Lin Che, standing on the giant tree, saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim, "This woman truly appeals to both men and women!"
Lin Che also thought Rivilia's appearance was very high.
Among all the females he had seen, she was also a top-tier existence.
In the original work, her appearance was described as beauty surpassing even gods!
Of course, besides Rivilia, many other females ran up to Finn, hoping he would examine them.
This wasn't because Finn was particularly handsome, but because Finn's reputation in Orario was too great.
The Leader of the Loki Familia also held the title of Hero.
Currently, apart from Ottar of the Freya Familia who is Level 7, he is the strongest.
However, the actions of these women angered Tione, who immediately took action and kicked those hussies away.
However, outside the crowd, there was a dog-girl holding a backpack with a look of terror.
She seemed not to want anyone to know what was in the backpack, and fled in a panic.
However, Ais discovered this scene.
Also noticed was the strange person disguised as a man.
Ais chased after her. Lefiya didn't understand why, but she followed as well.
Lin Che saw that strange person also chase after her, and he followed closely behind.
The edge of the eighteenth floor, the Crystal Stairs.
Ais successfully caught up to the dog-girl and stopped her.
The dog-girl knelt on the ground somewhat fearfully, clutching the package tightly with both hands.
"Go back to the plaza!" Ais said to the dog-girl.
"No, no, please no! I beg you, don't make me go back, if I go back there, I'll definitely..." The dog-girl pleaded, grabbing Ais's clothes. As she spoke, she started crying.
Ais felt a little soft-hearted and asked her to explain why.
It turned out this dog-girl was named Lulune Louie, a member of the Hermes Familia.
Because she accepted a quest from a Mysterious Person to retrieve Hashana's luggage on the eighteenth floor, she was being chased.
The person chasing her was the murderer who killed Hashana.
After hearing this, Ais asked, "Who gave you the quest?"
Lulune shook her head and said, "I don't know, I really don't know. I was just walking at night when a person in a black cloak suddenly appeared. Although I found it suspicious, the reward that person offered was too much. I wish I hadn't accepted this kind of quest! If that man was killed because of this thing, then I..."
As she spoke, she covered her head with her hands, falling into a panic.
"Then let us keep it!" Ais suddenly extended her hand.
"Okay!" Lulune immediately took out a sphere-like object from her backpack, wrapped in a layer of cloth.
Lefiya, who was nearby, said, "Can I take a look?"
Lulune nodded and said, "Mm, that person said it couldn't be shown to anyone, but it doesn't matter now."
Ais pulled back the cloth, revealing the object inside.
It was a transparent bead like crystal, and inside the bead was a small monster like an embryo.
Seeing this thing, Ais felt as if her bloodline had sensed something.
It was the feeling of encountering one of her own kind!
"This feeling..." Ais's expression grew increasingly troubled.
Suddenly, the small monster inside the bead suddenly opened its eyes.
Ais suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and her body fell backward.
"Ais!" Lefiya exclaimed in shock.
However, just as Ais was about to fall to the ground, Lin Che appeared beside her and supported her with one hand.
"Are you alright?" Lin Che asked.
But Ais didn't answer. She covered her head with her hands, looking as if she was in great pain.
Lin Che frowned slightly and used healing magic and healing spells on her.
Under the double healing, Ais quickly recovered.
"Are you alright, Ais?" Lefiya asked anxiously.
"Mm, I'm fine!" Ais shook her head, then thanked Lin Che.
Lin Che indicated there was no need to thank him.
At this moment, Lefiya finally reacted, and as if she had thought of something, she said to Mr. Lin, "Mr. Lin, was what you just used healing magic?"
"Mm, yes." Lin Che nodded.
Healing magic is not uncommon in Orario; many people awaken it.
For example, Sage Fels's "All Spirit Magic," Battlefield Saintess Amid's "Dia Frate," Pessimist Cassandra's "Thor's Light," and so on.
"But why can you use two different kinds of healing magic?" Lefiya asked with a strange expression.
Many people awaken healing magic, but it seems no one in the entire Orario has ever awakened two kinds of healing magic.
"Uh..." Lin Che was momentarily speechless.
"Lefiya, that's someone else's secret, don't ask too many questions." Ais suddenly reminded her.
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin!" Lefiya reacted and quickly apologized.
"It's fine!" Lin Che shook his head, not minding it.
Many members of the Loki Familia are like this; they aren't bad at heart, just a bit blunt.
But it's comfortable to make friends with people like this; you never have to worry about being backstabbed.
"Is this thing really dangerous?" Lulune said, pointing at the bead.
"But I'm holding it and I'm fine?" Lefiya said with a puzzled expression.
When Ais was dizzy just now, she dropped the bead in her hand, and Lefiya caught it.
She had been holding it for so long, but nothing had happened to her.
"This thing is related to Ais's bloodline. Put it in your backpack for now." Lin Che reminded her.
"Mr. Lin, do you know about this thing?" Lefiya asked quickly.
Even Ais looked at Lin Che with anticipation.
"I don't know much. You should go back and ask Loki!" Lin Che shook his head, not offering further explanation.
Because he didn't know much about the plot of "Sword Oratoria," he had only watched the anime before, and learned some of the subsequent plot through fan fiction.
Lefiya nodded, wrapped the bead up again, and put it in her backpack.
However, just as the group was about to head back, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
It was the sound of something being blown through leaves, and immediately after, a giant plant-type monster emerged from the bottom of a lake on the eighteenth floor.
These monsters looked like carnivorous plants; they grew not only from the lake bottom but also many sprouted from underground in Rivira Town.
In an instant, the entire floor fell into chaos.
As soon as these carnivorous plant-like monsters appeared, they started attacking adventurers everywhere.
Fortunately, the members of the Loki Familia were in Rivira and blocked the attacks of these monsters.
Lin Che looked at the monsters attacking the town, knowing that the strange person wanted to hold back the experts of the Loki Familia.
This way, she could snatch the bead from Ais's hand.
"Let's quickly go meet up with Finn and the others." Ais said, wanting to go to the town.
But suddenly, the ground cracked open, and four carnivorous plant monsters emerged from underground, attacking Lin Che, Ais, Lefiya, and Lulune.
Lin Che simply glared, activating his Authority "Sky Lord," controlling the wind element to form wind blades, directly shredding the four carnivorous plant monsters.
"So strong!" Ais showed a look of astonishment.
She felt that the current Lin Che was completely different from when she met him on the forty-eighth floor a month ago.
It was as if he had become a different person, and his strength had increased by who knows how many times.
Killing four monsters with just a glare—even a Level 7 couldn't do that, could they?
What level was he, exactly?
However, just then, countless carnivorous plant monsters emerged from underground again.
Lin Che said to Ais and the others, "You go to the town first, I'll cover the rear!"
"Please be careful!" Ais nodded and ran towards the town, protecting Lefiya and Lulune.
At this moment, Lin Che was surrounded by countless carnivorous plants.
These carnivorous plants grew countless green vines, which intertwined to form a cage, trapping Lin Che inside.
"In the face of absolute strength, any method is useless!" Lin Che sneered, forming a sword-finger with his right hand, using his finger as a sword.
"Slash!"
With a single finger slash, all the carnivorous plant monsters turned into dust.
However, before he could make a move, even more carnivorous plant monsters emerged from underground again.
"There's no end to this, is there?" Lin Che said, feeling a bit annoyed.
Since they want to play, he'll play along!
He then began to chant: "Thou hast broken the covenant, bringing sin to the world. The Lord says sinners shall be punished, their backs shattered, their bones, hair, and marrow dug out, their blood and dirt trampled together. If I am the one with sharp fangs difficult to approach, then I shall obey the Lord's word and grant thee destruction!"
The next moment, a divine beast wild boar, even larger than a Floor Boss, appeared!
Lin Che's mouth curved upwards, revealing a villain-like smile as he said, "Trample all the monsters into dust for me!"
The wild boar received the command and began to charge wildly.
Those carnivorous plant monsters were directly crushed under its charge and trampling.
Some were even uprooted!
The vines of those carnivorous plant monsters had no effect on the wild boar; let alone breaking through its defense, they couldn't even break through the boar's inherent "Divine Protection."
The wild boar's massive figure was naturally seen by the adventurers on this floor.
At first, they thought this was a new monster in the Underground City, but they quickly realized something was wrong.
The wild boar did not attack humans but was helping humans clear the carnivorous plant monsters.
