I thought I had spent a night without regrets, but come morning, I felt a bit self-conscious.

Thanks to the craftsmanship of the stone dwarves, the inn's soundproofing was solid.

However, it wasn't enough to fool the sensing abilities of a 5 scout.

If mere stone walls could disrupt the senses of an archer who had reached a higher realm, the stone dwarves would have already used their technology to beat down the Demon King's army.

"Hmm~ Did you enjoy last night?"

"......"

Because of this Grace, who was trying to hide her jealousy while playfully smiling with her eyes next to me, was exuding a lot of pressure.

Perhaps it was because she realized that not two, but three of us had stayed in the same bed all night; her presence and giggles felt chilling.

Katie and Irene, completely oblivious to such matters, didn't catch on at all.

Though it seems Han Se-ah, someone who has enjoyed the vast world of the internet, noticed.

After all, Charlotte and her maid, who came as guests, suddenly excused themselves for feeling unwell and holed up in their inn room, which was suspicious.

We got a bit carried away and spent the night until dawn in a master-servant frenzy.

-What in the world did you accomplish at dawn, Teacher Roland?

-Missed out on a beastly woman's outdoor fun and she missed out on lady-maid master-servant play as well?

-Grace being jealous is damn cute. Is this why girls watch romance web dramas?

-Its not too late now, just rewind and do a little peeking.

-If we reset, itll be early morning, maybe we can catch the last bit of it?

"Today is the day we finally reach the 43rd floor. Are you saying we should reset just to watch that? And even if we do watch, it'll just be me watching. Do you think I'd stream it? That's an instant ban."

[Hero Han donated 10,000 won!]

Just open an OnlyFans and sell Roland's videos, you fool.

[Roland's Mighty Flaming Greatsword donates 10,000 won!] /Roland_Seah is charging 650,000 won a month. Is that correct?

"What? 650,000 won! Even if it had all of my past streams, it wouldn't cost that much!"

As much as Han Se-ah caught on, naturally, so did the viewers.

The fact that a companion NPC had turned an extra NPC into a feast was quite a shock, creating a buzz in the morning.

Still, Han Se-ah had no intention of dragging this conversation out any longer than necessary.

She chose to ignore it and proceed with the game.

She pushed Katie and Irene, who were still clueless, towards the ruins we were preparing to head to.

Grace, after having her fun at my expense and seeing me squirm, quietly received alchemical arrowheads from Han Se-ah's inventory and began preparing for battle.

What remained were the viewers who were still making a ruckus-

"So, how about we place bets on what we'll find on the 43rd floor today in Granny Pipi's city? Hmm... Should we bet on whether the city is intact or not, or whether a boss monster appears?"

-Boss! You're back! Boss! You're back! Boss! You're back! Boss! You're back! Boss! You're back! Boss! You're back!

-The boss seems like a sure thing on the 45th floor. How about we bet on something else?

-Honestly, I think Granny Pipi's city will be intact. Let's bet on the king wiggler over-under instead.

-Maybe Granny Pipi herself is in danger?

-Then the stone dwarves would be in the red. Some cities have to remain intact for us to continue with the side quests.

As soon as Han Se-ah mentioned point betting, public opinion flipped on its head.

It's said that continuous stimulation makes one crave even greater thrills, and looking at these gambling addicts, it's hard to argue.

Most people preferred to burn their points rather than talk about the scandalous tales of last night they neither saw nor heard.

Despite Han Se-ah's obvious disappointment from not being able to peek...

Well, it's not like I can send her a message saying 'I'm in the middle of s*x-', can I?

"So, honestly, because of the quest progression, I think Granny Pipi's city will be intact. There needs to be something left of it for the quest to continue with the harpy nests above. So, we're betting on the king wiggler."

After getting help from the stone dwarves to sharpen our swords and armor, renting an alchemy workshop to replenish our arrowheads, and restocking our provisions from the merchants that flooded the city, we headed towards the ruins.

Walking alongside Grace, who was glued to my side and not planning on leaving, and Katie, who still hadn't grasped the situation but followed Grace to my side, we could see the heavy and imposing stone dwarf-designed cannons in the distance.

Raei Translations

The task of breaking through from the 42nd to the 43rd floor was so smooth it bordered on tedious.

Charlotte was absent today due to physical reasons, but the 50 intermediate mages she brought, promising them various interests, did an excellent job.

Though called intermediate mages, thinking of them as 4 characters would not be an overestimation; they were equivalent to ten adventurer parties.

With the firepower of these mages, it was like having the strength of thirty parties.

Charlotte must have chosen them meticulously because their practical combat abilities were outstanding.

"Hey, squishies! Here they come again!"

"First squad, turn the floor into a swamp! Second squad, melt their carapaces! Third squad, provide fire support! Squads four and five, replenish mana and rest!"

"Wow, this feels like auto-battle mode?"

Organizing into five squads of ten each, they turned the ground into a sticky liquid to trap and slow down the carapace bugs, used melting magic similar to what they used against golems to reduce their defense, and adjusted their attacks to ensure they didn't resist, blowing their heads off.

Neither fast-moving ogres nor flying wyverns, but creatures that merely crawled on the ground with high physical and defense stats couldn't withstand the combined CC (Crowd Control), stacked debuffs, and concentrated firepower of ten people.

Whatever promises were made, these mages from the Magic Tower acted not like scholars but like soldiers with a sense of duty, crushing the skulls of these subterranean bugs.

Our party simply remained on standby, ready for anything out of the ordinary.

Does this mean there's nothing for us to do?

You never know. There might be subspecies or mutations among those monsters that require a senior adventurer. The big one we saw last time might not be the only one.

Right, we dont know when the one that destroyed the city will show up.

Just as using a cleaver to kill a chicken is overkill, we decided to leave the normal-level monsters to the mages from the Magic Tower and step in only if a large bug or a mid-boss level monster appears.

Seeing Old Bobo not firing the cannon at ordinary wigglers suggests there must be something else that was worthy of those cannons.

I mean, if theres a large open space in a game, with a massive ballista and ballista bolts respawning around you, its a 1000% indication that a boss that needs those will soon appear, right?

As we watched the mages continue their endless combo of CCDebuffFirepower Concentration, sure enough, the wall of the passage began to crumble with a rumbling noise.

Ah, it's collapsing! Are we going to fix that?

Doesnt seem like thats the important part right now?

It looks the same... but somehow bigger?

The large bug that we ran into while breaking through to the 42nd floor appeared again.

This time, with a significantly larger body.

It looks like we can't handle that one, hero. That unique shell blocks magic.

Ah, yes. We'll handle it.

-Its time for you to step in, hero.

-Hanna already feels awkward, calling her a hero doubles the cringe.

-Isnt it the first time the mages are treating Han Se-ah more like a hero than a mage?

-Thats a king wiggler, right? Looks even bigger

-Charlotte mustve promised them something amazing for them to treat her like a hero.

The shell was metallic and thick, similar to rock, but the size was different.

Wigglers are like compact cars; king wigglers, like dump trucks.

But the creature that appeared this time was not just any dump truck but reminded me of those colossal dump trucks youd see in America.

Not even considering the length, just the height alone, the one before seemed to be around 3 meters tall, but this one easily exceeds 5 meters.

Essentially, its as thick as about twenty ogres standing side by side.

But its just as slow... Roland, you wanna take this?

Sure, why not.

After all, I was a man who had been bashing ogres even before I received the rites of enhancement.

Approaching the newly emerged creature slowly, its overwhelming mass became increasingly apparent.

Yet, since it wasn't big enough to flatten and demolish a city, an odd worry crossed my mind instead.

Sh*t, if it's this big, how huge are the mid-boss and the real boss going to be?

The giant snake on the 30th floor might not even compare in size.

The snake on the 30th floor was also huge enough that we had to face it while riding a golem.

Yet, even with its size, it was impossible for it to crush a city by itself.

So, the boss must be at least much larger than the creature we're facing now.

But surely, the boss won't appear today.

Come forth, Durandal.

Using a skill that ignores defense in front of a defense-specialized monster is always a delight.

The last time I summoned Durandal, the viewers missed it and were frantic.

Now they watched as I held a sword of light in my hand, asking what it was.

When hunting a large monster, a larger sword is necessary, after all.
