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

　He wasn't too impatient and found a lot of materials needed for the gathering quests by relying on "trash slimes".

　By noon, he had completed several tasks and finally found a new treasure chest in a hidden room.

　Moreover, in the hidden room, there are two standard treasure chests stuck together!

　Dark gave the lion a wink, and it opened the left-hand treasure chest first, working from left to right.

　As the lock was pried open, the lid of the treasure chest popped open instantly, and a mimic lunged out!

　……

Chapter 591 Darkdemon Returns with a Full Load (10k)

　With a flick of its wrist, Leomon instantly raised the "Blood Sword," effortlessly blocking the mimic's attack.

　Putting aside everything else, these two days of high-intensity adventure have definitely honed its reflexes.

　An attack of this magnitude wouldn't be able to harm it at all.

　With another burst of strength, the Leo Beast sliced ​​off half of the mimic's head, killing it instantly.

　Even among mimics, there are differences in strength, and this mimic is clearly not as powerful as the previous clown.

　After killing it, the lion-beast glanced at the inside of the treasure chest with slight disappointment, then turned to the treasure chest on the right.

　The moment the treasure chest was opened, a shrill shriek, like the wailing of ghosts, suddenly rang out.

　"what--"

　The lion beast staggered back two steps, its ears twitching wildly, and even the hand holding the sword lost its strength.

　Then, from the crack in the treasure chest, a ghost-type monster shot out like lightning. The monster's body was extremely long, with two deep and terrifying holes in its face, and its gaping maw was blood red.

　The lion beast was stunned by its "shriek," its ears were temporarily deafened, its head was filled with buzzing, and it couldn't even lift its sword. It could only watch helplessly as the monster rushed towards it and bit it.

　But the next second, a long sword flew over, its blade covered in holy aura, and pierced through the ghost-type monster in one stroke!

　The ghost-type monster, which should not have a physical form, let out a painful scream.

　With this buffer, the lion suddenly widened its eyes, its fingers gripping the sword suddenly exerted force, and it tightened its grip on the sword again.

　Then, a burst of blood-red light appeared, and the demon was cut in two!

　However, what ghost-type monsters fear least is pure physical attacks.

　After being cut in two, its upper body charged upwards while its lower body fled downwards, instantly reaching the ceiling and floor. Like two black shadows, it circled behind the lion beast and then shot towards the lion beast's back from above and below at almost a right angle.

　But the lion-like beast swung its left arm backward, releasing a burst of energy like a lion's, blasting the two black shadows to smithereens!

　"call……"

　After confirming that the ghost-type monster had been dealt with, Leomon breathed a sigh of relief, a chill running down his spine.

　If Gatomon hadn't intervened in time, it would have been bitten by that ghostly monster...

　"There are hidden dangers in the underground city, so we cannot be too careless."

　After reflecting on his actions, Leomon cautiously opened the lid of the second treasure chest.

　To its surprise, this same chest containing a mimic monster contained hidden treasure.

　"A stone?"

　It took the treasure out of the chest, turned around, and handed it to Dark.

　Dak put on gloves and took it to examine it carefully.

　The stone was cold to the touch and looked very ordinary, except for one side which had a crescent-shaped indentation.

　If this indentation wasn't just a coincidence, then this stone must be related to the moon.

　Dark gathered magic power in his fingertips and slowly sensed it. Sure enough, he sensed a trace of "moon power".

　"nice one!"

　The moon is an element that perfectly aligns with "bliss".

　If this stone is related to the moon, then its value to him is naturally elevated.

　Dark immediately opened his "Eye of Truth" to investigate.

　They then discovered that the value of this "Moonstone" was even higher than that of the "Cat Grass," and a level above the previous "Crescent Moon Pendant."

　This was clearly an unexpected surprise.

　He didn't continue his research. Instead, he put the "Moon Stone" in his bag and rested in the hidden room to replenish his energy.

　In the dungeon, if the safe zone at the entrance is the safest, then these cleared hidden rooms are the second safest.

　Most adventurers would choose to rest when faced with such an opportunity, until they have regained their strength before setting off again.

　……

　Half an hour later, Dak continued his "treasure hunt" and "pathfinding".

　Perhaps because he had already found too many treasure chests on the tenth floor, he couldn't find any new treasure chests until the entrance to the eleventh floor appeared in front of him.

　But being content with what you have and using that "Moonstone" to conclude this dungeon adventure is not bad.

　Dak descended the stairs and soon arrived at the entrance security area of ​​the eleventh floor.

　He arrived at the safe zone just after 2 p.m., which was the time when adventurers were active in the dungeons, so there was almost no one in the safe zone.

　As for the magical marker on this floor, it is a statue of a female swordsman.

　The statue is tall with long hair tied in a ponytail that falls behind her head. She wears only very thin clothing, revealing large areas of skin, and holds her sword high in the sky, as if she is about to strike down at any moment.

　Dark collected its magic and then sat down to the side.

　That concludes today's adventure.

　He did not intend to continue exploring the eleventh floor.

　From this eleventh level onwards, the dungeon is no longer a simple maze structure.

　Stepping out of the safe zone is like entering a small world with various themes, where all the dangers that exist in nature will follow.

　Dak is not yet ready to face the crisis brought by nature.

　……

　After he rested for a while, people gradually arrived at the safe zone on the eleventh floor.

　However, there were surprisingly few combinations of third graders and second graders.

　But thinking about it, those "guides" would probably only lead the second-year students from the first floor to the tenth floor.

　If things had gone quickly, they would have probably finished their task and left during the day yesterday.

　Those who are slower won't even make it to the eleventh floor.

　As for those who only took on the "guide" task incidentally, they probably went deeper into the area much earlier.

　Those who are fortunate enough to follow them as second-year students should have many novel experiences.

　Dark waited patiently, and finally Lydia Emerson arrived at around four o'clock.

　Lydia had clearly gone to a deeper level. It was only at this point that she used the [Door Key (11)] to teleport over.

　Once she was on solid ground, she immediately looked around and quickly found the nearby Dak.

　However, Dark had already seen her first and stood up to say, "Good afternoon, senior."

　"Good afternoon, Dimon." Lydia flicked a strand of hair that fell to her shoulder and smiled. "Looks like I've kept you waiting?"

　Dak smiled and said, "I just arrived too. Is there anything else you need to do, senior?"

　“No more,” Lydia shook her head and said, “If you don’t have any either, shall we go back to the first floor?”

　“No problem.” Dark removed the little devil beast from his shoulder and said, “But I need to put all these cuties back into the card first.”

　"That's true." Senior Lydia slowly walked over, her face covered in sweat.

　Dark then took out his Magic Cards and put Gatomon, Leomon, Impmon, and the Sword Sheath into the cards before struggling to carry the large and small bags on his back.

　"Let me carry some for you," Lydia said, taking over several large bags before Dark could refuse.

　Then she couldn't help but glance at the "Blood Holy Sword" on Dark's back and asked, "Is that also a spoil of war?"

　Dak casually replied, "Yes, I got it last night."

　"Hmm." Lydia seemed to understand.

　The two didn't chat any longer in the safe zone on the tenth floor. After picking up their bags, they went to the female swordsman statue.

　Lydia took out the [Door Key (1)], waved it at Dark, and asked, "You know how to get in, right?"

　Darke laughed and said, "I know."

　Lydia then focused her attention and gradually poured magic into the [Door Key (1)].

　A moment later, a ripple appeared on the tip of the key.

　Then the ripples grew larger and larger, gradually expanding into a magical ring.

　Lydia stepped back slightly and smiled, "You go first."

　Dak did not refuse and raised his hand to reach into the ring.

　Sensing the immense suction force emanating from the ring, he relaxed slightly, and was immediately pulled in by the force.

　In the next instant, his vision changed, and he found himself on the first level of the underground city.

　Looking at the familiar mermaid statue in front of him, Dark took two steps back.

　Immediately afterwards, the magic ring lit up, and light poured out from the other end, illuminating the area around him.

　Lydia Emerson was teleported there in the next instant.

　"Finally home!"

　Lydia took a deep breath, then raised the [Door Key (1)] and gently tapped the magic ring, absorbing the residual magic power of the ring back into the key!

　Dak's pupils contracted slightly; he made a mental note of it.

　Seeing that he was standing there without moving, Lydia quickly said, "Let's go. This is the peak time for returning, and it can get crowded if we're not careful."

　Dark: "Crowded together?"

　Lydia explained, "There are two teleportation rings nearby, and people coming out of them might bump into things and get all bumpy. Also, if there are too many people, there won't be enough space around the magic marker, causing overcrowding when people teleport in. Anyway, let's get out of here first."

　Dark nodded and walked quickly forward for a while. Sure enough, he saw one teleportation ring after another appearing around the magic marker.

　He paused briefly, then pulled out "Magical Secretary" from his card pack, summoned it, and tossed it aside casually.

　The "Magical Book" flipped through the pages in mid-air, continuing to cast the "Normal Summoning Spell".

　Devimon, Meowth, Hawkman, and Renamon were summoned one after another.

　Dak distributed the bags to them, feeling a sense of relief. He then took the package back from Lydia and thanked her.

　"It was nothing," Lydia said curiously. "Are you going to the quest hall or to Traveler's Street to dispose of these spoils?"

　"Let's go to the mission hall first," Dark said after thinking for a moment.

　Senior Lydia smiled and said, "I also need to hand over my mission, let's go together!"

　……

　The weather on Sunday afternoon was fairly sunny, with a few white clouds floating in the sky, and the sunlight filtering through the gaps was much warmer than in the past few days.

　Perhaps it's because it's been so long since the sun has seen the light of day, that even the sun seems to have become more beautiful—

　Dark entered the castle with Lydia and went to the mission hall to hand in the mission.

　This was the busiest time in the mission lobby, with almost every window packed with people.
