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

　"Renamon, evolve!"

　The fox-like beast's attention instantly focused as it greedily absorbed the aura of "ecstasy".

　A blush, like a flower, appeared on its face, and its two fox ears twitched rapidly.

　When the emblem of "Paradise" appeared on its forehead, its body gradually turned into light.

　"Renamon" → "Nine-Tailed Foxmon"!

　The "Nine-Tailed Fox," riding on blue flames, appeared amidst a pink mist.

　Dak skillfully cradled its head, but its wet tongue still licked his cheek.

　The evolved "Nine-Tailed Fox Beast" is incredibly clingy.

　However, since it was in the midst of a battle, it only licked a few times before turning around and glaring angrily at the uncooperative monsters.

　Above its nine tails, nine blue fireballs coalesced and burned wildly!

　That was an emotional release, a yearning for ecstasy.

　"Hawkman, Meow Meow."

　With two soft shouts, the Wrestling Eagle and Meow Meow understood Dark's meaning and quickly broke free from the monster's entanglement, retreating back.

　The hordes of demons from the three paths then charged out simultaneously.

　"Nine-Tailed Fox Beast, ultimate attack—'Ghost Fire Ball'!"

　Dark pointed a finger, and the magic card flashed.

　The nine-tailed fox beast raised its head high, its eyes sharp and clear. The blue fireball that rose from the tip of its tail split into three and shot out instantly.

　There are three "ghost fire orbs" in each direction.

　Nine explosions rang out in quick succession, and the monster hordes on the three paths were completely wiped out!

　"Click."

　At the end of the passage, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

　A bronze gate emerged from the wall and slowly opened.

　……

　Tickets are here!

　[It's the last day! Your monthly votes will be gone if you don't vote now!]

　[I'll update another 10,000 words tonight!]

Chapter 581 Between Bronze (4k)

　"Hidden room?"

　Dak turned to look at the bronze gate, his eyes filled with surprise and delight.

　He wasn't surprised that there was a secret room at the end of the passage; he was simply pleased that the door to the secret room was so self-contained.

　After all, this way, there's no need to waste time and effort searching for mechanisms and puzzles; you can directly enter the hidden room and collect your loot.

　But before that, we need to clean up all these monster materials scattered on the ground.

　After thinking for a moment, Dak entrusted this important task to the nimble-fingered Meow Meow.

　Meow Meow raised its paw, extended a sharp nail from the tip of its index finger, blew a breath, and then slowly walked towards the corpses scattered on the ground.

　The dungeons of St. Marian Academy are quite unique. Once a monster dies, its magical power will automatically gather in a certain part of its body, forming high-quality materials, which are quite convenient to collect.

　However, it's impossible to collect all of these numerous monster materials.

　Meow Meow hopped around among the corpses, picking and choosing, using the passive ability of "Gathering Treasures" to pan for gold in the sand.

　After entrusting him with this important task, Dark sent the still-formed Mad Lionmon to lead the way into the hidden room. (vipkanshu.com)

　It was completely different from the narrow, enclosed rooms they had found before.

　The hidden room in front of him was almost a huge bronze palace, which immediately reminded him of the room of the level BOSS he had entered last semester.

　However, there were no level bosses inside this bronze hall.

　At least not yet.

　Since that bronze behemoth could emerge from the wall, it wouldn't be surprising if even more demons were hiding within it.

　With necessary caution and careful observation, Dak discovered that the "Bronze Chamber" was filled with bronze statues, each one ferocious and terrifying, as if pieced together from multiple animals.

　There are bronze behemoths with bull heads, tiger bodies, and snake tails, as well as bronze birds with horse heads, monkey bodies, and eagle wings.

　The most eye-catching of them all is the Sphinx placed in the very center!

　The Sphinx possesses distinct characteristics and special meanings in Egyptian mythology, West Asian mythology, and Greek mythology.

　People usually call it the "Sphinx".

　The Sphinx that Dark is most familiar with is Sarah Swati's Sphinx Cat.

　That two-star magical spirit with the ultimate move "Shadow Step" is quite troublesome. If Sara could create a similar magical spirit of a higher star level, it would probably be even more difficult to deal with.

　"Go and see."

　Dark gestured to Crazy Lion Beast.

　The mad lion beast then pushed off with its feet and leaped up, landing directly on top of the sphinx's head—the sphinx did not come back to life.

　Dark breathed a slight sigh of relief and assigned tasks to the remaining magical elves as well.

　Of course, the main goal is to find the treasure chest...

　This "Bronze Chamber" looks quite large, and I couldn't find the treasure chest for a moment.

　He summoned the "Magic Secretary" to scan and record the entire room's structure, and finally gathered with the magical spirits in the middle.

　However, even after Meow Meow finished collecting the materials and came in carrying her small bag, they still hadn't found the treasure chest that was bound to be there.

　"It seems we have no other choice but to rely on it."

　Dark reluctantly took out "Greed II," as he had originally intended to keep it as a backup plan for another treasure hunt later.

　After placing the "Trash Slime" in his palm, Dark used "Greed II" to evolve it.

　As its body swelled into a jelly-like shape, "Greedy Slime I" came to life.

　It closed its eyes and sensed carefully, then suddenly cried out at the huge sphinx.

　Dak walked toward the bronze statue, frowning in thought.

　The sphinx was so conspicuous that he had naturally searched it thoroughly. However, there were no mechanisms inside the entire bronze statue, and it could not be moved.

　If the treasure chest is really here, it can only be hidden inside the Sphinx's belly!

　Dak stood behind the Sphinx for a moment, then confirmed, "Is it in here?"

　“Puyo puyo!” Greedy Slime I nodded vigorously.

　Dark took a breath and said, "Then let's cut him open!"

　……

　It took a considerable amount of time, with the regressed lion-like creatures continuing the work, to finally cut open the Sphinx's side.

　Why do I always have this awful feeling of having a C-section?

　Dark couldn't help but complain, but the birth of the Sphinx went very smoothly, and the lion beast quickly took out a bronze treasure chest... and a silver treasure chest.

　"Twins in one pregnancy?"

　Dak paused for a moment, then said.

　"Let's look again, see if there's a golden treasure chest?"

　Greed +1

　……

　The lion beast searched again very honestly, but of course, it couldn't find the third treasure chest.

　But the two treasure chests that have already been found are enough to make people feel surprised.

　The bronze chest is the standard size, while the silver chest is a small one, resembling a jewelry box.

　Without hesitation, Dark ordered the lion beast to cut the locks on the two treasure chests.

　With two loud "bangs," the chains binding the treasure chest were severed.

　Dark took the smaller silver treasure chest directly, his eyes filled with curiosity.

　Holding a treasure chest in your hand like this feels quite magical.

　After all, most treasure chests spawn on the ground.

　He pulled off the silver chain, slowly opened the lid of the box, and a glimmer of silver light appeared inside.

　Once the lid is fully opened, the contents of the box are completely revealed.

　It was a silver sphinx!

　This sphinx is so exquisite that even the hair is clearly visible, making it lifelike as if it were alive.

　Dark opened his "Eye of Truth" and suddenly frowned, realizing that the value of this silver sphinx was no less than that of the Biological Orb!

　This means that it is more valuable to the "Gate of Truth" than the "Magic Brain Dropper".

　It's already a very high rating, even higher than "Magic Dropper", which is quite surprising.

　Suddenly, Dak had a flash of inspiration and turned to look at the silver treasure chest in his hand.

　However, the value of this silver treasure chest displayed in the "Eye of Truth" is not even as great as that of the magic diamond.

　As the Sphinx was removed, it even began to show signs of becoming transparent.

　"It seems we won't be able to take this silver treasure chest out of the dungeon."

　Dak was slightly disappointed, but did not discard it.

　The iron chain he used to record the aura of "Greedy Slime II" had faded and disappeared, so it was time to replace it with a better one.

　However, the sphinx cannot be placed inside.

　Thinking this, he looked down at another bronze treasure chest.

　The lion is opening the lid of the bronze treasure chest.

　The treasure chest was large, but inside there was only a single bronze mirror placed there all by itself.

　This bronze mirror is a traditional round shape with intricate and beautiful patterns on the edge, but it is slightly rusted, indicating that it is quite old.

　Dark would never have too many of these things whose origins are completely unknown.

　He opened his "Eye of Truth" again and saw his face reflected in the bronze mirror under the golden light.

　Is its value somewhere between catnip and magic dropper?

　Surprises are always present.

　……

　After putting away the two treasures, Darke sent "Greedy Slime I" to continue searching for treasure.

　But there was clearly nothing else to move inside this "Bronze Chamber".

　He clapped his hands, preparing to rest there for a while.

　At this point, Meow Meow came over and took a round ball out of the bag.

　"what is this?"

　"Dark asked."

　"Meow."

　Meow Meow pointed to the bronze behemoth at the entrance.

　Dark immediately understood: "I almost forgot it had relics."
