Chapter 187: Wien Joins the Battle!
Dungeon 25th Floor.
"Rumble!"
A violent roar resounded. The deafening explosion almost made the entire ground of the 25th floor rumble.
Lili looked around with a grave expression, "What happened?"
Cold sweat broke out on Daphne's forehead, "Look over there!"
Wien flapped her wings and flew into the air, then her eyes widened, "It's a dragon! The dragon is climbing up along the water stream!"
The other few people present also noticed this scene. The 27th-floor lord, the two-headed dragon, had climbed directly from its position on the 27th floor to the field of the 25th!
This situation was truly inconceivable. And hadn't Liam just slain the two-headed dragon?
Logically speaking, it would take at least two months to revive again. And why would it climb directly up the vertical waterfall to the twenty-fifth floor?
The two-headed dragon itself had the strength of a Lv5, and its strength in the water was comparable to a Lv6 existence.
"Retreat!"
Ais brought up the rear, and the other few immediately ran towards the entrance of the twenty-fourth floor.
The two-headed dragon Amphisbaena spewed blue flames at Ais and the others.
The group tried their best and barely dodged this giant dragon's breath.
But who knew, this was just the beginning.
Amphisbaena's blue dragon head was raised high, and then it spewed at the ceiling above.
The ceiling here on the twenty-fifth floor was composed of a large number of tree roots and crystals.
This blue flame attack directly caused a large number of crystals and tree roots to fall, sealing the exit tightly.
"We can't escape anymore."
Amphisbaena stayed in the lake not far from the river bank and did not come ashore.
Just like a cat playing with a mouse, it was waiting with ease for its prey.
Lili jumped anxiously, "If it dared to come up, we could still fight. But in the water, we can't do anything!"
The current situation was thus. Amphisbaena stayed at the exit of this cave. The exit to leave here had long been buried.
Behind it was a huge waterfall. By sinking down from the waterfall, one could directly reach the twenty-seventh floor.
Of course, that was if one was not afraid of the numerous aquatic monsters in this deep water.
Daphne and the others were also thinking of a countermeasure, on how to lure this monster onto the ground.
Thinking of the flame breath just now, the other party's flame range was at least two hundred meters to start with.
At this distance, even if they stayed in the center of the lake, it could easily attack all of them.
As long as Amphisbaena was still there, they couldn't sleep or eat.
A battle of attrition would be completely in Amphisbaena's favor.
Ais sized up the tree roots that had fallen on the lake surface, "It's not completely impossible to fight.
I can fight by stepping on those tree roots."
"Don't. Although it hurts a lot, now is the opportunity to use these magic swords."
Lili took out three magic swords with a pained expression, the one-time-use kind.
"I only have three ice-type magic swords in total. I can freeze the lake surface three times.
Sword Princess Ais, may your fortunes of war prosper!"
"Wien can fight too!"
Wien looked at Ais seriously. Her physical fitness was equivalent to a Lv3 adventurer. Although her adventurer level was Lv1, she still had some strength.
Mikoto, Daphne, Cassandra, and the others, at this time, all took out their prepared long-range weapons.
Previously, when they saw Liam often acting as the main force in battle, in order to be of some help, everyone had tried their best to learn how to provide long-range support.
Arrows, magic swords, and so on were taken out respectively.
Lili released a magic sword to freeze the lake surface. Ais immediately summoned a strong wind to protect her body and walked on the ice, beginning to launch a subjugation against Amphisbaena.
Selfless Sword Aura was released from her blade. The destructive effect was very average, but after amplifying the strong wind with the Selfless Sword Aura, the sword aura produced a certain destructive power!
Ais's eyes lit up. This was good news!
While Ais was fighting Amphisbaena, Amphisbaena spewed a red breath at Ais.
This kind of breath had a corrosive and magic-neutralizing effect. And so the ice surface began to become unstable, and a large number of cracks appeared.
Afterward, one by one, fish monsters broke through the ice layer and approached Mikoto and the others. As if being commanded by the two-headed dragon, they charged onto the ground in groups, besieging Mikoto and the others.
Daphne, out of helplessness, also took out her last resort.
"Lili, you're in charge of command now. I'm joining the battle too!"
Cassandra, on the other hand, stood at the very back with Lili, responsible for long-range support and healing.
Lili's current positioning was also very important. Carrying and storing supplies, and now temporarily acting as a commander.
Wien also joined the subjugation at this time. She flew directly in the air, circling the two-headed dragon.
Just by relying on speed, her speed was still much more agile than the two-headed dragon.
But if she were to carry Ais and fly, she would probably only be able to barely fly. Wanting to dodge the two-headed dragon's attack was almost a dream.
The two-headed dragon would immediately dive underwater whenever it felt something was wrong.
Afterward, from within the shattered ice layer, a large number of aquatic monsters would jump out of the water surface and thus attack Ais.
Mikoto, in the distance, used a great deal of effort to cast her gravity magic.
Taking advantage of the moment the two-headed dragon was imprisoned, Ais immediately swung her weapon and released a sword aura slash amplified by the strong wind.
Afterward, by jumping down from a high altitude and using gravity, she cut off the two-headed dragon's red dragon head with one slash.
The huge dragon head was severed. The two-headed dragon Amphisbaena let out a painful wail.
The other party had originally wanted to dive and escape, but Wien and Ais and the others simply wouldn't allow it.
The lake surface was frozen again. Wien swung her sword in the air, attacking Amphisbaena's body.
Although it couldn't cause effective damage, being able to attract a part of Amphisbaena's attention was already very successful.
Amphisbaena, having lost a head, and with its body temporarily imprisoned by the ice.
Therefore, Ais immediately seized the time to launch an attack.
Amphisbaena spewed blue flames at Ais. Although these flames did not hit Ais, they also melted a lot of the surrounding ice.
"This time, I won't let you escape again."
Ais recalled the movements of Liam releasing various moves and also began to imitate him, releasing her Selfless Sword Aura.
Although the special effects of those skills could not be expressed, just by releasing such moves, it already had great power.
Ais's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that just by imitating Liam's movements and sword aura, her strength could also be amplified.
Before long, the two-headed dragon Amphisbaena was also slain.
Lili excitedly held Amphisbaena's dragon liver in her arms.
"This is Amphisbaena's super rare drop item! Amphisbaena's dragon liver!"
Daphne breathed a sigh of relief, "Can't you not be so jumpy? I thought something bad had happened again."
Lili hurriedly put the dragon liver into her backpack, "The key is that this item is really very valuable.
And it's very delicious!"
Speaking of delicious, Mikoto, Ais, and the others' mouths couldn't help but start to salivate.
After all, it was the dropped dragon liver of the floor lord Amphisbaena. This kind of precious ingredient was truly a rare find.
The ceiling was making a violent rumbling sound, and more crystals were falling from a high place towards the ground.
Just how the crystals in the Dungeon were formed, no one present knew.
But the current situation, everyone understood. The ceiling here was about to collapse. They had to hide immediately, otherwise, they would really encounter fatal danger.
Daphne looked at everyone present, "Everyone, run quickly. Climb up along these tree roots, and you can probably reach the twenty-fourth floor directly."
Cassandra looked at Daphne anxiously, "No, we have to run east! Look, the entrance to the twenty-sixth floor in the east has also been cleared!"
Because of the battle just now, the aftershocks of Amphisbaena's dragon breath had already cleared this place.
Although she was puzzled, Daphne decided to trust her close friend.
"Everyone, let's go directly to the twenty-sixth floor!"
Because Ais was in the team, reaching the twenty-sixth floor also had a great safety guarantee.
Everyone looked at each other and decided to follow Daphne's suggestion.
Daphne was originally the second-in-command of the entire Familia team, a position also appointed by Liam.
The rubble and crystals falling from the ceiling were increasing.
So everyone present followed and ran with all their might towards the twenty-sixth floor.
A tree root with an exaggerated diameter of over ten meters fell. After Ais and the others had all run into the tunnel leading to the twenty-sixth floor, it sealed the entrance.
To open the entrance, even Ais would have to spend a lot of effort.
Daphne looked at everyone, "Don't worry, as long as we patiently wait to meet up with Liam and the others, it will be fine.
Didn't we already arrange the meeting points before?"
Yes, Liam had arranged meeting points for everyone on each floor.
If one party was up and the other was down.
The group on the upper floor would either leave a message at the meeting point on this floor, or go to the meeting point on the next floor to leave a message.
The same went for the lower floor, until both sides finally met.
...
Dungeon thirty-seventh floor, the White Labyrinth.
Falling asleep after eating, spring sleepiness, summer fatigue, autumn weariness, winter hibernation, every day was a good day for sleep and health preservation.
After a quick lunch, Liam looked at Ryuu. "I'm going to take a one-hour nap. You help keep watch."
"Okay!"
To be able to fall asleep quickly in any scene was an important ability to guarantee one's physical condition in the lower and deep levels.
It took about ten seconds for Liam to immediately enter a state of sleep.
The pressure the Juggernaut gave him was even greater than when he faced Udaeus.
So he had to immediately ensure sufficient stamina.
About half an hour passed. A skeleton ram appeared from the depths of the profound cave.
This was an undead creature that was almost entirely made of bones. Below its neck was a layer of thin black skin.
Because of this cloak-like thin skin, it could blend into the darkness.
Just as Ryuu took out two small tachi and was preparing to engage the enemy, the skeleton ram had already dashed in front of the sleeping Liam on the ground.
"Clang!"
Liam opened his eyes. His right hand had already taken out Sloth from his Selfless Sword Domain and had directly slashed at the skeleton ram.
"BOOM!"
The Selfless Sword Aura was instantly released. Just one blow cut off the ram horn on the other's head.
The skeleton ram immediately retreated, and several bone spurs shot out from its back, while Liam had already activated Thrusting Smash.
They only saw the skeleton ram's head being cut off by Liam, and so it immediately turned into black smoke and suddenly dissipated.
The skeleton ram was easily slain by Liam. He picked up the magic stone dropped by the skeleton ram, and then returned to Ryuu's side to continue lying down.
"It shouldn't be an hour yet, right? Then I'll continue to sleep for a while?"
"Mmm."
Through the display on the duel disk, he found that he had only slept for half an hour.
And so, he immediately closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
This time, he slept for a full hour. His stamina had completely recovered. As long as he could encounter the Juggernaut, he could once again engage in a passionate battle with the other party.
"Do you want to rest for a while?"
Ryuu nodded, "I probably also need to rest for half an hour to an hour."
Watching the other party fall asleep, Liam took out the Dungeon map and began to study it.
The thirty-seventh floor was the beginning of the deep layer.
Flash Swallows were just the fastest monsters in the lower levels. And the deep layer had many more monsters faster and stronger than Flash Swallows.
By the time Ryuu also woke up, Liam led her to start exploring and fighting on the thirty-seventh floor.
"Ryuu, while we're looking for the Juggernaut, shall we also have a wave of battles?
In my opinion, if we don't look a little pathetic, a guy like the Juggernaut probably won't show up."
Ryuu nodded, "Captain Liam, I'll listen to you."
A skeleton ram covered in black fur appeared again. This time, there were a full nine of them.
Their speed was very fast, but Liam's speed was even faster.
And so, several blurry figures, while approaching Liam, had already been slain by Liam using Thrusting Smash.
Then was the instant release of Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash.
In almost just two or three skills, Liam had slain eight of the skeleton rams.
Ryuu, on the other hand, faced the remaining one. Facing the super high speed of the skeleton ram, Ryuu found it very difficult to deal with.
But it was not completely unmanageable. Observing the other's movements in a guiding manner.
After Ryuu had slain the enemy, Liam also immediately requested the other party to rest on the spot.
Subsequently, in the process of walking, the two happened to see the brilliance of a firelight.
Liam led Ryuu and walked over. As a result, they only saw a pile of corpses, and a burning magic stone lamp furnace.
And just as Liam arrived, the magic stone in the lamp furnace shattered, and the magic stone lamp furnace burned its last trace of energy.
He immediately took out a magic stone from his pocket and placed it in the original position.
And so the extinguished lamp furnace lit up again.
"You hold this for me. I'll go check the corpses."
Ryuu looked at Liam blankly. Although this was a bit disrespectful to the dead, she would not stop him.
After all, their current situation was also very average.
"I just found a pile of magic stones, and some inexplicable things."
Liam collected all these things, and then once again led Ryuu towards another place.
"This time we'll just take a stroll on the thirty-seventh floor, and then we'll have to return."
"No problem!"
Just as Liam and Ryuu had walked not far, the Dungeon began to continuously refresh a large number of monsters.
It seemed that because Liam and Ryuu had encountered too few monsters before, a large number of undead monsters were now emerging here.
