My Kevin Template Joined the Chat Group

After roughly surveying the surroundings, he found no passage leading anywhere else.

If an ordinary adventurer encountered a scene like this, they would probably choose to turn back the way they came.

But...

Ling Xuan merely narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next second.

With a "crack."

Along with that sound.

The strange noise grew louder and louder.

Crack, crack.

In the previously silent hall, an eerie sound of something breaking rang out.

Ling Xuan was not surprised in the slightest by this sight.

Although there was not a single trace of any monster visible in this unobstructed hall.

That was merely the surface of things...

Ling Xuan's gaze settled on a certain spot.

It was a pale green Dungeon wall.

The sounds coming from a section of the labyrinth wall directly ahead grew increasingly louder.

Before long.

The labyrinth wall in front of him broke apart.

Ling Xuan watched it all with some curiosity.

"Oh? So this is how monsters are born. Interesting."

Ling Xuan said curiously.

That was right. In this world.

Monsters were born from the Dungeon.

And what he was seeing now was actually a monster breaking through the labyrinth wall from within and being born as a living creature.

Skipping the process of growth, it directly became a tough, mature individual capable of fighting immediately.

In other words, this massive underground labyrinth—the Dungeon—was the womb that birthed the monsters threatening humanity.

The monster extended its hand from the cracks in the wall and clawed wildly through the air, forcibly creating fractures in the surface as parts of its body emerged one after another into the outside air.

Fragments of the Dungeon scattered across the floor.

Finally, an especially loud cracking sound rang out, and the monster's feet landed on the ground.

Very quickly, a brand-new monster appeared before Ling Xuan.

If he had to use a word to describe the monster before him, it would probably be "shadow."

It was around 160 centimeters tall, completely black from head to toe, with the outlines of its limbs extremely close to those of a human.

However, it had no tissue resembling fur or skin. Its entire body looked as though it had been coated in black paint.

Only within its cross-shaped head was there a perfectly round component, perhaps its face, like a small mirror.

It was an aberrant monster that looked as though a shadow itself had taken form!

Seeing this, the corners of Ling Xuan's lips rose slightly!

"Those characteristics really do make it a War Shadow!"

As he spoke, an excited expression appeared on Ling Xuan's face.

Then, as if he had recalled something.

He took a quick look at the Chat Group and found that it did indeed have an image-sending function.

Immediately, he sent out a picture of the War Shadow.

Ling Xuan: Folks, who gets it? I was just adventuring in the Dungeon, and then this shameless Dungeon went and did something this indecent right in front of me. 'Image'

Elysia: !!!! What is that monster? Is it something like a Honkai Beast? It doesn't seem quite right either!?

Izayoi Sakamaki: Monsters, Dungeon... I see. You must be one of those legendary adventurers. Still, that monster looks pretty interesting!

Bronya: According to Heavy Bunny's calculations, this monster is absolutely impossible to exist in our world. In other words, it is not a Honkai Beast!

Aizen: Those monsters seem rather weak... That is a little disappointing!

Elysia: I won't comment without knowing its strength, but you should still be careful when facing monsters like that, @Ling Xuan.

Izayoi Sakamaki: Relax. Since he can joke about it like that, he must still be in the mood to have fun. Anyone who can have fun in that state is either an idiot or confident in their own strength. No matter how I look at it, he should be the latter!

While the group members chatted away, Ling Xuan glanced at the Chat Group before turning his attention back to the monster in front of him.

Suddenly...

There was another crack!

This time, the sound came from behind him.

Another War Shadow rose from the ground in the same manner.

"Oh? I didn't expect two War Shadows to spawn at once. But even if it is two against one, it still cannot change the outcome at all!"

As Ling Xuan spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the two monsters were preparing to attack Ling Xuan from the front and rear.

Ling Xuan was not nervous at all.

Unfortunately, these monsters did not possess a language system.

Thus, faced with his words, the two monsters merely stood up silently and assumed their battle stances.

The mirror-like faces that emitted an unusual gleam fixed their sights on Ling Xuan, their prey.

"Mindless monsters, huh... Forget it. Let's end this quickly!"

The moment his words fell, the dual-pistol form of Heaven's Fire Judgement appeared in his hands.

Who the hell still fought in melee these days?

Eat shit, old man!

With two gunshots, two fire dragon-like flames appeared on the battlefield!

The next instant, they swallowed the two newly born War Shadows whole!

An unquestionable instant kill!

At the same time, a cold mechanical voice echoed beside Ling Xuan's ear.

Ding! Detected that the host has slain War Shadows. Obtained skill "Agility Boost." "Strength Boost Level 1 → Level 2"!

An Adventurer Who Challenged Above His Level

Hearing that cold mechanical voice, a surprised expression appeared on Ling Xuan's face.

He had not expected that this kill would not only grant him Agility Boost, but would also level up Strength Boost.

But on second thought, it made sense.

War Shadows possessed sharp "fingers."

At the ends of their abnormally long arms were three fingers, their sharp tips shaped like daggers.

Their speed was far beyond that of Goblins or Earth Spirits.

It could even be said that in terms of pure combat ability, War Shadows were unrivaled among the monsters on the sixth floor.

Within the first through twelfth floors of the Dungeon, defined as the Upper Floors, War Shadows could be considered the most difficult monsters for novice adventurers to deal with.

The rewards for killing these two monsters were quite good as well!

A satisfied expression appeared on Ling Xuan's face!

"Looks like this haul is pretty good!"

As he said this, Ling Xuan suddenly seemed to recall something.

"System, bring up my status panel."

The moment his words fell.

Immediately.

A huge virtual screen appeared before Ling Xuan.

Host: Ling Xuan

Familia: Hestia Familia

Level: Level 1

Strength: B:777 (+200)

Endurance: D:565

Dexterity: E:485

Agility: C:604 (+100)

Magic: H:101

Magic Spells: None

Skills: Ice Control: Lv1, Fusion Warrior, Human Chimera, Strength Boost Level 2, Agility Boost Level 1, ××××, ××××...

Ling Xuan was quite satisfied as he looked at the attributes on the panel before him. It seemed that this Dungeon trip had earned him quite a few abilities again.

With that thought, Ling Xuan also glanced at the group chat.

Elysia: Why has it been so long? Ling Xuan hasn't said anything. Don't tell me something really happened to him?

Bronya: That seems unlikely, right? Didn't he get involved with a Goddess? He shouldn't be weak enough for anything to happen to him, should he?

Watching everyone discuss it animatedly, Ling Xuan tapped lightly with his finger.

Soon, a line of text appeared in the group chat.

Ling Xuan: Don't worry, there's no problem. I'm perfectly safe. 'Image' 'Image'

Seeing Ling Xuan's message, everyone sighed in relief!

Izayoi Sakamaki: Those two monsters had it rough. They were blasted into ashes... But judging from the marks on the ground, Ling Xuan, can you control flames?

Bronya: What a waste. Just from the pictures alone, one can tell how destructive the scene was. If this were in our world, you would definitely be a key force in resisting the Honkai!

Aizen: Hmm, that destructive power is indeed somewhat interesting... It seems your world cannot be underestimated either!

Elysia: Those marks look a little familiar... They feel somewhat like the damage caused by Heaven's Fire Judgement, but thinking about it carefully, that should be impossible. After all, we are from two different worlds...

Seeing Elysia's message.

????

Ling Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Damn, she nearly guessed it??

Just by looking at the destruction marks, she suspected that Heaven's Fire Judgement had caused them?

That was a little too sharp, wasn't it!?

Just as Ling Xuan was thinking this, a series of footsteps rang out!

They drew Ling Xuan's attention.

Was it a monster? Or...?
