Fate: the Strongest Master Designated by the Crown

　　"..."

　　On the battlefield where everything had come to an end, Ais finally relaxed her tense body, and weakly lowered her right hand holding the sword.

　　In the dimly lit cave, only her long golden hair like a dream, and the silver light of the blade that never dimmed, were shining brightly.

Chapter 399 The Sage's Stone

　　Standing among the vanishing ashes in the sky, Ais slowly raised her blood-stained cheeks and looked up silently. The top of the dark cave seemed to have lost her soul...

　　"Ace!"

　　At this moment, Riviria ran towards Ais.

　　"Riveria."

　　Seeing Riviria running towards her, Ais suddenly lowered her head slightly like a child who had done something wrong and was ready to be scolded.

　　But Riveria, who stopped in front of her, didn't say anything, just put her hand on her injured forehead.

　　"Do not move."

　　Ais was about to say something, when Riveria's lips intertwined, and the magic incantation chanted immediately blocked her mouth.

　　Recovery magic activates.

　　Centering on the hand that was stroking Ais' forehead, a gentle green light bloomed, gradually healing her wounds.

　　The fingers touching her forehead, and the green light that healed her wounds made Ais temporarily close her eyes.

　　After the injury was healed, Riveria did not feel distressed at all, she tore off the first-class quality protective cloth she was wearing, pressed it on Ais' face, and wiped off her face. Coagulated blood.

　　Facing Riviria, who was a little, no, and was using the holy cloth to wipe the blood for herself with considerable force, Ais closed one eye and pressed her soft cheek back and forth, letting her wipe it at will.

　　"puff."

　　Seeing this scene, Ye Li, who came over with Riveria, couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

　　"You guys are so good."

　　"??"

　　Ais blinked and tilted her head slightly.

　　Riviria roughly wiped Ais' face before putting down her hand.

　　Ye Li smiled and shrugged, "It was a beautiful battle, although it was a bit messy."

　　"I'm sorry." Ace whispered.

　　Hearing this, Ye Li smiled and shook his head, "It's not me who you should apologize to, isn't it?" He glanced at Riviria as he spoke.

　　Ais froze for a moment, then looked at Riviria, "In."

　　She just opened her mouth, and Riviria, who had been staring at her, was one step ahead and said so.

　　"Ace, am I unreliable?"

　　"—!"

　　Ais was stunned, and then her lips were slightly opened, but she hesitated.

　　Riveria took a step closer to her, raising her hand to stroke her cheek and blond hair.

　　Staring at her close in front of her, her mother-like eyes and movements, and that warmth... made Ais a little afraid to look at her, and lowered her eyes slightly.

　　"I... No, Dione and Lefia, they all treat you as a family."

　　Riveria's warmth penetrated into Ais' heart, causing the burning anxiety in her heart to gradually calm down...

　　She gently combed Ais' long hair, which had become a little messy in the battle just now, said Riviria.

　　"You're not alone anymore. Don't forget that."

　　"Ah."

　　A soft light flickered in her eyes, and Ais nodded lightly, then raised her cheeks, which were stained with a faint blush, and looked at Riviria.

　　"Riveria."

　　"what's up?"

　　"sorry."

　　...a warm smile appeared at the corner of Rivillia's mouth, and she raised her hand and patted the top of Ais' head lightly.

　　Ais held her head in her hands and stayed there in a daze.

　　Looking at Ais and Riviria, Ye Li smiled, but there was a look of longing in his eyes.

　　Matthew, I miss you...

　　After collecting the loot from the defeat of 'Udeus', Rivia turned her head to look at Ye Li, "Mr. Ye Li, Ais and I are going back, how about you?"

　　Ye Li smiled and said, "Then I'll take you on the way. Originally, I planned to go back. But, I stopped by to see if 'Udaius' was resurrected, and only then did I meet you."

　　"Are you here to challenge 'Udeus'!?" Riviria was slightly surprised.

　　"Yeah." Ye Li smiled and touched the back of his head.

　　"However, it's too late."

　　"I'm sorry." Ace apologized softly to him.

　　Ye Li waved his hand, "No, there's nothing to apologize for. It was you who came first."

　　"Okay, let's go back to the ground. I'll give you a ride."

　　After speaking, Ye Li used the 'replacement' magic to distort the spatial orientation, connecting the front and the ground.

　　"Come with me."

　　After unfolding the replacement, Ye Li took the lead in passing through the realized space mirror.

　　I had already experienced it once last time, and I also believed in Ye Li very much, so Ais and Riviria followed without any hesitation.

　　On the ground, in the square in front of the Tower of Babel...

　　At this time, the sun had already set, and there were not many adventurers in front of the Tower of Babel at night.

　　"It's amazing magic."

　　In a single step, he returned to the ground from the 37th floor of the dungeon in an instant. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him that could no longer be familiar, Riviria couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

　　Ye Li smiled and said, "I haven't been to your place, so I can only send it here."

　　Riviria said: "I've already helped a lot. If we come back, I'm afraid Ais and I won't be back until tomorrow."

　　"It's just a hands-on effort."

　　Ye Li said, "Then, I should go back too. I've been in the dungeon for a long time today, so it's time for Hestia and the others to worry."

　　Riviria nodded.

　　Ye Li looked at Ais, who was still staring at her inexplicably, and couldn't help laughing, this girl...

　　then……

　　"By the way, this, please accept it." Ye Li stretched out his palm while speaking, and then, under the gazes of Ais and Riviria, a light green, triangular-shaped peridot appeared out of thin air. when she appeared.

　　"??"

　　Facing the gem that Ye Li reached out and handed over, Ais was a little stunned.

　　"This is!?"

　　Looking at the light green gem in Ye Li's hand, Rivilia said in surprise.

　　Ye Li smiled slightly, "It's just something similar to a talisman. It should be able to help you a few times at critical moments. Accept it. However, remember to stop messing around like you did just now."

　　This light green gem that looks like a peridot is actually a 'Sage's Stone' refined by Ye Li through alchemy.

　　The 'Sage's Stone' contains almighty magical power.It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is omnipotent, but the effect is really amazing.Not only can it cure all diseases and pains, it can even resurrect the dead, and there are many other uses, so it is called omnipotent.

　　The 'Sage's Stone' that Yeli gave to Ais is slightly different. Under his deliberate refining, this 'Sage's Stone' only has the effect of healing injuries. Once someone is injured or sick, they will spontaneously activate the power to heal.

　　Ais glanced at Ye Li, then at Riviria beside her.

　　Riviria smiled and said, "Since it's Ye Li's kindness, accept it if you like it."

　　Hearing this, Ais looked at Ye Li, and after a while, she reached out and took the light green gem.

　　"Thank you." She thanked softly.

　　Ye Li smiled, "It's nothing, it's not something precious. Well, see you next time."

　　As he said that, he no longer hesitated, and while waving to Ais and Riviria, he replaced the space again and walked directly back home.

　　"Well. See you next time."

　　Looking at the back of Ye Li returning home, Ais looked at the palm of her hand, the light green gemstone that exuded a touch of enchanting brilliance under the dark night, and her beautiful eyes were also flickering with some moving bright colors.

Chapter 400 The deepest part of the 49th floor

　　"Roar--!!"

　　A vicious roar sounded repeatedly.

　　Accompanied by the roaring sound of footsteps like an earthquake, a group of people with two big horns that turned like goats, a monster with a face like a horse's face on its sturdy neck, its hooves striding, trampling on the desolate creatures. ground.

　　As if echoing the successive snorts, their blood-red eyeballs twitched around, staring at the figure of their prey.

　　The monster-level huge bodies raised their stout arms holding blunt stone weapons over their heads, and launched combos against the only one among them, but different from their prey.

　　"drink--!"

　　In the group of monsters, a very calm drink sounded, and then a bright electric light suddenly bloomed in it!

　　"Crackling--!!"

　　A sword broke through the air, and the thunder and lightning on the lingering pitch-black magic sword, in a series of crackling thunder explosions, skyrocketed in vain, covering the magic sword, forming a huge thunder sword.

　　The giant sword swept across, and a half-moon-shaped slash formed by a large number of 760 thunderbolts suddenly shot out of the sky. Under the impact of the violent thunder and lightning, a monster fell like cutting rice.

　　After solving the crisis in front of him with a single sword, Ye Li turned his head and looked sideways at several monsters in the back, waving their arms, smashing the stone-made blunt weapons, twisting between the electric light and flint, covering the body. With the left hand of the jet-black gauntlet like a dragon's claw, he instantly grabbed the blunt weapon smashed by the monster on the far left, and then, with the combined strength of turning around, grabbed the blunt weapon in the monster's hand...
