Chapter 7: No Pattern

Chapter 7: No Pattern

"How terrifying!!"

"Did we just poke a goblin's nest?!!!"

"Let's get out of here, don't stay here, or be careful of being targeted!!"

Messiah's commotion was naturally impossible to go unnoticed. At this moment, in a certain passage, a group of adventurers who witnessed this scene were scared out of their wits and fled in utter panic.

This group of adventurers, only a dozen in number, faced with hundreds of goblins that nearly formed an army, were utterly terrified. They dared not entertain any thoughts of resistance and only hoped to avoid getting involved.

Sssss!!!

The piercing sound of bodies being torn apart echoed continuously in the cave, ashes scattered in the air, and magic stone fragments silently fell to the ground.

In just a matter of seconds, under Messiah's assault, dozens of goblins turned to ashes at his hands.

Endless martial training, a physique five times that of an adult, and powerful equipment contributed to Messiah's formidable strength.

On this second level, Messiah's power could be said to be unmatched, with no real opponents.

The first level of the dungeon is a buffer zone, free of monsters. It is from the second level that monsters begin to appear.

Each level has its symbolic MONSTER, and goblins are the representative MONSTER of the second level of the dungeon, where they appear most densely, the level where Messiah currently is.

Goblins also appear on other levels, but very rarely.

As one of the most basic monsters, goblins are very weak. Even adventurers who have just become ADVANTURE can kill them with caution.

For a creature of such strength, there was no suspense for Messiah, who possessed the power to dominate the upper levels.

Even in the hundreds, it was the same.

In just a matter of minutes, the goblins lured out from their spawning ground by Messiah were all annihilated by his knight's sword.

Messiah remembered goblins as cunning creatures with not insignificant intelligence, but the goblins he encountered this time were the complete opposite, almost like a group of idiots.

In the face of Messiah's effortless slaughter, not a single goblin showed any sign of fear. Their eyes lacked any rationality, filled only with a brutal, bloodthirsty red.

The death of many companions did not deter them; instead, it incited their ferocity, making them even more brutal and frenzied.

For creatures with intelligence, like the Minotaur, upon seeing such a powerful enemy casually slaughtering their companions, they would have been scared off long ago, not staying in place waiting to be killed, let alone charging forward one after another.

Just like in the original story, when the Loki Familia encountered that incident, the two Amazon sisters killed two Minotaurs with their bare hands, and the rest of the Minotaurs fled en masse.

"Phew, finally finished them all!!!" Wiping the sweat from his face, Messiah took a deep breath.

Then, without a word, he began picking up the magic stone fragments on the ground.

With so many goblins, it took Messiah over five minutes just to collect the fragments.

After collecting them, Messiah shook the heavy bag in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, his gaze swept over the cave, and he looked puzzled.

"I could check in on the first level, but there's no prompt on this second level. What's the principle here?"

"Is it only possible to check in on the first level, or is there some kind of pattern?"

Messiah had thought that it was possible to check in on every level of the dungeon, but now it seemed that things were not as he had imagined.

"Indeed, if that were the case, it would be too outrageous. There are many levels in the dungeon, and the number of confirmed levels has already reached 59."

"With so many levels, and the possibility of repeated check-ins, that would be too exaggerated." Shaking his head slightly, Messiah didn't dwell too much on this issue.

After tying the bag of magic stone fragments to his equipment around his waist, Messiah rested on the spot for a few minutes before setting off again.

During this time, the dungeon did not produce any more monsters to attack Messiah, making his rest quite smooth.

Time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, Messiah had already spent over eight hours in the dungeon.

During this time, he had been active on the second level of the dungeon and had not entered the third level.

Although the monsters on the second level were powerless against Messiah, he did not disdain them for it.

This was better for him; Messiah came to the dungeon to become stronger, not to be specifically abused.

After spending more than eight hours in the dungeon, Messiah ended his first dungeon journey and began the journey back to the surface.

...

"What's wrong, Eina, you look pale." At the guild's work counter, Misha, who was carrying a stack of documents, looked at her friend with concern and asked.

Today at work, her friend had been distracted several times.

Several times, she was caught off guard by adventurers coming for business and was scolded a couple of times.

"Hmm?" Called out by her friend, Eina, who was in a daze, immediately snapped back to reality, quickly shook her head, and smiled, "It's nothing, just thinking about some things."

"Things?"

"Did I hear you've become an adventurer's consultant again? Are you worried about the adventurer you're responsible for?" Upon hearing this, Misha asked.

"Yes, it's Messiah's first time entering the dungeon, and he doesn't have a senior leading him, so I'm a bit worried," Eina replied without hiding anything.

"I see, a newcomer on his own, that is indeed worrisome."

"But, Eina, this kind of thing is common, you don't need to take it to heart. Since they've chosen to become adventurers, they need to be responsible for their actions. You don't need to pay for their choices," Misha then shook her head and advised before leaving.

Hearing this, Eina fell silent, her eyes flickering, seemingly deep in thought.

The setting sun shone through the window onto the counter, casting a shadow. Eina, who had been looking down, saw the shadow on the counter and quickly adjusted her attitude, putting on a professional smile as she spoke.

"May I help you with anything?"

"Eh!! Messiah!!"
