Danmachi – Card Wizard

The following morning, Aidan slowly got out of the clutches of a very clingy Ais. He directly went to wash, and by the time he was back in the bedroom to wake up Ais, the girl tiredly opened her eyes and looked at Aidan, who was already prepared for the day.

Opening her arms, Aidan came closer and hugged her once more as he helped her get up, not wanting to see her fall asleep once again. "Ais, today we will receive our alias. We should also be able to go back to the dungeon." He tentatively whispered in her ear as the mention of the dungeon immediately woke her up.

"You think we can?" She asked as her eyes opened in excitement and happiness.

"We should be able to. We only spent two weeks in the dungeon after two months out of it." He answered while smiling.

"Then let's go!" She exclaimed but didn't move from his hug. "Bring me to the bathroom." She continued as he only sighed a bit and hugged her closer to his body before bringing her to the bathroom, where he left her to get ready.

'Sigh, why do I feel I'm slowly becoming tamer in front of Ais?' He asked himself in wonder. 'Is it my imagination?' He continued asking himself. 'Yeah, it probably is.' He nodded to himself as he finished preparing.

"Alright, I'm ready!" Said Ais as she came closer to him and took his hand. "Let's go! We have to meet Loki and tell her we're going to the dungeon for the next few months." She continued as she brought him with her.

Three months later, on the twenty-eighth floor of the dungeon.

With their parameters significantly increased, the duo went from the nineteenth floor to the twenty-fourth floor with relative ease. Since, according to the guild, to descend to the last floor of the Large tree labyrinth, you need at least C in their parameters. They had no problem, even more so when their level one parameters were significantly higher than other adventurers.

However, they didn't dare to enter the twenty-fifth floor, which they should have been able to enter and explore. The reason was simple. The monster Rex Amphisbaena which had a one-month respawn rate was still alive and moving between the twenty-fifth to the twenty-seventh floor.

As such, the duo waited for half a month until they met with a team of the Loki familia specialized in taking down this specific monster rex. So, after hearing of the monster's death, the two of them started training on the twenty-fifth and went down to the twenty-seventh floor.

Fighting on those floors wasn't as hard as they had believed it to be, and it was justified after thinking about it. The twenty-seventh floor was a place where the newly promoted level three adventurers could explore relatively easily. As for them who had the parameters of a weak level, three adventurers, with max parameters in their previous levels, it was a sinch. After all, to enter the 27th floor, you only had to be an average level, three adventurers.

(Aidan: 1500+20%=1800(lv. 1); average 800 parameters (lv.2) = 2600 total parameters)

(Perfect adventurer: 999+20%= 1199(lv.1); 999+20%= 1199(lv.2) = 2398 total parameters)

Finally, except for fighting on the twenty-seventh floor, Aidan and Ais went down to the twenty-eight, also a safe floor in the dungeon. Aidan had been surprised that there were so many safe zones, but it was understandable as there was one after every monster rex. As such, they changed their camping location from the eighteenth floor to the twenty-eight since it was closer to the monsters, which could give them a challenge.

With new teleportation on this safe zone, the duo decided to explore it as it was vastly different from the previous one.

"So, are we exploring the safe zone today?" Asked Aidan as Ais walked out of their shared tent.

"Yes, we've been fighting for three months already, and I'm a bit tired of it recently." Answered the girl. "Moreover, we need to go back to the surface tomorrow, so it's a nice change." She explained as Aidan went closer to her and put the back of his hand on her forehead.

"Hum strange. You're not sick, but you say that you don't want to fight monsters." He said teasingly as he took the girl's hand and brought her outside of their camp.

Giving a quick look at Ais, Aidan smiled as he saw her giving him the stink eye after his previous comment.

"But, this floor is different from the previous one! The caves and the countless rivers and lakes were replacing the cliffs and the trees from the 18th." Said Aidan, bringing her attention to something else.

"Yes, but even if this floor is lower, I prefer the previous one. It is too humid here. I feel soaked simply by walking on this floor." She said, a bit disgusted by all the humidity that stuck to her and her clothes.

"Hum, let me work on that quick." Answered Aidan as he had a great idea, taking out two white cards.

"Let's use the words: Environment regulation." He said, talking to himself as he started engraving the words and infusing some magic power into the cards.

Not even two minutes later, the two cards were ready, and he gave one to Ais. "Keep the card on you, and it'll solve the problem." He said while giving her a card which she rapidly tucked in her pocket.

"Well, let's continue." Said Ais, now happy as she gave him a comfortable look and came closer to him, walking next to each other.

"Welcome back, you two. How was the dungeon~?" Asked Loki as she came closer to the duo and welcomed them back while she massaged the ass of another female member.

*Tump*

"Well, it was nice. We got down to the twenty-eight floor." Answered Aidan as he looked at the now red-palm mark on the right cheek of their goddess.

"Oh? So you managed to get down there, huh. In that case, you should be close to levelling up soon?" She asked as she knew that except for a few, only level three adventurers explored those deeper floors.

"I wouldn't know, but we did fight a lot." He nodded with a smile as he was proud of the last three months of adventuring.

"So, do you want to update your status?" She asked, of which the two youngsters readily agreed. In the end, the only change was for Aidan's stats to reach S and SS while Ais went A and S in her parameters.
