Suspicion!

Chapter 82

Following the fast-paced exploration of the dungeon, Sirius can still gain something from battling monsters from the middle floors, but Raul will have minimal improvement.

Sirius removed Bugbears first, then slowly started dealing with the flying Gun Libellulas.

"The next wave of monsters is coming! Sirius, pay attention!" Raul warned and prepared himself for battle.

Middle floors rarely give adventurers time to rest unless it is a safe zone like the 18th floor.

Only a few minutes after clearing the last batch of monsters, another group of monsters emerged from the dungeon.

There are usually ten monsters in a group. When adventurers have difficulty dealing with them, the dungeon ruthlessly adds another group of monsters. Therefore, adventurers guessed that the dungeon was conscious.

In Large Tree Labyrinth, it is rare to see monsters with weapons. The monsters born here have either strong physiques and sharp claws or flexible skills with long-range attack methods.

These monsters are best hunters themselves, even without weapons.

"Don't worry, brother. I can still take care of these monsters for the time being~"

Sirius stepped aside to dodge an attack from a bugbear. Then, he used the tip of his spear to plunge into the monster's stomach, ripping it apart!

"GRAH!!!"

While he was replying, several bugbears seized the opportunity to attack him. However, Sirius effortlessly dodged their attacks.

"Starfall!!!"

"—!!"

After shouting, an eight-pointed star structure with a diameter of 50 cm appeared in front of Sirius instantly.

Sirius condensed his mana into the magic circle quickly. Faint blue lights flickered into a sphere and flew toward the incoming monsters.

The super-fast speed of the magic attack made the sphere look like a teardrop. Within seconds, it met with the incoming monsters.

BOOM!!!

The resulting explosion caused the monsters to disintegrate into black ashes and drop their magic stones and 'drop items' such as claws and furs.

The explosion's impact also caused a temporary vacuum in space, resulting in a powerful shockwave afterward that blew the surrounding trees.

If Sirius used his magic, most monsters on the middle floors are not his opponents.

With such self-confidence, Sirius can spare time to bicker with Raul during battle. Otherwise, it is dangerous to distract oneself while battling the monsters.

"Huh? What's in that direction?" Sirius was maintaining the pace of exploration when suddenly he turned towards a particular location in the dense forest. He felt something wrong in that area.

"What's the matter, Sirius?" Raul noticed his strangeness and asked worriedly.

"Raul, can you tell me how strong a monster can be born in Large Tree Labyrinth in case of an abnormal situation…" Sirius doubtfully asked Raul some rhetorical questions.

But Raul thought seriously and answered.

"Well, in case of an abnormal situation, the highest level monsters that can be born in Large Tree Labyrinth is weaker level 3 monsters. There is no way stronger level 3 or above monsters can appear here. After all, middle floors are meant for level 2 adventurers to explore."

'Weaker level, huh? But I feel far more than that. There are stronger monsters over there….' Due to his new skills' feedback, Sirius intuitively felt a substantial threat from that area. He thought that it was better to stay away from that place.

It was like alarm bells ringing in his mind, reminding him not to go there for the time being. There's something there that Sirius can't handle for now.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Raul followed Sirius's gaze into the dense woods and found nothing weird.

He couldn't think of any connection between Sirius's question and location.

Raul felt like an ignorant child who knew nothing and was confused about the situation.

"No…nothing. I was just curious. Let's go in a different direction and explore that area later." Sirius removed his gaze from a horizontal cavern in the forest's depths and replied with a smile.

"Ah? Why?" Raul asked the reason for their detour.

"Well, I feel some danger there. It's better to avoid it." After thinking for some time, Sirius replied ambiguously.

"What???" Raul didn't have time to react when Sirius pulled him and ran away quickly. Sirius didn't want to waste any more time in this place.

…

In the area mentioned above,

"That human seems to have discovered us…."

A transparent and clear feminine voice echoed in the cave, communicating with others.

"I feel the same way. But, he shouldn't be able to see us." A rough male voice sounded.

"But he avoided us?" The feminine voice asked with some doubts.

According to common sense, when an adventure detects an abnormal situation in the dungeon, they first check the area out of caution or boldness and then decide whether to escape or battle.

But it's weird for someone to escape the place without any exploration directly…

It's as if they already know the cause of the abnormality.

"I don't know. Maybe the blond boy noticed something wrong or wanted to return on a whim." The male voice didn't have an accurate answer.

There were many figures wrapped in black robes centering around the two in the conversation. The robe hid their faces.

The atmosphere was silent for some time, and the rough male voice sounded again.

"Don't worry about it, and start moving. Fels said that there are very few adventurers in this area. Except for the two just now, we haven't met any other adventurers, so hurry up and act now." The rough male voice ordered the others.

It was a strange situation. Their postures didn't look like regular humans.

…

At the same time, a magician in a jet-black robe also saw the retreating sight of Sirius and Raul through a magic crystal.

"What's wrong, Fels?" An old but majestic voice asked.

"...Sirius Starr of Loki Familia seems to have discovered 'them.'" The magician named Fels gave a brief answer.

The location is the Room of Prayer in the basement of the guild headquarters.

Only four torches exist as light sources in the stone-made area dominated by darkness. In the center of the ancient altar was a figure sitting majestically on a huge throne. That's Ouranos, head of the Adventurers Guild.
