A Commonplace Story Of Overpowered Sorcerer

Let's return back to the present from the time of Prologue's event. The location: the fiftieth floor of true Great Orcus Labyrinth, where Rio and Liselotte were currently on.

"Rio! Are you okay? What happened?"

Liselotte threw away her swords and went to Rio, who got pushed back from the doors in a hurry. Her heart had skipped a beat before she got fl.u.s.tered when she saw the crackling electricity zapped Rio. She was afraid something bad happened to him.

"No need to worry. I'm not harmed, you see." Rio shook his head, offered his unblemished hand to Liselotte, and explained to her. He wanted to calm her worry because it's needless.

Rio hadn't told Liselotte of his biggest secret, namely his true stats and real skills. So far, Liselotte only knew about his stats and skills from the false status displayed on his modified status plate. Additionally, he added Spatial Magic in his status plate.

It wasn't like he wanted to keep it as a secret forever, but he hadn't met the proper time to explain his unique circ.u.mstance to Liselotte, who only knew him as someone from another world and one of the heroes summoned to Tortus by Ehit.

"Please be more careful next time. Even if you have become stronger than the strongest human in this world, you're not immortal, Rio!" Liselotte castigated him as she stood close before him and rested the back of her hands on her slim, huggable waist. She was still holding her twin rapiers, which had been recovered a short while ago.

"Sorry. Still, don't worry, okay. Something like that isn't enough to even leave a scar on me." Rio gave Liselotte a small smile to placate her, but Liselotte thought that Rio was taking everything without being serious at all. She couldn't help but feel vexed at him.

"Humph!" Liselotte threw her face away and pouted deeply, trying to show her dissatisfaction to Rio. However, their shenanigans were cut short when the two statues of Cyclops at each side of the door trembled.

Liselotte was caught off guard for a moment before she recovered soon after and readied herself. Her red eyes narrowed as she stared at the statues which were cracking and displaying that they weren't what she believed to be.

Meanwhile, Rio eyed the Cyclopes with interest. He knew that they were actually alive despite being petrified.

Their petrified skin rapidly regained its color, going from gray to dark green.

The cyclopes fit the fantasy description for them to a T. They each wielded swords nearly four meters long that they had pulled from god knows where. Currently, they were struggling to free their still–entombed lower halves, determined to eliminate the unwelcome intruder.

"They seem strong," Liselotte mumbled under her breath as she readied herself for another fight against powerful monsters of the Depth. Her twin rapiers crackled with purplish lightning as she used her Electrokinesis.

"Well, let us finish them off before they can get out, shall we?" Rio commented easily and waved his hand towards one of the cyclopes. Simultaneously, he used Spatial Magic.

A thin white line suddenly appeared around the Cyclops at the left of the door. And the next moment, its massive head was lopped off of its shoulders before a shower of blood sprouted from its neck. It happened in split second. And just like that, one of the cyclopes died without knowing what happened. Its rotating head that floated on the air showed a dumbfounded expression.

"Although I have seen it countless times already, it keeps reminding me that you're truly an outrageous existence, Rio," Liselotte mumbled in amazement. But, she soon recovered from her amazement and followed Rio's example. She pointed one of her lightning clad rapiers towards the second cyclops, which had frozen in shock due to its comrade's instant death.

That cyclops finally sensed danger from Liselotte and was about to roar to intimidate the blue-haired maid. However, before it could even create a sound, a bolt of purple-colored lightning punched through its only eye and fried its brain, killing it.

Thus, the twin cyclopes that gave Rio a bit trouble in the canon timeline were killed just like that. They made a quick work on them that would make adventurers, mercenaries, and knights turn speechless if they saw it.

Afterward, Rio sliced a small portion of the cyclops' meat and grilled it with his fire magic. He didn't forget to add seasoning to make the shitty taste of monster's meat a tad bearable. He then ate his portion in silence before handing over Liselotte's portion.

When Liselotte received her portion, her pretty face distorted in disgust. She'd eaten monster meat since she was summoned here by Rio, but she couldn't become accustomed to the unpalatable taste of it.

When Rio saw that, he gave Liselotte a consoling smile and took out a jar full of honey from his pocket dimension. He then took out a short, thin stick from his hammerspace and put it inside the jar. He stirred the stick until the thick and viscous honey stuck on it before pulling the stick out and freezing the honey around the stick. He was creating a cold treat to help Liselotte's palate to recover from the abuse of eating monster's disgusting meat.

As Rio did all that, Liselotte was eating the grilled meat in a hurry. Her face twisted as she did that. She almost threw up from the unpalatable taste but forced it to enter her stomach. Afterward, she took out a vial of ambrosia that was given to her by Rio from her ring-shaped storage artifact.

Previously, the ring was only a simple ring from a steelware that allowed Rio to find her whereabouts and summon her to his side using Spatial Magic. After he summoned her to the Depth, he upgraded the ring. Other than acting as a storage artifact, it also had the ability to create an impenetrable barrier that could protect Liselotte's from a deadly ambush that can kill her in instant.

All the digressions aside, back to the current situation. Liselotte grimaced when she experienced the familiar stomach ache from ingesting the meat of strong monster. At the same time, she could feel that she became stronger and obtained a new skill—the cyclops' skill. She then accepted the cold treat from Rio and soothed her palate with it. Simultaneously, she took out her status plate and checked her status.

"Hmmm... Hai hot hundredh oh hahue inh hengh, hithahity, han hehends. He hew hillh his hiahahond hin?[1]" While slurping her cold treat, Liselotte mumbled incomprehensibly.

Rio stared at her when she did that. His expression shifted subtly and his eyes were glittering pensively and perversely. He was looking at Liselotte's mouth which was s.u.c.k.i.n.g on the treat and couldn't help but think, 'I haven't received a blowjob from her, have I? Should I train her more until she's skilled enough with this cold honey treat?'

Liselotte sensed Rio's gaze on her and looked up from her status plate. She titled her head quizzically when she saw him like that. She could tell that Rio was thinking about something perverse, but she wasn't offended. After all, they were lovers and already did have s.e.x. Still, she was curious why Rio was thinking perversely so suddenly.

Liselotte pulled out her cold honey treat and swirled her tongue on the tip for the last time. Simultaneously, Rio gulped his saliva heavily when he saw the stimulating sight before him. Liselotte was unaware of the real reason why Rio actied like a horndog all of sudden.

"What kind of perverse thing you're thinking, Rio?"

Liselotte's question woke up Rio from his stupor. He soon shook his head and forcefully pulled out his mind from the gutter. He then answered Liselotte's question vaguely and changed the topic forcefully, "Nothing important. Let's check out what's inside this room."

Liselotte stared at Rio quizzically. His answer didn't satisfy her curiosity, but she allowed Rio to change this subject. She then said to him, "Do you know how to unlock the door? You were zapped by it before."

"I think we need to use the mana crystal inside these two cyclopes to unlock the door," Rio replied easily. Inwardly, he was glad that Liselotte agreed to change the topic. He then stared at the dead cyclopes and summoned their mana crystals using Spatial Magic.

Rio carried the two fist-sized mana crystals over to the double doors and placed them in the two indents. They fit perfectly. After a brief delay, they began pouring gouts of dark red mana into the magic circles. The sound of something snapping echoed in the distance and the light began to fade. Mana started diffusing through the room at the same time, making the surrounding walls glow with a bright light.

The room was suddenly filled with more light than Rio and Liselotte had seen since their arrival in the Depth.
