Chapter 6

I entered the dungeon like the day before. When I return to my own world, I want to at least be a satan-class devil. Regardless of whether they are weak or strong, I kill the monsters that come my way and proceed to the deep floors.

I don't know how many monsters I killed as time went by. Anyway, I killed hellhounds, unicorn rabbits, and Minotaurs. Based on these monsters, it can be determined that the dungeon should be below the eleventh floor and above the seventeenth floor.

A group of monsters appeared before me beyond the 10th floor. When I was faced with these monsters, I picked up a few stones from the ground. Monsters; They started scratching at me, roaring to attack. I started to surround the stones in my hands with the power of destruction. Although not as much as my demonic magic, I have considerable control over this power due to years of training myself.

I targeted the monsters in front of me with the stones in my hand and threw the stones. The stones, imbued with the power of destruction, pierced the monsters when they came into contact with them. The energy of destruction began to spread, starting from the holes I opened in the monsters' bodies. Before long, the monsters disappeared without leaving even a magic stone behind.

"Well, I wasn't expecting that." Although it is not mentioned much in the anime, some forums on the internet say that the power of destruction depends on the law of destruction. I assume this is true since it destroyed even the core of the monster that contained magic within it.

"However, I must use this power carefully." I should be careful not to use this power, at least when I act as a team. Because I don't want someone I know to accidentally disappear along with their soul.

After performing the experiment, I began to focus on my ice manipulation ability from the Lucifude lineage. I remember in the anime "Akame ga kill" Esdeath could even freeze time. Inspired by this, I decided to put sword fights aside for now and started honing my ice manipulation ability.

After spending some time in the deeper floors, I decided to leave the dungeon. It was already getting late. I was getting ready to leave, dreaming of returning to the mansion and eating something prepared by the beautiful elf cooks, when I heard a noise and turned my gaze back.

"Ais! How many times have I warned you not to lose control? Someone could get hurt because of your reckless actions." A beautiful green-haired female elf was softly scolding a blonde-haired, yellow-eyed girl wearing light blue-white armor. The scolded girl accepted her mistake with her head bowed.

A petite blonde-haired female elf was looking back and forth uneasily between the two of them, holding a staff in her hand. While a few people were following them, they were sighing helplessly with a facial expression that showed that they were used to such an event. The blonde girl admitted that she made a mistake and apologized:

"I'm sorry, Riveria." Even though she had an expressionless face, it was clear from her tone that she was truly upset.

"Ah... Anyway, okay. Be more careful now." When Riveria saw Ais's guilty expression, she lost her temper and sighed helplessly. Meanwhile, the group had gotten very close to me. After Riveria saw me, she opened her eyes with a reaction I didn't understand and blushed slightly. Since the anime focused on the protagonist Bell Cranel, I couldn't judge Riveria's reaction since I didn't know how she normally acted.

"I'm sorry. We showed you our embarrassing state." Riveria said smilingly with a slight greeting. Pallum, whom I knew to be Finn, came over to us and greeted us with a smile. I waved my hand to Riveria to let her know it was okay and turned to Finn next door.

"Captain, are you coming from the deep levels?"

"Oh, we can't earn experience points like before. Besides, Ais is always in a hurry. So we follow her and together.... Wait! Did you just say captain?" While Finn was talking normally at first, towards the end he sensed something was wrong and started looking at me. Meanwhile, others were looking at me curiously.

"Oh sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Sakuya Izayoi, I just joined the Loki family." I bowed and introduced myself. The others shouted in surprise after what I said.

"Ehhhh." x7

"So you're the new joiner. Hello, I'm Tiona. This is my sister, Tione." The Amazon sisters were the first to recover from their surprise. They came to me with enthusiasm and introduced themselves to me.

"Hello, I'm Lefiya." The shy elf girl also came forward and introduced herself. Then I heard another surprised voice.

"The one who joined the new? This is the 11th floor." Bert the werewolf was staring at me in disbelief. I can relatively understand his mood. After all, someone who has just received blessings cannot descend to such deep levels. I felt a little embarrassed as everyone looked at me curiously.

"Well, I've been training since I was 5 years old. So I didn't have a problem going that deep." I replied by curling the ends of my hair. Everyone's looks made me a little overwhelmed. Meanwhile, when Finn saw my depressed state, he did not allow the others to go any further.

"Anyway, do you want to go back together? Or are you planning to stay?"

"No problem, let's go back together. But why didn't you question whether it was true that I was from your family?"

"You have no reason to lie. Besides, if you are lying, it will be revealed when we get back." Finn chuckled in response to my question. I felt ashamed for a moment because I hadn't thought of this, and I felt my cheeks warm slightly. Meanwhile, Tiona came to me and grabbed my arm. She bombarded me with questions with sparkling eyes.

I told them what I had done in the dungeon until I returned to Twilight Manor. It was already evening when we arrived at the mansion. We are treated to Loki's confusion as she exaggerates her happiness at the return of the expedition team. Others looked at this with a mocking face and rolled their eyes. Assuming they were used to it, I decided to ignore it.
