DN : [143] I'll Go First!
🕑 Added 2024-04-03 16:00:15 +0000 UTCWatching the struggling minotaur in the grasp of the shadow claw, August narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the original work, there was indeed a powerful black minotaur, initially trained by Ottar to help Bell undergo a transformation.
Now, due to August's chaotic influence on the storyline, none of that happened.
August couldn't figure out where this black minotaur came from. Perhaps it was just a product of the storyline's inertia, giving birth to this monster.
*ROOOOOAR*
"Kill you!"
This Minotaur continued to struggle and roar, but in August's ears, it turned into two words.
"Regardless of what you are, if you want to kill me, you must at least be my equal. Your strength is too weak. So, reincarnate and continue to grow stronger, strong enough to kill me."
A calm and indifferent voice echoed, and at that moment, the minotaur, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped.
In this moment, a man and a minotaur faced each other.
August smiled, enough to confirm that this minotaur possessed intelligence, a Xenos
Although Xenos had intelligence, not all of them could speak.
"Goodbye, Minotaur."
Splat~
The shadow blade came rushing, cutting off the minotaur's head.
The black minotaur turned into ashes, leaving only a magic stone.
Looking at the dungeon he was in, August's gaze appeared somewhat solemn.
In Orario, there was a saying that the dungeon was alive, and all monsters were the dungeon's children.
August didn't know if this was true, but within the dungeon, there was an independent set of rules, including the reincarnation of monsters.
After a monster was killed, it would reincarnate and be born again from the dungeon.
Repeating endlessly, with no end in sight.
"What's wrong?"
Tsubaki, seeing August standing still, couldn't help but walk over.
"Nothing, just thinking about something."
Putting aside all the chaotic elements, the most important thing now was the expedition, everything else didn't matter.
Tsubaki didn't ask more because she knew that if it was necessary, August would tell her.
It was at this moment that Bell and Lili approached.
"Thank you, big bro, for saving me again."
"Hmph, it's been a month already, and you don't seem to have gotten much stronger."
"I'm not you, big bro. I don't have the talent you do."
"Don't give me that look, making it seem like I did something to you."
As he spoke, August continued to ruffle Bell's head, turning her hair into a mess.
Lili, on the side, looked at the scene with envy. She admired Bell's luck to have such a big brother. Although he often bullied her, most of the time, he treated her well.
"Big bro, are you going to the lower levels of the dungeon?"
"No, we're heading to the deep layers, the deepest."
"The deepest?"
"The Fifty nine floor."
"F-Fifty nine?"
"We're on an expedition."
"Expedition?"
Seeing Bell's clueless look, August felt speechless. Maybe bringing her along as a lil bro not as a lil sis was a mistake.
"Lady Bell, an expedition is when a familia explores the depths of the dungeon as a unit. However, the only familia in all of Orario capable of reaching the 59th floor is the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia."
"Is that so? That's amazing."
"Enough, wake up. You two go back, we're still on an expedition."
"I understand, big bro."
Bell nodded, she wasn't the type to make a fuss.
With the death of the minotaur, the expedition team naturally continued.
However, as a privileged class, August had some privileges. Everyone continued to move forward, not going too far, leaving time for August to catch up with the main group.
Seeing Bell off with a wave, August caught up with the main group.
Looking at August's figure, Bell's eyes were full of envy. She also wanted to become strong enough to explore the deeper layers of the dungeon.
...
After half a day, the group finally arrived at the first stop of this expedition, the 18th floor.
Here, Finn and others had been waiting for a long time.
Upon arrival, August took out the tent and other items stored with him. The logistics team then started working.
Soon, a camp appeared on the 18th floor, and dinner was being prepared.
The meeting of the two teams signaled that the real expedition would begin early tomorrow morning.
It was still afternoon, and since there were people to handle both major and minor matters, August had some free time.
He directly came to a pond, undressed, and jumped into the water.
Since coming to Orario, this was August's first time swimming.
"Tomorrow is the expedition, today, I'm going to have a good time playing."
"Always playing, every day."
"Alright, Miss Tiona, Miss Tione, stop arguing."
"Your familia is really interesting. The atmosphere is so good."
A woman's voice came over, and August felt speechless. He never expected to encounter such a situation.
Soon, several people walked out of the woods, Ais, Lefiya, Tione, Tiona, and Tsubaki.
"This spot is mine. Find another place."
Just as the girls were preparing to undress and enter the water, August's voice rang out.
They were startled, looking up, and saw August sitting by the large rock in the pond, with his body soaking in the water.
"August, what are you doing here? Put some clothes on."
Tiona spoke loudly, trying to take the initiative.
"You figure it out. I was here first. If you want to argue, it's because you all saw me naked. I'm the one at a disadvantage here."
"You!"
She wanted to retort, but she couldn't because it was indeed August who arrived first.
"This spot is taken. If you want to bathe, find another place."
"Why? This is the biggest pond, and the location here is the best."
"I was here first."
"Why are you like this? We're girls, you know."
"Heh~"
August disdainfully turned his head away. What if they were girls? Did that mean boys had to give up their space for them?
August had a stubborn temperament. If you argued with him, he would give you no respect.
