Chapter 783 - Preparation (1/2)

”We… should go down. Isn't that our objective to begin with?” Theo smiled.

”Yeah, I know that. But should we use our precious time to level up instead of searching for nothing?” Maya shook her head. ”This is just wasting our time.”

”Ehm, I don't think so.” Theo shook his head with a serious expression. ”For me, I simply want to finish my job. I'm someone with integrity, you see.”

”…” Maya rolled her eyes. ”I believe you just want to waste your time.”

”Really? That should be the last thing in your mind. Have you ever seen me wasting my time? In fact, if I had wasted my time, I wondered how I could reach this spot in a short period…”

”Fine, fine. Mr. Smartass.” She sighed. ”Anyway, I'm going to become a Supreme Rank tomorrow. Let's go back to the surface, shall we?”

”I don't have any objections.” Agata nodded in agreement.

”Well… Sure.” Theo shrugged.

It didn't take too long for them to reach the surface and head back to the facility.

As soon as they returned, they were greeted by Ava.

”Welcome back.”

”Ava. Shouldn't you be resting?” Theo raised his eyebrows.

”No. I have fully recovered. It seems the previous evolution has sped up my recovery,” Ava answered with a smile.

”I see. That's great.” Theo felt relieved and said, ”So, you're good to go with us tomorrow?”

”Yes.” Ava nodded. ”I truly want to fight that person…”

She punched the air a few times, feeling fired up because she also heard the conversation that Theo had with the shadow. She learned that there was a powerful existence underneath the 30th floor, so she had been preparing herself.

”You couldn't fight that creature alone, but it would be different with me. I have reached the Supreme Rank. Our chance will be better. Isn't that the reason why you have been holding back in the past week?” Ava asked.

”Ehm, what is this all about?” Maya and Agata were perplexed by their conversation.

Theo scratched the back of his head while making a weird smile.

”Oh, you haven't told them yet? I thought since it's something that is bound to happen, you have told them.” Ava blinked her eyes a few times before apologizing. ”Sorry.”

”It's fine. I'm planning to tell them soon anyway.” Theo sighed.

”What are you talking about?” Maya and Agata asked, staring at him. They never thought Theo was hiding something about the Moniac Dungeon from them.

”My plan is to have Maya and Agata become Supreme Rank Experts first. This way, our chances will be higher.” Theo explained.

”I see. No wonder.” Ava nodded in understanding.
