Chapter 41: Chapter 41 - Astraea Family
The next morning, after washing up, Link had some bread in his mouth and was wearing a suit of armor.
"Look at the time; Goliath should freshen up too. Let's go meet up with old friends today, okay?"
"If it's just the three of us, will there be any danger?"
"No problem. After this period of hard work, Olga, both of our skills have improved a lot compared to before. What's more, with the addition of Asagi, we'll use this guy to enhance our experience in the future."
Link put on the armor, stuffed all the pieces of bread into his mouth, drank another glass of milk, then patted his belly and said, "Last time, we were bullied a lot, and this time it's our turn to avenge our shame."
"Yes."
After placing Gae Dearg on his back, Link thought for a moment, then took out Asauchi and tied it around his waist.
The three people who were ready headed toward the dungeon.
...
"Adventurer-sama! Kind-hearted Adventurer-sama!"
At the entrance of the dungeon, Link, Olga, and Asagi had just arrived when they heard shouts beside them.
Turning around, he saw it was the little support pallum they had met yesterday.
That Liliruka?
Link stopped, and she came running with a large backpack on her back.
"What's wrong?"
"Kind adventurer! Do you need support?"
"Sorry, no need."
Link shook his head and refused directly.
Whether it's magic stones or dropped items, he can place them in the system space, so he doesn't need support to carry them.
Also, in the original work, this pallum initially hurt Bell but was later redeemed and then tried her best to repay him. Although she is said to be a good person, she is not actually, but her nature isn't bad.
It was mainly caused by the 'Soma Familia' she was currently in.
In "Parasites," it is said that money is like iron; it can smooth out people without wrinkles.
If she had money and had not been forced by her fellow family members, she would not have done the things in the original work.
However, although Link doesn't hate this character, he can't say that he likes her either.
It's better to do less than to do more. Link originally wanted to refuse.
But at that moment, Link thought about it.
After finishing off Goliath, he would have to go down to see the situation behind the 18th floor. It would be nice if there was someone to show him the way.
He immediately asked, "Do you know the situation on the 18th floor and the floors behind it?"
Liliruka, who previously looked lonely and was about to leave, immediately laughed happily upon hearing these words.
"Liliruka knows! I've gone down there with other adventurers before!"
"Then follow us, and I'll let you lead the way."
"Good! Thank you, adventurer. Liliruka will definitely do a great job of showing us the way!"
...
Not much energy was wasted along the way, mainly because this time, with Asagi helping to take care of the back row and protecting Olga, Link was able to do his best to deal with those monsters without having to allocate energy to look back and forth.
Link rushed forward single-handedly, and the surging green sword energy slashed out.
Wherever the sword energy passed, all the monsters were cut in two. Liliruka watched as Link calmly walked through the dungeon, seemingly unconcerned about the monsters in front of them. All the monsters that appeared were killed in one blow.
Simple and effective light strikes.
Like a leisurely stroll.
Considering the strength behind it.
Furthermore, it is rumored that the weapon he actually possesses is the blood-red spear he wears slung across his back.
In other words, he hasn't used his full strength yet.
It was Liliruka's first time experiencing such a relaxing adventure.
.
In the past, if she wanted to be a follower, she not only needed to find an adventurer willing to share their fortune, but she also had to ensure her own safety during the adventure.
After all, after encountering a monster, those adventurers might not have enough time to take care of themselves, let alone protect her.
Some adventurers would even deliberately use their supporters as bait or utilize them to cut off the rear and escape to save their own lives.
It can be said that.

It can be said that Liliruka has found it quite difficult to survive until now.
This is the first time Liliruka has found herself in such a relaxed situation.
Just like when playing a game, in the bronze round, a boss king directly puts the monsters down.
'What are you doing standing up? Just stand still and go! '
"By the way, we don't know each other well yet. My name is Link, from the Hestia Familia. She's Olga, a mage, and she's Asagi, a swordsman."
"What's your name?"
Link asked with a smile as he easily killed a saber-toothed tiger that appeared beside him.
"I... Adventurer-sama, my name is Liliruka, and I'm from the Soma Familia."
"Well then, I'll take care of you on the way forward, Liliruka."
Even though Link knew it in his heart, he still pretended to ask.
Link released three sword energies in succession, and more than a dozen monsters that had just emerged from the stone wall were torn apart in an instant.
The dungeon fell silent again.
Under Link's powerful attack, the three of them quickly reached the 17th floor.
"Bang!"
The loud sound of a giant hammer hitting the ground came from ahead.
This voice was all too familiar to Olga.
She frowned and said to Link, "Are you late? It seems Goliath has already faced someone."
"Let's go take a look. If it's settled, let's head to the 18th floor and the floors beyond this time."
"Okay."
The trophies generated by killing monsters in the dungeon usually belong to the killer.
Therefore, adventurers often have a tacit understanding regarding the situation of "raiding monsters."
If they see an adventurer fighting in one place, they should move away and go to the other side without interfering or participating, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
Therefore, after discovering that someone was already facing Goliath, Link was no longer prepared to "grab monsters."
After all, they were one step too late; they could only wait until the next time. The four of them simply stood in a corner of the cave from a distance, watching this not-so-glorious battle.
It seemed that this was a full team of members, with more than ten people in total, all of whom were girls.
The leader was a red-haired girl holding a longsword.
"These people seem to be from the Astraea Familia," Lily blinked and said to Link.
"Astraea Familia? That goddess of justice?" Link also looked at these girls curiously.
No wonder he hadn't seen Ryuu in 'Hostess of Fertility' before; it seems these girls aren't dead yet.
Before the main chapter of the original work began, all the girls from the Astraea Familia died from the enhanced species 'Juggernaut,' except for Ryuu, who was lucky enough to survive.
As a result, Ryuu collapsed for a while and fell into revenge. It seems the time hasn't come yet. The red-haired girl in the lead should be the leader Alise Lovell, but she seems to be only LV.3, and she and her family members are constantly fighting Goliath.
Link remembered that when the original Alise died, she should have been at LV.4.
After using the skill 'Lubrude Bequia,' she was almost at LV.5. So now it seems like there should be quite a bit of time left.
"Bang!"
The clenched giant fist struck like a heavy hammer; Alise easily dodged it and, at the same time, cut off the opponent's arm with her sword.
Meanwhile, Kaguya on the other side wielded her tachi, instantly severing Goliath's right leg.
The monster crashed to the ground.
"It doesn't feel as strong as the one we faced back then."
Link sighed, and Olga nodded slightly.
The one they encountered last time was not only more flexible but could also emit shockwaves.
Goliath's strength definitely surpassed LV.4 and reached LV.5. But now, this one can only punch with its fists, suggesting it may only be around LV.4. There seems to be no comparison.
Seeing the huge monster in front of them fall, Alise and the others relaxed.
At that moment, the monster suddenly raised its upper body and struck at the magicians in the back row, who had only dared to approach after it fell.
Did it really want to take one of them down before dying?!
It roared and struck hard, hitting the heads of the two magicians like a giant hammer!
"No! Ryanna! Maryuu! Get out of the way!"
Alise rushed toward the two who were still stunned, but the heavy blow had already been delivered.
"Boom!!"
