Ling Xuan had thought of the same possibility, and excitement filled his eyes!
This was good news for him!
After all, all his attributes had already reached their maximum. Continuing to grind monsters did not mean much to him anymore, aside from the tiny bit of value he could get from plundering their skills.
But if it was a powerful monster, that was another matter...
After all, this counted as a Great Deed for him. He had been wondering how to gather enough Great Deeds to level up, only for a pillow to arrive just as he was dozing off.
That was simply perfect!
"Let's keep moving!"
The two continued onward...
Just then.
A bewitching voice entered Ling Xuan's mind.
"Hm?"
Ling Xuan stopped, and Ryu stopped as well. The two simultaneously turned their gazes toward the same spot.
The next second!
A deafening roar echoed through the area!
"Mooooooo...!!!"
Accompanied by that sound, a crimson Fierce Bull appeared within their sight.
Its entire body was drenched in scarlet liquid. The monster stood over two meters tall and let out an incomparable roar toward the unreachable ceiling of the Dungeon.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Its massive, muscular body was covered in terrifying weapons, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression!
Without a doubt, this monster was a Minotaur!
Minotaur!
The monster standing before them at this moment was a Minotaur.
However, this Minotaur was somewhat different from the Minotaurs they knew!
Both its presence and strength could be clearly felt.
This thing was obviously more powerful than the Minotaurs they had encountered before.
It was clearly an ultimate enhanced version!
And that was not all. Even the weapon in its hand was completely different!
The two immediately recognized it as an adventurer's silver sword...
Looking at the Minotaur before them, whose entire body exuded a violent aura,
a trace of surprise appeared in Ryu's eyes.
"A Minotaur? But why is it here?"
Just then, Ling Xuan's voice rang out.
"This isn't an ordinary Minotaur... Ryu, step back. Leave this one to me!"
Hearing the excitement in his voice, Ryu could not help but freeze for a moment.
"Wait... Mr. Ling Xuan, this is no ordinary monster. Even among Level 2 monsters, it is one of the strongest. And this Minotaur is clearly different from the Minotaurs we know..."
Before she could finish,
Ling Xuan's voice rang out again.
"Don't worry. Trust me!"
Hearing that, Ryu could only nod in agreement.
Seeing how confident Ling Xuan was, she could only choose to trust him!
Besides, she had more or less guessed what Ling Xuan was thinking!
If he could defeat this enhanced Minotaur, then together with all the monsters he had defeated earlier, he should have gathered enough Great Deeds to level up!
And even if Ling Xuan failed to defeat the Minotaur before him, it would not be a problem. She was here, after all!
If a Level 4 adventurer could not save someone from a Level 2 Minotaur, she might as well quit being an adventurer!
With that in mind, Ryu moved to the side and took up position.
As the two spoke, a silver light suddenly flashed across the Minotaur's body.
"MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The next second, the Minotaur turned into a cannonball and charged toward Ling Xuan at an astonishing speed.
This was the Minotaur's skill, Charge!
Faced with the monster's charge, Ling Xuan was briefly stunned.
"This monster actually has a skill."
Even as he thought that, Ling Xuan did not stop moving.
With a slight push from his feet, he sidestepped and immediately dodged the Minotaur's charge.
"Interesting. This monster not only has an adventurer's weapon, but even has a skill?"
After considering it briefly, Ling Xuan roughly understood where this Minotaur had come from.
This was probably another one of Freya's handiworks!
A Minotaur trained by Ota!
Good, good, you did well!
This meant he now had everything he needed to level up!
Meanwhile, a large group of people moved through narrow passages and small caverns!
They were members of the Loki Familia...
Tiona, Riveria, and the others were chatting, while Ais remained silent. For some reason, she was thinking back to
the special training from last night...
Tiona noticed that Ais seemed lost in thought.
She asked curiously,
"Ais, Ais, what are you thinking about? You look so absorbed that it seems like you haven't heard a word I said. Don't tell me you're thinking about your sweetheart?"
Everyone present froze slightly at those words!
And a faint blush appeared on Ais's face.
For some reason, when that subject came up, the person who appeared in her mind was Ling Xuan.
"N-No..."
Ais had merely been thinking about her special training with Ling Xuan.
Seeing the girl's reaction, Tiona's face immediately filled with astonishment.
"No way, did I actually guess right? Ais... has a sweetheart too."
As soon as those words fell!
Everyone present immediately showed expressions of surprise!
At the same time, they seemed to hear countless hearts shattering.
They were the broken hearts of the countless adventurers secretly in love with Ais!
"Could it be that genius we met before, the one capable of challenging someone above his level?"
"Mm, the adventurer who defeated a Level 2 Minotaur at Level 1? If it's that guy, he does seem like a good match for our Ais."
"He was just a little lucky..."
Bert the Werewolf said gloomily.
He knew full well that he was just being sour.
After all, even he—and even Ais—would never be able to challenge someone above their level like that!
Still, he believed Ling Xuan must have used some method to defeat that Minotaur!
As they discussed it, a monster's roar came from not far away, immediately drawing everyone's attention.
"That sound is...!!!"
Ais's expression immediately turned serious.
"Minotaur!!!"
"But this is only the thirteenth floor! Why would that monster appear here again?"
"Could it be... the Minotaur we let go last time?"
"That can't be, right? I remember we cleaned them all up."
"No matter what, we have to go where that sound came from. Otherwise, there probably won't be many adventurers on this floor who survive!"
With those words, everyone immediately set off toward the place where the Minotaur had appeared!
Back to the battle between Ling Xuan and the Minotaur!
Ling Xuan drew his spare adventurer's longsword and slashed fiercely at the Minotaur.
However, the attack clearly had no effect at all.
That was only natural. Minotaurs possessed physiques like heavy armor to begin with, and this one had undergone the strongest training!
The Minotaur before him had defenses that could be said to have reached the absolute limit.
Even so, Ling Xuan had no intention of stopping his attack.
He continued wielding the longsword in his hand, playing with the Minotaur before him.
Ling Xuan could keenly sense that this Minotaur was indeed different from the others.
Its strength, speed, stamina, and even its fighting style...
had all been enhanced to a considerable degree!
Yet when facing such an enemy, Ling Xuan instead wore an immensely satisfied expression.
"I can finally be sure. You're exactly the monster I need!"
As Ling Xuan spoke, excitement flickered in his eyes.
This was the best stepping stone for his level-up!

My Lord, Times Have Changed!
At this moment.
The Minotaur wielding a greatsword and the young man with an adventurer's blade flashing with cold light
refused to yield to one another as they continuously clashed.
The air rang with the fierce dance of swords!
Every collision between sword and sword erupted with an incomparable sound.
It was a powerful, thunderous crash that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.
