Looking out, all one can see is a flat surface, even less varied in elevation than a silicon wafer. The land, devoid of even a micrometer's undulation, stretches all the way to the horizon.
From the outside, it appears to be just a black sphere with a radius of 10 centimeters.
"Senior, the Fallen Demons' injuries have healed."
"The nest has swallowed us up; we have lost."
Mütter was about 5 meters away from the two of them, with his hands on his lower abdomen.
Her body was completely unharmed, showing no signs of injury.
He touched his face and realized that the blindfold had disappeared sometime during the night.
It might have been wiped away by the attack just now.
"It's really irritating; it's very impolite to casually lift a lady's veil."
She was only wearing tattered clothes, with her right side completely uncovered, revealing her plump, white thighs, arms, and the enormous treasure.
“I sent 38 people to Golden Township before, and with the two of you, we’ll have 40.”
Mütter stood gracefully, and a terrifying "creature" crawled out from behind her.
The giant skeleton had a hideous face, and its bones were silvery-white as if they were mirrors. Its bony arms held a scythe, and then all sorts of bizarre and demonic skeletons kept pouring out from around it, forming a picture of hell.
The two tuners, expressionless, channeled their magic—
Click.
The tuner using the nails felt his perspective rise as a silver scythe pierced his chest from behind, lifting him up and finally splitting him in two.
"The teleportation function... it really doesn't work. I never expected that the senior would die first."
The remaining tuner used the ring watch's camera function.
In that instant, countless demonic skeletons wielding scythes emerged from the darkness behind him, slashing the tuner to shreds.
With a cracking electronic sound, the space of the nest vanished.
Mütter felt a lightness as he stepped onto the soft grass.
She tiptoed behind a tree, and the next second—
A large pile of skeletal remains cut into strips appeared out of thin air, exploding like fireworks along with pink human body fragments, scattering everywhere.
Mütter came out, picked up the ring watch from the ground, used the tuner's finger to unlock the fingerprint lock, and discovered that his real photo had been uploaded to the internet.
"Ah... there's no other way, I'll have to go back to headquarters to rest for a while..."
She was saddened that she could no longer help others.
Using the 20 fruits from the previous sacred mission, the nest can be opened for 20 seconds.
Fortunately, the two tuners died quickly, giving Mute more time to escape after returning to the real world.
Thinking of the boy with hair as long as the night, Mutter didn't want to go to the Golden City so soon.
"May Izabillis bless us, and may we meet again, Mr. Wolf... Next time we meet, I'll give you a better-sounding pseudonym. Heh, heh, heh."
Mütter chuckled a few times, seemingly mockingly.
--------
"Hello!!"
"Sirocco, are you cold? Shall we go back...?"
"No, I think it's because some beautiful woman is thinking about me."
Sirocco checked the ring chart; there were no news reports yet of the tuners arresting members of the Fallen Order.
"...This time it's different from Maple Garden. This place is too gloomy, I don't really like it."
Cass felt a cold wind blowing behind him, making him shiver. It turned out that Sirocco had closed the door.
Looking at the map, this is Zone D on the second floor, which is quite deep and dangerous for Kas and Sirocco's current levels.
As night fell, the two changed back into their usual exploration gear to increase their agility after leaving the cave. They stealthily made their way forward, avoiding monsters they couldn't handle, and finally arrived at a place that resembled a church.
Inside, benches were scattered haphazardly, and a dilapidated, strange stone statue stood against the wall directly opposite. The only light source was a few candles burning with faint flames on the floor, and all four corners were shrouded in deep darkness.
"Sirocco, is that exclusive weapon you mentioned really here?"
"Yes, we'll have to wait here until midnight for the hidden area's maze passages to open."
"I see... By the way, do I really need the exclusive weapon? Actually, I don't really need it..."
"Since we're already here, it's too late to go back now. Alright, grab your weapons and leave. Trust me, it's not as difficult as you think."
I remember your "belief" is never a good thing...
Cass sighed inwardly. He had been looking forward to spending the night with Sirocco, like going on a vacation, but instead he almost got killed by a crazy woman.
However, Cass was more puzzled by the church at this moment.
The second floor is supposed to be the area of bull-shaped monsters, so why is there this kind of haunted building?
Unlike his tense self, Sirocco leisurely whistled, pushed aside a bench, cleared a space, and started a fire.
With a very bad feeling, Cass asked Sirocco in a low voice:
"Sirocco, are you planning to spend the night here?"
"Yeah, after all, I don't know exactly how long it will take. Anyway, this place has its own barrier... no, it should be said that there are ghosts floating around everywhere, forming a special protective place. No monsters will come here, so you can sleep soundly until dawn."
Who would want to sleep in such a haunted place!
Cass's face was ashen, and he hugged himself as if he were very cold.
"Hey, could we find somewhere else to spend the night?"
54. The Amateur Explorer's Destination (Double Update)
The bar in the Explorer's Lobby is located in a suite on the 8th floor.
8:31 in the evening.
Jade gulped down his ice-cold beer in one go, then slammed the glass down with a thud.
"Phew! Life is all about this one drink! Hey, Weiss, don't look so glum, this premium beer mixed with dragon oil is really delicious!"
With a cold expression, Weiss tried a little bit, and the refreshing, sweet and sour taste did indeed soothe her brows.
"...It's nice, but you didn't need to order so many ridiculously expensive dishes. Don't you know that you shouldn't flaunt your wealth?"
Besides beer, Jade also ordered a number of dishes exclusive to the Explorers' Hall.
These dishes are not only rich and delicious, but some of them also have a temporary buff effect that enhances energy, concentration, and luck.
Of course, it's really expensive; this meal costs as much as Jade and Weiss's combined monthly salaries.
"Of course I know. You see, I booked this exclusive VIP room so that other explorers wouldn't see us."
At this moment, Weiss and Jade were not wearing explorer's clothes, but proper formal dresses and suits.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and even a petite woman like Weiss looks quite feminine in a gown, paired with a crystal necklace and just the right amount of light makeup.
Jade also styled his hair in a slicked-back style, looking like a businessman when he was serious.
These clothes were rented in the commercial area of a nearby city, and they also included grooming and makeup.
He downed the drink in one gulp with great gusto:
"After this, I won't come to the dungeon anymore. I've made enough money, and I'm going to say goodbye to this deadly profession of explorer for good."
This meal marks the end of his life of hard work and retirement.
It symbolizes a farewell to a career as an explorer.
This is the general rule for amateur explorers: once they've had their fill of fun and made enough money, they leave the dungeon.
Although he almost died, the money he earned from this team far exceeded Jade's expectations.
Not only can they pay off their mother's medical expenses, but the remaining money will also be enough to buy a school district house outright.
No more sharing a dorm room with five grown men.
Weiss nudged his lips: "Then you shouldn't chase after women anymore, or you'll just waste money."
"After this incident, I'm not interested in mature women for a while... Oh right, by the way, Weiss, are you serious? That Mute with the big boobs..."
It belongs to the Fallen Order.
Before he could finish speaking, Weiss unleashed his strongest killing intent ever as he glared at Jade.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested in older women?"
"Sorry, never mind what I said. Hmm... this roasted ham smells delicious."
Although Jade had become more obedient, Weiss felt a little guilty and poured Jade a glass of wine:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. You were unconscious and didn't know anything, so it's normal that you didn't have any feelings for her."
"No, I'm actually a little scared afterward."
I saw the news on the lobby screen earlier: the tuners went to arrest him, but Mute escaped with serious injuries, and the tuners issued an arrest warrant for Mute.
