Chapter 9

28th Floor - "Roah's Inn"

Kail and his party faced a bit of a tough battle against the 30th Floor Lord, the Orc Lord, but they arrived at the 28th floor without any major issues. They entered the city of "Cathar" within the dungeon and slipped into the most luxurious inn, "Roah's Inn."

The opulent interior, lavishly decorated with magic stones, stood out even in the city of Cathar, radiating a brilliant light.

In the dungeon, where the release of all desires—women, food, murder—is allowed, and where moral and gentlemanly conduct do not determine one's status, here, 'power' is the only justice.

In short, it's not an exaggeration to say that everything is decided by the adventurer's rank.

When Alain placed the massive magic stone of the 45th Floor Lord, the Cyclops, with a thud at the reception of "Roah's Inn," everyone inevitably gasped.

"It's a 'Dual Wielder'..."

"What's with the size of that magic stone..."

"Could it be..."

Alain raised his voice in the buzzing inn.

"This is the magic stone of the 45th Floor Lord!! Do you know what this means!!!"

Alain, with a delighted expression, boasted about the party's 'power.' It was simple, but the effect was immeasurable.

"Seriously...?"

"You did it..."

"That means..."

Kail smiled thinly as the inn buzzed even more.

"It's a 'Record-Breaking' achievement..."

One of the guests whispered, and cheers began to rise.

"Awesome!! The 'Dual Wielder' did it!!"

"Three years!! That's monster-like strength!!"

"Wow!! Awesome!! What a party!!"

"A record-breaking S-rank!!"

Cheers called for more cheers, and rumors spread throughout the city of Cathar.

(Hehe. Worship me more! I am the 'strongest'...)

Kail felt good about the scene. He had discarded the 'baggage' and was ready to reach even greater heights.

"Congratulations, 'Dual Wielders.' I will lead you to the best room in this inn."

The innkeeper, a former S-rank adventurer, the 'Foxwoman Roana,' bowed politely. To run an inn in such a place, one must have the corresponding 'power,' and Roana's strength was well-known.

"Yeah. Bring us the best food and wine."

"Hey! Roah! Girls too, right?"

"Jack! Be moderate!"

Roana chuckled, "Understood," and bowed again. She opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Four guests?"

"Yeah."

"Understood..."

Roana, without a single eyebrow raised, proceeded with the preparations.

The room they were led to was spacious, and the decorations were all top-notch.

"Did you see that? The faces of those low-level adventurers just now!"

"Sure enough, when you become S-rank, everyone looks at you differently! They're all scared!"

"Hehe. You can't be satisfied with just this! Hey, Kail!"

"Yeah. From now on, that incompetent one won't hold us back... We'll quickly reach SSS and then just need to get the 'Ultimate Dream.'"

"Let's let our hair down today!!"

"Right! Reaching S-rank in three years, I've never heard of such a thing!"

Kail laughed at Alain and Jack's words but inwardly sneered,

(These incompetents, they're just a hindrance... Once we officially advance in the guild, they'll be useless.)

But he thought, today, it's fine to let loose, and he smiled, thinking about finally embracing a woman.

He washed away the monster's blood and sweat in the bath, savoring the dishes brought one after another. Surrounded by beautiful women, he got drunk on fine wine.

(This is the essence of being an adventurer, Luke.)

Kail inwardly spat at Luke, who always talked about ethics and morals. He was glad there were no annoying flies around.

The women who approached him, the luxurious food, the delicious wine.

"Perfect..."

Kail whispered, unheard by anyone, as he held a woman named An, who was licking his neck, and laughed at the wild behavior of Alain and Jack.

"Kail. Are you going to 'do it' tonight?"

An whispered in his ear.

"Yeah. You're the prettiest one here..."

Kail answered indifferently, but An blushed and pressed her chest against Kail's arm.

"Excuse me."

A woman brought wine, and Kail smiled.

"Hey, An. Move. I'm going with her tonight."

"Aw! Kail, I'm already 'in the mood'!"

"I'll take you again. Just wait. If I feel like it, I'll take you later."

"Promise?!"

An pouted but quickly went to her bed. Kail stood up and called out to the woman who brought the wine.

"Sleep with me tonight."

The woman looked around, confused.

"I am just a server... I cannot..."

"Shut up... You have no choice."

"..."

"Come..."

Kail took the woman's hand and led her to the bedroom. He didn't care about her frightened and anxious expression, and he satisfied his desires.

(What a perfect night...)

Without even glancing at the woman who ran away, Kail sighed and looked down at the city of Cathar from the window.

Falling onto the bed, he saw his dual swords and the slightly damaged, dirty armor.

"Hehe. Maybe I'll just throw away this armor..."

Thinking of Luke's desperate face, he couldn't suppress his laughter.

He was about to fall asleep, but feeling even better, Kail chuckled and headed to An's bed.

The best night for the 'Dual Wielder' party ended like this. They didn't know that this would be the last night they would feel so good...
