Gradually, the elves finally started focusing on their kin again.

It can be said that through dietary supplements, the new generation finally began to hold their heads high.

However, this also gave rise to a fatal problem—

Even the oldest ones are only 100 years old; keeping an eye on others will make their peers gossip!

But they still like it.

Some male elves even took this opportunity to proclaim, "I don't have a thing for little girls, it's just that the person I like happens to be a little girl."

Although Olivia wanted to retort, a 100-year-old little girl would be laughed at in the human realm.

Of course, because of that ridiculous internal nonsense among elves, there's also some influence among the half-elves.

"But this has nothing to do with Sister Lumi; she's always lived like a human, eating meat when she should, and the lack of a figure is entirely due to having no talent!"

duang~

A critical strike sound rang out.

Little Swan, clutching his forehead, lay on the table and said miserably:

"Lumi, you hit me again!"

Lumi turned her head and said:

"I just felt you were thinking something very rude just now."

...

Amidst the joking and laughter, everyone finally geared up, ready to head to Central Avenue.

Ali prepared the Spiritual Impact Sealing Sphere.

Olivia prepared the Spirit Storm Scroll.

Grace prepared a large amount of Holy Water, as well as five types of divine arts to counter the undead.

As for Louis…

Louis didn't need to prepare anything.

Activating the [Sin Dragon Armament: Liberation Form], holding the Transition Blade, he didn't need any other means.

Fully armed, they found the weak passage to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm on Central Avenue.

One after another, they entered.

...

One day later.

Everyone finally stopped, looking at each other and saying:

"Is this mission considered complete?"

They looked at one another, unable to give a precise answer.

They didn't know which ghost was causing unrest among the Central Avenue residents.

The only thing they could do was eliminate all magic creatures associated with the undead around the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm.

Louis discovered many strange creatures among them.

For example, the level 6 Pink Skeleton.

They possessed two special Fallen Shadow magic spells.

One called [Illusion Vision], as the name suggests, creates indescribable hallucinations.

The other called [Withering], causing those affected by the spell to feel old.

Through Limuru, both spells were refined to a high degree.

But Louis felt the situation was getting worse.

Just imagine.

[Unjust Death] from the Unjustly Deceased Water Ghost can drag people underwater, and if there's no water around, it creates a sensation of drowning.

[Sweet Poison] from the Fallen Shadow Demon Bee can release an enticingly sweet floral scent and then pierce the opponent with a sting.

[Illusion Vision] from the Pink Skeleton can create indescribable illusion scenarios. [Withering] gives a feeling of being drained dry like an old man.

Plus, the list of succubus-type spells includes [Grease Technique], [Toxin Synthesis (Aphrodisiac, Illusion, Paralysis)].

Succubus bloodline supernatural ability: [Energy Absorption].

Soul Mage ability: [Fascination Technique].

—Louis, you still say you're not a walking hormone!

Every trick can be played!

Mmm, the above accusations were all made by Little Swan against Louis.

To this, Louis responded:

"Rest assured, Little Olivia, none of these things concern you; it's baseless talk (not a typo)."

Then Little Swan jumped even more fiercely.

Louis and his party set off on their return journey.

No choice; there are only so many Fallen Shadow creatures wandering around the perimeter.

Louis even shook out their eggs, so theoretically, if there was indeed a ghost in Central Avenue, it should have been cleaned out by these creatures by now, right?

Just upon returning to the Adventurer Guild, an unexpected incident happened.

...

[Location: Tino City·Adventurer Guild]

"Huh?"

Ali slammed Hans's desk heavily:

"You're saying the mission isn't finished yet?"

President Hans looked sadly at his desk, which had been dented by the slap, and said mournfully:

"Dear, can you blame me for this?"

"The message from the Imperial Palace says the unknown ghost still hasn't been dealt with."

Ali took a deep breath:

"Hans, I'm not threatening you, but you need to understand one thing; we're adventurers, here to complete tasks and earn money."

"A task that can't specify which ghost specifically needs handling, and it's a designated mission, doesn't fit the adventurer's code."

"We're adventurers, not detectives; I just want to know one thing, who do we kill, where is she? How do we prove we killed her?"

Cold sweat was about to drop from Hans's face:

"This issue was sent over from the royal family; I don't know the details either!"

"Then go ask!" Ali said.

President Hans coughed and finally took another look at them and said:

"It's not impossible for me to communicate with the royal family, however..."

"Hmm?" Ali squinted her eyes.

Hans rubbed his head and laughed, saying:

"Don't show such wary expressions; it's beneficial for you too..."

Ali snorted coldly: "Speak."

President Hans smiled and said:

"This year's Title Adventurer Competition, are you interested in participating? No pressure."

Louis glanced at him.

As everyone knows, saying no pressure usually means there's a lot involved.

But Ali thought for a moment and said:

"All right, I agree; I planned to head there anyway."

Hearing this, President Hans was delighted:

"Fine, then I'll sacrifice this skin of mine and ask the royal family about the situation."

But he soon realized:

"Wait, wouldn't it be more convenient for your family to ask?"

Ali smiled and said:

"Of course, we're more convenient, but I'm afraid of disturbing the emperor's pleasure."

Hans sighed in frustration:

"Fine, fine, I'll go ask, but if they can't give a specific answer, don't blame me."
