Chapter 303 The Entrustment of God Mihe, Goodbye Mary
Helping students in the school district expose a merchant's scam was just a minor incident for Roy, and he didn't take it to heart, including for Rafia Viridis.
It's true that the Astrea Familia is short of members, but he wouldn't stoop so low as to fawn over a Level 2 student. He'll let things take their course; it would be best if they could join, but he won't force it if they can't.
Crossing the street, Roy arrived at his destination, the Mih Family's residence—Azure Pharmacy. The wooden house didn't look nearly as luxurious as the Twilight Mansion or the Star Garden; it had a classic clinic decor, with two guards standing at the entrance like door gods.
"A madman?!"
Upon seeing Roy, the two guards were startled. Such an important figure wouldn't come to a small family like theirs without a reason.
Roy handed over the apples he had just bought. "Brothers, don't be nervous, have an apple."
The two were startled, then felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. A level 6, first-level adventurer, compared to them, two level 1...
The newbies addressed each other as brothers, and a feeling of gratitude and respect welled up in their hearts.
The feeling of being respected is undoubtedly wonderful and can make you feel good all day.
The two men carefully picked up an apple and politely asked, "What brings you here, sir?"
Roy shrugged and laughed, "Just call me by my name. Using my title makes it seem too formal."
"Then we won't stand on ceremony, Mr. Roy."
The two guards exchanged a glance and gradually lowered their guard. After all, their weak clan was nothing to be coveted by this "madman".
Roy smiled and said, "I need to see God Mihe. Please inform him, brothers."
"Okay!" The two nodded emphatically.
One of the guards rushed into the pharmacy, taking three steps at a time. Given Roy's strength and status, no one could stop him even if he forced his way in; they couldn't really take themselves for granted, since the pharmacy was giving them face.
A moment later, a young male god emerged. He had handsome features, hair as blue as the ocean, and azure eyes. He would occasionally squint, but unlike Loki, he was not cunning or shrewd. A gentle smile played on his lips, and he exuded the air of a refined gentleman. He was gentle and elegant, and there was a faint scent of herbs on his body. With his appearance, a trace of divine power filled the air.
Roy greeted him, "Michon."
"Child of the Astrea family, I keep hearing your name lately." Mihe smiled warmly; he had also watched the entire duel.
Any god who witnessed that thrilling duel, regardless of good or evil, would find it hard not to feel favorably toward Roy; that's why they descended to the mortal realm.
Roy was already recognized by all the gods as the perfect match.
It's a pity he's already powerful enough; otherwise, the gods would have been even more frantic in their pursuit of Roy than Apollo was back then.
Mihe warmly invited Roy inside. The Tianqing Pharmacy was open to the public, and there were still many patients waiting there, so it wasn't exactly the core area of the family compound.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and after a few rounds of tea, Roy got down to business, "God Mihe, the reason for this trip is to commission you to make a elixir."
"I see, I understand now, it's a custom-made elixir, isn't it?" Mihe understood almost instantly.
Roy nodded. Mih was not a god of medicine, but a deity who was proficient in herbs and pharmacology. He was not in the same field as the Deankat Familia, so although both of them had businesses of healing and selling elixirs, they were not considered competitors.
Then, Roy took out a World Tree fruit from a paper bag, which was actually a spatial ring, and placed it on the table. "God Mih, look, this is the material."
"This is?"
Upon seeing the World Tree fruit, Mih's narrowed eyes widened slightly, a hint of seriousness appearing between his brows. "Roy, may I pick it up and take a look?"
Roy said, "Of course."
Mih carefully picked up the World Tree fruit, as if it were a precious and fragile piece of glass. He examined it closely, his brows furrowing more and more, sometimes showing surprise, sometimes sighing, and finally turning into a complex expression.
Roy asked, "God Mihe, can this fruit be used to concoct a magical elixir?"
Mih nodded, "Okay, but we need Astraea's divine blood as the material."
Upon hearing this, Roy understood that the other party already knew the truth about the World Tree Fruit; truly a god. He pulled out several small bottles and placed them on the table, containing Astraea's divine blood and the sacred spring water of the Great Sacred Tree—
Roy said, "Materials are not a problem!"
Mihe looked at the materials on the table, and after a moment, as if he had made up his mind, said, "Roy, I can make you a elixir, and I won't charge you any fees—"
Roy frowned. He wasn't short of money and wasn't afraid of the other party charging exorbitant fees, but he was afraid that the other party wouldn't ask for money. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
As expected, Mich said, "In exchange, I want to ask you to do something."
Roy thought to himself, "As expected, what's free is the most expensive." He added, "As long as it's within my power."
Mih's face turned worried. "Actually, my children went on an expedition to the dungeon five days ago. In the past two days, I have been able to sense that Grace is becoming unstable. Perhaps something has happened to someone. Please go into the dungeon and keep an eye on them for me."
Roy lowered his head in thought. Given the strength of the Mih Familia, the expedition would most likely be a mid-level one.
"good!"
Seeing Roy agree, Mih looked grateful and relieved. In truth, this matter was somewhat related to Roy. Roy's earth-shattering duel with the cat-man had inspired countless people to impulsively venture into the dungeon, hoping to become the next Roy.
Members of the Mih clan were among them.
The gods can sense the life and death of their kin through their blessings. This extraordinary blessing kept Mih awake at night.
In the past two days, Mih has been searching for help from other clans and has also posted a request with the guild, but no one has accepted the request yet.
The reason is the same: the main force of other clans is also on an expedition to the dungeon, or busy recruiting outstanding students from the school district, so no one has time to accept commissions.
Just then, Roy bumped into him.
For Roy at LV.6, resolving issues at the upper and middle levels is hardly a "problem".
Roy left the other two World Tree fruits behind. He couldn't expect the other party to succeed on the first try. It was normal to have failures and losses when concocting new elixirs. He wasn't afraid that the other party would steal the World Tree fruits. Only the Astrea Familia could use these things, even after they were made into elixirs!
Roy then set off for the Tower of Babel.
Bang!
Roy tensed his leg muscles and suddenly exerted force. His body, as light as a feather, was swept up by the gale and traced an arc in mid-air, leaping over towering houses and buildings, and landing hundreds of meters away.
At level 6, his physical abilities are no different from Superman's.
Then, Roy exerted force with his legs again, and with each jump, he covered a distance of hundreds of meters.
The powerful leg strength did not damage the floor or any buildings; it was effortless. Without exceptional dexterity, this would be impossible.
In less than two minutes, Roy arrived at Babel Tower Square, greeted the Ganesha guards at the entrance, and entered the underground city amidst the astonished gazes of those around him.
On the way, Roy remembered that the Mih Familia was initially a strong family comparable to the Apollo Familia. Familias related to medicine could not possibly be poor. However, due to an incident, it quickly declined.
Naza Elise lost an arm in the dungeon. Mih commissioned the Dean Clan to create a prosthetic arm that was indistinguishable from a normal one, even going into debt.
This incident caused other members to lose faith in the clan, and they all converted to other religions, eventually ending up sitting at the same table as the former Hestia Spring Clan.
It has to be said, Mich made the right choice.
Even for rescues in the upper levels of the dungeon, even those at LV.7 level like Ota and Leon Wadenberg were less effective than Roy, who possessed a unique advantage.
The power of the earth!
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Roy immediately activated his skill, and everything from the first to the twenty-fourth floor appeared in his mind.
Complex terrain, ferocious monsters, and adventurers struggling through hardship, all accompanied by wails and despair.
Roy ignored the adventurers who were brutally killed by monsters; there were simply too many to save. Entering the dungeon meant accepting the possibility of death.
Set aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.
After searching the upper and middle levels, Roy found no trace of the Mih Familia members, which made him frown. Would those guys be so reckless as to commit suicide?
If it's not in the upper or middle level, then it must be in the lower level!
Below the 24th floor lies the Water City, an area beyond the reach of the Earth's power, making it doubly difficult to find people.
Fortunately, they had a good god. Roy had a thought and manipulated the terrain of the upper level of the underground city. Using his power, he opened a passage that led directly to the twenty-fourth floor. A circular hole with a radius of about two meters appeared on the ground. The inside was bottomless and a cold wind was howling.
Roy showed no fear, leaped down into the round hole, and his body plummeted downwards.
boom!!
As he free-falls, a deafening roar resounds like a meteor falling to earth. Roy's body traverses twenty-four floors, carrying immense force, before crashing heavily onto the solid rock!
A terrifying impact erupted!
Centered on Roy's landing point, massive, spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly, and sharp fragments of rock shot out like countless cannonballs! The entire floor seemed to be brutally trampled by an invisible, primordial beast.
Not only those on that floor, but also the adventurers on the floors above and below could feel the violent tremor, their expressions changing drastically, unaware that it was a man-made anomaly.
Roy didn't break any bones; his legs were just a little numb, similar to what an average person feels when jumping from a height of three meters. He recovered after a few moments.
The twenty-fourth floor was still under the control of the power. Roy did not linger. With a flicker, he transformed into a blurry afterimage and entered the Water Maze.
The environment changed abruptly. The surging river flowed ceaselessly, and the damp, cold air replaced the dryness and dust above. Countless figures lurked beneath the surface.
Starting from the Water City, monsters lurking in dark waterways and hiding behind slippery rock walls emerge like sharks that have smelled blood.
The ferocious blue crab brandished its pincers, the slippery aquatic giant snake bared its fangs, and countless unnamed, foul-smelling black shadows swarmed out from the water and shadows from all directions, hissing with greed and slaughter as they pounced on Roy.
Faced with the surging tide of monsters, Roy's eyes remained calm and undisturbed. He didn't even stop walking; the elven holy sword was still repairing itself, and golden lightning surged from his palm, materializing into a longsword.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Roy casually swung his arm, the blade slicing through the air, its cold light precisely slaying the monsters that pounced on him. Many monsters turned to ashes, magic stone fragments fell like rain, and a small amount of materials also fell.
At LV.6, he uses a magically formed weapon that has reached the epic level. Although it cannot compare to high-quality weapons like Ryu's Elf Flowing Light Dragon Staff and Tiona's Great Twin Blades, it is perfectly adequate for everyday use.
The icy glint easily pierced the monster's tough skin and carapace, striking the magic stone within its body.
When the number of monsters becomes so great that they block the way.
A blinding light suddenly erupted from Roy's palm, and a burst of violent golden lightning instantly followed.
Boom!!
A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as a golden dragon, swept out from his center! Destructive currents raged wildly! Wherever it passed, the densely packed monsters that had surrounded him didn't even have time to scream before they were swept away in the blinding golden light, their magic stones turning to ashes along with them.
With his current strength, let alone the Water City, even on the thirty-seventh floor of the "White Palace," as long as he doesn't encounter the floor master, he can easily cut through everything.
The path ahead was cleared with magic.
Roy continued his rapid journey into the depths of the Water City without stopping.
"Roy!"
A few minutes later, a soft, melodious call made Roy stop in his tracks. He turned to look at the surging river and saw a beautiful and lovely mermaid girl appear on the surface of the water, excitedly greeting him.
Heretic Mary!
As Roy approached the shore, Mary leaped up and happily landed in Roy's arms.
Roy held the mermaid girl's soft, boneless body in his arms, a smile on his face. It had been a while since he had seen her. The Water Mystery was vast, divided into three levels, and it wasn't always possible to run into her.
"Roy! Roy! Roy!" Mary smiled innocently and clung to Roy happily.
Roy was in a good mood upon seeing Mary again, but he didn't forget his business and asked, "Mary, are there any other adventurers on this floor?"
Roy briefly described the characteristics of the Mih Familia members. Upon hearing about the dog-woman wielding a bow and arrow, Mari's eyes lit up, and she pointed in a direction, "Over there!"
Bang!
Roy, carrying Mary, ran wildly in the direction the other pointed. His figure shot out, and with a light push of his legs, he appeared dozens of meters away.
A fierce wind howled, and everything around them rushed past at incredible speed. An excited Mary shouted, "So fast! So fast! Roy is so amazing!"
Aside from her mind-controlling singing voice and the top-tier healing material of mermaid blood, Mary's potential ability was only LV.2. She was a monster she usually avoided, but Roy blasted her into dust with a single lightning strike.
Roy had a confident smile on his lips. Now, even if he encountered the LV.5 floor master, Amphispina, he could easily defeat him.
The difference between each level is as huge as an insurmountable chasm!
Ability value is considered a minor realm, while level is a major realm. For an adventurer who is one level ahead, in good condition and without holding back, failing to kill someone one level lower within three moves is a lifelong disgrace.
After traveling about five or six kilometers, Roy appeared in a large cavern composed of blue rock walls.
At this moment, a fierce battle, or rather a one-sided massacre, is taking place inside the cave.
Among the members of the Mih Familia was a colossal dragon, nearly ten meters long, with smooth, blue and white scales as tough as iron. It hovered in the air, its long fins swaying slowly like wings, making it appear as if it were swimming leisurely in the sea.
The rare blue dragon is most notable for leaving behind trails of red, white-green, and blue-purple light wherever it goes, creating a beautiful scene. Among adventurers, it is also known as the "Aurora Dragon".
The rare species of the Water Maze has a potential ability of LV.3, comparable to a Blood Dragon with a level 30 or higher, but its numbers are far fewer than Blood Dragons. If an ordinary adventurer encounters one in the Water Maze, it means they are extremely unlucky.
The Mih Familia's party had two or three LV.2 adventurers, and the rest were LV.1, not newbies, but veterans with stats generally above E.
Even without encountering the floor master or rare species in the Water Mystery, one can barely manage to get by.
But they were just that unlucky.
Roar!
The blue dragon's roar was so intimidating that even a level 1 adventurer felt utterly powerless.
This is a genuine dragon, recognized by guilds and adventurers as the strongest race of monsters, a level above other monsters of the same rank.
Roy glanced over and saw that the level 1 adventurers of the Mih Familia were either dead or crippled, leaving only level 2 adventurers struggling to hold on, exhausted.
The figure of the dog-woman girl Naza Elise appeared in the corner, one sleeve was empty, and not far away there was a bloody severed arm.
The dragon monsters have extremely keen senses. When Roy appeared, the blue dragon turned its head, its ferocious eyes staring warily at Roy at the entrance of the cave.
Roar!
Blue Dragon decisively abandoned the minions and set its sights on the greater threat, Roy. It opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a torrent of blue-purple gas.
Roy put Mary down and faced the blue dragon's corrosive breath alone.
The F-level abnormal resistance formed a faint, multicolored glow on Roy's body. Bathed in the torrent spewed by the blue dragon, he showed no reaction.
Even if you stay inside a level 3 blue dragon for two hours, its breath might not be able to break through his defenses.
boom!
The solid rock beneath Roy's feet shattered with a deafening roar, and his figure, like a golden meteor breaking free from its restraints, tore through the surging aura and dragon's might ahead.
He dashed out with a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to perceive, his target being the blue dragon that was coiled in the center of the cave, radiating a terrifying pressure!
The blue dragon's pupils flashed with savagery and astonishment.
However, Roy's fist was already upon him!
His right fist, imbued with pure physical strength capable of shaking mountains, landed squarely on the blue dragon's forehead, which was as hard as refined steel.
Click!
With a chilling crack, the thick, proud scales on the blue dragon's head shattered into countless fragments before this immense force.
The blue dragon's massive body stiffened violently, the ferocity and light in its dragon eyes instantly extinguished, and with a "boom," its nearly ten-meter-long body vanished into nothingness.
"The Madman!"
Seeing this, the members of the Mih Familia were dumbfounded. The dragon monster that had almost wiped them out had been dealt to them by Roy without him even using a weapon, just with a single punch.
Mary was overjoyed and clapped her little hands.
The instant Mary's palms touched, Roy smiled helplessly. The heretic couldn't be exposed yet. He unleashed an even faster speed than before, and the powerful force shattered the ground, causing countless afterimages to flicker inside the cave.
Snapped!
As Mary clapped, just as the members of the Mih Familia turned their heads, Roy, who had swiftly passed by, delivered a karate chop to each of them, knocking them unconscious.
The cave became completely quiet.
"Roy, you're amazing!" Mary exclaimed excitedly, as if she had witnessed the happiest thing in the world.
"You."
Roy affectionately rubbed Mary's head. To conceal the other party's existence, he had spent more energy knocking out the members of the Mih Familia than he had instantly killed the Blue Dragon.
"—Reveal yourself, for this is the realm of flowing life, the Light of Healing resides here, and I will soothe the destruction of the world. My name is Alf!"
"Sacred Sky!"
Then, Roy used Professor Rivera's magic, the third-tier Divine Azure, to unleash a sacred field of light, healing all his teammates.
Enveloping an area of fifty to sixty meters around, golden particle light emerged, containing life force transformed from Roy's powerful spiritual energy, and the injuries on the members of the Mih Familia healed at a visible speed.
The more troublesome case is Naza Elise, whose severed limbs cannot be regenerated even by the Divine Sky.
Roy turned to the mermaid girl. "Marie, can you reattach her severed arm?"
"Um!"
Without hesitation, Mary bit her finger, drew blood, and stuffed it into the dog-woman's mouth. Roy took Naza's severed arm and reattached it to the wound.
Under the miraculous effect of the mermaid's blood, new granulation tissue rapidly grew from Naza Elise's severed surface, connecting nerves, bones, and skin—ultimately making her indistinguishable from a perfectly intact state.
"Alright, alright!"
Roy looked at Mary's still bleeding fingers with heartache. She wasn't even one of his own. It was more than enough that he had reattached her severed arm. This was priceless mermaid blood; it would be a huge loss to let her drink even a little more.
"Hehe!" Mary smiled happily, her eyes curving like bright crescent moons, pleased that she could help Roy.
Roy was touched. What a naive and silly girl. Mary didn't even know Naza Elise in front of her. She gave up her mermaid blood for him.
