Danmachi: Adventuring Till the End!

After spending several hours on the tenth floor, Orsted set out on his return journey.

Thanks to Lili, Orsted obtained five drop items today, as well as more Magic Stones.

It took only an hour for the two to return to the surface.

However, when they emerged, it was already evening.

Soon, Orsted exchanged their magic stones for Valis.

Fortunately, Lili did not follow him inside.

Otherwise, based on Eina's understanding of Lili, she would certainly advise Orsted not to associate with her.

"The amount has increased again. Have you reached a new floor?" Eina remarked, noticing that Orsted had exchanged more than double the Valis compared to yesterday.

She sighed slightly and looked at him with a hint of helplessness.

"No, I found a Supporter today, so I was able to fight more freely and gain more," Orsted replied, shaking his head.

He had not ventured to a new floor today, instead staying active on the tenth floor.

"Really? That's good to hear."

"Here, a total of 500,000 Valis," Eina said, relieved by Orsted's answer.

She handed him the exchanged Valis, divided into two pouches—one for Orsted and one for his Supporter.

"Thank you, Eina," Orsted smiled, grateful for her thoughtfulness.

"You're welcome. Just remember, don't take unnecessary risks," Eina replied with a nod, offering a brief warning before returning to her work without further lecturing, unlike the previous day.

Orsted did not disturb her further.

After glancing at Eina as she continued her work, he turned and left the Guild.

As soon as he stepped outside, Orsted saw Lili waiting for him.

At that moment, Lili's face was filled with anticipation, though it was tinged with a trace of worry.

Orsted understood her thoughts immediately.

She was likely concerned that he might behave like those unscrupulous adventurers who either withheld or deducted their Supporters' shares.

Without a word, Orsted handed her the pouche that Eina had prepared.

Lili quickly reached out and took it, opening it to inspect the contents.

Confirming that Orsted had not shortchanged her like others, a relieved and excited smile spread across her face.

However, at that moment, Orsted spoke up.

"Lili, come to my place first today."

"Your situation doesn't seem to be very safe."

"Huh?" Lili looked up at Orsted, puzzled.

Orsted was not looking at her but to the left.

Lili followed his gaze, and her pupils shrank.

She recognized those people—they were members of the Soma Familia who often robbed her of her earnings.

Several times, she had managed to secure rewards from kind-hearted adventurers, only to have them stolen by these individuals.

The sight of them filled Lili with hatred.

At the same time, she felt a pang of fear.

She was no match for them.

Every time they robbed her, they would beat her up.

"Let's go, Lili," Orsted said calmly after observing them for a moment.

Lili nodded and followed him without protest.

Before leaving, she shot a defiant glance at the group, hoping to provoke them.

She wanted them to attack her today, knowing that Orsted would make them regret it.

After all, Lili had witnessed Orsted's strength firsthand throughout the day.

The monsters on the tenth floor hadn't even been able to touch him.

In contrast, these thieves were nothing more than weaklings who had made no progress in over a year.

"What was that look in Lili's eyes just now?" one of the adventurers muttered angrily, clearly provoked by her glare.

"Let's follow them," another said.

"We'll take Lili and that new adventurer down together," their leader declared.

With that, the group quietly trailed Orsted and Lili.

"Lili, do you think we should deal with these guys?" Orsted noticed their pursuit.

"Orsted-sama, are you planning to kill them?" Lili's heart skipped a beat at his words.

She could sense the cold, unmistakable aura emanating from him, sending a shiver down her spine.

"If you don't want me to, I can spare their lives."

"Orsted-sama can do as he sees fit. Lili has no objections," Lili shook her head.

She despised those men deeply.

If they hadn't robbed her of her earnings, she might never have resorted to those wrongdoings.

If Orsted wanted to eliminate them, she fully supported the idea.

However, she couldn't help but voice a concern.

"Is it really okay to kill them."

"It's fine. We'll just lead them to a remote area," Orsted replied calmly, his expression unchanged.

With that, he quickened his pace.

Lili hurried to keep up.

The group followed closely.

Soon, Orsted and Lili entered a dark, secluded alley.

The pursuers, seeing their opportunity, rushed in after them.

However, as soon as they entered the alley, something greeted them.
