174 Chapter – 174 (Back to 25th Floor)

Cassandra and Daphne were still outside "Blue Pharmacy" and were waiting for Primis to come out. Cassandra was still too shocked by Primis revelation. Her eyes had nearly lost all the light as she felt that world was falling down on her. Now currently her only hope was "The Black Swordsman". In case other person would have said that she didn't have much time left then she would just have laughed it off but not this time.

Daphne by her side was hugging Cassandra to give her as much moral support as she could. As they were waiting, space ripped and Primis appeared in front of them. At first, they got shocked when someone appeared suddenly, but they saw it was Primis they took a sigh of relief. Primis didn't even glance at them and just walked past them. As they were thinking of giving him a call, they heard his words resounded near their ears.

Primis: Follow me.

They both became excited hearing this. Hope also appeared in Cassandra eyes as they both hurriedly followed.

Primis: I will make you both a Familia who is affiliated with me. You can reveal your identity as Seer to that Familia Goddess without any problem. But only to the Goddess not the other members. If they or anyone else ask, then just say that you are divinatory.

Cassandra: Ok.

Cassandra nodded. She already knew how much sought for she was currently.

Daphne: Is the Goddess of that Familia, will really treat both of us well? I can understand that Cassandra is really valuable, but I am not like her.

'Primis: At least she knew her position. In truth, I also only want Cassandra and don't care about Daphne. But if I don't take Daphne then Cassandra won't agree. Not that I care because I only need to rewrite their memories but with Daphne support, Cassandra will feel more comfortable.'

Primis: Don't worry. If anyone say or do anything rude to you then just tell me.

Daphne startled when she heard Primis words. She then looked down to hide a slight blush before saying.

Daphne: T-Thank you.

Cassandra also became happy seeing Daphne. Now she didn't have to worry about her friend being looked down my other members.

Primis: Well, knowing them I am sure they will also accept you without any problem.

Daphne: I see.

'Primis: Though the situation will become different if Cassandra's "that" power will be revealed. That time even Hestia won't hesitate a single bit to kill her even if she was her own Familia member. I need to prevent that.'

{Primis: Ophis.}

{Ophis: Hm?}

{Primis: Cassandra is not a mere Seer. She is "that".}

Ophis tilted her head cutely not understanding what Primis meant. However, in the instant something stuck in her mind and her entire countenance changed. An extremely grave and serious expression appeared on her face.

{Ophis: She must be killed, immediately. I will get rid of her now.}

At this time, Cassandra who walking behind suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She felt as if death was approaching her.

{Primis: Stop. She can be a great use to me.}

{Ophis: .........}

Ophis stopped and looked at Primis face from his shoulder.

{Ophis: Are you sure, Primis? You already knew what she could do with "that" power.}

{Primis: Yes, I know.}

{Ophis: ......Ok.}

{Primis: Ophis, later I want you to put a seal on that power of hers. The seal should so strong that no matter how dangerous the situation gets, even to the point if Hestia Familia fall into life and death situation, the seal still won't budge until you herself remove it.}

{Ophis: Mn.}

Then they remained silent during the whole way. Even Sheng Ming and Ais realized something was wrong when they saw how Ophis released a bit of her aura. However, since neither Primis nor Ophis said anything, they didn't ask. Soon they reached their destination.

Both the mouths of Cassandra and Daphne opened wide when they saw "Raven Sight". Although, they had lived in a big mansion of Apollo Familia, "Raven Sight" stood at a whole different level. Primis opened the Gate and entered inside. They also followed. They got more surprised when they saw such a great vegetation around the mansion. The air was also very pure, and trees were very lustrous. It appeared as if they were welcoming Primis return.

As they both were still looking around, they reached the door of the mansion and entered. Once inside they again started to look at the interior of the mansion. Everything was proper furnished, and paint and decoration matched perfectly with each other.

'Daphne & Cassandra: Amazing.'

By now, Ryuu and others came out of the room they were resting. They looked at Daphne & Cassandra with confusion.

Primis: They both will be joining Hestia Familia. You all can introduce yourself and get them used to "Raven Sight" later. For now, I am taking Lili and Haruhime to the dungeon.

They all nodded. Primis then took out two books out of nowhere and give it to Cassandra and Daphne.

Primis: I have invited an exclusive Doctor for the Hestia Familia. Since it will be a single doctor, I want you both to have some basic knowledge of medic so that you can give it a hand. The doctor will come in 4-5 days. That will be enough time for you both.

Once Cassandra and Daphne nodded, Primis turned and left the mansion again.

Primis: Let's go, Lili, Haruhime.

Lili & Haruhime: Yes.

Lili and Haruhime then hurriedly followed Primis. Before walking past Cassandra and Daphne, they both gave them a nod. Ryuu and others saw how Primis just came and go without giving much explanation and sigh.

******

******

This time instead of going to babel, Primis just waved his hand and a portal appeared in front of them. Once they passed through the portal and reached other side, everyone amazed. They looked up and saw ceiling filled with brilliant shining crystals of two colors, white crystals in the center that resemble the sun, and blue crystals surrounding it that resemble the sky. It was enough for them to guess their current location.

Ais & Lili & Haruhime: 18th Floor.

{Ophis: You marked this floor as another point of the portal.}

{Primis: Yes. I planned to do the same on 28th and 39th Floor later.}

{Ophis: Mn.}

Ais, Lili, and Haruhime were still looking around in shock. Nevertheless, when they saw the dome which was still covering the whole Rivira inside, they confirmed it.

'Primis: Hmm. There are a lot less Adventurers on this floor compared to yesterday.'

[Your words must have hit their cords yesterday. I am sure they have gone deeper into dungeon to hunt stronger monsters so that they can become strong faster.]

'Primis: That will be better for them.'

Primis: Let's go.

All three nodded dumbly. Sheng Ming chuckled seeing their reactions.

{Sheng Ming: Little Sister, you should get used to you Husband non-conventional ways. Otherwise, you will just make fun of yourself by showing such shock look every time.}

{Ais: ............Um.}

Ais nodded. She had already seen Primis do such things. Though, it's still difficult for her to get used to it.

Next, they all went deeper into dungeon. From 18th Floor to finally 25th Floor again.

CHURN!!!!

CRASH!!!!

SPLASH!!!!

Hearing the old Familiar sound of waterfall, Lili and Haruhime raised their guards to limit. They hurriedly drew out their weapons and be prepared for the monsters.

Primis: All yours.

Saying this Primis disappeared from their sight again, leaving only Lili and Haruhime behind. Lili hurriedly used her power to sense the vibrations from the earth while Haruhime spread her icy wind around to find any flying enemies in the area. Then they nodded at each other and rushed towards a certain direction. Their speed was a lot faster than before. Soon they found the first monster Raider Fish.

It was a fish type monster that can reach up to 160 cm long. It jumped out of river when they reached near the riverbank. Just as it was about to swallow Haruhime, she side-stepped casually and dodged it. Lili at the side jumped towards it. She covered her leg with earth magic and kicked it with her full strength.

POW!!!!

Raider Fish: GAH!!!!!

FWOOSH!!!!!

BANG!!!!!!

The kicked really hurt it hard as it was thrown at the thrown at side and collided with the wall, away from the river. Since it was not a normal monster but the one of 25th Floor, it still tried to move even on the land.

WHOOSH!!!

Haruhime appeared in front of it in the next second. Her folding fan was completely covered in ice hence it increased its sharpness even more. Since the mouth of the raider fish was still open, Haruhime's fan touched the corner of its mouth and took it to the middle.

TEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sound of tearing was heard as the mouth of the raider fish teared open from the corner to the middle. Blood started to gush out of it. The organs in the way also were cut and were releasing their juice. Even the acid in its stomach came out. All these juices, blood, and acid combined and released acid burning sound.

SSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raider Fish: GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raider fish released an extremely painful voice. Haruhime ignored its voice and stepped back to prevent that mixed juice from falling on her. Once she was done, Lili hurriedly came from behind. She stepped on Haruhime shoulder and jumped even higher. When her jump took her to the required height and right above the raider fish, she held her dagger tightly and covered it with her earth magic.

She made the pointed edge of dagger as hard as she could so that it won't break. Then she fell on the raider fish and thrusted her dagger right on top of it.

THRUST!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raider Fish: GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering Lili made the dagger stronger, it didn't break when it touched Raider Fish skin and because of the strength provided by her earth magic, the dagger went deep in its body. Blood of raider fish gushed out and fell on Lili, but she ignored it. Raider Fish started to struggle violently. Trying its best to shook Lili off but too bad she didn't let go.

WHOOSH!!!

Haruhime moved and appeared on the other side of Raider fish which was still intact. She covered her left-hand with the ice and turned it into a claw. Her ice-claw then penetrated raider fish's eye. Then she pulled it out.

SPLURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raider Fish: GA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blood fell on Haruhime which she ignored. Blood vessels were also out when its eye was pulled. Next, Haruhime closed her folding fan and thrust it inside the hollow hole left by its missing eye. Soon, almost her entire arm was swallowed in it. Once she confirmed that she can't go further, Haruhime released her ice magic inside.

Raider Fish sensed extreme danger and started to struggle violently. Though, it was too late by then. Its entire brain and other parts were frozen in a matter of seconds. At first it tried to struggle then it stopped. Lili didn't let go of this opportunity. She pulled her dagger out and thrusted on that point attack.

THRUST!!!!

SPULRT!!!!!

One last gushed of blood came before raider fish dispersed and left a magic stone.

DING!!!!

Lili walked towards it and picked it up. On the other hand, Haruhime looked at eye of raider fish which was still in her left-hand before squeezing and destroying it.

PUCH!!!!!

Blood released from that eye fell on Haruhime's left cheek, but she didn't care.

DRIP!!!!

DRIP!!!!

DRIP!!!!

......

...

Blood was dripping from both their now blood-soaked bodies. It was really a very terrifying seen to watch.
