Chapter 189: The Arena of the Deep Levels
Because of Marie the mermaid's assistance, although Mikoto and the others were a little surprised, they immediately followed Marie's words.
Ais and the others immediately attacked these monsters.
With everyone's concerted efforts, these monsters were quickly and easily dealt with by Ais and her group.
Wien finally recovered from the dizzying discomfort. She looked at the mermaid curiously.
"Who are you? My name is Wien!"
"My name is Marie! You are all Liam's friends, right? I'm his friend too."
Marie's personality was very innocent. After seeing the cute Wien, she also proactively swam to the shore.
"Wien, you're so cute."
Subsequently, Marie told everyone about the battle between Liam and the Juggernaut.
"Everyone, I heard from the little companions here that Liam and his group have most likely reached the thirty-seventh floor.
They should be safe for now, so you just need to wait around here."
"I see."
Ais was a little disappointed. If it were just her, going to the thirty-seventh floor alone to support Liam would be no problem at all.
She had previously watched the battle between Liam and the thirty-seventh floor lord, Udaeus.
That protracted battle was really ridiculous. You have to know, Liam was still Lv3 at that time.
And now Liam had already become Lv4. Facing that special monster, he was actually caught in a prolonged battle.
...
Dungeon Thirty-Seventh Floor: White Labyrinth.
Liam released his Selfless Sword Aura, hitting the werewolves in the distance.
Because it was a long-range attack, these werewolves could not completely dodge and defend.
Of course, these werewolf-type monsters also had more intelligence and swordsmanship than the monsters on the previous floors.
A werewolf approached Liam from behind and swung its weapon.
"Clang!" A burst of sparks splashed on Liam's blade, and then the Selfless Sword Aura erupted from the blade.
The sword aura storm sent the werewolf back and flying. Liam continuously slashed out several sword auras at this ambushing werewolf, slaying it.
The surrounding slashes were once again blocked by Liam's turn. Facing these monsters full of killing intent.
Even if Liam closed his eyes, he could still sense the direction of the coming attack.
"Not enough, not enough. This level of pressure is really too little. I need a higher intensity battle!"
Ryuu leaned against the wall, holding her tachi and guarding her back and Liam's surroundings.
There were currently no monsters behind her. The two of them were currently on a staircase.
Liam occupied a good geographical advantage.
The sound of footsteps came, and a group of dragon-horned lizardmen approached.
This was the elite lizardman from the 19th floor, but on this floor, it was just the most basic mob.
These dragon-horned lizardmen, some crawled on all fours, some walked on two feet.
And the more burly their figure, the stronger their strength.
Ryuu drew her weapon. Wearing the light armor with Liam's scent, she only felt herself surrounded by a strong sense of security.
She could not be a burden to Liam, she had to fight too! To reduce Liam's burden!
The sword aura she released had no killing power. On the contrary, she used the breathing of the Secret Sword Art, and in coordination with her own magic, it could produce a certain amplification.
Sensing more monsters approaching, Liam no longer used these monsters to hone new moves.
Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash was swung several times, and the golden dragon-shaped sword aura directly killed more than half of these werewolf monsters.
As for the magic stones and other materials that fell on the ground, Liam didn't even have time to pick them up.
He immediately used Triple Slash to approach Ryuu, and then used Thrusting Smash to crash into the center of the monsters.
It looked like Liam was surrounded by monsters, but in fact, it was Liam who had surrounded these monsters.
Ryuu placed her hand on her waist. At the same time as three lizardmen with black horns instantly approached.
She suddenly released Drawing Sword, killing all three monsters with just one blow.
Then was to continuously use her tachi to attack.
Ryuu seemed to have discovered the door to a new world. This tachi was much easier to use than a small tachi.
Especially in coordination with the breathing method of the Secret Sword Art, plus her own magic.
These dragon-horned lizardmen seemed not to be so invincible.
Just as the surrounding dragon-horned lizardmen were slain to only a few dozen left, the wall suddenly cracked.
Barbarian Warriors appeared. This was a group of warriors with bull horns on their heads and extremely exaggerated muscles all over their bodies.
A mouthful of ferocious fangs, and a tongue that could extend to about ten meters.
One after another, tongues stabbed at Ryuu. This was an attack that even a Lv6 could not take head-on.
It was an attack that could even punch a large hole in the thirty-seventh floor wall.
Was this a Monster Party or Monster Gifting?
Liam didn't have time to think too much and instantly released Raging Dragon Slash.
He only saw a flash of fire and lightning. Liam, with a golden dragon head, killed three Barbarian Warriors with tyrannical speed and destructive power.
The surrounding Barbarian Warriors immediately placed their main target on Liam.
This guy clearly had stronger strength than Ryuu.
Killing the strongest first was the action policy of these Barbarian Warriors.
The exaggerated combat power made the Barbarian Warriors who subsequently broke through the wall immediately use their tongues to attack Liam.
They only saw several black shadows coming quickly. The attack speed was very fast.
Liam directly stood in front of Ryuu and cut off all of these tentacles.
The height of these Barbarian Warriors was three meters to start with. Just a normal walk would cause an abnormally obvious tremor on the ground.
Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash roared out again. One after another, the Barbarian Warriors were killed by that month's attack.
Subsequently, he sensed a monster appearing behind him. Before the monster could get close, Liam had already used a sword aura attack to kill the other party.
Liam's movement speed was very fast. The walls, ground, mid-air, and even the bodies of these monsters could become his jumping springboards.
High speed, high attack, this was Liam's current combat characteristic.
In the game, the player can only engage in conventional combat on the ground.
To fight in the air, you can only jump up and hit a few times, release an aerial combo, Silver Light Falling Blade, and at most add the Leap skill to increase the jump's hang time and height.
But in the real world, the accusation ability learned from Raging Dragon Slash would cause a qualitative change in his attack methods.
From two-dimensional plane combat to three-dimensional land, water, and air combat. He could now even accelerate his movement in water.
It was like the underwater moonwalk in One Piece, performing explosive movements in the water.
And just then, his Sword Soul template leveled up to 52.
He looked at his current SP points. He was prepared to upgrade the Extreme Ghost Sword Art - Iron-Slicing Style passive a bit.
Afterward, he found that the active awakening skill could only be upgraded once every five levels, and the passive could also only be upgraded once every three levels.
Forced by helplessness, he had no choice but to put points into other skills first.
He upgraded Thrusting Dragon-Slaying Slash and Raging Dragon Slash to level seven, and Illusion Sword Dance to level four.
As for the skills below level forty, Liam was prepared to save his SP points for now and use them to upgrade them specifically when needed later.
The level increase was still too slow.
Currently, it was the thirty-sixth floor. As long as he concentrated on fighting, he thought the experience would increase very quickly. He had to be wary of the Juggernaut and save his stamina, and also quickly raise his Sword Soul template level. To balance these two was still a bit difficult.
"Ryuu, afterward I will speed up the subjugation of the monsters. I hope you can save your stamina and help me defend at critical moments."
"Okay."
Afterward, the two began to sort out the dropped items and take a short rest.
Healing potions and food were supplemented thanks to the previously deceased adventurers. Even the water resources, because of the appearance of slimes, were at least enough for the two to drink for three days.
While resting, Ryuu started chatting with Liam.
"I heard that monster is called Juggernaut. It has magic-reflecting armor, and its strength, speed, and even defense are very astonishing..."
"After Syr took me in, a person in a black robe found me. He told me not to tell anyone any information about the Juggernaut.
As long as I could agree, they would no longer hunt me."
Hearing Ryuu say this, Liam knew that the person in the black robe was most likely Fels.
The Guild generally would not announce the most important precautions, for example, prohibiting large-scale damage to the Dungeon.
The more it was forbidden, the more ill-intentioned people would try.
As long as the Dungeon was destroyed on a large scale, it would, like this time, summon the Juggernaut.
The strength of the Juggernaut, even on the thirty-seventh floor, was an abnormally powerful existence.
Not to mention appearing directly on the twenty-something floors of the Great Azure Waterfall. Once it was really summoned, it would only lead to the death of a large number of adventurers.
And these adventurers were all important combat power for the future war. Reducing unnecessary casualties was naturally very important.
Ryuu leaned against the wall, her face grave as she looked at Liam, "Liam, if that person in the black robe is from the Guild.
Then the Guild must know of the Juggernaut's existence!"
"So we can't stop our own footsteps either. Even if our ability scores aren't updated, our own strength can continue to improve.
For example, by comprehending even more profound swordsmanship!"
Liam and the others continued to advance. At this time, a group of pale human bones surrounded the front and back of the road.
It was unclear if these human bone monsters were transformed from deceased adventurers.
Their number was very large, a full several hundred. And each of them held a sharp bone sword, bone axe, and a series of bone weapons.
They even used their ribs to make shields, connected to their arms.
The intelligence of this group of monsters is not low.
Liam just sighed. Even if the monster's intelligence was high, it was only on par with humans.
In the end, wisdom could only play a supporting role. It still relied on force to decide life and death.
To more profoundly comprehend the Extreme Ghost Sword Art's Iron-Slicing Style.
To listen to the breath of all things!
Liam gripped the sharp blade in his hand, and then released his perception to feel all the breaths around him.
The human bone monsters had no breath, but this breath, besides representing the flow of life forms, also represented the flow of all energy.
Liam once again compressed the sword aura inside the blade, and then engaged in close combat with these human bone monsters.
"Clang!"
A sound of weapons colliding rang out, and then Liam directly slashed his blade at the weak points of these human bones.
Yes, that was the magic stone in the eye sockets of the human bones.
Besides that, he could also aim for the gaps between the bones of these monsters.
Even for a monster, the defensive power of the connective tissue between the bones was far weaker than its own bones.
One by one, the human bone monsters were slain by Liam. However, this was just the beginning. More lizardmen also joined the battlefield.
"Then let's just use sword aura. The efficiency will be a bit higher."
After Liam finished speaking, a large amount of sword aura was instantly condensed and released from his hand.
With the battle against these human bone monsters, plus the one after another battles experienced before.
His comprehension of the Iron-Slicing Style was also increasing. Therefore, the power of the attacks he released was also becoming sharper and sharper.
And just at this time, several Peludas approached.
Liam's face became serious. He was not sure if the light armor he was wearing could one hundred percent defend against Ryuu's attack.
Therefore, Liam directly used Raging Dragon Slash to quickly approach the Peludas.
A large number of poisonous stingers were released from the bodies of several Peludas, but they completely failed to lock onto Liam.
A swift lightning flash roared. Liam released a slash at super high speed. One after another, the Peludas, before they could play their role, were already completely dead.
"Liam, have you become stronger again?"
Ryuu looked at Liam in surprise. They clearly hadn't updated their ability scores. Why could Liam still have such a significant improvement?
His various moves had all been greatly improved, almost as if his own ability scores were being updated by the goddess at all times.
"Is that so? It seems my Secret Sword Art has improved again."
Liam brushed off this topic, and then, following Ryuu's suggestion, continued to walk in a certain direction.
This stretch of road was all uphill, and no monsters appeared around.
Although they were walking, the stamina of both Liam and Ryuu was also slowly recovering.
Ryuu's gaze became grave, "Liam, I know where we are now.
As long as we successfully climb this stretch of road, we can reach the main road section."
Afterward, Liam and the two walked out of the stairs, and then they saw a stone bridge extending out.
This stone bridge had no railings, and both sides of the stone bridge were abnormally sharp stone spikes.
And in the distance, was a tall, towering building.
Clearly, the danger level here was at least one grade higher than before.
"Liam, this is an arena. What do we do?"
"Naturally, we have to go over. If possible, it's no problem for us to fight and hunt a wave of monsters inside."
Liam sat down on the spot, then took out the supplies from his backpack.
"Come, eat quickly. After you finish eating, you stand guard and let me sleep for half an hour."
"You can even sleep at a time like this?"
Ryuu was not as efficient as Liam in falling asleep at any time.
Liam, on the other hand, immediately prepared food and water. Of course, the water was still slime.
After quickly filling his stomach, he just lay down on the ground and started sleeping.
In less than ten seconds, Liam once again entered dreamland.
Looking at Liam's sleeping posture, Ryuu was a little dazed.
Where was the Juggernaut now? What would the intensity of the arena be? Was it really okay with just the two of them?
No matter how much she thought, it was useless. Ryuu also quickly ate, and then sat down against the cave entrance wall to rest.
...
The Juggernaut had long since locked onto the position of Liam and Ryuu, but it was preparing to hunt the other party again.
And so it set its sights on the numerous monsters on this floor.
It needed to evolve. It wanted to gather the advantages of a large number of monsters onto its own body.
