The moment Myna and Sylphy entered the boss's room, she aimed at the boss and charged at him as if she had a great enmity with him. Not once did she complain like Aisha, who had been used as a road cleaner by her Lord husband. Sylphy was indeed a born warrior who enjoyed playing with blood and, in some cases, stinky liquids.
Although I didn't want to steal Sylphy's prey, for the greater good, I had to deal the final blow to this boss Slime before she defeated it. It would be a waste not to take advantage of my valuable skill Probability, to obtain valuable loot, Myne thought as he watched Sylphy and the boss slime engage in a frenzied battle.
Due to the special corrosive liquid that the boss slime secreted, which was harmless to the skin but lethal to clothes, and as it was a racial skill rather than an ability, Myne could do nothing about it nor did he want to.
Because of the boss slime's special corrosive liquid, Sylphy had almost lost her all clothes and was now fighting in a tattered red bra and underwear, and they were also not far from saying goodbye to the world as well.
Here's my chance. Seeing that Sylphy was about to defeat the boss slime, Myne launched two Light Beams from his index finger continuously, creating two small holes in the boss slime's head, ending its wretched life.
At the same time the Light beam struck, Myne saw Sylphy using [Martial Art: Sharpness Sword].
And it died without Sylphy noticing my intervention. Good for me, no need to explain anything to Sylphy. Myne thought, nodding his head in satisfaction, pleased with Sylphy's performance both in bed and on the battlefield.
"How's that, Myne? I defeated the boss monster single-handedly!" Sylphy exclaimed, throwing out her now slightly bigger chest with pride, as she called out to Myne.
"You were really cool! I was astonished by your swordsmanship in battle. If we weren't already married, I might have already started planning how to seduce you," Myne jokingly said as he approached Sylphy. First, without caring about his clothes' state, he embraced her and gave her a deep, passionate kiss, just as he had done with Aisha last time.
Then Sylphy with a stunned and excited expression panting heavily, he cleaned the stinky substance off her body with his skill and handed her a fresh set of undergarments and clothes.
"Hehe, that was quite sudden, but I liked it," Sylphy happily accepted the clothes from Myne and started to put them on, not before indulging in another round of passionate kissing.
"Look!" Exclaiming, Sylphy, who had already put on her new clothes, held up the boss loot, "Exusia Oil" and "Exusia Cape" in both hands and showed them to Myne, her eyes sparkling. Beauty products were always a woman's first love, and that saying also applied to the former but still sufficiently rich princess.
Un, Probability skill probably had a hand in this, right? With this, now I have two Exusia Capes. I wonder if Aisha and Sylphy would like to wear them! They definitely look cute in them, Myne pondered while rubbing his chin.

"Sylphy, honey, since you defeated the boss, you should take both of them. But remember to share and use the oil with Aisha, okay?" Myne said dotingly with a smile.
"Yeah, I understand!" Sylphy obediently nodded her head and put away the Exusia oil, draping the cape over her shoulders, making her look more heroic and beautiful.
"By the way, Sylphy, in case you've forgotten, which I know you already have, that Linus Sword in your hand actually has an exclusive martial art attached to it. I mentioned it before, but you quickly forgot. Anyway, it's called Martial art: Sacrifice?Zwei. Although the name sounds a little ominous, its effect shouldn't be disappointing."
Hearing what Myne said, Sylphy let out a surprised "Ooh!" before happily swinging Linus Sword around.
"Yosh, Myne! Let's go to the next floor. I can't wait to try my sword's special attack," Sylphy excitedly urged and dragged Myne to the secret room, which appeared after defeating the boss. It had a levitating pink transfer stone in the middle, which was also the key to move to the next floor or exit the dungeon quickly.
#Dungeon of Strength, B1
Other than gathering some useless skills and honing Sylphy's battle style, there was nothing profitable in their journey on this floor.
"Let's head quickly towards the boss room. If we're lucky, we might get another set of Magic Shoes!" Myne suggested to Sylphy and couldn't help but think about giving one set of Magic Shoes to Rector, anyway, that guy just needed a magic item, he never told him he would give something very powerful.
As such, they proceeded to the boss room through brute force. Sylphy, like a meat grinder, slaughtered every ogre and other monsters that got in her way in the name of upgrading her skills. Myne knew that this wasn't the case, but he didn't want to ruin her fun and allowed her to do as she pleased.
Thanks to the Presence Detection?Large skill, there was no chance of a sneak attack on them. Myne happily took on the role of a scout and soon reached the end of the floor.
"Phew, that was amazing! I've never enjoyed fighting so much. Although now I'm a little tired," Sylphy said with a wide smile as she cleaned her sword with a dirty cloth.
"Of course, if toying with ogres is what you called fighting, how can you not enjoy it? Did you see how scared those ogres got when you ruthlessly killed their comrades while laughing like a crazy murderer? For a moment, I thought a ghost possessed you," Myne's mouth couldn't help but twist as he said that. After shaking his head with a sigh, he continued, "We're already at the end of the floor.
Just a little bit more, and we'll reach the boss room. There, we can take a short rest, and eat something before moving forward, okay?"
Without any objection from Sylphy, they walked a few more minutes and finally arrived at the boss room.
"Huh? Somehow, this feels like déjà vu," Myne thought as he saw a group of gloomy-faced people sitting in front of the boss room as if they were at a funeral.
"Hm? Lord Husband, why are so many people gathering here? Is there any special reason behind it?" Sylphy asked with a frown as she observed the people with unknown motives blocking the boss room.
But to her surprise, Myne didn't answer her and simply stared at a middle-aged man with a frown.
Cass from 'Soaring Sandstorm.' Do those guys still not get the Speed Shoes since then? And as the one of most powerful clans of the kingdom don't they have anything better to do than spend weeks after a single mission? How important can this mission be for them? I wonder if a noble is emptying his treasury just for a normal magic item.
With this level of intelligence and poor management I'm curious how they became famous, Myne thought with a disappointed look. He then shrugged, dismissing their matter from his thoughts. After all, Soaring Sandstorm's internal matters had nothing to do with him.
However, just because Myne didn't care didn't mean others felt the same. Cass, who had noticed him, quickly called out, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Oh? The young man from before, and... Hm? Isn't that Miss Princess Knight? Why is a princess in such a place?" Cass asked with a shock and quickly bowed lightly.
"What about Aisha? Wasn't she his partner last time?" A random guy in the background asked his companion.
"I don't know, go and find out for yourself," The irritated companion replied.
This kind of conversation continued among other members of Soaring Sandstorm, but Myne and Sylphy ignored it without even blinking. Gossips like this were very common for them nowadays.
"Hello, Mr. Cass. Although we don't know each other well, but still how are you?" Myne politely asked with his trademark smile.
"I am fine," Cass replied awkwardly realizing his mistake and shook hands with Myne.
"Come to think of it, Aisha mentioned that you came here to get Speed Shoes. Have you still not found them?" Sylphy heartlessly asked, showing no concern for other people's emotions.
As Sylphy asked that, Cass's face became even more distorted. Myne, for a moment, thought he saw the words "1000 damage" written in red letters above Cass's head, but when he blinked, there was nothing. He concluded it might have been his imagination.
"Ah, we've been really unlucky recently. We've never encountered a Cocka Grice. It's been almost a month since we arrived here, and everyone on my team is losing hope. Today, we're trying one last time. If we still don't encounter Cocka Grice, we'll abandon this wretched mission and return to our clan," Cass explained his problem with a dejected voice, letting out a long sigh.
I wondered if this guy even if he didn't find his target today would be able to sleep peacefully for a long time. His clan members also seemed to be at the end of their patience.
It was admirable that, after spending nearly a month in this gloomy dungeon, they were still willing to follow their clan leader and not throw their resignations on his face, Myne thought with a sigh, but he soon threw away his useless thoughts out of mind as for just a shake of goodwill and some thanks, there was no way he would help a rival clan. Such cheap acts only happen in novels.
"Are Your Highness and this young man aiming for the boss? It seems like it's just the two of you again," Cass asked while looking at the empty passage behind Myne and Sylphy.
"Yeah, our aim is to clear this dungeon."
In response to Sylphy's casual answer, but Cass shouted with disbelief.
"What did you say!? The boss on the next floor is... a Troll Gazer, right!? Your Highness, forgive my disrespect, but are you insane? That guy isn't something you can just beat with cheap tricks! If you don't exterminate it in one go with overwhelming power and destroy its body, it'll immediately recover.
That guy is literally the ancestor of cockroaches. It's absolutely impossible to defeat it with just two people! It's impossible to even attempt it."
Sigh, not this shit again, why does this guy like to poke his nose in other people's business so much? So annoying, Myne thought while rubbing his head.
"No, well, the last time Lord Husband and Aisha defeated it with just the two of them. This sword is proof of that, it's a drop from the Troll Gazer. So it's not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be," Sylphy said casually, showing her sword to Cass and directly delivering another critical hit. This time, Myne saw 10,000 emotional damage on Cass's head.
"WHAT!!!"
