Looking towards Hyacinthus, "Let's leave this matter as it is for now. The members of the Astrea Familia are quite reasonable. Since they didn't pursue it on the spot, they probably won't cause any more trouble later."
Hyacinthus nodded: "Yes, my God."
Luan felt eyes on him, startled, and quickly responded: "My God, I understand."
With a wave of his hand, the Familia members retreated from the god's room.
"Resurrection?"
Apollo laughed, "How interesting. The lower world is indeed much more interesting than the divine realm. Astrea, will you return as well? When that time comes, Orario will be even more lively."
The thought of Astrea returning and fighting against the Dark Faction made Apollo's blood boil.
What does it matter if his Familia suffers a little?
As long as he can watch the drama, any sacrifice is worth it.
You must know, the gods of this world descended because the divine realm was too boring.
As long as it's interesting, everything can be sacrificed.
As for the Familia, nominally family, in reality, many gods treat them as cannon fodder.
......
After registering, the group left the Guild.
Kaguya Itsukano said: "Should we go get our weapons back?"
They already knew that after their deaths, Ryu had placed their dead weapons in the safe zone on the 18th floor.
As for why Ryu didn't bring the weapons back with her when she retrieved their souls, it was because she simply couldn't.
Even after several years, Juggernaut was still her nightmare.
Facing that monster with extremely high defense, extremely fast speed, and the ability to reflect magic, she had no confidence in winning. She could only try her best to bring back everyone's souls and hair.
As for fighting?
She didn't dare to hope.
Moreover, Lu Li had told her that even if she changed the past, the future would correct itself, and fighting would be meaningless.
Therefore, she always remembered her purpose in returning to the past: to go back quietly and return quietly.
As for the injuries, they were naturally left behind when she was discovered by Juggernaut and retreated in haste.
Alise: "We should indeed go get our weapons back!"
Laila: "But, after so many years, can the weapons still be used?"
As they spoke, the group entered the dungeon.
Lu Li also restrained his presence and followed them into the dungeon to observe.
Although there is a ban on gods entering the dungeon, the dungeon cannot detect them as long as they don't use divine power.
In the original story, Hestia's entry did not cause any tremors in the dungeon.
It was only when she used divine power that she triggered the dungeon's counterattack mechanism, causing Goliath to be born early and mutate into the Black Goliath.
Entering the dungeon, Lu Li understood why it was said in the original story that the dungeon was a living thing.
As they entered, a crack opened in the dungeon wall, and a small, skinny, green-skinned goblin was born from it, crawling out as if giving birth.
283. Retrieving Weapons, Slaying Goliath (Thanks to Starry Sky for the Update Request)
"How welcoming!" Alise waved her fist, ready to rush over.
Ryu quickly waved her Elf Lumen, beheading the goblin with a single strike.
Letting Alise run wild was too terrifying. By the time they reached the 18th floor, she would probably be covered in blood, which would be too detrimental to the team's image.
Alise complained: "Ryu, I wanted to fight for a while."
Ryu: "No."
As she spoke, she skillfully dissected the goblin's corpse with her wooden sword, picking out a peanut-sized magic stone and putting it in her pocket.
Although goblin magic stones are of little value, if left unattended, other monsters might swallow them and mutate, becoming enhanced species.
Enhanced species are simply a disaster for adventurers.
Therefore, not cleaning up after killing monsters is explicitly prohibited by the Adventurers' Guild.
Of course, the Guild doesn't have that many people to supervise this, so even if someone does it, it's unlikely that anything will happen.
After all, if it's not discovered, no one will care.
As they went down, the area of the dungeon became wider and wider, and the monsters became stronger and stronger.
Goblins, lizards, killer ants, war shadows, needle rabbits, orcs, silverback apes...
The monster types were very diverse, and each monster had different abilities.
If they were ordinary adventurers, they would need different strategies to deal with different monsters to avoid accidents.
But Ryu didn't need to do that. A holy sword made from the Elf Sacred Tree could reap the lives of monsters with just a light strike, as if she were cutting grass.
They arrived at the 18th floor smoothly and came to the forest behind Rivira Town, where the Astrea Familia's cemetery was located.
On the cenotaphs of the Astrea Familia members, weapons were inserted into the graves, already appearing somewhat old.
Alise stepped forward and took out her weapon, feeling a little heartache: "The damage is so great, the repair costs will be a lot."
Kaguya Itsukano: "Yes. But, it's good enough that they can still be used after being left in the wild for so long~"
Ryu: "I'm sorry."
Laila laughed: "Why is Ryu saying sorry? You didn't do anything wrong. We were already dead at the time, so it's only natural for you to put the things here, right?"
Kaguya Itsukano nodded: "Ryu, don't take this to heart. By the way, should we go take a bath?"
She remembered that there was a good place to bathe here.
Ryu reminded: "My God said he followed us into the dungeon."
Kaguya Itsukano's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Let's go back and talk about it."
Alise: "Not bathing?"
Laila was speechless: "Are you an idiot, Captain? We don't even know where my God is right now. What if he's peeking?"
Alise hesitated: "Wouldn't he? My God should be a good person."
Kaguya Itsukano rolled her eyes: "Anyway, let's go back and talk about it."
A good person?
He's a god. Gods don't have human morals.
She knew that many gods enjoyed peeping.
With weapons in hand, they became more courageous.
Arriving at the 17th floor, the group looked at the white, ice-crystal-like walls. Suddenly, the ice-crystal walls began to crack.
Ryu was shocked: "No way, the floor boss Goliath is born?"
Looking at the others, "Should we leave quickly, or should we defeat the floor boss first?"
Alise laughed: "Of course, we'll fight first. Let Goliath's death announce our return."
As long as Goliath doesn't mutate, it won't be too difficult for them.
As soon as she finished speaking, the ice-crystal wall completely cracked, and a huge humanoid monster landed on the ground, causing the floor to shake.
The monster had a huge mouth, ready to speak.
Ryu had already rushed out. Miss Gale's speed was naturally unmatched. Before the giant Goliath could utter a sound, she slashed open the giant's mouth with a single strike.
Instantly, the giant's sound waves could no longer be emitted.
However, Goliath's recovery power was extremely strong, and the cut on its mouth visibly recovered.
Kaguya Itsukano, Alise, and the others wouldn't give it a chance. The mages began to chant spells, and the melee fighters had already rushed up.
Kaguya Itsukano's katana flashed, and one of Goliath's arms was directly cut off and fell to the ground.
Alise was not weak either. Her sword was covered in flames, and she slashed fiercely at Goliath's head, causing Goliath to stagger and retreat repeatedly.
The Astrea Familia members had cooperated many times and had a very strong battle rhythm.
Goliath never launched an effective attack from beginning to end and died in frustration under the siege of the group.
"How amazing!"
"Is this the Astrea Familia?"
"So strong!"
The commotion caused by Goliath was extremely loud, and adventurers from neighboring floors were attracted.
Many adventurers watched an exciting battle and couldn't help but admire them.
Among the crowd, a few people looked gloomy, exchanged glances, and quietly retreated.
The Astrea Familia members landed, looked at Goliath, and began to decompose the monster.
Soon, as a man-sized magic stone was decomposed, Goliath's huge body began to turn into dust, leaving only a hard skin in place.
It was the item that this floor boss, Goliath, often dropped - Goliath's hard skin.
Goliath's hard skin has considerable defense and can be made into defensive items. Although it is not as good as the black hard skin dropped by the mutated Goliath, it is already very good and can be sold for at least ten million valis.
Alise looked at the huge magic stone, feeling a headache: "`The value of the decomposed magic stone will be greatly reduced. What should we do? Who will carry this thing up?"
Kaguya Itsukano rolled her eyes: "As the captain, you must lead by example, so Alise, it's up to you."
Alise: "..."
Ryu stepped forward: "I'll do it."
With a gentle swipe towards the magic stone, the magic stone disappeared.
Alise was shocked: "Is that Fenrir?"
Ryu raised her finger, and everyone saw a ring on her finger: "This is a space ring bestowed by my God, which can be used to store things."
Kaguya Itsukano: "This is too convenient. In that case, let's put Goliath's hard skin in it too."
While everyone was discussing things, the others had skillfully taken out the magic stones of the small monsters and put them away.
The Astrea Familia needed money everywhere for reconstruction, and they dared not waste any of it.
After packing up, the group walked towards the ground in a hurry.
Killing monsters along the way, they gained a lot of magic stones. By the time they walked out of the dungeon, it was already dark.
Ryu asked: "Should we exchange the magic stones first, or should we wait until tomorrow?"
Kaguya Itsukano said: "Let's exchange them and see how much money we can get. We can't all live at Lu Li's place in the future. We need to buy a residence."
284. Alise's Embarrassing Moment
Kaguya Itsukano's decision was unanimously approved by everyone.
They came to the Guild.
Eina was still at work. Seeing the group, she asked with a smile: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Ryu said: "Exchange some magic stones and monster materials."
Eina nodded: "Please follow me."
She led Ryu and the others to the small room next door and said: "Take the things out."
This room was originally used to protect traders. After all, wealth should not be exposed, which is a universal truth.
Ryu had an idea and took out the magic stone and Goliath's hard skin and put them on the ground.
Eina was shocked: "You actually brought back the entire magic stone? Does Miss Ryu also have that kind of magical item from the Lu Li Familia?"
Because the Lu Li Familia had been in the dungeon for a while, Eina was no stranger to space rings.
