Chapter 132: Danger Arrives, Surrounded by Monsters!
Hearing Ethan's words, the Xenos all showed disappointment.
Especially Rei.
Before coming here, she had already guessed as much.
After all, a "special case" like Sarah was absolutely an exception among exceptions.
However, when she truly received that answer, she still could not help letting out a sigh.
All Xenos were "monsters" with self-awareness and intelligence.
Unlike the monsters in the Dungeon, in a certain sense, they were more like "humans."
However, the fact that they were "monsters" meant they would never be accepted by humans.
In the same way, the other monsters in the Dungeon would also hunt them down.
It could be said that the name "Xenos" fit them especially well.
No matter which side they stood on, they were "heretics."
Because of that, every Xenos dreamed of someday escaping all of this.
Now, Sarah had done it.
Even if she went to Orario, no one would think she was a "monster."
Most people would only assume she was a snake person who had experienced atavism.
With the first "successful case" appearing, it was only natural for the others to feel hope.
Rei was the same.
Even if the chance was one percent, one in a thousand, or even lower, she would not give up.
What if it was possible?
That would become a bright future for all Xenos.
Unfortunately, a case like Sarah's was basically impossible to replicate.
Even if Ethan obtained a second "Servant Spirit Origin," whether another Xenos could successfully become a "Pseudo-Servant" would still depend on luck.
There was also the matter of compatibility with the "Spirit Origin."
Sarah and Gorgon were both monsters with human upper bodies and serpent tails.
They also both hated humans.
Sarah had been captured by humans, treated as merchandise to be sold, and had personally witnessed her comrades tortured before dying miserably in front of her.
All of that had given birth to hatred inside her.
Hatred toward Dix.
And at the same time, hatred toward humans.
In comparison, Gorgon was originally a goddess who had fallen into a demonic beast.
She held extreme hatred toward humans, to the point that she had even descended under the Avenger class.
Under normal circumstances, becoming a "Pseudo-Servant" was already an extremely difficult matter.
It was also extremely dangerous.
"It's all right, Rei."
At that moment, Lyd walked over from the side and patted Rei's shoulder with his large hand.
The two of them had been companions from the very beginning.
Together, they had established the current Xenos faction and gathered so many companions little by little.
Calling them best friends would not be an exaggeration.
"I'm fine, Lyd."
After sorting out her emotions, Rei spoke.
After so many years, she had long since grown used to "disappointment," even "despair."
A small setback like this was not enough to knock her down.
From beginning to end, Ethan did not say anything.
Toward the Xenos, he had no ill will.
Of course, he did not have much goodwill either.
His attitude had never changed.
He was not a kind person, much less a saint.
So even if he had the ability to help someone, if there was no benefit for him, he would not do it.
Sacrificing himself for others was not something Ethan was noble enough to do.
Crack, crack, crack—
A wave of noisy sounds rang out.
Around them, at some point, another large crowd of monsters had gathered.
Most of these monsters were werewolves.
They had tall bodies close to three meters, and some of them even held wooden clubs in their hands.
Each one had a vicious look on its face.
"Damn it. We're surrounded."
Looking at the werewolves around them, Lyd spoke with some self-blame.
As the leader, bringing everyone into such a dangerous place was his responsibility.
It was also his fault.
Because he had met Ethan, he had gotten a little carried away, and even his most basic perception had dulled.
Rei also looked troubled as she stared at the surrounding monsters.
Clearly, she also found the situation difficult.
As for the other Xenos nearby, their expressions were not good either.
After all, in this situation, they might very well end up dying here.
…
"A Monster Party? In a place like this?"
At the altar, Fels's voice became slightly tense.
Clearly, he had not expected an accident to happen here.
Even Ouranos frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
They had finally encountered an adventurer willing to help the Xenos.
If Ethan died here, it would be far too regrettable.
Not to mention, his identity was far from ordinary.
As the rising star of the Freya Familia and Freya's beloved, if he died, all of Orario would definitely fall into chaos.
"Ouranos, what should we do?"
Fels looked toward Ouranos.
Although he only had the body of a skeleton, his anxiety was practically written all over his face.
Or rather, all over his skull.
"Calm down, Fels. There is nothing we can do right now. We can only hope they manage to escape alive."
"What?"
Fels could not help glancing at the crystal ball in his hands, his face full of worry.
Ouranos, however, fixed his gaze on Ethan inside the crystal ball.
For some reason, he felt that this child from another world might be able to create a miracle.
Meanwhile, in that unknown area of the Dungeon that resembled an "arena," large numbers of werewolf monsters poured in from the passages on all sides.
In the middle of the area, a group of Xenos had gathered together.
Their eyes were serious as they scanned the surrounding monsters.
"Ethan, come over and stay with us. That way, we can watch each other's backs."
Lyd invited Ethan over.
Although he was only a lizardman, years of accumulation had made him very strong.
His potential ability was enough to rival Lv.5.
Monsters in the Dungeon were different from humans.
They had no Falna.
However, they could increase their strength by devouring magic stones.
Just as adventurers hunted monsters to obtain magic stones, the Xenos also killed monsters and gained magic stones to strengthen themselves.
After all, no matter where one was, strength was the most reliable thing.
If one wanted to survive in this dangerous Dungeon, strength was absolutely indispensable.
"No need."
Ethan was slightly surprised by Lyd's invitation.
However, he quickly shifted his attention back to the werewolves.
In the previous "Advanced Ten-Pull," Ethan had gained quite a lot.
Now was the perfect time to test it.
"You monsters had better not disappoint me."
Buzz—
As Ethan's words fell, golden ripples began to spread behind him.
Then, one golden circle after another appeared, hanging at his side.
Swish, swish, swish—
One weapon after another extended out from the golden ripples.
Swords, spears, blades, halberds—all kinds of weapons emerged.
