5/5

"Lord Raven, is it true? I can level up now?" Meteria asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Raven gave a slight nod. "Once we're back, I'll update your Falna."

Alfia, hearing that, looked a bit surprised.

"No need for a Heroic Feat?"

"Don't forget—you guys aren't ordinary adventurers."

"…Understood."

"This is amazing! I can't believe I'm becoming a high-level adventurer!"

Meteria, overwhelmed with excitement, pulled Raven's head into her chest again.

However—

Since they were not "normal" people…

That also meant Meteria wouldn't receive a divine-given title from the gods.

Raven felt that was a bit of a shame.

…

Upon reaching the 22nd floor—

All monsters rushing them along the way were instantly annihilated by a single sonic burst from Alfia.

At that moment, far ahead in the sky within the corridor,

a swarm of monsters began to close in.

They were—

Killer Bees.

These bee-type monsters first appeared starting on the 22nd floor.

Each Killer Bee was over two meters long.

Its poisonous stinger could pierce even heavy armor in an instant.

A single hit could instantly kill a Level 2 adventurer.

Ordinary attacks simply bounced off the Killer Bees' hard outer shells.

In short, they were incredibly troublesome enemies.

Just like the Killer Ants—nicknamed "newbie killers" on the 7th floor—

Killer Bees were dubbed Elite Killers and were feared by even high-level adventurers.

Over fifty Killer Bees swarmed toward them, buzzing with deadly intent.

"Alfia, don't interfere."

"Let me handle them all at once."

Raven raised his Thousand-Feathered Wand, beginning a lengthy incantation of lightning magic.

"—O chaotic thunder that symbolizes destruction, O lightning that delivers the fear of judgment's end."

A massive cerulean-blue magic circle formed above his head.

Brilliant arcs of lightning surged around the wand.

"—Become light of divine retribution, form the blade of fury."

Within the magic circle, countless lightning swords—each over a meter long—materialized.

"—Break the chains of fate, shatter the stillness of eternity.

O Lord of Creation and Destruction, heed my vow:

reduce all to final nothingness."

"[Thunderplume Oblivion]."

The moment he finished chanting—

Countless lightning swords pierced through the air,

striking the Killer Bees with flawless precision.

Cerulean lightning exploded in a dazzling storm,

ravaging everything in its path.

BOOM!

Blinding arcs of lightning danced wildly through the smoke.

After a while, the smoke slowly dissipated.

The Killer Bees had all been reduced to ash, leaving behind only clusters of magic stones—

And three rare drop items: Bee Shells.

"Th-That was incredible…"

"So that's the power of a large-scale annihilation spell?"

Meteria stood frozen, her face filled with awe.

The ground ahead had been scorched pitch black, full of craters from the blasts.

"It's powerful, yeah. But it drains a lot of stamina and mana."

Raven took a deep breath.

"Help me gather the magic stones and drops."

"Yes, Lord Raven."

Raven then stored everything inside his item box.

Opening his Eye of Data, he checked his latest Falna status panel:

Name: Raven Eltharion

Level: Lv.2

Stats:

STR / SSS1752

END / SSS1673

DEX / SSS1698

AGI / SSS1898

MAG / SSS1999

Skills: Heavenly Demon Rampage, Demon Lord's Pressure, Sacred Demonic Palace, Outsider Golem

That was the current Falna displayed by the Eye of Data.

"Not bad."

"Didn't realize I was already this close to maxing out."

It was worth noting—

The two fake "Black Cat" and "Black Fist" adventurers from last night were around Level 3.

"Alfia, help me speed-farm EXP. My stats are nearly maxed."

"I don't think we even need to go deeper into the Dungeon."

"—Alright."

Just as Raven pulled out the bento Hestia had made and was about to eat—

A new wave of monsters surged from ahead.

This time, they were—

Mammoth Drudgers.

Monsters resembling mammoths, standing at 7 to 8 meters tall with pale crimson skin.

They were power-type beasts, and among the largest in the middle floors.

"—Gospel."

One sonic burst wiped out the entire group.

Among the loot was a massive ivory tusk that made Raven's eyes sparkle.

If he was right, that tusk alone was worth at least 500,000 valis.

Looked like today was going to be another big payday.

In the Dungeon—

The higher the floor, the more valuable the magic stones and drop items became.
