Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

A bullet made from ice appeared in front of the muzzle instantly before moving toward the masked man at sub-sonic speed.

Before everyone could react, this bullet of ice hit the masked man at the end of the darkness!

"Ugh!"

The masked man groaned, and his leg was injured, but suddenly his figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes instantly.

"Did you hit him?"

Finn came back to his senses and asked.

"Yes."

Tsukasa nodded. "I hit his leg, but that guy disappeared instantly." He frowned, wondering whether there was something such as teleportation magic in this world since that masked man disappeared into thin air.

Tsukasa sighed and glanced behind, but he didn't say anything.

"Okay, from now on, I will leave everything to all of you."

Loki gave a bright smile to everyone and said, "Come back alive!" Still, under that smile, it was easy to tell that she had prepared for the worst.

"I won't let my Familia be destroyed in this place."

Finn also replied with a smile, dispelling the panic in his heart. However, in the worst case, he might ask Tsukasa to release that ominous magic.

"Rail, get the giant pillar stone!"

"Yes!"

The simple and honest main member of the second string gathered together and pushed a massive pillar stone with difficulty.

Under Finn's command, Raul pushed the giant white pillar directly toward the Oricalchum gate.

"Huft... Huft... so heavy!"

Raul kept dripping a sweat.

"Heavy is better, so it can hold the gate from closing."

Finn gave a warm smile and then raised his gold and silver spears in his hands.

"Break in!!"

"OOOOOH!!!!"

Everyone roared to answer this call.

All the group moved forward together and rushed into the darkness with pride and determination.

Loki was outside the door, watching her children enter the darkness. She touched her chest and frowned.

"What is this ominous feeling?"

No one could answer her question, and she could only wait until they returned.

---

The end of the passage was divided into three ways.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were covered with smooth rock, which showed that it was man-made instead of natural.

*BOOOM!*

Gareth punched the rock wall, which instantly shattered, revealing a large piece of metal.

"This should be Adamantite!"

Gareth looked at the only white mark on the metal wall with some dents, which caused his face to turn solemn.

"The gate is the hardest metal, and the walls are the second strongest material in the world..."

Finn frowned.

Adamantite's hardness was inferior to Oricalchum, but it was still hard. It was easy to tell by looking at Gareth's actions. He punched with all his might, but only a white mark resulted.

On the other side, Tsukasa looked at the place where the masked man was shot.

"Is this where the masked man was shot?"

Ais leaned over. Her long golden hair swayed in front of his eyes.

Tsukasa's nose was quite itchy since her hair touched his nose.

"Yeah."

Tsukasa frowned and said, "But why isn't there a single drop of blood on the ground?"

Ais realized the strangeness and showed surprise in her eyes.

With the power of his magic weapon, the masked man would definitely bleed all over. Even if he didn't die, it would be impossible for him to be unscathed.

"Bete, come and use your nose in this place!"

Tsukasa had used his sense of smell, but that person disappeared without a trace. However, everyone didn't know about his sense of smell and only thought of it as his insight. He also saw that Bete seemed to look at him from time to time, so he gave him a chance.

"Stop giving me orders!"

Bete snorted, but he walked toward him honestly and twitched his nose slightly.

"There's no smell?"

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Vanished?

What the hell is happening?!

Everyone was in disbelief, but Tsukasa didn't say much since he wanted to learn this person's ability if he was given a chance.

"Let's continue. I believe the answer will be shown soon."

Finn summed up all the current information before he made a decision.

There was no objection, so they started their advance again.

The total number who entered this man-made dungeon was more than 30 people. The number wasn't much different from their previous expedition. In addition to the executives, they were all Level 3, Level 4, and a small number of Level 2.

"Can you guide us, Tsukasa?" Finn asked.

Tsukasa was speechless, but he thought for a moment and said, "There's no danger for a while, so it is better that we walk first." It wasn't that he didn't know where, but the intense smell from the sewer made it hard for him to walk toward their target. He also needed time to process all the information about the man-made dungeon.

After all, even though it was man-made, it was created by the legendary crafter a thousand years ago and continues until now, making it hard to decipher.

However, frankly, he didn't see anything that could endanger him in this place, so he knew they should be alright as long as they walked straight since it was the shortest part for them to meet someone.

"I see..." Finn sighed, but this was something that he had expected, so he wasn't that disappointed.

As they walked, they saw something in front of them.

"Is this a staircase?"

Several passages were explored, and everyone found a staircase leading to the bottom.

"It's like a dungeon, right?"

"Yes, it feels like we are exploring the unexplored floor!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Slowly they became interested in this man-made dungeon.

"What a strange statue."

Beside the stairs, Tiona saw two strange statues on the top.

The statue's body was dark and carved into the shape of a monster. It was like it was living and might move in the middle of the night. Normal people didn't dare to collect such a statue.

Tsukasa just shot the statue.

*Crack!*

The statue was destroyed instantly.

"What's wrong? Why did you destroy the statues suddenly?"

Tiona exclaimed.

"I feel like someone is watching us from that statue."

Tsukasa's words alarm everyone, and no one thought he was joking around since they knew well about his instinct, insight, and intuition, which they relied on upon in many situations.

It also made them look at the statue with a scare.

Riveria stepped forward and found two orb-like crystals from the statue's head.

"This seems like a magic item. Could it be that the remnants of the Evilus are using this to monitor our movement from a distance?"

"Do you still feel it?"

Finn smashed another statue, then asked Tsukasa.

"No."

"It seems those statues are used to monitor the situation inside the man-made dungeon. Everyone pays attention and immediately destroys any suspicious statue!"

Finn ordered and shouted, "Rakta, draw the map carefully! The others also ensure the wire is still connected to the entrance!"

"Yes!"

Led by the executives, everyone quickly entered the second floor of the man-made dungeon along the stairs.

However, unlike the previous floor, this floor was empty. There were no people, not even a single monster, only a gloomy several passages, but the scale was more than double that of the upper floor.

Then the third floor, the fourth floor...

Three hours later.

They went deeper and deeper, but they saw nothing and only passages.

Their enthusiasm diminished, and they were quite tired.

After all, they had been walking for three hours but saw nothing and didn't encounter anyone.

The only thing they found were various monster statues that they smashed along the way.

Most members began to feel bored, and the executives also started losing their fighting spirit.

Only Finn.

His face became more and more gloomy.

"Riveria, how many floors have we descended?"

"I don't know."

Riveria closed one of her eyes, and her face wasn't good.

"All I can say is if you compare it with a dungeon, we should reach the middle floor."

This was the intuition of adventurers who had been exploring dungeons all year round.

"Tsukasa?" Finn looked at Tsukasa.

"We should be on the 14th floor."

"14th floor?"

Finn took a deep breath and bit the nail of his thumb.

"From the first floor, the size of the floor is getting bigger and bigger until this floor. Just one of these floors in this man-made dungeon is even bigger than Orario!"

Finn thought for a moment and said, "Let's divide our group into two."

No one disagreed, and they parted into two groups since they hadn't found anyone as they walked.

One group was led by Finn, Tsukasa, Ais, and Bete.

The other group was led by Riveria, Tiona, Tione, and Gareth.

Tsukasa looked at Line, who joined the other group, and he didn't know why he felt an inexplicable unease.

'Let's go to your house later when we're finished.' Line moved her lips with no words and smiled before she left with everyone.

Tsukasa showed a helpless smile and decided to ignore it since he didn't think anyone could hurt him before he led his group with the rest.

However, when they started to walk and were about to enter another passage, Bete suddenly said, "Finn, there's someone there!"
