Yuri took Friné's strike as if it were absolutely nothing.

The entire hall froze. The sound of the impact vanished like an illusion, and the only thing that remained was the boy's indifferent gaze. It was like staring at a stone wall. No—more than that. How hard was this person's body? Harder than steel. Even an iron statue would have cracked under a punch like that… but he didn't.

"Damn... a level 5 adventurer is still far too weak for me."

Yuri's words, accompanied by a slight shake of his head and a bored sigh, echoed through the hall with a bone-chilling coldness. And that echo didn't stop there—it spread like a silent wave, reaching every corner of Orario.

Within seconds, a deafening silence fell over the city.

It didn't matter if they were strong or weak members of the familias. It didn't matter if they admired or despised Takema Kirie—everyone fell silent in that moment.

Two days had passed since the battle between the Hestia Familia and the Ishtar Familia.

Orario was still in shock, struggling to recover from the impact. One of the great familias of Orario, which ruled over the famed red-light district, had been nearly wiped out, shaking every layer of society: adventurers, prostitutes, merchants, guilds, even the gods... no one was left unscathed.

"That boy… how could he do this?!" some of the gods complained—mostly the men who frequently visited the red-light district, now desolate.

The sight of them on their knees, pounding the ground in front of the district—where shops had been partially or completely destroyed—was burned into the memory of many citizens. They were dragged away by their followers, who hid their faces in either shame or fury. Though no one had died, the wound left behind was deep. Merchants, family-less prostitutes, small businesses… everything around the District would need time to bloom again.

Still, deep in the hearts of many adventurers and gods, there was a feeling they wouldn't admit aloud: relief.

After all, the reckless youth had spared Ishtar, the goddess of beauty, and didn't completely annihilate her Familia. As painful as the present was, there was hope that, in the future, the red-light district could reopen—and with it, pleasure would flow back into Orario.

As for the reward he had demanded… well, did that even matter? Whether it was the vice-captain or that Renard, what could they really take from the Ishtar Familia now? Without its greatest combat strength, the level 5 adventurer—there was barely anything left to defend their territory. Who would care about a mere Renard?

On the other hand, the power displayed by the Sunsetter turned every gaze toward him.

He had killed a level 5 adventurer with a single punch.

He had defeated Friné Jamil, the infamous "man-slayer," with disturbing ease.

It wasn't just brute strength. It was something that transcended any known limit. Not even level 6 adventurers compared to it. Even the most renowned—Finn and Riveria—admitted that if they fought him in a real battle... they would probably lose.

In Orario, a new name began to shine brighter than all others—a "sun" that eclipsed every genius and hero.

And so, the name Sunsetter began to spread rapidly, especially in the tavern whispers and conversations.

For more than half a month, Yuri remained surprisingly quiet.

He alternated between visiting Hestia, Riveria, and others close to him, and teasing two new adorable girls from the Hestia Familia. Sometimes, he returned to the Hostess of Fertility, basked in the soft morning sunlight with Ryu, or shamelessly pinched the tails of the two catgirls.

That period of peace was a true rest for his body and mind.

But he didn't grow complacent.

During that half-month, Yuri went on constant expeditions, advancing from the 18th floor of the Dungeon to even deeper levels.

From the 19th floor onward, the dangers intensified. Known as the "Great Tree Labyrinth," this part of the Dungeon resembled a living jungle. Massive trees, dense vegetation, and a poisonous miasma covered the area.

From the 25th to the 27th floor, the scenery changed entirely.

A massive waterfall spanned across three underground floors, plunging hundreds of meters. Channels, flooded caves, and underground rivers housed level 3 amphibious monsters.

Below that, from the 28th floor onward, the Dungeon became a true natural death trap. The terrain transformed into a karst labyrinth, with rocky peaks, deep caverns, areas that required climbing, and others where one had to swim to advance. Blade-headed sheep, deer with saber-like antlers, and giant crabs that burrowed tunnels were just a few of the threats.

Fortunately, Yuri had one major advantage: Riveria.

Whenever she had doubts about strategies or encountered something beyond her Dungeon knowledge, she would run to Riveria for answers. Along with advice, she also obtained rare supplies—a miraculous panacea, fire-resistant armor, and other treasures.

Grateful, Yuri always found his own way to repay her help.

(End of the chapter)

I intend to return with the normal updates, guys, but don't be surprised if I end up not posting anything for a day, a lot is happening lately. Also, I've noticed that my immunity is low; I am getting sick very easily.

"Hmph. If you really want to be useful, then entertain me, try to throw those pathetic power stones at me. Let's see if even your insolence can amuse a king."
