Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 28: The Red Dragon's Tomb

"Pat...pat..."

Luo Qixi held a lantern in one hand and gripped her staff tightly in the other. Although no one had ever explored the maze before, she knew very well what was most important in exploring it.

One is a map... I have the information provided by the Adventurers' Guild, so there are no problems... The other is a light source. As a mage, I am not good at close-range combat and need to be able to detect monsters from a certain distance.

Fortunately, most monsters don't pay attention to concealing their presence, so not long after entering the maze, Loki noticed the commotion coming from ahead.

"..."

She raised her staff and aimed it at the corner of the narrow cave in front of her; the tip of the Silver Moon Tsunami staff lit up with a faint light.

As the magic gathered, she heard the screech of a monster coming from around the corner.

Damn it... I forgot that those monsters are most sensitive to magic!

Without time to think, Loki flicked her staff.

"Frost Strike!"

Having mastered the art of shortening incantations, Loki can now unleash any non-sacred-level magic with just a short incantation.

"Buzz!"

An ice spike formed at the tip of the staff and shot out at high speed, striking the monster that had rushed around the corner.

Before Luo Qixi could even breathe a sigh of relief after seeing it fall, she heard a series of noises.

It was obvious that the monsters in the vicinity sensed the magic he had released; the gathered magical power was as dazzling to these labyrinth monsters as a light in the darkness.

"Frost Strike!"

"Water cannon!"

Seeing the charging monsters, Loki didn't hesitate at all. Her staff continuously accumulated magic power and then unleashed magic. In an instant, magic rained down on the monsters, killing them one by one and turning them into fragments.

"call……"

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Luo Qixi looked at the monsters lying on the ground and felt a sense of satisfaction...

Isn't this easy?

The monster horde that would have been a major headache in the past was now dealt with with ease, and Loki's magic power wasn't even depleted much... only thirty percent of it.

Sure enough... she had become stronger... Of course, the staff the teacher had given her also played a part... Luo Qixi looked at the blue-silver staff in her hand and pursed her lips.

After taking some usable materials from these monsters, Loki continued down to the next level.

She had just attracted almost all the monsters on this floor, so she didn't encounter any more monsters until she reached the stairs to the next floor.

Perhaps this is a suitable method for solo adventures? As long as you can take them all out at once, you won't have to worry about being surrounded or anything?

Stepping down to the next floor, Luo Qixi nodded in satisfaction.

At this rate... it won't be long before I can completely conquer the entire maze!

Clearly, even the first few levels of the A-level maze were not too difficult for Luo Qixi, especially with a map in hand. She could easily avoid the narrower mazes and the trap-filled alleys, exploring the maze at a very fast speed.

However, the Red Dragon's Tomb Labyrinth must have been untouched for a long time... Loki didn't see the corpses of other adventurers that she often saw during her adventures, nor any signs of battle.

It was as if the place had been covered in snow, leaving nothing behind except the sounds of monsters tearing and biting.

"Frost Strike!"

Loki swung her staff, striking the giant basilisk on the head, then immediately reversed the staff tip to aim at her feet.

"Earthen wall!"

An earthen wall rose up around the area, blocking the basilisk's attack.

Immediately afterward, a slight crack appeared in the earthen wall, and Lokishi extended her staff and swung it.

Another ice spike was fired, hitting the basilisk precisely in the abdomen, causing it to let out a scream.

Success!

Luo Qixi clenched her fist and watched the monster in front of her fall with satisfaction... Although it was indeed stronger than the monsters in the B-rank dungeon, it was nothing to her now.

The guardian of the fifth floor was easily defeated by Loki, who had initially prepared for a long battle...

Luo Qixi looked at the magic crystal she had pulled from the basilisk, then nodded with a rather smug expression.

If my teacher saw me now, they would be very surprised!

Not only teachers, but even parents saw it...

Thinking of this, Luo Qixi's slightly excited expression suddenly dimmed again... No, no... They would never want to see her again... After all, she had only brought them misfortune.

Luo Qixi patted her face and shook her head. As her braids swung behind her head, her slightly depressed mood eased a little.

I'm the Water Saint! How can I be so down?! I'm going to conquer the dungeon quickly and prove myself!

Loki gripped her staff tightly and continued walking downhill.

Luo Qixi conquered the sixth and seventh floors in the same way. Even though the difficulty was much higher than the first five floors, Luo Qixi felt that she could still handle it...

As she reached the seventh floor and began descending the stairs, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to rest for a moment.

I just faced an attack from seven or eight monsters at once. If I hadn't been lucky and the corridor behind me was narrow, I might have been injured.

No… what am I saying? I'm all alone… it would be extremely dangerous if I were injured…

Luo Qixi pursed her lips wearily, then slowly sat down against the wall.

I really need to rest... I don't even know what time it is now. I've used up most of my magic power, and I didn't get a good night's rest last night...

Luo Qixi even felt a little drowsy...

No, no! She quickly created a splash of water and poured it on her face.

You can't fall asleep... For a solo adventurer, it would be disastrous if a monster came while you were asleep.

Loki held her staff and closed one eye slightly, using this method to rest.

But for Loki, who may have been fighting all night, resting in this way might be a bit... difficult... especially since after you close one eye, the other eye subconsciously wants to close as well.

"Well……"

"what!"

Loki, who had nearly fallen, was jolted awake. She gripped her staff and looked around.

Thankfully... nothing happened... Was I just asleep?

No... I can't fall asleep...

Luo Qixi patted her face, put the package on the ground, and then took out some food from it.

If I get some nutrition, I might not be so sleepy... Thinking this, Luo Qixi took out a piece of bread and started eating.

Maybe I should try the B-rank dungeon... After all, B-rank dungeons are generally easier and shallower... maybe only about ten floors... I can probably conquer it if I grit my teeth...

Instead of not even halfway through the current progress...

No, no, no... I can definitely do it, I just didn't get enough rest last night... Luo Qixi paced back and forth a few times while holding the bread, then patted her face.

Being tired is only temporary; you just need to get through it... Why don't I take this time to walk around and see how this maze is structured?

Although it's not a very interesting thing, it's much better than sitting there and falling asleep, isn't it?

Luo Qixi walked to the bottom of the stairs and glanced at them briefly.

There was no sign of monsters inside... Should I rest on the stairs for a while?

Just as she was thinking this, Luo Qixi suddenly felt that the feel of her boots was a little strange.

"Um?"

She looked down and suddenly realized that she was standing on a magic circle.

This is... a teleportation trap?!
