The first and second caverns turned out to be duds.

There were magic reactions inside, but they were just at the level of production factories, with no boss monsters.

It was clear that if we entered, we would just end up walking for a while before the ceiling collapsed, so there was no reason to go through them.

Han Se-ah, who had been using the magic tool to predict the inside of the caverns, shook her head in disappointment.

Of course, since the exploration tool was treated as a quest item and linked to the minimap, her conclusions were certain.

The fact that the exploration tool was openly integrated with the game system meant that searching from outside with the support of the Magic Tower was the game developer's intended solution.

"It's a dud, but it means there was a production base, right?"

If we didn't find it, would the Black Nagas from the 40th floor have poured into the city like the Orcs last time?

Its likely. After all, it seems that the Demon King wants to invade the outside world through the tower.

-This world too, polluted...

Manaashi, finding it incredulous that another world exists and is being invaded by the Demon King, clicked his tongue in disbelief.

Well, for me, who entered into the game, the Demon King is a familiar, almost tiresome concept.

But for Manaashi, it must feel different.

Having fought the Demon King all his life and died, only to be reborn in another world and face the Demon King again, it's like a plot from a fantasy novel.

Sort of like, 'I died fighting the Demon King's army and now I'm an upper-class Death Knight in another world?'.

Except Manaashi isn't human, he's a naga.

"Did the Demon King also destroy Manaashi's world?"

-I don't, know. My last, memory, counterattack.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

-But, the Demon King, being here...

Irene, realizing she may have said something inappropriate, bowed her head apologetically.

He must have ended up inside the tower since the Demon King was responsible for the destruction of his world.

Manaashi seemed genuinely interested in Irene's stories about the Goddess Faith, or more precisely, in what Irene has said about it.

He even sincerely engaged in what could be seen as a somewhat tedious Bible study session.

While Han Se-ah searched for boss monsters using the minimap, and Grace and Katie hovered around me, a sort of sermon unfolded.

...This seems like an important story clue.

Shouldn't I stop watching and listen to Irene and Manaashis conversation?

-Are you an idiot? Isnt Manaashi dropping major story clues?

-Is that important? The ice princess has become a female lolol

-Katie fell hard for Roland after the accident, I didn't expect the cold northern ice queen to melt so hotly under Roland's fiery baton.

[Chat deleted by the mod]

The increase in viewers is good, but dont you think the level has dropped too low? Why are you spewing things in my chat that would be embarrassing even in an anonymous community

[Han Se-ah, the Ace of the Free-ride Bus, donated 10,000 won!]

Complaining like that even though you're used to such comments means you're asking for donations, everyone.

Hey! It's things like 'I prefer Katie's angles over Irene's..', what do you want me to say when I'm struggling to ban these chats!!!

-Its not muscles that grew from exercise streams, but mental resilience.

-If it was a 50,000 won donation, she would have laughed, but because its a chat, he got banned

-Indeed, from the side, they do look like mountains~

-These guys, watching the stream, improved their trolling skills instead of their gaming skills.

However, Han Se-ah seemed too preoccupied with handling the sudden assault from the villains in the chat.

Munching on roasted corn, she had been watching the messy love triangle drama between Grace, Katie, and Charlotte, only to hit by a sudden attack from her viewers.

Thanks to the moans of Katie heard inside the tent last time, thousands of vile viewers were banned, making the chat a bit cleaner, but with an average viewership in the tens of thousands, there were still remnants of the horde left.

In the front, Irene and Manaashi were exchanging idle chatter, while in the back, Han Se-ah was having a dizzying conversation.

"Hanna is analyzing the magic tool, maybe?"

"Judging by her expression, she seems to have realized something.

The genius theory about Han Se-ah is no longer just a misunderstanding but an accepted fact and common sense, as we face the third cavern.

Beeeeep!!!

A cavern filled with something unknown.

As if indicating that there's no need for the third one to be a dud, the warning alarm of the magic tool rings out loudly.

Irene and Manaashi, who were talking in front, as well as Grace and Katie, who had taken positions beside me as the path widened, were startled enough to turn and look back at Han Se-ah.

Beeeeep!! Beeeeep!! Beeeeep!!

"What's going on? What's happening?"

"Something's down there, a lot of somethings. Not just a single mighty foe, but a huge number?"

"More than those roots that created the naga last time?"

The magic tool's alarm blared loudly, like fire engines at a fire scene.

Unfamiliar with how to use it, Han Se-ah only managed to stop the high-pitched, ear-piercing noise after being cursed by the viewers, asking if this time she was collaborating with an otolaryngologist* instead of a dentist.

Originally designed for exploring underground dungeons dozens of meters below or mines hundreds of meters deep, the sound is overwhelmingly loud.

Feeling the tension from this ominous signal, everyone began to tense up.

The collapsing trap cavern from before had dozens of nagas ready.

With the tool making such a threatening beep-beep sound, then there must be at least a hundred.

-So noisy, whats, causing it?

"Looks like there's something underground... But with this level of response, it shouldn't collapse."

Is there a big fish too important to throw away?

Katie nods at Han Se-ah's confident words, which she might have read from the quest window.

Thanks to her image as a genius mage, the party hesitates not a bit to re-enter the tunnel, despite being buried alive there once.

They crawled through a raccoon-sized entrance again with Earth Control.

"Seems like Roland was right last time, should we take some of this dirt?"

"Huh? What for?"

"The underground cavern, even without Hanna lighting it up, you can see a little ahead. When Roland and I were buried alone, I couldn't even see Roland's face."

Despite being under the soil with no light source, it was just dark enough to see ahead faintly.

Like when one goes to the kitchen for water just before dawn, after the moon sets but before the sun rises, barely able to see in front.

Similar to what she and Katie had discussed, perhaps there were bioluminescent microorganisms or glowing moss attached to the soil or tree roots.

Upon hearing that, Han Se-ah took out a glass bottle from her inventory and gently scraped in some soil.

Since the tree roots had already been submitted, this time she only needed to deal with the soil and whatever new creature might appear.

Descending gently downwards in a way that made it unclear whether they were going in circles or not, the faint darkness suggested they were moving straight ahead.

However, Han Se-ah's minimap showed they were gradually spiraling to the right.

Last time, it seemed like they had turned left.

Maybe it was just a coincidence?

"Those are the black nagas from before."

"It looks like they are all born this time. Are those creatures tearing and eating the flesh... no, their own eggshells from where they were born?"

-Truly, disgusting. Will you, entrust me, with the vanguard, again?

After passing through a narrow animal burrow and a passage supported by tree roots, we came upon a clearing that looked identical to the previous one.

However, this time, instead of black nagas being born, they were already out, their flesh and black serpent tails disgustingly entangled.

The sight of sticky, wet black nagas, intertwined like mating snakes, chewing on flesh, was something that couldn't be described as pleasant even in jest.

Perhaps feeling a similar disgust to humans encountering doppelgangers or zombies, Manaashi snorted and prepared to charge, holding his trident at the ready.

That's why my focus was on our party leader.

She had confidently assured us that the underground wouldn't collapse after reading the quest window alone, so in such a situation, shouldn't we be following the orders of our bashful genius wizard whose brilliance shines in such moments?

Around the 40th floor, her title has indeed become quite lengthy.

"Hanna, what did the magic tool reveal? Is it safe to fight here?"

"Hmm, as long as we don't destroy the walls and ceiling, it should be fine. I think the cavern that collapsed last time was an empty trap, but this one seems to be an important base for them as it goes deeper."

-Then, let's go!

Manaashi, like a unleashed hound, surged forward with his aura flaring.

Although Han Se-ah's words were speculative, considering she's a player, she might have some quest information she read secretly.

After all, there's no need to read every single word of text about quest items during a broadcast.

Therefore, I dashed forward, not letting Manaashi take all the spotlight, holding my shield.

The narrow clearing was so crowded that it seemed possible to kill the creatures just by trampling them.

Holding the shield with both hands and focusing mana into it.

While the mana in the warhammer would explode along with a shockwave, the mana in the shield simply made it more solid and heavy, complete with a passive that partially reflected the impact.

"Wow, it's like scrubbing off old dirt."

"Is this the higher levels of projecting mana outward...?"

"Even senior knights can't do that much. That's the level of someone who's been in the higher levels for a long time."

As the dark blue aura hissed like a snake's tongue, contorting around the clearing, the black nagas were sliced cleanly, like threads touched by a sharp blade.

Beside him, Roland, me, emitting a bright blue aura, rolled over the nagas like a steamroller flattening asphalt.

-Han Se-ah's taking it easy again!!!

-LOL, is this the major gimmick of the 40th floor?

-Considering the quantity, anyone would think to use a troll bomb here

-Aren't there places where you can and can't set off bombs?

-I don't know LOL. Seok-hyun is still on the 33rd floor, just think it's Roland being Roland again

The viewers witness an overwhelming display of power, split in two, sweeping clean the cavern, captured on camera.
