Chapter 169 : Second Underground Floor
Chapter 169: Second Underground Floor
Facing these insidious setups, Gauss and Arya wasted nothing. Like locusts sweeping through, they recycled and reused everything.
Mage Hand remotely triggered mechanisms, the vines of Entangling Spell set off traps, and then they collected the metal spearheads from the ground spikes and the sharp arrowheads from the crossbow bolts one by one.
Little by little, it added up. Even this scrap metal could be exchanged for a decent sum.
Perhaps high-level Adventurer teams or those with wealthy family backgrounds would not care about these trifles, but for these two who had risen from the bottom, it was hard to give up items that could be easily sold.

Moreover, Arya’s Guidance Spell also came in handy at times like this. When tied with ropes and climbing down walls to dismantle ground spikes and other such dangerous tasks, the spell increased the chances of success.
They treated it as spell practice.

Unknowingly, the light dimmed again. Time passed quickly while exploring inside the labyrinth.
「Phew… feels like I’m getting a little tired.」 Arya sat directly on the ground, wiping away the fine sweat at her temple.
「Thanks.」
Taking the waterskin Gauss handed over, she raised her fair neck and gulped it down greedily.

「How do you feel?」
「Seems like… a little…」 Gauss also noticed that as time passed within the labyrinth, his stamina and magical power drained faster than outside.
The effect on the body manifested as fatigue setting in more easily.
But thanks to his Energy Storage Gland talent, he could replenish himself anytime through eating, so it was manageable.

And in less than two days since entering—from yesterday noon until this afternoon—strictly speaking just over a single day, they had already slain 149 Small Monsters. The efficiency was far higher than normal commissions.
In an ordinary commission, counting travel time and preparation, killing a hundred monsters might take two or three days.

「Let’s call it for today.」 Gauss suggested. 「Tomorrow, we’ll try to find the entrance to the second underground floor. If we find it, we’ll go explore. If not, we’ll head back to the surface to rest.」
From the beginning, they had never planned for their first labyrinth expedition to last too long.
Arya set down the waterskin.
「Alright. Though it’s tiring in here, the money comes faster. Besides, I feel like I’ve grown stronger.」
Thinking of the past two days of constantly picking up money, and her spells becoming much more practiced through frequent casting, Arya couldn’t help but smile.
This was still only the first underground floor. If the second underground floor, with fewer people, yielded even more money, wouldn’t that be better?

Picking up money could really become addictive.
Now whenever she saw ruins, she wanted to search them, tapping on cracks in walls and gaps between tiles without fail.
Aside from copper fragments of the Lost Kingdom, old copper coins, and ancient silver coins, they even picked up several uniquely styled ancient gold coins.
Even without considering their archaeological or artistic value, their larger size compared to modern coins gave them higher value.
The next morning, after resting, the two set off again on their exploration.
Gauss’s mental map now showed its advantage.

Ordinary Adventurer teams wandering aimlessly would inevitably loop back to places they had already been. But Gauss was different—he could precisely head toward areas he had never visited.
「Whoosh!!」

A crude wooden arrow whistled past Gauss’s side.
Gauss raised his head to look ahead.
There was a small mixed group of monsters: Goblins, Kobolds, and Gray Mud Monsters.
This was not unusual within the labyrinth. Races that usually lived independently outside often banded together in the underground to ambush Adventurers.
Ë n̆ u m̃а̄
But Gauss’s eyes quickly swept past the monster group and shifted to the other side.
The monsters were besieging a Low-level Adventurer Small Team.
The team of four—two men, two women: a Swordsman, a Shield Bearer, an Archer, and a Spearman—were all clad in leather armor, standing back to back as they resisted the surrounding monsters. Normally, even if they couldn’t cope, they could at least retreat. Of these three monsters, aside from Goblins, the other two weren’t especially fast.
But one teammate was clearly injured—his right foot had a large hole pierced by a sharp wooden spike, blood soaking through his boot.

He gritted his teeth, holding up his shield, sweat pouring down his forehead in big drops.
「Need some help?」 Gauss raised his voice.
W̌е̃ bn о̄ v̌ е̌l̇ Е̃n uḿ а̌
Normally, if Low-level Adventurers like these could still manage, he wouldn’t bother stepping in.
But clearly, they were struggling. Since he himself had come up from the bottom, he would lend a hand when possible.
And they hadn’t abandoned their injured comrade—showing decent character.
Besides, this was a chance to tally up more kills.
From a distance, the four saw the figure of the black-robed mage standing on the mound, with faint light flickering from his wand. Despair gave way to sudden joy.
「Yes! Milord! We have an injured! Please, help us!」

「Alright.」
Receiving their plea, Gauss nodded.
With a burst under his feet, his figure instantly vanished from the mound.
The next moment, he strolled into the battlefield’s edge as though unhurried. With a light wave of his wand, clusters of blue Magical Energy shot out like they had eyes, striking the snarling monsters with speed and precision.
「Boom!」
Each precise blast was accompanied by the monsters’ shrieks and wails.

With every step forward, several monsters died.
By the time he reached the four, even the last fleeing Kobolds had their hearts pierced and collapsed on the ground.

Over twenty mixed monsters—all dead!
「So… so fast…」
The Adventurer team stared in shock. The monster group that had pressured them moments ago had been mowed down effortlessly by this black-robed mage.
Seeing his handsome face and the Bronze Two-star Adventurer Badge on his chest, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

So he was a Tier 2 Mage.
But still, so strong! Even knowing he was a Professional, seeing such overwhelming combat strength firsthand left them stunned.
They couldn’t help but wish they had that power too… a burning desire welled up inside them.
「Tend to your companion’s wound first.」 Gauss reminded them, glancing at the injured Shield Bearer.

He then looked toward Arya, who understood, nodding as she took out two softly glowing berries.
「These are Magical Berries with mild healing properties. Feed them to him, it will ease his injuries.」

She didn’t give more—not out of stinginess, but because the effects would not stack significantly in the short term.
「Thank you, Milords!」
The small team hurried to treat the wound.
Once finished, Gauss and Arya showed no sign of seeking repayment, turning to leave.
But one teammate suddenly spoke up, stopping them.
「Milord, we cannot repay your aid. But we have some information that may be of use to you.」

「Speak.」 Gauss looked at him curiously.
「Last night, we discovered the entrance to the second underground floor. But lacking strength, we dared not descend. Its location is—」
The young man gestured as he described the path.
Gauss committed the details to memory.
He felt pleased—indeed, good deeds brought rewards.
And here it was: information about the labyrinth’s second floor, delivered to him.

After pointing the four toward the labyrinth’s main hall, Gauss and Arya watched them leave.
「Shall we head out now?」

「Yes. Let’s go—our goal is the second underground floor.」 Gauss nodded.
Since entrances to lower levels shifted from time to time, it was best to hurry.
It was said that each floor’s environment differed. The deeper one went, the stranger the landscapes, and the stronger and more varied the monsters.
What kinds of strange creatures would lie hidden within the labyrinth’s second underground floor?
