The Juggernaut was chasing Drake in mid-air, its broken claws ruthlessly grabbing towards Drake's back.
Drake didn't turn his head, but had already sensed the attack coming from behind.
Flames erupted, Drake directly doing a somersault, punching towards the Juggernaut, who had just moved beneath him.
The Juggernaut's head suffered a heavy blow, directly diving down headfirst.
Drake thought that the Juggernaut was troublesome, and the Juggernaut was equally helpless against Drake's strength.
Facing other adventurers, it could use its extraordinary speed to dodge physical attacks, and it could use its anti-magic shield to reflect magic attacks back.
But Drake's Dragon Slayer magic, although it also had release attacks like Roar, its foundation was to attach the power of the dragon to himself, a powerful magic that combined magic attacks and physical attacks.
Its speed couldn't dodge Drake, who had the power of the dragon on him, and its magic-resistant shield couldn't withstand Drake's iron fists.
The advantages it had against other adventurers didn't exist at all.
Flames propelled Drake, allowing him to move even faster than the falling Juggernaut, instantly arriving beneath it, kicking the Juggernaut away with an upward leg.
This was Drake's strategy. The Juggernaut's speed came from its special limb structure, using jumping to move at high speed.
But it couldn't fly. If it didn't have a foothold to borrow force from, the Juggernaut would no longer be able to unleash the corresponding speed.
So Drake planned to give it an aerial combat, directly blasting it apart in the air.
The people below only saw the Juggernaut stagnating in mid-air, a fiery light shuttling around it.
Crack! Crack!
A large number of damages instantly appeared on the blue-purple light shield, then the armor on the Juggernaut's body was covered with a large number of cracks, looking like it was about to be smashed to pieces by Drake.
The Juggernaut itself also sensed that something was wrong, letting out a miserable scream.
Then, in Drake's surprised gaze, its entire body armor shattered, flying out.
Drake had guarded against everything, but hadn't expected that the Juggernaut would have this cast-off move. The floating infinite combo was therefore interrupted.
While Drake was dodging and blocking all the fragments that had been shot over, the Juggernaut had also landed on the ground.
Although it had dodged the fate of being killed by Drake's combo, it had blown up its anti-magic armor, which meant that it no longer had the ability to reflect magic.
Where would Drake let this opportunity go? He immediately arrived before the Juggernaut.
Blocking the stabbing long tail, Drake agilely arrived beneath the Juggernaut.
After the fierce battle before, the Juggernaut's body had swelled up a lot again.
Drake, standing straight under its body, could also move freely.
And what Drake was aiming at were the joints on the Juggernaut's limbs.
Evil Dragon and Dragon Slayer transformed into light, gathering and lengthening in Drake's hand, forming a dragon-coiling longsword.
Raising his hand, Drake, with the sharp blade of the God of War, severed the wrist joint of the Juggernaut's left forelimb, the longsword rotating around Drake's body in a circle, the blade passing over, severing the elbow joint as well.
Taking two steps forward, Drake dodged the Juggernaut, which was falling down, the longsword directly stabbing into the reverse joint of its hind leg.
Flames erupted, the shattered bones flying out, the Juggernaut directly falling down.
Drake arrived behind the Juggernaut, reaching out, grabbing the Juggernaut's tail, throwing it into the sky.
The Juggernaut let out a wail, the destroyed limbs and the armor on its body beginning to regenerate.
In a few minutes, it would be able to recover to its complete state, even evolving into a stronger form.
But Drake wouldn't give it this opportunity. A large amount of magic power gathered in his hands.
"Dragon Slaying Secret Art - Crimson Exploding Flame Blade!"
In order to completely resolve the Juggernaut, Drake had used all of his strength this time.
Compared to the one he had used against Ottar, this time's Dragon Slaying Secret Art didn't have such a large momentum.
That was the effect of the flames spiraling even more condensed, even the color of the flames turning incandescent.
The Juggernaut desperately urged the regeneration of the anti-magic armor.
If it had been given a few more seconds, it could have escaped the fatal blow. But no one would give it even an instant.
The flames swallowed the Juggernaut whole, a huge firework blooming on the 20th floor of the Dungeon under the gaze of many Familias.
Drake let out a puff of white air, turning his head to look at the surrounding adventurers.
Those who had simply come to join in the fun were fine, but the adventurers who had come to cause trouble with the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia were all trembling in fear.
Even if they had leveled up to LV2, being called high-level adventurers, where had they seen how strong true high-level adventurers were.
Drake's one strike of the Dragon Slaying Secret Art had not only blasted apart the Juggernaut, it had even blasted a large hole in the 20th floor's dome.
Looking at the magma that had been melted out by the flames on the edge of the large hole, they didn't even have the courage to speak loudly.
Just then, someone walked out, clapping their hands. Everyone looked, discovering that the one clapping was actually Finn, the of the Loki Familia.
Finn said loudly, "Everyone, the battle we just saw was undoubtedly like a great feat. Let us cheer for the birth of this new hero!"
Everyone present... even Riveria and the others' expressions changed as they looked at Finn, not expecting that Finn would actually... turn his mind so quickly!
So the applause suddenly became enthusiastic, everyone offering cheers for the hero's activity, just like Finn had said.
Drake almost hadn't controlled his emotions, somehow having the feeling of Ainz Ooal Gown after releasing a super-tier magic.
But Drake also understood Finn's intention. After Finn's operation like this, the impact of the Wiene incident on Drake and the Hephaestus Familia had been greatly reduced, even directly eliminated.
Moreover, Finn's approach had also given the other adventurers a way out, easing their relationship with Drake.
As expected of one of the top intellectuals in Orario, he was always able to make the most appropriate judgment.
So Drake also accepted Finn's favor, releasing the Dragon Flame Battle Gear and the Dragon King War Body, also dispersing the hostility that had been oppressing those adventurers all along.
Tsubaki and the others came over together, raising her hand, punching Drake, saying, "Really, you're too ridiculously strong. It's not like we need to come and help at all!"
Drake revealed a smile, saying, "No, your support has already made me extremely grateful!"
These were heartfelt words. Drake was truly grateful for these comrades who stood by his side no matter what happened.
Tsubaki looked around, saying, "Right, why haven't I seen Stella?"
Drake said, "There's no need to worry about her. Don't underestimate her. The serious her won't lose to anyone."
That was indeed the case. The Freya Familia and the Loki Familia were all here. There was no one else in Orario who could cause trouble for her.
Unfortunately, not everyone understood this principle.
Just as Drake and the Freya Familia were at war, Stella was moving towards the Dungeon exit with Wiene.
But just as they returned to the 12th floor, a large net came down.
A trap of this level naturally couldn't hurt Stella. Before it could even touch the two, it was burned away by Stella with flames.
Then Dix of the Ikelos Familia triumphantly walked out with a group of people.
They had painstakingly created such a large situation, of course not just to cause trouble for Drake.
Their ultimate goal was to capture Wiene, then use her as bait to lure out even more Xenos.
Because they feared Drake's strength, they had pulled the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia into the water, successfully separating Drake and Wiene.
Everything was as Dix had predicted. Drake was entangled by the Freya Familia, and next to that Dragon Girl was only an unknown human girl who didn't even have a title.
The advantage was on his side! Dix thought this, then appearing before Stella.
Three minutes later, Wiene, who was following behind Stella, raised her head, asking, "Stella, who are those people?"
Stella frowned, saying, "Who knows? Anyway, they're a bunch of disgusting guys!"
Stella, who was in a hurry to get on the road, didn't even have the mood to ask their identities.
Since they had used traps to deal with her, they must be enemies. So she had mercilessly sent the other party flying.
Dix lay on the ground, one hand gripping a section of a broken spear, looking blankly at the sky above.
The ground was cold, but it couldn't compare to the coldness in his heart.
What had happened just now? Almost in an instant, that seemingly weak girl had broken his weapon with one punch, sending him flying along with it.
You're kidding me. How could an adventurer of this level not have any fame at all?
Just as Dix was doubting his life, huge footsteps sounded. A shadow with horns on its head enveloped him.
The black Minotaur raised the battleaxe in its hand towards him.
