Chapter 182 - Inexistence. (Patreon)

So, we explored the lower floors together. I don't have much to say about it. It was enjoyable even though I didn't do anything for most of our exploration. It was fun to watch Bell and Welf.

Bell was powerful, just as I expected, unlike Welf, who wasn't very strong.

Because of Bell, I only had to interfere once during the exploration. That was when many monsters appeared while we were on the 24th floor. It was perilous.

However, as my Status was freakishly high, I dealt with them all easily. I used the dragon sword, but the dragon did nothing to help me. He's useless at the moment.

At times, it tried to attack, but it never did enough damage to help.

So, I didn't keep the dragon "out" of the sword.

"It was a lot of fun. What are you going to do now, Luan? Don't you want to get something to eat?"

We were already outside the dungeon. Bell and Welf were preparing to leave.

"I have something to do at the moment. You can go without me." I waved to them and walked away.

Bell and Welf disappeared into the nearby crowd soon after.

'All right, I've wasted a lot of time with them. I should go after Hedin now. I don't know where he is. I'll need some information.' He is probably at the Freya Familia mansion, but I'm not sure.

I walked quickly through the streets toward where Freya Familia's house was. It was a large, beautiful mansion with many structures. The mansion was like a temple.

When I got close to the mansion, I opened the map.

However, when I opened it, it was completely blank. Nothing appeared.

"I thought my map would work anywhere after what happened when I went to visit Ishtar, but I was wrong. It will probably only work when I'm inside." So, I opened the system and the Goddess store.

I collected many points because of the night I spent with Hestia. It was enough to buy a few things.

I looked for a potion or artifact that could hide my presence or make me invisible. It is the only type of thing I can get here since they didn't sell skills.

Luckily, I found an interesting potion.

'I don't think anyone can create potions like that. It must be something unique to the system.'

[ Potion of Inexistence ]

Effect - Completely erase your existence.

Duration - 10 minutes

"A potion like that is scary. Erase existence? It's scary to take something like that."

It was such a powerful potion that it was expensive. I had to pay 500 points.

After buying it, I stared at the bottle for a few seconds before plucking up the courage to drink all the liquid inside. I was scared about what would happen to me, but I shouldn't overthink it.

"Hm? Nothing's changed..."

Even though a few seconds had passed, nothing had changed.

"I have to do a test before I go in there; I'm not sure it's working."

A few people were passing by. One of them was a beautiful woman with a big ass that felt quite soft to the touch. She was standing next to a man who seemed to be her boyfriend.

I put a macabre smile on my face and approached the woman from behind.

I then grabbed her ass as hard as I could. When I did, the woman loudly screamed, startling the man beside her. I quickly let go of her and stood there, right behind her. But... it was working.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly scream?" The man asked, startled.

"What do you mean, 'What happened'? You just squeezed my ass, you pervert!" The woman slapped the man, and he didn't react.

Then he panicked.

The way I squeezed her ass, there was no way that man could have done it. But she accused him of doing it because he was the only person close to her.

"They're not boyfriend and girlfriend after all..." They were probably still getting to know each other. Sorry, man, I didn't mean to ruin your date.

After confirming that the potion was working, I snuck into the Freya Familia house in search of Hedin. I wanted to kill him as quickly as possible and without being discovered, but I don't know if that will be possible.

Hedin is strong. He will not be killed without a fight. However, with this potion, even if he tries to fight, he won't know where I am. If the potion works well, my entire existence has been erased.

Even with his heightened senses and magic, I wouldn't be discovered.

"All right, I've never seen this interior in the anime before, and the descriptions weren't that good. It's quite different from what I imagined." The interior was much cleaner than I expected. I expected it to be a very decorated place.

There were so many rooms and halls...

Then I remembered the map. Fortunately, just like when I went to the Ishtar Familia's house, I could open the map and see all the rooms inside the Freya Familia's house. 'Unfortunately, I can't see where the people are.'

But that wasn't necessary. My senses had become very good. Just walking up to the door of a room was enough for me to detect whether anyone was inside.

'There aren't many people here.' And most of the people are characters I don't care about. Hedin's not here.

'Did he leave to go somewhere? Damn, the potion won't last long...'

I hurried my steps and continued my search until I heard a man's voice. It was one of the last rooms.

It was a man and a woman.

'I don't remember those voices...' I stood in front of the door and listened to the conversation.
