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

　Dark thought for a moment, then told Devimon to fly out and bring Meowth in as well.

　This kind of craftsmanship is of course best left to the strong, cute, and obedient cat.

　"Meow!" Meow immediately let out a reluctant sound.

　"Ahem." Dak whispered in its ear, and it immediately brightened up and focused on its work.

　While Meow Meow was removing the candle wick, Dark went outside and sighed as he looked at the milky white wax scattered on the ground and the candlesticks flying everywhere.

　"Time to pick up trash."

　……

　The material that can be collected from Candle Spirits is also candle wick, but their wicks are a common yellow color. Apart from being rich in magic and having an affinity with the fire element, they have almost no other special characteristics.

　Even using the "Eye of Truth" to examine them, only about ten were found to be of slightly higher value, but they were still not as good as the Insect Tree.

　To complete the set, he simply chose twelve "yellow cores" and placed them together with twelve "purple cores" and twelve "pink cores".

　When he returned to the secret room, he could no longer hide the joy on his face.

　"Isn't it fair to say that you've had a very fruitful experience?"

　He picked up the "trash slime" and gave it a big kiss.

　I was incredibly lucky to accidentally create a "trash slime"!

　……

　Having rested long enough, Dark picked out some monster materials outside before embarking on the next stage of his journey.

　When Dark used "Greed III" to evolve "Trash Slime" into "Greedy Slime II", he even thought that tonight's harvest was enough, and it wouldn't matter if he couldn't find any more treasure chests.

　However, "Greedy Slime II" remained loyal and dutiful.

　"Puyoyo!"

　It stretched out two round tentacles and made an embracing gesture towards the "single sword sheath".

　The "single sword sheath" then instinctively came into its embrace and was squeezed into its body.

　About ten seconds later, "Greedy Slime II" finished recording its aura and released the "Single Sword Sheath".

　Then, it shook its jelly-like body and slowly cultivated "greed" in its mind. When "greed" appeared in its eyes, "greedy nature" was successfully triggered.

　Almost the next moment.

　"Greedy Slime II" suddenly widened its eyes.

　（o?）ノヾ

　Extremely excited, it let out a "poo-poo" sound.

　Dark didn't react for a moment, but Gatomon and Leomon suddenly pricked up their ears and their expressions changed.

　After the number of magical spirits with "heroic potential" increased from one to two, and then to three, the "Holy Sword" was undoubtedly in short supply.

　Even if the "single scabbard" can evolve into a "dual scabbard", it can only last for fifteen minutes and cannot be divided into three parts.

　This dungeon trip was no exception; the two magical spirits could only alternate using the "Holy Sword," which was extremely inconvenient.

　Therefore, they continue to have one or even two more "holy swords" to fill the demand!

　"Have you found the Holy Sword?"

　The little devilmon flew onto the back of "Greedy Slime II" and was very sensitive.

　Of course, it doesn't like the "Holy Sword".

　It was only then that Dark realized what was happening, and his already wide-open mouth suddenly broke into a look of wild joy.

　Greed +1

　The next moment, he pursed his lips and used the "Netherworld God Technique" to empty his mind and forcibly suppress the desire for "greed".

　Then he took a deep breath and said, "Leomon, carry the slime on your back."

　Leomon immediately hoisted "Greedy Slime II" onto its head, carrying it like a cloak. Then, guided by "Greedy Slime II," it began to take steps.

　This time, Dach's group was more purposeful and determined.

　The phantom insects flew overhead, illuminating the darkness.

　The single sword sheath floated in the air.

　Little Devimon would occasionally fly out to scout ahead.

　Tailmon and Meowth walked on either side of Dark.

　The little dream demon floated back and forth... enlivening the atmosphere.

　They moved incredibly fast, efficiently clearing away the magical sprites blocking their path, and soon approached the sensing area of ​​"Greedy Slime II"!

　……

　"Beast King Fist!"

　With a roar, the lion beast unleashed an energy wave that blasted the two frantically charging monsters into dust, then strode forward.

　"Greedy Slime II" perched on his head, constantly calling out and directing him to change direction.

　Dark followed behind and could clearly hear that the cries of "Greedy Slime II" were becoming more and more urgent, which meant that the treasure exuding the aura of the "Holy Sword" was already close at hand.

　Before entering the dungeon, he set a goal to find the "Holy Sword." But in reality, it was just a small goal, and he didn't have the conviction that he absolutely had to find it.

　Because his need for the "Holy Sword" was not actually a necessity.

　He was not, after all, a "hero".

　Of course, he would be very happy if he could find the "Holy Sword".

　Therefore, tonight's outing was a truly unexpected delight.

　However, after the initial excitement, Dark quickly calmed down.

　Obtaining the first "Holy Sword" was not easy and involved a very high degree of danger.

　Even with the powerful weapon of "Dream Demon," if there are multiple monsters that he cannot defeat, then even "shared fate" becomes meaningless.

　"I wonder if this 'Holy Sword' is also in the hidden space? Hopefully, it won't be too difficult to obtain."

　As he pondered, Dak suddenly looked up and noticed that the lion beast had stopped just as it was about to turn the corner.

　He immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

　The lion-beast frowned slightly and hesitated, "Perhaps we've already arrived?"

　"Is that so?" Dark's expression shifted slightly, and he quickened his pace to walk to its side.

　Peeking around the corner, a massive stone gate hidden in the darkness suddenly came into view.

　The stone gate was over ten meters high, and the two door panels were carved with extremely complex patterns, but they were slightly blurry due to the dim light.

　The stone gate was extremely thick, with a gap in the middle, but it was not large enough for a person to pass through.

　Dark couldn't help but frown, because such a huge door appearing so directly in the maze most likely led to the room of the level boss.

　But speaking of the level boss on the tenth floor of the dungeon...

　He had clearly assigned the task to someone to clean it up last week, and the person who accepted the task was Senior Sister Ma Li.

　"Was it refreshed a week later?"

　"Speaking of which, the coordinates on that intelligence report were..."

　Dark's expression suddenly changed, and he took out the "magic needle" to make calculations.

　A few minutes later, his expression gradually turned grim.

　The so-called "coordinates" in the dungeon are all based on the magic marker as the starting point, and then calculated according to the direction.

　Although the safe zone where the magic marker is located may change its location due to terrain refresh, the calculation method remains the same.

　And as his calculations were largely correct, the stone door room in front of him should be very close to the coordinates described in the intelligence report.

　Considering the calculation error, it's perfectly fine to say that it's the same coordinate!

　"So, after all my wanderings, I've finally ended up here?"

　"But... the BOSS room that Senior Ma Li described was clearly located behind an iron gate, which is different from the current situation."

　"Last week, this week. Assuming the terrain of the tenth floor changes due to the refresh mechanism, the relative position of the floor boss should theoretically also change."

　"Ultimately, what is the probability that the coordinates of the BOSS rooms are the same?"

　"How did the other party know these coordinates a week in advance?"

　"Relying on divination?"

　Dark's brain was racing.

　He knew nothing about the other party's intentions and could not distinguish whether they were well-intentioned or malicious.

　However, if the information provided by the other party is merely the coordinates of the tenth floor BOSS from last week, then the possibility that today's event is a coincidence is not low.

　Conversely, if the information provided from the beginning points to the coordinates of the tenth floor BOSS this week, then there is a very high probability that the other party has a powerful diviner.

　Of course, there is another possibility.

　That means the other party has grasped some key factor that can determine the position of the tenth-level BOSS.

　He didn't find out through divination, but because of some crucial factor. And from the very beginning, he knew that the boss of the tenth floor would definitely still be located here!

　Despite how incredible it seemed, Dark was, after all, "well-informed" and had made calculations for all sorts of possibilities.

　Moreover, he was indeed able to guess what the so-called key factor was.

　Hypothesis.

　If the assumption is true.

　The so-called key factor is mostly the "Holy Sword".

　……

　Because the "Holy Sword" is truly exceptional.

　"Greedy Slime II" happened to smell the "Holy Sword" here.

　That's why Dark made that connection.

　But if we work backwards from this...

　"Could it be that the purpose of the information they gave me is because of this 'Holy Sword'?"

　"Wait a minute! If it's because of the 'Holy Sword,' shouldn't the information be given to the 'Son of the Hero'?"

　Dak hesitated.

　He shouldn't act until he figured out the man's true intentions.

　But the "Holy Sword" is right in front of us, and it is only guarded by the boss of the tenth floor, so it is practically within reach.

　Should we give up just because of such unfounded speculation?

　Obviously it is impossible.

　"Speaking of which, in the original game, since players could control the protagonist to defeat the Demon King in the academy, there should indeed be quite a few 'Holy Swords' within the academy capable of purifying the 'Hero's Bloodline.'"

　"Although I haven't played the game, 'Holy Sword' might be a collectible element that increases user engagement and enjoyment."

　"The 'Holy Sword' should be hidden in large-scale environments such as dungeons, secret passages, and dense forests."

　"If we extrapolate from this, it's indeed possible that someone possesses information about the 'Holy Sword' and guides the protagonist to collect it by passing on that information."

　"So, the question returns to the main character: shouldn't he have given the information to the protagonist, the 'Son of the Hero' who needs the 'Holy Sword' to purify his bloodline—Virt Goddard?"

　"Could it be that they've mistaken me for someone else?"

　Thinking about this, even Dak himself laughed out loud.
