Dimension Game Empire Chapter 163

“Hoo————!”

The wind blew through the enormous cavern once more, slowly carrying away the pile of ashes that had once been Goliath’s body. Standing beside the fallen Levis, Xia Yan exhaled deeply, looking somewhat weary.

This was only natural.

Although he could already control the energy output of the Apostle Cross Light quite well, Xia Yan had poured a large portion of his soul energy into it in one go, to ensure that he could steal the monster without fail.

Soul energy, in other words, could also be called mental power. However, as an Apostle, Xia Yan’s mental power was fundamentally different from that of other beings.

And having consumed a large portion of his mental power, Xia Yan would naturally show signs of fatigue.

“Ugh.”

Xia Yan’s body suddenly trembled violently. He gritted his teeth, and only after several seconds did the trembling gradually weaken. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face a little pale.

Exiting S.E.E.D state would lead to a period of weakness, as a price for the burst of S.E.E.D. However, this side effect would gradually weaken as Xia Yan adapted to and controlled S.E.E.D.

“Ais?”

Standing next to Xia Yan, Ais immediately noticed his abnormality and quickly supported his arm, allowing him to lean on her. Leaning against the girl at zero distance, Xia Yan could feel the smooth touch of her skin from the exposed parts of her clothes.

Due to the difference in height, Xia Yan could look down at Ais’s figure. Only now did he realize that although Ais’s proportions were slender, her breasts were the type that looked small but were surprisingly bountiful when undressed.

Coupled with her curves, was she unexpectedly of the childbearing type?

Speaking of which, Ais is kindly helping me, what am I even thinking…

Xia Yan mentally chastised himself, waved to Ais, and smiled.

“Thank you. But it’s nothing serious, just a little tired.”

“Is that so?”

Ais’s clear, watery eyes stared at Xia Yan. Although her expression didn’t change, he could still feel the girl’s concern.

Just then, a charming voice rang out from behind.

“That was amazing!”

Xia Yan was stunned. Before he could react, Tiona rushed over from outside the cave, grabbed one of Xia Yan’s arms, and eagerly asked.

“What was that? What was that light at the end? I saw you use it last time too. It looks like magic, but you don’t need to chant. Is it a skill?”

Being questioned by Tiona with such curiosity and anticipation, even Xia Yan was taken aback and couldn’t react for a moment.

Then, Finn and the others arrived.

“Tiona.” Finn sternly warned.

“An adventurer’s ability values are confidential to the individual and the Familia. You can’t reveal them to others. You’re violating the rules.”

“Aww~~~” Tiona immediately puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

“What does it matter? I wouldn’t spread Little Brother’s information around.”

“Alright, stop messing around. Idiot.”

Tione pulled the unwilling Tiona off Xia Yan.

“You’re making things difficult for him.”

Xia Yan understood the Amazonian girl’s straightforward personality. He knew that Tiona was only curious and wanted to understand him, which was why she did something that adventurers usually avoided. It could also be seen as a sign that the girl was fond of Xia Yan.

Otherwise, why would a LV.5 Tiona not know these rules?

Although he didn’t know why Tiona was so nice to him, he could feel that Tiona was full of goodwill towards him. Naturally, Xia Yan also found this girl to be somewhat straightforward and cute.

“There’s nothing I can’t say. It’s my magic.”

Xia Yan smiled slightly, patted Tiona’s head, comforted the aggrieved Amazonian girl, and said slowly.

“Although I don’t need to chant, I’ll enter a period of weakness after using the magic.”

In fact, it was the end of the S.E.E.D state that caused the period of weakness. However, information that was seven parts true and three parts false was more likely to be believed.

Xia Yan glanced at the fallen Levis. This information would eventually be transmitted to Levis through the Loki Familia. And such false information was often the most fatal in battle.

“Uh… you don’t have to tell us the side effects…”

Finn looked at Xia Yan with a somewhat wry smile.

“What does it matter?”

Xia Yan shrugged, looking like he didn’t care at all.

He really is a complete newbie…

“Let’s not talk about that.”

Finn suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and said with a smile.

“Let’s go to the 18th floor and get some rest.”

This was the 18th floor of the Dungeon.

As a labyrinth located underground, it shouldn’t have had any scenery that would amaze people.

However, the scene that appeared before Xia Yan’s eyes made him slightly surprised.

The ceiling of the 18th floor was made up of a vast ocean of glowing crystals. The light emitted by the crystals was as warm and gentle as the sun, illuminating the vast and vibrant grassland before him.

It was filled with gentle light and clean air that were completely out of place in a monster-filled underground labyrinth.

Thick trees covered with moss.

Clear rivers with the sound of flowing water.

In the sky, countless crystals grew seamlessly on the ceiling of this floor, emitting a gentle light like the sun. It made this labyrinth on the 18th floor feel like it had a sky, which was extremely beautiful.

“This is really the Dungeon…”

Xia Yan looked around in amazement. Even on the surface, such beautiful scenery was extremely rare. What’s more, this was the monster-filled Dungeon.

After personally coming to this fantastical world, Xia Yan could feel the impact and surprise brought about by this incredible scene even more.

“The ‘sky’ above adjusts its brightness with the passage of time, giving this small world morning, noon, and night.”

Tiona, who had been paying attention to Xia Yan, noticed his surprised expression and said enthusiastically.

“The changes in time are not stable, and there are some subtle differences from the surface. The time difference will also fluctuate, so don’t assume that daytime here is the same as daytime above. Maybe Orario has already welcomed the night.”

“Is that so? That’s incredible~”

Xia Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the fresh air unique to the 18th floor, and showed an expression of enjoyment.

“Yeah, that’s why the Dungeon attracts so many people to adventure.”

Ais also nodded in agreement.

“No, I’m not talking about the Dungeon.”

Xia Yan smiled and patted Ais’s head, causing Ais, who had never been treated this way by a member of the opposite gender, to be stunned.

“The incredible thing I’m talking about—is the world.”

As if he had thought of something, Xia Yan’s smile revealed a bit of sincerity, making Ais suddenly feel that what Xia Yan had been showing them all along was not his true self.

It made Ais feel slightly annoyed at being deceived, and also inexplicably curious.

Xia Yan didn’t notice the changes in Ais’s feelings, but instead recalled the night he was first selected by the Empire Club.

As expected, my choice was right.

Compared to the bland and empty reality, I prefer to see all kinds of novel things and go to different worlds. And the incredible Dungeon is just one stop on his journey.

No matter what—

Hello, world.
