“I initially tried to attack it with magic, but my magic was directly deflected... That monster easily broke through our lines, and we could only flee with the group of adventurers.”
“We fled desperately, escaping to the seventeenth floor, only to enter a room with only one entrance and exit... and then...”
Weimiya quietly listened to her account, then sighed softly: “My condolences.”
Now, behind this title, there is one more dim black star.
After returning to the surface, Weimiya and the others hadn't gone far before they encountered an anxiously waiting figure at the exit of Babel Tower's underground plaza—the male deity, Dionysus.
Dionysus is quite famous in the city due to his handsome appearance and temperament, and is admired by many young women.
Although his Familia has a adventurer and several upper-level adventurers, making them a mainstay of the city, the Dionysus Familia still appears unremarkable.
Dionysus's handsome face was very pale at the moment. Seeing the deity in this state at the entrance of the dungeon, it was easy to imagine the reason.
“Lord Dionysus.”
The girl's steps were light and slow, and she held a black box in her hands, containing the belongings of several deceased Familia members.
His voice seemed to contain endless tenderness, trying his best to soothe the heartbroken girl.
Seeing this scene, anyone would think that this deity must treat his Familia members with extreme gentleness.
His face was apologetic, and his voice conveyed a heavy emotion: “I am truly saddened today and cannot say much. Afterwards, I will definitely visit in person to formally express my gratitude to you.”
Dionysus nodded slightly, once again expressing his gratitude to Weimiya and the others, then slowly left with Fielvis.
Weimiya silently watched Fielvis's figure, his gaze lingering on the iron box in her hand containing the belongings of Dionysus Familia's companions.
The box containing the deceased's belongings was casually thrown aside by the handsome god like a piece of trash, making a dull thud.
Fielvis said in a monotonous voice, while Dionysus chuckled:
“That doesn't matter, it's just an experiment anyway.”
The god still asked in his usual gentle tone, but his golden eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a hint of dangerous light. The god's might made the atmosphere in the entire room become strange and oppressive.
Dionysus chuckled: “Indeed, at least after seeing it with my own eyes, I can confirm—the name 'Demon King' is truly well-deserved, not a misnomer at all.”
Dionysus shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “No, it can't be done. In the Lower World, I cannot use divine power, and the 'Divine Wine' made solely with my divine authority cannot control such an adventurer.”
Moreover, more importantly, is that completely 'heterogeneous' spirit and soul.
[Elf Hunter], [Amazon Owner]
“A banshee… most people might avoid her at all costs, but for someone like him, such an identity might be even more attractive.”
Aula Molier, she is Dionysus's vice-captain, titled [Silver Cup], Level , and like Fielvis, is an elf adventurer.
“There is no need to involve her.”
Dionysus smiled understandingly.
Then, his gaze carried a hint of chilling curiosity:
His voice was still gentle, but his words were chilling: “Let me think—an elf? A half-elf? Or… a monster? A half-monster?”
The god's tone was without malice, seemingly only out of pure curiosity.
Fielvis nodded, without objection.
“It's just acting.”
However, when she thought of Weimiya's name, her ankle began to throb faintly, the place where he had caressed and massaged.
“Don't rush, just slowly cultivate a relationship with that 'Demon King' adult, there is still plenty of time.”

Chapter 191: The Banshee's “Love”
This is the drop from that strengthened mantis monster. Using this as material should be able to forge quite sharp swords.
Not far away, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and after a moment, a familiar voice sounded: “Sorry, I kept you waiting.”
“We meet again, [Holy Sword User] adult.”
Eina said softly, her eyes carrying professional respect.
Eina nodded, adjusting her wording slightly: “Then, Mr. Weimiya.”
Eina took the document and flipped through a few pages.
“Another new type of strengthened species?”
She said subconsciously.
Eina closed the document in her hand and explained softly: “Including your report this time, it's the fourth case in the last two months. They are all monsters that, according to common sense, should not produce strengthened species. They do not conform to the known laws of monster evolution, but they appear in different regions, and they are all extremely powerful.”
Many monsters died in battle, and the dropped magic stones remained in place. After being swallowed by other monsters, they gave rise to these strengthened species.
Weimiya nodded lightly. After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked: “By the way, Miss Eina, are you familiar with the Dionysus Familia, and the [Maenads]?”
Dionysus said sincerely, his eyes full of gratitude.
Dionysus's gift did not have any special power, it was just a bottle of precious wine—he didn't want to expose his authority in front of Weimiya, who was highly likely immune to his Divine Wine's control.
Hephaestus picked up the wine bottle, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes, and said with a smile: “Oh my, Dionysus, the wine you brewed is truly nostalgic. The last time I tasted it was in the Celestial Realm.”
Dionysus nodded in response, his voice gentle: “Yes, for us gods who possess eternal and empty lives, the children of the Lower World are indeed the most precious treasures.”
Dionysus waved his hand gently, signaling the two elf girls behind him to step forward: “Fielvis, Aula.”
Fielvis walked up to Weimiya and said softly: “Thank you.”
However, Aula, who was standing aside, appeared a little uneasy, a hint of fear appearing on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she trembled in a low voice: “E, Elf Killer…”
Under Dionysus's earnest request, Aula obediently apologized to Weimiya: “I'm sorry, Mr. Weimiya.”
Fielvis hesitated slightly, then said in a low voice: “Mr. Weimiya, I… I would like to invite you to dinner alone, is that okay?”
The goddess secretly gave Weimiya a thumbs up.
Weimiya smiled helplessly and turned to look at Fielvis. Although the girl's face carried a hint of shyness, her eyes still revealed a serious energy.
“Wow, has the [Elf Killer] acquired a new elf?”
Philvis's voice gradually lowered, as if still recalling that feeling of helplessness at the time.
Although the mantis monster's movement speed wasn't particularly fast, it also wasn't something that adventurers below could easily escape from. In the end, the monster still caught up with them.
Philvis's voice paused. She didn't need to continue, because what happened next was exactly what Wei Gong and the others had witnessed firsthand.
【Banshee】— This was Philvis's title. The teams she participated in were repeatedly wiped out, and she was the only elf who survived.
Dionysus, the god of wine in ancient Greek mythology, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.
This god had an extremely handsome appearance, with golden hair that shimmered slightly in the sunlight, appearing noble and elegant.
In stark contrast to the god's well-known reputation, Dionysus's Familia had not achieved any remarkable feats in the Dungeon.
Apart from the captain's bad reputation as the 【Banshee】, they had not left a deep impression on anyone.
He noticed that the number of his Falna had decreased, which meant that someone from this god's Familia had died in the Dungeon.
Philvis walked forward in a low voice. Although she tried to remain calm, her voice still carried a suppressed sob.
When Dionysus saw her, his eyes were filled with complex emotions. Although his expression was sad, he still forced a smile and made his voice as gentle as possible: "It's okay, Philvis, let's go back and talk."
Then, Dionysus looked up at Wei Gong and the others, took a deep breath, and actually bowed directly to them, his tone sincere: "Thank you for saving Philvis!"
Anya muttered softly from the side: "That aloof female elf's god is a good person."
Philvis still held the black iron box tightly in her hands, as if it was the only memory related to her companions that she could bring back.
Inside the Dionysus Familia's residence.
"Bang—"
After a moment of silence, Philvis opened her mouth:
"Crystal Mantis... the upper limit of this type of insect monster is too low, even inferior to Hellhounds. Even if you feed it magic stones from monsters, it can only grow to at most."
He said, then changed the subject: "...How did it feel? The first encounter with 【Sword Saint (Saber)】", no, should I say 'Sword Demon'."
"Very strong."
Philvis responded softly: "Frightening."
"That man's 'distortion' is a little scary even to a god like me."
Philvis's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in a low voice: "Should we use 'God's Wine' to control him?"
Wei Gong's level was . After two level advancements, his body's toughness had long surpassed that of lower-level adventurers, and even gods with sealed divine power could not compare.
"But fortunately, this 'Demon Lord's' weakness is still very obvious... as a man."
...These nicknames were not obtained for no reason.
Dionysus stood up, walked closer to Philvis, and examined the girl's pale and delicate face.
The god smiled and said: "Then, Philvis, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need it, Aura can also be at your disposal."
However, in Dionysus's mouth, the girl who admired him so much seemed to be just a useful tool.
Philvis said softly.
"Aura hates you very much, and you're still thinking of her so much... Well, if you don't want to, forget it."
"Oh, by the way, if you have the chance, why not try... with him. I want to know, can you still conceive life now, and what will you give birth to?"
Therefore, it was even more terrifying.
"If you wish... I understand."
The girl thought to herself.
"Besides the god Dionysus, no one will love someone as tainted as me..."
The pain that went deep into her bones made Philvis feel like she was still alive.
Dionysus chuckled: "The moment of ending has not yet arrived."
In the Adventurers' Guild, Wei Gong quietly examined the deep red "blade" in his hand. This blade had both the texture of crystal and metal, as if it was a mixture of two materials.
Wei Gong looked up and saw the half-elf guild staff member, Eina Tulle, rushing over with a stack of documents. She stopped breathlessly and gave him an apologetic smile.
Wei Gong shook his head and responded with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name."
Wei Gong nodded slightly, then handed over the document in his hand: "I'm here to submit information about the new enhanced species."
Wei Gong: "Again?"
The half-elf girl leaned closer and said to Wei Gong in a low voice: "The Guild speculates that these enhanced species may be a byproduct of the previous Dungeon riot..."
The Guild speculates that the appearance of these enhanced species is due to monsters from the Lower and Deep Levels attempting to rush to the surface during the riot, resulting in fierce conflicts with monsters from the Middle and Upper Levels.
This speculation has a certain degree of validity.
"In any case, thank you very much for submitting the information. We will provide corresponding rewards based on the importance of the information."
Miss Philvis?"
"I am really grateful for your help. I can't imagine what I would do if Philvis didn't come back."
He handed over a bottle of exquisitely packaged wine: "Please accept these gifts. This is wine that I brewed myself. Although I didn't use divine power and authority, I still have some confidence in my brewing skills."
Moreover, Hephaestus was very familiar with his God's Wine, and he couldn't do any tricks in front of her.
Hearing this, Dionysus also showed a smile. The two gods seemed to have known each other since they were in Heaven.
Hephaestus looked at Dionysus and said with a bit of emotion: "Dionysus, it seems that you have also been changed a lot by the children of the Lower World."
His exclamation came from the bottom of his heart.
Two elves responded and stepped forward. Philvis still maintained her usual calmness and aloofness, while Aura, who was standing next to her, was a beautiful elf with rare pure white hair. The two were the captain and vice-captain of the Dionysus Familia, respectively.
"That's rude, Aura."
Dionysus shook his head helplessly, then gently tapped Aura's head. Although his tone was gentle, there was a hint of sternness in his expression.
After formally thanking him, Dionysus took the initiative to say goodbye, but he only took Aura as a bodyguard and left Philvis behind.
Before Wei Gong could respond, the goddess Hephaestus preemptively agreed for him, laughing cheerfully at Philvis: "Of course!"
When Wei Gong and Philvis were walking together on the street, the elf girls around them whispered.
