Chapter 192: Ryuu: Liam, I'm a Little Cold
How much time had passed, Liam's Sword Soul template level had already risen to fifty-five.
Liam opened the Sword Soul template and upgraded Extreme Ghost Sword Art (Tempest Style) to the second level.
"Skill Effect: 1. Can store up to 48 soul-bound weapons in the Selfless Sword Domain.
2. Throws out twenty-four weapons to form a sword aura domain (can double stamina consumption to form a sword aura domain composed of up to 48 weapons).
Grabs weapons in sequence to perform high-speed slashes, with the final slash being an upward slash. This upward slash can consume all the accumulated sword aura within the weapons.
After forming the sword aura domain, it will knock up the target and forcibly apply a sword aura space stasis.
And inflict a tempest-style sword aura attack on the enemy targets within.
By accelerating stamina consumption, the attack frequency and power can be increased, the domain range can be expanded, and the total number of weapons in the domain can be increased."
This was the change that occurred after Tempest Style was upgraded to Lv2.
This time, his comprehension of Tempest Style had further deepened. Various unprecedented inspirations burst forth in his mind.
As everyone knew, the Sword Soul template had no new skills at level fifty-five.
To have new skills, one had to comprehend them on their own.
"Is it possible? Can I split the characteristics within Tempest Style? To form new abilities?"
Apart from the space stasis effect, when Liam released Tempest Style, he almost teleported to the vicinity of the blade.
Summoning the weapons from the Selfless Sword Domain, he could summon the entrance and exit of the Selfless Sword Domain at will near him.
Could he, like a weapon, also pass through it himself?
Could this be used to develop a move similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique?
On each armament, there were special sword aura patterns exclusive to him.
Since Tempest Style had a space attribute, there was no reason he couldn't activate the space ability within it.
Then let's try it!
Liam directly threw one of the sharp blades on the ground, and then tried to activate the sword aura patterns from a distance.
He had tried hundreds of times just to get it right. He was not discouraged. On the contrary, as his proficiency increased, he became more and more confident.
He didn't know how many times he had practiced, but his figure was indeed pulled by the special power in the sharp blade.
Liam was like passing through a space tunnel, warping from the duel field's arena to the vicinity of the thrown sharp blade.
To seize this inspiration, Liam once again threw the sharp blade in his hand towards the surrounding Peludas.
One by one, the sharp blades broke through space with a tyrannical speed, piercing through the bodies of the Peludas.
Afterward, Liam's figure appeared near these sharp blades, continuously launching attacks at the surroundings.
Although the number of mistakes at the beginning was relatively high, as the number of releases increased, Liam's proficiency with this move was also rapidly improving.
"This..."
Ryuu subconsciously opened her mouth and looked at Liam. Had this genius comprehended a new move again?
Her nerves, which were almost numb from being stimulated by Liam, were once again fiercely plucked.
"Liam, did you just comprehend this move? What's its name?"
Seeing Liam return to her side again, Ryuu couldn't help but become curious.
"You mean this move? Let me think. After all, I just comprehended it. Then let's call it the Flying Thunder God."
"Flying Thunder God?"
Ryuu frowned and thought for a moment, then felt it was very fitting.
In her eyes, this move was even swifter and more terrifying than the divine-speed slash, Raging Dragon Slash.
Raging Dragon Slash, although its speed was so fast she couldn't defend against it, she could at least still see the attack trajectory.
And the Flying Thunder God, that was a movement whose direction of movement could not even be observed by the naked eye.
It was as mysterious and unpredictable as teleportation.
While Liam's strength was becoming stronger and stronger, the entire duel field seemed to have come alive.
Almost any place where there was soil began to flash with a red light.
A large number of monsters appeared in the tunnels around the Colosseum. They crazily poured into the duel field along the stone bridge.
And on the inner side of the duel field, the walls and floor also cracked rapidly.
The entire duel field was almost enveloped by the red light of the Dungeon's revival. Almost all the floors were cracking, and one by one, Earthborns broke through the earth...
"This is?"
Liam had never expected another strange movement. Upon seeing more and more monsters arriving, his expression also became serious.
At this time, the crowding monsters could no longer be described as a tide, but more like a tsunami, a cataclysmic tsunami of corpses, flooding over.
"Ryuu, it's time to use the fire stones! Throw all the fire stones out!"
"Okay!"
Liam handed his fire stones to the other party, and then with one arm, he held the young woman's waist, and the two jumped into the air.
Immediately after, all the remaining fire stones were thrown towards the ground. Liam used Wrath to slash out a large amount of flame sword aura at the fire stones.
"BOOM!"
The fire stones kicked up a violent explosion, and a huge tremor came from the duel field.
The two stayed in mid-air. Liam, with Wrath, released his largest-ranged slash at the interior of the duel field.
Smoke and dust rushed to a high altitude, and then were cut open and blown away by Liam's slash.
The ground of the Colosseum, which had accumulated a large amount of damage after a long battle, completely collapsed, and even the walls of the duel field began to collapse.
The ground cracked and collapsed. Under the large hole, there was actually a very deep tunnel.
Liam changed direction in the air, and held Ryuu Lion, who was falling, by the waist. His other hand threw out a sharp blade, and then the two stood on the spine of this sharp blade.
The distance between the two was very close. To prevent Ryuu from falling, he even held her waist.
The young woman's face became ruddy, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up.
"Let's drill in first and see what's inside. It just so happens that my stamina has been consumed a lot now."
"Okay!"
Following the tunnel that appeared on the floor, the two directly drilled in.
And not long after the two went in, the exit of the tunnel was also blocked.
Liam also hadn't expected that the duel field could actually undergo this kind of change. It seemed that the Dungeon's repair had a certain randomness.
Advancing in this quiet tunnel, Ryuu looked at Liam's tall back and thought for a long time, finally deciding to explain her past in more detail.
This was a candidate for her partner. It was just that after knowing her sins, what would Liam think of her?
"Liam, did you know? I'm actually a sinner. I watched my Familia companions die without helping, and killed a friend with my own hands, yet I survived.
I was blinded by darkness and killed at will, but not for any justice.
The belief that Alise and the others sacrificed their lives for, as the goddess said, I abandoned it. The justice in my heart is gone...
Liam, I want to know what you think of me."
Liam did not answer directly, but walked to Ryuu's side. "Then, tell me the details of what happened then?
It doesn't matter if you can't."
Wanting Ryuu to explain the specific details was mainly to let her walk out of those painful memories.
Ryuu gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths, as if having made some kind of decision.
"At that time, we were lured into the Dungeon by people from the Dark Faction and were ambushed. Then the Juggernaut appeared..."
In the end, with her captain holding back the Juggernaut, Ryuu used a magic attack to attack both Captain Alise and the Juggernaut at the same time, but the Juggernaut escaped.
Alise was even killed by her own hands, which had made Ryuu suffer until now. "But the Ryuu I know has always been a righteous knight. This is a code of conduct that even I can't achieve.
Ryuu, the Ryuu I know can always be called a hero, a knight, a noble flower..."
"And, if you had really died, your friends would definitely have been angry. Even for them, you have to continue to live happily and fulfilled!"
Liam's words made Ryuu flustered. Even when walking, the toes of both her feet were subconsciously curled tightly. Her small, fair hands were also clenched into fists, her cheeks flushed.
Ryuu admitted that she was really starting to like Liam. No, she had long had a good impression of Liam. And now, she liked him so much.
"I..."
Ryuu still wanted to say something, but a Barbarian Warrior rushed out from the ruins behind the two.
"ROAR!"
The Barbarian Warrior's right fist smashed fiercely towards Ryuu's side.
And Liam had already instantly summoned Sloth and Lust, and was confronting the other party head-on with Thrusting Smash.
"BOOM!"
An even more exaggerated impact than the Barbarian Warrior's sent the Barbarian Warrior's body flying. Then a dazzling sword aura cut the other's body, turning it into smoke and dissipating.
Although the Barbarian Warrior's weight was exaggerated, it was sent flying into the sky like a toy by Liam.
As his Sword Soul template was enhanced, his basic attributes were also advancing by leaps and bounds.
"Ryuu, look there!"
Following the direction Liam pointed, Ryuu also saw a bright light appear in the distance of the tunnel.
The two quickly approached following the bright light, and then actually saw a clear spring.
Because of the special environment of the Dungeon, the spring water here was actually glowing.
"This water is glowing. Can we drink it? It won't have radiation, will it?"
Liam looked at the spring water with some confusion.
Ryuu turned to look at Liam, "What is radiation?"
"Nothing, don't mind it."
"It's really amazing. There's actually a water source below the 37th floor. I've never heard anyone mention it before."
"While there's water, shall we quickly wash up, eat, and rest for a while?" Liam walked into the spring and looked at it.
So there were some crystals at the bottom of the spring, which was why it was glowing. The last bit of worry disappeared.
"Mmm."
Liam and Ryuu began to make preparations separately. At this time, there was only a little bit of slime reserve left, which could be directly thrown away.
Lighting a bonfire, boiling the spring water, storing the boiled water, preparing dinner. All the work was proceeding in an orderly manner.
When dinner was over, the two began to wash up in turns.
Of course, the so-called cleaning was just jumping into the cool spring water, rubbing the skin with a cloth, and slightly removing some of the sweat, dirt, and dust from the body.
As for cleaning supplies for the body, neither of them had prepared any. After all, what they carried, and what was in the adventurer's backpack, there were no hygiene products prepared.
Around the bonfire, the two sat a certain distance apart, looking into the distance.
The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. At this time, both were wearing very little. One was wearing shorts, the other shorts and a tube top.
"Liam, I'm a little cold. Can you come a little closer? We can huddle together, which is more conducive to maintaining body temperature."
Ryuu's pointed elven ears had long since turned bright red, and even her speaking voice was trembling.
"Our current method is very inefficient. For better combat later, we have to use our bodies for warmth now.
To avoid things like catching a cold that would cause our physical condition to decline. Now is not the time to hesitate.
Hurry up, before our bodies lose heat and it's too late to recover..."
For Ryuu to say such words was enough to show that Ryuu had long since accepted Liam.
Liam suddenly felt his mouth a little dry. Ryuu's appearance and figure were beyond doubt.
Facing the young woman's embrace, Liam had no reason to refuse. He nodded. Actually, his heart had long since been beating faster.
And so Liam held Ryuu, and the two draped two cloaks over themselves, huddling together.
"Liam, your sword hilt is poking me."
"Ryuu, I can't stand it anymore! Which cadre can withstand such a test?"
After Liam finished speaking, he came to the front of Ryuu and kissed her.
"Mmm~!"
Ryuu was very flustered, but in the end, she also chose to respond head-on.
...
After kissing for about a few minutes, Liam stopped his actions under the gaze of the Great God of Harmony.
"Ryuu, I want to have more than one wife. If you are willing, you can be one of my many wings.
Of course, I will love each of you equally."
"Liam! Do you know what you're saying?"
Ryuu was suddenly filled with anger. She had just been kissed by the other party, and now the other party was saying this. Was he playing with her?
Unable to take the anger, Ryuu, ashamed and annoyed, lay beside Liam and bit Liam's shoulder forcefully, not letting go even when the other party begged for mercy.
Forcefully biting a bloody tooth mark on Liam's shoulder.
"Better now?"
Liam placed his hand on the other's head, and was then forcefully thrown off by the other party.
Afterward, Liam didn't say anything else. He continued to reach out and hold the other in his arms, "Ryuu, I'll sleep for a while first. We'll take turns resting later."
"Mmm."
He had just channeled a large amount of sword aura into the Selfless Sword Domain, which made his body very tired. Now his eyelids were fighting.
Of course, while sleeping, he could also passively transport sword aura to the Selfless Sword Domain to accumulate sword aura for the weapons inside.
It was just that doing it proactively would accumulate it faster.
After a period of time, the two fell asleep one after another and had replenished their stamina.
Ryuu put the newly drawn map into her backpack, and then the two began to explore again.
Ryuu sized up the surroundings and pointed at the blocked cave entrance above. "Liam, look there."
The surroundings had already been sealed off, and the front was impassable.
Liam followed Ryuu's gaze and happened to see a piece of crystal. "Dig out from here?"
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, we can return to the normal area of the thirty-seventh floor from here."
"Okay."
Using Original Sin, he transformed it into a shovel. With the enhancement of sword aura, the digging speed was very fast.
However, Liam still wanted to continue digging, but the crystal had completely shattered, revealing a hole one meter in diameter.
Following the hole, the two came directly to the thirty-seventh floor.
After advancing for a period of time, Liam and the two reached the large circular wall.
"The wall surface is gray. Without a doubt, this is the large circular wall. That is, the fourth circular wall. As long as we pass through here, only the fifth circular wall will be left."
