DanMachi Crossover: My Kevin Template Joined the Chat Group

A dragon of fire immediately streaked forward, trailing a long tail of flame as it collided head-on with the Crystal Mantis.

Boom—!!!!

The next instant, a pure white flash flooded the entire field of vision and burst outward in every direction, accompanied by a thunderous roar like that of a giant beast.

An explosion worthy of the name!

In an instant, terrifying firelight and a powerful shockwave ravaged the entire cavern. Even chunks of rock fell from the ceiling of the floor, groaning as they crashed down.

As for the Crystal Mantis that had taken the attack head-on, not even scraps remained.

Only a wisp of smoke rose from the center of the explosion, along with a few sparks dancing through the air.

"No matter how I look at it, this weapon is far too unfair, Mr. Ling Xuan. Its power is comparable to magic—no, even magic may not possess such destructive force."

Watching the scene, Ryu Lion could not help but sigh in amazement.

Ling Xuan merely nodded noncommittally at her remark.

"It's not that impressive..."

To be honest, he was extremely satisfied with the weapon's power so far.

The violent explosion and scorching heat generated the instant it struck its target were completely the kind of spectacle only an explosion could produce. Its power was enough to make one tremble.

As expected of a Divine Key forged from the Herrscher Core of the Seventh Herrscher of the Previous Era—the Herrscher of Flames.

Even Heaven's Fire Judgement in its dual-pistol form possessed such terrifying destructive power.

He was already looking forward to the power of its Heavenly Fire Greatsword and Jie Mie forms.

Just thinking about using the Heavenly Fire Greatsword to farm monsters, about the immense devastation a single slash could cause...

The thought alone made his blood race and his spirits soar.

The Arrival of the Monster Festival

After slaying an unknown number of waves of monsters,

Ling Xuan and Ryu Lion reached the end of the floor.

Compared with the other areas, it could barely be considered a safe zone after all the monsters there had been cleared out.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to rest here for a while before retracing their steps.

After all, several straight hours of traveling and constant fighting had left them somewhat tired.

More importantly, they had not brought enough food to sustain a long expedition through the Dungeon.

In fact, in terms of sheer size, the Dungeon was unimaginably vast.

Even a First Class Adventurer could not travel between the depths of the Dungeon and the surface in less than several days.

Therefore, from the Middle Floors onward, one had to keep a proper pace and begin managing one's condition while exploring the Dungeon.

Otherwise, even slight exhaustion would continue accumulating until it became an unbearable burden, baring its fangs at the adventurer.

After giving it some thought, Ling Xuan decided to rest where they were before heading back the way they had come.

As for deeper floors...

There would be plenty of chances in the future...

While they rested, Ryu Lion repeatedly seemed to want to say something, only to stop herself.

Seeing this, Ling Xuan became rather curious.

After the two of them had thoroughly cleared out all the monsters nearby, Ling Xuan naturally let down much of his guard.

"If you don't mind, how about sitting beside me?"

Ryu Lion looked at Mr. Ling Xuan with a complicated expression.

"It truly is quite strange... Mr. Ling Xuan..."

Over the course of their day together, Ryu Lion had to admit that Ling Xuan was a very special person.

Not only was he astonishingly strong, but he was also extremely cautious.

He had only been an adventurer for a few days, yet he could practically recite information about all kinds of monsters.

Even his strength was monstrous.

One of the reasons Ryu Lion had joined this party in the first place was to protect Ling Xuan.

Now, it seemed like she was protecting nothing.

What adventurer had this kind of strength right after becoming an adventurer...

And then there were those two pistols that could spew flames and inflict horrifying damage.

Ryu Lion was becoming somewhat numb to it all.

Had she fallen behind the times?

Ling Xuan, sitting nearby, seemed to notice what was on Ryu Lion's mind and asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

At those words, a complicated look appeared on Ryu Lion's face.

"No... that's not it, Mr. Ling Xuan. Your actions are just... very special. The particularly special kind..."

Ling Xuan was so unusual that she did not even know where to begin.

This day of adventuring had reminded her of the past.

At the same time, it had allowed her to understand Ling Xuan better.

Just then, Ryu Lion seemed to recall something.

At that moment, Ling Xuan's voice rang out again.

"Mr. Ling Xuan, if there is an opportunity in the future, I hope you can spare me some time and let me visit the safe zone on the eighteenth floor."

Ling Xuan was slightly taken aback by her request.

Seeing Ling Xuan's distracted expression, Ryu Lion revealed a disappointed look.

"If it troubles you, then never mind...?"

However, Ling Xuan's voice rang out again the next second.

"Mm, sure."

"The eighteenth floor, right? Of course. We can stop by and take a look when we pass through."

The moment he heard the request, he could already guess what Ryu Lion wanted to do. Since he understood her reasons, there was naturally no reason to refuse.

Besides, they would definitely reach the eighteenth floor eventually.

Stopping by then would be no trouble, and it could serve as a place to rest and recover as well.

He could also raise Ryu Lion's affection while he was at it.

It was a deal with no downside.

Ryu Lion did not know what Ling Xuan was thinking. At that moment, she stared at him in surprise.

As their eyes met, Ryu Lion felt as though her thoughts had been seen through.

"Indeed... Mr. Ling Xuan... you really are special!"

The two continued chatting as they rested.

They remained there for a while longer, until the low growls of monsters echoed through the cavern once more. Only then did the two rise from the ground one after the other.

"Looks like our rest time is over."

Listening to the reverberating growls, Ryu Lion instinctively assumed a guarded stance, her hand already resting on her weapon.

"Yes, it is."

"Then let's return to the surface. Next time, we'll bring more food so we can continue exploring deeper down."

By the time the two returned to the surface, dawn had already arrived.

There was only one entrance and exit to the Dungeon, and a few adventurers could vaguely be seen around it.

As the two walked out of the Dungeon, they saw a huge crate.

It looked like a cargo box...

No, monster roars were coming from inside!

Noticing Ling Xuan's attention on the crate, Ryu Lion explained,

"Mr. Ling Xuan, you only became an adventurer not long ago, correct? Then there may be some things you don't know. These are monsters prepared for the Monster Festival."

At that, Ling Xuan immediately remembered.

So it was already that time.

The so-called Monster Festival was an event held by Ganesha.

It was one of the few carnivals in all of Orario.

Ling Xuan recalled what he knew about the Monster Festival.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Freya will probably stir up trouble again."

If he remembered correctly, on the day of the Monster Festival, Freya had caused trouble by releasing the monsters intended for the festival, triggering quite a bit of chaos.

But Ling Xuan was not particularly concerned about that.

After all, these low-level monsters were nothing more than one-shot fodder to him!

With that thought, Ling Xuan began looking forward to the Monster Festival's arrival!

Hestia Got Jealous Again!

After escorting Ryu Lion back to the tavern, Ling Xuan returned to the hidden room in the church.

Just as he had expected, Hestia had not returned yet.
