The Ultimate Lich King

For a long time after that, Ye Yu's life seemed to return to normal, running around in the dungeon, and then continued not to encounter any monsters.

All the money he had had had been squandered long ago, and as a result, he had to rely on Hestia's help.

Ye Yu sighed helplessly and found a place to sit down on the fifth floor of the dungeon maze. I really don’t feel it at all when money is spent, but it’s really uncomfortable when it’s gone.

That night I casually spent two thousand Valis, which was really extravagant now that I think about it. That was half a month's salary of Hestia.

For Ye Yu today, the fifth floor of the dungeon has become his back garden. He is no longer familiar with this place, although he has not encountered any monsters so far.

As for Aina, she was already numb to this. Even if she wanted to explode her head, she still couldn't figure out why Ye Yu couldn't meet the monster.

Is it a special physique, a one-in-a-billion chance of luck, or something else?

Aina couldn't get the answer. She felt that she might have to serve as Ye Yu's adventurer consultant for a long time in the future.

After all, Ye Yu has not yet completed the first task she assigned, killing a goblin.

On the other hand, regarding the Loki Familia, what happened that day seems to have been ordered not to be spread everywhere. All the insiders are tight-lipped, so no rumors about Ye Yu have been leaked so far.

For example, a LV1 adventurer defeats LV5 and possesses something like incredibly powerful ice magic.

However, there are several different versions of the relationship between Ye Yu and Riveria that are circulating.

However, these after-dinner chats basically disappeared after being circulated for a while. After all, everyone knew that Ye Yu and Riveria were impossible. Not to mention the identity gap between the two people, marriage leave between different families is an incredible thing in itself.

As for Bert, the orc young man involved, he seemed to have been greatly stimulated after he woke up. He did not go to see Aisi Wallenstein again, but just went to the deeper levels of the dungeon by himself to experience.

"It's been like this for half a month. I don't know how Riveria is doing now."

Not seeing Riveria for half a month left Ye Yu a little confused and at a loss. He wanted to see the girl he missed, but the strong men from the Loki Familia set off for the expedition again. information.

"Do you want to catch up with my Riveria? You can't do it if you don't work harder. Although you are a bit concerning now, your absolute strength is still not enough."

The red-haired goddess with squinting eyes, that's what Loki said. Recalling the words of the goddess, Ye Yu couldn't help but clenched his palms.

"Absolute power?"

What exactly is absolute power?

With this thought, Ye Yu stood up slowly, brushing his hands along the walls of the maze, and a chill that made people shiver emit from his palms. The unclean frost spread slowly and gracefully, soon dyeing all the walls of the maze where he was in a pure white color.

"It's really... boring. Are you so afraid of me?"

Lowering his head and murmuring so softly, Ye Yu sighed softly. Wherever he walked, the walls of the maze trembled as if they were alive, as if they were responding to his question.

Where the frost covered it, the walls of the labyrinth cracked, and the bright red liquid slowly flowed down like blood, accompanied by a sound like a beast wailing in pain, turning the white frost into a coquettish one. color.

Labyrinth City Orario.

It has existed since the 'ancient' era before the arrival of the gods. It is one of the world's largest metropolises, and it is also the world's only labyrinth city.

Named unknown excitement, huge wealth, glorious honor, and power.

There is everything you need in this city.

As a result, a large number of people fascinated by this dream gathered here - and among them there may also be weirdos who pursue fateful encounters.

"The hottest city in the world."

That's what people call Orario.

So, inevitably.

It is only natural that these ‘gods’, who are more thirsty for unknown existences and pursue entertainment than adventurers, would rush to be in the most popular city in the world.

"Well...a banquet between gods?"

At night, as usual, he took off his shirt and sat on the bed, letting Hestia check his attributes. Listening to the words of the goddess behind him, Ye Yu tilted his head strangely.

"Yes, this time it is the 'Feast of the Gods' hosted by Ganesha. To put it simply, it is a private gathering between our gods."

"The so-called 'Feast of the Gods', to put it bluntly, is a gathering held by the gods who have descended to the lower world to meet each other. Which god will hold it and what day it will be on, there are no rules at all. Whichever god wants to hold a party can have it , whichever god wants to participate can attend.”

"The gods are really capricious."

Ye Yu shook his head in amusement.

"Yes, yes, but you can eat the free meal. If you don't go, it will be in vain."

Hestia said this as she finished rubbing Ye Yu's attributes.

"Still no growth?"

Behind him, Hestia has been slow to tell her attributes. Ye Yu, who guessed something, spoke so softly.

"Ah...yes, there is still no change."

Hestia sighed helplessly. It had been twenty days since Ye Yu became an adventurer, but his attributes were still the same as at the beginning, without any increase.

"It doesn't matter. If there is no change, there will be no change. Anyway, for a mage, these things are not important."

Ye Yu said nonchalantly, while Hestia showed a somewhat curious expression.

"Ye Yu, have you mastered the secret of releasing your own magic?"

"Well, it seems that I have some tricks, but I'm not very sure."

As Ye Yu said this, he turned over his palms, and immediately a biting chill was released from his palms. In an instant, the basement with the dim candlelight swaying was covered with a light layer of frost.

"Hey... so cold, so cold, so cold..."

The moment Ye Yu released the cold air, Hestia was so cold that the girl shivered and shrank her body.

"Sorry, are you okay Hestia?"

Ye Yu restrained the chill he had released and gently hugged the shivering girl.

"Well...it's okay. Talking in Ye Yu's arms makes me feel indescribably warm."

Being cared for so carefully by Ye Yu, Hestia couldn't help but narrow her eyes with happiness, like a cat attached to its owner.

The cold air came and went quickly, as if controlled by Ye Yu's thoughts, it disappeared quickly.

"It's amazing. The only person I know who can control the magic he releases like this is you, Ye Yu. Ye Yu, you are definitely the most powerful magician in Orario!"

Hestia blushed and said so excitedly, while Ye Yu shook his head gently.

It does seem that his magic is very strong, and Loki seems to have admitted this, but this is not enough. This is not the real and absolute power he possesses...

Ye Yu once again thought of what Loki said. What he lacked now was the thing that could determine everything.

If I want to overcome these obstacles and be with Riveria... my current self is still far from enough, or in other words, it's still far away.

Slowly closing his palms, Ye Yu also clearly knew what he lacked most now.

It seems that he has great power, but in fact, he is as fragile as a child. Physical deficiencies are fatal. Maybe I should be grateful that I have been lucky enough not to encounter monsters in the dungeon. Otherwise, I might have died long ago, right?

Your own strength is the most important thing, magic is just an external force.

Take Riveria for example. Even though she relies on her powerful magic strength, her own strength is beyond the reach of ordinary adventurers.

Magic is indeed powerful as an auxiliary, but if you don't have the corresponding powerful power, you will be like a child holding a magical weapon.

"I want to become stronger... not just relying on magic, I want all my other attributes to be as strong as magic."

Looking at the thin ice in his hand that represented his attributes, Ye Yu said so seriously.

Hestia, who was lying in his arms, narrowed her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Well...I will help you and help you become stronger, Ye Yu."
