"ââââ"
That scene fell into the eyes of Ais and the adventurers of the Hermes Clan, like a nightmare.
The voluptuous and alluring red-haired beauty stood there covered in blood, surrounded by carnivorous flower monsters twisting their bodies and swinging their tentacles, as if protecting their queen, encircling the injured woman.
A woman allied with monsters.
Monsters protecting a woman.
This is an incredible scene, an incomprehensible matter.
Because, in this world, monsters are the enemies of mankind, the scourge of the underworld, evil that harms the world, just like the demons and humans in the Demon Slayer World, absolute foes who could never compromise.
In the Demon Slayer World, itâs common knowledge that demons eat people, and Ghost Hunters slay demons to resist their atrocities.
Similarly, in this world, monsters ravage life as a norm, humans hunt monsters, subjugate them, as a just action against their violence.
Monsters in the underground city embracing humans, protecting humans, humans allying with monsters and fighting side by side, is something unimaginable by anyone in this world.
"...Beast Tamer?"
Faced with these scenes, people can only think of this profession to explain what they are seeing using their understanding.
However, the red-haired woman is definitely no ordinary Beast Tamer.
At least, neither Ais nor Asafi has ever heard of a Beast Tamer capable of taming and commanding so many monsters at once.
Moreover, something else is happening that keeps them in shock and distress.
Thatâs the red-haired woman, tattered and blood-soaked, her injuries are visibly healing at a remarkable rate.
Indeed.
The red-haired woman Reveis, her wounds are rapidly healing.
Without using Recovery Magic or Spiritual Medicine, she stood there, wounds constantly emitting light smoke like steam.
Gradually, those wounds disappeared, as if they never existed, leaving only tiny particles of Magic Power residue floating off her body.
In these circumstances, it didnât take long for the red-haired woman Reveisâ injuries to be completely healed.
"What... what is this...!?"
Among the Hermes Clan members, a canine girl screamed.
"Over-the-top self-healing ability...?"
Asafi shuddered.
"...!"
Ais caught her breath, just about to react, yet found herself targeted by a large group of carnivorous flower monsters, forcing her to raise the Sword of Despair and continue fighting.
Only Reiger, gazing at Reveis, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"As expected, not easily settled."
As if foreseeing all of this, Reiger casually commented.
This made Reveis glance coldly at Reiger, while flexing her previously mangled hand, speaking emotionlessly.
"Lv.5... no, with this level of combat power, youâre a first-tier Lv.6 adventurer, arenât you?"
"That useless white-haired guy said the [Sword Princess] was the most difficult opponent."
"But you clearly are the most challenging one."
Hearing this, Reiger replied nonchalantly.
"Thanks for the compliment." He said meaningfully: "Youâre not bad either, in terms of combat power, you should be at Lv.6 too, along with unique abilities others donât have. Care to introduce yourself?"
These words from Reiger stirred intense reactions among the Hermes Clan members.
"She, sheâs Lv.6...?"
"Impossible, arenât there only a few Lv.6s in Orario?"
"This person doesnât match any of them."
"Is she a newly promoted Lv.6 or from outside the city?"
"A completely unfamiliar face, it doesnât make sense, logically anyone with this level of strength would have some fame, right?"
The adventurers of the Hermes Clan simultaneously fought the carnivorous flowers and entered into a frenzy.
First-tier adventurers above Lv.5 are rare worldwide, so any movement they make is quickly known, itâs almost impossible to keep under wraps, thus first-tier adventurers are usually famous, though there are a few hidden ones.
Now, in front of everyone there appeared one, inevitably stirring commotion.
"Are you the mastermind behind the abnormal situation on the 24th floor?" Asafi directly questioned, adding: "Did you also kill the Ganisa Clan members on the 18th floor?"
Asafiâs interrogation made Reveis glance at her lightly.
Then, Reveis withdrew her gaze, as though completely uninterested in Asafi, disdainful of answering her questions, causing irritation among Asafi and the Hermes Clan.
"I donât have a name to report to adventurers." The red-haired woman continued coldly to Reiger: "Iâm not interested in your name either, since youâre an enemy to be killed eventually, what matter are names."
"Quite a bold statement." Reiger calmly replied: "Just that your skills arenât as impressive as your words."
Finally, anger flickered through Reveisâ eyes.
"I told you, didnât I?" Reveis murmured: "Donât underestimate people!"
Saying this, Reveis knelt, plunging a hand into the ground.
Instantly, the green flesh wall under her feet began to wriggle violently, as if nurturing something, accompanied by her fierce pull, spewing blood-like red liquid.
