's base camp." ”

Rig immediately walked there, down the stairs, all the way down.

Ace silently followed, so that the nervous Refia could only follow hard.

The trio descended a stone staircase with a distinctly different structure from the underground sewer, eventually discovering a door at the very bottom.

A huge metal door with a height of more than three meters, a silver body, and a red orb, stood in front of Rig, Ace, and Refia.

Looking at this door, both Ace and Refia were a little shocked.

No way.

"The material of this door ......"

"Is it ......?"

The two of them had already seen the composition of the huge door in front of them.

But it was precisely because they saw it that the two of them would be shocked there.

Only Li Ge stared fixedly at the red orb on the door, and only spoke after a while.

"This is it."

Rieg spoke slowly.

"Let's go, let's inform everyone."

…………

Two hours later, in front of the huge metal door, dozens of heavily armed adventurers gathered here.

"Looks like it's here."

Finn made this declaration after observing for a while.

"I'm glad you found this place."

Theogne, who was standing beside Finn, looked at the three leading the way, half admiring, half dumbfounded.

"No, it's not our credit......"

"It's the way Rieg leads."

Refia and Ace spoke out one after another, putting the credit on Rige.

Rig didn't speak, just smiled.

On the contrary, it was Diona, who was spinning around in front of the door, and she spoke out as if she was a little uncertain.

"By the way, the material used to build this door seems to be oralcum, right?"

As for Iona's uncertain statement, as a dwarf who is good at earth and stone engineering, Grace gave it a positive answer.

"It's incredible, but it's really oralcum, and it's a whole door."

Hearing this, everyone present was speechless.

“…… Those stinky ditch rats who only dare to crawl in the sewers, where did they find so many oriches? ”

Bert smacked his lips and said what was on everyone's minds.

Orichalcum, also known as Olihagang, is known as the hardest metal of ultra-rare materials, and the world's highest grade of precious weapon materials.

It is the main material for many highest-level weapons, and it is also an indispensable material for many special weapons, such as Rieger's Sword of Fools, Ace's Sword of Despair, and Tsubaki's Roland series of weapons for the first-level adventurers of the Loki clan.

Orichalcum is incredibly hard, and even if it is not processed, it can make it difficult for almost all first-level adventurers to leave a trace on it.

Now, there is a huge door that is more than three meters high and is made of this precious metal.

It's ...... The trenches are inhumane.
