Chapter 11

Monsters. All sorts could be found in the Dungeon, produced by it. They came in all shapes and sizes. From appearing as regular animals with sharper claws, to abominations that created fear. They all had one purpose, to destroy Adventurers. As in their eyes, they saw Adventurers as nothing more but greedy people who came to their home, and killed them. Thus they naturally reacted with a violent manner, befitting of their nature.

"Raa!"

"Groaa!"

Today however, those weren't roars to create fear. But roars...to retreat?

"Avenger!" Olga called out to her Servant, studying a monster that appeared as a giant lizard. Already having it's limbs chopped off while Olga peeled off it's scales to study. The creature itself moans in pain at being a live experiment.

"Yeah Master?" Avenger asked as he quickly chopped up some gorilla like monsters into tiny pieces. Then grabbed a goblin and pulled out his head with a sick pop. Blood spraying everywhere while the bodies vanished away leaving stones and maybe a small piece of the monster behind.

"Get me that imp over there." Olga told him as she then grabbed a needle and stabbed it in the lizard monsters hide, ignoring its squeal. "I want to check it's blood and see how different it is from this one."

"Got it." The imp Avenger then stared at and froze up. It's instincts warning him that this man, no, this horrifying abomination was about to attack. The imp quickly tried to run by turning around.

Only to feel the sickening slice of metal, pain, and then it's body falling onto the ground. It's little legs already chopped up. Torn and sliced away from its body. It's arms were next as suddenly it could no longer move its detached hands. Whimpering, the wings were next as they were crudely torn off, revealing a sick patch of torn flesh on it;s behind. The imp then tossed to Olga, who didn't mind it's pathetic condition.

"Excellent." She said grabbing a vial and taking in some blood. Not showing in form of care of the cruelty done to the monster. Why would she? After all, not like monsters would care if they're positions were reversed. "Now for another test." She then took out a dagger, and stabbed it onto the imp who cried before being unable to breath. The dagger has taken out it's lungs.

Once it stopped breathing and died, it's body turned to dust. Leaving no evidence behind its existence at all. Except for the remaining vial of blood and the leaked blood on the ground.

"Interesting." Olga said as she gazed at the vial of blood. "So far, only blood can stay in existence when the creature vanishes. Everything else but maybe a piece like a horn or claw just vanishes. I wonder why?"

"Who knows." Avenger then dug his hand into a shadow creature's eye, ripping it out then stabbing the monster multiple times. Twisting his blade and digging them deep into the 'flesh' of the monster until it stopped moving. "Kinda reminds me of Servants though."

"Servants...of course." Olga placed a slightly bloody fist onto her hand. "When Servants take too much damage and perish, they always leave no trace of their existence. Yet if one is smart, they can 'claim' a piece of them and anchor it to the world." She then looked at the magic crystals that fell, and a few pieces of monsters that remained. "I wonder if the same method of keeping a Servant body part can be done with these monsters?"

"Should we try it out?" Avenger then jumps onto an Orc and plunges his own fingers into the Orcs eyeballs, the beast screeching in pain. "Could be useful for your little tests." He then ripped out the eyes, ignoring the blood spilling. Then summoned his reverse blades and had them sinking into the empty sockets of the Orc. Twisting and spinning them inside the skull, turning the brain into mush and effectively killing the Orc. The body soon vanished.

"No." Olga said as she grabbed a small rag and wiped her hands clean. Making certain she wasn't infected by monster blood and cleaned up nicely. Putting her vials of monster blood away in an organized manner.

"How come." Her Servant asked while he then ran to a group of monster dogs and butchering them alive. Making certain their guts spilled. The hounds whimpering before turning to dust.

"Because I don't have the proper equipment needed here." Olga tells him. Packing her little bag. "Besides, these monsters are subpar at best. I'd rather use the unique studying methods on the more interesting monsters. Not some knock-off dinosaur."

"Fair enough." Avenger then throws his blade at the knock-off dinosaur's head, killing it in an instant. "Besides, we're done in this area. All the monsters are gone." True to his words, the monsters were gone. Not just the ones he killed, but those who survived having instantly ran fearing for their lives. Having never met someone as brutal as Avenger, and wanted no part with him.

"Should we keep going down?" Avenger wouldn't mind their little trip. He needed the exercise anyway to keep in good shape. Olga shook her head though.

"No. We've been here for like, an hour already. I say we go back." She told him. Her stuff is all packed and ready to go. Placing it on her back. "Plus, I wanna study what I have already. Maybe I'll find something cool." As a Magus, she had to ensure she did her best in her studies. Even in another world, she'll keep doing so. Plus, she had an advantage over other Magus now.

Hehehhe. Unlike others, she could study what may as well be demonic beats. How lucky she is!

"Alright." Avenger yawned. "I guess it would be nice to sleep."

"I still find it weird you, a Servant, want to sleep." Olga said as the pair began watching. The monsters staring at them shivering and were frankly glad they were leaving.

"Hey, just cause Servants don't need to sleep, doesn't mean we don't mind doing so." Especially since he barely got proper rest in his old life. Now however, he can. Man was being lazy a good reward. Even better, his Master didn't seem to mind. 'Much better than those stuck-up white haired losers.' Avenger thought, recalling his old Master. Alleged to the Einz-whatever they were called.

The asses treated him like a tool. So while he lost, he was certainly happy to see that old guy's look. Hahaha! Man he must have been upset the Servant he summoned lost in an instant.

'And now, in this world, relaxation is a possibility.' Who knew sleeping was so good. He can see why humans love doing it. It is the bomb! All those nice dreams he got, the way his body felt relaxed. Anybody who wasn't lazy must be a nerd.

"Oh, are we gonna get something to eat?" Avenger then realized, wanting food first before rest.

"Sure." Olga said, picking up a few magic stones. Then ordering Avenger to pick up the other stones of the monsters he's killed. "We may as well treat ourselves to a fine dinner. A reward for our hard work."

"And cause we don't know how to cook." He grinned.

"...That too." Maybe she could hire a maid later on or something. A chef? Uh, usually back at home people cooked for her while she focused on studies. Here though, she couldn't do that at all. Dang it. At the very least some of the food was healthy here.

The two soon began moving away, ready to go back top of the surface. Though before they could leave the floor they were on, they then heard a noise.

"Haha!" A childish voice cried out. Along with the sound of bones breaking. "Face my wrath you weak monsters! Boom!"

"Come on Tiona!" A more mature sounding girl then called out. "Quit playing around. Save your strength for the real monsters, like the minotaurs. Isn't that right captain?"

"Yes Tione." A young voice said. "Best not to waste our strength in the early floors." Hearing these voices, the Master and Servant pair got curious. They haven't really met anybody down here, having decided to just stay on their own. Olga then moved to see what was up. It was there the two then saw them.

A young blonde boy with a spear...surrounded by multiple beautiful women!

A green haired elf beauty who has stoic features yet the air of grace around her.

A young blonde elf who radiated a sense of cuteness and purity. If not appearing a bit naive and had a nice bust and pink clothing.

Two brown skin amazons that looked alike yet different. One appearing as a child, the other a rather bountiful adult version with a splendid figure.

The last one being a stunning female human with blonde hair, and gave off a deadly charm yet sculpting figure.

"No, way." Avenger said watching. He and his Master behind one of the tunnels with their heads poking out. "This bastard has a harem! Lucky bastard!" It reminded him of that wannabe hero Shiro he sorta remembered. How he seemed to attract girls despite his stupid and dull personality. Pissed him off seeing this.

"Wow." On Olga's side, she was amazed by these beautiful female warriors. Having never seen this many and was amazed by how they held themselves, and clearly could fight. Heck, that younger amazon, she was holding a weapon bigger than her body! Didn't she once overhear some guy in Chaldea how it's 'moe' for cute girls to wield huge weapons. She wondered if this situation matched it.

"Hm?" Suddenly, the young boy who appears to be Olga's age turned around, having sensed someone's presence. The girls also turned and there they saw Avenger and Olga, the two looking at them and blinking.

"Hello." Tiona then waved her hand.

"Eep!" Olga then hid her head. Avenger, doing the same.

Then shoved her out of the corner much to her frustration with Avenger giggling.

"Hey!" She told him with him shrugging his shoulders. Two two heard footsteps and there in front of them was Tiona who smiled down at them. Shaking a little, as Olga hasn't really played or met girls her age aside from that one girl, she did the only thing she could.

"H-hi." Respond with her own hello before hiding behind Avengers back. Nervous by this girl who wielded a massive weapon. One in particular, that had blood on it.

"Come on Master." Avenger said as Olga gripped his cloth. "Say hi to new people." It's nice seeing her funny reactions towards others. He then saw that the others had gathered a bit closer, probably wondering what was keeping Tiona. It was there however he then saw her.

Blonde hair. Those eyes. The very same girl that turned him into tiny pieces. Hold on a second. Aside from the green haired hag and that tiny twerp, he knew them all! The other three girls as well.

"Hey, it's you!" And so did they, the girl Tiona pointing at him. "The man who battled those plans and disappeared." A small twitch came onto his head. Remembering that humiliating battle.

"I only lost cause you guys got in my way." He gritted his teeth.

"We did?" The girl tilted her head. Oh great, an airhead.

"..." Aiz stared at him, recalling who he was. The man that threatened to kill the young boy she knew. Even now she felt a chill down her spine, but wasn't sure why. As she looked at the others, she saw they didn't have the same feeling as her. Was it just her imagination? While that happened, the captain of the Loki Familia gazed at Olga who was still hiding behind Avenger.

"Hello there." He called out to Olga. "Are you new here?" He smiled.

"U-u-uh," Olga slowly stared at him, words slightly failing. Aside from Lev and her dad, along with maybe that drowsy man called a Lord with glasses, she never spoke to anybody her age. As such, she was at a slight loss for words. Her pride as a Magus though told her to speak though, otherwise humiliate and disgrace her name. "Y-yes..Yes!" She then stepped out of Avengers shadow, putting back on the pride of herself to no longer appear childish and silly.

"My name is Olga Marie Animusphere! A noble here to learn about the Dungeon." So one of those types. Finn has seen his fair share of many adventurers. There are many types of the lot, and one of them was nobles like this girl. From nobles who tried to prove their superiority, to those just interested in what the Dungeon was like. This girl was clearly the second type, judging how she didn't seem to be a fighter.

The girl then placed a hand on Avenger, her face no longer faltering and her words no longer stuttering. "This here is my Servant Avenger."

"Howdy." He replied.

"Servant." Riveria said as she looked at Avenger. Her eyes analyzing him, and seeing the tattoos all over his body. 'He certainly has a good build. Not to mention the smell of blood on him is quite big.' The girl's family must have hired this man to protect their daughter as she explores the Dungeon.

In Riveria's opinion, she felt it was foolish for a girl as young as this to enter the Dungeon. Not because she felt it was silly to study the Dungeon. There were many who came here not to fight, but to learn about Orario's mystical Dungeon and it's inner workings. No, she felt it was foolish as this girl had no aptitude to fight. Having no aura of a person who could do her own battle and win, or at the very least not battles that involved deadly creatures.

'Not to mention, she's so young.' There were countless younglings like the boy Aiz told her about, who entered the Dungeon. Always entering because they thought it was exciting, sans a few like Aiz who held no such thought in her youth. Those types of people...usually died.

"Exploring the Dungeon are you." Olga had to stop herself from staring at the amazon's big chest. "I have to admit, not everyday we see a person who comes here to learn instead of to fight or gain fame."

"Nope." Avenger agreed. "This brat right here would rather keep her nose in the book than regular kid things." If it weren't for the fact that she had to uphold her image, Olga would snap at him.

"Well," Finn smiled. "I suppose there's nothing wrong with a person wanting to learn about the Dungeon. The Gods know we could use every bit of knowledge possible to learn more of the enemies that we face." Especially since the Dungeon held so many mysterious that have yet to be unlocked. Hidden away from many individuals, including Finn. He certainly didn't hate those who wished to learn more about the Dungeon, which could help adventurers like him in the long run.

"Still, maybe you should go to the upper floors." He told Olga, kneeling down in front of her. "The lower you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

"I'm not scared." Olga said confidently. "Avenger here protects me."

"Hell yeah I do." Avenger chuckled. "I can easily kill any monster down here. Heck, I actually beat down some stupid plant a while ago."

"Plant?" Olga faced him. "When did that happen?"

The Monsterphillia. At least, what Aiz and the others told Riviera and Finn. The two now knowing who this man is.

'So this is the one.' Tione told Finn about a strange man who actually killed one of the new monster types with ease. Then vanished away.

'He certainly gives the air of a warrior of sorts.' Riviera herself thought. This man, whoever he was, clearly had his fair share of battles. She then noticed Aiz, who was staying unusually quiet. Not that the girl usually talked to others, but this time felt different.

"So this guy is your bodyguard huh?" Finn stared at Avenger who grinned.

"Yep." He then narrowed his eyes. "You...you aren't human, are you?"

"Eh?" Olga said before staring at Finn. "He isn't?"

"Hehe. Yeah, some people might confuse me for a small child." Finn chuckled, recalling his first time coming to the Dungeon. The men stopped him, thinking he was a kid at first. "No, I'm actually a Pallum. And despite my appearance, I'm actually over forty years old."

"Forty!" Olga, for a moment, lost composure.

"The captain is a charmer even at an old age." Tione said putting both her hands on her cheeks. Liking that even if he appeared as a child, he was actually a wonderful grown man. One she could date without consequence. Her sister and Lefiya rolled their eyes, with Aiz confused.

"Yeah." Finn moved slightly away from Tione. "But moving on, you should probably go to the higher floors. The monsters become far more stronger than the ones you've faced. More visciouse to. Starter adventurers should be careful after all."

"Please." Avenger butted in, rolling his eyes. "Master might be a weak brat with no power,"

"Hey!" Olga shouted, becoming angry.

"But I, on the other hand, can handle any threat." He then took out his reverse blades, showing their sinister color. "I'm no mere Servant after all." He's a familiar of the highest order. The weakest of the bunch technically, but still a powerful familiar.

"Really?" Lefiya asked with Tiona feeling the same.

"How strong are you? What's your level?" Tiona asked.

"Easy." Avenger grinned. Then he bent down to Olga whispering, "Hey Master, what's my Level."

Olga rolled her eyes, and decided to just come up with a number that seemed passable. Luckily, she already learned a bit of this world's ranking system of fighters. How the Level indicated how strong a person is and in some ways, how respected. "He's a Level 4." She told them, making them think he's a strong adventurer and not a God as she told the Guild.

"Level 4 huh." Tione could believe that. Anybody who wasn't at the very least Level 3 or higher couldn't possibly beat those plants unless they had incredible skill or a lot of back-up. Those plants were deadly even by usual standards. Though her eyes slightly narrowed as she then recalled something. "You say that, but, you don't have the posture of one." As in, his movement and handling of those weapons seemed rather poor.

"Hey!" Olga then yelled at Tione. "Avenger is a good warrior. He protects me! So...don't badmouth him!"

"Ooh. Someone's in trouble." Tiona giggled.

"H-hey." Tione glared at her sister. The others like Lefiya and Finn chuckling at Tione being talked back to. Aiz herself giving a shadow of a smile.

"..." A good warrior?

"You trash!" His Master shouted at him, throwing a glass cup at him. Shattering on impact. "You're suppose to be a Servant. Yet you fight worse than even my own retainers!"

"Sorry man." Avenger sat on his chair confidently. "But you get what you get, and don't make a feces."

"You...you!" Seems his Master didn't like realizing he got the worse Servant in the game. Too bad for him. These losers shouldn't have tried cheating the system. Should have stuck with a regular class.

"Gah!" His Master then went. "To think, a Servant can honestly be this pathetic!" He roared. "You worthless man! Where did you even learn to fight you failure! Rahhhh!" The man then left, angry that he had been robbed. As he was leaving though, he didn't notice Avenger gripping his fist.

"Learn how to fight huh." he whispered to himself. It's true, all Servants had some knowledge on how to fight. Even those who weren't physical fighters had their fancy spells or traps. But he had none of those. After all, how can a regular person like him possibly know how to fight, when he was only ever tortured his entire life?

Avenger then smirked, a small hint of satisfaction at hearing Olga's words. Heck. Might as well prove his worth in that case. Avenger then taking out his reverse blades and pointing it at the group. A few gazing suspiciously at him, but not making a move to see what it was he wanted. Doubting that he'd actually fight them then and their.

"Hey, if you think I'm weak, then how about a little scuffle," Avenger declared with a grin on his face. Then, his blade pointed to...Aiz! "With you." Now that shocked a few people, uncertain why this man would try picking a fight with Aiz of all people. I mean, she's a Level 5 after all. One of the most powerful adventurers in all of Orario. The literal ace of the Loki Familia. If anything, it'd be foolhardy to even challenge her.

"Don't you know who Aiz-san is!" Lefiya remarked, feeling slightly irritated this man is trying to fight someone of Aiz's calibur. Thinking it was rather rude this man thought he could challenge her friend just like that. Also still upset at the words he told her when they first met. To Avenger, he just shrugged without a care in the world.

"No clue." Avenger responded to her, folding his arms, still holding his weapons. "The twerp and I are new here. So we don't know much." Finn nocked a brow in slight suspicion. Didn't know who Aiz was? Before anybody like Lefiya could protest, Aiz spoke up.

"Very well." Lefiya and Tiona looked at her in surprise. Aiz then holding her own sword out. Raising it to meet Avengers level with her own eyes narrowing at him. "I will fight you if you wish to." Now that made Avenger happy. Olga just looked confused, not knowing who Aiz was either. If she did, she'd be doing everything in her power to stop Avenger from fighting a girl known to take down greater monsters they have faced with ease.

"Sweet." He simply replied, now looking very much forward to it. "So, are we fighting here or somewhere else?"

"T-this can't be happening?" Lefiya said in disbelief. Unsure how to take that this man is attempting to battle one of Orario's strongest warriors. It couldn't even be considered a joke.

"I don't know." Tiona shrugged. "Sounds interesting." Who nows, maybe this guy had some tricks up his sleeve.

"What do you think, Finn?" Riviera asked her leader and friend. While she didn't mind this battle, she pondered what her old friend thought of this challenge. The captain just smiled at her, then looked at the eager group before him.

"Why not." Ws his answer. Thorough before any possible fighting could begin, he raised his hand to get another word in. "But first." He then turned his back away from them, pointing to the deeper tunnels. "How about I take us all to a safer level. It's a bit far, and maybe more advanced for newcomers like you two, but with us around, you'll make it down to safety." Not to mention, maybe see how they respond.

"Why?" Olga tilted her head, a bit confused why they had to go down further.

"Because it'd be better to have a battle with more open space. Not to mention," He then moved past Olga. Doing it so quickly, she didn't even realize until after she heard a screech. Her head turned and there she saw Finn having easily killed a wolf that was actually coming out of the Dungeon wall. He did it so quickie, that for a moment she felt she was witnessing a Servant.

Finn then looked at Olga and ripped the wolf out of the wall with only half its body. The monster then vanishes away into the usual black dust, leaving behind only a single magic stone like every other monster. "It would be nice for our good friends to battle without interruption like these guys."

"That sounds fine to me." Olga brushed her hair back. Putting back on her noble front. "By all eans, take us down if you would sir."

"I'm game." Avenger agreed to it. Already feeling excited.

"Then let's get down." Finn began walking with everyone following. To the underesort of the Dungeon.

Today has certainly been an exciting day. Granted, things were a bit off earlier than he had expected. Like for one thing, what he realized about his Goddess and her new...job. To be honest, that one was quite a shock, knowing full well his Goddess didn't exactly like work unless it was needed. Yet suddenly she's working another job? He doubted he'd have even known until he accidentally stumbled upon her when shopping with Eina.

It still made Bell question why she was even doing such a job in the first place. After all, he was making a decent amount of money in his opinion. Sure nothing rich or anything considering he was only one man, but enough for food and supplies they needed now and then. Yet now she was working a job when he was already supporting them both. Rather suspicious in his opinion.

'Sometimes I just can't understand her.' He thought as he scratched his cheek a little. Oh well, if his Goddess wanted a new job, then so be it. He'll try figuring out the meaning of it though later whenever he has the chance. Why she wanted to work extra shifts for extra cash was definitely a flag. He might not have a clue, but he'll get to the bottom of it eventually.

But for now, putting aside that little fact, he had another goal in mind. Looking up, once again he saw the great tower that covered the Dungeon. A small smile forming on his face as he felt the shivers (the good kind to) whenever he was about to enter.

"Time to enter the Dungeon." He said with joy as he began going to it. Even better, he actually looked like an Adventurer. I mean, just look at him!

The new aror, his special Hestia Knife, the way he kinda did his hair this morning in the mirror. Heck, they say clothes make the man, and he understands why now. Even if it was just self-satisfaction, he certainly felt he could take on anything with his new gear. Now all he needed was a cool skill and he'd be even happier.

'Hehe. Who knows, it'd be awesome if I could get magic.' Bell smiled at the wishful thought as he began heading to the great Dungeon. Ready to begin a new day and start to earn some good old coins, or magic stones in this case. Oh, he could hardly wait. Especially with that new armor of his. As he began walking, he then felt a tug from behind. "Hm?"

"Um, excuse me, mister." A voice, and an eerily familiar one at that.

As he turned, he then saw her.

Giant cloak, big bag, red eyes and cute little fangs with a small skirt and gloves on. Not to mention regular brown hair. The girl then smiled and spoke.

"Hi-ya mister. Can I join you?"

And so it begins. An unexpected meeting, and a revised meeting. How will things turn out, we'll just have to wait and see.

"And we've finally returned for our monthly chapter release." Avenger gave a mighty howdy to the readers from the table. Making a small sandwich on the table and putting in the final ingredients.

"And to answer any questions you all have." Olga bowed to the readers, ready for another quick answer and questions review.

"So let's get started so we can move on with our lives." Avenger grabbed some cards from a nearby pile, each of them holding last week's old review questions He checked them out and saw that there were only a few cards in in the stack that actually had questions. "Huh. Not a lot this time." He said before shrugging. "Oh well, less answers to give." He then pawned them off to Olga while grabbing a soda. "You read them." He told her.

Muttering how he was the Servant, Olga simply did as told. Checking the little cards and reading each f the questions and figuring out how to answer them. Once she finished that, she decided to put them down then looked at the audience.

"First question, we got from trexboy164. Wondering if time is moving the same or differently." Olga looked up and pointed at a summoned screen meant to help answer the question. It showed Avenger and Olga spending little over a week in Orario, doing the things they've been doing since coming to the new world. It then showed Chaldea years later after her supposed death, while also just a bit some time after her dad died. "Time is indeed moving differently between worlds. Where it hasn't been long for us, for Chaldea, quite a while."

"You totally missed all your tests.' Avenger laughed with Olga glaring at him. Even worse, he was right. She missed all her exams for being a Magus. Dad-nab-it!

"The next question is from blacksoul123." Angra says while finally finishing his sandwich. Deciding for a quick bite and chewed on the sandwich, swallowing. "And no, obviously Solomon ain't involved if you read carefully. At the least, not at the moment. If he did, then Roman and Da Vinci wouldn't be into searching Olga as they have more important things to do." Like the Incineration of the World.

Woah boy. And he thought he was a great threat. Looks like the Incineration surpassed his threat level.

" Then we have KAKYOINOVERHEAVEN questioning which Servant might be sent." Olga giggled. "You'll just have to wait to find out."

"And finally, from JustAFool." Angra laughed at the name. "Oh, I'll definitely try to corrupt little Olga given time." Avenger grinned. OLga, stared, then decided she'll do her bes to not get corrupt.

"In any case, that's all the questions we have." Olga then put the cards down. "So until next month."

"See ya then punks." Angra waved out as the screen faded.
