He's Just Not Normal

Afterwards, Leo and his group of five continued their journey, encountering numerous battles along the way.

It has to be said that after reaching the 51st Floor, a very deep area, the frequency of monster appearances is really high, and each time they appear in groups, there are never any alone, which means that every adventurer who enters this floor has to face multiple monsters.

Fighting several monsters alone is common here, as is fighting dozens of monsters. Sometimes, you even have to face hundreds of monsters by yourself. If you're not careful, you'll be surrounded and killed. Even level 5 adventurers don't dare to be careless or underestimate their opponents in this place.

Despite this astonishing monster respawn rate, Tiona still made a rather listless comment.

"It's quite quiet today, much more relaxing than when I've come here before."

According to this little Amazonian angel, today's 51st Floor is actually a significant reduction in difficulty. In the past, when they came here, they basically had no time to rest. Unless they fought against the endless hordes of monsters for most of the day, there was no chance that the number of monsters here would decrease.

Unlike today, after a fight, you can leisurely travel for a while. Compared to the frequency of battles in the past, it's almost like a vacation.

Of course, this does not mean that today's 51st Floor can be easily conquered; it's just that it was much easier than before. If it weren't for Ais, Tiona, Tione holding the line, the Black Rhino that would suddenly charge out from time to time would have been enough to give Leo and the others a hard time.

The three girls, who were the same age as Leo, were incredibly powerful. Not only were they stronger than ordinary Lv.5 first-level adventurers, but each one of them was also exceptional.

Tiona repeatedly achieved victories with her unparalleled strength and sweeping fighting style. Even the thick-skinned Black Rhino could not last a single round against her large twin blades, Ullr. Those twin blades, which swirled like windmills, were a complete meat grinder. No monster could escape unscathed. Losing a leg or a limb was considered lucky; most were simply strangled on the spot, with no chance of survival.

Tione was much more composed than Tiona, mostly displaying skill rather than brute force. A pair of recurve blades seemed to dance in her hands, twirling at will, leaping up and down to sharply slay monsters one by one, unlike Tiona was so savage. But sometimes she would click her tongue impatiently, her aura suddenly becoming much rougher, making people tremble with fear.

Compared to the Amazon twins, Ais remained silent and fought without uttering a word, yet the carnage she created was no less brutal than the former two, and perhaps even more shocking.

Each strike of her silver military knife claimed the life of a monster, either cleaving it in two at the waist, from head to toe, or splitting it in two from shoulder to rib. Her swordsmanship was so sharp that it sent chills down Leo's spine.

It was only after seeing this scene that Leo realized just how much mercy Ais, who usually sparred with him, had been holding back.

If he were facing Ais like this, even now that he's reached Lv.3, he probably wouldn't last three moves, right?

This is the best-case scenario; the worst-case scenario is that, like those monsters, you won't even have time to react before being cleaved in two.

Anyway, most of the time Leo couldn't keep up with Ais's speed here. Not to mention catching the trajectory of her slashes, sometimes even after she rushed out, it would take him a while to find the afterimage she left behind and hear the whistling wind.

This demonstrates just how powerful these three girls, only sixteen years old, truly are.

"Those three should be close to Lv.6 by now, right?"

Leo was absolutely certain of this.

Even without considering the original plot, he could tell this from the three people's behavior.

Ais, in particular, has been at Lv.5 for over three years now, and her stats at Lv.5 are almost at their limit. Once she achieves enough accomplishments, she will be able to advance to Lv.6 immediately.

At that time, Ais will become the youngest Lv.6 in the entire Orario.

Tiona and Tione are in a similar situation, both only lacking some significant achievements to level up. Therefore, all three are currently at the highest level of Lv.5, just one step away from Lv.6.

That's why they were able to slaughter the monsters on the 51st Floor with such ease, which was truly astonishing.

At least, a typical Lv.5 would definitely not have such capabilities.

Of course, Leo, who was thinking this way, didn't know that in the eyes of Ais and the other two, he was also a very outrageous person.

They could slaughter the monsters on the 51st Floor as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. Leo could also show off his dazzling meteor magic, killing monsters on the spot as long as he hit them, and he could also playfully toy with the monsters in various ways.

Ais and the others witnessed two monsters being attracted by the meteor released by Leo, chasing it all over the place. Then, under Leo's control, they actually collided with each other, and the attacks they originally intended to launch at the meteor ended up hitting each other instead, causing them to kill each other.

"Can magic be used like this?"

Tiona couldn't help but say that, which further irritated the dejected Lefiya Viridis.

Compared to Leo and Ais, Lefiya Viridis's performance was indeed much worse. Although her magic could also harm the monsters on this floor, and she had the ability to defeat the monsters here, just like Leo, she always got stuck during the battle and couldn't chant the spells at all.

Protected by Leo and the others, Lefiya Viridis was able to regain her composure and successfully chant spells when monsters didn't rush at her. However, once a monster targeted her or charged at her, she was basically helpless and couldn't chant smoothly at all.

"You're only Lv.3, take your time, there's no need to rush."

Tione continued to comfort her, but normally she was fine, but with such a stark contrast beside her, how could Lefiya Viridis possibly be comforted?

"Leo is also Lv.3----"

Lefiya Viridis pointed at Leo, who was moving like a fish in water among the monsters, with a puzzled look on her face.

"This----"

Ais, Tiona, Tione were speechless as they watched the scene unfold.

Lefiya Viridis gets attacked by monsters, and so does Leo.

But every time he was attacked head-on, he could calmly unleash magic to blast the attacking monster away. He could even dodge and maneuver like a nimble wind while dodging the monster's attacks and launching magical counterattacks with ease.

The girls stared at each other in bewilderment at his skillful Parallel Chanting technique.

Don't compare yourself to him.

Therefore, that was all Tiona and Tione could say.

He's not a normal person.

Leo felt offended upon hearing this.

It was just Parallel Chanting, and I've already been expelled from the human race?

In his view, Parallel Chanting in parallel is not difficult. As long as you can maintain a good mindset and stay calm at all times during battle, it is not hard to learn.

Especially for someone like him, whose spells are only a very short incantation and are very easy to control, and who can even abandon the incantation to cast spells in an emergency, learning to Parallel Chanting will definitely be much easier than for an ordinary Mage.

In contrast, Lefiya Viridis's spells are almost never short-chantment type; at the very least, they are short-chantment. She can also cast wide-area annihilation spells with long and super-long chants. To cast such powerful spells, the concentration required is much greater than Leo's. To cast them while Parallel Chanting is at least ten times more difficult than for Leo.

Furthermore, Lefiya Viridis's mentality is not up to par; she is prone to nervousness, lacks experience in dealing with strong enemies, and has poor ability to cope with unexpected situations. It would be a miracle if she could still perform Parallel Chanting under these circumstances.

"You should get used to it first."

Finally, Leo offered this advice.

"When you can treat the monsters here like carrots, then you'll be able to redeem yourself."

In this way, the group of five successfully made their way up to the 51st Floor.

The further you go, the quieter the Dungeon becomes, and monsters appear less frequently, allowing a chilling sense of unease to spread.

The five of them walked through uneven passages of varying heights, crossed roads that branched into many paths, and traversed complex terrain, remaining vigilant as they made their way to their destination using the map in their hands.

They strayed from the proper route to the 52nd Floor and continued venturing deeper into the 51st Floor.

"Isn't this a bit too quiet?"

Even Tiona was walking at the front, couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Ais and Tione exchanged a glance, finally realizing that something was wrong.

"Today is indeed a bit strange," Tione said in a deep voice. "Although we're getting closer to Cadmus's Fountain, it shouldn't be this quiet."

"----There are no more monsters." Ais was extremely sensitive to the presence of monsters, and after glancing around, she said, "I can't sense any presence."

"Could it be... Strong Dragon has appeared?" Lefiya Viridis said nervously, "Have all the monsters nearby been wiped out by the Strong Dragon?"

Leo did not participate in the conversation and walked silently.

The group of five walked through the last one-way street and arrived at an open space.

This is the main hall of a cave.

Leo and the others stopped in front of the cave.

"Arrive."

Tiona pointed to the interior of the cave and said something.

"Is Cadmus Spring in this cave?"

Upon hearing this, neither Ais nor Tione spoke.

Both of them had their brows furrowed, especially Ais, whose eyes were darting around as she looked into the cave.

Leo also looked into the cave, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He noticed something unusual.

Did you hear that?

Tione spoke with a serious expression.

"What?"

Tiona and Lefiya Viridis were both somewhat puzzled.

The next second, they heard Ais's voice.

There's something fighting inside.

Ais paused for a moment before continuing.

"They fought very fiercely."
