Chapter 129: Ace's Request
The horse charm was also the first of its kind among the many powers Roland possessed.
In terms of the performance of the ability, although it looks very similar to healing, and the expression is similar to the Crazy Diamond, this ability is much stronger in terms of range and strength.
The essence of this divine power is to dispel external forces in the user's body.
Injuries, breakages, and even curses can be removed, and its activation itself means many things.
"Is this hedron still infectious?"
The contrast between the crystal dust that looks beautiful is actually a deadly poison, and this irony is very Cheelling's style.
Roland raised Esther in his hand, causing the divine light to spread out and destroy all the dust around him.
Although the Pactling is still nowhere to be seen, the tokens created through the dungeons have revealed a lot to Roland.
As the Demon Destroyer Holy Sword, Esther also has the power to lift the spell and devour the curse, as long as it is related to these two aspects, it is impossible for her to have no reaction at all, and even as a foreign object, her protection should be launched before the horse charm.
Therefore, for the true face of that purple crystal, Roland also has a guessing direction.
"Product ...... on the side of science and technology"
Just as Roland was pondering, a delicate voice sounded from behind.
"That's amazing!"
Tiona's voice rang out in the distance, and she shouted with excitement as she rushed towards Roland with the momentum of a raging wave, but the other figure was even better than her.
Ace, who had gorgeous hair like a fairy, came to Roland's side with a light and swift step, her clear eyes as clear as water quietly stared at Roland unscathed, expressing her concern in her unique way.
"Ah, Ace, so cunning!"
Theona, who was a step later than Ace, also generously squeezed to Roland's side, looking at Roland and Esther in his hand with curiosity.
"Is this the weapon that the fairy spirit has conjured? It's so beautiful, and it's much more powerful than those magic swords or something, Roland, what was that move just now......"
With each word, Tiona and Roland got closer and closer, and by the end, the girl was already holding Roland's free arm.
Luckily, Finn and the others also came.
"Tiona, calm down, you've crossed the line."
Hearing Riveria's warning, Tiona's cheeks also bulged, but she didn't dare to disobey Riveria, who was usually nicknamed 'mother' in the family, and reluctantly let go of her hand.
"It doesn't matter, Esther's strength doesn't have anything to hide anyway,"
Roland didn't care, although it was taboo to listen to the adventurer's ability, but he could feel that the other party was full of kindness, Tiona was only like this because of her straightforward personality and wanting to know a little more about the person she liked, not to mention, it was difficult to hide Esther's ability, if Roland didn't care about magic, it would not be difficult to release the sword light that destroyed the city.
"That's right, no matter what kind of equipment you have, you can't be hostile to the fairy spirits, right...... However, it's better to be cautious, in addition to those who admire heroes, there are also many guys in this dungeon who want to pull heroes off the altar. β
Looking at such a casual Roland, Finn was also a little crying and laughing, but he suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart and gave a reminder.
"Really?"
Roland raised an eyebrow, looking unconcerned, and instead asked another question.
"Speaking of which, the purple crystal on that Goliath just now, have you seen something similar to it in the depths before?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying...... I haven't seen it in monsters...... But when I returned from the last expedition, I saw this similar purple crystal on a wounded adventurer, but it was not serious, the coverage area was much smaller, and the color of the crystal was much darker and cloudier than that of Goliath. β
"This news really makes people laugh, it seems that this thing is contagious, and there is no need to say more."
"Well, we'll deal with it carefully in the future, but I don't know if this will happen to the subsequent floor owners and monsters, it seems that we have to report to the guild quickly, there must be something serious going on in the depths."
Unexpectedly, an expedition to detect anomalies suddenly turned into a precursor to an unmanageable crisis, which made Finn's face always smiling become worried.
But as the head of the regiment, he quickly cleaned up his mood and looked at the magic stone behind Roland.
"What are you going to do with that thing next, the magic stone dropped by the floor master is already quite a lot of wealth, do you plan to drag it back to the guild directly to deal with it first, or enter the eighteenth floor with us first, although it will be a little cheaper than the guild, but it will be much more convenient."
"Let's go to the eighteenth floor first, I'm also a little curious about the current situation on the security floor,...... As for this thing, let's put it away first. β
Roland waved his hand, causing the pitch-black shadow to spread underneath the magic stone, engulfing it in a fluctuation.
"It's ......"
Compared to Roland's strength, Finn's face was shaken even more when he saw this magic similar to storage space, but he finally didn't say anything, laughing and ignoring it.
"So, let's get ready to go to the eighteenth floor."
ββ
After passing through the sloping cavern, the tense faces of the members of the Loki clan finally eased, and even the core members of Tiona breathed a sigh of relief.
"We're here, and this is the safe floor."
In this terrifying dungeon, in addition to the special floor that will generate the owner of the floor, there will also be a so-called security floor, where monsters will not actively spawn.
But this kind of security is not absolute, after all, there is still the possibility of breaking into monsters from other floors.
But even so, it was an integral part of Olarie's expedition.
The further down you go, the more intricate the area and labyrinth of the dungeon become, and when you reach the depths, it is possible that the area of one floor will surpass the entire Oralie, and it will take a lot of time to simply explore.
Without these safe floors to recuperate, relax, and replenish some necessary supplies, no matter how strong a person is, he or she would not be able to sustain himself on his own.
As a result, the original guild planned to create a stronghold on the safe floor, but this plan was put on hold due to the high cost of the occasional monster attack.
After all, at this level, at least lv2 adventurers are needed to act as security and maintenance, plus the transportation of materials from the surface to here, even for the guild that earns money every day, it is too extravagant.
However, their plans were not completely wasted, and the adventurers spontaneously formed a temporary town on the basis of the guild's rudiments, with no clear order and laws, and its special location as the first trading and rest center in the dungeon, resulting in very expensive consumption.
Both basic food and weapons are far better than the ground, which is a compliment to describe as a black market, but it is also for this reason that there are quite a lot of contraband sold here.
While thinking about this information, Roland did not take a step towards the eighteenth-story town, but looked at the breathtaking scenery in front of him.
There were no labyrinths or walls, only an upside-down bowl-like rock wall topped with crystals that glowed as warm as the sun.
The ocean of crystals is the heavenly dome that belongs to the eighteen layers.
"The sky here also changes its brightness according to the time of day, and the scenery is different in the morning, noon, and night, so people have always thought of it as a small world."
Seeing Roland's expression so interested, Tiona explained enthusiastically.
"yes, that's amazing."
After coming to this world, Roland rarely let out a look of admiration and showed a look of enjoyment.
"After all, if the dungeon weren't so wonderful, it wouldn't be able to attract the gods to the lower realm and create new myths."
Tiona nodded in agreement.
Roland didn't answer Theona's words, just quietly admired the scene.
Rather than saying that this dungeon is life, it is more appropriate to describe it as a world that is growing little by little, and the accumulation of one world is really not enough, and it is wonderful to embark on this journey.
Compared to the ordinary reality, in the many incredible worlds, there will always be new and strange beings that can inspire you.
As an individual, he has transcended many things, and he is more and more able to understand why Dio, who has the ability to rule the world after his recovery, still retreats into Egypt, seeking an encounter and a path to heaven.
Because at that time, what he really wanted was not to rule the world, which could not satisfy him and make him feel at ease.
What he wants to defeat, and even surpass, is the indescribable fate.
Yes, the fundamental purpose of reaching heaven is to transcend destiny and transcend this world.
"Secret Whisper......
Roland let out a low groan, faintly aware in his heart.
He raised his head and showed a bright smile towards this wonderful world, revealing a bit of truth, and the things contained in that smile made Ace, who had been looking at Roland, stunned, compared to the hero who was out of reach, no matter how hard she tried to get closer, but always felt that the distance was more distant, and now Roland gave her a bit of a real feeling.
She couldn't bear the throbbing in her heart any longer, and pulled Roland to the side.
"Eh, Ace!"
Not even bothering to find a reason, the blonde girl ran towards the town with Roland, because the agility of both of them was better than that of Tiona, and in a surprise she could only watch the figures of the two get farther and farther away.
"Alright, Tiona, even if it's fair play, it's in order."
Theogne hugged her sister and looked at Ace with some amazement.
"Ace is the first to get in touch with Roland, it's rare for that child to be so close to her, just give her a chance."
"Hmm......"
Tiona pursed her lips in frustration, but eventually gave up on the idea of catching up.
Since the town itself was not guarded, after a few minutes of walking, Ace quickly led Roland to a remote alley.
"So, what are you going to do, Ace?"
Roland looked at Ace with some doubts, and after hearing his words, Ace's golden eyes also flickered slightly, and her delicate and expressionless face, like a puppet, also showed a few wisps of panic, and the tips of her ears were unconsciously dyed a touch of crimson.
The air fell silent like this, and finally, the girl raised her head and said with a serious expression.
"Roland, can you take your clothes off?"
βοΌβ
Such straight words made Roland stunned, but Roland soon realized Ace's true purpose.
"You want to see my stats, don't you? I can tell you directly. β
Roland had an indescribable expression, and without hesitation, he told her what Ace wanted to hear.
And after listening, Ace's expression was completely stunned.
She just looked at Roland in a daze, as if she was really just a doll, and her flat face was filled with surprise.
Roland didn't urge, but admired Ace's body openly.
Slender and energetic thighs, slender waist, and the delicate collarbone next to the soft body that is beginning to take shape, after a while, Ace, who is unaware of her appearance, slowly comes back to her senses, but she is still a little trance, and her delicate face looks a little dull.
She just stared at Roland, with an expression that wanted to say something and stopped, but in the end, she still gave such words.
"How can I become as strong as you?"
"Like me?"
Roland fell into deep thought, ashamed to say that he was no match for Ace in terms of effort.
The easiest way to do this is, of course, to open a hanging, and the Key to All Souls is the starting point for him to get to where he is now. However, for Ace, this matter is quite difficult, unless Roland helps her. Whether it is the power obtained by forcibly converting with black mud pollution, or directly giving her a part of the demonic energy, it can meet her requirements to become stronger, but this is not the right way, at least not now.
What has supported me until now, it must be that.
"How about finding a vision and desire to give everything to it? Although I didn't agree with this before, now I think from the bottom of my heart that the spirit and the state of the heart are very important. β
"Vision?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's someone or something, but upgrading is actually the best way to go."
The convenience and potential of the favor are recognized by Roland, although he didn't see the back, but Roland remembers that Ace's upgrade is still quite smooth......
Such an answer made the burning Ace subconsciously lower her head a little, not letting Roland see her gaze, but the flush on the tips of her ears still did not fade.
In the end, she nodded earnestly.
"Thank you, but I can't find a possibility outside of the upgrade for the time being."
After a simple thank-you, her eyes widened slightly, and she slowly turned around as if she had made up her mind, and her delicate face was slightly red.
Wait, this atmosphere?
Roland watched Ace turn around with some hindsight, skillfully unfastening the light armor and the buttons of the upper body, letting it slide down the girl's fair and smooth skin.
The girl's white skin was illuminated by the crystal light, and it was as lustrous as jade, and the sacred words engraved on it not only did not destroy this beauty, but added a bit of mysterious temperament.
"I'm at the top."
Ace spoke in a calm tone about her current situation, her full stats had been stagnant for a long time and had not grown.
"But I want to be stronger, so I ......"
Then, in a shy but serious tone, the girl made a request to Roland.
"βplease, please guide me."
