In reality, the magic stones inside the monsters on the first four floors were basically all fragments.
But for Emiya, even the smallest fragment was money. The main reason was that he had no money in this world. So Emiya didn't mind taking out all the magic stone fragments from the Kobolds.
After the magic stones were removed, the Kobolds' bodies underwent a huge change.
First, they rapidly lost their color, then their heads were crushed, and finally, their entire bodies turned into dust and disappeared without a trace.
Anyone who had watched Danmachi knew that magic stones were the "core" of monsters, and they moved based on them.
Once the monsters lost their magic stones, they would turn into dust.
Emiya was unlucky. After he collected all the magic stones, the Kobolds all turned into dust, leaving nothing behind.
It seemed that finding drop items was not easy at all.
Tiona, who was standing on the side, saw Emiya use his invisible power to take out the magic stones without having to get his hands dirty with the monsters' bloody bodies. She couldn't help but sigh.
"Psychic power is such a great skill."
Some monsters smelled awful, and after you killed them, you would inevitably get blood all over you. And you would have to cut open the monster's corpse to find the magic stone.
For a girl who liked to be clean, this was a nightmare.
If she had a skill like this, she could kill monsters from a distance and not have to go through that nightmare.
This made Tiona even more envious of Emiya's psychic power.
But unfortunately, skills were different from magic. Even if someone was willing to teach you, you might not be able to learn it.
Many skills were simply impossible to learn.
Tiona quickly got over her envy and said, "Let's go. We'll continue."
Emiya nodded and continued to look for new Kobolds in the dungeon.
For a thousand years, the dungeon had welcomed batch after batch of adventurers, but the monsters in the dungeon never seemed to die out. The main reason was that the dungeon was not a lifeless place.
It was a living dungeon.
Every once in a while, the dungeon would produce a new batch of monsters.
This was why the monsters in the dungeon never died out. The dungeon was the mother of the monsters. As long as the dungeon was not destroyed, the monsters would continue to come out endlessly.
At the moment, adventurers didn't even know how many floors the dungeon had, let alone destroy it.
The number of floors in the dungeon was one of the biggest mysteries in the world.
After going through his first battle, when Emiya encountered Kobolds for the second time, he was still a bit nervous, but he was much better than he was during the first battle.
At least he could face them calmly.
When the Kobolds were still some distance away, Emiya released his psychic bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets pierced the Kobolds' eyes, causing blood to splatter, and then pierced their skulls, easily killing them.
He was much more proficient than he was during the first battle.
The Kobolds couldn't even get within ten meters of Emiya before they were completely wiped out.
Then, Emiya took out the magic stone fragments, and the Kobolds turned into dust.
The entire battle was much cleaner and faster than the first one.
Tiona watched silently from the side.
The third battle came sooner than expected. Emiya's response was even calmer. He used the least amount of energy to deal the most damage, killing the enemies over and over again.
After an hour of being on the first floor of the labyrinth, Emiya, with Tiona's guidance, entered the second floor.
Although the monsters on the second floor were a bit stronger than the ones on the first floor, they were still within Emiya's range of control.
The destructive power of his psychic abilities was beyond Emiya's imagination.
The range of his psychic hands was over a hundred meters, and the range of his psychic bullets was over five hundred meters.
What was even more exaggerated was that after the psychic bullets were released, they were still under Emiya's control.
They could not only turn corners but also do zigzag movements, loop-the-loops, and other high-difficulty maneuvers.
This was why Emiya could always pierce the monsters' eyes and skulls.
The high-efficiency killing power allowed Emiya to rampage through the first few floors of the dungeon. No monster could get within ten meters of him.
As Emiya became more familiar with combat, this range was slowly increasing.
Two hours later, Emiya entered the fourth floor of the dungeon.
The monsters still appeared in groups, most of them Goblins.
But these Goblins couldn't even get within 30 meters, let alone ten. Emiya could easily kill these monsters from more than 30 meters away.
More importantly, Emiya's psychic attacks were invisible.
The monsters couldn't even defend themselves, which was one of the reasons why Emiya was so successful.
Interestingly, with so many people coming and going in the dungeon, Emiya had encountered more than one adventurer along the way. These adventurers also witnessed Emiya's fighting style.
They couldn't see Emiya's attacks either. All they could see was that every time Emiya's eyes looked at a monster, the monster would die.
And since Tiona was with him, it was clear that Emiya was a member of Loki Familia.
Therefore, a strange rumor began to spread on the first few floors of the dungeon.
At the same time, Emiya arrived at the fifth floor of the dungeon.
Unlike the first four floors, the monsters on the fifth floor were a lot stronger, both in number and quality. This was no longer a level a regular newbie could handle.
Even a level two adventurer would be in danger if they were alone.
But these monsters were still nothing in Emiya's eyes.
He could easily kill the monsters before they got close to him. But compared to the previous fights, the consumption of his psychic power was much greater.
"Stop!"
After a battle ended, Tiona, who had been acting as Emiya's bodyguard, finally stopped him from looking for more monsters and complained, "You can't keep doing this, newbie-kun."
"What's wrong?" Emiya asked.
Tiona held up her right hand and started counting with her fingers.
"Listen up, newbie-kun. Your ability score is mainly made up of five basic ability scores: strength, endurance, dexterity, agility, and magic. Plus two special abilities: magic and skills, and the rank of your vessel, which is your level."
"And for us who have received divine grace, we have to fight monsters and do other things to gain experience points. This is how we change the structure of our ability scores and strengthen our abilities."
Emiya nodded. "I know that."
Tiona shook her head and said, "You don't understand at all. Besides magic, strength, agility, endurance, and dexterity all need to be tempered in battle. That's how you grow quickly. But in your last few battles, you only used a skill called psychic power."
"Although you can quickly kill monsters and get magic stones, it won't do you any good for your growth. Your strength, agility, endurance, and dexterity will increase very slowly. The newbies who started adventuring at the same time as you will probably be level two or even level three by the time you're still stuck at level one."
Emiya nodded thoughtfully at Tiona's warning.
Tiona said, "From now on, I'll teach you how to fight, newbie-kun."
"I appreciate the thought, but it's not necessary," Emiya said.
"Huh?"
Emiya said, "I only came to the dungeon today to experience what it's like to fight in the dungeon. In reality, I don't have a strong desire to become stronger. Besides, I have a special way of becoming stronger. I can increase my strength without fighting monsters."
"Hah?" Tiona's expression broke, and she couldn't help but yell, "How is there a good thing like that?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. If I get the chance in the future, I can help you increase your strength and help you reach level six or even level seven faster."
Emiya was full of confidence. With access to many different worlds, he had a lot of ways to get stronger.
And the most suitable one for Emiya was undoubtedly the world of Toriko.
Unfortunately, Emiya's travel was random, so it was very difficult to get to the world of Toriko.
It all depended on luck.
When Tiona saw Emiya's expression, she knew there was no way she could change his mind. She couldn't help but sigh.
"You sure do have a vivid imagination. Do you know what a level seven is? There's only one level seven in all of Orario."
Emiya, of course, knew that there was only one level seven in all of Orario: the captain of Freya Familia, Ottar the Juggernaut.
He was known as Orario's "Ultimate Weapon."
"Don't worry, Tiona. Just one Ottar is nothing," Emiya said nonchalantly.
This time, Tiona was completely speechless.
"Okay, whatever makes you happy."
As for Emiya's promise to help her quickly reach level six or seven, she would just take it as a joke and not believe it.
Her rational side told her it would be stupid to believe in something like that.
So they continued to fight. When Emiya had used up about two-thirds of his psychic power, he was on the eighth floor of the dungeon. To be safe, Emiya decided to end his dungeon trip.
He finally returned to the plaza on the surface at around three in the afternoon.
Afterward, Emiya went to the Guild again and handed the magic stone fragments and small magic stones he had collected to the clerk Eina.
"Please exchange these for Valis," Emiya said, handing her two pouches.
"It's Mr. Emiya. Please wait a moment," Eina saw Emiya and nodded slightly. However, when she poured out the magic stones from the pouches, she was surprised.
"That's... so much."
"Is that a lot?" Emiya asked.
