Lirielle waited calmly as the elevator moved to the higher floor of the hotel where Adrian's room was.She was just coming from the Med Bay, and Adrian wasn't there, meaning he was in his room.She was already slightly angry that he didn't show up despite the fact that she took her time to dress up and even apply makeup to her already beautiful face.“If he doesn't compliment me about my beauty, then I would punch him in his face,” she thought to herself as the elevator door finally opened.She walked straight to his room and wasted no time knocking. She had to knock a second time before the door was finally opened.She froze in shock as the sight that greeted her was a huge Knight standing in front of her.It had to bend down for its head to barely fit through the doorway and come out into the hallway, making her back up.Tank stood back up straight before bowing slightly and directing her inside.“Thank you,” Lirielle whispered as she entered, and he followed.She walked into the ro

“You want an S-Rank Dungeon Core in exchange for the location of the Mimicry Spirits? Am I right, Mr. Adrian?” the lady asked as calmly as ever, and Adrian nodded his head.The man sitting beside her suddenly flipped the table, throwing it into another corner of the room as his hands transformed into stone.“If you think this is a joke, then you might be mistaken. I'll gladly show you how serious we are,” the man said as he took a step forward, but the Director stepped in front of him and blocked him.“He's just a student. My student, and you have no right to lay a finger on him,” the Director said, looking him in the eyes.“A student requesting an S-Rank Dungeon Core should not be viewed as a student. He is a scammer who needs to be punished,” the man said, anger obviously showing on his face.“Give us a minute so we can call our officials,” the lady said as she stood up and walked out of the room, and the man followed behind.Adrian retrieved Nyx once again before sighing in relief

Adrian rolled out of the portal as his feet touched the wet ground. He raised his head to see Kellan's Mantis already in action, fighting against several creatures.“What in the world are these?” Adrian asked no one in particular as he saw these strange human-and-horse hybrid monsters.These were centaurs.A centaur stood roughly seven feet tall, its upper body shaped like a heavily built human while its lower body belonged to a powerful horse.Their humanoid torsos were covered in different colors and lengths of hair, from short dark hair to long blonde hair stretching from their broad shoulders down across their muscular arms.A thick mane ran from the back of its head and down its neck, blending into the mane of its horse body. Its face was mostly human, but its features were rough and beast-like, with sharp teeth, a wide jaw, and glowing amber eyes.Two curved horns protruded from either side of its forehead, and its lower body was that of a massive warhorse, supported by four thi

“They may both be B-Ranks and may be powerful, but that won't be enough to stop the army of the Centaurs, their mini-bosses, and the main boss. Not to mention the Sons and Daughters of Eve that are hunting us currently,” one of the summoners said.“Imagine he's just arriving, and he's already asking for the location of the boss. Such an arrogant bastard. I bet he's the type that stays at home enjoying his family's money,” a lady among them said.“I don't think that's correct, though. Unlike other young summoners who use Beautification Summons to increase their beauty, those guys didn't use anything like that,” another lady seated in their midst said to the people surrounding her.“The other guy who spoke first is handsome normally, without beautification, while the other guy who came with the kid is handsome in a rough way. His physical build shows that he didn't come from wealth or anything.”“You might be mistaken, but I'm going to go check out how strong they are, starting with the

“My summon is telling me you have more than one summoning. Is that true?” she asked as her eyes were still locked on Adrian. He nodded his head. “How many do you have?” she asked again, holding up two fingers. Her sword suddenly appeared very near to Adrian’s neck. The blade wasn’t touching his skin, but Adrian felt a little blood leak from his neck. “If there’s one thing I hate, it’s liars, and I can promise you the same treatment I gave your Knight if you lie to me again,” she told him, and Adrian changed his fingers to the number three. “Wow, a Tri-Summoner. I didn’t expect to meet such a rare specimen in a dungeon like this,” she said, retreating the blade. “Well, that saves my time and energy. I am giving you a mission now, and your mission is to kill the dungeon boss. I don’t know how you plan to do it, but I’m sure you can pull it off.” “Who are you?” Adrian said as he stared at her. “You don’t need to know my name now, Adrian, but there is a probability we’ll meet agai
