Clearly, even monsters found the Goddess of Beauty's appearance completely impossible to resist.

After carefully making her selection, Freya stood before a Silverback Wolf.

"...I choose you."

In addition, twelve other monsters had been released.

Meanwhile, Ling Xuan and the others were still strolling around.

Just then, an incredibly piercing scream erupted somewhere nearby.

"Th-there are monstersssssssss!"

The deafening scream echoed through the area, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Monsters!

In an instant, everyone present understood what had happened. Had the monsters from the Monster Festival escaped?

Seeing this, Ling Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So it's finally begun... Freya!"

The Same Kind of Existence as a Goddess!

"Lord Ganesha, Lord Ganesha! This is bad, really bad!"

"The captured monsters have escaped! The cages are empty!"

The staff member reported to Ganesha with a panicked expression.

Hearing this, Ganesha froze slightly.

"...Eh, isn't that terrible?"

"That's why I said it's bad!"

After listening solemnly, Ganesha asked in a low voice once the report was finished.

"How many monsters escaped—no, were released?"

"Twelve. Among them are monsters that even highly skilled adventurers would find difficult to handle..."

Hearing that, Ganesha nodded. His expression showed no sign of wavering as he merely gave a quiet hum.

"Good. Immediately pursue those monsters! Cooperate with the other Familias as well! Ask the gods present to provide assistance!"

The reporting staff member froze.

"P-please wait! No matter how it happened, letting the monsters escape is our failure. If we borrow the strength of other factions, not only will we lose face, but our rivals may also take advantage of the situation..."

"I am Ganesha, the Group Owner! How can I allow the citizens we are meant to protect to be harmed? The children's smiles are our greatest happiness. Status and reputation can be cast aside!"

"Y-yes, sir! I sincerely apologize!"

"The festival will continue! Do not let the audience currently inside the Arena leave, and do not let them learn that monsters have escaped! Do not do anything that could cause panic, understood?!"

"I-I understand. There is also the matter of searching for the person who released the monsters..."

"It's fine. Leave it alone."

As Ganesha spoke, he squinted his eyes crookedly.

"This person did not release every captured monster, which means they likely had no intention of expanding the damage without restraint.

I believe they have another 'purpose.'

A diversion, or perhaps creating chaos... It is infuriating, but we will play along. The citizens' safety must take top priority!"

Under Ganesha's command, every member of the Ganesha Familia began responding swiftly.

Meanwhile, Eina and the others naturally received the news as well.

"The monsters escaped!?"

"Y-yes. Apparently, the western team saw monsters escape from the Arena.

The Ganesha Familia is busy handling it too... What should we do, Eina—?"

Eina was momentarily stunned, but quickly came back to her senses.

She immediately spoke with resolve.

"Contact any Familia nearby, wherever they are! And the adventurers too!"

"B-but is it alright to act on our own like this? We don't know what the higher-ups will say afterward..."

"It's better than having people get hurt! Besides, Ganesha knows that lives must come first. He shouldn't object to us seeking help from other Familias! It'll be too late once something happens!"

Just then, an unexpected voice spoke up.

"...Excuse me, may I ask what happened?"

That sleepy-sounding voice immediately drew Eina's group's attention.

"A-Ais Wallenstein..."

The girl standing before them was undoubtedly Ais.

She wore a miniskirt that covered half her soft thighs, along with a short top.

Though she wore no armor, a rapier in its sheath hung from her sword belt. Her waist-length golden hair shimmered beneath the sunlight.

The closest staff member hurriedly stepped forward and explained the entire situation to Ais.

After listening intently, she turned around the moment she understood the circumstances.

"Loki."

"Mm, I heard it all. Looks like this isn't the time for a date. Fine, let's do Ganesha a favor."

Hearing Loki agree with a grin, the Guild staff all cheered.

Like the staff whose expressions had brightened, Eina relaxed for the moment, only for her shoulders to tense again almost immediately.

"Then, do you know where the monsters are wandering around?"

"East Main Street. According to the reports, all the monsters have appeared on East Main Street."

As soon as those words fell, Ais immediately headed for East Main Street.

Meanwhile, on East Main Street!

At the far end of the road leading here from the Arena!

With the sound of feet kicking against stone pavement, a monster with pure white fur came charging wildly in this direction.

It was a monster—the Silverback Ape.

It was obvious to the naked eye.

The Silverback Ape was in an excited state.

At this moment, the Silverback Ape exuded a savage aura. Its muscles rippled all over its body, its long silver fur whipped wildly in the wind, and it continued forward as though possessed by something.

It was searching for a "Goddess."

What remained in its mind was the image of her silver hair swaying as she disappeared through the doorway.

Body and soul completely enthralled, the Silverback Ape was tossed about by an unprecedented, uncontrollable urge. As though pulled along by invisible chains, it ran after her departing figure.

An incomparably simple and pure instinct drove the monster onward!

Upon seeing this, every passerby nearby wore expressions of shock and fear.

"Graaahhhhh!"

"Eek!?"

"A monster?"

"But why is a monster from the Dungeon here?"

As all the citizens trembled in fear, the Silverback Ape's bloodshot eyes caught sight of "her."

The small black-haired girl who was calmly watching it.

An extraordinary existence clearly different from everyone around her.

She had to be an existence more exalted than anything else.

An existence fundamentally identical to the "Goddess" it sought.

The crazed monster immediately charged toward Ling Xuan, Hestia, and the others.

Seeing this, a trace of panic appeared on Hestia's face.

"Ling Xuan...!!!"

Beside her, Ryu Lion immediately showed a grave expression as well.

She assumed a defensive stance.

At the same time, she kept her gaze on Ling Xuan, seemingly asking for his opinion.

"Mr. Ling Xuan..."

Hearing the two of them, Ling Xuan nodded.

Naturally, he had noticed that the monster was charging directly at them.

However, facing a Silverback Ape—a monster that only appeared on the eleventh floor—Ling Xuan did not pay it much attention...

More than that, Ling Xuan could sense a faint, indistinct gaze watching him from somewhere.

"Alright, good luck—"

Chapter Twenty-Two was posted twice, so I reposted it. Just refresh it, everyone. Please send flowers and rating votes!

I've Gotten Up, One Move Kill!

Hearing that voice,

Ling Xuan could not help revealing a helpless expression.

"This Goddess..."

If he got the chance in the future, he would have to teach that Goddess a lesson.

But the most important thing now was to deal with the Silverback Ape before him.

At this moment—

"ROAR!!!!"

The Silverback Ape let out a deafening roar.

That terrifying roar immediately shook the entire Arena!

Even Level 2 adventurers would hesitate before deciding whether they truly wanted to fight such an enraged Silverback Ape.

Naturally, the roar also alerted Ganesha.

However, there was nothing he could do about this monster.

It was not that he could not suppress it, but rather that the monsters escaping from the venue were not limited to the Silverback Ape. There were eleven other monsters as well.

To suppress the escaped monsters while maintaining order at the scene, the Ganesha Familia had practically mobilized everyone. They could do nothing about the commotion over there.

They could only hope that some adventurers would lend a hand.

Meanwhile, upon hearing that roar,

Hestia's face also turned serious.
