The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dak quickly filled a small backpack to the brim, then attached the straps and tried carrying it; it was a little heavy.

　However, considering that he would probably be staying in the dungeon for two days and two nights, this was the limit he could reduce.

　Moreover, once the collection begins, without the "Dungeon Storage Box", a sturdy bag for storing various materials will be necessary.

　Since we'll eventually need to summon a magical spirit to carry it anyway, wouldn't it be perfectly normal to have the magical spirit carry the backpack from the very beginning?

　So Dak didn't pay much attention to the weight of the backpack.

　Considering that summoning second-tier magical spirits in the dungeon isn't very convenient, he plans to choose one from the second-tier magical spirits to carry his backpack and another for frontal protection.

　Tailmon and Leomon, both humanoid and powerful, are clearly the best choices.

　Ensuring the continued existence of these two magical spirits is no longer a problem for him.

　After Dark made his preparations, he went to the Magical Beasts Society, gathered all the magical spirits together, and once again explained the time and purpose of this dungeon trip.

　Since he couldn't be sure if he would encounter a situation in the dungeon where he would need to use "Paradise," he put "Paradise" away and carried all the magical spirits except for Agumon with him.

　The magical spirits expressed their support for this matter, and were even excited about it.

　They were all eager to enter the dungeon and show off their skills.

　Agumon, who wasn't excluded, was slightly disappointed. But after rubbing the little head of the Guhuoniao in its arms, it felt relieved.

　It is a familiar of the "club" itself, and taking care of the "club" is its duty.

　"Then the next two days are in your hands!"

　"Dak said solemnly."

　"Do not worry."

　Agumon puffed out its chest and nodded vigorously.

　……

　Shortly afterward, the other three members of the Fantastic Beasts Club gathered in the clubroom.

　Katrina and Britney have both accepted the "Guide" quest, and they will each lead Diana and Rose into the dungeon to complete their first real adventure.

　The two third-year students weren't the type to frequently visit the dungeon, but they were perfectly capable of serving as "guides" for the first ten floors.

　Diana and Rose were both quite cautious.

　The two girls, one carrying a bear bag and the other a rabbit bag, started chattering away as soon as they entered the classroom, asking each other what else they needed to bring.

　Once they were all ready, the group of five said goodbye to Agumon and left for the castle’s dining hall.

　It was 10:30 in the morning, but the cafeteria was already packed with people.

　The largest group consisted of second-year students and third-year students who were responsible for "leading the way."

　Not every second-year student has a third-year student next to them.

　A capable third-year student can easily take care of several second-year students at the same time.

　Of course, there are also lone wolves like Dark.

　They ate in the canteen beforehand so that they would have more time to explore after entering the dungeon.

　Dak found a six-person table against the wall and sat down, casually observing the students in the cafeteria.

　Most of the second-year students chose to stick together.

　Just like in Doron and Pistan's team, there were a total of six second-year students and two third-year students.

　On the other side, Emma can be seen with her two classmates, accompanied by a third-grade student who looks unfamiliar.

　As for Witt… right next to him was Scott, who had already moved up to the third year!

　Scott Hearst, who finally passed the Duel Club's assessment this year and became a formal duelist, is a true bottom of the class among the third-year students.

　But in the Marine Biology Department, Scott was the third-year student who was closest to Witt.

　Even if it was just to get him 1000 credits, Victor had a reason to choose him as his mentor.

　The two sat facing each other, with Robert, who was not allowed to enter the underground city, beside them.

　Despite this, Robert was not discouraged at all; his naturally loud voice only annoyed those around him.

　but no matter.

　The second-year students who were allowed to enter the dungeon were clearly well-prepared.

　……

　Before noon.

　Almost everyone had already gathered in the plaza at the entrance to the underground city and was waiting.

　At the foot of the Colossus Angel, two student council members are shouting to remind students about to enter the dungeon not to forget to rent a "Dungeon Escape Device".

　The older students, excluding those in the second and third grades, had also formed a line and were waiting outside.

　They were mostly in groups of three, with calm expressions, exchanging information with each other.

　"Have you put on the 'Dungeon Escape Device'?"

　Before entering the dungeon, Dark reminded them again.

　Diana and Rose both raised their hands, showing off the "Dungeon Escape Devices" on their wrists.

　Katrina and Britney couldn't help but laugh, "If you're so worried, why don't you come with us?"

　Dark shrugged and said, "I have my own purpose."

　As soon as he finished speaking, the clock struck twelve, and the sound of the clock tower echoed gently from the direction of the spiral clock tower.

　The students waiting in the open-air plaza slowly stood up and looked toward the "underground city entrance".

　It was a huge archway about twenty meters high.

　The square gateposts are carved with incantation-like patterns, and the width between the two gateposts is more than ten meters.

　As soon as the time arrived, someone gently tapped the doorpost, and a large amount of magic power gushed out from the grooves on the inside of the doorpost, quickly forming a giant magic gate like a curtain of water.

　Immediately afterwards, the students who had been waiting entered the gate one after another.

　Dak and his group of five followed the crowd and crossed the door without hesitation, arriving at the reception hall on the first floor of the underground city.

　In an instant, the aura of the underground city rushed towards us.

　Dak felt his heart skip two beats and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

　Even he was like that, let alone the other second-year students.

　They stopped briefly at the entrance, causing a slight congestion.

　Located in the center of the reception room, the mermaid statue floating above the altar continues to emit a faint, ethereal blue glow.

　The upperclassmen, holding the "door key," activated the mermaid statue as soon as they reached it, and the three-person group then passed through the door and ventured deep into the dungeon.

　The second-year students, following the guide's instructions, also went to the mermaid statue to collect magic.

　First, use the "Magic Collector" to collect the energy, then use the "Magic Needle" to collect the energy.

　Since the third graders have taken on the task of being "guides," they certainly won't just take them on a tour of the underground city.

　They will patiently teach you the necessary procedures and precautions.

　Of course, some third-year students who need guidance themselves are not in this category.

　……

　"So we're parting ways here?"

　After completing the two collections, Dark spoke to Diana and the others.

　Diana pouted, looking like she didn't want to talk.

　Rose had no choice but to say, "Be careful."

　"Don't worry." Dark pointed to his left and right protectors, a broad smile on his face.

　Tailmon carried a small bag on its back, while Leomon crossed its arms, exuding a calm and composed aura.

　As for the little Devimon perched on Dark's shoulder, it also dutifully played the role of the "atmosphere team".

　Few students could keep so many magical spirits with them like he did.

　For safety, most people only summon a familiar and a first-tier magical spirit; the former scouts the way, and the latter protects them.

　Darko Dimon attracted attention from the very beginning.

　……

　After parting ways with the members of the Fantastic Beasts Company, Dark quickly got into adventure mode.

　He had planned to go solo when he first entered the dungeon last semester. However, Professor Nini's insistence on forming groups of three forced him to team up with Diana and Rose.

　Fortunately, they had good luck in the end, not only encountering a "hidden room" but also discovering a level boss.

　In his last adventure, he didn't have a specific goal; he just wanted to gain more adventure experience.

　But this time was different; he came with a purpose from the very beginning.

　"Let's try our luck and see how the feng shui is today."

　After leaving the reception room for a while, Dark summoned the "Greedy Slime".

　A slimy, plant-green slime lay in his palm, its body wriggling slightly.

　Dark took out "Greed II", stuck the magic card on its head, and then quickly chanted a spell.

　Three seconds later, the blue-purple light released from "Greed II" enveloped the Greedy Slime's body, and it began to gradually expand into an elastic jelly-like shape.

　Dark pressed it against his face and rubbed it, feeling the cool touch of skin against skin. A smile played on his lips: "Let's begin. Unleash your greed as much as you can."

　“miu——”

　"Greedy Slime I" rubbed hard against its master's face, and the gaze in its two eyes gradually sharpened.

　Ultimate Skill: [Treasure-Hidden Smell]!

　"Pfft!"

　Just seconds later, its eyes lit up, and it squeezed out a short tentacle from its body, pointing in a certain direction of the underground city.

　Dark patted the ornament on his shoulder and said, "Go."

　The little devilmon immediately spread its wings and flew quickly forward.

　But not long after, Dark heard a series of cries for help.

　"Choo Choo Choo--"

　The little devil monster fled back as if its rear end was on fire, followed by a swarm of black bats.

　If these black bats could communicate, Little Devimon would surely recite a poem to them: "We are all born of the same root, why are you so eager to destroy me!"

　Even in the first level of the dungeon, there are quite dangerous monsters, such as the "Poisonous Lizard" that can emit poisonous mist, the "Vine Monster" that disguises itself as an ordinary vine, and these "Paralyzing Bats" in front of us!

　Paralyzing bats are small, each only about the size of a ping-pong ball. But their fangs contain venom, and once bitten, they will paralyze the entire body.

　In a dangerous place like an underground city, the consequences of being completely paralyzed are unimaginable.

　Therefore, students are extremely vigilant when encountering such monsters and will never let them get close.

　"give it to me."

　Leo looked up at the group of black bats and said calmly.

　As soon as it finished speaking, it clenched its right fist, and as the little devil beast flew over its head, it suddenly threw a punch!

　"Beast King Fist!"

　The energy wave released from it expanded instantly, almost covering the entire channel.

　With a roar like a lion, dozens of paralyzed bats were reduced to ashes by the five-star magic spirit's ultimate attack.

　Even the materials are gone.

　"Is this what they mean by 'even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit'?"

　Looking at the layer of ash on the ground, Dak couldn't help but sigh.

　……
