Chapter 96: The Xenos' Fury!
(PS: I'm back ;) I will upload more chapters in the coming days.)
Looking at the figure with an upper human body and a snake tail in front of him, Ethan smiled, a very bright smile.
His guess was correct.
Why, for thousands of years, had the dungeon, suppressed beneath Orario, continued to produce monsters endlessly?
Every day, countless monsters were killed by adventurers.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the vast 'magic stone technology' of Orario was supported by the dungeon's presence.
Now Ethan had found the answer.
Since there was a price to pay, there was naturally also a reward.
After death, the souls of mortals in the lower world would be reincarnated.
This was the 'rule' of this world.
However, if one died within the dungeon, there was a certain chance that their soul would be captured by the dungeon.
In the original story, it had already been confirmed that monsters that died in the dungeon would also be reincarnated.
For example, the Minotaur among the Xenos was the same Minotaur that Ottar had trained for Bell's transformation.
After being defeated by Bell, he was reincarnated as a black strengthened species Minotaur.
Many other Xenos also possessed intelligence from birth and some even retained memories of their 'past' lives.
Ethan made a bold guess that the reason why these Xenos possessed 'intelligence' might be because, once upon a time, they were all humans.
However, after death, their souls were captured by the dungeon, and thus they entered the dungeon's reincarnation cycle.
"How do you feel?"
Ethan asked, looking at the Lamia-type Xenos in front of him.
"I feel very good, master!"
After being baptized by the black mud, her body was no longer the monster body nurtured by the dungeon, but a body manifested from the black mud.
Moreover, the two of them now share a bond similar to a 'contract', with Ethan in control of everything about her.
The black mud, manifested from 'All the Evil of the World', had given her new life, and naturally, it could also devour her completely in an instant.
Sarah, who had gained a new life, was no longer a 'Lamia' of the dungeon, but more like a snake-woman from mythology, just like Medusa.
With a purple snake tail, a seductive female body, and a slightly charming appearance.
Especially now that the purple scales on Sarah's body had receded, she looked very much like a [Lamia Girl] from the monster girl genre.
Originally, Sarah's strength was between Level 2 and Level 3, but now that she had been strengthened, her strength was comparable to a Level 4 adventurer.
'Bang——'
In an instant, Sarah's snake tail whipped out, shattering all the iron cages, but without harming any of the Xenos inside.
"Everyone, you are free now."
Sarah said, looking at Ethan carefully.
After all, this was what they had agreed on before.
However, in her current situation, if Ethan really went back on his word, she had no way to resist, as the initiative was always in his hands.
"I keep my word. Since you succeeded in the experiment, the other Xenos naturally have no value anymore."
"Thank you~"
Looking at him, Sarah slowly uttered these words.
"However, it's best not to run around for now, because the 'Knossos' is currently being invaded. If you rashly intrude, you're likely to be killed directly."
The Gulliver brothers were still rampaging through the 'Knossos'.
Those four guys wouldn't care if they were rational monsters or anything else.
If the Xenos encountered them, they would definitely be killed without a doubt.
"What are you doing!!!"
At this moment, an angry shout rang out.
Ethan and the others looked over.
A man wearing goggles, a leather jacket, and holding a magic spear stood at the entrance.
There were obvious bloodstains on his clothes, especially his left arm, which was completely dyed red.
When he saw Ethan, he was clearly filled with anger.
"Hateful human!"
Upon seeing him, all the Xenos were instantly enraged, especially Sarah, whose eyes flashed with bone-chilling killing intent.
From the attitude of these Xenos and the man's attire, Ethan could guess his identity.
Dix Perdix, a descendant of the Daedalus family, the current captain of the Ikelos Familia, and also the one who is largely responsible for the tragedy of Xenos.
"It's you!"
Dix frowned when he saw Sarah.
Because she was the type of monster that a noble lord outside had specifically requested, he hadn't tortured Sarah yet.
After all, if he damaged the goods, he wouldn't be able to sell them for a high price.
However, Dix had found a better method to torture her instead of physically abusing her, which was to torture the other Xenos in front of her.
Their angry roars, their hateful gazes, and their powerless anger all excited him.
This newfound feeling had opened the door to a new world for him.
It turned out that torturing people didn't necessarily mean torturing them physically.
Letting them witness their cherished companions being tortured and eventually die was even more enjoyable.
He enjoyed breaking his victims' spirits and relished the feeling of watching their misery.
"Human, I said I would kill you, to avenge all my compatriots who died tragically in your hands!!!"
"Kill me? With your pitiful strength? If I can catch you once, that means I can catch you again."
'Swish——'
As he spoke, Dix brandished the magic spear in his hand.
This magic spear was no ordinary weapon.
It was cursed.
Any wounds inflicted by it could not be healed by ordinary healing magic or potions.
This magic spear was custom-made by a fellow descendant of the Daedalus family to satisfy his disgusting and evil hobbies.
'Clang——'
Sarah's eyes flashed with bone-chilling killing intent.
Her slender hands, which were originally like those of a young lady, instantly transformed into sharp claws, directly blocking the attack of the magic spear.
The current Sarah was no longer a 'monster', but a 'magical beast' from mythology.
"What!"
Dix was shocked to see his magic spear being caught barehanded.
Did this Lamia have such strength before?
Something wasn't right.
Even an strengthened species Lamia shouldn't have such strength.
What was going on?
'Slap——'
However, this was a battle, and the only thing on Sarah's mind was to kill the hateful human in front of her.
Her snake tail, carrying terrifying force, slammed directly into Dix's left arm.
With a 'crack', Dix was instantly sent flying.
His left arm was already pierced, and now it was even more injured.
The sound of bones shattering made it clear to everyone that his arm was useless.
"Damn it!"
Dragging his broken arm, Dix got up, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
If it weren't for that bastard from Freya Familia, how could he have fallen into such a sorry state, even being suppressed by a mere Lamia monster?
