After hearing that Orsted was fighting a Level 6 monster for so long without falling, the adventurers were amazed.

They wanted to witness this epic scene, straight out of heroic tales.

With eager hearts, they donned concealment items and followed Falgar's group quietly toward the battlefield.

The closer they got, the stronger the battle's tremors felt.

Those active on the 24th floor had faced or seen Goliath fought in Rivira. The fluctuations ahead dwarfed Goliath's.

This was the work of a High Class adventurer—Level 5 or 6, they couldn't judge from Falgar's words alone without seeing.

Some had even witnessed the 27th floor's Amphisbaena battle.

Yet, these tremors didn't confirm the monster surpassed Amphisbaena.

Soon, they reached the battlefield.

Two fights unfolded—one large, one small.

The smaller was Asfi versus the Creature, his identity exposed.

No one recognized him, though.

Only Falgar and Lulune paid attention to Asfi's fight, rushing to aid her.

The rest were drawn to the massive Corrupted Viola.

Its colossal body and tentacles smashed craters and gullies with each strike.

Such destructive power was unimaginable.

One tentacle could sweep them all away.

An adventurer's face paled, then flushed with fear and excitement.

"That's a Level 6 monster!" he exclaimed. "I saw Ganesha's Familia fight Amphisbaena. It couldn't cause this destruction!"

He wasn't part of Ganesha's Familia but had watched their battle from afar.

Amphisbaena was strong, but not this devastating. It would fall quickly to this monster.

His words carried weight, having seen Amphisbaena's strength, and he had no reason to lie.

This monster was truly Level 6.

Adventurers' eyes glazed, then burned with awe. Seeing a Level 6 monster, akin to Udaeus, was a rare thrill.

From their cliff vantage, they saw Orsted dodging and striking the Corrupted Viola.

"Amazing! He severed a massive tentacle in one strike!" an adventurer gasped.

The tentacles' destructive power required Level 5 strength to block, yet Orsted did so effortlessly, countering with a clean cut.

This confirmed his status.

They'd pegged him at Level 4 during the war game, underestimating him.

Orsted was at least Level 5, possibly Level 6.

Curiosity surged.

How did a rookie adventurer gain such power in just over a month?

But their focus was the battle.

Watching Orsted fight, they widened their eyes, not wanting to miss a moment.

A Level 6 battle offered invaluable lessons.

Many admired Orsted's strength and journey, worshipping the strong as was this world's rule.

They hoped he'd triumph.

Some grumbled inwardly—why wasn't Hestia familia recruiting? They'd join in a heartbeat.

Unaware of this, Orsted poured his focus into the Corrupted Viola, ignoring the onlookers.

His armor was ruined, clothes bloodied and tattered, but no wounds remained, thanks to Avalon.

He'd severed over a dozen tentacles, leaving just over ten still lashing.

If he maintained this pace, victory was certain.

But a question gnawed at him.

'Why did the Jewel Fetus target me instead of Ais after possessing the Viola?'
